With her children they were in continual raptures, extolling their beauty, courting their notice, and humouring their whims; and such of their time as could be spared from the importunate demands which this politeness made on it, was spent in admiration of whatever her ladyship was doing, if she happened to be doing any thing, or in taking patterns of some elegant new dress, in which her appearance the day before had thrown them into unceasing delight.
Con los niños se mostraban en continuo arrobamiento, ensalzando su belleza, atrayendo su atención y complaciéndolos en todos sus caprichos; y el poco tiempo que podían quitarle a las inoportunas demandas a que su gentileza las exponía, lo dedicaban a admirar lo que fuera que estuviera haciendo su señoría, en caso de que estuviera haciendo algo, o a copiar el modelo de algún nuevo vestido elegante que, al verle usar el día antes, las había hecho caer en interminable éxtasis.
