As the service proceeded, the clergyman drew such pictures of the graces, the winning ways, and the rare promise of the lost lads that every soul there, thinking he recognized these pictures, felt a pang in remembering that he had persistently blinded himself to them always before, and had as persistently seen only faults and flaws in the poor boys.
Anant continuant el servei religiós, el clergue féu tals pintures de les gracies, les maneres captivadores i les promeses excepcionals dels minyons perduts, que tota anima present, creient que reconeixia aquestes imatges, sentí una punyida de dolor en recordar que persistentment havia estat sempre orba davant elles, i, persistentment, no havia vist sinó defectes i tares en els pobres minyons.
