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 

Elliot!that      everything     was   settled   in  the   family   for  an   Union 

between Mr Elliot!& yourself。 It was added that you were to live

at Kellynch!that Kellynch was to be given up。 This�察�the Admiral 

knew could not be correct!But it occurred to him that it might be 

the wish of the Parties!And my commission from him Madam�察�is 

to say�察�that if the Family wish is such�察�his Lease of Kellynch shall 

be    cancel¨d�察   �&   he   &   my    sister   will  provide     themselves      with 

another home�察�without imagining themselves to be doing anything 

which under similar circumstances would not be done for them。! 

This   is   all   Madam。!A   very   few   words   in   reply   from   you   will   be 

sufficient。!That  I       should     be  the   person    commissioned        on   this 

subject   is   extraordinary� �and   believe   me           Madam�察     �it   is  no   less 

painful。!A        very   few   words     however      will  put    an   end   to   the 

awkwardness   &   distress   we   may  both  be   feeling。¨   Anne   spoke   a 

word or two�察�but they were un´intelligible!And before she could 

command herself�察�he added�察�`If you only tell me that the Admiral 

may   address   a   Line   to   Sir   Walter�察  �it   will   be   enough。   Pronounce 

only the words�察�he may。!I shall immediately follow him with your 

message。!¨ This was spoken�察�as with a fortitude which seemed to 

meet the message。!`No Sir!said Anne!There   is no  message。! 

You   are   misin!the   Admiral   is   misinformed。!I   do   justice   to   the 

kindness   of  his   Intentions�察  �but   he   is   quite   mistaken。   There   is   no 

Truth in any such report。¨!He was a moment silent。!She turned 

her   eyes   towards   him   for   the   first   time   since   his   re´entering   the 

room。   His   colour   was   varying!&   he   was   looking   at   her   with   all 

the Power & Keenness�察�which she believed no other eyes than his�察�

possessed。 `No Truth in any such report� �he repeated。!No Truth 

in   any part   of  it�拭�!`None。¨!He   had   been   standing   by   a   chair! 

enjoying the relief of leaning on it!or of playing with it�察�he now 

sat    down!drew         it  a  little  nearer   to   her!&      looked�察   �with    an 

expression       which    had    something      more    than   penetration      in  it�察�

a silent�察�but a very powerful Dialogue�察�on his side�察�Supplication�察�

on her¨s acceptance。!Still�察�a little nearer!and a hand taken and 

pressed!and   `Anne�察  �my   own   dear   Anne� �!bursting   forth   in   the 

fullness of exquisite feeling!and all Suspense & Indecision were 

over。!They   were   re´united。   They   were   restored   to   all   that   had 

been     lost。  They    were    carried    back   to   the  past�察  �with    only   an 

increase     of  attachment   &      confidence�察    �&   only   such   a  flutter   of 

present Delight as made them little fit for the interruption of Mrs 

Croft�察�when she joined   them  not  long  afterwards。!She  probably�察�

in   the   observations     of   the  next   ten  minutes�察  �saw   something   to 

suspect!&         tho¨  it  was    hardly    possible    for   a  woman      of   her 

description to wish the Mantuamaker had imprisoned her longer�察�

she might be very likely wishing for some excuse to run about the 

house�察�some storm to break the windows above�察�or a summons to 

the    Admiral¨s     Shoemaker        below。!Fortune         favoured     them     all 

however in another way!in a gentle�察�steady rain!just happily set 

in as the Admiral returned & Anne rose to go。!She was earnestly 

invited to stay dinner�察�a note was dispatched to Camden Place!

Husband   &   wife�察  �either   by   the   wife¨s   contrivance�察  �or   by   simply

together!gone   up   stairs   to  hear a noise�察  �or  down  stairs   to   settle 

their accounts�察�or upon the Landing place to trim the Lamp。!And 

these   precious   moments  were   turned   to  so  good   an   account   that 

all   the   most   anxious   feelings   of   the   past   were   gone   through。! 

Before they parted at night�察�Anne had the felicity of being assured 

in the first place that!��so far from being altered for the worse�。�! 

she had gained inexpressibly in personal Loveliness�察�& that as to

Character!her¨s was now fixed on his Mind as Perfection itself! 

maintaining the just Medium of Fortitude & Gentleness�察�that he 

had never ceased to love & prefer her�察�though it had been only at 

Uppercross that he had learn¨t to do her Justice!& only at Lyme

Lyme      he   had   received     Lessons     of  more    than    one   kind�察�the 

passing admiration   of  Mr  Elliot  had at   least roused  him�察  �and   the 

scenes      on   the    Cobb     &   at   Capt。    Harville¨s     had    fixed    her 

superiority。!In his preceding attempts to attach himself to Louisa 

Musgrove�察。�the attempts of Anger & Pique��!he protested that he 

had   continually   felt   the   impossibility   of   really   caring   for   Louisa�察�

though till that day�察�till the leisure for reflection which followed it�察�

which Louisa¨s could so ill bear a comparison�察�or the perfect�察�the 

unrivalled hold it possessed over his own。!There he had learnt to 

distinguish between the steadiness of Principle & the Obstinacy of 

Self´will�察�between the Darings of  Heedlessness�察  �&   the   Resolution 

of a collected Mind!there he had seen everything to exalt in his 

estimation the Woman he had lost�察�& there begun to deplore the 

pride�察  �the   folly�察  �the   madness   of   resentment   which   had   kept   him 

from   trying   to   regain   her�察  �when   thrown   in   his   way。   From   that 

period to the present had his penance been the most severe。!He 

had no sooner been free from the horror & remorse attending the 

first few days of Louisa¨s accident�察�no sooner begun to feel himself 

alive again�察�than he had begun to feel himself though alive�察�not at 

liberty。!He found that he was considered by  his   friend   Harville�察�

as   an   engaged   Man。   The   Harvilles   entertained   not   a   doubt   of   a 

mutual attachment between him & Louisa!and though  this   to  a 

degree�察   �was    contradicted      instantly!it     yet   made     him   feel   that
