to any of the two sisters. He understood that his daughters were interested in his
property. They had no love and affection for him.

Dear Diary,
I could not realise the greedy nature of my two daughters.I feel very sorry for the first time in my life for not marrying another woman after my wife died.I am ashamed of the behaviour of my two daughters.I have understood that i am not a dear person to them.Only my properties are dear to them.My daughter,Amelia did not try to call a doctor to check my health when she found me lying on the bed.I could not expect and guess their attitude.I could not understand their love for my things.They forgot their responsibilities in taking care of me.How i can stay with them after i know they have no love and affection for me.I think my decision is correct.I should marry Mrs.John Shorrocks. May God give me strengh to go ahead in this matter.
Abel Merryweather.
