small house in their own neighbourhood�察 �where they might still
have Lady Russell¨s society�察�still be near Mary�察�and still have the
pleasure of sometimes seeing the lawns and groves of Kellynch�察�
was the object of her ambition。 But the usual fate of Anne
attended her�察 �in having something very opposite from her
inclination fixed on。 She disliked Bath�察�and did not think it agreed
with her!and Bath was to be her home。
Sir Walter had at first thought more of London�察 �but Mr。
Shepherd felt that he could not be trusted in London�察 �and had
been skilful enough to dissuade him from it�察 �and make Bath
preferred。 It was a much safer place for a gentleman in his
predicament�此�he might there be important at comparatively little
expense。!Two material advantages of Bath over London had of
course been given all their weight�察 �its more convenient distance
from Kellynch�察�only fifty miles�察�and Lady Russell¨s spending some

part of every winter there�察 �and to the very great satisfaction of
Lady Russell�察�whose first views on the projected change had been
for Bath�察 �Sir Walter and Elizabeth were induced to believe that
they should lose neither consequence nor enjoyment by settling
there。
Lady Russell felt obliged to oppose her dear Anne¨s known
wishes。 It would be too much to expect Sir Walter to descend into
a small house in his own neighbourhood。 Anne herself would have
found the mortifications of it more than she foresaw�察 �and to Sir
Walter¨s feelings they must have been dreadful。 And with regard
to Anne¨s dislike of Bath�察 �she considered it as a prejudice and
mistake arising�察 �first�察 �from the circumstance of her having been
three years at school there�察�after her mother¨s death�察�and secondly�察�
from her happening to be not in perfectly good spirits the only
winter which she had afterwards spent there with herself。
Lady Russell was fond of Bath�察�in short�察�and disposed to think it
must suit them all�察�and as to her young friend¨s health�察�by passing
all the warm months with her at Kellynch Lodge�察 �every danger
would be avoided�察�and it was in fact�察�a change which must do both
health and spirits good。 Anne had been too little from home�察 �too
little seen。 Her spirits were not high。 A larger society would
improve them。 She wanted her to be more known。
The undesirableness of any other house in the same
neighbourhood for Sir Walter was certainly much strengthened by
one part�察�and a very material part of the scheme�察�which had been
happily engrafted on the beginning。 He was not only to quit his
home�察�but to see it in the hands of others�察�a trial of fortitude�察�which
stronger heads than Sir Walter¨s have found too much。!Kellynch
Hall was to be let。 This�察�however�察�was a profound secret�察�not to be

breathed beyond their own circle。
Sir Walter could not have borne the degradation of being
known to design letting his house。 Mr。 Shepherd had once
mentioned the word ^advertise�察院�but never dared approach it
again。 Sir Walter spurned the idea of its being offered in any
manner�察�forbad the slightest hint being dropped of his having such
an intention�察 �and it was only on the supposition of his being
spontaneously solicited by some most unexceptionable applicant�察�
on his own terms�察�and as a great favour�察�that he would let it at all。
How quick come the reasons for approving what we like� �Lady
Russell had another excellent one at hand�察 �for being extremely
glad that Sir Walter and his family were to remove from the
country。 Elizabeth had been lately forming an intimacy�察�which she
wished to see interrupted。 It was with the daughter of Mr。
Shepherd�察�who had returned�察�after an unprosperous marriage�察�to
her father¨s house�察�with the additional burden of two children。 She
was a clever young woman�察�who understood the art of pleasing!
the art of pleasing�察�at least�察�at Kellynch Hall�察�and who had made
herself so acceptable to Miss Elliot�察�as to have been already staying
there more than once�察 �in spite of all that Lady Russell�察 �who
thought it a friendship quite out of place�察�could hint of caution and
reserve。
Lady Russell�察 �indeed�察 �had scarcely any influence with
Elizabeth�察�and seemed to love her�察�rather because she would love
her�察 �than because Elizabeth deserved it。 She had never received
from her more than outward attention�察 �nothing beyond the
observances of complaisance�察 �had never succeeded in any point
which she wanted to carry�察�against previous inclination。 She had
been repeatedly very earnest in trying to get Anne included in the

visit to London�察 �sensibly open to all the injustice and all the
discredit of the selfish arrangements which shut her out�察 �and on
many lesser occasions had endeavoured to give Elizabeth the
advantage of her own better judgment and experience!but
always in vain�察�Elizabeth would go her own way!and never had
she pursued it in more decided opposition to Lady Russell than in
this selection of Mrs。 Clay�察�turning from the society of so deserving
a sister�察�to bestow her affection and confidence on one who ought
to have been nothing to her but the object of distant civility。
From situation�察 �Mrs。 Clay was�察 �in Lady Russell¨s estimate�察 �a
very unequal�察�and in her character she believed a very dangerous
companion!and a removal that would leave Mrs。 Clay behind�察�
and bring a choice of more suitable intimates within Miss Elliot¨s
reach�察�was therefore an object of first´rate importance。

down the newspaper�察 �that the present juncture is
much in our favour。 This peace will be turning all our rich naval
officers ashore。 They will be all wanting a home。 Could not be a
