I have not yet alluded to the visits of Mr. Brocklehurst; and indeed that gentleman was from home during the greater part of the first month after my arrival; perhaps prolonging his stay with his friend the archdeacon: his absence was a relief to me.
Je n'ai pas encore parlé des visites de M. Brockelhurst: il fut absent une partie du premier mois; il avait peut-être prolongé son séjour chez son ami l'archidiacre.
