From this picture of my own disgrace and wretchedness it is not wonderful if my mind turned with relief to the thought of Pinkerton waiting for me, as I know, with unwearied affection, and regarding me with respect that I had never deserved, and might therefore fairly hope that I should never forfeit. The inequality of our relation struck me rudely. I must have been stupid, indeed, if I could have considered the history of that friendship without shame - I who had given so little, who had accepted and profited by so much . . .

Hello there,
I take the underlined sentences to be first conditional. Am I right?
