conversation。 For�察 �though shy�察 �he did not seem reserved�察 �it had
rather the appearance of feelings glad to burst their usual
restraints�察�and having talked of poetry�察�the richness of the present
age�察�and gone through a brief comparison of opinion as to the first´

Lake were to be preferred�察 �and how ranked the Giaour and The
Bride of Abydos�察 �and moreover�察 �how the Giaour was to be
pronounced�察�he showed himself so intimately acquainted with all
the tenderest songs of the one poet�察 �and all the impassioned

descriptions of hopeless agony of the other�察�he repeated�察�with such
tremulous feeling�察�the various lines which imaged a broken heart�察�
or a mind destroyed by wretchedness�察�and looked so entirely as if
he meant to be understood�察�that she ventured to hope he did not
always read only poetry�察 �and to say�察 �that she thought it was the
misfortune of poetry to be seldom safely enjoyed by those who
enjoyed it completely�察 �and that the strong feelings which alone
could estimate it truly were the very feelings which ought to taste
it but sparingly。
His looks shewing him not pained�察 �but pleased with this
allusion to his situation�察�she was emboldened to go on�察�and feeling
in herself the right of seniority of mind�察 �she ventured to
recommend a larger allowance of prose in his daily study�察�and on
being requested to particularize�察 �mentioned such works of our
best moralists�察�such collections of the finest letters�察�such memoirs
of characters of worth and suffering�察 �as occurred to her at the
moment as calculated to rouse and fortify the mind by the highest
precepts�察 �and the strongest examples of moral and religious
endurance。
Captain Benwick listened attentively�察 �and seemed grateful for
the interest implied�察 �and though with a shake of the head�察 �and
sighs which declared his little faith in the efficacy of any books on
grief like his�察�noted down the names of those she recommended�察�
and promised to procure and read them。
When the evening was over�察�Anne could not but be amused at
the idea of her coming to Lyme to preach patience and resignation
to a young man whom she had never seen before�察 �nor could she
help fearing�察 �on more serious reflection�察 �that�察 �like many other
great moralists and preachers�察�she had been eloquent on a point in

CHAPTER XII
nne and Henrietta�察�finding themselves the earliest of the
Aparty the next morning�察�agreed to stroll down to the sea
before breakfast。!They went to the sands�察 �to watch the
flowing of the tide�察 �which a fine south´easterly breeze was
bringing in with all the grandeur which so flat a shore admitted。
They praised the morning�察�gloried in the sea�察�sympathized in the
delight of the fresh´feeling breeze!and were silent�察�till Henrietta
suddenly began again�察�with�察�
^Oh� �yes�察�I am quite convinced that�察�with very few exceptions�察�
the sea´air always does good。 There can be no doubt of its having
been of the greatest service to Dr。 Shirley�察 �after his illness�察 �last
spring twelve´month。 He declares himself�察 �that coming to Lyme
for a month�察 �did him more good than all the medicine he took�察�
and�察 �that being by the sea�察 �always makes him feel young again。
Now�察�I cannot help thinking it a pity that he does not live entirely
by the sea。 I do think he had better leave Uppercross entirely�察�and
fix at Lyme。!Do not you�察�Anne�拭�Do not you agree with me�察�that
it is the best thing he could do�察 �both for himself and Mrs。
Shirley�拭�She has cousins here�察 �you know�察 �and many
acquaintance�察 �which would make it cheerful for her�察�and I am
sure she would be glad to get to a place where she could have
medical attendance at hand�察�in case of his having another seizure。
Indeed I think it quite melancholy to have such excellent people as
Dr。 and Mrs。 Shirley�察 �who have been doing good all their lives�察�
wearing out their last days in a place like Uppercross�察 �where�察�

excepting our family�察�they seem shut out from all the world。 I wish
his friends would propose it to him。 I really think they ought。 And�察�
as to procuring a dispensation�察�there could be no difficulty at his
time of life�察 �and with his character。 My only doubt is�察 �whether
anything could persuade him to leave his parish。 He is so very
strict and scrupulous in his notions�察 �over´scrupulous I must say。
Do not you think�察 �Anne�察 �it is being over´scrupulous�拭 �Do not you
think it is quite a mistaken point of conscience�察�when a clergyman
sacrifices his health for the sake of duties�察 �which may be just as
well performed by another person�拭�And at Lyme too�察�only
seventeen miles off�察�he would be near enough to hear�察�if people
thought there was anything to complain of。 ̄
Anne smiled more than once to herself during this speech�察�and
entered into the subject�察�as ready to do good by entering into the
feelings of a young lady as of a young man�察�though here it was
good of a lower standard�察 �for what could be offered but general
acquiescence�拭�She said all that was reasonable and proper on
the business�察�felt the claims of Dr。 Shirley to repose�察�as she ought�察�
saw how very desirable it was that he should have some active�察�
respectable young man�察 �as a resident curate�察 �and was even
courteous enough to hint at the advantage of such resident
curate¨s being married。
^I wish�察院�said Henrietta�察�very well pleased with her companion�察�
^I wish Lady Russell lived at Uppercross�察�and were intimate with
Dr。 Shirley。 I have always heard of Lady Russell as a woman of the
greatest influence with everybody� �I always look upon her as able
to persuade a person to anything� �I am afraid of her�察�as I have told
you before�察�quite afraid of her�察�because she is so very clever�察�but I
respect her amazingly�察 �and wish we had such a neighbour at

Uppercross。 ̄
