prodigalize

Can i not , like pasta , malibran , grisi , acquire for myself what you would never have given me , whatever might have been your fortune , a hundred or a hundred and fifty thousand livres per annum , for which i shall be indebted to no one but myself ; and which , instead of being given as you gave me those poor twelve thousand francs , with sour looks and reproaches for my prodigality , will be accompanied with acclamations , with bravos , and with flowers 譯注那樣,憑我自己的能力去獲得您永遠不會給我的一切嗎?當您一年給我那可憐的一萬二千法郎零用錢的時候,你總是用不高興的臉色,還要責備我浪費,那時,我自己一年就可以賺十萬或十五萬里弗,拿到那筆錢,我不必感激旁人,只要感激自己就行了,而且那些錢還會伴隨著喝采歡呼和鮮花一同來。
