introduction。 I should have visited Admiral Croft�察�however�察�at any 

rate。 I know what is due to my tenant。 ̄ 

   Anne could listen no longer�察�she could not even have told how 

the poor Admiral¨s complexion escaped�察�her letter engrossed her。 

It had been begun several days back。

^My dear Anne�察�

    ^I   make   no   apology   for   my   silence�察  �because   I   know   how   little 

people think of letters in such a place as Bath。 You must be a great 

deal  too  happy  to  care   for  Uppercross�察  �which�察  �as   you   well   know�察�

affords   little   to   write   about。   We   have   had   a   very   dull   Christmas�察�

Mr。   and   Mrs。   Musgrove   have   not   had   one   dinner   party   all          the 

holidays。   I   do  not   reckon   the   Hayters   as   anybody。   The   holidays�察�

however�察�are over at last�此�I believe no children ever had such long 

ones。 I am sure I had not。 The house was cleared yesterday�察�except 

of the little Harvilles�察�but you will be surprised to hear they have 

never   gone   home。   Mrs。   Harville   must   be   an   odd   mother   to   part 

with them so long。 I do not understand it。 They are not at all nice 

children�察  �in   my   opinion�察  �but   Mrs。   Musgrove   seems   to   like   them 

quite as well�察�if not better�察�than her grandchildren。 What dreadful 

weather  we  have  had�  �It  may not  be   felt in   Bath�察  �with   your   nice 

pavements�察  �but  in   the   country   it   is   of   some   consequence。   I   have 

not had a creature call on me since the  second   week in   January�察�

except   Charles   Hayter�察  �who   had   been   calling   much   oftener   than 

was welcome。 Between ourselves�察�I think it a great pity Henrietta 

did not remain at Lyme as long as Louisa�察�it would have kept her a 

little out of his way。 The   carriage   is   gone   to´day�察  �to  bring  Louisa 

and the Harvilles to´morrow。 We are not asked to dine with them�察�

however�察�till the day after�察�Mrs。 Musgrove is so afraid of her being 

fatigued by  the   journey�察  �which  is not  very  likely�察  �considering  the 

care    that    will  be   taken    of  her�察   �and   it  would     be   much     more 

convenient to me to dine there to´morrow。 I am glad you find Mr。 

Elliot so agreeable�察�and wish I could be acquainted with him too�察�

but  I   have  my  usual   luck�察  �I   am   always   out   of   the   way   when   any

thing   desirable   is   going   on�察  �always   the   last   of   my   family   to   be 

noticed。 What an immense  time   Mrs。 Clay  has been staying  with 

Elizabeth�  �Does she   never  mean   to  go   away�拭  �But   perhaps   if   she 

were   to   leave   the   room   vacant   we   might   not   be   invited。   Let   me 

know   what   you   think   of   this。   I   do   not   expect   my   children   to   be 

asked�察�you know。 I can leave them at the   Great  House   very  well�察�

for a month or six weeks。 I have this moment heard that the Crofts 

are    going   to   Bath   almost   immediately�察        �they   think   the   Admiral 

gouty。   Charles   heard   it   quite   by   chance�此  �they   have   not   had   the 

civility to give me any notice�察�or of offering to take anything。 I do 

not   think   they   improve   at   all   as   neighbours。   We   see   nothing   of 

them�察  �and   this   is   really   an   instance   of   gross   inattention。   Charles 

joins me in love�察�and everything proper。 

                                                           Yours affectionately�察�

                                                                         ^Mary M!。 

    ^I am sorry to say that I am very far from well�察�and Jemima has 

just told me that the butcher says there is a bad sore´throat  very 

much  about。   I   dare   say  I shall   catch  it�察�and   my  sore´throats�察  �you 

know�察�are always worse than anybody¨s。 ̄ 



     So ended the first part�察�which had been afterwards put into an 

envelope�察�containing nearly as much more。 



     ^I kept my letter open�察�that I might send you word how Louisa 

bore   her   journey�察  �and   now   I   am   extremely   glad   I   did�察  �having   a 

great deal to add。 In the first place�察�I had a note from   Mrs。   Croft 

yesterday�察�offering to convey anything to you�察�a very kind�察�friendly 

note indeed�察�addressed to me�察�just as it ought�察�I shall therefore be 

able   to   make   my   letter   as   long   as   I   like。   The   Admiral   does   not

seem very ill�察�and I sincerely hope Bath will do him all the good he 

wants。      I  shall   be    truly   glad    to  have     them     back    again。     Our 

neighbourhood cannot spare such a pleasant family。 But now  for 

Louisa。   I   have   something   to   communicate   that   will   astonish   you 

not   a   little。   She   and   the   Harvilles   came   on   Tuesday   very   safely�察�

and in the evening we went to ask her how she did�察�when we were 

rather surprised not to find Captain Benwick of the party�察�for  he 

had been invited as well as the Harvilles�察�and   what  do  you  think 

was the reason�拭�Neither more nor less than his being in love with 

Louisa�察�and not choosing to venture to Uppercross till he had had 

an answer from Mr。 Musgrove�察�for it was all settled between him 

and her before she came away�察�and he had written to her father by 

Captain Harville。 True�察�upon my honour� �Are not you astonished�拭�

I shall be surprised at least if you ever received a hint of  it�察  �for  I 

never did。 Mrs。 Musgrove protests solemnly that she knew nothing 

of the matter。 We are all very well pleased�察�however�察�for though it 

is   not   equal   to   her   marrying   Captain   Wentworth�察  �it   is   infinitely 

better   than   Charles   Hayter�察  �and         Mr。    Musgrove      has    written    his 

consent�察  �and   Captain   Benwick   is   expected   to´day。   Mrs。   Harville 

says   her   husband   feels   a   good   deal   on   his   poor   sister¨s   account�察�

but�察�however�察�Louisa is   a  great  favourite   with  both。   Indeed�察  �Mrs。 

Harville and   I   quite agree   that  we   love   her  the   better   for   having 

nursed   her。   Charles   wonders   what   Captain   Wentworth   will   say�察�

but   if   you   remember�察  �I   never   thought   him   attached   to   Louisa�察  �I 

never   could   see   anything   of   it。   And   this   is   the   end�察  �you   see�察  �of 

Captain Benwick¨s being supposed to be an admirer of yours。 How 

Charles       could    take    such    a   thing    into    his   head    was     always 

incomprehensible   to   me。   I   hope   he   will   be   more   agreeable   now。 

Certainly   not   a   great   match   for   Louisa   Musgrove�察  �but   a   million

times better than marrying among the Hayters。 ̄ 



    Mary   need   not   have   feared     her   sister¨s  being   in  any   degree 

prepared      for  the   news。    She   had   never    in  her   life  been   more 

astonished。 Captain Benwick and Louisa Musgrove� �It was almost 

too wonderful for belief�察�and it was with the greatest effort that she 

could remain in the room�察�preserve an air of calmness�察�and answer 

the common questions of the moment。
