Act V Scene I
Julia: Perhaps your fortune may be forfeited by this unhappy act. I know not whether 'tis so ___but sure that alone can never make us unhappy"
Explanation.
Perhaps our taking this step will mean losing your fortune completely. I do not know whether such will be the consequence of our taking this step. But surely that by itself can never make us unhappy.
In spite of reading the explanation I couldn't grip the meaning of the text. Can anyone explain it, specially the last sentence, in more approachable words?

I think it is understandable if a few words are updated for you:
Perhaps your fortune may be lost by this unhappy act.—I do not know whether that is true— but surely that alone can never make us unhappy.— The little I have will be sufficient to support us...

Thanks Sir for so prompt reply. Will you explain a little bit more? What alone can never make them unhappy?
