she spoke�察�and her unsteady voice�察�plainly shewed。 

    ^I wish to assure you both�察院�said she�察 �that I see every thing!as 

you can desire me to do。 ̄ 

    Mrs。    Dashwood       would     have    interrupted     her   instantly    with 

soothing tenderness�察�had not Elinor�察�who really wished to hear her 

sister¨s   unbiased   opinion�察  �by  an   eager   sign�察  �engaged   her   silence。 

Marianne slowly continued! 

    ^It is a great relief to me!what Elinor told me this morning!I 

have     now    heard    exactly    what    I  wished     to  hear。 ̄!For       some 

moments   her   voice   was   lost�察  �but   recovering   herself�察  �she   added�察�

and     with   greater    calmness     than    before!^I      am    now    perfectly 

satisfied�察�I wish for no change。 I never could have been happy with 

him�察  �after   knowing�察  �as   sooner   or   later   I   must   have   known�察  �all 

this。!I should have had no confidence�察�no esteem。 Nothing could 

have done it away to my feelings。 ̄ 

    ^I know it!I know it�察院�cried her mother。 ^Happy with a man of 

libertine   practices� �With   one         who   so   injured    the  peace    of   the 

dearest   of   our   friends�察  �and   the   best   of   men� �No!my   Marianne 

has    not   a   heart   to   be   made    happy     with    such   a   man� �Her 

conscience�察  �her  sensitive   conscience�察  �would   have   felt   all   that   the 

conscience of her husband ought to have felt。 ̄ 

    Marianne sighed�察�and repeated�察 �I wish for no change。 ̄ 

    ^You consider the matter�察院�said Elinor�察 �exactly as a good mind 

and  a sound   understanding  must  consider  it�察  �and I   dare   say   you 

perceive�察  �as   well   as   myself�察  �not   only   in   this�察  �but   in   many   other 

circumstances�察�reason enough to be convinced that your marriage 

must      have     involved      you    in    many      certain     troubles     and 

disappointments�察�in which you would have been poorly supported 

by an affection�察�on his side�察�much less certain。   Had   you  married�察�

you     must      have     been     always     poor。     His    expensiveness         is 

acknowledged   even   by   himself�察  �and   his   whole   conduct   declares 

that self´denial is a word hardly understood by him。 His demands 

and   your   inexperience   together�察  �on   a   small�察  �very   small   income�察�

must     have    brought     on   distresses    which    would     not   be   the less 

grievous      to   you�察   �from     having     been     entirely    unknown        and 

unthought   of   before。      Your   sense   of   honour   and      honesty   would 

have led you�察�I know�察�when aware of your situation�察�to attempt all 

the   economy  that  would   appear  to  you  possible�察  �and   perhaps�察  �as 

long  as   your  frugality  retrenched   only  on   your  own   comfort�察  �you 

might have been suffered to practise it�察�but beyond that!and how 

little could the   utmost  of  your  single  management do  to  stop   the 

ruin   which   had   begun   before   your   marriage�拭�Beyond that�察  �had 

you endeavoured�察�however reasonably�察�to abridge his enjoyments�察�

is   it   not   to   be   feared�察 �that   instead  of  prevailing   on    feelings   so 

selfish    to   consent     to  it�察 �you   would     have    lessened      your   own 

influence on his heart�察�and made him regret the connection which 

had involved him in such difficulties�拭院�

    Marianne¨s lips quivered�察�and she repeated the word ^Selfish�拭院�

in a tone that implied!^do you really think him selfish�拭院�

    ^The     whole     of   his   behaviour�察院     �replied     Elinor�察    �from     the 

beginning       to   the   end    of   the   affair�察  �has   been     grounded       on 

selfishness。   It   was   selfishness      which   first   made    him   sport   with 

your   affections�察  �which   afterwards�察  �when   his   own   were   engaged�察�

made him delay the confession of it�察�and which finally carried him 

from   Barton。   His   own   enjoyment�察  �or  his   own   ease�察  �was�察  �in   every 

particular�察�his ruling principle。 ̄ 

    ^It is very true。 My happiness never was his object。 ̄ 

    ^At present�察院�continued Elinor�察   �he  regrets   what  he  has done。

And why does he regret it�拭�Because he finds it has not answered 

towards   himself。   It   has   not   made   him   happy。   His   circumstances 

are now unembarrassed!he suffers from no evil of that kind�察�and 

he   thinks   only   that   he   has   married   a   woman   of   a   less   amiable 

temper than yourself。 But does it follow that had he married you�察�

he    would    have    been   happy�拭�The         inconveniences       would     have 

been different。 He would then have suffered under the pecuniary 

distresses   which�察  �because   they   are   removed�察  �he   now   reckons   as 

nothing。   He   would   have   had   a   wife   of   whose   temper   he   could 

make no complaint�察�but he would have been always necessitous! 

always   poor�察  �and   probably   would   soon   have  learned   to   rank   the 

innumerable comforts of a clear estate and good income as of far 

more     importance�察     �even    to  domestic     happiness�察    �than    the  mere 

temper of a wife。 ̄ 

    ^I have not a doubt of it�察院�said Marianne�察 �and I have nothing to 

regret!nothing but my own folly。 ̄ 

    ^Rather   say   your   mother¨s   imprudence�察  �my   child�察院  �said   Mrs。 

Dashwood�察 �she must be answerable。 ̄ 

    Marianne would not let her proceed�察�and Elinor�察�satisfied that 

each felt  their  own   error�察  �wished   to  avoid  any  survey  of  the  past 

that might weaken her sister¨s spirits�察�she�察�therefore�察�pursuing the 

first subject�察�immediately continued�察�

    ^One observation may�察�I think�察�be fairly drawn from the whole 

of the story!that all Willoughby¨s difficulties have arisen from the 

first offence against virtue�察�in his behaviour to Eliza Williams。 That 

crime has been the origin of every lesser one�察�and of all his present 

discontents。 ̄ 

    Marianne       assented     most    feelingly    to  the   remark�察    �and    her 

mother   was      led   by   it   to   an  enumeration    of  Colonel    Brandon¨s

injuries and merits�察�warm as friendship and design could unitedly 

dictate。 Her daughter did not look�察�however�察�as if much of it were 

heard by her。 

    Elinor�察  �according   to   her   expectation�察  �saw   on   the   two   or   three 

following days�察�that Marianne did not continue to gain strength as 

she   had done�察  �but   while   her   resolution   was   unsubdued�察  �and   she 

still tried to appear cheerful and easy�察�her sister could safely trust 

to the effect of time upon her health。 

    Margaret   returned�察  �and   the   family   were   again   all   restored   to 

each other�察�again quietly settled at the cottage�察�and if not pursuing 

their  usual   studies   with  quite   so   much   vigour   as   when   they   first 

came to Barton�察�at least planning a vigorous prosecution of them 

in future。
