Translate the following passage into English. Compare it with the original.
- Оставляю вас на попечении Ханны и под покровительством мистера Лоренса. Наша Ханна сама преданность, а мистер Лоренс будет заботиться о вас не меньше, чем о собственном внуке. Словом, мне нечего о вас тревожиться. Хочу только, чтобы вы правильно отнеслись к беде, которая свалилась на нас. Не вздумайте горевать или сетовать на судьбу. Это одинаково глупо и никому еще не приносило облегчения. Не надейтесь, что найдете утешение в лености или забвении. Трудитесь, как всегда. Сейчас работа - единственное наше спасение. И даже в самом худшем случае память об отце всегда будет с вами.

They did not forget their motto, but hoping and keeping busy seemed to grow easier, and after such tremendous exertions, they felt that Endeavor deserved a holiday, and gave it a good many.
