Ｋは自分の望むやうな口を程なく探し出しました。然し時間を惜む彼にとつて、此仕事が何の位辛かつたかは想像する迄もない事です。彼は今迄通り勉強の手をちつとも緩めずに、新らしい荷を脊負つて猛進したのです。私は彼の健康を氣遣ひました。然し剛氣な彼は笑ふ丈で、少しも私の注意に取合ひませんでした。
translation
"K found the mouth he wanted in no time." However, it is hard to imagine how hard this job must have been for him, who does not want much time. As always, he never let up in his studies and pushed forward with a new load on his back. I cared for his health. However, the tough-minded man did nothing but laugh and did not pay any attention to me.
