Willoughby was all that her fancy had delineated in that unhappy hour and in every brighter period, as capable of attaching her; and his behaviour declared his wishes to be in that respect as earnest, as his abilities were strong.
Willoughby was al wat haar verbeelding haar in die droeve ure had voorgespiegeld, en thans, in zooveel blijdere dagen, even bereid en gereed om haar hart te winnen; zijn gedrag toch bewees, dat zijn verlangens in dat opzicht even ernstig gemeend waren, als zijn vermogen om liefde in te boezemen krachtig was.
