together at Lyme�察�and grieving for him�拭�I little thought then!but 

no   matter。   This   was   drawn   at   the   Cape。   He   met   with   a      clever 

young      German      artist   at  the   Cape�察   �and    in  compliance       with   a

would not have forgotten him so soon� 院�

    ^No�察院  �replied   Anne�察  �in   a   low�察  �feeling   voice。   ^That   I   can   easily 

believe。 ̄ 

    ^It was not in her nature。 She doated on him。 ̄ 

    ^It would not be the nature of any woman who truly loved。 ̄ 

    Captain Harville smiled�察�as much as to say�察 �Do you claim that 

for your sex�拭院�and she answered the question�察�smiling also�察 �Yes。 

We   certainly   do   not   forget   you   as   soon   as    you   forget   us。  It   is�察�

perhaps�察�our fate rather than our merit。 We cannot help ourselves。 

We   live at  home�察  �quiet�察  �confined�察�and   our   feelings   prey   upon   us。 

You     are   forced     on   exertion。     You    have    always     a  profession�察�

pursuits�察�business of some sort or other�察�to take you back into the 

world     immediately�察     �and   continual      occupation     and    change     soon 

weaken impressions。 ̄ 

    ^Granting your assertion that the world does all this so soon for 

men   ��which�察  �however�察  �I   do   not   think   I   shall   grant���察  �it   does   not 

apply to Benwick。 He has not been forced upon any exertion。 The 

peace turned him on shore at the very moment�察�and he has been 

living with us�察�in our little family circle�察�ever since。 ̄ 

    ^True�察院�said Anne�察 �very true�察�I did not recollect�察�but what shall 

we say now�察�Captain Harville�拭�If the change be not from outward 

circumstances�察  �it  must   be   from   within�察  �it   must   be   nature�察  �man¨s 

nature�察�which has done the business for Captain Benwick。 ̄ 

    ^No�察  �no�察  �it   is   not   man¨s   nature。   I   will   not   allow   it   to   be   more 

man¨s nature than woman¨s to be inconstant and forget those they 

do   love�察  �or   have   loved。   I   believe   the   reverse。   I   believe   in   a   true 

analogy   between   our   bodily   frames   and   our   mental�察  �and   that   as 

our    bodies     are   the  strongest�察    �so   are   our   feelings�察   �capable    of 

bearing most rough usage�察�and riding out the heaviest weather。 ̄

    ^Your   feelings   may   be   the   strongest�察院  �replied   Anne�察   �but   the 

same spirit of analogy will authorise me to assert that ours are the 

most     tender。    Man    is  more    robust     than   woman�察     �but   he   is  not 

longer´lived�察�which exactly explains my view of the nature of their 

attachments。        Nay�察  �it  would    be   too   hard    upon    you�察   �if  it  were 

otherwise。      You     have    difficulties�察  �and    privations�察    �and   dangers 

enough   to   struggle   with。   You   are   always   labouring   and   toiling�察�

exposed to every risk and hardship。 Your home�察�country�察�friends�察�

all   quitted。   Neither   time�察  �nor   health�察  �nor   life�察  �to   be   called   your 

own。     It  would     be   hard�察   �indeed ̄     ��with    a  faltering    voice���察    �if 

woman¨s feelings were to be added to all this。 ̄ 

    ^We   shall   never   agree   upon   this   question ̄!Captain   Harville 

was beginning to say�察�when a slight noise called their attention to 

Captain Wentworth¨s hitherto perfectly quiet division of the room。 

It was nothing more than that his pen had fallen down�察�but Anne 

was startled at finding him nearer than she had supposed�察�and half 

inclined   to   suspect   that   the   pen   had   only   fallen   because   he   had 

been occupied by them�察�striving to catch sounds�察�which yet she did 

not think he could have caught。 

    ^Have you finished your letter�拭院�said Captain Harville。 

    ^Not quite�察�a few lines more。 I shall have done in five minutes。 ̄ 

    ^There is no hurry on my side。 I am only ready whenever you 

are。!I am in very good anchorage here�察院。�smiling at Anne�撮� ^well 

supplied�察  �and   want   for   nothing。!No   hurry   for   a   signal   at   all。! 

Well�察  �Miss   Elliot�察院  。�lowering   his   voice��   ^as   I   was   saying   we   shall 

never     agree�察   �I  suppose�察   �upon     this  point。   No   man     and   woman 

would�察�probably。 But let me observe that all histories are against 

you!all      stories�察  �prose    and   verse。    If  I  had   such   a   memory      as 

Benwick�察  �I   could   bring   you   fifty   quotations   in   a   moment   on   my

side the argument�察�and I do not think I ever opened a book in my 

life   which   had   not   something   to   say   upon   woman¨s   inconstancy。 

Songs   and   proverbs�察  �all   talk   of   woman¨s   fickleness。   But   perhaps 

you will say�察�these were all written by men。 ̄ 

    ^Perhaps       I  shall。!Yes�察     �yes�察  �if  you   please�察   �no   reference     to 

examples in books。 Men have had every advantage of us in telling 

their   own   story。   Education   has   been   theirs   in   so   much   higher   a 

degree�察�the pen has been in their hands。 I will not allow books to 

prove any thing。 ̄ 

    ^But how shall we prove any thing�拭院�

    ^We never shall。 We never can expect to prove any thing upon 

such a point。 It is a difference of opinion which does not admit of 

proof。 We each begin�察�probably�察�with a little bias towards our own 

sex�察  �and   upon   that   bias   build   every   circumstance   in   favour   of   it 

which      has    occurred      within    our    own     circle�察  �many     of   which 

circumstances ��perhaps those very cases which strike us the most�� 

may     be   precisely     such    as  cannot     be  brought      forward     without 

betraying a confidence�察�or in some respect saying what should not 

be said。 ̄ 

    ^Ah� 院  �cried   Captain   Harville�察  �in   a   tone   of   strong   feeling�察   �if   I 

could   but   make   you   comprehend   what   a   man   suffers   when               he 

takes a last look at his wife and children�察�and watches the boat that 

he   has   sent   them   off   in�察  �as   long   as   it   is   in   sight�察  �and   then   turns 

away   and   says�察   �God   knows   whether   we   ever   meet   again� �   And 

then�察�if I could convey to you the glow of his soul when he does see 

them   again�察  �when�察  �coming   back   after   a   twelvemonth¨s   absence�察�

perhaps�察�and   obliged  to  put  into  another  port�察  �he   calculates   how 

soon     it  be   possible    to  get   them     there�察  �pretending       to  deceive 

himself�察�and saying�察 �They cannot be here till such a day�察� but all
