The night before he left home, happening to see him walking in the garden about sunset, and remembering, as I looked at him, that this man, alienated as he now was, had once saved my life, and that we were near relations, I was moved to make a last attempt to regain his friendship.
La noche antes de marchar le encontré en el jardín, al oscurecer, y recordando que aquel hombre, por muy lejano que ahora se mantuviese respecto a mí, me había salvado la vida en una ocasión y era, además, mi primo, traté de recuperar su amistad.
