Marianne had promised to be guided by her mother's opinion, and she submitted to it therefore without opposition, though it proved perfectly different from what she wished and expected, though she felt it to be entirely wrong, formed on mistaken grounds, and that by requiring her longer continuance in London it deprived her of the only possible alleviation of her wretchedness, the personal sympathy of her mother, and doomed her to such society and such scenes as must prevent her ever knowing a moment's rest.
Marianne había prometido dejarse guiar por la opinión de su madre y se sometió entonces a ella sin objeciones, a pesar de ser por completo diferente a lo que ella deseaba o esperaba y aunque la creía un perfecto error basado en razones equivocadas; un error que, además, al demandar de ella la permanencia en Londres, la privaba del único alivio posible a su miseria -la íntima compasión de su madre- y la condenaba a una compañía y a situaciones que le impedirían conocer ni un solo momento de paz.
