Chapter XXXIX
CONCLUSION. Methinks it is almost unnecessary to write this last chapter. The story, as I have had to tell it, is all told. The object has been made plain--or, if not, can certainly not be made plainer in these last six or seven pages. The results of weakness and folly--of such weakness and such folly as is too customary among us--have been declared.
