Edward heard with pleasure of Colonel Brandon's being expected at the Cottage, as he really wished not only to be better acquainted with him, but to have an opportunity of convincing him that he no longer resented his giving him the living of Delaford--"Which, at present," said he, "after thanks so ungraciously delivered as mine were on the occasion, he must think I have never forgiven him for offering."
Edward se alegró al saber que esperaban la visita del coronel Brandon a la casa, pues no sólo deseaba conocerlo mejor, sino convencerlo de que ya no resentía que le hubiera dado el beneficio de Delaford, “pues con los poco entusiastas agradecimientos que recibió de mi parte en esa ocasión”, dijo, “puede seguir creyendo que todavía no le perdono habérmelo ofrecido”.
