At the time when he was Governor of a Province, Anna's aunt, a rich provincial lady, introduced him, who though not a young man was a young Governor, to her niece, and contrived to put him in such a position that he was obliged either to propose or leave the town.
Durante il suo governatorato, una zia di Anna, ricca signora di provincia, aveva presentato l’uomo non più giovane, ma giovane governatore, alla nipote e l’aveva messo in una situazione tale per cui egli doveva o dichiararsi o andar via dalla città.
