She does not know how to hold her tongue, as you must perceive, and I am sure I was in the greatest fright in the world t'other day, when Edward's name was mentioned by Sir John, lest she should out with it all. You can't think how much I go through in my mind from it altogether.
Ze kàn haar tong niet in bedwang houden; dat hebt u wel gemerkt, en verleden was ik doodsbang, toen ze Sir John Edward's naam noemde, dat ze alles in eens zou uitflappen.
