    ^Indeed you are mistaken there�察�sir�察�I should never augur want 

of    spirit   from    Captain      Benwick¨s      manners。       I  thought     them 

particularly pleasing�察�and I will answer for it�察�they would generally 

please。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察  �well�察  �ladies   are   the   best   judges�察  �but   James   Benwick   is 

rather     too   piano    for  me�察   �and   though     very   likely   it  is  all  our 

partiality�察�Sophy and I cannot help thinking Frederick¨s manners 

better than his。 There   is  something  about  Frederick   more   to  our 

taste。 ̄ 

    Anne      was   caught。     She   had    only   meant     to   oppose     the   too 

common        idea   of  spirit   and   gentleness     being    incompatible      with 

each other�察�not at all to represent Captain Benwick¨s manners as 

the very best that could   possibly  be�察�and�察�after  a   little   hesitation�察�

she was beginning to say�察 �I was not entering into any comparison 

of the two friends�察院�but the Admiral interrupted her with�察�

    ^And the thing is  certainly  true。   It  is not  a mere   bit  of  gossip。 

We have it from Frederick himself。 His sister had a letter from him 

yesterday�察  �in   which   he   tells   us   of   it�察  �and   he   had   just   had   it   in   a 

letter   from   Harville�察  �written   upon   the   spot�察  �from   Uppercross。          I 

fancy they are all at Uppercross。 ̄ 

    This was an opportunity which Anne could not resist�察�she said�察�

therefore�察 �I hope�察�Admiral�察�I hope there is nothing in the style of 

Captain       Wentworth¨s        letter    to   make      you    and     Mrs。    Croft 

particularly uneasy。 It did seem�察�last autumn�察�as if there were an

attachment between him and Louisa Musgrove�察�but I hope it may 

be understood to have worn out on each side equally�察�and without 

violence。 I hope his letter does not breathe the spirit of an ill´used 

man。 ̄ 

    ^Not  at   all�察  �not   at   all�察  �there   is   not   an   oath   or   a   murmur   from 

beginning to end。 ̄ 

   Anne looked down to hide her smile。 

    ^No�察�no�察�Frederick is not a man to whine and complain�察�he has 

too much spirit for that。 If the girl likes   another  man   better�察  �it  is 

very fit she should have him。 ̄ 

    ^Certainly。 But what I mean is�察�that I hope there is nothing in 

Captain Wentworth¨s manner of writing to  make   you  suppose   he 

thinks    himself    ill´used   by  his  friend�察  �which    might    appear�察   �you 

know�察�without its being absolutely said。 I should be very sorry that 

such     a  friendship    as  has   subsisted     between     him    and   Captain 

Benwick        should     be    destroyed�察     �or   even     wounded�察       �by   a 

circumstance of this sort。 ̄ 

    ^Yes�察�yes�察�I understand you。 But there is nothing at all   of  that 

nature   in  the   letter。   He   does not   give   the   least   fling  at   Benwick�察�

does not so much as say�察 �I wonder at it�察�I have a reason of my own 

for   wondering   at   it。¨   No�察  �you   would   not   guess�察  �from   his   way   of 

writing�察�that he had ever thought of this Miss ��what¨s her name�殖� 

for    himself。    He   very   handsomely        hopes    they   will   be   happy 

together�察�and there is nothing very unforgiving in that�察�I think。 ̄ 

   Anne did not receive the perfect conviction which the Admiral 

meant   to   convey�察    �but   it  would   have    been   useless    to  press   the 

enquiry farther。 She therefore satisfied herself with common´place 

remarks or quiet attention�察�and the Admiral had it all his own way。 

    ^Poor Frederick� 院�said he at last。 ^Now he must begin all over

again with somebody else。 I think we must get him to Bath。 Sophy 

must   write�察  �and   beg   him   to   come   to   Bath。   Here   are   pretty   girls 

enough�察�I am sure。 It would be of no use to go to Uppercross again�察�

                              CHAPTER VII 



               hile Admiral Croft was taking this walk with Anne�察�and 

Wexpressing   his   wish   of   getting   Captain   Wentworth   to 

               Bath�察    �Captain     Wentworth       was    already    on   his   way 

thither。   Before   Mrs。   Croft   had   written�察  �he   was   arrived�察  �and   the 

very next time Anne walked out�察�she saw him。 

    Mr。   Elliot   was   attending   his   two   cousins   and   Mrs。   Clay。   They 

were in Milsom´street。 It began to rain�察�not much�察�but  enough  to 

make   shelter   desirable   for   women�察  �and   quite   enough   to   make   it 

very    desirable     for  Miss    Elliot  to  have    the   advantage      of  being 

conveyed       home    in  Lady    Dalrymple¨s       carriage�察  �which     was   seen 

waiting   at   a   little   distance�察  �she�察  �Anne�察  �and   Mrs。   Clay�察  �therefore�察�

turned into Molland¨s�察�while Mr。 Elliot stepped to Lady Dalrymple�察�

to request her assistance。 He soon   joined   them   again�察�successful�察�

of   course�察  �Lady   Dalrymple   would   be   most   happy   to   take         them 

home�察�and would call for them in a few minutes。 

    Her ladyship¨s carriage was a barouche�察�and did not hold more 

than   four   with   any   comfort。   Miss   Carteret   was   with   her   mother�察�

consequently  it  was not  reasonable   to  expect  accommodation  for 

all the three Camden´place ladies。 There could be no doubt as to 

Miss     Elliot。  Whoever      suffered     inconvenience�察      �she   must    suffer 

none�察  �but   it   occupied   a   little   time   to   settle   the   point   of   civility 

between the other two。 The rain was a mere trifle�察�and Anne was 

most sincere in preferring a walk with Mr。 Elliot。 But the rain was 

also a mere trifle to Mrs。 Clay�察  �she   would   hardly allow  it  even   to 

drop at all�察�and her boots were so thick�  �much  thicker  than   Miss

Anne¨s�察�and�察�in short�察�her civility rendered her quite as anxious to 

be    left  to  walk   with   Mr。   Elliot   as  Anne    could    be�察 �and    it  was 

discussed      between      them     with   a  generosity      so  polite   and    so 

determined�察�that the others were obliged to settle it for them�察�Miss 

Elliot maintaining that Mrs。 Clay had a little cold already�察�and Mr。 

Elliot deciding on appeal�察�that his cousin Anne¨s boots were rather 

the thickest。 

    It was fixed accordingly�察�that Mrs。 Clay should be of the party in 

the carriage�察�and they had just reached this point�察�when Anne�察�as 

she sat near the window�察�descried�察�most decidedly and distinctly�察�

Captain Wentworth walking down the street。 

    Her start was perceptible only to herself�察�but she instantly felt 

that    she   was    the   greatest    simpleton     in   the   world�察   �the   most 

unaccountable   and   absurd�   �For   a   few   minutes   she   saw   nothing 

before her。 It was all confusion。 She   was lost�察�and  when   she   had 

scolded back her senses�察�she found the others still waiting for the 

carriage�察�and Mr。 Elliot ��always obliging�� just setting off for Union´ 

street on a commission of Mrs。 Clay¨s。
