agony of silence。 ^She is dead� �she is dead� 院 �screamed Mary�察�
catching hold of her husband�察 �and contributing with his own
horror to make him immoveable�察 �and in another moment�察�
Henrietta�察 �sinking under the conviction�察 �lost her senses too�察 �and
would have fallen on the steps�察�but for Captain Benwick and Anne�察�
who caught and supported her between them。
^Is there no one to help me�拭院�were the first words which burst
from Captain Wentworth�察�in a tone of despair�察�and as if all his own
strength were gone。
^Go to him�察 �go to him�察院 �cried Anne�察 �for heaven¨s sake go to
him。 I can support her myself。 Leave me�察�and go to him。 Rub her
hands�察�rub her temples�察�here are salts�察�take them�察�take them。 ̄
Captain Benwick obeyed�察 �and Charles at the same moment�察�
disengaging himself from his wife�察 �they were both with him�察 �and
Louisa was raised up and supported more firmly between them�察�
and everything was done that Anne had prompted�察 �but in vain�察�
while Captain Wentworth�察 �staggering against the wall for his
support�察�exclaimed in the bitterest agony�察�
^Oh God� �her father and mother� 院�
^A surgeon� 院�said Anne。
He caught the word�察�it seemed to rouse him at once�察�and saying
only ^True�察�true�察�a surgeon this instant�察院�was darting away�察�when
Anne eagerly suggested!
^Captain Benwick�察�would not it be better for Captain Benwick�拭�
He knows where a surgeon is to be found。 ̄
Every one capable of thinking felt the advantage of the idea�察�
and in a moment ��it was all done in rapid moments�� Captain
Benwick had resigned the poor corpse´like figure entirely to the
brother¨s care�察�and was off for the town with the utmost rapidity。

As to the wretched party left behind�察 �it could scarcely be said
which of the three�察 �who were completely rational�察 �was suffering
most�此 �Captain Wentworth�察 �Anne�察 �or Charles�察 �who�察 �really a very
affectionate brother�察 �hung over Louisa with sobs of grief�察 �and
could only turn his eyes from one sister�察�to see the other in a state
as insensible�察 �or to witness the hysterical agitations of his wife�察�
calling on him for help which he could not give。
Anne�察 �attending with all the strength and zeal�察 �and thought�察�
which instinct supplied�察 �to Henrietta�察 �still tried�察 �at intervals�察 �to
suggest comfort to the others�察 �tried to quiet Mary�察 �to animate
Charles�察 �to assuage the feelings of Captain Wentworth。 Both
seemed to look to her for directions。
^Anne�察�Anne�察院�cried Charles�察 �What is to be done next�拭�What�察�
in heaven¨s name�察�is to be done next�拭院�
Captain Wentworth¨s eyes were also turned towards her。
^Had not she better be carried to the inn�拭�Yes�察�I am sure�此�carry
her gently to the inn。 ̄
^Yes�察 �yes�察 �to the inn�察院 �repeated Captain Wentworth�察�
comparatively collected�察�and eager to be doing something。 ^I will
carry her myself。 Musgrove�察�take care of the others。 ̄
By this time the report of the accident had spread among the
workmen and boatmen about the Cobb�察�and many were collected
near them�察�to be useful if wanted�察�at any rate�察�to enjoy the sight of
a dead young lady�察�nay�察�two dead young ladies�察�for it proved twice
as fine as the first report。 To some of the best´looking of these
good people Henrietta was consigned�察 �for�察 �though partially
revived�察�she was quite helpless�察�and in this manner�察�Anne walking
by her side�察 �and Charles attending to his wife�察 �they set forward�察�
treading back with feelings unutterable�察 �the ground�察 �which so

lately�察�so very lately�察�and so light of heart�察�they had passed along。
They were not off the Cobb�察 �before the Harvilles met them。
Captain Benwick had been seen flying by their house�察 �with a
countenance which showed something to be wrong�察�and they had
set off immediately�察�informed and directed as they passed�察�towards
the spot。 Shocked as Captain Harville was�察�he brought senses and
nerves that could be instantly useful�察�and a look between him and
his wife decided what was to be done。 She must be taken to their
house!all must go to their house!and await the surgeon¨s arrival
there。 They would not listen to scruples�此�he was obeyed�察�they were
all beneath his roof�察 �and while Louisa�察 �under Mrs。 Harville¨s
direction�察�was conveyed up stairs�察�and given possession of her own
bed�察 �assistance�察 �cordials�察 �restoratives were supplied by her
husband to all who needed them。
Louisa had once opened her eyes�察�but soon closed them again�察�
without apparent consciousness。 This had been a proof of life�察�
however�察�of service to her sister�察 �and Henrietta�察 �though perfectly
incapable of being in the same room with Louisa�察�was kept�察�by the
agitation of hope and fear�察�from a return of her own insensibility。
Mary�察�too�察�was growing calmer。
The surgeon was with them almost before it had seemed
possible。 They were sick with horror�察 �while he examined�察 �but he
was not hopeless。 The head had received a severe contusion�察�but
he had seen greater injuries recovered from�此�he was by no means
hopeless�察�he spoke cheerfully。
That he did not regard it as a desperate case!that he did not
say a few hours must end it!was at first felt�察�beyond the hope of
most�察�and the ecstasy of such a reprieve�察 �the rejoicing�察 �deep and
silent�察�after a few fervent ejaculations of gratitude to Heaven had

been offered�察�may be conceived。
The tone�察 �the look�察 �with which ^Thank God� 院 �was uttered by
Captain Wentworth�察 �Anne was sure could never be forgotten by
her�察�nor the sight of him afterwards�察�as he sat near a table�察�leaning
over it with folded arms and face concealed�察�as if overpowered by
the various feelings of his soul�察�and trying by prayer and reflection
to calm them。
Louisa¨s limbs had escaped。 There was no injury but to the
head。
It now became necessary for the party to consider what was
best to be done�察�as to their general situation。 They were now able
to speak to each other and consult。 That Louisa must remain
where she was�察�however distressing to her friends to be involving
the Harvilles in such trouble�察�did not admit a doubt。 Her removal
was impossible。 The Harvilles silenced all scruples�察�and�察�as much
as they could�察 �all gratitude。 They had looked forward and
arranged everything before the others began to r
