My pupil was a lively child, who had been spoilt and indulged, and therefore was sometimes wayward; but as she was committed entirely to my care, and no injudicious interference from any quarter ever thwarted my plans for her improvement, she soon forgot her little freaks, and became obedient and teachable.
Mi discípula era una niña muy viva que, por estar muy mimada, tenía a veces caprichos y antojos; pero como se hallaba enteramente confiada a mi cuidado, sin ajenas intromisiones, pronto rectificó sus defectillos y se hizo obediente y tratable.
