Short was the time, however, in which that fear could affect her, for within half an hour after Willoughby's leaving the house, she was again called down stairs by the sound of another carriage.--Eager to save her mother from every unnecessary moment's horrible suspense, she ran immediately into the hall, and reached the outward door just in time to receive and support her as she entered it.
Poco fue el tiempo, sin embargo, en que la afectó ese temor, pues antes de media hora de la partida de Willoughby, el ruido de otro carruaje la hizo bajar nuevamente. Ansiosa de evitar a su madre innecesarios momentos de terrible suspenso, corrió de inmediato al vestíbulo y llegó a la puerta principal justo a tiempo de recibirla y sostenerla mientras entraba.
