"Laas nag, of liewer vanoggend, was alles buite my beheer," en vanaand is ek uitgenooi vir 'n laat aandete by Rengmann, die dokter wat my hier behandel, "maar later sal ek probeer om na jou te sluip"
"Last night, or rather this morning, things were beyond my control, and this evening lma y be invited to a late dinner by Rengmann, the doctor who's been treating me here, but later on I will try to steal away to you."
