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

continually meeting�察�so much in the habit of running in and out of 

each other¨s house at all hours�察�that it was rather a surprise to her 

to find Mary alone�察�but being alone�察  �her  being  unwell  and   out  of 

spirits    was   almost   a   matter   of   course。    Though   better   endowed 

than    the   elder   sister�察 �Mary     had   not   Anne¨s    understanding   nor 

temper。 While well�察�and happy�察�and properly attended to�察�she had 

great   good     humour   and      excellent   spirits�察  �but   any   indisposition 

sunk     her   completely�察     �she   had    no   resources     for  solitude�察   �and 

inheriting a   considerable share  of  the  Elliot  self´importance�察  �was 

very prone to add to every other distress   that  of  fancying  herself

neglected and ill´used。 In person�察�she was inferior to both sisters�察�

and had�察�even in her bloom�察�only reached the dignity of being ^a 

fine girl。 ̄ She was now lying on the faded sofa of the pretty little 

drawing´room�察        �the  once    elegant    furniture     of  which    had    been 

gradually   growing   shabby�察  �under   the   influence   of   four   summers 

and two children�察�and�察�on Anne¨s appearing�察�greeted her with�察�

    ^So�察�you are come at last� �I began  to  think   I should never  see 

you。 I am so ill I can hardly speak。 I have not seen a creature the 

whole morning� 院�

    ^I   am   sorry   to   find   you   unwell�察院  �replied   Anne。   ^You   sent   me 

such a good account of yourself on Thursday� 院�

    ^Yes�察�I made the best of it�察�I always do�察�but I was very far from 

well at the time�察�and I do not think I ever was so ill in my life as I 

have been all this morning!very unfit to be left alone�察�I am sure。 

Suppose I were to be seized of a sudden in some dreadful way�察�and 

not able to ring the bell� �So�察�Lady Russell would not get out。 I do 

not think she has been in this house three times this summer。 ̄ 

    Anne   said   what   was   proper�察  �and   enquired   after   her   husband。 

^Oh�   �Charles   is   out   shooting。   I   have   not   seen   him   since   seven 

o¨clock。 He would go�察�though I told him how ill I was。 He said he 

should not stay out long�察�but he has never come back�察�and now it is 

almost   one。   I   assure   you�察  �I   have   not   seen   a   soul   this   whole   long 

morning。 ̄ 

    ^You have had your little boys with you�拭院�

    ^Yes�察   �as  long   as   I  could   bear   their   noise�察  �but   they   are   so 

unmanageable          that  they   do   me    more    harm     than   good。    Little 

Charles does not mind a word I say�察�and Walter is growing quite as 

bad。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察  �you   will   soon   be   better   now�察院  �replied   Anne�察  �cheerfully。

^You     know     I  always    cure   you    when     I  come。    How    are   your 

neighbours at the Great House�拭院�

    ^I can give you no account of them。 I have not seen one of them 

to´day�察�except Mr。 Musgrove�察�who just stopped and spoke through 

the   window�察  �but   without   getting   off   his   horse�察  �and   though   I   told 

him how ill I was�察�not one of them have been near me。 It did not 

happen to suit the Miss Musgroves�察�I suppose�察�and they never put 

themselves out of their way。 ̄ 

    ^You will see them yet�察�perhaps�察�before the morning is gone。 It 

is early。 ̄ 

    ^I never want them�察�I assure you。 They talk and laugh a great 

deal too much for me。 Oh� �Anne�察�I am so very unwell� �It was quite 

unkind of you not to come on Thursday。 ̄ 

    ^My dear Mary�察�recollect what a comfortable account you sent 

me of yourself� �You wrote in the cheerfullest manner�察�and said you 

were   perfectly   well�察  �and   in   no   hurry   for   me�察  �and   that   being   the 

case�察  �you   must   be   aware   that   my   wish   would   be   to   remain   with 

Lady Russell to the last�此�and besides what I felt on her account�察�I 

have really been so busy�察�have had so much to do�察�that I could not 

very conveniently have left Kellynch sooner。 ̄ 

    ^Dear me� �what can you possibly have to do�拭院�

    ^A great many things�察�I assure you。 More than I can recollect in 

a moment�此�but I can tell you some。 I have been making a duplicate 

of   the   catalogue   of   my   father¨s   books   and   pictures。   I   have   been 

several times in the garden with Mackenzie�察�trying to understand�察�

and   make      him   understand�察     �which   of   Elizabeth¨s    plants   are  for 

Lady Russell。 I have   had   all my  own little   concerns   to  arrange! 

books and music to divide�察�and all my trunks to repack�察�from not 

having understood in time what was intended as to the waggons。

And   one   thing   I   have   had   to   do�察  �Mary�察  �of   a   more   trying   nature�察�

going to almost every house in the parish�察�as a sort of take´leave。 I 

was told that they wished it。 But all these   things   took   up   a   great 

deal of time。 ̄ 

    ^Oh� �well� 院�and after a moment¨s pause�察 �but you have never 

asked me one word about our dinner at the Pooles yesterday。 ̄ 

    ^Did     you    go   then�拭   �I  have     made     no   enquiries�察    �because      I 

concluded you must have been obliged to give up the party。 ̄ 

    ^Oh   yes�   �I   went。   I   was   very   well   yesterday�察  �nothing   at   all   the 

matter with me till this   morning。   It  would   have   been strange if  I 

had not gone。 ̄ 

    ^I   am  very   glad   you   were   well   enough�察  �and   I   hope   you   had   a 

pleasant party。 ̄ 

    ^Nothing remarkable。 One always knows beforehand what the 

dinner      will   be�察  �and    who     will   be    there�察   �and    it  is  so   very 

uncomfortable  not   having  a   carriage   of   one¨s   own。   Mr。   and   Mrs。 

Musgrove   took   me�察  �and   we   were   so   crowded�   �They   are   both   so 

very large�察�and take up so much room� �And Mr。 Musgrove always 

sits   forward。   So�察  �there     was   I�察 �crowded   into   the     back   seat   with 

Henrietta and Louise。 And I think it very likely that my illness to´ 

day may be owing to it。 ̄ 

    A     little   further     perseverance         in    patience      and     forced 

cheerfulness   on   Anne¨s   side   produced   nearly   a   cure   on   Mary¨s。 

She   could   soon   sit   upright   on   the   sofa�察  �and   began   to   hope   she 

might be able to leave it by dinner´time。 Then�察�forgetting to think 

of it�察�she was at the other end of the room�察�beautifying a nosegay�察�

then�察  �she   ate   her   cold   meat�察  �and   then   she   was   well   enough   to 

propose a little walk。 

    ^Where       shall   we   go�拭院   �said   she�察  �when     they   were    ready。    ^I

suppose   you   will   not   like   to   call   at   the   Great   House   before   they 

have been to see you�拭院�

    ^I   have    not   the  smallest   objection      on   that   account�察院    �replied 

Anne。   ^I   should   never   think   of   standing   on   such   ceremony   with 

people I know so well as Mrs。 and the Miss Musgroves。 ̄ 

    ^Oh� �but they ought to call upon you as soon as possible。 They 

ought to feel what is due to you as my sister。 However�察�
