My landlady had told her I was very melancholy, and that she believed that had done me harm; and once, before me, said to her, 'Mrs. B----' (meaning the midwife), 'I believe this lady's trouble is of a kind that is pretty much in your way, and therefore if you can do anything for her, pray do, for she is a very civil gentlewoman'; and so she went out of the room.
--Madame B..., je crois que l'indisposition de cette dame est de celles où vous vous entendez assez; je vous prie donc, si vous pouvez quelque chose pour elle, de n'y point manquer, car c'est une fort honnête personne. Et ainsi elle sortit de la chambre.
