instrument on the dancing being over�察�and he had sat down to try 

to make out an air which he wished to give the Miss Musgroves an 

idea of。 Unintentionally she returned to that part of the room�察�he

                              CHAPTER IX 



           aptain Wentworth was come to Kellynch as to a home�察�to 

           stay as long as he liked�察�being as thoroughly the object of 

 C 

           the   Admiral¨s   fraternal kindness as   of  his   wife¨s。   He   had 

intended�察�on first arriving�察�to proceed   very  soon   into  Shropshire�察�

and visit the brother settled in that country�察�but the attractions of 

Uppercross   induced   him   to   put   this   off。   There   was   so   much   of 

friendliness�察�and of flattery�察�and of everything most bewitching in 

his   reception    there�察  �the  old   were   so   hospitable�察   �the  young    so 

agreeable�察�that he could not but resolve to remain where he was�察�

and   take   all   the   charms   and   perfections   of   Edward¨s   wife   upon 

credit a little longer。 

   It   was    soon   Uppercross      with    him   almost    every    day。   The 

Musgroves could hardly be more ready to invite than he to come�察�

particularly in the morning�察�when he had no companion at home�察�

for   the   Admiral     and   Mrs。   Croft   were    generally    out   of  doors 

together�察  �interesting   themselves       in  their   new   possessions�察   �their 

grass�察�and their sheep�察�and dawdling about in a way not endurable 

to   a   third   person�察  �or   driving   out   in   a   gig�察  �lately   added   to   their 

establishment。 

   Hitherto there had been but one opinion of Captain Wentworth 

among the   Musgroves   and   their  dependencies。 It  was   unvarying�察�

warm   admiration   everywhere�察  �but   this   intimate   footing   was   not 

more   than   established�察  �when   a   certain   Charles   Hayter   returned 

among      them�察  �to  be   a  good   deal   disturbed    by   it�察 �and  to  think 

Captain Wentworth very much in the way。

    Charles   Hayter   was   the   eldest   of   all   the   cousins�察  �and   a   very 

amiable�察�pleasing young man�察�between whom and Henrietta there 

had   been   a   considerable   appearance   of   attachment   previous   to 

Captain Wentworth¨s introduction。 He was in orders�察�and having a 

curacy in  the  neighbourhood�察  �where  residence  was not  required�察�

lived   at   his  father¨s    house�察   �only   two   miles    from   Uppercross。   A 

short  absence  from   home  had   left   his   fair   one   unguarded   by   his 

attentions at this critical period�察  �and   when  he   came back   he   had 

the   pain   of   finding   very   altered   manners�察  �and   of   seeing   Captain 

Wentworth。 

    Mrs。   Musgrove   and   Mrs。   Hayter   were   sisters。   They   had   each 

had money�察�but their marriages had made a material difference in 

their degree of consequence。 Mr。 Hayter had some property of his 

own�察�but it was insignificant compared with Mr。 Musgrove¨s�察�and 

while     the   Musgroves       were    in  the   first  class   of  society    in   the 

country�察  �the   young   Hayters   would�察  �from   their   parents¨   inferior�察�

retired�察   �and    unpolished      way    of  living�察  �and   their   own    defective 

education�察     �have    been    hardly     in  any   class   at   all�察 �but  for   their 

connexion   with   Uppercross�察  �this   eldest   son   of   course   excepted�察�

who   had   chosen   to  be   a   scholar   and   a   gentleman�察  �and   who   was 

very superior in cultivation and manners to all the rest。 

    The   two   families   had   always       been    on   excellent   terms�察    �there 

being   no   pride   on   one   side�察  �and   no   envy   on   the   other�察  �and   only 

such   a    consciousness       of  superiority     in  the   Miss   Musgroves�察      �as 

made       them      pleased      to    improve       their    cousins。!Charles¨s 

attentions      to  Henrietta      had   been    observed      by   her   father    and 

mother      without     any    disapprobation。       ^It  would     not   be   a  great 

match   for   her�察  �but   if   Henrietta     liked   him�察院�and        Henrietta  did 

seem to like him。

    Henrietta   fully   thought   so   herself�察  �before   Captain   Wentworth 

came�察  �but   from   that   time   Cousin   Charles   had   been   very   much 

forgotten。 

    Which of the two  sisters   was preferred   by  Captain   Wentworth 

was   as   yet   quite   doubtful�察  �as   far   as   Anne¨s   observation   reached。 

Henrietta was perhaps the prettiest�察�Louisa had the higher spirits�察�

and she knew not now�察�whether the more gentle or the more lively 

character were most likely to attract him。 

    Mr。   and   Mrs。   Musgrove�察  �either   from   seeing   little�察  �or   from   an 

entire confidence in the discretion of both their daughters�察�and of 

all   the    young     men     who    came     near    them�察    �seemed      to  leave 

everything       to   take    its  chance。     There     was    not    the   smallest 

appearance   of   solicitude   or   remark   about   them   in   the   Mansion´ 

house�察�but it was different at the Cottage�此�the young couple there 

were     more     disposed      to  speculate      and    wonder�察     �and    Captain 

Wentworth   had         not   been   above   four   or   five   times   in  the   Miss 

Musgroves¨         company�察       �and     Charles      Hayter      had     but    just 

reappeared�察       �when    Anne     had    to  listen   to  the   opinions     of  her 

brother and sister�察�as to which was the one liked best。 Charles gave 

it for Louisa�察�Mary for Henrietta�察�but quite agreeing  that  to  have 

him marry either could be extremely delightful。 

    Charles ^had never seen a pleasanter man in his life�察�and from 

what he had once heard Captain Wentworth himself say�察�was very 

sure that he had not made less   than   twenty  thousand pounds   by 

the war。 Here was a   fortune   at  once�察�besides   which�察  �there   would 

be   the   chance   of   what   might   be   done   in   any   future   war�察  �and   he 

was   sure   Captain   Wentworth   was   as   likely   a   man   to   distinguish 

himself as any officer in the navy。 Oh� �it would be a capital match 

for either of his sisters。 ̄
