I felt a conscientious solicitude for Adele's welfare and progress, and a quiet liking for her little self: just as I cherished towards Mrs. Fairfax a thankfulness for her kindness, and a pleasure in her society proportionate to the tranquil regard she had for me, and the moderation of her mind and character.
Yo sentía solícito interés por la instrucción y el bienestar de Adéle y experimentaba sincero agradecimiento hacia la amabilidad de Mrs. Fairfax; todo ello de modo reposado y tranquilo.
