so let us say that it was laudable of Tarrou and others to have chosen to show that two and two make four rather than otherwise, but let us also say that they shared this good impulse with the schoolmaster and with all those who think as he does-who are more numerous than people think, to the credit of humanity; at least, that is the narrator's view.
Esan dezagun beraz, goraipatzekoa dela Tarrouk eta besteek bi gehi bi berdin lau dela frogatzen saiatu izana eta ez alderantzizkoa, baina esan dezagun ere borondate on horrek irakaslearenarekin bat egiten zuela, irakaslearen bihotz bera duten guztiekin bat egiten zuen modura eta, gizonaren ohorez, uste dugun baino gehiago direla; hauxe da behintzat narratzaileak pentsatzen duena.
