It was extraordinary that not only was everybody fond of him, but all the hitherto unsympathetic, cold, or indifferent persons were delighted with him, gave way to him in everything, treated his feelings with delicate consideration, and shared his own opinion that he was the happiest man on earth because his betrothed was the height of perfection.
Era extraordinario que, no sólo todos le apreciaban, sino que hasta personas antes frías, antipáticas a indiferentes, estaban ahora entusiasmadas con él, le atendían en todo, trataban con suave delicadeza su sentimiento y participaban de su opinión de que era el hombre más feliz del mundo, porque su novia era un dechado de perfecciones.
