An angel! Nonsense! Everybody so describes his mistress; and yetI find it impossible to tell you how perfect she is, or why she isso perfect: suffice it to say she has captivated all my senses.
😂😂
I alighted; and a maid came to the door, and requested us to waita moment for her mistress. I walked across the court to a well-builthouse, and, ascending the flight of steps in front, opened the door,and saw before me the most charming spectacle I had ever witnessed.Six children, from eleven to two years old, were running about thehall, and surrounding a lady of middle height, with a lovely figure,dressed in a robe of simple white, trimmed with pink ribbons. Shewas holding a rye loaf in her hand, and was cutting slices for thelittle ones all around, in proportion to their age and appetite.She performed her task in a graceful and affectionate manner; eachclaimant awaiting his turn with outstretched hands, and boisterouslyshouting his thanks. Some of them ran away at once, to enjoy theirevening meal; whilst others, of a gentler disposition, retired tothe courtyard to see the strangers, and to survey the carriage inwhich their Charlotte was to drive away. "Pray forgive me forgiving you the trouble to come for me, and for keeping the ladieswaiting: but dressing, and arranging some household duties beforeI leave, had made me forget my children's supper; and they do notlike to take it from any one but me." I uttered some indifferentcompliment: but my whole soul was absorbed by her air, her voice,her manner; and I had scarcely recovered myself when she ran intoher room to fetch her gloves and fan. The young ones threw inquiringglances at me from a distance; whilst I approached the youngest,a most delicious little creature. He drew back; and Charlotte,entering at the very moment, said, "Louis, shake hands with yourcousin." The little fellow obeyed willingly; and I could notresist giving him a hearty kiss, notwithstanding his rather dirtyface. "Cousin," said I to Charlotte, as I handed her down, "doyou think I deserve the happiness of being related to you?" Shereplied, with a ready smile, "Oh! I have such a number of cousins,that I should be sorry if you were the most undeserving of them."In taking leave, she desired her next sister, Sophy, a girl abouteleven years old, to take great care of the children, and to saygood-bye to papa for her when he came home from his ride. Sheenjoined to the little ones to obey their sister Sophy as theywould herself, upon which some promised that they would; but alittle fair-haired girl, about six years old, looked discontented,and said, "But Sophy is not you, Charlotte; and we like you best."The two eldest boys had clambered up the carriage; and, at myrequest, she permitted them to accompany us a little way throughthe forest, upon their promising to sit very still, and hold fast.
How happy I am that I am gone! My dear friend, what a thing isthe heart of man! To leave you, from whom I have been inseparable,whom I love so dearly, and yet to feel happy! I know you willforgive me. Have not other attachments been specially appointedby fate to torment a head like mine? Poor Leonora! and yet I wasnot to blame. Was it my fault, that, whilst the peculiar charmsof her sister afforded me an agreeable entertainment, a passionfor me was engendered in her feeble heart? And yet am I whollyblameless? Did I not encourage her emotions? Did I not feelcharmed at those truly genuine expressions of nature, which, thoughbut little mirthful in reality, so often amused us? Did I not --but oh! what is man, that he dares so to accuse himself? My dearfriend I promise you I will improve; I will no longer, as has everbeen my habit, continue to ruminate on every petty vexation whichfortune may dispense; I will enjoy the present, and the past shallbe for me the past. No doubt you are right, my best of friends,there would be far less suffering amongst mankind, if men -- andGod knows why they are so fashioned -- did not employ theirimaginations so assiduously in recalling the memory of past sorrow,instead of bearing their present lot with equanimity. Be kindenough to inform my mother that I shall attend to her business tothe best of my ability, and shall give her the earliest informationabout it. I have seen my aunt, and find that she is very far frombeing the disagreeable person our friends allege her to be. Sheis a lively, cheerful woman, with the best of hearts. I explainedto her my mother's wrongs with regard to that part of her portionwhich has been withheld from her. She told me the motives andreasons of her own conduct, and the terms on which she is willingto give up the whole, and to do more than we have asked. In short,I cannot write further upon this subject at present; only assuremy mother that all will go on well. And I have again observed,my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandingsand neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even maliceand wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequentoccurrence.
A new and detailed investigation by Forbes has raised significant questions about the management and custody of customer assets and stablecoin collateral by Binance. There are many possible explanations for the nature and intent of certain on-chain transactions highlighted by Forbes, and they could be entirely innocuous. But Binance’s so far confused and sometimes contradictory responses to the findings do not inspire confidence, particularly in a post-FTX era of rightfully widespread suspicion of centralized custodians with off-chain balance sheets.
I have often, my dear Wilhelm, reflected on the eagerness men feelto wander and make new discoveries, and upon that secret impulsewhich afterward inclines them to return to their narrow circle,conform to the laws of custom, and embarrass themselves no longerwith what passes around them.

