話してゐるうちに、私は色々の知識を奥さんから得たやうな氣がしました。然しそれがために、私は機會を逸したと同樣の結果に陷いつてしまひました。私は自分に就いて、ついに一言も口を開く事が出來ませんでした。私は好い加減な所で話を切り上げて、自分の室へ歸らうとしました。
translation
As we talked, I felt that I had gained a lot of knowledge from her. But because of that, I ended up with the same result as if I had missed my chance. I couldn't say a single word about myself. I cut the conversation off at the wrong place and started to go back to my room.
