He never so much as asked me about my fortune or estate, but assured me that when we came to Dublin he would jointure me in #600 a year good land; and that we could enter into a deed of settlement or contract here for the performance of it. This was such language indeed as I had not been used to, and I was here beaten out of all my measures; I had a she-devil in my bosom, every hour telling me how great her brother lived.
Il ne fit jamais tant que me demander rien au sujet de ma fortune ou de mon état; mais m'assura que, lorsque nous irions à Dublin, il me doterait d'une bonne terre qui rapportait 600 livres par an, et qu'il s'y engagerait en me la constituant par acte ou par contrat, afin d'en assurer l'exécution.
