Before her removing from Norland, Elinor had painted a very pretty pair of screens for her sister-in-law, which being now just mounted and brought home, ornamented her present drawing room; and these screens, catching the eye of John Dashwood on his following the other gentlemen into the room, were officiously handed by him to Colonel Brandon for his admiration.
Antes de abandonar Norland, Elinor había pintado un par de pantallas muy bonitas para su cuñada, las cuales, recién montadas y traídas a la casa, decoraban su actual salón; y como estas pantallas atrajeran la mirada de John Dashwood al seguir a los otros caballeros a dicho aposento, las tomó y se las alargó solícitamente al coronel Brandon para que las admirara.
