There is a light-heartedness about his letters like that of the old Eton times. Something might have been owing to the impulse of health, which was due to the tropical heat. Most probably this heat was what exhausted his constitution so early, but at first it was a delightful stimulus, and gave him exemption from all those discomforts with which cold had affected him at home.

There is a light-heartedness about his letters like that of the old Eton times. Something might have been owing to the impulse of health, which was due to the tropical heat. Most probably this heat was what exhausted his constitution so early, but at first it was a delightful stimulus, and gave him exemption from all those discomforts with which cold had affected him at home. This exhilaration bore him over the many trials of close contact with uncivilised human nature so completely that his friends never even guessed at his natural fastidiousness. That which might have been selfish in this fastidiousness was conquered, though the refinement remained. Even to the last, in his most solitary hours, this personal neatness never relaxed, but the victory over disgust was a real triumph over self, which no doubt was an element of happiness.

Autorenporträt
English author Charlotte Mary Yonge (1823-1901) composed her works for the church. Her prodigious literary output not only demonstrated her deep interest in public health and sanitation issues, but also contributed to the Oxford Movement's wider dissemination. William Yonge and Fanny Yonge, née Bargus, welcomed Charlotte Mary Yonge into the world on August 11, 1823, at Otterbourne, Hampshire, England. Her father taught her schooling at home, where she studied algebra, Latin, Greek, and French. Her father might be a strict teacher: I could never have matched his meticulousness and correctness. He frequently made me cry and yelled at me so loudly that no one could listen, yet his approval was so sweet that it was a great stimulation. I think it would have devastated our hearts to stop working together, despite everyone's complaints about my inherent slovenliness. We continued till I was a few years older than twenty. Yonge's relationship with her father appears to have established the bar for all future relationships, including marriage, because of her unwavering lifetime commitment to him. Their "approbation was throughout life my bliss; his anger my misery for the time."
