natural connexions to assist her even with their counsel�察�and she 

could not afford to purchase the assistance of the law。 This was a

    It was on this point that she had hoped to engage Anne¨s good 

offices   with  Mr。   Elliot。   She   had   previously�察  �in   the   anticipation   of 

their marriage�察�been very apprehensive of losing her friend by it�察�

but on being assured that he could have made no attempt of that 

nature�察    �since    he   did   not   even    know      her   to  be   in   Bath�察   �it 

immediately occurred�察�that something might be done in her favour 

by the influence of the woman he loved�察�and she had been hastily 

preparing to interest Anne¨s feelings�察�as far as the observances due 

to   Mr。   Elliot¨s   character   would   allow�察  �when   Anne¨s   refutation   of 

the   supposed      engagement   changed          the  face   of  everything�察    �and 

while it took from her the new´formed hope of succeeding  in   the 

object of her first anxiety�察�left her at least the comfort of telling the 

whole story her own way。 

    After listening to this full description of Mr。 Elliot�察�Anne could 

not   but   express   some   surprise   at   Mrs。   Smith¨s   having   spoken   of 

him so favourably in the beginning of their conversation。 ^She had 

seemed to recommend and praise him� 院�

    ^My dear�察院�was Mrs。 Smith¨s reply�察 �there was   nothing  else  to 

be   done。   I   considered   your   marrying   him   as   certain�察  �though   he 

might not yet have made the offer�察�and I could no more speak the 

truth of him�察�than if he had been your husband。 My heart bled for 

you�察   �as   I  talked   of   happiness�察    �and    yet   he   is  sensible�察   �he   is 

agreeable�察  �and   with   such   a   woman   as   you�察  �it   was   not   absolutely 

hopeless。 He was very unkind to his first wife。 They were wretched 

together。 But she was too ignorant and giddy for respect�察�and he 

had   never   loved   her。   I   was   willing   to   hope   that   you   must   fare 

better。 ̄ 

    Anne could just acknowledge within herself such a possibility of 

having   been   induced   to   marry   him�察  �as   made   her   shudder   at   the

idea of the misery which must have followed。 It was just possible 

that she might have been persuaded by Lady Russell� �And under 

such a supposition�察�which would have been most miserable�察�when 

time had disclosed all�察�too late�拭�

    It   was   very   desirable   that   Lady   Russell   should   be   no   longer 

deceived�察     �and     one    of  the    concluding      arrangements        of   this 

important   conference�察        �which    carried    them    through     the   greater 

part     of   the   morning�察     �was�察    �that   Anne      had    full   liberty   to 

communicate   to   her   friend   everything   relative   to   Mrs。   Smith�察  �in 

which his conduct was involved。

                                CHAPTER X 



           nne   went   home   to   think   over   all   that  she   had   heard。   In 

Aone point�察�her feelings were relieved by this knowledge of 

           Mr。   Elliot。   There   was   no   longer   anything   of   tenderness 

due to him。 He stood�察�as opposed to Captain Wentworth�察�in all his 

own   unwelcome   obtrusiveness�察�and   the   evil   of  his   attentions   last 

night�察    �the   irremediable       mischief     he   might     have     done�察   �was 

considered       with   sensations     unqualified�察     �unperplexed。!Pity         for 

him   was   all   over。   But   this   was   the   only   point   of   relief。   In   every 

other respect�察�in looking around her�察�or penetrating forward�察�she 

saw more to distrust and to apprehend。 She was concerned for the 

disappointment   and   pain   Lady   Russell   would   be   feeling�察  �for   the 

mortifications which must  be   hanging  over  her  father  and sister�察�

and had all the distress of foreseeing many evils�察�without knowing 

how to avert any one of them。!She was most thankful for her own 

knowledge of him。 She had never considered herself as entitled to 

reward   for   not   slighting   an   old   friend   like   Mrs。   Smith�察  �but   here 

was a reward indeed springing from it� �Mrs。 Smith had been able 

to tell her what no one else could have done。 Could the knowledge 

have     been   extended      through   her   family�拭�But   this        was   a   vain 

idea。 She must talk to Lady Russell�察�tell her�察�consult with her�察�and 

having done her best�察�wait the event with as much composure as 

possible�察�and after all�察�her greatest want of composure would be in 

that    quarter    of  the  mind     which    could    not   be  opened     to  Lady 

Russell�察  �in   that   flow   of   anxieties   and   fears   which   must   be   all   to 

herself。

     She  found�察  �on   reaching   home�察  �that   she   had�察  �as   she   intended�察�

escaped seeing Mr。 Elliot�察�that he had called and paid them a long 

morning  visit�察  �but   hardly   had   she   congratulated   herself�察  �and   felt 

safe�察�when she heard that he was coming again in the evening。 

    ^I had not the smallest intention of asking him�察院�said Elizabeth�察�

with   affected   carelessness�察   �but   he   gave   so   many   hints�察  �so   Mrs。 

Clay says�察�at least。 ̄ 

    ^Indeed�察�I do say it。 I never saw anybody in my life spell harder 

for an invitation。 Poor man� �I was really in pain for him�察�for your 

hard´hearted sister�察�Miss Anne�察�seems bent on cruelty。 ̄ 

    ^Oh� 院�cried Elizabeth�察 �I have been rather too much used to the 

game to be soon overcome by a gentleman¨s hints。 However�察�when 

I found how excessively he was regretting that he should miss my 

father   this   morning�察  �I   gave   way   immediately�察  �for   I   would   never 

really     omit    an   opportunity       of  bringing      him    and    Sir   Walter 

together。   They   appear   to   so   much   advantage           in   company   with 

each   other�   �Each   behaving   so   pleasantly�   �Mr。   Elliot   looking   up 

with so much respect� 院�

    ^Quite delightful� 院�cried Mrs。 Clay�察�not daring�察�however�察�to turn 

her   eyes   towards   Anne。   ^Exactly   like   father   and   son�   �Dear   Miss 

Elliot�察�may I not say father and son�拭院�

    ^Oh�   �I   lay   no   embargo   on   any   body¨s   words。   If   you   will   have 

such     ideas�   �But�察  �upon     my   word�察   �I  am    scarcely    sensible    of  his 

attentions being beyond those of other men。 ̄ 

    ^My   dear   Miss   Elliot� 院  �exclaimed   Mrs。   Clay�察  �lifting   her   hands 

and     eyes�察  �and    sinking     all  the   rest   of  her   astonishment        in  a 

convenient silence。 

    ^Well�察  �my   dear   Penelope�察  �you   need   not   be   so   alarmed   about 

him。   I   did   invite   him�察  �you   know。   I   sent   him   away   with   smiles。
