Sir William Lucas, and his daughter Maria, a good-humoured girl, but as empty-headed as himself, had nothing to say that could be worth hearing, and were listened to with about as much delight as the rattle of the chaise.
Sir William Lucas és a leánya, Maria - jó kedélyű teremtés, de éppolyan üresfejű, mint az apja -, semmi olyat nem mondtak, amire érdemes lett volna figyelni, s Elizabeth körülbelül annyi élvezettel hallgatta őket, mint a postakocsi dörgését.
