I told her she seemed to be so perfectly sensible of my condition, that I had nothing to ask of her but this, that as I had told her that I had money sufficient, but not a great quantity, she would order it so that I might be at as little superfluous charge as possible.
Je lui dis qu'elle semblait si parfaitement entendre ma condition, que je n'avais rien d'autre à lui demander que ceci: puisque j'avais d'argent assez, mais point en grande quantité, qu'elle voulût bien tout disposer pour que je fusse entretenue le moins copieusement qu'il se pourrait.
