Question

Even when we finally retired for the night, the inevitable Miss Gryce was still my companion: we had only a short end of candle in our candlestick, and I dreaded lest she should talk till it was all burnt out; fortunately, however, the heavy supper she had eaten produced a soporific effect: she was already snoring before I had finished undressing.

Accepted Answer

Aznap rajtam volt a sor, hogy az esti imát elmondjam; föl kellett kísérnem a növendékeket a hálóterembe, csak azután ülhettem le a többi tanítónővel vacsorázni. És amikor végre visszavonulhattam a szobámba, Gryce kisasszonytól még akkor sem szabadulhattam.
