We waited for a while in silence. At length the casket was brought out. Some of the little ones began to cry loudly when they saw the coffin slid into the hearse, and one began to shriek, as though he had only then comprehended that his mistress was dead, and he was seized with such a convulsive fit of sobbing, that they were obliged to carry him away. The procession got slowly into line and set out.

我们静候了一会儿，棺出来了。小孩们见棺移入枢车就哭起来。其中有一个，好像到这时才信先生真死了似的，放声大哭，号叫着不肯停止，人们谨领了他走开。行列徐徐出发，

First came the daughters of the Ritiro della Concezione, dressed in green; then the daughters of Maria, all in white, with a blue ribbon; then the priests; and behind the hearse, the masters and mistresses, the tiny scholars of the upper primary, and all the others; and, at the end of all, the crowd. People came to the windows and to the doors, and on seeing all those boys, and the wreath, they said, "It is a schoolmistress." Even some of the ladies who accompanied the smallest children wept. When the church was reached, the casket was removed from the hearse, and carried to the middle of the nave, in front of the great altar: the mistresses laid their wreaths on it, the children covered it with flowers, and the people all about, with lighted candles in their hands, began to chant the prayers in the vast and gloomy church.

最前面是绿色装束的姑娘们，其次是白装束饰青丝边的姑娘们，再其次是僧侣，这后面是枢车，先生们，二年级的小学生，别的小学生，最后是普通的送葬者。街上的人们从窗口张望，见了花环与小孩说：“是学校的先生呢。”带领了小孩来的贵妇人们也哭着。到了寺院，棺从柩车移出，安放在中堂的大祭坛前面。女先生们把花环放在棺上，小孩们把花覆满棺的周围。在相旁的人都点起蜡烛在薄暗的寺院中开始祈祷。

Then, all of a sudden, when the priest had said the last amen, the candles were extinguished, and all went away in haste, and the mistress was left alone. Poor mistress, who was so kind to me, who had so much patience, who had toiled for so many years! She has left her little books to her scholars, and everything which she possessed, to one an inkstand, to another a little picture; and two days before her death, she said to the headmaster that he was not to allow the smallest of them to go to her funeral, because she did not wish them to cry. She has done good, she has suffered, she is dead! Poor mistress, left alone in that dark church! Farewell! Farewell forever, my kind friend, sad and sweet memory of my infancy!

等僧侣一念出最后的“阿门”，就一齐把烛熄灭走出。女先生独自留在寺院里了！可怜！那样亲切，那样勤劳，那样长久尽过职的先生！据说先生把书籍以及一切遗赠给学生了，有的得着墨水壶，有的得着小画片。听说死前的两天，她曾对校长说，小孩们不直哭泣，不要叫他们参与葬式。先生做了好事，受了苦痛，终于过世了。可怜独自留在那样昏暗的寺院里了！再会，先生！先生在我，是悲哀而爱慕的记忆！
