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

the common questions of the moment。 Happily for her�察�they were 

not many。 Sir Walter wanted to know whether the Crofts travelled 

with   four   horses�察  �and   whether   they   were   likely   to   be   situated   in 

such a part of Bath as it might suit Miss Elliot and himself to visit 

in�察�but had little curiosity beyond。

answer�察 �And pray what brings the Crofts to Bath�拭院�

    ^They     come    on   the  Admiral¨s     account。    He   is  thought    to  be 

gouty。 ̄ 

    ^Gout and decrepitude� 院�said Sir Walter。 ^Poor old gentleman。 ̄ 

    ^Have they any acquaintance here�拭院�asked Elizabeth。 

    ^I   do  not   know�察   �but   I  can  hardly    suppose    that�察  �at  Admiral 

Croft¨s time of life�察�and in his profession�察�he should not have many 

acquaintance in such a place as this。 ̄ 

    ^I suspect�察院�said Sir Walter coolly�察   �that Admiral  Croft  will   be 

best known in Bath as the renter of Kellynch Hall。 Elizabeth�察�may 

we venture to present him and his wife in Laura´place�拭院�

    ^Oh�察�no� �I think not。 Situated as we are with Lady Dalrymple�察�

cousins�察  �we   ought   to   be   very   careful   not   to   embarrass   her   with 

acquaintance   she   might   not   approve。   If   we   were   not   related�察  �it 

would not signify�察�but as cousins�察�she would feel scrupulous as to 

any proposal of ours。 We had better leave the Crofts to find their

own level。 There are several odd´looking men walking about here�察�

who�察�I am told�察�are sailors。 The Crofts will associate with them。 ̄ 

    This   was   Sir   Walter   and   Elizabeth¨s   share   of   interest   in   the 

letter�察   �when     Mrs。   Clay    had   paid    her   tribute    of  more    decent 

attention�察�in an enquiry after Mrs。 Charles Musgrove�察�and her fine 

little boys�察�Anne was at liberty。 

    In   her   own    room�察    �she   tried   to  comprehend        it。  Well  might 

Charles   wonder  how  Captain Wentworth  would   feel�   �Perhaps   he 

had quitted the field�察�had given Louisa up�察�had ceased to love�察�had 

found     he   did   not   love  her。   She    could   not   endure     the  idea    of 

treachery or levity�察�or anything akin to ill´usage between him and 

his   friend。   She could not  endure   that  such  a   friendship as   theirs 

should be severed unfairly。 

    Captain      Benwick      and    Louisa    Musgrove�       �The    high´spirited�察�

joyous´talking       Louisa     Musgrove�察      �and    the   dejected�察    �thinking�察�

feeling�察    �reading�察     �Captain     Benwick�察      �seemed      each     of   them 

everything       that   would     not   suit  the   other。    Their    minds     most 

dissimilar�   �Where       could   have    been    the   attraction�拭  �The     answer 

soon     presented     itself。  It   had   been   in   situation。  They   had    been 

thrown together several weeks�察�they had been living  in   the   same 

small family party�察�since Henrietta¨s coming away�察�they must have 

been   depending   almost   entirely   on   each   other�察  �and   Louisa�察  �just 

recovering       from   illness�察  �had   been    in  an   interesting     state�察 �and 

Captain   Benwick   was   not   inconsolable。   That   was   a   point   which 

Anne had not been able to avoid suspecting before�察�and instead of 

drawing the same conclusion as Mary�察�from the present course of 

events�察�they served only to confirm the idea of his having felt some 

dawning of tenderness toward herself。 She did not mean�察�however�察�

to derive much more from it to gratify her vanity�察�than Mary might

have     allowed。    She    was   persuaded      that   any   tolerably    pleasing 

young woman who had listened and seemed to feel for him would 

have received the same compliment。 He had an affectionate heart。 

He must love somebody。 

    She saw no reason against  their  being  happy。   Louisa   had   fine 

naval fervour to begin with�察�and they would soon grow more alike。 

He     would    gain    cheerfulness�察    �and    she   would     learn   to   be   an 

enthusiast for Scott and Lord Byron�察�nay�察�that was probably learnt 

already�察�of course they had fallen in love over poetry。 The idea of 

Louisa      Musgrove      turned    into   a  person     of  literary   taste�察  �and 

sentimental   reflection   was   amusing�察  �but   she   had   no   doubt   of   its 

being so。 The day at Lyme�察�the fall from the Cobb�察�might influence 

her health�察�her nerves�察�her courage�察�her character to the end of her 

life�察�as thoroughly as it appeared to have influenced her fate。 

    The   conclusion   of   the   whole   was�察  �that   if   the   woman   who   had 

been sensible of Captain Wentworth¨s merits could be allowed   to 

prefer     another    man�察   �there    was   nothing    in   the  engagement       to 

excite lasting wonder�察�and if Captain Wentworth lost no friend by 

it�察  �certainly   nothing   to   be   regretted。   No�察  �it   was   not   regret   which 

made Anne¨s heart beat in spite of herself�察�and brought the colour 

into     her   cheeks     when      she   thought      of  Captain      Wentworth 

unshackled        and   free。   She    had   some     feelings   which     she   was 

ashamed   to   investigate。   They   were   too   much   like   joy�察  �senseless 

joy� �

    She longed to see the Crofts�察�but when the meeting took place�察�

it was evident that no rumour of the news had yet reached them。 

The     visit   of  ceremony       was    paid   and    returned�察    �and    Louisa 

Musgrove was mentioned�察�and Captain Benwick�察�too�察�without even 

half a smile。

    The    Crofts   had    placed   themselves   in   lodgings   in      Gay´street�察�

perfectly to Sir Walter¨s satisfaction。 He was not at all ashamed of 

the acquaintance�察�and did�察�in fact�察�think and talk a great deal more 

about the Admiral�察�than the Admiral ever thought or talked about 

him。 

    The Crofts knew quite as many people in Bath as they wished 

for�察  �and   considered   their   intercourse   with   the   Elliots   as   a   mere 

matter   of   form�察   �and   not   in  the   least   likely  to  afford   them    any 

pleasure。   They   brought   with   them   their   country   habit   of   being 

almost   always   together。   He   was   ordered   to   walk   to   keep   off   the 

gout�察�and Mrs。 Croft seemed to go shares with him in everything�察�

and to walk for her life to do him good。 Anne saw them wherever 

she went。 Lady Russell took her out in her carriage almost every 

morning�察�and she never failed to think of them�察�and never failed to 

see    them。    Knowing       their   feelings   as   she   did�察  �it  was   a   most 

attractive picture of happiness to her。 She always watched them as 

long   as   she   could�察  �delighted   to   fancy   she   understood   what   they 

might be talking of�察�as they walked along in happy independence�察�

or equally delighted to see the Admiral¨s hearty shake of the hand 

when he encountered an old friend�察�and observe their eagerness of 

conversation   when   occasionally   forming   into   a   little   knot   of   the 

navy�察   �Mrs。    Croft   looking   as   intelligent   and   keen    as   any   of  the 

officers around her。 

    Anne     was   too   much   engaged       with   Lady   Russell     to   b
