my well´wishers�察�to see your cousin close by you�察�conversing and 

smiling�察�and feel all the horrible eligibilities and proprieties of the 

match� �To consider it as the certain wish of every being who could 

hope to influence you� �Even if your own feelings were reluctant or 

indifferent�察�to consider what powerful supports would be his� �Was 

it not enough to make the fool of me which I appeared�拭�How could 

I look on without agony�拭�Was not the very sight of the friend who 

sat   behind   you�察  �was   not   the   recollection   of   what   had   been�察  �the

not have suspected me now�察�the case is so different�察�and my age is 

so    different。   If  I  was   wrong     in   yielding   to   persuasion     once�察�

remember that it was to persuasion exerted on the side of safety�察�

not of risk。 When I yielded�察�I thought it was to duty�察  �but  no duty 

could be called in aid here。 In marrying a man indifferent to me�察�

all risk would have been incurred�察�and all duty violated。 ̄

acquired   of   your   character。   I   could   not   bring   it   into   play�察  �it   was 

overwhelmed�察  �buried�察  �lost   in   those   earlier   feelings   which   I   had 

been smarting under year after year。 I could think of you only as 

one    who     had   yielded�察   �who    had    given   me    up�察  �who    had    been 

influenced by any one rather than by me。 I saw you with the very 

person who had guided you in that year of misery。 I had no reason 

to believe her of less authority now。!The force of habit was to be 

added。 ̄ 

    ^I   should     have    thought�察院    �said   Anne�察    �that    my   manner       to 

yourself might have spared you much or all of this。 ̄ 

    ^No�察   �no�   �your    manner     might    be   only    the  ease    which    your 

engagement   to   another   man   would   give。   I   left   you   in   this   belief�察�

and yet!I was determined to see you again。 My spirits rallied with 

the   morning�察  �and   I   felt   that   I   had   still  a   motive  for   remaining 

here。 ̄ 

    At last Anne was at  home   again�察  �and   happier  than any  one  in 

that   house   could   have   conceived。   All   the   surprise   and   suspense�察�

and   every   other   painful   part   of   the   morning   dissipated   by   this 

conversation�察�she re´entered the house so happy as to be   obliged 

to   find   an   alloy   in   some   momentary   apprehensions   of   its   being 

impossible to last。 An interval of meditation�察�serious and grateful�察�

was    the   best   corrective    of  everything      dangerous      in  such   high´ 

wrought felicity�察�and she went to her room�察�and grew steadfast and 

fearless in the thankfulness of her enjoyment。 

    The    evening     came�察   �the   drawing´rooms        were    lighted   up�察  �the 

company assembled。 It was but a card party�察�it was but a mixture 

of those who had never met before�察�and those who met too often! 

a commonplace business�察�too numerous for intimacy�察�too small for 

variety�察  �but   Anne   had   never   found   an   evening   shorter。   Glowing

and     lovely   in   sensibility    and   happiness�察     �and    more    generally 

admired than she thought about or cared for�察�she had cheerful or 

forbearing  feelings   for  every  creature   around   her。   Mr。   Elliot   was 

there�察�she avoided�察�but she could pity him。 The Wallises�察�she had 

amusement         in  understanding       them。    Lady    Dalrymple      and   Miss 

Carteret�察�they would soon be innoxious cousins to her。 She cared 

not   for   Mrs。   Clay�察  �and   had    nothing    to  blush   for  in  the   public 

manners of her father and sister。 With  the   Musgroves�察  �there   was 

the   happy   chat   of   perfect   ease�察  �with   Captain   Harville�察  �the   kind´ 

hearted      intercourse     of  brother    and    sister�察 �with    Lady    Russell�察�

attempts      at  conversation�察     �which    a  delicious    consciousness       cut 

short�察    �with   Admiral      and    Mrs。    Croft�察  �everything      of  peculiar 

cordiality     and   fervent    interest�察  �which     the   same    consciousness 

sought to conceal�察�and with Captain Wentworth�察�some moments 

of communications continually occurring�察�and always the hope of 

more�察�and always the knowledge of his being there� �

    It was in one of these short meetings�察�each apparently occupied 

in admiring a fine display of greenhouse plants�察�that she said! 

    ^I   have   been   thinking   over   the   past�察  �and   trying   impartially   to 

judge of the right and wrong�察�I mean with regard to myself�察�and I 

must believe that I was right�察�much as I suffered from it�察�that I was 

perfectly  right  in   being  guided by  the   friend   whom   you   will   love 

better than you do now。 To me�察�she was in the place of a parent。 

Do not mistake me�察�however。 I am not saying that she did not err 

in her advice。 It was�察�perhaps�察�one of those cases in which advice is 

good or bad only as the event decides�察�and for myself�察�I certainly 

never should�察�in any circumstance of tolerable similarity�察�give such 

advice。 But I mean�察�that I was right in submitting to her�察�and that 

if I had done otherwise�察�I should have suffered more in continuing

have     suffered    in  my   conscience。      I  have   now�察   �as  far  as   such   a 

sentiment       is  allowable     in  human      nature�察   �nothing     to  reproach

    ^Not  yet。   But  there   are   hopes   of   her   being   forgiven   in   time。   I 

trust    to  being    in  charity    with   her   soon。    But   I  too   have   been 

thinking      over    the   past�察  �and    a  question     has    suggested      itself�察�

whether   there   may   not   have   been   one   person   more   my   enemy 

even than that lady�拭�My own self。 Tell me if�察  �when   I   returned  to 

England in the year eight�察�with a   few  thousand   pounds�察�and   was 

posted   into   the   Laconia�察  �if   I   had   then   written   to   you�察  �would   you

of it�察�or desire it�察�as what could alone crown all my other success�察�

but I was proud�察�too proud to ask again。 I did not understand you。 

I shut my eyes�察�and would not understand you�察�or do you justice。 

This   is a   recollection  which  ought  to  make me   forgive   every   one 

sooner   than   myself。   Six   years   of   separation   and   suffering   might 

have   been spared。   It  is   a sort  of  pain�察  �too�察  �which  is new  to  me。   I
