In The Preface To A Novel
Context:
Escrevi o romance em quinze dias, os mais atormentados de minha vida. Tão horrorizada tenho deles memória, que nunca mais abrirei o Amor de Perdição, nem lhe passarei a lima sobre os defeitos nas edições futuras, se é que nã saiu tolhiço incorrigivel da primeira.
Muita Obrigada,
Barbara
