What you think she do, it's this.
You think she pretends to love you, and you leave all your money with her.
She is to buy masses for your father's soul; she is to pay money to the Cure for the good of the Church; she is to buy a little here, a little there, for the house you and she are going to live in, the wedding and the dancing over.
