We broke off here for the present, and he made me promise him to come again the next day, for his resolutions upon my own business, which after some pressing I did; though had he seen farther into me, I wanted no pressing on that account. I came the next evening, accordingly, and brought my maid with me, to let him see that I kept a maid, but I sent her away as soon as I was gone in.
Nous brisâmes là pour l'instant, et il me fit promettre de revenir le jour suivant au sujet de ma propre affaire, ce à quoi je m'accordai, après m'être fait prier; quoique s'il m'eût percée plus profondément, il eût bien vu qu'il n'y avait nul besoin de me prier si fort.
