Pero un llamado al afecto por su madre, hacerle ver los inconvenientes que debería sobrellevar una madre tan indulgente si (como probablemente ocurriría) consentía a este aumento de sus gastos, vencieron sin gran demora a Marianne. Prometió no tentar a su madre a tan imprudente bondad con la mención de la oferta, y decir a Willoughby la siguiente vez que lo viera, que debía declinarla.
