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

in future。 

    Elinor   grew   impatient   for   some       tidings   of   Edward。   She     had 

heard nothing of him since her leaving London�察�nothing new of his 

plans�察�nothing certain even of his present abode。 Some letters had 

passed      between       her    and    her    brother�察    �in   consequence        of 

Marianne¨s illness�察�and in the first of John¨s�察�there   had   been   this 

sentence�此�^We          know   nothing   of     our   unfortunate      Edward�察    �and 

can   make   no   inquiries   on   so   prohibited   a   subject�察  �but   conclude 

him to be still at Oxford�察院�which was all the intelligence of Edward 

afforded   her   by   the   correspondence�察  �for   his   name   was   not   even 

mentioned in any of the succeeding letters。 She was not doomed�察�

however�察�to be long in ignorance of his measures。 

    Their   man´servant   had   been   sent   one   morning   to   Exeter   on 

business�察  �and   when�察  �as   he   waited   at   table�察  �he   had   satisfied   the 

inquiries of his mistress as to the event of his errand�察�this was his 

voluntary communication! 

    ^I suppose you know�察�ma¨am�察�that Mr。 Ferrars is married。 ̄

    Marianne gave a violent start�察�fixed her eyes upon Elinor�察�saw 

her   turning     pale�察 �and   fell  back   in  her   chair   in  hysterics。   Mrs。 

Dashwood�察�whose eyes�察�as she answered the servant¨s inquiry�察�had 

intuitively   taken   the   same   direction�察  �was   shocked   to   perceive   by 

Elinor¨s countenance how much she really suffered�察�and a moment 

afterwards�察�alike distressed by Marianne¨s situation�察�knew not on 

which child to bestow her principal attention。 

    The   servant�察  �who   saw   only   that   Miss   Marianne   was   taken   ill�察�

had     sense   enough     to   call  one   of  the   maids�察   �who�察   �with   Mrs。 

Dashwood¨s assistance�察�supported her into the other room。 By that 

time�察�Marianne was rather better�察  �and   her  mother  leaving  her  to 

the    care   of  Margaret     and   the   maid�察   �returned     to  Elinor�察  �who�察�

though still much disordered�察�had so far recovered the use of her 

reason and voice as to be just beginning an inquiry of Thomas�察�as 

to the source of his intelligence。 Mrs。 Dashwood immediately took 

all   that  trouble    on   herself�察  �and   Elinor    had   the   benefit   of  the 

information without the exertion of seeking it。 

    ^Who told you that Mr。 Ferrars was married�察�Thomas�拭院�

    ^I see Mr。 Ferrars myself�察�ma¨am�察�this morning in Exeter�察�and 

his lady too�察�Miss Steele as was。 They was stopping in a chaise at 

the door of the New London Inn�察�as I went there with a message 

from Sally at the Park to her brother�察�who is one of the post´boys。 I 

happened to look up as I went by the chaise�察�and so I see directly it 

was the youngest Miss Steele�察�so I took off my hat�察�and she knew 

me    and   called   to  me�察  �and   inquired     after  you�察  �ma¨am�察    �and   the 

young ladies�察�especially Miss Marianne�察�and bid me I should give 

her   compliments   and   Mr。   Ferrars¨s�察  �their   best   compliments   and 

service�察�and how sorry they was they had not time to come on and 

see you�察�but they was in a great hurry to go forwards�察�for they was

going   further   down   for   a   little   while�察  �but   howsever�察  �when   they 

come back�察�they¨d make sure to come and see you。 ̄ 

    ^But did she tell you she was married�察�Thomas�拭院�

    ^Yes�察  �ma¨am。   She   smiled�察  �and   said   how   she   had   changed   her 

name since she was in these parts。 She was always a very affable 

and   free´spoken   young   lady�察  �and   very   civil   behaved。   So�察  �I   made 

free to wish her joy。 ̄ 

    ^Was Mr。 Ferrars in the carriage with her�拭院�

    ^Yes�察  �ma¨am�察  �I   just see   him  leaning back   in   it�察  �but   he   did   not 

look up�察�he never was a gentleman much for talking。 ̄ 

    Elinor¨s   heart   could   easily  account   for   his   not   putting   himself 

forward�察      �and     Mrs。    Dashwood        probably       found     the    same 

explanation。 

    ^Was there no one else in the carriage�拭院�

    ^No�察�ma¨am�察�only they two。 ̄ 

    ^Do you know where they came from�拭院�

    ^They   come   straight   from   town�察  �as   Miss   Lucy!Mrs。   Ferrars 

told me。 ̄ 

    ^And are they going farther westward�拭院�

    ^Yes�察   �ma¨am!but   not   to   bide      long。   They   will   soon   be   back 

again�察�and then they¨d be sure and call here。 ̄ 

    Mrs。   Dashwood   now  looked   at   her   daughter�察  �but   Elinor   knew 

better than to expect them。 She recognised   the   whole   of  Lucy  in 

the   message�察  �and   was   very   confident   that   Edward   would   never 

come near them。 She observed in a low voice�察�to her mother�察�that 

they were probably going down to Mr。 Pratt¨s�察�near Plymouth。 

    Thomas¨s      intelligence     seemed     over。   Elinor    looked    as  if  she 

wished to hear more。 

    ^Did you see them off�察�before you came away�拭院�

    ^No�察�ma¨am!the horses were just coming out�察�but I could not 

bide any longer�察�I was afraid of being late。 ̄ 

    ^Did Mrs。 Ferrars look well�拭院�

    ^Yes�察�ma¨am�察�she said how she was very well�察�and to my mind 

she   was   always   a   very   handsome   young   lady!and   she   seemed 

vastly contented。 ̄ 

    Mrs。 Dashwood could think of no other  question�察�and   Thomas 

and    the   table´cloth�察   �now    alike   needless�察   �were    soon   afterwards 

dismissed。 Marianne had already sent to say�察  �that  she   should   eat 

nothing      more。    Mrs。    Dashwood¨s       and    Elinor¨s    appetites     were 

equally  lost�察  �and   Margaret  might  think   herself  very   well   off�察  �that 

with     so   much      uneasiness       as   both    her    sisters    had    lately 

experienced�察�so much reason as they had often had to be careless 

of   their   meals�察  �she   had   never    been    obliged    to  go  without     her 

dinner before。 

    When      the   dessert    and   the   wine    were    arranged�察    �and    Mrs。 

Dashwood and Elinor were left by themselves�察�they remained long 

together      in  a   similarity    of   thoughtfulness       and    silence。   Mrs。 

Dashwood feared to hazard any remark�察�and ventured not to offer 

consolation。      She   now    found    that   she   had   erred    in  relying    on 

Elinor¨s representation of herself�察�and justly concluded that every 

thing had been expressly softened  at  the   time�察  �to  spare   her  from 

an increase of unhappiness�察�suffering as she then had suffered for 

Marianne。 She found that she had been misled by the careful�察�the 

considerate   attention   of   her   daughter�察  �to   think   the   attachment�察�

which once she   had   so  well   understood�察�much  slighter  in   reality�察�

than she had been wont to believe�察�or than it was now proved   to 

be。   She   feared   that   under   this   persuasion   she   had   been   unjust�察�

inattentive�察  �nay�察  �almost   unkind�察  �to   her   Elinor�察�that   Marianne¨s
