      Konstante atentante la malgrandan formulon de altestimo, kaj ĉiun devon de mia rango, mi povis konversacii kun li sen malagrabla ĝeno pri argumentoj kaj tio distris nin ambaǔ.
      Retaining every minute form of respect, every propriety of my station, I could still meet him in argument without fear or uneasy restraint; this suited both him and me.
