Gentlemen especially are often in request on such occasions; and Mr. Rochester is so talented and so lively in society, that I believe he is a general favourite: the ladies are very fond of him; though you would not think his appearance calculated to recommend him particularly in their eyes: but I suppose his acquirements and abilities, perhaps his wealth and good blood, make amends for any little fault of look."
A nőtlen urakat meg éppen nagyon kedvelik mindenütt, és Mr. Rochester olyan szellemes, olyan mulatságos, hogy azt hiszem, általános kedvence a társaságnak. A hölgyek is nagyon szeretik, annak ellenére, hogy nem mondható csinos férfinak.
