translation.ca: Tom no pogué alliberar-se'n. Cada referencia a l'assassinat li esgarrifava el cor, perque la seva consciéncia contorbada i les seves temences gairebé el persuadien que aquelles observacions eren dites al seu devora com a provatures. No sabia com era que ell hagués pogut infondre sospites de saber cap cosa de l'assassinat, pero tanmateix no podia romandre tranquil en mig d'aquell parloteig.
translation.en: Every reference to the murder sent a shudder to his heart, for his troubled conscience and fears almost persuaded him that these remarks were put forth in his hearing as "feelers"; he did not see how he could be suspected of knowing anything about the murder, but still he could not be comfortable in the midst of this gossip.
