I made her very easy as to what she owed me, assuring her I would give her no trouble; but, on the contrary, in gratitude for her former care and faithfulness to me, I relieved her as my little stock would afford; which at that time would, indeed, allow me to do but little for her; but I assured her I would never forget her former kindness to me; nor did I forget her when I had sufficient to help her, as shall be observed in its proper place.
Bien au contraire, en reconnaissance de ses premiers soins et de sa fidélité envers moi, je l'assistai autant que le comportait mon petit avoir, qui pour lors, il est vrai, ne me permit pas de faire beaucoup pour elle. Mais je lui jurai que je garderais toujours souvenance de son ancienne amitié pour moi.
