symptoms。        On    the    contrary�察    �with    a   mind     and    body     alike 

strengthened   by   rest�察  �she   looked   and   spoke   with   more   genuine 

spirit�察�anticipating the pleasure   of  Margaret¨s   return�察�and   talking 

of   the   dear   family   party   which   would   then   be   restored�察  �of   their 

mutual pursuits and cheerful society�察�as the only happiness worth 

a wish。 

    ^When       the   weather     is   settled�察  �and    I  have    recovered      my 

strength�察院  �said   she�察   �we   will   take   long   walks   together   every   day。 

We will walk to the farm at the edge of the down�察�and see how the 

children     go   on�察 �we    will  walk   to  Sir   John¨s    new   plantations     at 

Barton Cross�察�and the Abbeyland�察�and we will often go to the old 

ruins of the Priory�察�and try to trace its foundations as far as we are 

told   they   once   reached。   I   know   we   shall   be   happy。   I   know   the 

summer will pass happily away。 I mean never to be later in rising 

than six�察�and from that time till dinner I shall divide every moment 

between       music    and   reading。    I  have    formed     my   plan�察  �and    am 

determined to enter on a course of serious study。 Our own library 

is   too   well   known   to   me�察  �to   be   resorted   to   for   any   thing   beyond 

mere amusement。 But there are many works well worth reading at

the Park�察�and there are others of more modern production which I 

know I can borrow of Colonel Brandon。 By reading only six hours 

a´day�察�I shall gain in the course of a twelve´month a great deal of 

instruction which I now feel myself to want。 ̄ 

    Elinor   honoured   her   for   a   plan   which   originated   so   nobly   as 

this�察�though smiling to see the same eager fancy which had been 

leading     her   to   the  extreme      of  languid    indolence     and    selfish 

repining�察�now at work in introducing excess into a scheme of such 

rational employment and virtuous self´control。 Her smile however 

changed       to  a   sigh   when     she    remembered        that   promise     to 

Willoughby       was    yet   unfulfilled�察   �and   feared    she    had   that   to 

communicate   which   might   again   unsettle   the   mind   of   Marianne�察�

and ruin at least for a time this fair prospect of busy tranquillity。 

Willing therefore to delay the evil hour�察�she resolved to wait till her 

sister¨s health were more secure�察�before she appointed it。 But the 

resolution was made only to be broken。 

    Marianne      had    been   two   or   three   days   at  home�察   �before    the 

weather was fine enough for an invalid like herself to venture out。 

But at last a soft�察�genial morning appeared�察  �such  as  might  tempt 

the daughter¨s wishes and the mother¨s confidence�察�and Marianne�察�

leaning   on   Elinor¨s   arm�察  �was   authorised   to   walk   as   long   as   she 

could without fatigue�察�in the lane before the house。 

    The sisters set out at a pace�察�slow as the feebleness of Marianne 

in   an   exercise   hitherto   untried   since   her   illness   required�察�and 

they had advanced only so far beyond the house as to admit a full 

view of the hill�察�the important hill behind�察�when pausing with her 

eyes turned towards it�察�Marianne calmly said�察�

    ^There�察    �exactly    there�察院�pointing        with   one    hand�察    �on   that 

projecting mound�察�there I fell�察�and there I first saw Willoughby。 ̄

    Her voice sunk with the word�察�but presently reviving she added�察�

    ^I am thankful to find that I can look with so little pain on the 

spot� �shall we ever talk on that subject�察�Elinor�拭院�hesitatingly it 

was said。!^Or will it be wrong�拭�I can talk of it now�察�I hope�察�as I 

ought to do。 ̄! 

    Elinor tenderly invited her to be open。 

    ^As for regret�察院�said Marianne�察 �I have done with that�察�as far as 

he is concerned。 I do not mean to talk to you of what my feelings 

have been for him�察�but what they are now。!At present�察�if I could 

be satisfied on one point�察�if I could be allowed to think that he was 

not always acting a part�察�not always deceiving me�察�but above all�察�

if I could be assured that he never was so very wicked as my fears 

have   sometimes   fancied   him�察  �since   the   story   of   that   unfortunate 

girl ̄! 

    She stopt。 Elinor joyfully treasured her words as she answered�察�

    ^If you could be assured of that�察�you think you should be easy。 ̄ 

    ^Yes。 My peace of mind is doubly involved in it�察�for not only is 

it horrible to suspect a person�察�who has been what he has been to 

me�察   �of  such    designs�察�but       what    must    it  make    me    appear     to 

myself�拭�What   in   a   situation   like       mine�察  �but   a   most   shamefully 

unguarded affection could expose me to ̄! 

    ^How      then�察院  �asked    her   sister�察  �would     you   account     for  his 

behaviour�拭院�

    ^I would suppose   him�察�Oh�  �how  gladly  would   I suppose   him�察�

only fickle�察�very�察�very fickle。 ̄ 

    Elinor   said   no   more。   She   was   debating   within   herself   on   the 

eligibility   of  beginning      her  story   directly�察  �or  postponing      it  till 

Marianne   were   in   stronger   health�察�and   they   crept   on   for   a   few 

minutes in silence。

    ^I   am  not  wishing  him   too  much  good�察院  �said   Marianne   at  last 

with  a   sigh�察   �when   I   wish   his   secret   reflections   may   be  no  more 

unpleasant than my own。 He will suffer enough in them。 ̄ 

    ^Do you compare your conduct with his�拭院�

    ^No。 I compare it with what it ought to have been�察�I compare it 

with yours。 ̄ 

    ^Our situations have borne little resemblance。 ̄ 

    ^They have borne more than our conduct。!Do not�察�my dearest 

Elinor�察�let your kindness defend what I know your judgment must 

censure。   My   illness   has   made   me   think!It   has   given   me   leisure 

and  calmness   for  serious   recollection。   Long before   I   was   enough 

recovered to talk�察�I was perfectly able to reflect。 I considered   the 

past�察   �I  saw   in  my   own    behaviour�察    �since   the   beginning      of  our 

acquaintance        with   him    last   autumn�察    �nothing     but   a  series    of 

imprudence towards myself�察�and want of kindness to others。 I saw 

that   my   own   feelings   had   prepared   my   sufferings�察  �and   that   my 

want of fortitude under them had almost led me to the grave。 My 

illness�察  �I   well   knew�察  �had   been   entirely   brought   on   by   myself   by 

such negligence of my own health�察�as I had felt even at the time to 

be wrong。 Had I died�察�it would have been self´destruction。 I did 

not know my danger  till  the   danger  was   removed�察�but  with  such 

feelings as these reflections gave me�察�I wonder at my recovery�察� 

wonder that the very eagerness of my desire to live�察�to have time 

for atonement to my God�察�and to you all�察�did not kill me at once。 

Had   I   died�察�in   what   peculiar  misery   should   I   have   left   you�察  �my 

nurse�察  �my   friend�察  �my   sister� �You�察  �who   had   seen   all   the   fretful 

selfishness of my latter days�察�who had known all the murmurings 

of my heart� �How should I have lived in your remembrance� �My 

mother too� �How could you have consoled her� �I cannot express
