Le quiero, si a mano viene, como hijo... Socórrale la señora, por ser de la casta que es; colóqueme a mí, y yo lo criaré.

I love him, maybe, like a son... You can help him, given your social status; leave him with me and I'll raise him."

I love him, even if he was given to me, like a son... Let the lady help, for she belongs to her rank; let her give me a position, and I will raise him."

Thanks Beba.

I will rephrase it so that it is clearer: Lo quiero, quizá, como hijo... Socórrale usted, dado su estatus social; déjelo conmigo y yo lo criaré.

You must be right for the first part. But I don't think he agrees to let her take him in. I certainly should add "him" "Let the lady help him, given her social standing/ rank...
I'll wait for Beba, otherwise I might have to alter the sentence again.
What does "si a mano viene," mean here ? I want him as a son, even if I didn't ask for him... ?
venir a alguien a la mano, o a las manos, algo
locs. verbs. Lograrlo sin solicitarlo.
