I was a little surprised at first, but as I ventured to satisfy myself that he could not know me, I was not only perfectly easy, but had a great mind to see him, if it was possible to so do without his seeing me.
Je fus un peu surprise d'abord, mais comme je m'aventurais à me persuader qu'il ne pouvait point me reconnaître, non seulement je me sentis parfaitement tranquille, mais j'eus grande envie de le voir, si c'était possible, sans qu'il me vît.
