promised
to do as
much as he
can
afford.”
Isabella
recollected
herself.
“As to
that, my
sweet
Catherine,
there
cannot be
a doubt,
and you
know me
well
enough to
be sure
that a
much
smaller
income
would
satisfy
me. It is
not the
want of
more money
that makes
me just at
present a
little out
of
spirits; I
hate
money; and
if our
union
could take
place now
upon only
fifty
pounds a
year, I
should not
have a
wish
unsatisfied.
