the fainter self´threatenings of the past became in a decided tone�察�

^I must call on Mrs。 Croft�察�I really must call upon her soon。 Anne�察�

have you courage to go with me�察�and pay a visit in that house�拭�It 

will be some trial to us both。 ̄ 

    Anne   did not  shrink   from   it�察  �on   the   contrary�察  �she   truly   felt   as 

she said�察�in observing�察�

    ^I think you are very likely to suffer the most of the two�察�your 

feelings are less reconciled to the change than mine。 By remaining 

in the neighbourhood�察�I am become inured to it。 ̄ 

    She could have said more on the subject�察�for she had in fact so 

high  an   opinion   of   the   Crofts�察  �and   considered   her   father   so   very 

fortunate   in   his   tenants�察  �felt   the   parish   to   be   so   sure   of   a   good 

example�察     �and    the   poor    of  the   best   attention     and    relief�察 �that 

however sorry and ashamed for the necessity of the removal�察�she 

could not but in conscience feel that they were gone who deserved 

not  to  stay�察  �and   that  Kellynch  Hall   had   passed   into better  hands 

than     its  owners¨。    These    convictions     must    unquestionably        have 

their  own   pain�察  �and  severe   was   its  kind�察 �but  they  precluded   that 

pain which Lady Russell would suffer in entering the house again�察�

and returning through the well´known apartments。 

    In   such    moments      Anne     had   no   power    of  saying    to  herself�察�

^These rooms ought to belong only to us。 Oh�察�how fallen   in   their 

destination� �How unworthily occupied� �An ancient family to be so 

driven   away�   �Strangers   filling  their   place� 院  �No�察  �except   when   she 

thought of her mother�察�and remembered where she had been used 

to sit and preside�察�she had no sigh of that description to heave。 

    Mrs。 Croft always met her with a kindness which gave her the 

pleasure      of  fancying     herself    a  favourite�察   �and    on   the   present 

occasion�察     �receiving     her    in  that    house�察   �there    was    particular

attention。 

    The sad accident at Lyme was soon the prevailing topic�察�and on 

comparing   their   latest   accounts   of   the   invalid�察  �it   appeared   that 

each   lady   dated     her   intelligence    from    the   same    hour   of   yester 

morn�察�that Captain Wentworth had been in Kellynch yesterday! 

��the first time since the accident�� had brought Anne the last note�察�

which she had not been able to trace the exact steps of�察�had staid a 

few   hours   and   then   returned   again   to   Lyme!and            without   any 

present intention of quitting it any more。!He had enquired after 

her�察   �she   found�察   �particularly�察�had        expressed     his   hope    of  Miss 

Elliot¨s not being the worse  for  her  exertions�察  �and   had spoken   of 

those     exertions    as   great。!This      was    handsome�察�and          gave    her 

more pleasure than almost anything else could have done。 

    As   to   the   sad   catastrophe   itself�察  �it   could   be   canvassed   only   in 

one style by a couple of steady�察�sensible women�察�whose judgments 

had   to   work   on   ascertained   events�察  �and   it   was   perfectly   decided 

that   it   had   been   the   consequence   of   much   thoughtlessness   and 

much imprudence�察�that its effects were most alarming�察�and that it 

was   frightful   to  think�察  �how  long  Miss   Musgrove¨s   recovery   might 

yet   be   doubtful�察  �and   how   liable   she   would   still   remain   to   suffer 

from      the   concussion       hereafter� �The        Admiral      wound      it   up 

summarily by exclaiming�察�

    ^Ay�察�a very bad business indeed。!A new sort of way this�察�for a 

young fellow to be making love�察�by breaking his mistress¨s head� � 

is   not   it�察�Miss    Elliot�拭�This       is  breaking     a  head    and   giving   a 

plaister�察�truly� 院�

    Admiral Croft¨s manners were not quite of the tone to suit Lady 

Russell�察    �but   they   delighted     Anne。     His   goodness     of   heart   and 

simplicity of character were irresistible。

    ^Now�察�this must be very bad for you�察院�said he�察�suddenly rousing 

from a little reverie�察 �to be coming and finding us here。!I had not 

recollected   it   before�察  �I   declare�察�but   it   must   be   very   bad。!But 

now�察  �do   not   stand   upon   ceremony。!Get   up   and   go   over   all   the 

rooms in the house if you like it。 ̄ 

    ^Another time�察�Sir�察�I thank you�察�not now。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察    �whenever      it  suits   you。!You        can   slip   in   from    the 

shrubbery       at  any   time�察   �and   there    you   will  find   we    keep   our 

umbrellas hanging up by that door。 A good   place is not  it�拭 �But�察院�

��checking   himself���察   �you   will   not   think   it  a   good   place�察  �for   yours 

were always kept in the butler¨s room。 Ay�察�so it always is�察�I believe。 

One man¨s ways may be as good as another¨s�察�but we all like our 

own best。 And so you must judge for yourself�察�whether it would be 

better for you to go about the house or not。 ̄ 

    Anne�察�finding she might decline it�察�did so�察�very gratefully。 

    ^We     have    made     very    few    changes     either�察院   �continued      the 

Admiral�察�after thinking a moment。 ^Very few。!We told you about 

the    laundry´door�察     �at  Uppercross。       That   has    been    a  very   great 

improvement。 The wonder was�察�how any family upon earth could 

bear with the inconvenience of its opening as it did�察�so long� �You 

will   tell   Sir   Walter   what   we   have   done�察  �and   that   Mr。   Shepherd 

thinks it the greatest improvement the house ever had。  Indeed�察�I 

must   do   ourselves   the   justice   to   say�察  �that   the   few   alterations   we 

have made have been all very much for the better。 My wife should 

have   the   credit  of   them�察  �however。   I   have   done   very  little besides 

sending away some of the large looking´glasses from my dressing´ 

room�察�which was your father¨s。 A very good man�察�and very much 

the gentleman I am sure!but I should think�察�Miss Elliot�察院。�looking 

with serious reflection���察 �I should think he must be rather a dressy

man   for   his   time   of   life。!Such   a   number   of   looking´glasses�   �oh 

Lord� �there was no getting away from one¨s self。 So I got Sophy to 

lend me a hand�察�and we soon shifted their quarters�察�and now I am 

quite snug�察�with my little shaving glass in one corner�察�and another 

great thing that I never go near。 ̄ 

    Anne�察�amused   in   spite   of  herself�察  �was   rather   distressed   for   an 

answer�察  �and   the   Admiral�察  �fearing   he   might   not   have   been   civil 

enough�察�took up the subject again�察�to say�察�

    ^The next time you write to your good father�察�Miss Elliot�察�pray 

give   him   my   compliments   and   Mrs。   Croft¨s�察  �and   say   that   we   are 

settled here quite to our liking�察�and have no fault at all to find with 

the place。 The breakfast´room chimney smokes a little�察�I grant you�察�

but it is only when the wind is due north  and   blows   hard�察 �which 

may not happen three times a winter。 And take it altogether�察�now
