Det var et vinnende uttrykk i hennes ansikt, en anelse av et smil, men dog undertrykt av dette stille, bevisste alvor, som ganske unge og undertrykte antar i eldres selskap og som synes å bety en hemmelighet, det kan være barnlig viten om en skjult lykke, en religiøs grepethet eller en dulgt elskov, strengheten i alvoret er alltid gjennomskinnelig av ungdommens lysende uskyld.

There was a winning expression on her face, the hint of a smile, but suppressed by that quiet, conscious seriousness which very young and subjugated beings assume in the presence of their elders, and which seems to signify a secret, whether it be childlike knowledge of a hidden happiness, religious emotion, or a secret love, the severity of this seriousness is always, as it were, transparent in the shining innocence of youth.
