母は其時の私の言葉を信じてゐた。其時の私は先生から屹度返事があると母に保證した。然し父や母の希望するやうな返事が來るとは、其時の私も丸で期待しなかつた。私は心得があつて母を欺むいたと同じ結果に陷つた。
translation
My mother believed what I said at that time. At that time, I assured my mother that I would receive frequent responses from Sensei. At that time, however, I did not expect the kind of reply that my father and mother had hoped for. I had the same result as having deceived my mother with knowledge.
