In the garden they came upon a man weeding a path, and without any longer considering that the man saw her tear-stained eyes and his excited face, or that they looked like people running away from some calamity, they went on with rapid feet, feeling that they must speak out and convince each other, must be alone together, and thereby both escape from the torment both were experiencing.
Sin tener en cuenta ya que el jardinero le veía, que ella lloraba y él estaba conmovido y los dos tenían aspecto de sufrir una gran desgracia, siguieron adelante, rápidos. Sólo pensaban en que necesitaban darse explicaciones, de disuadirse mutuamente y de este modo librarse del martirio que ambos experimentaban.
