Citation de Rivia56
Un morceau de balustrade vermoulu était tombé sur l’escalier, ramassé par Jane, juste avant qu’elle ne descende pour aller manger. Mais de quoi aurait-elle l'air face à son mari, lady Maria ou quiconque dans la bonne société, si elle leur faisait part de sa conviction qu'au sein d'une respectable maisonnée anglaise, un gentleman anglais – ex-héritier présomptif – ourdissait contre elle un ingénieux attentat digne d'un mélodrame ? [...]
« Et pourtant je pourrais être dans la mare sans fond, je pourrais être dans la mare sans fond et personne n’aurait rien su. »
It was a piece of rotten wood which had fallen from the balustrade upon the stairs, to be seen and picked up by Jane just before she would have passed down on her way to dinner.
And yet, what would she appear to her husband, to Lady Maria, to anyone in the decorous world, if she told them that she believed that in a dignified English household, an English gentleman, even a deposed heir presumptive, was working out a subtle plot against her such as might adorn a melodrama ? […]
"And yet I might have been in the bottomless pond, in the bottomless pond, and no one would have known.”
