Mrs. Dashwood had never been so much pleased with any young women in her life, as she was with them; had given each of them a needle book made by some emigrant; called Lucy by her Christian name; and did not know whether she should ever be able to part with them.
La señora Dashwood jamás en toda su vida había encontrado a ninguna joven tan agradable como a ellas; le había regalado a cada una un acerico, hecho por algún emigrado; llamaba a Lucy por su nombre de pila, y no sabía si alguna vez iba a poder separarse de ellas.
