| Back | Of Edward, or at least of some of his concerns, she now received intelligence from Colonel Brandon, who had been into Dorsetshire lately; and who, treating her at once as the disinterested friend of Mr. Ferrars, and the kind of confidant of himself, talked to her a great deal of the parsonage at Delaford, described its deficiencies, and told her what he meant to do himself towards removing them.--His behaviour to her in this, as well as in every other particular, his open pleasure in meeting her after an absence of only ten days, his readiness to converse with her, and his deference for her opinion, might very well justify Mrs. Jennings's persuasion of his attachment, and would have been enough, perhaps, had not Elinor still, as from the first, believed Marianne his real favourite, to make her suspect it herself. |

| Front | En esos días Elinor tuvo noticias de Edward, o al menos de algunos sucesos relacionados con sus intereses, a través del coronel Brandon, que hacía poco había estado en Dorsetshire y que, dirigiéndose a ella al mismo tiempo como amiga desinteresada del señor Ferrars y gentil confidente suya, le conversaba largamente sobre la rectoría de Delaford, describía sus deficiencias y- le contaba qué pensaba hacer para solucionarlas. Su comportamiento hacia ella en esto, al igual que en todo lo demás; su sincero placer en verla tras una ausencia de tan sólo diez días; su disposición a conversar con ella y su respeto por sus opiniones, bien podían justificar que la señora Jennings estuviera convencida de que la quería, y quizá hasta habría bastado para que Elinor también lo sospechara si no creyera, como desde el comienzo, que Marianne seguía siendo su verdadera predilecta. |
