Or, ce que le public avait remarqué aussi, c’est que non rarement les yeux si parlants du jeune prédicateur s’arrêtaient avec complaisance sur la jeune héritière, cette beauté si piquante ; et apparemment avec quelque attention, car, dès qu’il avait les yeux fixés sur elle, son sermon devenait savant ; les citations y abondaient, l’on n’y trouvait plus de ces mouvements qui partent du cœur ; et les dames, pour qui l’intérêt cessait presque aussitôt, se mettaient à regarder la Marini et à en médire.
Now, what the public also had noticed was that, not infrequently, those speaking eyes of the young preacher rested with evident pleasure on the young heiress, that striking beauty; and apparently with some attention, for, when he had his eyes fixed on her, his sermon became learned; the quotations began to abound in it, there was no more sign of that eloquence which springs from the heart; and the ladies, whose interest ceased almost at once, began to look at the Marini and to find fault with her.
