It would please and benefit me to have five thousand pounds; it would torment and oppress me to have twenty thousand; which, moreover, could never be mine in justice, though it might in law.
Je serai heureuse d'avoir cinq mille livres; mais vingt mille ne feraient que me tourmenter; et puis, si cet argent m'appartient aux yeux de la loi, il ne m'appartient pas aux yeux de la justice.
