It seemed I had found a brother: one I could be proud of,--one I could love; and two sisters, whose qualities were such, that, when I knew them but as mere strangers, they had inspired me with genuine affection and admiration.
Parecíame haber hallado un hermano -y un hermano del que me sentía orgullosa-, y dos hermanas cuyas cualidades, aun considerándolas extrañas a mí, habían despertado mi admiración y mi afecto.
