"And what was most frightful," continued Milady, her voice altered, as if she still experienced the same agony as at that awful minute, "was that at this time I retained a consciousness of the danger that threatened me; was that my soul, if I may say so, waked in my sleeping body; was that I saw, that I heard. It is true that all was like a dream, but it was not the less frightful.
Y lo que era más horroroso continuó Milady con la voz alterada como si hubiera experimentado aún la misma angustia que en aquel momento terrible es que aquella vez yo tenía conciencia del peligro que me amenazaba; es que mi alma, puedo decirlo, velaba en mi cuerpo adormecido; es que yo veía, es que oía; es cierto que todo aquello era como un sueño, pero no por ello menos espantoso.
