the while hoping for them twelve   hours   sooner�察  �and  seeing  them

    ^Oh� 院�cried Anne eagerly�察 �I hope I do justice to all that is felt 

by you�察�and by those who resemble you。 God forbid that I should 

undervalue   the   warm   and   faithful   feelings   of   any   of   my   fellow´ 

creatures�  �I   should deserve   utter   contempt   if  I   dared   to   suppose 

that true attachment and constancy were known only by woman。 

No�察  �I   believe   you   capable   of   everything   great   and   good   in   your 

married lives。 I believe you equal to every important exertion�察�and 

to every domestic forbearance�察�so long as!if I may be allowed the 

expression�察�so long as you have an object。 I mean while the woman 

you  love   lives�察  �and   lives   for   you。   All   the   privilege   I   claim   for   my 

own sex ��it is not a very enviable one�察�you need not covet it�� is that 

of loving longest�察�when existence or when hope is gone。 ̄ 

    She could not immediately have uttered another sentence�察�her 

heart was too full�察�her breath too much oppressed。 

    ^You are a good soul�察院�cried Captain Harville�察�putting his hand 

on    her   arm�察  �quite   affectionately。    ^There     is  no  quarreling     with 

you。!And when I think of Benwick�察�my tongue is tied。 ̄

not see it!and you are disengaged�察�Frederick�察�are you not�察�as well

    Captain Wentworth was folding up a letter in great haste�察�and 

either could not or would not answer fully。 

    ^Yes�察院�said he�察 �very true�察�here we separate�察�but Harville and I 

shall soon be after you�察�that is�察�Harville�察�if you are ready�察�I am in 

half a minute。 I know you will not be sorry to be off。 I shall be at 

your service in half a minute。 ̄ 

    Mrs。 Croft left them�察�and Captain Wentworth�察�having sealed his 

letter   with    great   rapidity�察  �was   indeed     ready�察  �and    had   even   a 

hurried�察�agitated air�察�which shewed impatience to  be   gone。 Anne 

knew      not  how    to   understand      it。  She   had   the   kindest    ^Good 

morning�察�God bless you� 院�from Captain Harville�察�but from him not 

a word�察�nor a look� �He had passed out of the room without a look� �

    She had only time�察�however�察�to move closer to the table where 

he   had   been   writing�察  �when   footsteps   were   heard   returning�察  �the 

door opened�察�it was himself。 He begged their pardon�察�but he had 

forgotten his gloves�察�and instantly crossing the room to the writing 

table�察�he drew out a letter from under the scattered paper�察�placed 

it   before   Anne   with   eyes   of   glowing   entreaty   fixed   on   her   for   a 

time�察�and hastily collecting his gloves�察�was again out of the room�察�

almost   before   Mrs。   Musgrove   was   aware   of   his   being   in   it!the 

work of an instant� �

    The    revolution     which    one   instant    had   made     in  Anne�察   �was 

almost     beyond     expression。     The   letter�察 �with    a  direction    hardly 

legible�察�to ^Miss A。 E。!�察院�was evidently the one which he had been 

folding   so   hastily。   While   supposed   to   be   writing   only   to   Captain 

Benwick�察�he had been also addressing her� �On the contents of that

letter   depended   all   which   this   world   could   do   for   her。   Anything 

was possible�察�anything might be defied rather than suspense。 Mrs。 

Musgrove had little arrangements of her own at her own table�察�to 

their protection she   must  trust�察  �and sinking  into  the   chair  which 

he had occupied�察�succeeding to the very spot where he had leaned 

and written�察�her eyes devoured the following words�此�



     ^I can listen no longer in silence。 I must speak to you by such 

means   as   are   within       my   reach。    You   pierce   my   soul。   I    am    half 

agony�察�half hope。 Tell me not that I am too late�察�that such precious 

feelings are gone for ever。 I offer myself to you again with a heart 

even   more   your  own   than   when   you   almost  broke   it�察  �eight   years 

and a half ago。 Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman�察�

that   his   love   has   an   earlier   death。     I  have   loved   none   but   you。 

Unjust   I   may   have      been�察   �weak   and     resentful     I  have   been�察  �but 

never   inconstant。   You   alone   have   brought   me   to   Bath。   For   you 

alone�察�I think and plan。!Have you not seen this�拭�Can you fail to 

have   understood   my   wishes�拭�I   had   not   waited   even   these   ten 

days�察  �could   I   have   read   your   feelings�察  �as   I   think   you   must   have 

penetrated   mine。   I   can   hardly   write。   I   am   every   instant   hearing 

something  which  overpowers   me。   You  sink   your  voice�察  �but   I   can 

distinguish   the   tones   of   that   voice   when   they   would   be   lost   on 

others。!Too         good�察   �too    excellent     creature�     �You    do   us   justice�察�

indeed。      You     do    believe    that    there     is  true    attachment        and 

constancy        among      men。     Believe     it  to   be   most     fervent�察   �most 

undeviating�察�in

     Such a letter was not to be soon recovered from。 Half an hour¨s 

solitude   and   reflection   might   have   tranquillized   her�察  �but   the   ten 

minutes only which now passed before she was interrupted�察�with 

all   the   restraints    of   her   situation�察   �could    do   nothing     towards 

tranquillity。 Every moment rather brought fresh agitation。   It  was 

overpowering        happiness。      And    before    she   was   beyond     the   first 

stage of full sensation�察�Charles�察�Mary�察�and Henrietta all came in。 

    The absolute necessity of seeming like herself produced then an 

immediate struggle�察�but after a   while   she   could   do  no more。   She 

began   not   to   understand   a   word   they   said�察  �and   was   obliged   to 

plead   indisposition and   excuse   herself。   They   could   then   see   that 

she looked very ill!were shocked and concerned!and would not 

stir without her for the world。 This was dreadful� �Would they only 

have gone away�察�and left her in the quiet possession of t
