and Captain Harville�察�beside their two selves。 He gave her a very
plain�察�intelligible account of the whole�察 �a narration in which she
saw a great deal of most characteristic proceeding。 The scheme
had received its first impulse by Captain Harville¨s wanting to
come to Bath on business。 He had begun to talk of it a week ago�察�
and by way of doing something�察�as shooting was over�察�Charles had
proposed coming with him�察�and Mrs。 Harville had seemed to like
the idea of it very much�察 �as an advantage to her husband�察 �but
Mary could not bear to be left�察�and had made herself so unhappy
about it�察�that for a day or two everything seemed to be in suspense�察�
or at an end。 But then�察 �it had been taken up by his father and
mother。 His mother had some old friends in Bath whom she
wanted to see�察�it was thought a good opportunity for Henrietta to
come and buy wedding´clothes for herself and her sister�察 �and�察 �in
short�察�it ended in being his mother¨s party�察�that everything might
be comfortable and easy to Captain Harville�察 �and he and Mary
were included in it by way of general convenience。 They had
arrived late the night before。 Mrs。 Harville�察 �her children�察 �and
Captain Benwick�察 �remained with Mr。 Musgrove and Louisa at
Uppercross。
Anne¨s only surprise was�察�that affairs should be in forwardness

enough for Henrietta¨s wedding´clothes to be talked of。 She had
imagined such difficulties of fortune to exist there as must prevent
the marriage from being near at hand�察 �but she learned from
Charles that�察 �very recently ��since Mary¨s last letter to herself���察�
Charles Hayter had been applied to by a friend to hold a living for
a youth who could not possibly claim it under many years�察 �and
that on the strength of his present income�察�with almost a certainty
of something more permanent long before the term in question�察�
the two families had consented to the young people¨s wishes�察�and
that their marriage was likely to take place in a few months�察�quite
as soon as Louisa¨s。 ^And a very good living it was�察院 �Charles
added�此 �only five´and´twenty miles from Uppercross�察�and in a very
fine country!fine part of Dorsetshire。 In the centre of some of the
best preserves in the kingdom�察 �surrounded by three great
proprietors�察�each more careful and jealous than the other�察�and to
two of the three at least�察 �Charles Hayter might get a special
recommendation。 Not that he will value it as he ought�察院 �he
observed�察 �Charles is too cool about sporting。 That¨s the worst of
him。 ̄
^I am extremely glad�察 �indeed�察院 �cried Anne�察 �particularly glad
that this should happen�察�and that of two sisters�察�who both deserve
equally well�察 �and who have always been such good friends�察 �the
pleasant prospect of one should not be dimming those of the
other!that they should be so equal in their prosperity and
comfort。 I hope your father and mother are quite happy with
regard to both。 ̄
^Oh� �yes。 My father would be well pleased if the gentlemen
were richer�察�but he has no other fault to find。 Money�察 �you know�察�
coming down with money!two daughters at once!it cannot be a

very agreeable operation�察�and it streightens him as to many things。
However�察�I do not mean to say they have not a right to it。 It is very
fit they should have daughters¨ shares�察 �and I am sure he has
always been a very kind�察�liberal father to me。 Mary does not above
half like Henrietta¨s match。 She never did�察�you know。 But she does
not do him justice�察 �nor think enough about Winthrop。 I cannot
make her attend to the value of the property。 It is a very fair
match�察�as times go�察�and I have liked Charles Hayter all my life�察�and
I shall not leave off now。 ̄
^Such excellent parents as Mr。 and Mrs。 Musgrove�察院�exclaimed
Anne�察 �should be happy in their children¨s marriages。 They do
everything to confer happiness�察 �I am sure。 What a blessing to
young people to be in such hands� �Your father and mother seem
so totally free from all those ambitious feelings which have led to
so much misconduct and misery�察 �both in young and old。 I hope
you think Louisa perfectly recovered now�拭院�
He answered rather hesitatingly�察 �Yes�察 �I believe I do!very
much recovered�察�but she is altered�察�there is no running or jumping
about�察�no laughing or dancing�察�it is quite different。 If one happens
only to shut the door a little hard�察 �she starts and wriggles like a
young dab chick in the water�察 �and Benwick sits at her elbow�察�
reading verses�察�or whispering to her�察�all day long。 ̄
Anne could not help laughing。 ^That cannot be much to your
taste�察�I know�察院�said she�察 �but I do believe him to be an excellent
young man。 ̄
^To be sure he is。 Nobody doubts it�察 �and I hope you do not
think I am so illiberal as to want every man to have the same
objects and pleasures as myself。 I have a great value for Benwick�察�
and when one can but get him to talk�察 �he has plenty to say。 His

reading has done him no harm�察�for he has fought as well as read。
He is a brave fellow。 I got more acquainted with him last Monday
than ever I did before。 We had a famous set´to at rat´hunting all
the morning in my father¨s great barns�察�and he played his part so
well that I have liked him the better ever since。 ̄
Here they were interrupted by the absolute necessity of
Charles¨s following the others to admire mirrors and china�察 �but
Anne had heard enough to understand the present state of
Uppercross�察�and rejoice in its happiness�察�and though she sighed as
she rejoiced�察 �her sigh had none of the ill´will of envy in it。 She
would certainly have risen to their blessings if she could�察�but she
did not want to lessen theirs。
The visit passed off altogether in high good humour。 Mary was
in excellent spirits�察�enjoying the gaiety and the change�察�and so well
satisfied with the journey in her mother´in´law¨s carriage with four
horses�察 �and with her own complete independence of Camden´
place�察�that she was exactly in a temper to admire everything as she
ought�察 �and enter most readily into all the superiorities of the
house�察�as they were detailed to her。 She had no demands on her
father or sister�察 �and her consequence was just enough increased
by their handsome drawing´rooms。
Elizabeth was�察�for a short time�察�suffering a good deal。
