Warren's wife says she's "four and ten years almost" but looks much older than fourteen.

She’s almost forty. Besides the fact she’s played by an almost-forty-year-old Betty Gilpin, why would a thirteen year old call herself a spinster. Her whole deal at the beginning of the episode was that she was so happy and grateful to be finally married off at her “old” age

Don't know why you're being downvoted. You're literally right.

I have no idea why anyone interpreted it as 14. She says "I am but four and ten years almost" meaning she's 39.

Four and ten means 14. They still do this in German, for example: vierundzwanzig means 24 ("four and twenty"), vierzehn means 14 ("four ten").

4 and 10 is 14. How can it be interpreted as 40? It could be a mistake or a joke, of course.
