However, it was plain there was no bringing my husband to anything; he would neither go with me nor let me go without him, and it was quite out of my power to stir without his consent, as any one that knows the constitution of the country I was in, knows very well.
Toutefois, il n'y eut point de moyen d'amener mon mari au consentement; il ne voulait pas partir avec moi, ni me laisser partir sans lui, et il était hors de mon pouvoir de bouger sans son autorisation, comme le sait fort bien quiconque connaît la constitution de cette contrée.
