He did not leave for Cambridge the next day, as he had said he would. He deferred his departure a whole week, and during that time he made me feel what severe punishment a good yet stern, a conscientious yet implacable man can inflict on one who has offended him.
Non partì per Cambridge il giorno seguente; rimase una settimana e in quel tempo mi fece sentire quale dura punizione poteva infliggere un uomo buono, ma duro, coscienzioso, ma implacabile, quando si credeva offeso.
