Twenty times I was on the point of sending to get the letter back, but every time I said to myself: "Perhaps she will have got it already, and it would look as if I have repented of sending it."
Vingt fois je fus sur le point de renvoyer chercher cette lettre, mais je me disais toujours: --On la lui a peut-être déjà remise, et j'aurais l'air de me repentir.
