I smiled at him, and told him that men in our circumstances were past the operation of fear; that seeing almost every condition that could be was better than that which we were supposed to be in, we ought to expect that the consequence, whether death or life, would be sure to be a deliverance.
Le sonreí diciéndole que en nuestras circunstancias debíamos superar el miedo y, pues, como cualquier situación sería mejor que esta en la que nos encontrábamos, debíamos esperar que el resultado de todo esto fuera la liberación, tanto si vivíamos como si moríamos.
