Question

Elinor's curiosity to see Mrs. Ferrars was satisfied.-- She had found in her every thing that could tend to make a farther connection between the families undesirable.-- She had seen enough of her pride, her meanness, and her determined prejudice against herself, to comprehend all the difficulties that must have perplexed the engagement, and retarded the marriage, of Edward and herself, had he been otherwise free;--and she had seen almost enough to be thankful for her OWN sake, that one greater obstacle preserved her from suffering under any other of Mrs. Ferrars's creation, preserved her from all dependence upon her caprice, or any solicitude for her good opinion.

Accepted Answer

Había encontrado en ella todo lo que hacía indeseable una mayor unión entre ambas familias. Había visto lo suficiente de su arrogancia, su mezquindad y su decidido prejuicio en contra de ella para comprender todos los obstáculos que habrían dificultado su compromiso con Edward y pospuesto el matrimonio, si él hubiera estado libre; y casi había visto lo- suficiente para agradecer, por su propio bien, que el enorme impedimento de su falta de libertad la salvara de sufrir bajo aquellos que podría haber creado la señora Ferrars; la salvara de tener que depender de su capricho o de tener que conquistar su buena opinión.
