Had she tried to speak, or had she been conscious of half Mrs. Jennings's well-meant but ill-judged attentions to her, this calmness could not have been maintained; but not a syllable escaped her lips; and the abstraction of her thoughts preserved her in ignorance of every thing that was passing before her.
Si hubiera intentado hablar o se hubiera dado cuenta de la mitad de las bien intencionadas pero desatinadas atenciones que le dirigía la señora Jennings, no habría podido mantener esa calma; pero sus labios no dejaron escapar ni una sílaba y su ensimismamiento la mantuvo en la mayor ignorancia de cuanto ocurría frente a ella.
