Persuasion:
Diciamocelo: lui è un grandissimo pasticcino - anche perchè me lo immagino proprio come quello dello sceneggiato della BBC - ma Anne Elliot è veramente da tagliarsi le vene! una sfigata così era dai tempi di cenerentola che non la incontravo! ma neanche, è molto peggio!

Persuasion:
Diciamocelo: lui è un grandissimo pasticcino - anche perchè me lo immagino proprio come quello dello sceneggiato della BBC - ma Anne Elliot è veramente da tagliarsi le vene! una sfigata così era dai tempi di cenerentola che non la incontravo! ma neanche, è molto peggio!

You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in
F. W.
I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.
