The Two Brothers

CHAPTER XVI
23/38

You shall be my aunt, and nothing more than my aunt.

You will take care that my uncle does not forget me in his will; on my side, you shall see how well I will have you treated in the marriage contract.
Keep calm, think it over, and we will talk of it later.

All sensible people, indeed the whole town, urge you to put an end to your illegal position; no one will blame you for receiving me.

It is well understood in the world that interests go before feelings.

By the day of your marriage you will be handsomer than ever.
