large enclosures�察�where the ploughs at work�察�and the fresh made
path spoke the farmer counteracting the sweets of poetical
despondence�察�and meaning to have spring again�察�they gained the
summit of the most considerable hill�察 �which parted Uppercross
and Winthrop�察�and soon commanded a full view of the latter�察�at the
foot of the hill on the other side。
Winthrop�察 �without beauty and without dignity�察 �was stretched
before them�察 �an indifferent house�察 �standing low�察�and hemmed in
by the barns and buildings of a farm´yard。
Mary exclaimed�察 �Bless me� �here is Winthrop!I declare I had
no idea� �well�察 �now I think we had better turn back�察 �I am
excessively tired。 ̄
Henrietta�察 �conscious and ashamed�察 �and seeing no cousin
Charles walking along any path�察�or leaning against any gate�察�was
ready to do as Mary wished�察�but ^No� 院�said Charles Musgrove�察�and
^No�察�no� 院�cried Louisa more eagerly�察 �and taking her sister aside�察�
seemed to be arguing the matter warmly。
Charles�察 �in the meanwhile�察 �was very decidedly declaring his
resolution of calling on his aunt�察�now that he was so near�察�and very
evidently�察 �though more fearfully�察 �trying to induce his wife to go
too。 But this was one of the points on which the lady shewed her
strength�察 �and when he recommended the advantage of resting
herself a quarter of an hour at Winthrop�察�as she felt so tired�察�she
resolutely answered�察 �Oh� �no�察�indeed� �walking up that hill again
would do her more harm than any sitting down could do her
good�察院�and�察�in short�察�her look and manner declared�察�that go she
would not。
After a little succession of these sort of debates and
consultations�察�it was settled between Charles and his two sisters�察�

that he and Henrietta should just run down for a few minutes�察�to
see their aunt and cousins�察�while the rest of the party waited for
them at the top of the hill。 Louisa seemed the principal arranger of
the plan�察 �and�察 �as she went a little way with them�察 �down the hill�察�
still talking to Henrietta�察 �Mary took the opportunity of looking
scornfully around her�察�and saying to Captain Wentworth�察�
^It is very unpleasant�察 �having such connexions� �But�察 �I assure
you�察�I have never been in the house above twice in my life。 ̄
She received no other answer�察 �than an artificial�察 �assenting
smile�察 �followed by a contemptuous glance�察 �as he turned away�察�
which Anne perfectly knew the meaning of。
The brow of the hill�察�where they remained�察�was a cheerful spot�此�
Louisa returned�察�and Mary�察�finding a comfortable seat for herself
on the step of a stile�察�was very well satisfied so long as the others
all stood about her�察 �but when Louisa drew Captain Wentworth
away�察�to try for a gleaning of nuts in an adjoining hedge´row�察�and
they were gone by degrees quite out of sight and sound�察�Mary was
happy no longer�察 �she quarrelled with her own seat�察�was sure
Louisa had got a much better somewhere�察�and nothing could
prevent her from going to look for a better also。 She turned
through the same gate�察�but could not see them。 Anne found a
nice seat for her�察 �on a dry sunny bank�察 �under the hedge´row�察 �in
which she had no doubt of their still being!in some spot or other。
Mary sat down for a moment�察 �but it would not do�察 �she was sure
Louisa had found a better seat somewhere else�察�and she would go
on till she overtook her。
Anne�察 �really tired herself�察 �was glad to sit down�察 �and she very
soon heard Captain Wentworth and Louisa in the hedge´row�察�
behind her�察�as if making their way back along the rough�察�wild sort

of channel�察 �down the centre。 They were speaking as they drew
near。 Louisa¨s voice was the first distinguished。 She seemed to be
in the middle of some eager speech。 What Anne first heard was�察�
^And so�察 �I made her go。 I could not bear that she should be
frightened from the visit by such nonsense。 What� �would I be
turned back from doing a thing that I had determined to do�察�and
that I knew to be right�察 �by the airs and interference of such a
person�察�or of any person I may say�拭�No�察�I have no idea of being
so easily persuaded。 When I have made up my mind�察�I have made
it�察�and Henrietta seemed entirely to have made up hers to call at
Winthrop to´day�察�and yet�察 �she was as near giving it up�察 �out of
nonsensical complaisance� 院�
^She would have turned back then�察�but for you�拭院�
^She would indeed。 I am almost ashamed to say it。 ̄
^Happy for her�察�to have such a mind as yours at hand� �After
the hints you gave just now�察 �which did but confirm my own
observations�察�the last time I was in company with him�察�I need not
affect to have no comprehension of what is going on。 I see that
more than a mere dutiful morning´visit to your aunt was in
question�察�and woe betide him�察 �and her too�察 �when it comes to
things of consequence�察 �when they are placed in circumstances
requiring fortitude and strength of mind�察�if she have not resolution
enough to resist idle interference in such a trifle as this。 Your
sister is an amiable creature�察�but yours is the character of decision
and firmness�察�I see。 If you value her conduct or happiness�察�infuse
as much of your own spirit into her as you can。 But this�察�no doubt�察�
you have been always doing。 It is the worst evil of too yielding and
indecisive a character�察�that no influence over it can be depended
on。!You are never sure of a good impression being durable。

Everybody may sway it。 Let those who would be happy be firm。!
Here is a nut�察院�said he�察�catching one down from an upper bough。
^To exemplify�察�a beautiful glossy nut�察 �which�察 �blessed with
original strength�察 �has outlived all the storms of autumn。 Not a
puncture�察 �not a weak spot anywhere。!This nut�察院 �he continued�察�
with playful solemnity�察�^while so many of his brethren have
fallen and been trodden under foot�察�is still in possession of all the
happiness that a hazel nut can be supposed capable of。 ̄ Then
returning to his former earnest tone!^My first wish for all whom I
am interested in�察�is that they should be firm。 If Louisa Musgrove
