As for Elizabeth herself, this invitation was so far from exciting in her the same feelings as in her mother and Lydia, that she considered it as the death warrant of all possibility of common sense for the latter; and detestable as such a step must make her were it known, she could not help secretly advising her father not to let her go.
Elizabeth était si loin de partager la satisfaction de Mrs. Bennet qu’elle considérait cette invitation comme le plus sur moyen de faire perdre a Lydia tout ce qui lui restait de bon sens ; aussi, malgré sa répugnance pour cette démarche, elle ne put s’empecher d’aller trouver son pere pour lui demander de ne point la laisser partir.
