I came home with this last booty to my governess, and really when I told her the story, it so affected her that she was hardly able to forbear tears, to know how such a gentleman ran a daily risk of being undone every time a glass of wine got into his head.
Je rentrai chez ma gouvernante avec mon butin, et vraiment quand je lui contai l'histoire, elle put à peine retenir ses larmes de penser comment un tel gentilhomme courait journellement le risque de se perdre chaque fois qu'un verre de vin lui montait à la tête.
