Our first care has been to keep the matter secret.-- You knew nothing of me, or my family, and, therefore, there could be no OCCASION for ever mentioning my name to you; and, as he was always particularly afraid of his sister's suspecting any thing, THAT was reason enough for his not mentioning it."
Nuestro principal cuidado ha sido mantener este asunto en secreto... Usted no sabía nada de mí o de mi familia, y por ello en ningún momento podía darse la oportunidad de mencionarle mi nombre; y como siempre él estaba tan temeroso de que su hermana sospechara algo, tenía motivo suficiente para no mencionarlo.
