[21]
She now thinks that she
is to welcome me home after I have won a just verdict from you, and that my
sister will not be portionless. But, if you decide adversely （which may
heaven forfend） what, think you, will be her anguish of soul when she
sees me not only robbed of my patrimony, but disenfranchised as well, and has no
hope that my sister will find an establishment that befits her station because
of the poverty that will be ours?
