| Back | This picture, she had allowed herself to believe, might have been accidentally obtained; it might not have been Edward's gift; but a correspondence between them by letter, could subsist only under a positive engagement, could be authorised by nothing else; for a few moments, she was almost overcome--her heart sunk within her, and she could hardly stand; but exertion was indispensably necessary; and she struggled so resolutely against the oppression of her feelings, that her success was speedy, and for the time complete. |

| Front | El retrato, se había permitido creer, podía haber sido obtenido de manera fortuita; podía no haber sido regalo de Edward; pero una correspondencia epistolar entre ellos sólo podía existir dado un compromiso real; nada sino eso podía autorizarla. Durante algunos instantes se vio casi derrotada... el alma se le fue a los pies y apenas podía sostenerse; pero era obligatoriamente necesario sobreponerse, y luchó con tanta decisión contra la congoja de su espíritu que el éxito fue rápido y, por el momento, completo. |
