She was hasty, but good-humoured; vain (she could not help it, when every glance in the glass showed her such a flush of loveliness), but not affected; liberal-handed; innocent of the pride of wealth; ingenuous; sufficiently intelligent; gay, lively, and unthinking: she was very charming, in short, even to a cool observer of her own sex like me; but she was not profoundly interesting or thoroughly impressive.
Era caprichosa, pero tenía buen carácter; frívola, mas no afectada; generosa, nada orgullosa de su situación económica, ingenua, bastante inteligente, despreocupada y alegre. Era encantadora, en resumen, aun para un observador imparcial y de su propio sexo, como yo, pero no profundamente interesado.
