'But where is the use of going on,' I asked, 'when you are probably preparing some iron blow of contradiction, or forging a fresh chain to fetter your heart?'
- Но к чему продолжать, - спросила я, - когда вы, вероятно, уже готовите ответный удар, намереваясь сокрушить меня своими возражениями, или куете новую цепь, чтобы заковать свое сердце?
