Elle avait eu l’esprit d’être malade le jour des réjouissances générales, qui fut aussi celui de la fuite du prisonnier, comme le lecteur s’en souvient peut-être ; elle fut malade aussi le lendemain, et, en un mot, sut si bien se conduire, qu’à l’exception du geôlier Grillo, chargé spécialement de la garde de Fabrice, personne n’eut de soupçons sur sa complicité, et Grillo se tut.
She had had the sense to be ill on the day of the general rejoicings, which was also that of the prisoner's flight, as the reader may perhaps remember; she was ill also on the following day, and, in a word, managed things so well that, with the exception of Grillo, whose special duty it was to look after Fabrizio, no one had any suspicion of her complicity, and Grillo held his tongue.
