Mr. Brocklehurst, who, from his wealth and family connections, could not be overlooked, still retained the post of treasurer; but he was aided in the discharge of his duties by gentlemen of rather more enlarged and sympathising minds: his office of inspector, too, was shared by those who knew how to combine reason with strictness, comfort with economy, compassion with uprightness.
Lo muy influyente que era Mr. Brocklehurst impidió que fuese destituido, pero se le relegó al cargo de tesorero y otras personas, más compasivas y mejores que él, asumieron parte de los deberes que antes ejerciera.