Believe me, dear Wilhelm, I did not allude to you when I spoke soseverely of those who advise resignation to inevitable fate. Idid not think it possible for you to indulge such a sentiment.But in fact you are right. I only suggest one objection. In thisworld one is seldom reduced to make a selection between twoalternatives. There are as many varieties of conduct and opinionas there are turns of feature between an aquiline nose and a flatone.

As a result, the market's concern could shift to an economic recession. # Concerns about an economic recession have recently begun to emerge in the U.S. The direction of the economic recession issue will be determined by the direction of the indicators released today. # Retail sales fell in March from February, industrial output slowed from February, and corporate inventories are expected to rise in February from January. If all three fall below market expectations, concerns over an economic recession may intensify. # The preliminary figures for the Michigan University Consumer Index for April are generally expected to be positive. The expectation index is expected to rise slightly compared to March, and the sentiment index is expected to be the same as in March. # It is also worth paying attention to the announcement of the number of excavation equipment announced by Baker Hughes. Despite the recent strength of international oil prices, the number of excavation equipment is rather decreasing, and it is important whether this trend will continue.

"The grief of all arose, but most the bursting sigh of Armin. Heremembers the death of his son, who fell in the days of his youth.Carmor was near the hero, the chief of the echoing Galmal. Whyburst the sigh of Armin? he said. Is there a cause to mourn? Thesong comes with its music to melt and please the soul. It is likesoft mist that, rising from a lake, pours on the silent vale;the green flowers are filled with dew, but the sun returns in hisstrength, and the mist is gone. Why art thou sad, O Armin, chiefof sea-surrounded Gorma?
Amid all these considerations she felt deeply but indistinctlythat her own real but unexpressed wish was to retain him for herself,and her pure and amiable heart felt from this thought a sense ofoppression which seemed to forbid a prospect of happiness. Shewas wretched: a dark cloud obscured her mental vision.

And thou, good soul, who sufferest the same distress as he enduredonce, draw comfort from his sorrows; and let this little book bethy friend, if, owing to fortune or through thine own fault, thoucanst not find a dearer companion.
The day before yesterday, the physician came from the town to paya visit to the judge. He found me on the floor playing withCharlotte's children. Some of them were scrambling over me, andothers romped with me; and, as I caught and tickled them, theymade a great noise. The doctor is a formal sort of personage: headjusts the plaits of his ruffles, and continually settles hisfrill whilst he is talking to you; and he thought my conduct beneaththe dignity of a sensible man. I could perceive this by hiscountenance. But I did not suffer myself to be disturbed. Iallowed him to continue his wise conversation, whilst I rebuiltthe children's card houses for them as fast as they threw themdown. He went about the town afterward, complaining that thejudge's children were spoiled enough before, but that now Wertherwas completely ruining them.

Arindal, thy bow was strong, thy spearwas swift on the field, thy look was like mist on the wave, thyshield a red cloud in a storm! Armar, renowned in war, came andsought Daura's love. He was not long refused: fair was the hopeof their friends.
We were the second couple in the third country dance. As we weregoing down (and Heaven knows with what ecstasy I gazed at her armsand eyes, beaming with the sweetest feeling of pure and genuineenjoyment), we passed a lady whom I had noticed for her charmingexpression of countenance; although she was no longer young. Shelooked at Charlotte with a smile, then, holding up her finger ina threatening attitude, repeated twice in a very significant toneof voice the name of "Albert."

