As bluntly as he could speak it, therefore, he told me that Marianne Dashwood was dying of a putrid fever at Cleveland--a letter that morning received from Mrs. Jennings declared her danger most imminent--the Palmers are all gone off in a fright, &c.--I was too much shocked to be able to pass myself off as insensible even to the undiscerning Sir John.
Tan bruscamente como pudo, entonces, me contó que Marianne Dashwood se estaba muriendo de una fiebre pútrida en Cleveland; una carta de la señora Jennings recibida esa mañana anunciaba que el peligro era inminente, el temor había alejado a los Palmer, etc. El golpe fue demasiado fuerte para permitirme fingir insensibilidad, incluso ante el poco perspicaz sir John.
