Your garb and manner were restricted by rule; your air was often diffident, and altogether that of one refined by nature, but absolutely unused to society, and a good deal afraid of making herself disadvantageously conspicuous by some solecism or blunder; yet when addressed, you lifted a keen, a daring, and a glowing eye to your interlocutor's face: there was penetration and power in each glance you gave; when plied by close questions, you found ready and round answers.
Tus modales eran algo cohibidos, parecías desconfiada, mostrabas un temperamento exquisito por naturaleza, pero no acostumbrado a la convivencia social. Estabas como temerosa de cometer algún descuido, pero tu mirada era penetrante y enérgica, y tus respuestas fáciles y prontas.
