   ^I assure you it is not in my power。 ̄ 

   He then took leave of the whole party。 

   ^Is there no chance of my seeing you and your sisters in town 

this winter�察�Miss Dashwood�拭院�

   ^I am afraid�察�none at all。 ̄ 

   ^Then I must bid you farewell for a  longer  time   than  I   should 

wish to do。 ̄ 

   To Marianne�察�he merely bowed and said nothing。 

   ^Come Colonel�察院�said Mrs。  Jennings�察  �before   you  go�察  �do  let  us 

know what you are going about。 ̄ 

   He wished her a good morning�察�and�察�attended by Sir John�察�left 

the room。 

   The complaints and lamentations which politeness had hitherto 

restrained�察�now burst forth universally�察�and they all agreed again 

and again how provoking it was to be so disappointed。 

   ^I can guess what his business is�察�however�察院�said Mrs。 Jennings 

exultingly。

    ^Can you�察�ma¨am�拭院�said almost every body。 

    ^Yes�察�it is about Miss Williams�察�I am sure。 ̄ 

    ^And who is Miss Williams�拭院�asked Marianne。 

    ^What� �do not you know who Miss Williams is�拭�I am sure  you 

must have heard of her before。 She is a relation of the  Colonel¨s�察�

my dear�察�a very near relation。 We will not say how near�察�for fear of 

shocking the young ladies。 ̄ Then�察�lowering her voice a little�察�she 

said to Elinor�察 �She is his natural daughter。 ̄ 

    ^Indeed� 院�

    ^Oh�察�yes�察�and as like him as she can stare。 I dare say the Colonel 

will leave her all his fortune。 ̄ 

    When Sir John returned�察�he joined most heartily in the general 

regret     on   so   unfortunate      an    event�察   �concluding      however      by 

observing�察     �that   as   they   were    all  got   together�察   �they   must     do 

something by way of being happy�察�and after some consultation   it 

was    agreed�察   �that   although     happiness     could   only   be   enjoyed    at 

Whitwell�察  �they   might   procure   a   tolerable   composure   of   mind   by 

driving     about    the   country。    The    carriages    were    then    ordered�察�

Willoughby¨s   was   first�察  �and   Marianne   never   looked   happier   than 

when she got into it。 He drove through the park very fast�察�and they 

were   soon   out   of   sight�察  �and   nothing   more   of   them   was   seen   till 

their  return�察  �which  did not  happen   till after  the   return   of   all   the 

rest。 They both seemed delighted with their drive�察�but said only in 

general   terms   that   they   had   kept   in   the   lanes�察  �while   the   others 

went on the downs。 

    It was settled that there should be a dance in the evening�察�and 

that   every   body   should   be   extremely   merry   all   day   long。   Some 

more of the Careys came to dinner�察�and they had the pleasure of 

sitting down nearly twenty to table�察�which Sir John observed with

great   contentment。   Willoughby   took   his   usual   place   between   the 

two   elder   Miss   Dashwoods。   Mrs。   Jennings   sat   on   Elinor¨s   right 

hand�察�and they had not been long seated�察�before she leant behind 

her and Willoughby�察�and said to Marianne�察�loud enough for them 

both   to   hear�察   �I   have   found   you   out   in   spite   of   all   your   tricks。   I 

know where you spent the morning。 ̄ 

    Marianne coloured�察�and replied very hastily�察 �Where�察�pray�拭院� 

    ^Did not you know�察院�said Willoughby�察 �that we had been out in 

my curricle�拭院�

    ^Yes�察  �yes�察  �Mr。   Impudence�察  �I   know   that   very   well�察  �and   I   was 

determined   to   find   out where   you   had   been   to。!I   hope   you   like 

your   house�察  �Miss   Marianne。   It   is   a   very   large   one�察  �I   know�察  �and 

when I come to see you�察�I hope you will have new´furnished it�察�for 

it wanted it very much�察�when I was there six years ago。 ̄ 

    Marianne       turned     away     in  great    confusion。     Mrs。    Jennings 

laughed heartily�察�and Elinor found that in her resolution to know 

where     they   had    been�察  �she   had   actually   made      her   own   woman 

enquire      of  Mr。   Willoughby¨s      groom�察   �and    that   she   had   by   that 

method been informed that they had gone to Allenham�察�and spent 

a considerable time there in walking about the garden and going 

all over the house。 

    Elinor   could   hardly   believe   this   to   be   true�察  �as   it   seemed   very 

unlikely that Willoughby should propose�察�or Marianne consent�察�to 

enter the house while Mrs。 Smith was in it�察�with whom Marianne 

had not the smallest acquaintance。 

    As   soon   as   they   left   the   dining´room�察  �Elinor   enquired   of   her 

about   it�察  �and   great   was   her   surprise   when   she   found   that   every 

circumstance         related    by    Mrs。    Jennings      was    perfectly     true。 

Marianne was quite angry with her for doubting it。

    ^Why should you imagine�察�Elinor�察�that we did not go  there�察  �or 

that   we    did   not   see  the  house�拭  �Is   not   it  what   you   have   often 

wished to do yourself�拭院�

    ^Yes�察�Marianne�察�but I would not go while Mrs。 Smith was there�察�

and with no other companion than Mr。 Willoughby。 ̄ 

    ^Mr。   Willoughby   however   is   the   only   person   who   can   have   a 

right  to  shew  that  house�察  �and   as   he   went   in   an   open   carriage�察  �it 

was    impossible     to  have    any   other   companion。       I  never   spent   a 

pleasanter morning in my life。 ̄ 

    ^I   am   afraid�察院   �replied   Elinor�察    �that   the   pleasantness      of  an 

employment does not always evince its propriety。 ̄ 

    ^On the contrary�察�nothing can be a stronger proof of it�察�Elinor�察�

for if there had been any real impropriety in what I did�察�I should 

have been sensible of it at the time�察�for we always know when we 

are acting wrong�察�and with such a conviction I could have had no 

pleasure。 ̄ 

    ^But�察�my dear Marianne�察�as it has already exposed you to some 

very   impertinent   remarks�察  �do   you   not   now   begin         to   doubt   the 

discretion of your own conduct�拭院�

    ^If the impertinent remarks of Mrs。 Jennings are to be the proof 

of  impropriety  in conduct�察  �we   are all   offending   every   moment   of 

our lives。 I value not her censure any more than I   should   do  her 

commendation。 I am not sensible of having done anything wrong 

in   walking   over   Mrs。    Smith¨s     grounds�察   �or   in   seeing   her   house。 

They will one day be Mr。 Willoughby¨s�察�and! ̄ 

    ^If they were one day to be your own�察�Marianne�察�you would not 

be justified in what you have done。 ̄ 

    She   blushed   at   this   hint�察  �but   it   was   even   visibly   gratifying   to 

her�察�and after a ten minutes¨ interval of earnest thought�察�she came

to   her   sister   again�察  �and   said   with   great   good   humour�察   �Perhaps�察�

Elinor�察  �it was   rather  ill´judged in me   to   go   to   Allenham�察  �but   Mr。 

Willoughby wanted particularly to shew me the place�察�and   it  is   a 

charming   house�察  �I   assure   you。!There   is   one   remarkably   pretty
