pass between two or three of the lady visitors�察�as if they believed 

themselves       quite    in  the   secret。   It  was   evident     that   the   report 

concerning  her   had   spread�察  �and   a   short   pause   succeeded�察  �which 

seemed to ensure that it would now spread farther。 

    ^Do come�察�Anne ̄ cried Mary�察 �come and look yourself。 You will 

be   too   late   if   you   do  not   make   haste。   They   are   parting�察  �they   are 

shaking hands。 He is turning away。 Not know Mr。 Elliot�察�indeed� � 

You seem to have forgot all about Lyme。 ̄ 

    To  pacify  Mary�察  �and   perhaps   screen   her   own   embarrassment�察�

Anne   did   move   quietly   to   the   window。   She   was   just   in   time   to 

ascertain      that   it  really   was    Mr。    Elliot�察 �which     she    had   never 

believed�察�before he disappeared on one side�察�as Mrs。 Clay walked 

quickly   off    on   the   other�察  �and   checking   the      surprise    which   she 

could   not   but   feel   at   such   an   appearance   of   friendly   conference 

between two persons of totally opposite interest�察�she   calmly  said�察�

^Yes�察�it is Mr。 Elliot�察�certainly。 He has changed his hour of going�察�I 

suppose�察  �that   is   all!or   I   may   be   mistaken�察  �I   might   not   attend�察院�

and     walked      back     to   her   chair�察   �recomposed�察       �and     with    the 

comfortable hope of having acquitted herself well。 

    The   visitors   took   their   leave�察  �and   Charles�察  �having   civilly   seen 

them   off�察  �and   then   made   a   face   at   them�察  �and   abused   them   for 

coming�察�began with! 

    ^Well�察�mother�察�I have done something for you that you will like。 

I have been to the theatre�察�and secured a box for to´morrow night。 

A¨n¨t I a good boy�拭�I know you love a play�察�and there is room for us 

all。   It   holds   nine。   I   have   engaged   Captain   Wentworth。   Anne   will 

not  be   sorry  to  join   us�察  �I  am   sure。   We   all   like   a   play。   Have   not   I 

done well�察�mother�拭院�

   Mrs。 Musgrove was good humouredly beginning to express her 

perfect readiness for the play�察�if Henrietta and all the others liked 

it�察�when Mary eagerly interrupted her by exclaiming�察�

    ^Good   heavens�察  �Charles�   �how   can   you   think   of   such   a   thing�拭�

Take     a   box   for   to´morrow   night�  �Have    you   forgot   that  we   are 

engaged      to  Camden´place       to´morrow     night�拭  �and    that  we   were 

most     particularly     asked    to   meet    Lady     Dalrymple      and    her 

daughter�察�and Mr。 Elliot!all the principal family connexions!on 

purpose to be introduced to them�拭�How can you be so forgetful�拭院�

    ^Phoo�     �phoo� 院   �replied    Charles�察    �what¨s    an   evening    party�拭�

Never   worth   remembering。   Your   father   might   have   asked   us   to 

dinner�察�I think�察�if he had wanted to see us。 You may do as you like�察�

but I shall go to the play。 ̄ 

    ^Oh� �Charles�察�I declare it will be too abominable if you do�察�when 

you promised to go。 ̄ 

    ^No�察�I did not promise。 I only smirked and bowed�察�and said the 

word `happy。¨ There was no promise。 ̄ 

    ^But you must go�察�Charles。 It would be unpardonable to fail。 We 

were asked on purpose to be introduced。 There was always such a 

great  connexion between   the   Dalrymples   and   ourselves。   Nothing 

ever     happened       on    either    side    that   was     not   announced 

immediately。 We are quite near relations�察�you know�察�and Mr。 Elliot 

too�察�whom you ought so particularly to be acquainted with� �Every 

attention     is  due  to  Mr。   Elliot。  Consider�察   �my    father¨s  heir!the 

future representative of the family。 ̄ 

    ^Don¨t    talk   to  me    about   heirs   and    representatives�察院     �cried 

Charles。 ^I am not one of those who neglect the reigning power to 

bow to the rising sun。 If I would not go for the sake of your father�察�

I should think it scandalous to go for the sake of his heir。 What is

Mr。 Elliot to me�拭院�

    The careless expression was life to Anne�察�who saw that Captain 

Wentworth was all attention�察�looking and listening with his whole 

soul�察   �and   that   the  last   words   brought      his  enquiring     eyes    from 

Charles to herself。 

    Charles   and      Mary   still  talked    on   in  the  same   style�察   �he�察 �half 

serious and half jesting�察�maintaining the scheme for the play�察�and 

she�察�invariably serious�察�most warmly opposing it�察�and not omitting 

to make it known that�察�however determined to go to Camden´place 

herself�察�she should not think herself very well used�察�if they went to 

the play without her。 Mrs。 Musgrove interposed。 

    ^We had better put it off。 Charles�察�you had much better go back 

and change the box for Tuesday。 It would be a pity to be divided�察�

and we should be losing Miss Anne�察�too�察�if there is a party at her 

father¨s�察�and I am sure neither  Henrietta   nor  I   should   care   at all 

for the play�察�if Miss Anne could not be with us。 ̄ 

    Anne   felt   truly   obliged   to   her   for   such   kindness�察  �and   quite   as 

much so for the opportunity it gave her of decidedly saying! 

    ^If   it   depended   only   on   my   inclination�察  �ma¨am�察      �the   party   at 

home   ��excepting   on   Mary¨s   account��   would   not   be   the   smallest 

impediment。 I have no pleasure in the sort of meeting�察�and should 

be   too   happy   to   change   it   for   a   play�察  �and   with   you。   But�察  �it   had 

better not be attempted�察�perhaps。 ̄ 

    She     had    spoken     it�察 �but   she   trembled      when     it  was    done�察�

conscious that her words were listened to�察�and daring not even to 

try to observe their effect。 

    It  was   soon   generally  agreed   that  Tuesday   should   be   the   day�察�

Charles   only   reserving   the   advantage   of   still   teasing   his   wife�察  �by 

persisting that  he   would   go  to  the   play  to´morrow  if  nobody  else

would。 

    Captain Wentworth  left   his   seat�察  �and   walked   to   the   fire´place�察�

probably for the sake of walking away from it soon afterwards�察�and 

taking a station�察�with less bare´faced design�察�by Anne。 

    ^You have not been long enough in Bath�察院�said he�察 �to enjoy the 

evening parties of the place。 ̄ 

    ^Oh� �no。 The usual character of them has nothing for me。 I am 

no card´player。 ̄ 

    ^You were not formerly�察�I know。 You did not use to like cards�察�

but time makes many changes。 ̄ 

    ^I   am   not   yet   so   much   changed�察院    �cried   Anne�察   �and   stopped�察�

fearing she hardly knew what misconstruction。 After waiting a few 

moments        he  said!and       as  if  it  were   the   result   of  immediate 

feeling!^It is a period�察�indeed� �Eight years and a half is a period。 ̄ 

    Whether   he   would   have   proceeded   farther   was   left   to   Anne¨s 

imagination to ponder over in a calmer hour�察�for while still hearing 

the   sounds   he   had   uttered�察  �she   was   startled   to   other   subjects   by 

Henrietta�察�eager to make use of the present leisure for getting out�察�

and calling on her companions to lose no time�察�lest somebody else 

should come in。 

    They     were   obliged    to  move。    Anne     talked   of  being    perfectly 

ready�察�and tried to look it�察�but she   felt  that  could  Henrietta   have
