When the ladies removed after dinner, Elizabeth ran up to her sister, and seeing her well guarded from cold, attended her into the drawing-room, where she was welcomed by her two friends with many professions of pleasure; and Elizabeth had never seen them so agreeable as they were during the hour which passed before the gentlemen appeared.
Lorsque les dames se leverent de table a la fin du dîner, Elizabeth remonta en courant chez sa sour et, apres avoir veillé a ce qu’elle fut bien couverte, redescendit avec elle au salon. Jane fut accueillie par ses amies avec de grandes démonstrations de joie.
