This satisfied the parish officers presently, and I lay in with as much credit as I could have done if I had really been my Lady Cleve, and was assisted in my travail by three or four of the best citizens' wives of Bath who lived in the neighbourhood, which, however, made me a little the more expensive to him. I often expressed my concern to him about it, but he bid me not be concerned at it.
Ceci eut donné bientôt satisfaction aux officiers de la paroisse, et j'accouchai avec autant de crédit que si j'eusse été réellement milady Cleave, et fus assistée dans mon travail par trois ou quatre des plus notables bourgeoises de Bath; ce qui toutefois me rendit un peu plus coûteuse pour lui; je lui exprimais souvent mon souci à cet égard, mais il me priait de ne point m'en inquiéter.
