11 December

A story to show how we are all wronged and wrongers, and avenge one another.

(These passages were written in Hawthorne's American Note-Books between 6 December 1837 and 11 May 1838.)

Sorrow to be personified, and its effect on a family represented by the way in which the members of the family regard this dark-clad and sad-browed inmate.

A story to show how we are all wronged and wrongers, and avenge one another.

To personify winds of various characters.

A man living a wicked life in one place, and simultaneously a virtuous and religious one in another.

An ornament to be worn about the person of a lady, as a jewelled heart. After many years it happens to be broken or unscrewed, and a poisonous odour comes out.
