                             CHAPTER VIII 



           rom   this   time   Captain   Wentworth   and   Anne   Elliot   were 

Frepeatedly   in   the   same   circle。   They   were   soon   dining   in 

           company   together   at   Mr。   Musgrove¨s�察  �for   the   little   boy¨s 

state could no longer supply his aunt with a pretence for absenting 

herself�察�and this was but the beginning of other dinings and other 

meetings。 

    Whether former feelings were to be renewed   must  be brought 

to   the   proof�察  �former   times   must   undoubtedly   be   brought   to   the 

recollection of each�察�they could not but be reverted to�察�the year of 

their   engagement   could   not   but   be   named   by   him�察  �in   the   little 

narratives      or  descriptions     which    conversation      called   forth。   His 

profession      qualified   him�察  �his   disposition    lead   him�察  �to  talk�察 �and 

^That was in the year six�察院 �That happened before I went to sea in 

the year six�察院�occurred in the course of the first evening they spent 

together�此�and though his voice did not falter�察�and though she had 

no   reason   to   suppose   his   eye   wandering   towards         her   while   he 

spoke�察�Anne felt the utter impossibility�察�from her knowledge of his 

mind�察�that he could be unvisited by remembrance any more than 

herself。 There must be the same immediate association of thought�察�

though she was very far from conceiving it to be of equal pain。 

    They had no conversation together�察�no intercourse but what the 

commonest   civility   required。   Once   so   much   to   each   other�   �Now 

nothing� �There had been a  time�察  �when  of   all   the   large   party  now 

filling the drawing´room at Uppercross�察�they would have found it 

most difficult to cease to speak to one another。 With the exception�察�

perhaps�察    �of  Admiral     and   Mrs。   Croft�察  �who    seemed    particularly 

attached and happy�察。�Anne could allow no  other  exceptions   even 

among the married couples�� there could have been no two hearts 

so    open�察  �no   tastes   so   similar�察  �no   feelings   so   in  unison�察   �no 

countenances so beloved。 Now they were as strangers�察�nay�察�worse 

than strangers�察�for they could never become acquainted。 It was a 

perpetual estrangement。 

   When   he   talked�察  �she   heard   the   same   voice�察  �and   discerned   the 

same     mind。    There    was   a  very   general    ignorance     of  all  naval 

matters throughout the party�察�and he was very much questioned�察�

and especially by the two Miss Musgroves�察�who seemed hardly to 

have   any   eyes   but   for   him�察  �as   to   the   manner   of   living   on   board�察�

daily    regulations�察   �food�察  �hours�察  �&c。�察  �and    their  surprise    at  his 

accounts�察     �at   learning     the    degree     of   accommodation         and 

arrangement which was practicable�察�drew from him some pleasant 

ridicule�察�which reminded Anne of the early days when she too had 

been ignorant�察�and she too had been accused of supposing sailors 

to be living on board without anything to eat�察�or any cook to dress 

it if there were�察�or any servant to wait�察�or any knife and fork to use。 

   From thus listening and thinking�察�she was roused by a whisper 

of Mrs。 Musgrove¨s who�察�overcome by fond regrets�察�could not help 

saying�察�

    ^Ah� �Miss Anne�察�if it had pleased Heaven to spare my poor son�察�

I dare say he would have been just such another by this time。 ̄ 

   Anne      suppressed     a   smile�察  �and   listened   kindly�察   �while   Mrs。 

Musgrove relieved her heart a little more�察�and for a few minutes�察�

therefore�察    �could   not   keep    pace   with    the  conversation      of  the 

others。!When she could let her attention take   its   natural course 

again�察�she found the Miss Musgroves just fetching the navy´list!

��their  own   navy  list�察  �the  first   that   had   ever   been   at   Uppercross���察�

and sitting down together to pore over it�察�with the professed view 

of finding out the ships that Captain Wentworth had commanded。 

    ^Your first was the Asp�察�I remember�察�we will look for the Asp。 ̄ 

    ^You will not find her there。!Quite worn out and broken up。 I 

was   the    last   man  who   commanded         her。!Hardly   fit   for   service 

then。!Reported   fit   for   home   service   for   a   year   or   two�察  �and   so   I 

was sent off to the West Indies。 ̄

then�察�with sending a few hundred men to sea�察�in a ship not fit to be 

employed。 But they have a great many to provide for�察�and among 

the thousands that may just as well go to the   bottom   as   not�察�it  is 

impossible for them to distinguish the very  set  who  may  be   least 

missed。 ̄

fellows talk� �Never was a better sloop than the Asp in her  day。! 

For an old built sloop�察�you would not see her equal。 Lucky fellow 

to  get   her� �He   knows   there   must   have   been   twenty   better   men 

than himself applying for her at the same time。 Lucky fellow to get 

anything so soon�察�with no more interest than his。 ̄

Wentworth�察        �seriously。!^I       was    as    well   satisfied     with    my 

appointment  as   you   can   desire。   It   was   a   great   object   with   me   at 

that time to be at sea�察�a very great object�察�I wanted to be doing 

something。 ̄ 

    ^To be sure you did。!What should a young fellow like you do 

ashore for half a year together�拭�If a man had not a wife�察�he soon 

wants to be afloat again。 ̄
