text_original: This long legged hobadahoy was Richard Thornton, the only child of the Signora' s pretty younger sister and a dashing cavalry officer, who had married a penniless and obscure girl for the love of her pretty face, and had died within a couple of years of his marriage, leaving his widow to drag out the remnant of a fretful, help  less life in dependence upon her sister. The Signora had been used to carrying other people's burthens from a very early age.
