The impulse of gratitude swelled my heart, and I knelt down at the bedside, and offered up thanks where thanks were due; not forgetting, ere I rose, to implore aid on my further path, and the power of meriting the kindness which seemed so frankly offered me before it was earned.
Al sentirme, tras un día de fatiga corporal e inquietud moral, llegada felizmente a puerto de refugio, un impulso de gratitud inflamó mi corazón. Me arrodillé a los pies del lecho, di gracias a Dios y le rogué que me ayudase en mi camino y me permitiese corresponder a la bondad con que era acogida desde el principio en aquella casa.
