He did not leave for Cambridge the next day, as he had said he would. He deferred his departure a whole week, and during that time he made me feel what severe punishment a good yet stern, a conscientious yet implacable man can inflict on one who has offended him.
Il ne partit pas pour Cambridge le jour suivant, ainsi qu'il l'avait dit; il resta une semaine entière, et, pendant ce temps, il me fit sentir quelle dure punition pouvait infliger un homme bon mais sévère, consciencieux mais implacable quand on l'avait offensé.
