I am entirely ignorant of the event you speak of; I presume that in general such as are concerned in public affairs sometimes come to a miserable end; and that they deserve it: but I never inquire what is doing at Constantinople; I am contented with sending thither the produce of my garden, which I cultivate with my own hands."
Ignoro absolutamente la aventura de que me hablais; presumo, sí, que generalmente los que manejan los negocios públicos perecen á veces miserablemente, y que bien se lo merecen; pero jamas me informo de los sucesos de Constantinopla, contentandome con enviará vender allá las frutas del huerto que labro.
