"I admire the activity of your benevolence," observed Mary, "but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."
"Mira egiten diot zure ongiletasunaren biziari," egin zuen Maryk ohar, "baina arrazoimenak gidatu beharko luke sentimenduek eragindako joera oro; eta, nire aburuz, lanak beti izan beharko luke lortu gura den helburuaren neurriko".
