Question

Far be it from me to repine at his doing so; he had an undoubted right to dispose of his own property as he chose, but, in consequence of it, we have been obliged to make large purchases of linen, china, &c. to supply the place of what was taken away.

Accepted Answer

Lejos estoy de quejarme por ello; el derecho que le asistía a disponer de sus bienes a su antojo es incuestionable. Pero, como consecuencia, hemos debido hacer importantes compras de ropa blanca, vajilla, etc., para reemplazar lo que se entregó.
