Having given some further directions, and intimates that he should call again the next day, he departed; to my grief: I felt so sheltered and befriended while he sat in the chair near my pillow; and as he closed the door after him, all the room darkened and my heart again sank: inexpressible sadness weighed it down.
Mi sentivo così ben protetta e così curata mentre egli stava seduto al mio capezzale! Così, quando la porta si chiuse dietro a lui, mi parve che tutto si oscurasse; il mio cuore fu depresso di nuovo da una inesprimibile tristezza.
