The mayor of the village, in delivering the prize to the author of it, made a warm speech in which he said that it was by far the most "eloquent" thing he had ever listened to, and that Daniel Webster himself might well be proud of it.
El batlle del poblet, en remetre el premi a l'autora, féu un discurs abrandat, en el qual digué que era de molt la cosa «més eloqüent que mai hagués sentit, i que el mateix Daniel Webster hauria pogut enorgullir-se'n».
