Excerpt from The Renewing of Friendship
It is the chief stock-in-trade of the writer of fiction, to depict the misunder standings which arise between two persons, through the sin of one, or the folly of both, or the villainy of a third; then comes the means by which the tangled skein is unravelled, and in the end every thing is satisfactorily explained, and the sorely-tried characters are ushered into a happiness stronger and sweeter than ever before. Friends quarrel, and are miser able in their state of separation; and afterward, when the friendship is re newed, it is discovered that the bitter dispute was only a blessing in disguise, as the renewal itself was an exquisite pleas ure, and the result has been a firmer and more stable relationship of love and trust.
