I was not reprimanded for leaving my bed; people had something else to think about; no explanation was afforded then to my many questions; but a day or two afterwards I learned that Miss Temple, on returning to her own room at dawn, had found me laid in the little crib; my face against Helen Burns's shoulder, my arms round her neck.
No se me dio explicación, ni contestación alguna a mis muchas preguntas. Pero un día o dos más tarde me enteré de que, al volver Miss Temple á su alcoba, me encontró tendida en la camita, con la cabeza sobre el hombro de Helen y mis brazos rodeando su cuello.
