He came back to me and took me in his arms, and kissed me very tenderly; but told me he had a long discourse to hold with me, and it was not come to that crisis, that I should make myself happy or miserable as long as I lived; that the thing was now gone so far, that if I could not comply with his desire, we would both be ruined.
Il revint vers moi, me prit dans ses bras et me baisa très tendrement, mais me dit que les choses en étaient venues à leur crise, et que j'avais pouvoir de me rendre heureuse ou infortunée ma vie durant; que si je ne pouvais m'accorder à son désir, nous serions tous deux perdus.
