Miss Gryce snored at last; she was a heavy Welshwoman, and till now her habitual nasal strains had never been regarded by me in any other light than as a nuisance; to-night I hailed the first deep notes with satisfaction; I was debarrassed of interruption; my half-effaced thought instantly revived.
La signorina Gryce incominciò finalmente a russare; era una forte gallese e fino a quel momento quella musica mi era stata noiosa, ma quella sera le prime note furono accolte da me con piacere; ero al sicuro da ogni interruzione e i miei pensieri, quasi svaniti, si rianimarono subito.
