It was a wet and windy afternoon: Georgiana had fallen asleep on the sofa over the perusal of a novel; Eliza was gone to attend a saint's-day service at the new church--for in matters of religion she was a rigid formalist: no weather ever prevented the punctual discharge of what she considered her devotional duties; fair or foul, she went to church thrice every Sunday, and as often on week-days as there were prayers.
Eliza az új templomba ment istentiszteletre - mert vallási ügyekben mereven ragaszkodott a formaságokhoz. Akármilyen rossz idő volt, nem mulasztotta el azt, amit vallási kötelességének tartott; vasárnap, ha cigánygyerekek potyognak az égből, akkor is háromszor ment volna templomba, s hétköznap: valahányszor istentisztelet volt.
