I picked out my man without much difficulty, by the judgment I made of his way of courting me. I had let him run on with his protestations and oaths that he loved me above all the world; that if I would make him happy, that was enough; all which I knew was upon supposition, nay, it was upon a full satisfaction, that I was very rich, though I never told him a word of it myself.
Je marquai mon homme sans grande difficulté par le jugement que je fis de sa façon de me courtiser; je l'avais laissé s'enfoncer dans ses protestations qu'il m'aimait le mieux du monde, et que si je voulais le rendre heureux, il serait satisfait de tout; choses qui, je le savais, étaient fondées sur la supposition que j'étais très riche, quoique je n'en eusse soufflé mot.
