"What is the reason," said they, "that you, who are so great a man, should build such a little box as this for your dwelling house?"
"Indeed, there may be little reason," said he, "but small as the place is, I will think myself happy if I can fill even it with true friends."
*******************
"even" in the second sentence, is it correct?
I can fiil even it.... sounds incorrect to me....
If it's not correct, what is the correct expression?
