She could not but smile to see the graciousness of both mother and daughter towards the very person-- for Lucy was particularly distinguished--whom of all others, had they known as much as she did, they would have been most anxious to mortify; while she herself, who had comparatively no power to wound them, sat pointedly slighted by both.
No podía dejar de sonreír al ver la afabilidad de madre e hija dirigida precisamente hacia la persona -porque con ella distinguían en especial a Lucy- que, de haber sabido lo que ella sabía; habrían estado más deseosas de mortificar; en tanto que ella, que en comparación no tenía ningún poder para herirlas, se veía obviamente menospreciada por ambas.
