Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translation (Windeatt: 1998) (Windeatt: 1998): Very apprehensively she then stood still, and did not take it, but all her humble manner began to change and she said: ‘For the love of God, don’t bring me any letter or anything in writing that relates to such a matter! And also, dear uncle, I beg you, do have more regard to my position than to his pleasure! What more should I say?
Japanese translation (Sasamoto: 2012) (Sasamoto: 2012): すると彼女はひどく恐ろしげにじっと立ち尽くし、手紙を受け取ろうとせず、慎ましやかな顔つきはすっかり変わり、言った。「後生ですから、そのようなことに触れた書き物であれお手紙であれ持って来ないでください。それに、叔父様、お願い、あのお方の欲望よりわたしの立場のほうにもっと関心をお持ちください！これだけを言っておきます。
Chinese translation (Fang: 1956) (Fang: 1956): すると彼女はひどく恐ろしげにじっと立ち尽くし、手紙を受け取ろうとせず、慎ましやかな顔つきはすっかり変わり、言った。「後生ですから、そのようなことに触れた書き物であれお手紙であれ持って来ないでください。それに、叔父様、お願い、あのお方の欲望よりわたしの立場のほうにもっと関心をお持ちください！これだけを言っておきます。
