Formerly, when I was told to consider him wise, I kept trying to, and thought I was stupid myself because I was unable to perceive his wisdom; but as soon as I said to myself, he's stupid (only in a whisper of course), it all became quite clear! Don't you think so?'
Прежде, когда мне велели находить его умным, я все искала и находила, что я сама глупа, не видя его ума; а как только я сказала: он глуп, но шепотом, -- все так ясно стало, не правда ли?
