As for Miss Tyler, I would think that someone of more considerable age and experience might be a welcome change, for you. I never had a high opinion of her sense of responsibility, or really of her, at all. Good riddance, in fact, but if you were willing to put up with months of her inanity, then you might at least attempt to shoulder as many with a grown man who might actually do you a service.
