    Anne was to leave them on the morrow�察�an event which they all 

dreaded。 ^What should they do without her�拭�They were wretched 

comforters   for   one   another。 ̄   And   so   much   was   said   in   this   way�察�

that   Anne   thought   she   could   not   do   better   than   impart   among 

them      the   general     inclination     to   which     she   was    privy�察   �and 

persuaded them all to go to Lyme at once。 She had little difficulty�察�

it  was    soon   determined       that   they   would    go�察 �go   to´morrow�察     �fix 

themselves at the inn�察�or get into lodgings�察�as it suited�察�and there

remain till dear Louisa could be moved。 They  must  be  taking  off 

some   trouble   from   the   good   people   she   was   with�察  �they   might   at 

least relieve Mrs。 Harville from the care of her own children�察�and 

in   short�察  �they    were    so  happy     in  the   decision�察   �that   Anne     was 

delighted   with   what   she   had   done�察  �and   felt   that   she      could   not 

spend her last morning at Uppercross better than in assisting their 

preparations�察�and   sending  them   off   at  an   early   hour�察  �though   her 

being left to the solitary range of the house was the consequence。 

    She   was   the   last�察  �excepting   the   little   boys   at   the   cottage�察  �she 

was the very last�察�the only remaining one of all that had filled and 

animated       both    houses�察    �of  all   that   had    given    Uppercross       its 

cheerful character。 A few days had made a change indeed� �

    If  Louisa     recovered�察    �it  would    all  be   well   again。   More     than 

former happiness would be restored。 There could not be a doubt�察�

to her mind there was none�察�of what would follow her recovery。 A 

few months hence�察�and the room now so deserted�察�occupied but by 

her   silent�察  �pensive   self�察  �might   be    filled  again   with   all  that   was 

happy and gay�察�all that was glowing and bright in prosperous love�察�

all that was most unlike Anne Elliot� �

dark November day�察�a small thick rain almost blotting out the very 

few objects ever to be discerned from the windows�察�was enough to 

make the sound of  Lady  Russell¨s carriage  exceedingly  welcome�察�

and     yet�察 �though     desirous     to  be   gone�察   �she   could    not   quit   the 

Mansion   House�察  �or   look   an   adieu   to   the   Cottage�察  �with   its   black�察�

dripping      and   comfortless      veranda�察    �or  even    notice    through     the 

misty glasses the last  humble   tenements   of  the   village�察  �without  a 

saddened heart。!Scenes had passed in Uppercross which made it 

precious。     It   stood   the  record    of   many   sensations      of  pain�察  �once

severe�察    �but   now    softened�察    �and   of  some     instances     of  relenting 

feeling�察  �some   breathings   of   friendship   and   reconciliation�察  �which 

could never be looked for again�察�and which could never cease to be 

dear。   She left  it  all behind   her�察�all   but   the   recollection   that   such 

things had been。 

    Anne     had    never    entered     Kellynch     since    her   quitting    Lady 

Russell¨s house in September。 It had not been necessary�察�and the 

few occasions of its being possible for her to go to the Hall she had 

contrived      to  evade     and   escape     from。    Her   first  return     was   to 

resume   her   place   in   the   modern   and   elegant   apartments   of   the 

Lodge�察�and to gladden the eyes of its mistress。 

    There     was    some    anxiety     mixed     with   Lady     Russell¨s    joy  in 

meeting   her。   She   knew   who   had   been   frequenting   Uppercross。 

But happily�察�either Anne was improved in plumpness and looks�察�or 

Lady      Russell     fancied     her    so�察  �and    Anne�察    �in   receiving     her 

compliments   on   the   occasion�察  �had   the   amusement   of   connecting 

them with the silent admiration of her cousin�察�and of hoping that 

she was to be blessed with a second spring of youth and beauty。 

    When   they   came   to   converse�察  �she   was   soon   sensible   of   some 

mental change。 The subjects of which her heart had been full   on 

leaving     Kellynch�察    �and    which     she   had    felt  slighted�察   �and   been 

compelled   to   smother   among   the   Musgroves�察  �were   now   become 

but   of   secondary   interest。   She   had   lately   lost   sight   even   of   her 

father and sister and Bath。 Their concerns had   been   sunk   under 

those    of   Uppercross�察     �and   when     Lady    Russell    reverted     to  their 

former hopes and fears�察�and spoke her satisfaction in the house in 

Camden´place�察  �which   had   been   taken�察  �and   her   regret   that   Mrs。 

Clay should still be with them�察�Anne would have been ashamed to 

have   it   known   how   much   more   she   was   thinking   of   Lyme   and

Louisa Musgrove�察�and all her acquaintance there�察�how much more 

interesting to her was the home and the friendship of the Harvilles 

and   Captain   Benwick�察  �than   her   own   father¨s   house   in   Camden´ 

place�察   �or   her   own    sister¨s   intimacy     with    Mrs。    Clay。   She    was 

actually forced to exert herself to meet Lady Russell with anything 

like   the   appearance   of   equal   solicitude�察  �on   topics   which   had   by 

nature the first claim on her。 

    There   was   a   little   awkwardness   at   first   in   their   discourse   on 

another subject。   They  must speak   of  the   accident  at  Lyme。   Lady 

Russell had not been arrived five minutes the day before�察�when a 

full   account   of   the   whole   had   burst   on   her�察  �but   still   it   must   be 

talked      of�察 �she    must     make     enquiries�察     �she    must    regret     the 

imprudence�察  �lament   the   result�察  �and   Captain   Wentworth¨s   name 

must be mentioned by both。 Anne was conscious of not doing it so 

well   as   Lady   Russell。   She   could   not   speak   the   name�察  �and   look 

straight   forward   to   Lady   Russell¨s   eye�察  �till   she   had   adopted   the 

expedient of telling her briefly what she thought of the attachment 

between him and Louisa。 When this was told�察�his name distressed 

her no longer。 

    Lady   Russell   had      only   to   listen   composedly�察  �and      wish   them 

happy�察     �but  internally     her   heart   revelled    in   angry    pleasure�察   �in 

pleased contempt�察�that the man who at twenty´three had seemed 

to   understand   somewhat   of   the   value   of   an   Anne   Elliot�察  �should�察�

eight years afterwards�察�be charmed by a Louisa Musgrove。 

    The     first  three   or   four   days    passed    most     quietly�察  �with    no 

circumstance to mark them excepting the receipt of a note or two 

from Lyme�察�which found their way to Anne�察�she could not tell how�察�

and brought a rather improving account of Louisa。 At the   end   of 

that period�察�Lady Russell¨s politeness could repose no longer�察�and
