that will all come out in the right place。 I give no hints。!Why�察�Miss
Elliot�察 �we begin to hear strange things of you!��smiling in her
face��!But you have not much the Look of it!as Grave as a little
Judge。¨!Anne blushed。!`Aye�察�aye�察�that will do。 Now�察�it is right。 I
thought we were not mistaken。¨ She was left to guess at the
direction of his Suspicions�察�the first wild idea had been of some
disclosure from his Brother in law!but she was ashamed the next
moment!& felt how far more probable that he should be meaning
Mr E。!The door was opened!& the Man evidently beginning to
deny his Mistress�察�when the sight of his Master stopped him。 The
Admiral enjoyed the joke exceedingly。 Anne thought his triumph
over Stephen rather too long。 At last however�察 �he was able to
invite her upstairs�察�& stepping before her said!`I will just go up

to the P。 Office�察�but if you will only sit down for 5 minutes I am
sure Sophy will come!and you will find nobody to disturb you!
there is nobody but Frederick here!¨ opening the door as he
spoke。!Such a person to be passed over as a Nobody to her� �
After being allowed to feel quite secure!indifferent!at her ease�察�
to have it burst on her that she was to be the next moment in the
same room with him� �No time for recollection� �for planning
behaviour�察 �or regulating manners� �There was time only to turn
pale�察 �before she had passed through the door�察 �& met the
astonished eyes of Capt。 W。 who was sitting by the fire pretending
to read & prepared for no greater surprise than the Admiral¨s
hasty return。!Equally unexpected was the meeting�察�on each side。
There was nothing to be done however�察�but to stifle feelings & be
quietly polite�察�and the Admiral was too much on the alert�察 �to
leave any troublesome pause。!He repeated again what he had
said before about his wife & everybody!insisted on Anne¨s sitting
down & being perfectly comfortable�察�was sorry he must leave her
himself�察 �but was sure Mrs Croft would be down very soon�察 �&
would go upstairs & give her notice directly。!Anne was sitting
down�察 �but now she arose again!to entreat him not to interrupt
Mrs C。!& re´urge the wish of going away & calling another
time。!But the Admiral would not hear of it�察�and if she did not
return to the charge with unconquerable Perseverance�察�or did not
with a more passive Determination walk quietly out of the room!

reaching the door�察 �said�察 �Frederick�察 �a word with you�察 �if you
please。¨!Capt。 W。 went to him�察 �and instantly�察 �before they were
well out of the room�察 �the Admiral continued!`As I am going to
leave you together�察�it is but fair I should give you something to talk
of!& so�察�if you please!¨ Here the door was very firmly closed�察�she
could guess by which of the two�察 �and she lost entirely what
immediately followed�察 �but it was impossible for her not to
distinguish parts of the rest�察�for the Admiral on the strength of the
Door¨s being shut was speaking without any management of voice�察�
tho¨ she could hear his companion trying to check him。!She
could not doubt their being speaking of her。 She heard her own
name & Kellynch repeatedly!she was very much distressed。 She
knew not what to do�察�or what to expect!and among other agonies
felt the possibility of Capt。 W。¨s not returning into the room at all�察�
which after her consenting to stay would have been!too bad for
Language。!They seemed to be talking of the Admiral¨s Lease of
Kellynch。 She heard him say something of `the Lease being signed
or not signed¨!that was not likely to be a very agitating subject!
but then followed `I hate to be at an uncertainty!I must know at
once!Sophy thinks the same。¨ Then�察 �in a lower tone�察 �Capt。 W。
seemed remonstrating!wanting to be excused!wanting to put
something off。 `Phoo�察 �Phoo!answered the Admiral�察 �now is the
Time。 If you will not speak�察�I will stop & speak myself。¨!`Very well
Sir�察 �very well Sir�察 �followed with some impatience from his
companion�察 �opening the door as he spoke。!`You will then!you
promise you will�拭� replied the Admiral�察 �in all the power of his
natural voice�察 �unbroken even by one thin door。!`Yes�察 �Sir!Yes。¨
And the Admiral was hastily left�察 �the door was closed�察 �and the
moment arrived in which Anne was alone with Capt。 W。 She could

not attempt to see how he looked�察�but he walked immediately to a
window�察�as if irresolute & embarrassed�察�and for about the space
of 5 seconds�察 �she repented what she had done!censured it as
unwise�察 �blushed over it as indelicate。!She longed to be able to
speak of the weather or the Concert!but could only compass the
relief of taking a Newspaper in her hand。!The distressing pause
was soon over however�察 �he turned round in half a minute�察 �and
coming towards the Table where she sat�察�said�察�in a voice of effort
& constraint!`You must have heard too much already Madam to
be in any doubt of my having promised Admiral Croft to speak to
you on some particular subject!& this conviction determines me
to do it!however repugnant to my!to all my sense of propriety�察�
to be taking so great a liberty。!You wiil acquit me of
Impertinence I trust�察 �by considering me as speaking only for
another�察 �and speaking by Necessity�察�and the Admiral is a Man
who can never be thought Impertinent by one who knows him as
you do!。 His Intentions are always the kindest & the Best�察�and
you will perceive that he is actuated by none other�察 �in the
application which I am now with!with very peculiar feelings!
obliged to make。¨!He stopped!but merely to recover breath�察�
not seeming to expect any answer。!Anne listened�察�as if her Life
depended on the issue of his Speech。!He proceeded�察 �with a
forced alacrity。!`The Admiral�察 �Madam�察 �was this morning
confidently informed that you were!upon my word I am quite at
a loss�察�ashamed!��breathing & speaking quick��!the awkwardness
of giving Information of this sort to one of the Parties!You can be
at no loss to understand me!It was very confidently said that Mr
