However, I mentally shake hands with you for your answer, despite its inaccuracy; and as much for the manner in which it was said, as for the substance of the speech; the manner was frank and sincere; one does not often see such a manner: no, on the contrary, affectation, or coldness, or stupid, coarse-minded misapprehension of one's meaning are the usual rewards of candour.
No obstante, mentalmente coincido con su contestación, a pesar de su inexactitud, tanto por el modo de decirlo como por la idea que entraña. El modo ha sido franco y sincero, cosa poco corriente.
