EN Between him and his mother was the most perfect sympathy, for secretly the lady was herself a devout disciple of the late and great Myron Bayne, though with the tact so generally and justly admired in her sex (despite the hardy calumniators who insist that it is essentially the same thing as cunning) she had always taken care to conceal her weakness from all eyes but those of him who shared it.
GL Entre el e a súa nai existía a máis perfecta complicidade, pois a señora era en segredo unha devota discípula do finado e gran Myron Bayne, aínda que, co tacto tan xeral e xustamente admirado no sexo feminino (malia eses calumniadores sen piedade que insisten en que é basicamente a mesma cousa cá astucia), sempre tivera coidado de ocultar a súa debilidade ante todos os ollos agás os del, con quen a compartía.
