arranged everything before the others began to reflect。 Captain
Benwick must give up his room to them�察 �and get another bed
elsewhere!and the whole was settled。 They were only concerned
that the house could accommodate no more�察�and yet perhaps�察�by
^putting the children away in the maid¨s room�察�or swinging a cot
somewhere�察院�they could hardly bear to think of not finding room
for two or three besides�察 �supposing they might wish to stay�察�
though�察 �with regard to any attendance on Miss Musgrove�察 �there
need not be the least uneasiness in leaving her to Mrs。 Harville¨s
care entirely。 Mrs。 Harville was a very experienced nurse�察�and her
nursery´maid�察�who had lived with her long�察�and gone about with
her everywhere�察 �was just such another。 Between these two�察 �she
could want no possible attendance by day or night。 And all this

was said with a truth and sincerity of feeling irresistible。
Charles�察 �Henrietta�察 �and Captain Wentworth were the three in
consultation�察 �and for a little while it was only an interchange of
perplexity and terror。 ^Uppercross�察�the necessity of some one¨s
going to Uppercross�察�the news to be conveyed!how it could be
broken to Mr。 and Mrs。 Musgrove�察�the lateness of the morning!
an hour already gone since they ought to have been off�察�the
impossibility of being in tolerable time。 ̄ At first�察�they were capable
of nothing more to the purpose than such exclamations�察�but�察�after
a while�察�Captain Wentworth�察�exerting himself�察�said�察�
^We must be decided�察�and without the loss of another minute。
Every minute is valuable。 Some one must resolve on being off for
Uppercross instantly。 Musgrove�察�either you or I must go。 ̄
Charles agreed�察�but declared his resolution of not going away。
He would be as little incumbrance as possible to Captain and Mrs。
Harville�察 �but as to leaving his sister in such a state�察 �he neither
ought�察 �nor would。 So far it was decided�察 �and Henrietta at first
declared the same。 She�察 �however�察 �was soon persuaded to think
differently。 The usefulness of her staying� �She who had not been
able to remain in Louisa¨s room�察 �or to look at her�察 �without
sufferings which made her worse than helpless� �She was forced to
acknowledge that she could do no good�察�yet was still unwilling to
be away�察�till�察�touched by the thought of her father and mother�察�she
gave it up�察�she consented�察�she was anxious to be at home。
The plan had reached this point�察 �when Anne�察 �coming quietly
down from Louisa¨s room�察 �could not but hear what followed�察 �for
the parlour door was open。
^Then it is settled�察�Musgrove�察院�cried Captain Wentworth�察 �that
you stay�察 �and that I take care of your sister home。 But as to the

rest�察�as to the others�察�If one stays to assist Mrs。 Harville�察�I think
it need be only one。!Mrs。 Charles Musgrove will�察�of course�察�wish
to get back to her children�察�but if Anne will stay�察�no one so proper�察�
so capable as Anne� 院�
She paused a moment to recover from the emotion of hearing
herself so spoken of。 The other two warmly agreed with what he
said�察�and she then appeared。
^You will stay�察�I am sure�察�you will stay and nurse her�察院�cried he�察�
turning to her and speaking with a glow�察 �and yet a gentleness�察�
which seemed almost restoring the past。!She coloured deeply�察�
and he recollected himself and moved away。!She expressed
herself most willing�察�ready�察�happy to remain。 ^It was what she had
been thinking of�察�and wishing to be allowed to do。!A bed on the
floor in Louisa¨s room would be sufficient for her�察�if Mrs。 Harville
would but think so。 ̄
One thing more�察�and all seemed arranged。 Though it was rather
desirable that Mr。 and Mrs。 Musgrove should be previously
alarmed by some share of delay�察 �yet the time required by the
Uppercross horses to take them back�察 �would be a dreadful
extension of suspense�察 �and Captain Wentworth proposed�察 �and
Charles Musgrove agreed�察�that it would be much better for him to
take a chaise from the inn�察�and leave Mr。 Musgrove¨s carriage and
horses to be sent home the next morning early�察�when there would
be the farther advantage of sending an account of Louisa¨s night。
Captain Wentworth now hurried off to get everything ready on
his part�察�and to be soon followed by the two ladies。 When the plan
was made known to Mary�察�however�察�there was an end of all peace
in it。 She was so wretched and so vehement�察�complained so much
of injustice in being expected to go away instead of Anne�察�Anne�察�

who was nothing to Louisa�察�while she was her sister�察�and had the
best right to stay in Henrietta¨s stead� �Why was not she to be as
useful as Anne�拭 �And to go home without Charles�察 �too�察�without
her husband� �No�察�it was too unkind。 And in short�察 �she said more
than her husband could long withstand�察�and as none of the others
could oppose when he gave way�察 �there was no help for it�此 �the
change of Mary for Anne was inevitable。
Anne had never submitted more reluctantly to the jealous and
ill´judging claims of Mary�察�but so it must be�察�and they set off for
the town�察�Charles taking care of his sister�察�and Captain Benwick
attending to her。 She gave a moment¨s recollection�察 �as they
hurried along�察 �to the little circumstances which the same spots
had witnessed earlier in the morning。 There she had listened to
Henrietta¨s schemes for Dr。 Shirley¨s leaving Uppercross�察 �farther
on�察�she had first seen Mr。 Elliot�察�a moment seemed all that could
now be given to any one but Louisa�察�or those who were wrapt up
in her welfare。
Captain Benwick was most considerately attentive to her�察�and�察�
united as they all seemed by the distress of the day�察 �she felt an
increasing degree of good´will towards him�察�and a pleasure even in
thinking that it might�察�perhaps�察�be the occasion of continuing their
acquaintance。
Captain Wentworth was on the watch for them�察 �and a chaise
and four in waiting�察�stationed for their convenience in the lowest
part of the street�察 �but his evident surprise and vexation at the
substitution of one sister for the other�察 �the change in his
countenance!the astonishment!the expressions begun and
suppressed�察 �with which Charles was listened to�察 �made but a
mortifying reception of Anne�察 �or must at least convince her that

she was valued only as she could be useful to Louisa。
