Charles from time to time opened his eyes, his mind grew weary, and, sleep coming upon him, he soon fell into a doze wherein, his recent sensations blending with memories, he became conscious of a double self, at once student and married man, lying in his bed as but now, and crossing the operation theatre as of old.
Charlesek, aldian behin, begiak irekitzen zituen; gero, gogoa nekaturik eta logalea bere kasa itzulirik, laster sartzen zen nolabaiteko lozorro batean eta hartan, bere berrikitako sentsazioak oroipenekin nahasten baitziren, bere burua bikoitz sumatzen zuen, aldi berean, ikasle eta ezkondua, bere ohean etzanda arestian bezala, operatuen gela zeharkatzen garai batean bezala.
