The cottage seemed to be considered and loved by him as his home; many more of his hours were spent there than at Allenham; and if no general engagement collected them at the park, the exercise which called him out in the morning was almost certain of ending there, where the rest of the day was spent by himself at the side of Marianne, and by his favourite pointer at her feet.
Parecía considerar la casa de ellas como su hogar, y amarla en consecuencia; en ella transcurrían muchas más horas de su vida que en Allenham; y si ningún compromiso general los reunía en Barton Park, el ejercicio que ocupaba sus mañanas casi con toda seguridad terminaba allí, donde pasaba el resto del día junto a Marianne, y con su pointer favorito a los pies de ella.
