      Poste li pentris per kortuŝantaj paroloj la karakteron iom romanan de la kulpigito, lin prezentis kiel homon kapablan oferi al la bonfamo de l' amatino sian honoron kaj eĉ sian vivon, riproĉis per indignaj vortoj tiun virinon sufiĉe malkuraĝan por akcepti tian oferon, kaj per oratora gesto vastega kaj patosa montrante Herbenon, kiu ploregis.
      Later he painted with heartfelt words the somewhat romantic character of the accused, presented him as a human capable of sacrificing his honor and even life to the good name of his beloved, reproached with indignant words that woman cowardly enough to accept that sacrifice, and reproached her with a wide, impassioned oratory gesture pointing at Herbeno, who bawled.

      which are distressingly lame
      After our high-flying fantasy.
