There are people who seem to have no notion of sketching a character, or observing and describing salient points, either in persons or things: the good lady evidently belonged to this class; my queries puzzled, but did not draw her out.
Hay personas que tienen la propiedad de no saber describir en absoluto los caracteres de las otras, y Mrs. Fairfax pertenecía, sin duda, a esa clase de gentes.
