Source language: English

She felt her brother had lowered himself by marrying "BENEATH" him, and had, out of deep love and loyalty, given way in most things to his wife's wishes. It must be remembered that they had been brought up in an age of propriety, WHEN GREAT STORE WAS SET UPON WHAT WAS REGARDED AS "DOING THE RIGHT THING"

Translated by lilian canale
Target language: Spanish

A ella le pareció que su hermano se había rebajado al casarse con alguien inferior a él, y había, sin amor profundo y lealtad, mayormente dado lugar a los deseos de su esposa. Debemos recordar que ellos habían sido criados en una época de decoro, cuando se le daba gran importancia a lo que era considerado "hacer lo correcto".
Remarks about the translation
to marry beneath oneself = no casarse bien, no hacer un buen casamiento
