kind�察�and sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself�察�because I
could find no language to describe them in but what was worn and
hackneyed out of all sense and meaning。 ̄
^I am convinced�察院 �said Edward�察 �that you really feel all the
delight in a fine prospect which you profess to feel。 But�察�in return�察�
your sister must allow me to feel no more than I profess。 I like a
fine prospect�察 �but not on picturesque principles。 I do not like
crooked�察�twisted�察�blasted trees。 I admire them much more if they
are tall�察 �straight�察 �and flourishing。 I do not like ruined�察 �tattered
cottages。 I am not fond of nettles or thistles�察�or heath blossoms。 I
have more pleasure in a snug farm´house than a watch´tower!
and a troop of tidy�察�happy villages please me better than the finest
banditti in the world。 ̄
Marianne looked with amazement at Edward�察�with compassion
at her sister。 Elinor only laughed。
The subject was continued no farther�察�and Marianne remained
thoughtfully silent�察 �till a new object suddenly engaged her
attention。 She was sitting by Edward�察�and in taking his tea from
Mrs。 Dashwood�察�his hand passed so directly before her�察�as to make
a ring�察�with a plait of hair in the centre�察�very conspicuous on one of
his fingers。
^I never saw you wear a ring before�察 �Edward�察院 �she cried。 ^Is
that Fanny¨s hair�拭 �I remember her promising to give you some。
But I should have thought her hair had been darker。 ̄
Marianne spoke inconsiderately what she really felt!but when

she saw how much she had pained Edward�察 �her own vexation at
her want of thought could not be surpassed by his。 He coloured
very deeply�察 �and giving a momentary glance at Elinor�察 �replied�察�
^Yes�察 �it is my sister¨s hair。 The setting always casts a different
shade on it�察�you know。 ̄
Elinor had met his eye�察�and looked conscious likewise。 That the
hair was her own�察 �she instantaneously felt as well satisfied as
Marianne�察�the only difference in their conclusions was�察�that what
Marianne considered as a free gift from her sister�察 �Elinor was
conscious must have been procured by some theft or contrivance
unknown to herself。 She was not in a humour�察�however�察�to regard
it as an affront�察�and affecting to take no notice of what passed�察�by
instantly talking of something else�察 �she internally resolved
henceforward to catch every opportunity of eyeing the hair and of
satisfying herself�察�beyond all doubt�察�that it was exactly the shade of
her own。
Edward¨s embarrassment lasted some time�察�and it ended in an
absence of mind still more settled。 He was particularly grave the
whole morning。 Marianne severely censured herself for what she
had said�察�but her own forgiveness might have been more speedy�察�
had she known how little offence it had given her sister。
Before the middle of the day�察�they were visited by Sir John and
Mrs。 Jennings�察�who�察�having heard of the arrival of a gentleman at
the cottage�察�came to take a survey of the guest。 With the assistance
of his mother´in´law�察�Sir John was not long in discovering that the
name of Ferrars began with an F。 and this prepared a future mine
of raillery against the devoted Elinor�察 �which nothing but the
newness of their acquaintance with Edward could have prevented
from being immediately sprung。 But�察�as it was�察 �she only learned�察�

from some very significant looks�察 �how far their penetration�察�
founded on Margaret¨s instructions�察�extended。
Sir John never came to the Dashwoods without either inviting
them to dine at the park the next day�察 �or to drink tea with them
that evening。 On the present occasion�察 �for the better
entertainment of their visitor�察 �towards whose amusement he felt
himself bound to contribute�察�he wished to engage them for both。
^You must drink tea with us to night�察院�said he�察 �for we shall be
quite alone!and tomorrow you must absolutely dine with us�察�for
we shall be a large party。 ̄
Mrs。 Jennings enforced the necessity。 ^And who knows but you
may raise a dance�察院 �said she。 ^And that will tempt you�察 �Miss
Marianne。 ̄
^A dance� 院�cried Marianne。 ^Impossible� �Who is to dance�拭院�
^Who� �why yourselves�察 �and the Careys�察 �and Whitakers to be
sure。!What� �you thought nobody could dance because a certain
person that shall be nameless is gone� 院�
^I wish with all my soul�察院�cried Sir John�察 �that Willoughby were
among us again。 ̄
This�察�and Marianne¨s blushing�察�gave new suspicions to Edward。
^And who is Willoughby�拭院 �said he�察 �in a low voice�察 �to Miss
Dashwood�察�by whom he was sitting。
She gave him a brief reply。 Marianne¨s countenance was more
communicative。 Edward saw enough to comprehend�察�not only the
meaning of others�察 �but such of Marianne¨s expressions as had
puzzled him before�察 �and when their visitors left them�察 �he went
immediately round to her�察 �and said�察 �in a whisper�察 �I have been
guessing。 Shall I tell you my guess�拭院�
^What do you mean�拭院�

^Shall I tell you。 ̄
^Certainly。 ̄
^Well then�察�I guess that Mr。 Willoughby hunts。 ̄
Marianne was surprised and confused�察 �yet she could not help
smiling at the quiet archness of his manner�察�and after a moment¨s
silence�察�said�察�
^Oh�察�Edward� �How can you�拭�But the time will come I hope 。 。 。
I am sure you will like him。 ̄
^I do not doubt it�察院 �replied he�察 �rather astonished at her
earnestness and warmth�察�for had he not imagined it to be a joke
for the good of her acquaintance in general�察 �founded only on a
something or a nothing between Mr。 Willoughby and herself�察 �he
would not have ventured to mention it。

CHAPTER XIX
dward remained a week at the cottage�察�he was earnestly
pressed by Mrs。 Dashwood to stay longer�察 �but�察 �as if he
E
were bent only on self´mortification�察�he seemed resolved
to be gone when his enjoyment among his friends was at the
height。 His spirits�察 �during the last two or three days�察 �though still
very unequal�察 �were greatly improved!he grew more and more
partial to the house and environs!never spoke of going away
without a sigh!declared his time to be wholly disengaged!even
doubted to what place he should go when he left them!but still�察�
go he must。 Never had any week passed so quickly!he could
hardly believe it to be gone。 He said so repeatedly�察�other things he
said too�察�which marked the turn of his feelings a