Albert, upon his return, was received by Charlotte withill-concealed embarrassment. He was himself out of humour; hisbusiness was unfinished; and he had just discovered that theneighbouring official with whom he had to deal, was an obstinateand narrow-minded personage. Many things had occurred to irritatehim.

You should see how foolish I look in company when her name ismentioned, particularly when I am asked plainly how I like her.How I like her! I detest the phrase. What sort of creature musthe be who merely liked Charlotte, whose whole heart and senseswere not entirely absorbed by her. Like her! Some one asked melately how I liked Ossian.

I have found but one being here to interest me, a Miss B--. Sheresembles you, my dear Charlotte, if any one can possibly resembleyou. "Ah!" you will say, "he has learned how to pay fine compliments."And this is partly true. I have been very agreeable lately, asit was not in my power to be otherwise. I have, moreover, a dealof wit: and the ladies say that no one understands flattery better,or falsehoods you will add; since the one accomplishment invariablyaccompanies the other. But I must tell you of Miss B--. She hasabundance of soul, which flashes from her deep blue eyes. Herrank is a torment to her, and satisfies no one desire of her heart.She would gladly retire from this whirl of fashion, and we oftenpicture to ourselves a life of undisturbed happiness in distantscenes of rural retirement: and then we speak of you, my dearCharlotte; for she knows you, and renders homage to your merits;but her homage is not exacted, but voluntary, she loves you, anddelights to hear you made the subject of conversation.

I have lately become acquainted with a Miss B--, a very agreeablegirl, who has retained her natural manners in the midst of artificiallife. Our first conversation pleased us both equally; and, attaking leave, I requested permission to visit her. She consentedin so obliging a manner, that I waited with impatience for thearrival of the happy moment. She is not a native of this place,but resides here with her aunt. The countenance of the old ladyis not prepossessing. I paid her much attention, addressing thegreater part of my conversation to her; and, in less than half anhour, I discovered what her niece subsequently acknowledged to me,that her aged aunt, having but a small fortune, and a still smallershare of understanding, enjoys no satisfaction except in thepedigree of her ancestors, no protection save in her noble birth,and no enjoyment but in looking from her castle over the heads ofthe humble citizens. She was, no doubt, handsome in her youth,and in her early years probably trifled away her time in renderingmany a poor youth the sport of her caprice: in her riper years shehas submitted to the yoke of a veteran officer, who, in return forher person and her small independence, has spent with her what wemay designate her age of brass. He is dead; and she is now awidow, and deserted. She spends her iron age alone, and would notbe approached, except for the loveliness of her niece.

