"Ketika dia memikirkannya, agak heran dia, bahwa dia membiarkan gadis itu dengan biolanya pergi. Sekarang, tentu saja, dia melihat bahwa usulannya yang egois itu tidak relevan. Yang ia butuhkan hanyalah kepastian cintanya, dan kepastiannya bahwa tidak ada tergesa-gesa ketika seumur hidup terbentang di depan mereka. Cinta dan kesabaran - jika saja dia memiliki keduanya sekaligus - pasti akan melihat mereka berdua."

When he thought of her, it rather amazed him, that he had let that girl with her violin go. Now, of course, he saw that her self-effacing proposal was quite irrelevant. All she had needed was the certainty of his love, and his reassurance that there was no hurry when a lifetime lay ahead of them. Love and patience- if only he had had them both at once- would surely have seen them both through.
