Daoine mar chách dob ea m’athair agus mo mháthair, ach ón ngeárr-thuairisc seo, agus ón méid atá agam le cur leis im thaobh féin, is follas, dar liom, nár chosúil a gclann in aon chor le daoine eile, ach go raibh ins gach duine acu sprid fhiain chun fánaíochta a bhíonn le fáil, b’fhéidir, uaireanta i nduine aonair, ach gur annamh a ghabhann sí an chlann uile, go fiú na mná. Do bhí cuaird tugtha ageam dhriotháir William ar an Úróip, an Asia agus an Aifric sara raibh sé triochaid. Tá Matthew tar éis bheith in America fé dhó, in sna hÍndiatha Thiar turas, gan trácht ar iomad turas go Sasana agus a chuaird agus a thréimhse príosúin sa bhFrainnc, agus san uile déanta aige sara raibh sé a sheacht fichead. In aois a cheathairdéag tá turas tugtha cheana ag Arthur go Sasana, dhá thuras go dtí an Phoirtingéil agus dhá thuras thar mór-mhuir ag dul go hAmerica agus ag filleadh. Tá mo dhrifiúr Mary tar éis dul thar an mór-mhuir chéanna agus tá súil agam go ndéanfaidh go luath arís é ag dul thar n-ais abhaile dhi. Ní thráctaim anso ar mo bhan-chéile nár ar ár mbeirt bhuachaillí agus an cailín iníne, ná raibh an té ba shine acu ach ocht mbliana agus an té dob óige dhá bhliain d’aois nuair a sheólamair go hAmerica. Agus, de réir mar ’ chítar dom, níl aon deimhne ann go bhfuil deireadh ar fad lenár n-eachtraithe go fóill.
Tráchtfad anois orm féin. Mise, mar aduart, sínsear chlainne mo thuismitheóirí, agus ba mhór an bháidh a bhí liom. Do cuireadh me in aois a hocht nú a naoi ar scoil shár-mhaith Bhéarla a bhí ag Sisson Darling, duine go rabhas fé chomaoine mhór aige trí mhéid a chineálthais agus a dhúthrachta dhom. Do ghoibh sé cúram thar chách díom. Tá urraim agam fós do. Do bhínn ana-dhíomhaoin agus ní bhíodh aon rud ach corp náire a ghríosadh chun saothair me. Mar sin féin nuair a bhíodh na scrúdúcháin phoiblí ag dridim linn—bhídís ar siúl gach ráithe agus bhíodh ár muíntir agus ár gcáirde uile do láthair—do dheininn saothar tamall agus d’éiríodh liom de ghnáth óir tá a sé nú a seacht de dhuaiseanna agam a ghnóthaíos i mbrainnsí éagsamhla ag aon scrúdúchán amháin ar mhatamaitic, uimhreacht, léitheóireacht, agus cleachtadh na meall-chruinne, &rl. Do theipeadh go síoraí orm i dhá n-abhar léinn, scrí’ agus Teagasc Críostaí. Ní fhéadfainn choíche a thabhairt orm féin stuidéar a dhéanamh ar an gceann deiridh acu-san.
Tar éis tuairim trí bliana ’ chaitheamh i dteannta Mr. Darling, agus gabháil trí chúrsa ar fhormhór foghlama an Bhéarla, mhol sé go láidir do m’athair me do chur ar scoil Laidne agus me d’ollmhú i gcómhair na hOllscoile. Do chuir sé in úil do gur bhuachaill breá me, go raibh éirimí neamh-choitianta ionam, i gcómhair mhatamaitice go ró-speisialtha, agus go mba mhíle trua mo thairbhe ’ chaitheamh gan mhaitheas i ngairm gnótha nuair ba dheimhnitheach é, dá dtugtí oideachas fial dom, go dtiocfadh liom bheith im Fellow i gColáiste na Tríonóide, ní ba mhór mar chéim neamh-spleáchais, gan trácht ar an nglóire ’ leanfadh é. Fuair sé cúnamh sa tathant san ó Mhinistir na paróiste, an Dochtúir Jameson, duine cóir a cheistíodh ó am go ham me i mbun-abhar na céimseatan.
