All this time the poor man was in as great an ecstasy as I, only not under any surprise as I was; and he said a thousand kind and tender things to me, to compose and bring me to myself; but such was the flood of joy in my breast, that it put all my spirits into confusion: at last it broke out into tears, and in a little while after I recovered my speech; I then took my turn, and embraced him as my deliverer, and we rejoiced together.
Il me disait mille bonnes et tendres choses pour me calmer et rappeler mes sens. Mais il y avait un tel gonflement de joie dans ma poitrine, que mes esprits étaient plongés dans la confusion; enfin il débonda par des larmes, et peu après je recouvrai la parole.
