gave herself up to the demands of the party�察 �to the needful
civilities of the moment�察 �with exquisite�察 �though agitated
sensations。 She was in good humour with all。 She had received
ideas which disposed her to be courteous and kind to all�察 �and to
pity every one�察�as being less happy than herself。
The delightful emotions were a little subdued�察 �when on
stepping back from the group�察 �to be joined again by Captain
Wentworth�察�she saw that he was gone。 She was just in time to see
him turn into the Concert Room。 He was gone!he had
disappeared�察 �she felt a moment¨s regret。 But ^they should meet
again。 He would look for her!he would find her out before the
evening were over!and at present�察�perhaps�察�it was as well to be
asunder。 She was in need of a little interval for recollection。 ̄
Upon Lady Russell¨s appearance soon afterwards�察 �the whole
party was collected�察 �and all that remained was to marshal
themselves�察�and proceed into the Concert Room�察�and be of all the
consequence in their power�察 �draw as many eyes�察 �excite as many
whispers�察�and disturb as many people as they could。
Very�察�very happy were both Elizabeth and Anne Elliot as they
walked in。 Elizabeth arm in arm with Miss Carteret�察 �and looking
on the broad back of the dowager Viscountess Dalrymple before
her�察�had nothing to wish for which did not seem within her reach�察�
and Anne!but it would be an insult to the nature of Anne¨s

felicity�察 �to draw any comparison between it and her sister¨s�察 �the
origin of one all selfish vanity�察 �of the other all generous
attachment。
Anne saw nothing�察 �thought nothing of the brilliancy of the
room。 Her happiness was from within。 Her eyes were bright and
her cheeks glowed�察�but she knew nothing about it。 She was
thinking only of the last half hour�察 �and as they passed to their
seats�察�her mind took a hasty range over it。 His choice of subjects�察�
his expressions�察 �and still more his manner and look�察 �had been
such as she could see in only one light。 His opinion of Louisa
Musgrove¨s inferiority�察�an opinion which he had seemed solicitous
to give�察�his wonder at Captain Benwick�察 �his feelings as to a first�察�
strong attachment�察�sentences begun which he could not finish!
his half averted eyes and more than half expressive glance�察�all�察�
all declared that he had a heart returning to her at least�察 �that
anger�察�resentment�察�avoidance�察 �were no more�察�and that they were
succeeded�察 �not merely by friendship and regard�察 �but by the
tenderness of the past。 Yes�察 �some share of the tenderness of the
past。 She could not contemplate the change as implying less。!He
must love her。
These were thoughts�察 �with their attendant visions�察 �which
occupied and flurried her too much to leave her any power of
observation�察 �and she passed along the room without having a
glimpse of him�察 �without even trying to discern him。 When their
places were determined on�察�and they were all properly arranged�察�
she looked round to see if he should happen to be in the same part
of the room�察�but he was not�察�her eye could not reach him�察�and the
concert being just opening�察 �she must consent for a time to be
happy in a humbler way。

The party was divided and disposed of on two contiguous
benches�此�Anne was among those on the foremost�察 �and Mr。 Elliot
had manoeuvred so well�察�with the assistance of his friend Colonel
Wallis�察 �as to have a seat by her。 Miss Elliot�察 �surrounded by her
cousins�察�and the principal object of Colonel Wallis¨s gallantry�察�was
quite contented。
Anne¨s mind was in a most favourable state for the
entertainment of the evening�察�it was just occupation enough�此 �she
had feelings for the tender�察 �spirits for the gay�察 �attention for the
scientific�察�and patience for the wearisome�察�and had never liked a
concert better�察�at least during the first act。 Towards the close of it�察�
in the interval succeeding an Italian song�察�she explained the words
of the song to Mr。 Elliot。!They had a concert bill between them。
^This�察院�said she�察 �is nearly the sense�察�or rather the meaning of
the words�察�for certainly the sense of an Italian love´song must not
be talked of�察�but it is as nearly the meaning as I can give�察�for I do
not pretend to understand the language。 I am a very poor Italian
scholar。 ̄
^Yes�察�yes�察�I see you are。 I see you know nothing of the matter。
You have only knowledge enough of the language to translate at
sight these inverted�察�transposed�察�curtailed Italian lines�察�into clear�察�
comprehensible�察�elegant English。 You need not say anything more
of your ignorance。!Here is complete proof。 ̄
^I will not oppose such kind politeness�察�but I should be sorry to
be examined by a real proficient。 ̄
^I have not had the pleasure of visiting in Camden´place so
long�察院 �replied he�察 �without knowing something of Miss Anne
Elliot�察�and I do regard her as one who is too modest for the world
in general to be aware of half her accomplishments�察�and too highly

accomplished for modesty to be natural in any other woman。 ̄
^For shame� �for shame� �this is too much flattery。 I forget what
we are to have next�察院�turning to the bill。
^Perhaps�察院�said Mr。 Elliot�察 �speaking low�察 �I have had a longer
acquaintance with your character than you are aware of。 ̄
^Indeed� �How so�拭�You can have been acquainted with it only
since I came to Bath�察�excepting as you might hear me previously
spoken of in my own family。 ̄
^I knew you by report long before you came to Bath。 I had
heard you described by those who knew you intimately。 I have
been acquainted with you by character many years。 Your person�察�
your disposition�察�accomplishments�察�manner!they were all present
to me。 ̄
Mr。 Elliot was not disappointed in the interest he hoped to
raise。 No one can withstand the charm of such a mystery。 To have
been described long ago to a recent acquaintance�察 �by nameless
people�察�is irresistible�察�and Anne was all curiosity。 She wondered�察�
and questioned him eagerly!but in vain。 He delighted in being
asked�察�but he would not tell。
^No�察�no!some time or other�察�perhaps�察�but not now。 He would
mention no names now�察�but such�察�he could assure her�察 �had been
the fact。 He had many years ago received such a description of
Miss Anne Ell
