pleasure   of   sometimes   seeing   the   lawns   and   groves   of   Kellynch�察�

inclination fixed on。 She disliked Bath�察�and did not think it agreed 

with her!and Bath was to be her home。

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。

officers   ashore。  They  will  be all   wanting a   home。   Could   not   be   a
