be   vain。   Mary  knew�察  �from   Charles¨s   manner  of   speaking�察  �that   he 

was quite determined on going�察�and that it would be of no use to 

teaze him。 She said nothing�察�therefore�察�till he was out of the room�察�

but as soon as there was only Anne to hear�察�

    ^So you and I are to be left to shift by ourselves�察�with this poor 

sick  child!and   not   a   creature   coming  near   us   all   the   evening�   �I 

knew how it would be。 This is always my luck。 If there is anything 

disagreeable   going   on   men   are   always   sure   to   get   out   of   it�察  �and 

Charles is as bad as any of them。 Very unfeeling� �I must say it is 

very unfeeling of him to be running away from his poor little boy。 

Talks of his being going on so well� �How does he know that he is 

going on well�察�or that there may not be   a sudden  change   half an 

hour hence�拭�I did not think Charles would have been so unfeeling。 

So here he is to go away and enjoy himself�察�and because I am the 

poor mother�察�I am not to be allowed to stir�察�and yet�察�I am sure�察�I 

am more unfit than anybody else to be about the child。 My being 

the mother is the very reason why my feelings should not be tried。 

I am not at all equal to it。 You saw how hysterical I was yesterday。 ̄

    ^But that was only the effect of the suddenness of your alarm! 

of the shock。 You will not be hysterical again。 I dare say we shall 

have nothing to distress us。 I perfectly understand Mr。 Robinson¨s 

directions�察�and have no fears�察�and indeed�察�Mary�察�I cannot wonder 

at your husband。 Nursing does not  belong  to  a   man�察  �it  is  not  his 

province。   A   sick   child   is   always   the   mother¨s   property�察  �her   own 

feelings generally make it so。 ̄ 

    ^I hope I am as fond of my child as any mother!but  I   do not 

know that I am of any more use in the sick´room than Charles�察�for 

I cannot be always scolding and teazing the poor child when it is 

ill�察�and you saw�察�this morning�察�that if I told him to keep quiet�察�he 

was sure to begin kicking about。 I have not nerves for the sort of 

thing。 ̄ 

    ^But�察  �could   you   be   comfortable   yourself�察  �to   be   spending   the 

whole evening away from the poor boy�拭院�

    ^Yes�察�you see his papa can�察�and why should not I�拭�Jemima is 

so careful�察�and she could send us word every hour how he was。 I 

really think Charles might as well have told his father we would all 

come。 I am not more alarmed about little Charles now than he is。 I 

was dreadfully alarmed yesterday�察�but the case is very different to´ 

day。 ̄ 

    ^Well!if you do not think it too late to give notice for yourself�察�

suppose   you   were      to   go�察 �as  well  as  your   husband。     Leave    little 

Charles to my care。 Mr。 and Mrs。 Musgrove cannot think it wrong 

while I remain with him。 ̄ 

    ^Are you serious�拭院�cried Mary�察�her eyes brightening。 ^Dear me� �

that¨s   a   very  good   thought�察  �very  good�察  �indeed。   To  be  sure�察  �I may 

just as well go as not�察�for I am of no use at home!am I�拭�and it only 

harasses   me。   You�察  �who   have  not   a   mother¨s   feelings�察  �are  a   great

deal     the   properest      person。    You     can   make      little  Charles     do 

anything�察  �he always minds  you  at  a   word。   It   will   be   a   great  deal 

better than leaving him only with Jemima。 Oh� �I shall certainly go�察�

I am sure I ought if I can�察�quite as much as Charles�察�for they want 

me   excessively   to   be   acquainted   with   Captain   Wentworth�察  �and   I 

know   you   do   not   mind   being   left   alone。   An   excellent   thought   of 

yours�察   �indeed�察    �Anne。    I  will  go  and    tell  Charles�察  �and    get  ready 

directly。 You can send for us�察  �you  know�察�at  a moment¨s   notice�察  �if 

anything   is   the   matter�察  �but   I   dare   say   there   will   be   nothing   to 

alarm you。 I should not go�察�you may be sure�察�if I did not feel quite 

at ease about my dear child。 ̄ 

    The   next  moment  she   was   tapping  at  her  husband¨s   dressing´ 

room door�察�and as Anne followed her up stairs�察�she was in time for 

the whole conversation�察�which began with Mary¨s saying�察�in a tone 

of great exultation�察�

    ^I   mean   to   go   with   you�察  �Charles�察  �for   I   am   of   no   more   use   at 

home than you are。 If I   were   to  shut  myself  up   for  ever  with  the 

child�察�I should not be able to persuade him to do anything he did 

not like。 Anne will stay�察�Anne undertakes to stay at home and take 

care of him。 It is Anne¨s own proposal�察�and so I shall go with you�察�

which will be a great deal better�察�for I have not dined at the other 

house since Tuesday。 ̄ 

    ^This is very kind of Anne�察院�was her husband¨s answer�察 �and I 

should be very glad to have you go�察�but it seems rather hard that 

she should be left at home by herself�察�to nurse our sick child。 ̄ 

    Anne     was   now   at   hand   to    take   up   her   own    cause�察  �and    the 

sincerity   of    her   manner   being   soon       sufficient   to   convince    him�察�

where   conviction   was   at   least   very   agreeable�察  �he   had   no   farther 

scruples as to her being left to dine alone�察�though he still wanted

her to join them in the evening�察�when the child might be at rest for 

the night�察�and kindly urged her to let him come and fetch her�察�but 

she was quite unpersuadable�察�and this being the case�察�she had ere 

long   the   pleasure   of   seeing   them   set   off   together   in   high   spirits。 

They      were     gone�察   �she    hoped�察    �to   be    happy�察    �however       oddly 

constructed   such   happiness   might   seem�察  �as   for   herself�察  �she   was 

left   with   as   many   sensations   of   comfort�察  �as   were�察  �perhaps�察  �ever 

likely to be hers。 She knew herself to be of the   first  utility  to  the 

child�察  �and   what   was   it   to   her   if   Frederick   Wentworth   were   only 

half a mile distant�察�making himself agreeable to others�拭�

    She   would   have   liked   to   know   how   he   felt   as   to   a   meeting。 

Perhaps       indifferent�察     �if  indifference      could     exist   under      such 

circumstances。 He must be either indifferent or unwilling。 Had he 

wished   ever   to   see   her   again�察  �he   need   not   have   waited   till   this 

time�察�he would have done what she could not  but believe   that  in 

his   place she  should   have   done   long   ago�察  �when   events   had   been 

early giving him the independence which alone had been wanting。 

    Her   brother   and      sister   came    back    delighted     with    their  new 

acquaintance�察  �and   their   visit   in   general。   There   had   been   music�察�

singing�察  �talking�察  �laughing�察�all   that   was   most   agreeable�察  �charming 

manners        in  Captain     Wentworth�察       �no   shyness     or   reserve�察   �they 

seemed all   to  know  each  other  perfectly�察�and   he  was coming  the 

very    next    morning      to  shoot    with   Charles。    He    was    to  come    to 

breakfast�察�but not at the Cottage�察�though that had been proposed 

at first�察�but then he had been pressed to come to the Great House 

instead�察�and he seemed afraid of being in Mrs。 Charles Musgrove¨s 

way�察�on account of the child�察�and therefore�察�somehow�察�they hardly 

knew how�察�it ended in Charles¨s being to meet him to breakfast at
