Suppose he had had that passion, and had gone to Sir William Bradshaw, a great doctor yet to her obscurely evil, without sex or lust, extremely polite to women, but capable of some indescribable outrage--forcing your soul, that was it--if this young man had gone to him, and Sir William had impressed him, like that, with his power, might he not then have said (indeed she felt it now), Life is made intolerable; they make life intolerable, men like that?

Supongamos que él hubiera tenido ese impulso y hubiera acudido a sir William Bradshaw, un gran médico que, sin embargo, le resultaba oscuramente malvado, sin sexo ni lujuria, extremadamente educado con las mujeres, pero capaz de cometer algún tipo de atrocidad indescriptible (forzar tu alma, eso era); si este joven hubiera acudido a él y sir William le hubiera impresionado así, con su poder, ¿no habría dicho entonces (de hecho, ella lo sentía ahora): 'La vida se vuelve intolerable; ¿hombres como ese hacen la vida intolerable?.'
