Thanks.

Hi Marina, I have just read through the text again, and your original translation is correct, referring back to what he had said earlier about not being particularly upset by the announcement of his father's death (unit 124)

OK. Thanks.
For me, though, this corresponds to "Je ne dis pas que..." . Is there a way to show that he said it, or didn't say that, earlier on

Suggestion Marina - one would probably rather say in English:
. . . I can't say that it particularly saddened me.
