Yuan se maravilló de ver sus pequeños ojos, tan tranquilos hasta entonces, brillar con un chisporroteo rápido, y su plácida cara conmovida. Pero era demasiado joven para pensar mucho tiempo en alguien que no fuera él mismo. La placidez de las palabras de la señora se unió a la serenidad de aquella casa, y Yuan dijo con vehemencia: —Si me pudiera quedar aquí durante algún tiempo, hasta ver qué debo hacer… —Claro que te quedarás —respondió afectuosamente la señora—.
