    ^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�we may as 

well   go   and   sit   with   them   a   little   while�察  �and   when   we   have   that 

over�察�we can enjoy our walk。 ̄ 

    Anne     had    always    thought   such   a     style   of   intercourse   highly 

imprudent�察  �but   she   had   ceased   to   endeavour   to   check            it�察 �from 

believing that�察�though there were on each side continual subjects 

of   offence�察  �neither   family   could   now   do   without   it。   To   the   Great 

House   accordingly  they  went�察  �to  sit  the   full   half  hour   in   the   old´ 

fashioned square parlour�察�with a small carpet and shining floor�察�to 

which   the   present   daughters   of   the   house   were   gradually   giving 

the   proper   air   of   confusion   by   a   grand   piano´forte   and   a   harp�察�

flower´stands and little tables placed in every direction。 Oh� �could 

the    originals    of   the   portraits    against    the   wainscot�察     �could    the 

gentlemen in brown velvet and the ladies in blue satin have seen 

what was going on�察�have been conscious of such an overthrow of 

all   order   and   neatness�   �The   portraits   themselves   seemed   to   be 

staring in astonishment。 

    The Musgroves�察�like their houses�察�were in a state of alteration�察�

perhaps of  improvement。   The   father  and   mother  were   in   the   old 

English   style�察  �and   the     young   people   in     the   new。   Mr。   and    Mrs。 

Musgrove were a very good sort of people�察�friendly and hospitable�察�

not   much   educated�察  �and   not   at   all      elegant。    Their   children     had 

more modern minds and manners。 There was a numerous family�察�

but the only two grown up�察�excepting Charles�察�were Henrietta and 

Louisa�察  �young   ladies   of   nineteen   and   twenty�察  �who   had   brought 

from school at Exeter all the usual stock of accomplishments�察�and 

were     now     like  thousands       of  other    young     ladies�察  �living   to   be 

fashionable�察�happy�察�and merry。 Their dress had every advantage�察�

their  faces   were   rather  pretty�察  �their   spirits   extremely   good�察  �their 

manner   unembarrassed   and   pleasant�察  �they   were   of   consequence 

at home�察�and favourites abroad。 Anne always contemplated them 

as   some   of   the   happiest   creatures   of   her   acquaintance�察  �but   still�察�

saved   as   we   all   are�察  �by   some   comfortable   feeling   of   superiority 

from wishing for  the   possibility  of  exchange�察  �she   would  not  have 

given   up   her  own   more   elegant and   cultivated   mind   for   all   their 

enjoyments�察�and envied them nothing but  that  seemingly  perfect 

good understanding and agreement together�察�that good´humoured 

mutual   affection�察  �of   which   she   had   known   so   little   herself   with 

either of her sisters。 

    They     were     received     with   great    cordiality。    Nothing      seemed 

amiss on the side of the Great House family�察�which was generally�察�

as   Anne   very   well   knew�察  �the   least   to   blame。   The   half   hour   was 

chatted away pleasantly enough�察�and she was not at all surprised 

at the end of it�察�to have their walking party joined by both the Miss 

Musgroves�察�at Mary¨s particular invitation。

           nne had not wanted this visit to Uppercross�察�to learn that 

Aa removal from one set of people to another�察�though at a 

           distance     of  only   three   miles�察  �will  often   include    a  total 

change   of   conversation�察  �opinion�察  �and   idea。   She   had   never   been 

staying there before�察�without being struck by it�察�or without wishing 

that    other    Elliots   could    have    her    advantage      in  seeing    how 

unknown�察       �or  unconsidered        there�察  �were    the    affairs   which    at 

Kellynch      Hall   were    treated    as   of  such    general    publicity    and 

pervading interest�察�yet�察�with all this   experience�察  �she believed   she 

must now submit to feel that another lesson�察�in the art of knowing 

our     own    nothingness       beyond      our   own     circle�察  �was    become 

necessary for her�察�for certainly�察�coming as she did�察�with a   heart 

full   of  the  subject    which    had   been    completely     occupying      both 

houses in Kellynch for many weeks�察�she had expected rather more 

curiosity   and   sympathy   than   she   found   in   the   separate   but   very 

similar   remark   of   Mr。   and   Mrs。   Musgrove!^So�察  �Miss   Anne�察  �Sir 

Walter   and   your   sister   are   gone�察  �and   what   part   of   Bath   do   you 

think   they  will settle   in�拭院  �and   this�察  �without   much   waiting   for   an 

answer�察�or in the young ladies¨ addition of�察 �I hope we shall be in 

Bath in the winter�察�but remember�察�papa�察�if we do go�察�we must be 

in a good situation�此�none of your Queen´squares for us� 院�or in the 

anxious   supplement   from         Mary�察   �of  ^Upon   my   word�察     �I  shall   be 

pretty well off�察�when you are all gone away to be happy at Bath� 院�

    She could only resolve to avoid such self´delusion in future�察�and 

think   with   heightened   gratitude   of   the   extraordinary   blessing   of

having one such truly sympathising friend as Lady Russell。 

    The    Mr。    Musgroves      had    their   own    game     to  guard�察   �and   to 

destroy�察�their own horses�察�dogs�察�and newspapers to engage them�察�

and    the   females     were   fully   occupied     in  all  the  other    common 

subjects of housekeeping�察�neighbours�察�dress�察�dancing�察�and music。 

She     acknowledged        it  to  be  very   fitting�察 �that   every   little  social 

commonwealth   should   dictate   its   own   matters   of   discourse�察  �and 

hoped�察�ere long�察�to become a not unworthy member of the one she 

was    now    transplanted      into。!With       the  prospect     of  spending     at 

least two months at Uppercross�察�it was highly incumbent on her to 

clothe her imagination�察�her memory�察�and all her ideas in as much 

of Uppercross as possible。 

    She    had    no   dread    of  these    two   months。     Mary     was   not   so 

repulsive   and   unsisterly   as   Elizabeth�察  �nor   so   inaccessible   to   all 

influence   of   hers�察  �neither   was     there   anything   among   the   other 

component        parts   of  the   cottage    inimical    to  comfort。!She        was 

always      on  friendly    terms    with    her   brother´in´law�察     �and    in  the 

children�察�who loved her nearly as well�察�and respected her a great 

deal    more     than    their   mother�察   �she    had   an   object    of  interest�察�

amusement�察�and wholesome exertion。 

    Charles Musgrove was civil and agreeable�察�in sense and temper 

he   was   undoubtedly   superior   to   his   wife�察  �but   not   of   powers�察  �or 

conversation�察�or grace�察�to make the past�察�as they  were   connected 

together�察  �at   all   a   dangerous   contemplation�察  �though�察  �at   the   same 

time�察  �Anne   could   believe�察  �with   Lady   Russell�察  �that   a   more   equal 

match might have greatly improved him�察�and that a woman of real 

understanding         might     have     given    more     consequence        to   his 

character�察  �and   more   usefulne
