I could not unlove him, because I felt sure he would soon marry this very lady--because I read daily in her a proud security in his intentions respecting her--because I witnessed hourly in him a style of courtship which, if careless and choosing rather to be sought than to seek, was yet, in its very carelessness, captivating, and in its very pride, irresistible.
No me era posible dejar de amarle aunque comprendiera que había de casarse en breve con Blanche Ingram, como lo indicaba la orgullosa seguridad que ella parecía mostrar respecto a sus intenciones. Yo, a pesar de todo, hubiera deseado que Rochester me dedicase aquellas amabilidades que, aunque negligentes e indiferentes, encerraban para mí un cautivador e irresistible interés.
