Although Meldolesi had done all he could for me, and had even, quite against the rules, managed to question me himself, in spite of this I hadn't managed to get anything like the marks that usually appeared in my school report. Even in literary subjects I ought to have done very much better.
Nahiz eta Meldolesi jauna nire alde dexente saiatu-niri zegokidan galdeketa berarekin egitea ere lortu zuen, arau guztien kontra-, ia inoiz ez nintzen agertu nire nota-liburuskako literatur ikasgaiak apaintzen zituzten zortzi eta bederatzi ugarien altueran.
