Miss Alan was always thus being charitable against her better judgement. A delicate pathos perfumed her disconnected remarks, giving them unexpected beauty, just as in the decaying autumn woods there sometimes rise odours reminiscent of spring.

艾伦小姐总是因此而对她更好的判断力表现出仁慈。一种微妙的悲怆使她断断续续的话语散发出芬芳，赋予它们意想不到的美感，就像在腐烂的秋天的树林中，有时会升起让人想起春天的气味。
