| Back | To atone for this conduct therefore, Elinor took immediate possession of the post of civility which she had assigned herself, behaved with the greatest attention to Mrs. Jennings, talked with her, laughed with her, and listened to her whenever she could; and Mrs. Jennings on her side treated them both with all possible kindness, was solicitous on every occasion for their ease and enjoyment, and only disturbed that she could not make them choose their own dinners at the inn, nor extort a confession of their preferring salmon to cod, or boiled fowls to veal cutlets. |

| Front | Para compensar esta conducta, sin embargo, Elinor asumió de inmediato el deber de cortesía que se había impuesto como tarea, fue extremadamente atenta con la señora Jennings, conversó con ella, se rió con ella y la escuchó siempre que le era posible; y la señora Jennings, por su parte, las trató a ambas con toda la bondad imaginable, se preocupó en todo momento de que estuvieran cómodas y entretenidas, y sólo la disgustó no lograr que eligieran su propia cena en la posada ni poder obligarlas a confesar si preferían el salmón o el bacalao, el pollo cocido o las chuletas de ternera. |
