I was actually permitting myself to experience a sickening sense of disappointment; but rallying my wits, and recollecting my principles, I at once called my sensations to order; and it was wonderful how I got over the temporary blunder--how I cleared up the mistake of supposing Mr. Rochester's movements a matter in which I had any cause to take a vital interest.
Avevo subito una dolorosa delusione. Ma facendo appello alle mie forze e rammentandomi i miei principii, mi studiai di dar ordine alle mie sensazioni, e ben presto riuscii a dominare l'errore passeggiero e a convincermi che non mi doveva importar nulla di ciò che faceva il signor Rochester.
