Miss Anne Elliot as had inspired him with the highest idea of her 

merit�察�and excited the warmest curiosity to know her。 ̄ 

    Anne     could    think   of  no   one   so  likely   to  have   spoken     with 

partiality     of  her   many      years   ago    as   the   Mr。   Wentworth        of 

Monkford�察  �Captain   Wentworth¨s   brother。   He   might   have   been   in 

Mr。 Elliot¨s company�察�but she had not courage to ask the question。

interesting sound to me。 Very long has it possessed a charm over 

my fancy�察�and�察�if I dared�察�I would breathe my wishes that the name 

might never change。 ̄ 

    Such�察    �she   believed�察   �were    his   words�察   �but   scarcely    had    she 

received     their   sound�察   �than    her   attention    was   caught    by   other 

sounds immediately behind her�察�which rendered every thing else 

trivial。 Her father and Lady Dalrymple were speaking。 

    ^A    well´looking     man�察院   �said   Sir  Walter�察    �a  very   well´looking 

man。 ̄ 

    ^A very fine young man indeed� 院�said Lady  Dalrymple。 ^More 

air than one often sees in Bath。!Irish�察�I dare say。 ̄ 

    ^No�察    �I   just   know      his    name。     A    bowing      acquaintance。 

Wentworth!Captain   Wentworth   of   the   navy。   His   sister   married 

my tenant in Somersetshire�察�the Croft�察�who rents Kellynch。 ̄ 

    Before     Sir  Walter    had    reached    this   point�察  �Anne¨s    eyes   had 

caught the   right  direction�察  �and distinguished  Captain   Wentworth 

standing among  a   cluster  of  men   at a   little   distance。 As   her  eyes 

fell   on   him�察  �his   seemed   to   be   withdrawn   from   her。   It   had   that 

appearance。   It   seemed   as   if   she   had   been   one   moment   too   late�察�

and as  long  as she   dared   observe�察  �he   did  not  look  again�此�but  the 

performance   was   recommencing�察  �and   she   was   forced   to   seem   to 

restore her attention to the orchestra and look straight forward。 

    When   she could   give  another  glance�察 �he   had   moved   away。   He 

could     not   have   come     nearer    to  her   if  he  would�察   �she    was   so 

surrounded and shut in�此�but she would rather have caught his eye。 

    Mr。 Elliot¨s speech�察�too�察�distressed her。 She had no longer  any 

inclination to talk to him。 She wished him not so near her。 

    The    first  act  was   over。   Now     she   hoped    for  some     beneficial 

change�察�and�察  �after  a  period   of  nothing´saying   amongst   the   party�察�

some of them did decide on going in quest of tea。 Anne was one of 

the few who did not choose to move。 She remained in her seat�察�and 

so did Lady Russell�察�but she had the pleasure of getting rid of Mr。 

Elliot�察  �and   she   did   not   mean�察  �whatever   she   might   feel   on   Lady 

Russell¨s      account�察    �to  shrink     from    conversation       with    Captain 

Wentworth�察�if he gave her the opportunity。 She was persuaded by 

Lady Russell¨s countenance that she had seen him。 

    He     did   not    come     however。      Anne     sometimes        fancied    she 

discerned       him   at  a  distance�察    �but   he  never     came。    The    anxious 

interval wore away unproductively。 The others returned�察�the room 

filled again�察�benches were reclaimed and repossessed�察�and another 

hour of pleasure or of penance was to be sat out�察�another hour of 

music was to give delight or the gapes�察�as real or affected taste for 

it   prevailed。   To   Anne�察  �it   chiefly   wore   the   prospect   of   an   hour   of 

agitation。   She   could   not   quit   that   room   in   peace   without   seeing 

Captain   Wentworth   once   more�察  �without   the   interchange   of   one 

friendly look。 

    In   re´settling   themselves   there   were   now   many   changes�察  �the 

result   of   which   was   favourable   for   her。   Colonel   Wallis   declined 

sitting   down   again�察  �and   Mr。   Elliot   was   invited   by   Elizabeth   and 

Miss Carteret�察�in a manner not to be refused�察�to sit between them�察�

and   by   some   other   removals�察  �and   a   little   scheming   of   her   own�察�

Anne   was   enabled   to   place   herself   much   nearer   the   end   of   the 

bench   than   she   had   been   before�察  �much   more   within   reach   of   a 

passer´by。   She   could   not   do   so�察  �without   comparing   herself   with 

Miss   Larolles�察  �the   inimitable   Miss   Larolles�察�but   still   she   did   it�察�

and     not   with    much      happier     effect�察  �though     by   what     seemed 

prosperity       in  the    shape    of   an   early    abdication      in  her    next 

neighbours�察�she found herself at the very end of the bench before

the concert closed。 

    Such   was     her   situation�察   �with   a  vacant   space   at   hand�察   �when 

Captain Wentworth was again in sight。 She saw him not far off。 He 

saw her too�察�yet he looked grave�察�and seemed irresolute�察�and only 

by very slow degrees came at last near enough to speak to her。 She 

felt    that   something       must     be   the   matter。     The    change      was 

indubitable。   The   difference   between   his   present   air   and   what   it 

had been in the Octagon Room was strikingly great。!Why was it�拭�

She thought of her father!of Lady Russell。 Could there have been 

any   unpleasant   glances�拭  �He   began          by   speaking     of  the  concert 

gravely�察  �more   like   the   Captain  Wentworth   of   Uppercross�察  �owned 

himself   disappointed�察  �had   expected   singing�察  �and   in   short�察  �must 

confess     that   he   should    not   be   sorry   when     it  was   over。   Anne 

replied�察�and spoke in defence of the performance so well�察�and yet 

in   allowance   for   his   feelings   so   pleasantly�察  �that   his   countenance 

improved�察�and he   replied again   with  almost  a  smile。  They  talked 

for   a   few   minutes   more�察  �the   improvement   held�察  �he   even   looked 

down   towards   the   bench�察  �as   if   he   saw   a   place   on   it   well   worth 

occupying�察�when at that moment a touch on her shoulder obliged 

Anne     to   turn  round。!It   came        from   Mr。   Elliot。  He    begged    her 

pardon�察�but she must be applied to�察�to explain Italian again。 Miss 

Carteret was very anxious to have a general idea of what was next 

to be sung。 Anne could not refuse�察�but never had she sacrificed to 

politeness with a more suffering spirit。 

    A   few    minutes�察   �though     as   few   as  possible�察   �were    inevitably 

consumed�察�and   when   her  own   mistress again�察  �when   able   to   turn 

and   look   as   she   had   done   before�察  �she   found   herself   accosted   by 

Captain Wentworth�察�in a reserved yet hurried sort of farewell。 ^He 

must wish her good night。 He was going!he should get home as