The consolation Charlotte can bring to an invalid I experiencefrom my own heart, which suffers more from her absence than manya poor creature lingering on a bed of sickness. She is gone tospend a few days in the town with a very worthy woman, who is givenover by the physicians, and wishes to have Charlotte near her inher last moments. I accompanied her last week on a visit to theVicar of S--, a small village in the mountains, about a leaguehence. We arrived about four o'clock: Charlotte had taken herlittle sister with her. When we entered the vicarage court, wefound the good old man sitting on a bench before the door, underthe shade of two large walnut-trees. At the sight of Charlottehe seemed to gain new life, rose, forgot his stick, and venturedto walk toward her. She ran to him, and made him sit down again;then, placing herself by his side, she gave him a number of messagesfrom her father, and then caught up his youngest child, a dirty,ugly little thing, the joy of his old age, and kissed it. I wishyou could have witnessed her attention to this old man, --how sheraised her voice on account of his deafness; how she told him ofhealthy young people, who had been carried off when it was leastexpected; praised the virtues of Carlsbad, and commended hisdetermination to spend the ensuing summer there; and assured himthat he looked better and stronger than he did when she saw himlast. I, in the meantime, paid attention to his good lady. Theold man seemed quite in spirits; and as I could not help admiringthe beauty of the walnut-trees, which formed such an agreeableshade over our heads, he began, though with some little difficulty,to tell us their history. "As to the oldest," said he, "we do notknow who planted it, -- some say one clergyman, and some another:but the younger one, there behind us, is exactly the age of my wife,fifty years old next October; her father planted it in the morning,and in the evening she came into the world. My wife's father wasmy predecessor here, and I cannot tell you how fond he was of thattree; and it is fully as dear to me. Under the shade of that verytree, upon a log of wood, my wife was seated knitting, when I, apoor student, came into this court for the first time, just sevenand twenty years ago." Charlotte inquired for his daughter. Hesaid she was gone with Herr Schmidt to the meadows, and was withthe haymakers. The old man then resumed his story, and told ushow his predecessor had taken a fancy to him, as had his daughterlikewise; and how he had become first his curate, and subsequentlyhis successor. He had scarcely finished his story when his daughterreturned through the garden, accompanied by the above-mentionedHerr Schmidt. She welcomed Charlotte affectionately, and I confessI was much taken with her appearance. She was a lively-looking,good-humoured brunette, quite competent to amuse one for a shorttime in the country. Her lover (for such Herr Schmidt evidentlyappeared to be) was a polite, reserved personage, and would notjoin our conversation, notwithstanding all Charlotte's endeavoursto draw him out. I was much annoyed at observing, by his countenance,that his silence did not arise from want of talent, but from capriceand ill-humour. This subsequently became very evident, when weset out to take a walk, and Frederica joining Charlotte, with whomI was talking, the worthy gentleman's face, which was naturallyrather sombre, became so dark and angry that Charlotte was obligedto touch my arm, and remind me that I was talking too much toFrederica. Nothing distresses me more than to see men tormenteach other; particularly when in the flower of their age, in thevery season of pleasure, they waste their few short days of sunshinein quarrels and disputes, and only perceive their error when itis too late to repair it. This thought dwelt upon my mind; andin the evening, when we returned to the vicar's, and were sittinground the table with our bread end milk, the conversation turnedon the joys and sorrows of the world, I could not resist thetemptation to inveigh bitterly a
My acquaintance with the Count C-- is the only compensation forsuch an evil. He told me frankly, the other day, that he was muchdispleased with the difficulties and delays of the ambassador;that people like him are obstacles, both to themselves and toothers. "But," added he, "one must submit, like a traveller whohas to ascend a mountain: if the mountain was not there, the roadwould be both shorter and pleasanter; but there it is, and he mustget over it."

I returned home to supper in the evening. But few persons wereassembled in the room. They had turned up a corner of the table-cloth,and were playing at dice. The good-natured A-- came in. He laiddown his hat when he saw me, approached me, and said in a low tone,"You have met with a disagreeable adventure." "I!" I exclaimed."The count obliged you to withdraw from the assembly!" "Deucetake the assembly!" said I. "I was very glad to be gone." "I amdelighted," he added, "that you take it so lightly. I am onlysorry that it is already so much spoken of." The circumstancethen began to pain me. I fancied that every one who sat down, andeven looked at me, was thinking of this incident; and my heartbecame embittered.

One fine evening in winter, when the weather seemed inclined tothaw, Charlotte and Albert were returning home together. Theformer looked from time to time about her, as if she missed Werther'scompany. Albert began to speak of him, and censured him for hisprejudices. He alluded to his unfortunate attachment, and wishedit were possible to discontinue his acquaintance. "I desire it onour own account," he added; "and I request you will compel him toalter his deportment toward you, and to visit you less frequently.The world is censorious, and I know that here and there we arespoken of." Charlotte made no reply, and Albert seemed to feelher silence. At least, from that time he never again spoke ofWerther; and, when she introduced the subject, he allowed theconversation to die away, or else he directed the discourse intoanother channel.
