Audiobook Dictation: “She was a very nice girl…”

She was a very nice girl and not at all forward, and I cannot understand or excuse her conduct.

Ia gadis yang sangat baik dan sama sekali tidak lancang, dan aku tak bisa memahami atau memaafkan tingkah lakunya.

Even then he tried to be strong.

Bahkan saat itu ia berusaha tegar.

"Don't!" he said tenderly, "don't worry.

"Jangan!" katanya lembut, "jangan khawatir.

It's all right--I was a fool. Pull yourself together--there's someone coming."

Tidak apa-apa — aku yang bodoh. Tenangkan dirimu — ada orang datang."

"I don't care," she said, for the touch of his cheek, pressed against her hair, told her all that she wanted to know.

"Aku tak peduli," katanya, sebab sentuhan pipi lelaki itu yang menempel di rambutnya telah memberitahunya semua yang ingin ia ketahui.

"Let them come, I don't care!

Biar saja mereka datang, aku tak peduli!

Oh, how could you be so silly and horrid?

Oh, bagaimana kau bisa begitu konyol dan menyebalkan?

Oh, thank God, thank God!

Oh, syukurlah, syukurlah!

Oh, how could you?"

Oh, kenapa kau tega?"

Of course, a really honourable young man would have got out of the situation somehow.

Tentu saja, pemuda yang benar-benar terhormat pasti sudah mencari cara untuk keluar dari situasi itu.
