best only a divided attention to give�察�and seemed to have forgotten
all the former doubt and solicitude of the negotiation。
^Well�察 �I am very glad indeed�察 �but I always thought you would
have it�察�I always thought you sure。 It did not appear to me that!In
short�察 �you know�察 �Dr。 Shirley must have a curate�察 �and you had
secured his promise。 Is he coming�察�Louisa�拭院�
One morning�察 �very soon after the dinner at the Musgroves�察 �at
which Anne had not been present�察 �Captain Wentworth walked
into the drawing´room at the Cottage�察�where were only herself and
the little invalid Charles�察�who was lying on the sofa。
The surprise of finding himself almost alone with Anne Elliot�察�
deprived his manners of their usual composure�此 �he started�察 �and
could only say�察 �I thought the Miss Musgroves had been here!
Mrs。 Musgrove told me I should find them here�察院�before he walked
to the window to recollect himself�察 �and feel how he ought to
behave。
^They are up stairs with my sister!they will be down in a few
moments�察�I dare say�察院�had been Anne¨s reply�察�in all the confusion
that was natural�察�and if the child had not called her to come and

do something for him�察 �she would have been out of the room the
next moment�察�and released Captain Wentworth as well as herself。
He continued at the window�察 �and after calmly and politely
saying�察 �I hope the little boy is better�察院�was silent。
She was obliged to kneel down by the sofa�察�and remain there to
satisfy her patient�察�and thus they continued a few minutes�察�when�察�
to her very great satisfaction�察 �she heard some other person
crossing the little vestibule。 She hoped�察�on turning her head�察�to see
the master of the house�察 �but it proved to be one much less
calculated for making matters easy!Charles Hayter�察�probably not
at all better pleased by the sight of Captain Wentworth than
Captain Wentworth had been by the sight of Anne。
She only attempted to say�察 �How do you do�拭 �Will you not sit
down�拭�The others will be here presently。 ̄
Captain Wentworth�察 �however�察 �came from his window�察�
apparently not ill´disposed for conversation�察 �but Charles Hayter
soon put an end to his attempts by seating himself near the table�察�
and taking up the newspaper�察�and Captain Wentworth returned to
his window。
Another minute brought another addition。 The younger boy�察�a
remarkable stout�察 �forward child�察 �of two years old�察 �having got the
door opened for him by some one without�察 �made his determined
appearance among them�察�and went straight to the sofa to see what
was going on�察�and put in his claim to any thing good that might be
giving away。
There being nothing to eat�察�he could only have some play�察�and
as his aunt would not let him tease his sick brother�察 �he began to
fasten himself upon her�察�as she knelt�察�in such a way that�察�busy as
she was about Charles�察�she could not shake him off。 She spoke to

him!ordered�察 �entreated�察 �and insisted in vain。 Once she did
contrive to push him away�察�but the boy had the greater pleasure in
getting upon her back again directly。
^Walter�察院�said she�察 �get down this moment。 You are extremely
troublesome。 I am very angry with you。 ̄
^Walter�察院�cried Charles Hayter�察 �why do you not do as you are
bid�拭�Do not you hear your aunt speak�拭�Come to me�察�Walter�察�come
to cousin Charles。 ̄
But not a bit did Walter stir。
In another moment�察�however�察�she found herself in the state of
being released from him�察 �some one was taking him from her�察�
though he had bent down her head so much�察�that his little sturdy
hands were unfastened from around her neck�察 �and he was
resolutely borne away�察 �before she knew that Captain Wentworth
had done it。
Her sensations on the discovery made her perfectly speechless。
She could not even thank him。 She could only hang over little
Charles�察 �with most disordered feelings。 His kindness in stepping
forward to her relief!the manner!the silence in which it had
passed!the little particulars of the circumstance!with the
conviction soon forced on her by the noise he was studiously
making with the child�察�that he meant to avoid hearing her thanks�察�
and rather sought to testify that her conversation was the last of
his wants�察�produced such a confusion of varying�察�but very painful
agitation�察 �as she could not recover from�察 �till enabled by the
entrance of Mary and the Miss Musgroves to make over her little
patient to their cares�察 �and leave the room。 She could not stay。 It
might have been an opportunity of watching the loves and
jealousies of the four�察�they were now altogether�察�but she could stay

for none of it。 It was evident that Charles Hayter was not well
inclined towards Captain Wentworth。 She had a strong impression
of his having said�察 �in a vext tone of voice�察 �after Captain
Wentworth¨s interference�察 �You ought to have minded me�察�Walter�察�
I told you not to teaze your aunt�察院 �and could comprehend his
regretting that Captain Wentworth should do what he ought to
have done himself。 But neither Charles Hayter¨s feelings�察 �nor
anybody¨s feelings�察 �could interest her�察 �till she had a little better
arranged her own。 She was ashamed of herself�察�quite ashamed of
being so nervous�察�so overcome by such a trifle�察�but so it was�察�and it
required a long application of solitude and reflection to recover
her。

ther opportunities of making her observations could not
fail to occur。 Anne had soon been in company with all the
O
four together often enough to have an opinion�察 �though
too wise to acknowledge as much at home�察 �where she knew it
would have satisfied neither husband nor wife�察 �for while she
considered Louisa to be rather the favourite�察 �she could not but
think�察 �as far as she might dare to judge from memory and
experience�察 �that Captain Wentworth was not in love with either。
They were more in love with him�察�yet there it was not love。 It was
a little fever of admiration�察�but it might�察�probably must�察�end in love
with some。 Charles Hayter seemed aware of being slighted�察 �and
yet Henrietta had sometimes the air of being divided between
them。 Anne longed for
