Colonel Brandon, the friend of Sir John, seemed no more adapted by resemblance of manner to be his friend, than Lady Middleton was to be his wife, or Mrs. Jennings to be Lady Middleton's mother. He was silent and grave.
El coronel Brandon, el amigo de sir John, con sus modales silenciosos y serios, parecía tan poco adecuado para ser su amigo como lady Middleton para ser su esposa, o la señora Jennings para ser la madre de lady Middleton.
