Bessie Lee must, I think, have been a girl of good natural capacity, for she was smart in all she did, and had a remarkable knack of narrative; so, at least, I judge from the impression made on me by her nursery tales.
Bessie Lee debía ser, si mi memoria no me engaña, una muchacha inteligente, porque era muy ingeniosa para todo y tenía grandes dotes de narradora. Al menos así la recuerdo yo a través de los cuentos que nos relataba.
