When their promised visit to the Park and consequent introduction to these young ladies took place, they found in the appearance of the eldest, who was nearly thirty, with a very plain and not a sensible face, nothing to admire; but in the other, who was not more than two or three and twenty, they acknowledged considerable beauty; her features were pretty, and she had a sharp quick eye, and a smartness of air, which though it did not give actual elegance or grace, gave distinction to her person.-- Their manners were particularly civil, and Elinor soon allowed them credit for some kind of sense, when she saw with what constant and judicious attention they were making themselves agreeable to Lady Middleton.
Cuando cumplieron con la prometida visita a la finca y les fueron presentadas las jovencitas, no encontraron en la apariencia de la mayor, que casi rozaba los treinta y tenía un rostro poco agraciado y para nada despierto, nada que admirar; pero en la otra, que no tenía más de veintidós o veintitrés años, encontraron sobrada belleza; sus facciones eran bonitas, tenía una mirada aguda y sagaz y una cierta airosidad en su aspecto que, aunque no le daba verdadera elegancia, sí la hacía distinguirse. Los modales de ambas eran especialmente corteses, y pronto Elinor tuvo que reconocer algo de buen juicio en ellas, al ver las constantes y oportunas atenciones con que se hacían agradables a lady Middleton.
