| Back | The other members of the household, viz., John and his wife, Leah the housemaid, and Sophie the French nurse, were decent people; but in no respect remarkable; with Sophie I used to talk French, and sometimes I asked her questions about her native country; but she was not of a descriptive or narrative turn, and generally gave such vapid and confused answers as were calculated rather to check than encourage inquiry. |

| Front | Los demás habitantes de la casa: John y su mujer, Leah la doncella y Sophie la niñera, eran gentes corrientes. A veces, yo hablaba en francés con Sophie y le hacía preguntas sobre asuntos referentes a su país; pero ella tenía muy escasas dotes de narradora y sus respuestas más que animarme a continuar preguntándole, parecían dichas adrede para desalentarme y confundirme. |
