I offered immediately, as soon as my mother related the affair to me, to talk to him myself, and dissuade him from the match; but it was too late THEN, I found, to do any thing, for unluckily, I was not in the way at first, and knew nothing of it till after the breach had taken place, when it was not for me, you know, to interfere.
Apenas mi madre me contó todo el asunto, de inmediato me ofrecí- a hablarle, a disuadirlo de la unión; pero, según pude darme cuenta, ya era demasiado tarde para hacer algo, pues por desgracia no estuve ahí en los primeros momentos y no supe nada de lo ocurrido hasta después de la ruptura, cuando, ya sabe usted, no me correspondía interferir.
