your own most pregnant and vouchsafed ear

pregnant
6 obsolete : inclined, disposed <your own most pregnant and vouchsafed ear — Shakespeare>

vouchsafe
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vouchsafe

'vouchsafed' is used as an adjective in that Shakespearean sentence. I think it means 'granting' here, 'your own most inclined and granting ear'.

[Mister Micawber]

No; 'granted'.

My matter hath no voice, lady, but to your own most pregnant and vouchsafed ear = I have a secret to tell you, lady, if you'd like to hear it.

Thanks, Mr Micawber. But I have a few more questions.

'My matter has no voice', I can infer its meaning and it exactly means what you have already suggested. But how would this part "but to your own most pregnant and vouchsafed ear" mean "if you'd like to hear it"? Please help me to decipher it. Thanks.

[Mister Micawber]

but to your own most inclined and granted ear' = if you'd like to hear

I'm sorry for bothering you once again. What does the expression "inclined and granted ear" mean?

[Mister Micawber]

We've gone in a circle. You started with that answer in your first post.

I did. I understand what individual words mean but not clearly as a whole. So please guide.

[Mister Micawber]

OK:

(1) inclined and (2) granted (3) ear = (1) willing and (2) ready to (3) listen

Is that clear?
