| Back | Lady Middleton expressed her sense of the affair about once every day, or twice, if the subject occurred very often, by saying, "It is very shocking, indeed!" and by the means of this continual though gentle vent, was able not only to see the Miss Dashwoods from the first without the smallest emotion, but very soon to see them without recollecting a word of the matter; and having thus supported the dignity of her own sex, and spoken her decided censure of what was wrong in the other, she thought herself at liberty to attend to the interest of her own assemblies, and therefore determined (though rather against the opinion of Sir John) that as Mrs. Willoughby would at once be a woman of elegance and fortune, to leave her card with her as soon as she married. |

| Front | Lady Middleton manifestaba su parecer sobre el asunto entre una y dos veces al día, si el tema salía a relucir con alguna frecuencia, diciendo: “¡Qué cosa tan terrible, en verdad!”, y mediante este continuo aunque suave desahogo, no sólo fue capaz de ir a ver a las señoritas Dashwood desde un comienzo sin la menor emoción, sino que muy pronto sin recordar siquiera una palabra de todo el asunto; y habiendo defendido así la dignidad de su propio sexo y censurado decididamente lo que estaba mal en el otro, se sintió en libertad de proteger los intereses de su grupo, por lo que decidió (aunque algo en contra de la opinión de sir John) que, como la señora Willoughby sería una mujer elegante y rica a la vez, le dejaría su tarjeta tan pronto como se hubiera casado. |
