However, he got his indictment deferred, upon promise to discover his accomplices, and particularly the man that was concerned with him in his robbery; and he failed not to do his endeavour, for he gave in my name, whom he called Gabriel Spencer, which was the name I went by to him; and here appeared the wisdom of my concealing my name and sex from him, which, if he had ever known I had been undone.
Pourtant il obtint un sursis d'accusation, sur promesse de révéler ses complices, et en particulier l'homme avec lequel il avait commis ce vol; et il ne manqua pas d'y porter tous ses efforts, car il donna mon nom, qu'il dit être Gabriel Spencer, qui était le nom sous lequel je passais auprès de lui; et voilà où paraît la prudence que j'eus en me cachant de lui, sans quoi j'eusse été perdue.
