Late that night--perhaps it might be between eleven and twelve o'clock--ere I retired to my dreary rest, I supplicated God, that, if it seemed good to Him, I might soon be taken from this life, and admitted to that world to come, where there was still hope of rejoining Jane.
Esa noche, entre once y doce, retirado en mi alcoba, supliqué fervientemente a Dios que, si tal era su voluntad, me arrebatara pronto esta vida y me admitiese a la existencia del más allá, donde yo tenía la esperanza de reunirme contigo.
