thought of some use�察�glad to have anything marked out as a duty�察�

and certainly not sorry to have the scene of it in the country�察�and 

her own dear country�察�readily agreed to stay。 

    This invitation of Mary¨s removed all Lady Russell¨s difficulties�察�

and  it  was consequently  soon settled   that Anne   should   not   go   to 

Bath till Lady Russell took her�察�and that all   the   intervening  time 

should     be   divided    between      Uppercross      Cottage     and    Kellynch 

Lodge。 

    So    far  all  was  perfectly    right�察  �but  Lady    Russell    was   almost 

startled by the wrong of one part of the Kellynch Hall plan�察�when 

it burst on her�察�which was�察�Mrs。 Clay¨s being engaged to go to Bath 

with Sir Walter and Elizabeth�察�as   a  most  important  and   valuable 

assistant to the latter in all the business before her。 Lady Russell 

was     extremely     sorry    that  such    a   measure     should     have    been 

resorted to at all!wondered�察�grieved�察�and feared!and the affront 

it  contained  to  Anne�察�in   Mrs。 Clay¨s   being   of   so   much   use�察  �while 

Anne could be of none�察�was a very sore aggravation。 

    Anne   herself   was   become   hardened   to   such   affronts�察  �but   she 

felt   the   imprudence   of   the   arrangement   quite   as   keenly   as   Lady 

Russell。 With a great deal of quiet observation�察�and a knowledge�察�

which   she   often   wished   less�察  �of   her   father¨s   character�察  �she   was 

sensible     that   results   the   most    serious    to  his  family    from    the 

intimacy  were   more   than   possible。   She   did   not   imagine   that   her 

father had at present an idea of the kind。 Mrs。 Clay had freckles�察�

and     a   projecting     tooth�察   �and    a  clumsy      wrist�察  �which     he    was 

continually making severe remarks upon�察�in her absence�察�but she 

was   young�察  �and   certainly   altogether   well´looking�察  �and   possessed�察�

in an acute mind and assiduous pleasing manners�察�infinitely more 

dangerous attractions than any merely personal might have been。 

Anne   was   so   impressed   by   the   degree   of   their   danger�察  �that   she 

could not excuse herself from trying to make it perceptible to her 

sister。   She   had   little   hope   of   success�察  �but   Elizabeth�察  �who   in   the 

event of such a reverse would be so much more to be pitied than 

herself�察�should never�察�she thought�察�have reason to reproach her for 

giving no warning。 

    She    spoke�察   �and    seemed     only    to  offend。    Elizabeth     could   not 

conceive how such an absurd   suspicion should   occur  to  her�察  �and 

indignantly       answered      for   each   party¨s    perfectly    knowing      their 

situation。 

    ^Mrs。 Clay�察院�said she�察�warmly�察 �never forgets who she is�察�and as 

I   am   rather  better  acquainted   with   her   sentiments   than   you   can 

be�察  �I   can   assure   you�察  �that   upon   the   subject   of   marriage   they   are 

particularly       nice�察  �and     that   she    reprobates      all   inequality     of 

condition and rank more strongly than most people。 And as to my 

father�察  �I   really   should   not   have   thought   that   he�察  �who   has      kept 

himself   single   so   long   for   our   sakes�察  �need   be   suspected   now。   If 

Mrs。   Clay  were   a   very  beautiful   woman�察  �I   grant   you�察  �it   might   be 

wrong   to   have   her   so   much   with   me�察  �not   that   anything   in   the 

world�察  �I   am   sure�察  �would   induce   my   father   to   make   a   degrading 

match�察  �but   he   might   be   rendered   unhappy。   But   poor   Mrs。   Clay 

who�察�with all her merits�察�can never have been reckoned tolerably 

pretty�察�I really think poor Mrs。 Clay may be staying here in perfect 

safety。 One would imagine you had never heard my father speak of

her   personal     misfortunes�察     �though   I   know   you   must   fifty   times。 

That tooth of her¨s and those freckles。 Freckles do not disgust me 

so very much as they do him。 I have known a face not materially 

disfigured      by  a  few�察  �but   he   abominates      them。    You    must    have 

heard him notice Mrs。 Clay¨s freckles。 ̄ 

    ^There is hardly any personal defect�察院�replied Anne�察 �which an 

agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to。 ̄ 

    ^I   think   very    differently�察院   �answered      Elizabeth�察    �shortly�察   �an 

agreeable   manner  may  set  off   handsome   features�察  �but   can   never 

alter plain ones。 However�察�at any rate�察�as I have a great deal more 

at stake on this point than anybody else can have�察�I think it rather 

unnecessary in you to be advising me。 ̄ 

    Anne     had    done�察   �glad   that   it  was   over�察  �and    not   absolutely 

hopeless of doing good。 Elizabeth�察�though resenting the suspicion�察�

might yet be made observant by it。 

    The    last  office   of  the   four   carriage´horses      was    to  draw    Sir 

Walter�察�Miss Elliot�察�and Mrs。 Clay to Bath。 The party drove off in 

very   good   spirits�察  �Sir   Walter   prepared   with   condescending   bows 

for all the afflicted tenantry and cottagers who might have   had  a 

hint to show themselves�察�and Anne walked up at the same time�察�in 

a   sort   of   desolate  tranquillity�察   �to   the  Lodge�察   �where    she   was   to 

spend the first week。 

    Her friend was not  in better  spirits   than   herself。   Lady  Russell 

felt   this   break´up   of   the   family   exceedingly。   Their   respectability 

was as dear to her as her own�察�and a daily intercourse had become 

precious      by  habit。   It  was    painful   to   look   upon    their   deserted 

grounds�察�and still worse to anticipate the new hands they were to 

fall  into�察�and   to  escape   the   solitariness and   the   melancholy   of   so 

altered   a   village�察  �and   be   out   of   the   way   when   Admiral   and   Mrs。

Croft first arrived�察�she had determined to make her own absence 

from home begin when she must give up Anne。 Accordingly their 

removal       was    made      together�察    �and    Anne     was     set   down     at 

Uppercross Cottage�察�in the first stage of Lady Russell¨s journey。 

    Uppercross   was   a   moderate´sized   village�察         �which   a   few   years 

back had been completely in the old English style�察�containing only 

two   houses   superior   in   appearance   to   those   of   the   yeomen   and 

labourers�察�the   mansion   of   the   ¨squire�察  �with   its   high   walls�察  �great 

gates�察   �and    old   trees�察  �substantial     and   unmodernized!and             the 

compact�察�tight parsonage�察�enclosed in its own neat garden�察�with a 

vine   and   a   pear´tree   trained   round   its   casements�察  �but   upon   the 

marriage of the young ¨squire�察�it had received the improvement of 

a   farm´house       elevated     into   a  cottage�察   �for  his   residence�察    �and 

Uppercross Cottage�察�with its veranda�察�French windows�察�and other 

prettiness�察  �was   quite   as   likely   to   catch   the   traveller¨s   eye   as   the 

more     consistent     and    considerable      aspect    and   premises      of  the 

Great House�察�about a quarter of a mile farther on。 

    Here     Anne    had    often   been    staying。   She    knew     the  ways    of 

Uppercross as well as those of Kellynch。 The two families were so
