No doubt it would have been better; but I should not be avenged, nor the honour of my husband vindicated, should he find so clear and easy an escape from the strait into which his depravity has led him.
Mejor fuera, sin duda; pero no quedara yo vengada, ni la honra de mi marido satisfecha, si tan a manos lavadas y tan a paso llano se volviera a salir de donde sus malos pensamientos le entraron.
