my   own   abhorrence   of   myself。        Whenever   I     looked    towards     the 

past�察�I saw  some   duty  neglected�察  �or  some   failing  indulged。   Every 

body seemed injured by me。 The kindness�察�the unceasing kindness 

of  Mrs。   Jennings�察  �I   had   repaid   with   ungrateful   contempt。   To   the 

Middletons�察       �to  the    Palmers�察    �the   Steeles�察    �to  every     common 

acquaintance   even�察  �I   had   been   insolent  and   unjust�察  �with   a   heart 

hardened against their merits�察�and a temper irritated by their very 

attention。!To   John�察  �to   Fanny�察�yes�察  �even   to   them�察  �little   as   they 

deserve�察�I had given less than their due。 But you�察�you above all�察�

above   my  mother�察  �had   been   wronged by  me。 I�察  �and   only  I�察�knew 

your heart and its sorrows�察�yet to what did it influence me�拭�not 

to    any   compassion        that   could    benefit    you    or  myself。!Your 

example       was    before     me�察   �but   to   what     avail�拭�Was        I  more 

considerate       of   you    and    your    comfort�拭     �Did    I   imitate    your 

forbearance�察�or lessen your restraints�察�by taking any part in those 

offices of general complaisance or particular gratitude which you 

had hitherto been left to discharge alone�拭�No�察�not  less   when I 

knew  you   to  be   unhappy�察  �than   when   I   had   believed   you   at   ease�察�

did I turn away from every exertion of duty or friendship�察�scarcely 

allowing   sorrow   to   exist   but   with   me�察  �regretting   only  that   heart 

which had deserted and wronged me�察�and leaving you�察�for whom I 

professed an unbounded affection�察�to be miserable for my sake。 ̄ 

    Here    ceased     the  rapid    flow   of  her  self´reproving      spirit�察 �and 

Elinor�察�impatient to soothe�察�though too honest to flatter�察�gave her 

instantly   that   praise   and   support   which   her   frankness   and          her 

contrition      so  well   deserved。     Marianne       pressed    her    hand    and 

replied�察�

    ^You are very good。!The future must be my proof。 I have laid 

down my plan�察�and if I am capable of adhering to it!my feelings

shall be governed and my temper improved。 They shall no longer 

worry   others�察  �nor   torture   myself。   I   shall   now   live   solely   for   my 

family。 You�察�my mother�察�and Margaret�察�must henceforth be all the 

world   to   me�察  �you   will   share   my   affections   entirely   between   you。 

From   you�察  �from   my   home�察  �I   shall   never   again   have   the   smallest 

incitement to move�察�and if I do mix in other society�察�it will be only 

to shew that my spirit is humbled�察�my heart amended�察�and that I 

can practise the civilities�察�the lesser duties of life�察�with gentleness 

and   forbearance。   As   for   Willoughby!to   say   that   I   shall   soon   or 

that I shall ever forget him�察�would be idle。 His remembrance can 

be   overcome   by   no   change   of   circumstances   or   opinions。   But   it 

shall   be   regulated�察  �it   shall   be   checked   by   religion�察  �by   reason�察  �by 

constant employment。 ̄ 

    She paused!and added in a low voice�察 �If I could but know his 

heart�察�everything would become easy。 ̄ 

    Elinor�察   �who    had    now    been    for  some    time    reflecting    on   the 

propriety      or   impropriety      of  speedily     hazarding      her   narration�察�

without feeling at all nearer decision than at first�察�heard this�察�and 

perceiving   that   as   reflection   did   nothing�察  �resolution   must   do   all�察�

soon found herself leading to the fact。 

    She managed the recital�察�as she hoped�察�with address�察�prepared 

her anxious listener with caution�察�related simply and honestly the 

chief    points    on   which     Willoughby       grounded      his   apology�察    �did 

justice   to   his   repentance�察  �and   softened   only   his   protestations   of 

present   regard。   Marianne   said   not   a        word。!She       trembled�察    �her 

eyes   were   fixed   on   the   ground�察�and   her  lips became   whiter   than 

even sickness had left them。 A thousand inquiries sprung up from 

her heart�察�but she dared not urge   one。 She  caught  every  syllable 

with panting eagerness�察�her hand�察�unknowingly to herself�察�closely

curiosity   must   be   though   no   question   was   suffered   to   speak   it�察�

and  was carefully  minute   in   every  particular  of  speech and look�察�

entered the house�察�Marianne with a kiss of gratitude and these two 

words   just   articulate   through   her   tears�察   �Tell   mama�察院  �withdrew 

from     her   sister   and   walked    slowly    up   stairs。  Elinor    would     not 

attempt      to  disturb    a  solitude    so   reasonable      as  what    she   now 

sought�察�and with a mind anxiously pre´arranging its result�察�and a 

resolution of reviving the subject again�察�should Marianne fail to do 

it�察�she turned into the parlour to fulfil her parting injunction。

              her former favourite。 She rejoiced in his being cleared

              from some part of his imputed guilt�察�she was sorry for 

him�察�she   wished   him   happy。   But   the   feelings   of   the   past   could 

not    be    recalled。!Nothing        could    restore    him     with   a   faith 

unbroken!a character unblemished�察�to Marianne。 Nothing could 

do away the knowledge of what the latter had suffered through his 

means�察�nor remove the guilt of his conduct towards Eliza。 Nothing 

could replace him�察�therefore�察�in her former esteem�察�nor injure the 

interests of Colonel Brandon。 

   Had     Mrs。   Dashwood�察     �like  her   daughter�察   �heard    Willoughby¨s 

story    from   himself!had       she   witnessed     his  distress�察  �and   been 

under     the  influence    of  his  countenance      and   his   manner�察   �it  is 

probable that her compassion would have been greater。 But it was 

neither in Elinor¨s power�察�nor in her wish�察�to rouse such feelings in 

another�察  �by   her   retailed   explanation�察  �as   had   at   first   been   called

such     facts  as   were   really   due   to  his   character�察   �without    any 

embellishment of tenderness to lead the fancy astray。
