How can one read 引括めて云えば、in クリスマス・カロル


I came across this paragraph in
[クリスマス・カロル](https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000914/files/4328_8144.html):

>
> 彼女は非常に美しかった。図抜けて美しかった。えくぼのある、吃驚したような、素敵な顔をして接吻されるために造られたかと思われるような――確にその通りでもあるのだが――豊かな小さい口をしていた。頤の辺りには、あらゆる種類の小さな可愛らしい斑点があって、それが笑うと一緒に溶けてしまったものだ。それからどんな可憐な少女の頭にも見られないような、極めて晴れやかな一対の眼を持っていた。
> **引括めて云えば** 、彼女は **気を揉ませるな** とでも云いたいような女であった。しかし世話女房式な、おお、どこまでも世話女房式な女であった。

  1. And I am not sure how to read 引括めて云えば.

When I searched in dictionaries I came across 引っ括る （ひっくくる）. So I thought that
maybe I could read it as ひっくくめて云えば。coming from the verb 引っ括める (I have not been
able to find such verb in dictionaries). Would that be right?

  2. Also I am not sure about な. Is it working as an emphaziser since it is the narrator who is describing the woman?:

彼女は 「気を揉ませるな」とでも云いたい = I want to say that she made worry, you know?

  3. And about 気を揉む. The definition for this verb is: _to worry; to fret; to get anxious​. Idiomatic expression_

The version in English for the sentence:

「引括めて云えば、彼女は **気を揉ませるな** とでも云いたいような女であった。しかし世話女房式な、おお、どこまでも世話女房式な女であった。」

is:

「Although she was what you would have called provoking, you know, but
satisfactory, too. Oh, perfectly satisfactory.」

So when I analyse the sentence, I think that the translator decided to use
気を揉ませる to say that this woman made you worry when you saw (she was provoking,
in the english version).

Would my assumptions be right in the three things I am asking about?

よろしくお願い致します。




First of all, the original English text written by Dickens is this (obtained
from [this page](http://www.gutenberg.org/files/46/46-h/46-h.htm) in Project
Gutenberg):

> **Altogether** she was what you would have called provoking, you know; but
> satisfactory, too. Oh, perfectly satisfactory.

The first word is not _although_ but _altogether_.

引っ括める is
[ひっくるめる](https://jisho.org/word/%E5%BC%95%E3%81%A3%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8B%E3%82%81%E3%82%8B).
ひっくるめて言えば means "in a nutshell", "all in all", "after all", etc.

We don't usually write this verb as 引っ括める today. Kanji usage was not very
standardized in the past. It's still possible to guess the reading if you know
the verb, though.

As for the remaining part... just looking at the Japanese version, it roughly
means "She was a kind of person who might say 'Do not bother me'. But at the
same time, she was a kind of person who loves to take care of her family."
Modern speakers might call something like this _tsundere_ :) (I don't know if
this is a good translation of provoking-yet-satisfactory, but it may not be
that far-fetched.)

More literally:

  * 気を揉む to worry
  * 気を揉ませる to make someone worry
  * 気を揉ませるな Don't make me worry
  * 気を揉ませるなと言いたい to want to say "Don't make me worry"
  * 気を揉ませるなと言いたいような女 a woman who appears as if she wants to say "don't make me worry"
