It is possible that I might have placed them upon record before, but a promise of secrecy was made at the time, from which I have only been freed during the last month by the untimely death of the lady to whom the pledge was given.
Podría haberlo dado a conocer antes, pero en su momento se hizo una promesa de silencio, de la que no me he visto libre hasta el mes pasado, debido a la prematura muerte de la dama a quien se hizo la promesa.
