| Mr. John Dashwood told his mother again and again how exceedingly sorry he was that she had taken a house at such a distance from Norland as to prevent his being of any service to her in removing her furniture. | Мистер Джон Дэшвуд вновь и вновь растолковывал своей мачехе, как он огорчен, что она выбрала дом на таком расстоянии от Норленда: ведь это лишает его возможности помочь ей с перевозкой вещей. |
| He really felt conscientiously vexed on the occasion; for the very exertion to which he had limited the performance of his promise to his father was by this arrangement rendered impracticable.- The furniture was all sent around by water. | Он действительно испытывал досаду, и его добродетель уязвляло то, что у него отняли случай выполнить данное отцу обещание в тех пределах, которые он для себя положил. |
| It chiefly consisted of household linen, plate, china, and books, with a handsome pianoforte of Marianne's. | Вещи были отправлены водой. Груз, если не считать прекрасного фортепьяно Марианны, состоял главным образом из всякого рода белья, столового серебра, фарфора и книг. |
| Mrs. John Dashwood saw the packages depart with a sigh: she could not help feeling it hard that as Mrs. Dashwood's income would be so trifling in comparison with their own, she should have any handsome article of furniture. | Миссис Джон Дэшвуд поглядела вслед тюкам со вздохом: мысль, что миссис Дэшвуд, чей доход был ничтожен в сравнении с их собственным, остается хозяйкой прекрасных сервизов и прочего, причиняла ей истинное страдание. |
| Mrs. Dashwood took the house for a twelvemonth; it was ready furnished, and she might have immediate possession. | Миссис Дэшвуд сняла коттедж на год. Он был меблирован и готов к обитанию. |
| No difficulty arose on either side in the agreement; and she waited only for the disposal of her effects at Norland, and to determine her future household, before she set off for the west; and this, as she was exceedingly rapid in the performance of everything that interested her, was soon done.-The horses which were left her by her husband had been sold soon after his death, and an opportunity now offering of disposing of her carriage, she agreed to sell that likewise at the earnest advice of her eldest daughter. |
