She wanted to hear many particulars of their engagement repeated again, she wanted more clearly to understand what Lucy really felt for Edward, whether there were any sincerity in her declaration of tender regard for him, and she particularly wanted to convince Lucy, by her readiness to enter on the matter again, and her calmness in conversing on it, that she was no otherwise interested in it than as a friend, which she very much feared her involuntary agitation, in their morning discourse, must have left at least doubtful.
Deseaba escuchar otra vez muchos detalles de su compromiso; deseaba entender con mayor claridad lo que Lucy realmente sentía por Edward, si era en verdad sincera en sus declaraciones de tierno afecto por él; y muy en especial quería convencer a Lucy, por su presteza en incursionar en el asunto de nuevo y su tranquilidad al conversar sobre él, que no le interesaba más que como amiga, algo que temía haber dejado al menos en duda con su involuntaria agitación durante su conversación matinal.
