Mary had a milder and more open countenance than Blanche; softer features too, and a skin some shades fairer (Miss Ingram was dark as a Spaniard)--but Mary was deficient in life: her face lacked expression, her eye lustre; she had nothing to say, and having once taken her seat, remained fixed like a statue in its niche.
Mary parecía ser más amable y sencilla que Blanche, así como era más suave de facciones y más blanca de tez (su hermana era morena como una española). Pero su rostro carecía de expresión y sus ojos de brillo.
