Mrs. Jennings was very warm in her praise of Edward's conduct, but only Elinor and Marianne understood its true merit. THEY only knew how little he had had to tempt him to be disobedient, and how small was the consolation, beyond the consciousness of doing right, that could remain to him in the loss of friends and fortune.
Mevrouw Jennings prees Edward's gedrag met groote warmte, maar alleen Elinor en Marianne beseften de ware verdienste ervan. _Zij_ alleen wisten, hoe weinig hem verlokte tot ongehoorzaamheid, en hoe gering de troost was, die hem overbleef, bij het verlies van vrienden en fortuin, buiten de zekerheid, goed te hebben gehandeld.
