Besides the pleasure of talking to him, I had a singular satisfaction in the fellow himself: his simple, unfeigned honesty appeared to me more and more every day, and I began really to love the creature; and on his side I believe he loved me more than it was possible for him ever to love anything before.
Aparte del placer que me provocaba hablar con él,`sentía una particular simpatía por el chico. Su honestidad no fingida se mostraba más claramente cada día y llegué a sentir un verdadero cariño hacia él.
