I stopped: I could not trust myself to entertain, much less to express, the thought that rushed upon me--that embodied itself,--that, in a second, stood out a strong, solid probability. Circumstances knit themselves, fitted themselves, shot into order: the chain that had been lying hitherto a formless lump of links was drawn out straight,--every ring was perfect, the connection complete.
Me interrumpí. No acertaba a expresar el pensamiento que se me ocurría y que, sin embargo, representaba una evidente probabilidad, ya que formaba el resultado lógico de una cadena de circunstancias concurrentes.
