It was now that I began sensibly to feel how much more happy this life I now led was, with all its miserable circumstances, than the wicked, cursed, abominable life I led all the past part of my days; and now I changed both my sorrows and my joys; my very desires altered, my affections changed their gusts, and my delights were perfectly new from what they were at my first coming, or, indeed, for the two years past.
Ekkor kezdtem igazán átérezni, hogy minden nyomorúságom ellenére mennyivel boldogabban viselem itt az életet, mint azt a bűnös, átkos magatartást, amely múltbéli napjaim jellemzője volt. Visszájára fordultak azok a dolgok, amelyeket korábban bántam vagy élveztem.
