they    were    to  go!Charles�察      �Mary�察   �Anne�察   �Henrietta�察    �Louisa�察   �and 

Captain Wentworth。 

    The   first  heedless scheme   had been   to  go  in   the   morning and 

return     at  night�察  �but   to  this  Mr。   Musgrove�察     �for  the   sake   of  his 

horses�察    �would    not   consent�察   �and    when    it  came    to  be   rationally 

considered�察  �a     day   in   the  middle   of   November   would   not   leave 

much time for seeing a new place�察�after deducting seven hours�察�as 

the nature of the country required�察�for going and returning。 They 

were�察�consequently�察�to stay the night there�察�and not to be expected 

back till the next day¨s dinner。 This was felt to be a considerable 

amendment�察�and though they all met at the Great House at rather 

an   early   breakfast   hour�察    �and    set   off  very   punctually�察   �it   was  so 

much   past   noon   before   the   two   carriages�察  �Mr。   Musgrove¨s   coach 

containing   the      four   ladies�察 �and    Charles¨s    curricle�察  �in  which     he 

drove     Captain     Wentworth�察      �were    descending      the   long   hill  into 

Lyme�察�and entering upon the still steeper street of the town itself�察�

that it was   very  evident  they  would   not  have   more   than   time   for 

looking about them�察�before the light and warmth of the day were 

gone。 

    After  securing accommodations�察  �and  ordering a   dinner   at   one 

of the inns�察�the next thing to be done was unquestionably to walk 

directly down to the sea。 They were come too late in the year for 

any  amusement  or  variety   which   Lyme�察  �as   a   public   place�察  �might 

offer。    The   rooms     were    shut    up�察 �the   lodgers     almost    all  gone�察�

scarcely     any   family    but   of  the   residents    left!and�察    �as  there    is 

nothing   to   admire   in     the   buildings    themselves�察    �the   remarkable 

situation of the town�察�the principal street almost hurrying into the 

water�察�the walk to the Cobb�察�skirting round the pleasant little bay�察�

which�察    �in  the   season�察   �is  animated     with    bathing    machines      and

with the very beautiful line of cliffs stretching out to the east of the 

town�察  �are   what   the   stranger¨s   eye   will   seek�察  �and   a   very   strange 

stranger   it   must   be�察  �who   does   not   see   charms   in   the   immediate 

environs of Lyme�察�to make him wish to know it better。 The scenes 

in   its  neighbourhood�察        �Charmouth�察      �with    its  high   grounds      and 

extensive sweeps of country�察�and still more�察�its sweet�察�retired bay�察�

backed   by   dark   cliffs�察  �where   fragments   of   low   rock       among   the 

sands�察�make it the happiest spot for watching the flow of the tide�察�

for   sitting   in   unwearied   contemplation�察�the   woody   varieties              of 

the   cheerful   village   of   Up   Lyme�察  �and�察  �above   all�察  �Pinny�察  �with   its 

green chasms between romantic rocks�察�where the scattered forest 

trees    and    orchards     of  luxuriant     growth�察    �declare    that   many     a 

generation must have passed away since the first partial falling of 

the   cliff   prepared   the   ground   for   such  a   state�察  �where   a   scene   so 

wonderful and so lovely is exhibited�察�as may more than equal any 

of   the   resembling   scenes       of  the  far´famed      Isle  of  Wight�此   �these 

places   must   be   visited�察  �and   visited   again�察  �to   make   the   worth   of 

Lyme understood。 

    The party from Uppercross passing down by the now deserted 

and   melancholy  looking   rooms�察  �and   still   descending�察  �soon   found 

themselves on the sea shore�察�and lingering only�察�as all must linger

and   on   Captain   Wentworth¨s   account�察  �for   in   a   small   house�察  �near 

the foot of an old pier of unknown date�察�were the Harvilles settled。 

Captain      Wentworth       turned    in   to  call  on   his  friend�察  �the   others 

walked on�察�and he was to join them on the Cobb。 

    They were by no means tired of wondering and admiring�察�and

not even Louisa seemed to feel that they had parted with Captain 

Wentworth        long�察  �when    they   saw    him    coming     after  them�察   �with 

three   companions�察  �all   well   known   already�察  �by   description�察  �to   be 

Captain      and   Mrs。    Harville�察   �and   a  Captain     Benwick�察     �who    was 

staying with them。 

    Captain Benwick had some time ago been first lieutenant of the 

Laconia�察�and the account which Captain Wentworth had given of 

him�察�on his return from Lyme before�察�his warm praise of him as an 

excellent young man and an officer�察�whom he   had always   valued 

highly�察�which must have stamped him well in the esteem of every 

listener�察  �had   been   followed   by   a   little   history   of   his   private   life�察�

which   rendered   him   perfectly   interesting   in   the   eyes   of   all   the 

ladies。 He had been engaged to Captain Harville¨s sister�察�and was 

now mourning her loss。 They had been a year or two waiting for 

fortune      and    promotion。       Fortune      came�察   �his    prize´money       as 

lieutenant  being   great�察�promotion�察  �too�察  �came   at  last�察  �but  Fanny 

Harville     did   not   live  to  know     it。  She  had    died   the   preceding 

summer       while    he   was    at  sea。  Captain     Wentworth       believed     it 

impossible      for   man    to  be  more     attached    to  woman      than    poor 

Benwick       had    been    to  Fanny     Harville�察   �or   to  be   more    deeply 

afflicted under the dreadful change。 He considered his disposition 

as   of   the  sort   which     must    suffer   heavily�察  �uniting    very    strong 

feelings  with  quiet�察  �serious�察  �and  retiring  manners�察�and   a  decided 

taste for reading�察�and sedentary pursuits。 To finish the interest of 

the story�察�the friendship between him and the Harvilles seemed�察�if 

possible�察 �augmented by  the   event  which  closed   all   their   views   of 

alliance�察�and Captain Benwick was now living with them entirely。 

Captain Harville had   taken   his present  house   for  half  a   year�察  �his 

taste�察   �and   his   health�察  �and    his  fortune�察   �all  directing    him    to  a

residence   inexpensive�察  �and   by   the   sea�察  �and   the   grandeur   of   the 

country�察    �and    the  retirement      of  Lyme     in  the  winter�察   �appeared 

exactly adapted to Captain Benwick¨s state of mind。 The sympathy 

and good´will excited towards Captain Benwick was very great。
