    Anne   understood   it。   He   wished   to   avoid   seeing   her。   He   had 

inquired after her�察�she found�察�slightly�察�as might suit a former slight 

acquaintance�察        �seeming      to    acknowledge        such     as    she    had 

acknowledged�察  �actuated�察  �perhaps�察  �by   the   same   view   of   escaping 

introduction when they were to meet。 

    The morning hours of the Cottage were always later than those 

of the other house�察�and on the morrow the difference was so great 

that    Mary    and   Anne     were    not   more    than   beginning      breakfast 

when Charles came in to say that they were just setting off�察�that he 

was come for his dogs�察�that his sisters were following with Captain 

Wentworth�察  �his   sisters   meaning   to   visit   Mary   and   the   child�察  �and 

Captain      Wentworth       proposing      also   to  wait   on   her    for  a  few 

minutes if not inconvenient�察�and though Charles had answered for 

the   child¨s   being  in no  such  state   as could  make   it  inconvenient�察�

Captain Wentworth would not be satisfied without his running on 

to give notice。 

    Mary�察  �very   much   gratified   by   this   attention�察  �was   delighted   to 

receive him�察�while a thousand feelings rushed on Anne�察�of  which 

this was the most consoling�察�that it would soon be over。 And it was 

soon over。 In two minutes after Charles¨s preparation�察  �the  others 

appeared�察      �they   were    in   the  drawing´room。        Her    eye   half   met 

Captain      Wentworth¨s�察      �a  bow�察   �a  curtsey    passed�察   �she   heard    his 

voice!he talked to Mary�察�said all that was right�察�said something to 

the   Miss   Musgroves�察  �enough   to   mark   an   easy   footing�此  �the   room 

seemed full�察�full of persons and voices!but a few minutes ended 

it。   Charles   shewed      himself   at   the   window�察  �all   was   ready�察   �their 

visitor  had   bowed  and   was   gone�察  �the   Miss   Musgroves   were   gone 

too�察�suddenly resolving to walk to  the   end   of  the   village   with  the 

sportsmen�此      �the   room    was    cleared�察   �and   Anne    might     finish   her

breakfast as she could。 

    ^It is over� �it is over� 院�she repeated to herself again and again�察�

in nervous gratitude。 ^The worst is over� 院�

    Mary talked�察�but she could not attend。 She had seen him。 They 

had met。 They had been once more in the same room。 

    Soon�察�however�察�she began to reason with herself�察�and try to be 

feeling less。   Eight  years�察�almost  eight  years   had   passed�察  �since   all 

had    been    given   up。   How    absurd     to  be  resuming      the   agitation 

which      such     an    interval    had     banished      into    distance     and 

indistinctness�   �What   might   not   eight   years   do�拭  �Events   of   every 

description�察     �changes�察     �alienations�察    �removals!all�察      �all  must     be 

comprised in it�察�and oblivion of the past!how natural�察�how certain 

too� �It included nearly a third part of her own life。 

    Alas� �with all her reasoning�察�she found�察�that to retentive feelings 

eight years may be little more than nothing。 

    Now�察�how were his sentiments to be read�拭�Was this like wishing 

to avoid her�拭�And the next moment she was hating herself for the 

folly which asked the question。 

    On one other question which perhaps her utmost wisdom might 

not   have   prevented�察  �she   was   soon   spared   all   suspense�察  �for�察  �after 

the   Miss   Musgroves   had   returned   and   finished   their   visit   at   the 

Cottage she had this spontaneous information from Mary�此�

    ^Captain Wentworth   is   not   very   gallant  by   you�察  �Anne�察  �though 

he was so attentive to me。 Henrietta asked him what he thought of 

you�察�when they went  away�察  �and  he   said�察   �You  were   so altered   he 

should not have known you again。¨ ̄ 

    Mary     had   no   feelings   to  make     her  respect    her   sister¨s  in  a 

common        way�察   �but    she   was    perfectly     unsuspicious      of   being 

inflicting any peculiar wound。

    ^Altered     beyond      his  knowledge。 ̄       Anne    fully   submitted�察    �in 

silent�察�deep mortification。 Doubtless it was so�察�and she could take 

no revenge�察�for he was not altered�察�or not for the worse。 She had 

already     acknowledged        it  to  herself�察  �and    she   could    not   think 

differently�察�let him think of her as he would。 No�此�the years which 

had   destroyed   her   youth   and   bloom   had   only   given   him   a   more 

glowing�察  �manly�察  �open   look�察  �in   no   respect   lessening   his   personal 

advantages。 She had seen the same Frederick Wentworth。 

    ^So  altered   that  he  should not  have  known   her  again� 院  �These 

were   words   which   could   not   but   dwell       with   her。  Yet   she   soon 

began to rejoice that she had heard them。 They were of sobering 

tendency�察�they allayed agitation�察�they composed�察�and consequently 

must make her happier。 

    Frederick Wentworth  had   used   such  words�察  �or  something  like 

them�察�but without an idea that they would be carried round to her。 

He had thought her wretchedly altered�察�and in the first moment of 

appeal�察�had spoken as he felt。 He had not forgiven Anne Elliot。 She 

had used him ill�察�deserted and disappointed  him�察�and   worse�察  �she 

had   shewn   a   feebleness   of   character   in   doing  so�察  �which   his   own 

decided�察  �confident   temper   could   not   endure。   She   had   given   him 

up   to   oblige   others。   It   had   been   the   effect   of   over´persuasion。   It 

had been weakness and timidity。 

    He had been most warmly attached to her�察�and had never seen 

a woman since whom he thought her equal�察�but�察�except from some 

natural   sensation   of   curiosity�察  �he   had   no   desire   of   meeting   her 

again。 Her power with him was gone for ever。 

    It was now his object to marry。 He was rich�察�and being turned 

on shore�察�fully intended to settle as soon as he could be properly 

tempted�察�actually looking round�察�ready to fall in   love   with  all   the

speed which a clear head and a quick taste could allow。 He had a 

heart   for   either   of   the   Miss   Musgroves�察  �if   they   could   catch   it�察  �a 

heart�察  �in   short�察  �for   any   pleasing   young   woman   who   came   in   his 

way�察  �excepting   Anne   Elliot。   This   was   his   only   secret   exception�察�

when he said to his sister�察�in answer to her suppositions�察�

    ^Yes�察�here I   am�察  �Sophia�察  �quite   ready  to  make   a  foolish match。 

Any  body   between   fifteen   and   thirty   may   have   me   for   asking。   A 

little beauty�察�and a few smiles�察�and a few compliments to the navy�察�

and I am a lost man。 Should not this be enough for a sailor�察�who 

has had no society among women to make him nice�拭院�

    He said it�察�she knew�察�to be   contradicted。   His   bright  proud   eye 

spoke the conviction that he was nice�察�and Anne Elliot was not out 

of his thoughts�察�when he more seriously described the woman he 

should      wish   to  meet    with。
