When Sir John returned, he joined most heartily in the general regret on so unfortunate an event; concluding however by observing, that as they were all got together, they must do something by way of being happy; and after some consultation it was agreed, that although happiness could only be enjoyed at Whitwell, they might procure a tolerable composure of mind by driving about the country.
Al volver, sir John se unió con gran entusiasmo al lamento general por tan desafortunado incidente; no obstante, concluyó observando que como estaban todos juntos, debían hacer algo que los alegrara; y tras algunas consultas acordaron que aunque sólo podían encontrar felicidad en Whitwell, podrían procurarse una aceptable tranquilidad de espíritu dando un paseo por el campo.
