Question

The clock struck eight. Had it been ten, Elinor would have been convinced that at that moment she heard a carriage driving up to the house; and so strong was the persuasion that she DID, in spite of the ALMOST impossibility of their being already come, that she moved into the adjoining dressing-closet and opened a window shutter, to be satisfied of the truth.

Accepted Answer

Si hubieran sido las diez, Elinor habría estado segura de que en ese momento escuchaba un carruaje acercándose a la casa; y fue tan grande su seguridad de haberlo escuchado, a pesar de que era casi imposible que ya hubieran llegado, que se dirigió al saloncito junto a la pieza y abrió una celosía para constatar la verdad.
