Egor listened very attentively and evidently quite understood Levin, but in confirmation of it remarked, quite unexpectedly to Levin, that when he was in the service of nice people he was always satisfied with his masters and that he was satisfied with his present master although he was a Frenchman.
Egor ascoltava con attenzione ed evidentemente aveva capito in pieno il pensiero di Levin, ma per confermarlo uscì nell’osservazione, inattesa per Levin, che, quando viveva dai suoi buoni signori, era stato sempre contento di loro, e ora era pienamente contento del suo padrone sebbene fosse un francese.
