I bethought myself to go upstairs and see how the dying woman sped, who lay there almost unheeded: the very servants paid her but a remittent attention: the hired nurse, being little looked after, would slip out of the room whenever she could. Bessie was faithful; but she had her own family to mind, and could only come occasionally to the hall.
La enfermera se marchaba del cuarto en cuanto podía, y Bessie, aunque muy fiel, tenía bastante quehacer con su propia familia y rara vez podía dirigirse a la casa.
