Aunque no se debiera suponer que la señora Ferrars pueda tener la menor satisfacción al saber que su hijo tiene el dinero suficiente para vivir... tal cosa sería impensable; pero, ¿por qué, después de lo que hizo, debe suponerse que a ella le importe algo? Ha terminado con su hijo, lo ha expulsado de su lado para siempre y ha hecho que todos aquellos sobre quienes tiene influencia hagan lo mismo.
