When   I   found   he   was   really   going   to   his   friends   at   Thornberry 

Park for the whole day to´morrow�察�I had compassion on him。 ̄ 

    Anne   admired   the   good   acting   of   the   friend�察  �in   being   able   to 

shew such pleasure as she did�察�in the expectation and in the actual 

arrival     of  the    very   person      whose     presence      must    really    be 

interfering with her prime object。 It was impossible but that Mrs。 

Clay must hate the sight of Mr。 Elliot�察�and yet she could assume a 

most   obliging�察    �placid    look�察 �and    appear    quite   satisfied   with    the 

curtailed     license    of  devoting     herself   only   half   as  much     to  Sir 

Walter as she would have done otherwise。 

    To Anne herself it was most distressing to see Mr。 Elliot enter 

the   room�察  �and   quite  painful   to   have   him   approach   and   speak   to 

her。 She had been used before to feel that he could not be always 

quite    sincere�察  �but   now    she   saw    insincerity    in  every   thing。   His 

attentive     deference      to  her   father�察  �contrasted      with    his  former 

language�察�was odious�察�and when she thought of his cruel conduct 

towards Mrs。 Smith�察�she could hardly bear the sight of his present 

smiles and mildness�察�or the sound of his artificial good sentiments。 

    She   meant   to   avoid   any   such   alteration   of   manners   as   might 

provoke a remonstrance on his side。 It was a great object to her to 

escape     all  enquiry     or  eclat�察 �but   it  was   her   intention    to  be   as 

decidedly       cool   to   him     as   might     be   compatible       with    their 

relationship�察�and to retrace�察�as quietly as she could�察�the few steps 

of   unnecessary   intimacy   she   had   been   gradually   led   along。   She 

was accordingly more guarded�察�and more cool�察�than she had been 

the night before。 

    He wanted to animate her curiosity again as to how and where 

he could have heard her formerly praised�察�wanted very much to be 

gratified by more solicitation�察�but the charm was broken�此�he found

that   the   heat   and   animation   of   a   public   room   was   necessary   to 

kindle his modest cousin¨s vanity�察�he found�察�at least�察�that it was not 

to be done now�察�by any of those attempts which he could hazard 

among        the   too´commanding           claims     of   the    others。    He     little 

surmised       that   it  was    a  subject    acting    now    exactly    against     his 

interest�察  �bringing   immediately   to   her   thoughts   all   those   parts   of 

his conduct which were least excusable。 

    She   had   some   satisfaction   in   finding   that   he   was   really   going 

out of Bath  the   next  morning�察  �going  early�察�and   that  he   would be 

gone     the    greater    part    of  two    days。    He    was    invited    again    to 

Camden´place the very evening of his return�察�but from Thursday 

to  Saturday  evening  his absence   was certain。   It   was   bad   enough 

that   a   Mrs。   Clay   should   be   always   before   her�察  �but   that   a   deeper 

hypocrite should be added to their party�察�seemed the destruction 

of   every   thing   like   peace   and   comfort。   It   was   so   humiliating   to 

reflect    on   the   constant     deception      practised      on   her   father    and 

Elizabeth�察      �to   consider      the    various      sources     of   mortification 

preparing for them� �Mrs。 Clay¨s selfishness was not so complicate 

nor so revolting as his�察�and Anne would have compounded for the 

marriage       at  once�察   �with   all  its  evils�察  �to  be   clear   of  Mr。    Elliot¨s 

subtleties in endeavouring to prevent it。 

    On Friday morning she meant to go very early to Lady Russell�察�

and     accomplish       the   necessary      communication�察        �and    she    would 

have   gone   directly   after   breakfast�察  �but   that   Mrs。   Clay   was   also 

going   out   on   some   obliging   purpose   of   saving   her   sister   trouble�察�

which  determined   her  to  wait  till   she   might   be   safe   from   such   a 

companion。        She   saw   Mrs。     Clay   fairly    off�察 �therefore�察   �before    she 

began to talk of spending the morning in Rivers´street。 

    ^Very   well�察院  �said   Elizabeth�察   �I   have   nothing   to   send   but   my

love。 Oh� �you may as well take back that tiresome book she would 

lend   me�察  �and   pretend   I   have   read   it   through。   I   really   cannot   be 

plaguing myself for ever with all the new poems and states of the 

nation that come out。 Lady Russell quite bores one with her new 

publications。   You   need   not   tell   her   so�察  �but   I   thought   her   dress 

hideous   the   other   night。   I   used   to   think   she   had   some   taste   in 

dress�察  �but   I   was   ashamed   of   her   at   the   concert。    Something   so 

formal   and  arrang└   in   her   air�   �and   she   sits   so   upright�   �My   best 

love�察�of course。 ̄ 

    ^And mine�察院�added Sir Walter。 ^Kindest regards。 And you may 

say�察�that I mean to call upon her soon。 Make a civil message。 But I 

shall only leave my card。 Morning visits are never fair by women 

at her time of life�察�who make themselves up so little。 If she would 

only  wear  rouge�察  �she   would   not   be   afraid   of   being   seen�察  �but   last 

time I called�察�I observed the blinds were let down immediately。 ̄ 

    While   her   father   spoke�察  �there   was   a   knock   at   the   door。   Who 

could   it   be�拭  �Anne�察   �remembering   the        preconcerted       visits�察  �at   all 

hours�察�of Mr。 Elliot�察�would have expected him�察�but for his known 

engagement   seven   miles   off。   After   the   usual   period   of   suspense�察�

the    usual   sounds     of  approach      were    heard�察   �and   ^Mr。    and   Mrs。 

Charles Musgrove ̄ were ushered into the room。 

    Surprise was the strongest emotion raised by their appearance�察�

but Anne was really glad to see them�察�and the others were not so 

sorry but that they could put on a decent  air  of  welcome�察�and   as 

soon as it became clear that these�察�their nearest relations�察�were not 

arrived with any views of accommodation in that house�察�Sir Walter 

and Elizabeth were able to rise in cordiality�察�and do the honours of 

it   very   well。   They   were   come   to   Bath   for   a   few   days   with   Mrs。 

Musgrove�察�and were at the White Hart。 So much was pretty soon

understood�察�but till  Sir Walter  and   Elizabeth  were   walking  Mary 

into   the   other   drawing´room�察  �and   regaling   themselves   with   her 

admiration�察      �Anne     could    not   draw    upon    Charles¨s     brain    for  a 

regular history of their coming�察�or an explanation of some smiling 

hints     of  particular      business�察    �which     had    been     ostentatiously 

dropped   by   Mary�察  �as   well   as   of   some   apparent   confusion   as   to 

whom their party consisted of。
