Question

I felt glad as the road shortened before me: so glad that I stopped once to ask myself what that joy meant: and to remind reason that it was not to my home I was going, or to a permanent resting-place, or to a place where fond friends looked out for me and waited my arrival.

Accepted Answer

A medida que iba caminando me sentía más contenta, hasta el punto de que más de una vez me detuve para preguntarme el motivo de tal alegría, ya que, en realidad, no me dirigía a mi casa ni a un lugar donde me aguardasen con impaciencia amigos cariñosos.
