If it be so, if I have been misled by such error to inflict pain on her, your resentment has not been unreasonable. But I shall not scruple to assert, that the serenity of your sister's countenance and air was such as might have given the most acute observer a conviction that, however amiable her temper, her heart was not likely to be easily touched.
Dans ce cas, je me suis trouvé lui infliger une souffrance qui légitime votre ressentiment ; mais je n’hésite pas a dire que la sérénité de votre sour aurait donné a l’observateur le plus vigilant l’impression que, si aimable que fut son caractere, son cour ne devait pas etre facile a toucher.
