Appeale to one's good sense

Hi

I came across this sentence and I don't exactly get 'appealed to her good sense'.

'I said that what she saw had been a hallucination, and appealed to her good sense, and her face relaxed.'

Actually the main problem I'm faced with is to translate this into my own language. But I guess your explanation will help me do so.

Thanks for helping me.

A person's "good sense" is their (hopefully) natural understanding of what is sensible and reasonable. If you "appeal" to that good sense, you ask someone to exercise it, i.e to think and behave sensibly and reasonably.
