As to me, I believe my affair is out of the question. He has delayed it so long, that he is partly ashamed, partly afraid, and partly unwilling to bring it on. But in that too, submission is my duty and my policy. It signifies little how these last days are spent — and on my death — I think they will pay my debts.
Seite 142 - But it signifies nothing : what I wrote was to discharge a debt I thought to my own and my son's memory, and to those who ought not to be considered as guilty of prodigality in giving me what is beyond my merits, but not beyond my debts, as you know.
