Gentlemen especially are often in request on such occasions; and Mr. Rochester is so talented and so lively in society, that I believe he is a general favourite: the ladies are very fond of him; though you would not think his appearance calculated to recommend him particularly in their eyes: but I suppose his acquirements and abilities, perhaps his wealth and good blood, make amends for any little fault of look."
Rochester es un hombre encantador en sociedad, y se hace el favorito de todos, sobre todo de las señoras, aunque usted crea que su aspecto no le favorece. Yo supongo que su inteligencia, su riqueza y su nacimiento compensan esos pequeños defectos físicos.
