Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And after supper they got up, well content, and at heart full of life and gaiety; and he was a lucky man who could best contrive to please her, or who made her laugh: he sang; she played; he told the tale of Wade. But at last, as everything comes to an end, she took her leave and must be going home.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 晩餐は終わり、彼らは、まったく満ち足りて、元気一杯、喜び一杯になって、席から立ち上がった。彼は彼女を最も巧みに楽しませることができ、彼女を笑わせた男として幸せだった。彼は歌い、彼女は戯れ、彼はウェードの話を語った。しかしとうとう、何事も終わりがあるので彼女はいとまごいをして、家に帰らねばならなくなった。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 餐后，他们离座，心中十分喜悦，谁能使她嘻笑开颜的就是幸福中人。他唱着；她弹着；她又讲着韦德的故事。可是凡事皆有终局，欢聚之后，她想回家了，就起身告辞。
