Apenas partió Edward, Elinor se sentó a su mesa de dibujo, se mantuvo ocupada durante todo el día, no buscó ni evitó mencionar su nombre, Pareció prestar el mismo interés de siempre a las Preocupaciones generales de la familia, y si con esta conducta no hizo disminuir su propia congoja, al menos evitó que aumentara de manera innecesaria, y su madre y hermanas se vieron libres de muchos afanes por su causa.
