Mrs. Ferrars, not aware of their being Elinor's work, particularly requested to look at them; and after they had received gratifying testimony of Lady Middletons's approbation, Fanny presented them to her mother, considerately informing her, at the same time, that they were done by Miss Dashwood.
Mevrouw Ferrars, die niet wist dat ze Elinor's werk waren, bood ze zelve ter beschouwing aan, en nadat ze het vleiend getuigenis van Lady Middleton's goedkeuring hadden mogen verwerven, gaf Fanny ze nogmaals aan haar moeder, met de mededeeling, dat Juffrouw Dashwood ze geschilderd had.
