Oh, man, that got extremely bowdlerized! Thank you. Our version has:
"Your brother," said she to me, looking closely at him, "is in despair at being obliged to marry her, and not unreasonably : she is a downright fool ; to all that is said to her she replies yes or no, accompanied by a foolish laugh inexpressibly displeasing." I was astonished at this conversation, which was carried on in presence of the servants, and especially as my brother was also present.
Not even any vomiting!
Maybe I should get my hands on the German edition. My German could always use a little more practice. :P
Can you give me the publication details of yours, so I end up with the right one?
