Mr. Brocklehurst, who, from his wealth and family connections, could not be overlooked, still retained the post of treasurer; but he was aided in the discharge of his duties by gentlemen of rather more enlarged and sympathising minds: his office of inspector, too, was shared by those who knew how to combine reason with strictness, comfort with economy, compassion with uprightness.
M. Brockelhurst ne pouvait être chassé à cause de sa richesse et de la célébrité de sa famille; il resta donc trésorier, mais on lui associa des hommes d'un esprit plus large et plus sympathique. Il fut aidé dans sa charge d'examinateur par des personnes habiles à faire marcher de front la raison et la sévérité, le confort et l'économie, la bonté et la justice.
