"And yet St. John is a good man," said Diana.
“而圣·約翰是個好人，”黛安娜說。
"He is a good and a great man; but he forgets, pitilessly, the feelings and claims of little people, in pursuing his own large views.
“他是一個好人，也是個偉人。可惜他在追求大目標時，忘掉了小人物的情感和要求。
It is better, therefore, for the insignificant to keep out of his way, lest, in his progress, he should trample them down.
因此，微不足道的人還是離他遠一點好，免得他在前進時把他們踩倒了。
Here he comes! I will leave you, Diana."

No doubt he had invoked the help of the Holy Spirit to subdue the anger I had roused in him, and now believed he had forgiven me once more.

For the evening reading before prayers, he selected the twenty-first chapter of Revelation.
禱告前的晚讀，他選了《啟示錄》的第二十一章。
It was at all times pleasant to listen while from his lips fell the words of the Bible:
傾聽《圣經》中的話從他嘴里吐出來始終是一種享受。
never did his fine voice sound at once so sweet and full --
他優美的嗓子是最洪亮又最動聽的，
never did his manner become so impressive in its noble simplicity, as when he delivered the oracles of God:
他的態度之高尚純樸也最令人難忘,他在發表上帝的圣諭時.
