nothing      suspicious      or   inconsistent�察    �nothing      to  require     more 

motives       than    appeared�察      �in   Mr。    Elliot¨s    great    desire    of   a 

reconciliation。 In Lady Russell¨s view�察�it was perfectly natural that 

Mr。 Elliot�察�at a mature time of life�察�should feel it a most desirable 

object�察�and what would very generally recommend him among all 

sensible people�察�to be on good terms with the head   of  his   family�察�

the   simplest   process   in   the   world   of   time   upon   a   head   naturally 

clear�察  �and   only   erring   in   the   heyday   of   youth。   Anne   presumed�察�

however�察�still to smile about it�察�and at last to mention ^Elizabeth。 ̄

Lady   Russell   listened�察  �and   looked�察  �and   made   only   this   cautious 

reply�此 �Elizabeth� �very well�察�time will explain。 ̄ 

    It  was    a  reference     to  the  future�察   �which    Anne�察   �after   a  little 

observation�察�felt she must submit to。 She could determine nothing 

at present。 In that house   Elizabeth  must  be   first�察  �and   she   was   in 

the   habit   of   such   general   observance   as   ^Miss   Elliot�察院  �that   any 

particularity of attention seemed almost impossible。 Mr。 Elliot�察�too�察�

it must be remembered�察�had not been a widower seven months。 A 

little delay on his side might be very excusable。 In fact�察�Anne could 

never see the crape round his hat�察�without fearing that she was the 

inexcusable       one�察  �in   attributing    to  him    such    imaginations�察     �for 

though his marriage had not been very happy�察�still it had existed 

so    many     years   that   she   could    not   comprehend        a   very   rapid 

recovery from the awful impression of its being dissolved。 

    However       it  might    end�察  �he   was    without    any    question     their 

pleasantest  acquaintance   in   Bath�察  �she   saw   nobody   equal   to   him�察�

and it was a great indulgence now and then to talk to  him   about 

Lyme�察�which he seemed to have as lively a wish to see again�察�and 

to   see   more   of�察  �as   herself。   They   went   through   the   particulars   of 

their first meeting a great many times。 He gave her to understand 

that he had looked at her with some earnestness。 She knew it well�察�

and she remembered another person¨s look also。 

    They     did   not   always     think   alike。   His    value    for  rank    and 

connexion she perceived was greater than hers。 It was not merely 

complaisance�察  �it   must  be   a   liking   to   the   cause�察  �which   made   him 

enter warmly into  her  father  and   sister¨s   solicitudes   on a   subject 

which she thought unworthy to excite them。 The Bath paper one 

morning       announced        the   arrival   of   the   Dowager       Viscountess 

Dalrymple�察�and her daughter�察�the Honourable Miss Carteret�察�and

all the comfort of No。 !�察�Camden´place�察�was swept away for many 

days�察  �for  the   Dalrymples  ��in Anne¨s   opinion�察  �most   unfortunately�� 

were   cousins   of  the   Elliots�察�and   the   agony   was   how   to   introduce 

themselves properly。 

    Anne   had   never   seen   her   father   and   sister   before   in   contact 

with nobility�察�and she must acknowledge herself disappointed。 She 

had     hoped     better    things    from    their   high    ideas    of  their   own 

situation   in   life�察  �and   was   reduced   to   form   a   wish   which  she   had 

never foreseen!a wish that they had more pride�察�for ^our cousins 

Lady       Dalrymple        and     Miss     Carteret�察院       �our     cousins�察     �the 

Dalrymples�察院�sounded in her ears all day long。 

    Sir   Walter   had   once   been   in   company   with   the   late   Viscount�察�

but had never seen any of the rest of the family�察�and the difficulties 

of   the   case   arose    from    there   having     been    a  suspension       of  all 

intercourse   by   letters   of   ceremony�察  �ever   since   the   death   of   that 

said late Viscount�察�when�察�in consequence of a dangerous illness of 

Sir Walter¨s at the same time�察�there had been an unlucky omission 

at Kellynch。 No letter of condolence had been sent to Ireland。 The 

neglect had been visited on the head of the sinner�察�for when poor 

Lady   Elliot   died   herself�察  �no   letter   of   condolence   was   received   at 

Kellynch�察  �and�察  �consequently�察  �there   was   but   too   much   reason   to 

apprehend        that   the   Dalrymples       considered      the   relationship     as 

closed。   How   to   have   this   anxious   business   set   to   rights�察  �and   be 

admitted as cousins again�察�was the question�察�and it was a question 

which�察  �in   a   more   rational   manner�察  �neither   Lady   Russell   nor   Mr。 

Elliot    thought     unimportant。        ^Family      connexions      were     always 

worth     preserving�察     �good    company       always     worth    seeking�察    �Lady 

Dalrymple   had   taken   a   house�察  �for   three   months�察  �in   Laura´place�察�

and would be living in style。 She had been at Bath the year before�察�

and Lady Russell had heard her spoken of as a charming woman。 

It was very desirable that the connexion   should   be   renewed�察 �if  it 

could be done�察�without any compromise of propriety on the side of 

the Elliots。 ̄ 

    Sir Walter�察�however�察�would choose his own means�察�and at  last 

wrote a very fine letter of ample explanation�察�regret�察�and entreaty�察�

to his right honourable cousin。 Neither Lady Russell nor Mr。 Elliot 

could admire the letter�察�but it did all that was wanted�察�in bringing 

three lines of scrawl from the Dowager Viscountess。 ^She was very 

much honoured�察�and should be happy in their acquaintance。 ̄ The 

toils of the business were over�察�the sweets began。 They visited in 

Laura´place�察       �they    had    the    cards    of   Dowager       Viscountess 

Dalrymple�察      �and   the  Honourable       Miss   Carteret�察   �to  be  arranged 

wherever they might be most visible�察�and ^Our cousins in Laura´ 

place�察院�^Our   cousin�察  �Lady   Dalrymple   and   Miss   Carteret�察院  �were 

talked of to everybody。 

   Anne      was   ashamed。     Had    Lady   Dalrymple   and       her   daughter 

even   been   very  agreeable�察  �she   would   still   have   been   ashamed   of 

the   agitation   they   created�察  �but   they   were   nothing。   There   was   no 

superiority   of   manner�察  �accomplishment�察  �or   understanding。   Lady 

Dalrymple       had    acquired     the   name     of  ^a   charming      woman�察院�

because   she   had   a   smile   and   a   civil   answer   for   everybody。   Miss 

Carteret�察�with still less to say�察�was so plain and so awkward�察�that 

she would never have been tolerated in Camden´place but for her 

birth。 

    Lady Russell confessed she had expected something better�察�but 

yet   ^it  was    an   acquaintance      worth    having�察院    �and   when     Anne 

ventured to speak her opinion of them to Mr。 Elliot�察�he agreed to 

their  being nothing  in   themselves�察�but  still   maintained   that�察  �as   a
