Mrs. Fairfax said she should not be surprised if he were to go straight from the Leas to London, and thence to the Continent, and not show his face again at Thornfield for a year to come; he had not unfrequently quitted it in a manner quite as abrupt and unexpected.
La signora Fairfax mi disse che non si sarebbe stupita se dopo aver lasciato il castello del signor Eshton fosse andato a Londra e poi sul continente, per non tornare in tutto l'anno a Thornfield.
