The evening was spent chiefly in talking over Hertfordshire news, and telling again what had already been written; and when it closed, Elizabeth, in the solitude of her chamber, had to meditate upon Charlotte's degree of contentment, to understand her address in guiding, and composure in bearing with, her husband, and to acknowledge that it was all done very well.
La soirée se passa tout entiere a parler du Hertfordshire. Une fois retirée dans la solitude de sa chambre, Elizabeth put méditer a loisir sur le bonheur dont semblait jouir son amie.
