Edward, having carried his thanks to Colonel Brandon, proceeded with his happiness to Lucy; and such was the excess of it by the time he reached Bartlett's Buildings, that she was able to assure Mrs. Jennings, who called on her again the next day with her congratulations, that she had never seen him in such spirits before in her life.
Toen Edward Kolonel Brandon zijn dank had betuigd, ging hij Lucy deelgenoote maken van zijn geluk; en toen hij Bartlett's Buildings bereikte, was zijn blijdschap reeds zoo toegenomen, dat zij Mevrouw Jennings, die haar den volgenden dag kwam gelukwenschen, kon verzekeren, dat zij hem nog nooit in haar leven zoo verrukt had gezien.
