But this affair had its end too; for after about a year, I found that he did not come so often as usual, and at last he left if off altogether without any dislike to bidding adieu; and so there was an end of that short scene of life, which added no great store to me, only to make more work for repentance.
Mais cette affaire eut sa fin, elle aussi; car au bout d'un an environ, je trouvai qu'il ne venait plus aussi souvent, et enfin il cessa tout à fait, sans nul désagrément ou sans me dire adieu; de sorte que là se termina cette courte scène de vie qui m'apporta peu de chose vraiment, sinon pour me donner plus grand sujet de me repentir.
