I was stronger than ever in those tremendous practical resolutions that I felt the crisis required. I continued to walk extremely fast, and to have a general idea that I was getting on. I made it a rule to take as much out of myself as I possibly could, in my way of doing everything to which I applied my energies. I made a perfect victim of myself. I even entertained some idea of putting myself on a vegetable diet, vaguely conceiving that, in becoming a graminivorous animal, I should sacrifice to Dora.

He solemnly conjured me, I remember, to take warning by his fate; and to observe that if a man had twenty pounds a-year for his income, and spent nineteen pounds nineteen shillings and sixpence, he would be happy, but that if he spent twenty pounds one he would be miserable.

After laying his head on the desk for a little while, he would cheer up, somehow, begin to laugh again, and draw skeletons all over his slate, before his eyes were dry. I used at first to wonder what comfort Traddles found in drawing skeletons; and for some time looked upon him as a sort of hermit, who reminded himself by those symbols of mortality that caning couldn't last for ever. But I believe he only did it because they were easy, and didn't want any features

From that blessed little room, Roderick Random, Peregrine Pickle, Humphrey Clinker, Tom Jones, the Vicar of Wakefield, Don Quixote, Gil Blas, and Robinson Crusoe, came out, a glorious host, to keep me company. They kept alive my fancy, and my hope of something beyond that place and time, - they, and the Arabian Nights, and the Tales of the Genii, - and did me no harm; for whatever harm was in some of them was not there for me; I knew nothing of it.

Твой выбор был свободен, – тут, мне показалось, ее лицо на секунду омрачилось, – и ты избрал очаровательное создание с любящим сердцем. Твой долг, да и радость для тебя, я уверена, – я совсем не собираюсь читать лекцию! – ценить ее (ведь ты ее сам выбрал) за качества, которые у нее есть, а не за те, которых у нее нет. Постарайся, если сможешь, развить в ней качества, каких ей не хватает. А если не сможешь, мое дитя, – она потерла нос, – ну что ж, ты должен обходиться и без них. Но помни, мой дорогой, ваше будущее только в руках вас обоих. Никто вам помочь не может, полагайтесь только на себя. Это и есть брак, Трот.

– Вам кажется, он стар? – удивилась Дора. – Ох, как странно! Джип постарел!
– Пока мы живем, моя крошка, эта болезнь – удел всех нас, – ласково сказала бабушка.
