| Back | I imagined myself only to be regretting my loss, and thinking how to repair it; but when my reflections were concluded, and I looked up and found that the afternoon was gone, and evening far advanced, another discovery dawned on me, namely, that in the interval I had undergone a transforming process; that my mind had put off all it had borrowed of Miss Temple--or rather that she had taken with her the serene atmosphere I had been breathing in her vicinity--and that now I was left in my natural element, and beginning to feel the stirring of old emotions. It did not seem as if a prop were withdrawn, but rather as if a motive were gone: it was not the power to be tranquil which had failed me, but the reason for tranquillity was no more. |

| Front | Al principio creí que sólo me hallaba triste por la pérdida de mi amiga. Pero al cabo de mis reflexiones llegué a otro descubrimiento, y era el de que, desaparecida Miss Temple y, con ella, la atmósfera de serenidad que la rodeaba y que yo asimilara, se esfumaban también todos los pensamientos y todas las inclinaciones que el contacto con ella me produjeran, y volvía a sentirme en mi elemento natural y a experimentar las antiguas emociones. |
