Transcriber Notes:
Throughout the dialogues, there were words used to mimic accents of the speakers. Those words were retained as-is.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate.
Errors in punctuations and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted.
In the frontispiece, a closing bracket was added after See p. 8.
On page 22, craêpe was replaced with crêpe.
On page 122, balony was replaced with balcony.
On page 159, the period before and later, was replaced with a comma.
On page 160, pursuasion was replaced with persuasion.
On page 226, weded was replaced with wedded.
