But to return to my new companion. I was greatly delighted with him, and made it my business to teach him everything that was proper to make him useful, handy, and helpful; but especially to make him speak, and understand me when I spoke; and he was the aptest scholar that ever was; and particularly was so merry, so constantly diligent, and so pleased when he could but understand me, or make me understand him, that it was very pleasant for me to talk to him.
Nagy örömem telt abban, hogy naponta buzgón tanítgattam mindenre, ami hasznos és szükséges lehet számára, különös tekintettel a beszédre és arra, hogy megértse, amit mondok. Ő volt a legértelmesebb diák, akit csak kívánni lehetne, ráadásul nagyon lelkes volt és örömmel töltötte el, ha megértett vagy megértette magát velem.
