    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 

known      the   regret   and   reluctance     of  her   heart   in  quitting    that 

chair�察�in preparing to quit the room�察�she would have found�察�in all 

her    own    sensations     for  her  cousin�察   �in  the  very   security    of  his 

affection�察�wherewith to pity her。 

    Their    preparations�察     �however�察    �were    stopped     short。   Alarming 

sounds  were  heard�察  �other  visitors   approached�察  �and   the   door   was 

thrown      open    for  Sir   Walter    and    Miss   Elliot�察  �whose    entrance

seemed to give a general chill。 Anne felt an instant oppression�察�and 

wherever she looked saw symptoms of the same。 The comfort�察�the 

freedom�察      �the   gaiety   of   the   room     was   over�察   �hushed     into   cold 

composure�察       �determined        silence�察   �or  insipid     talk�察 �to   meet     the 

heartless elegance of her father and sister。 How mortifying to feel 

that it was so� �

    Her     jealous    eye    was    satisfied     in  one    particular。     Captain 

Wentworth  was   acknowledged again   by   each�察  �by   Elizabeth   more 

graciously than before。 She even addressed him once�察�and looked 

at   him   more   than   once。   Elizabeth   was�察  �in   fact�察  �revolving   a   great 

measure。 The sequel explained it。 After the waste of a few minutes 

in   saying   the   proper   nothings�察  �she   began   to   give   the   invitation 

which  was   to  comprise   all  the   remaining  dues   of  the   Musgroves。 

^To´morrow   evening�察  �to   meet   a   few   friends�此  �no   formal   party。 ̄   It 

was   all   said   very   gracefully�察  �and   the   cards   with   which   she   had 

provided herself�察�the ^Miss Elliot at home�察院�were laid on the table�察�

with  a   courteous�察  �comprehensive   smile  to   all�察  �and   one   smile   and 

one   card   more   decidedly  for  Captain   Wentworth。   The   truth   was�察�

that   Elizabeth   had   been   long   enough   in   Bath   to   understand   the 

importance   of   a   man   of   such   an   air   and   appearance   as   his。   The 

past was nothing。 The present was that Captain Wentworth would 

move   about   well   in   her   drawing´room。   The   card   was   pointedly 

given�察�and Sir Walter and Elizabeth arose and disappeared。 

    The interruption had been short�察�though severe�察�and ease and 

animation   returned   to   most   of   those   they   left   as   the   door   shut 

them out�察�but not to Anne。 She could think only of the invitation 

she had with such astonishment witnessed�察�and of the manner in 

which   it   had   been   received�察  �a   manner   of       doubtful     meaning�察    �of 

surprise      rather    than    gratification�察    �of  polite    acknowledgement

rather than acceptance。 She knew him�察�she saw disdain in his eye�察�

and could not venture to believe that he had determined to accept 

such an offering�察�as an atonement for all the insolence of the past。 

Her   spirits   sank。   He   held   the   card   in   his   hand   after   they   were 

gone�察�as if deeply considering it。 

    ^Only     think   of  Elizabeth¨s    including     everybody� 院     �whispered 

Mary     very    audibly。    ^I  do   not   wonder     Captain     Wentworth       is 

delighted� �You see he cannot put the card out of his hand。 ̄ 

   Anne caught his eye�察�saw his cheeks glow�察�and his mouth form 

itself into a momentary expression of contempt�察�and turned away�察�

that she might neither see nor hear more to vex her。 

    The   party   separated。   The   gentlemen   had   their   own   pursuits�察�

the ladies proceeded on their own business�察�and they met no more 

while Anne belonged to them。 She was earnestly begged to return 

and dine�察�and give them all the rest of the day�察�but her spirits had 

been so long exerted that at present she felt unequal to more�察�and 

fit only for home�察�where she might be sure of being as silent as she 

chose。 

    Promising to be with them the whole of the following morning�察�

therefore�察�she closed the fatigues of the present by a toilsome walk 

to Camden´place�察�there to spend the evening chiefly in listening to 

the    busy    arrangements        of  Elizabeth     and    Mrs。   Clay    for   the 

morrow¨s party�察�the frequent enumeration of the persons invited�察�

and   the    continually   improving   detail      of  all  the  embellishments 

which were to make it the most completely  elegant  of  its kind in 

Bath�察  �while   harassing   herself   with   the   never´ending   question�察  �of 

whether      Captain     Wentworth       would    come     or  not�拭  �They     were 

reckoning him as certain�察�but with her it was a gnawing solicitude 

never  appeased   for   five   minutes   together。   She   generally   thought

he would come�察�because she generally thought he ought�察�but it was 

a case which she could not so shape into any positive act of duty or 

discretion�察  �as   inevitably   to   defy   the   suggestions   of   very   opposite 

feelings。 

    She     only   roused     herself    from    the   broodings      of  this   restless 

agitation�察�to let Mrs。 Clay know that  she   had been  seen   with  Mr。 

Elliot three hours after his being supposed to  be   out  of  Bath�察  �for 

having watched in vain for some intimation of the interview from 

the   lady   herself�察  �she   determined   to   mention   it�察  �and   it   seemed   to 

her   there     was   guilt   in  Mrs。    Clay¨s   face   as   she   listened。    It  was 

transient�察�cleared away in an instant�察�but Anne could imagine she 

read   there   the   consciousness   of   having�察  �by  some   complication   of 

mutual trick�察�or some overbearing authority of his�察�been obliged to 

attend ��perhaps for half an hour�� to his lectures and restrictions on 

her   designs   on   Sir   Walter。   She   exclaimed�察  �however�察  �with   a   very 

tolerable imitation of nature�察�

    ^Oh     dear�    �very    true。   Only     think�察  �Miss    Elliot�察  �to   my    great 

surprise   I   met   with   Mr。   Elliot   in   Bath´street�   �I   was   never   more 

astonished。       He   turned     back    and    walked     with   me    to   the  Pump 

Yard。   He   had   been   prevented   setting   off   for   Thornberry�察  �but   I 

really  forget  by  what!for  I   was   in   a   hurry�察  �and   could   not   much 

attend�察�and I can only answer for his being determined not to be 

delayed in his return。 He wanted to know how early he might be 

admitted       to´morrow。      He    was   full  of   `to´morrow�察�     and    it   is  very 

evident   that   I   have   been   full   of   it   too�察  �ever   since   I   entered   the 

house�察    �and    learnt   the   extension      of  your    plan   and    all  that   had 

happened�察�or my seeing him could never have gone so entirely out 

of my head。 ̄
