My
wife, too, to whom I am deeply attached, was in poor health for a long time
during my absence; my children were small and my estate was in debt; my land not
only produced no crops, but that year, as you all know, the water even dried up
in the wells, so that not a vegetable grew in the garden; and my creditors at
the expiration of the year came to collect their interest, unless the principal
was paid to them according to the contract.
