    Such unpar­al­leled free­ness on your part would have been to open all the recess­es of my past life to your inspec­tion. Very like­ly you were
    right; but, I don’t know how it is, I nev­er was a man that could make a clean breast of it, and tell every­thing, even to the dear­est
    friend that ever lived. There are cer­tain mat­ters I some­how can’t bring my mind to lay bare to any­body; not, per­haps, because they are more shame­ful or more self­ish than such mat­ters com­mon­ly are, but they are mine—mine only—if you have any lit­tle pri­vate con­cerns of your own, I hope, in your own mind, you will give me cred­it for a share of such­like ret­i­cence. How­ev­er, not to dis­ap­point you entire­ly, I intend, before we sep­a­rate, to trou­ble you with one or two fam­i­ly mat­ters; and if any­thing I can tell you about my own con­cerns can afford you enter­tain­ment or instruc­tion, you are wel­come to the nar­ra­tive of which the lead­ing fea­tures shall be giv­en as short­ly as pos­si­ble,
    with all the orig­i­nal reflec­tions and obser­va­tions there­on that I can muster.

    I must go back to a very ear­ly peri­od of my life, to begin prop­er­ly; for it was not till after many sig­nif­i­cant inci­dents had occurred, that the idea of mak­ing any record of them entered my head; and you shall chew the cud of those very unso­phis­ti­cat­ed, unadul­ter­at­ed
    facts, with­out any high-sea­son­ing of wit or humour to make them palat­able. I nev­er could excite in myself an inter­est in tales of
    stud­ied adven­tures, and fab­ri­cat­ed hor­rors. The sim­ple nar­ra­tive and ordi­nary feel­ings of an obscure indi­vid­ual seem to me more
    attrac­tive than the most thrilling romance or the most won­der­ful plu­ton­ist; I may, or may not, pro­ceed after­wards to give an account of the
    more remark­able events of my life that fol­lowed.

    So begins our jour­ney through my life’s tale, friends of old and scenes long van­ished.
