The fact was, I had other things to think about; within the last few months feelings had been stirred in me so much more potent than any they could raise--pains and pleasures so much more acute and exquisite had been excited than any it was in their power to inflict or bestow--that their airs gave me no concern either for good or bad.
Yo tenía otras cosas en qué pensar, placeres y dolores mucho mayores que experimentar y sufrir -sobre todo desde los últimos meses- y ellas no podían producirme ninguna impresión semejante, cualesquiera que fuesen sus propósitos en bien o en mal.
