Ｋの話が一通り濟んだ時、私は何とも云ふ事が出來ませんでした。此方も彼の前に同じ意味の自白をしたものだらうか、夫とも打ち明けずにゐる方が得策だらうか、私はそんな利害を考へて默つてゐたのではありません。たゞ何事も云へなかつたのです。又云ふ氣にもならなかつたのです。
translation
By the time K's story was over, I was at a loss for words. I wondered if I had made the same confession before him, or if it would have been better if I had not confessed to my husband. I just couldn't say anything. I couldn't bring myself to say it again.
