For Törless, however, this was not enough time to make the long journey home, so he had hoped at least that his parents would visit him, but urgent business kept his father in the ministry, and his mother was unwell, and did not feel up to the exertions of the journey on her own.
Törlessentzat, hala ere, egun gutxi ziren etxerako bide luzea egin ahal izateko; horregatik espero zuen gurasoek bisitatuko zutela, baina aitak ministerioan gelditu behar izan zuen, premiazko eginbeharren kariaz, eta amak, gaixorik sentitzen baitzen, ez zion bidaiaren arriskuari bakarrik aurre egin nahi.
