neighbouring   door�察  �when   a   loud   one   was   suddenly   heard   which 

could     not   be  mistaken      for  one   at   any   other   house�察   �Elinor    felt 

secure   of   its   announcing   Willoughby¨s   approach�察  �and   Marianne�察�

starting up�察�moved towards the door。 Every thing was silent�察�this 

could not be borne many seconds�察�she opened the door�察�advanced 

a   few   steps   towards   the   stairs�察  �and   after   listening   half  a   minute�察�

returned   into  the   room   in  all   the   agitation   which  a   conviction   of 

having  heard   him   would  naturally  produce�察  �in   the  ecstasy  of  her 

feelings at that instant she could not help exclaiming�察 �Oh�察�Elinor�察�

it is Willoughby�察�indeed it is� 院�and seemed almost ready to throw 

herself into his arms�察�when Colonel Brandon appeared。 

    It   was   too   great   a   shock   to   be   borne   with   calmness�察  �and   she 

immediately left the room。 Elinor was disappointed too�察�but at the 

same   time   her  regard   for  Colonel   Brandon   ensured   his   welcome 

with her�察�and she felt particularly hurt that a man so partial to her 

sister should perceive that she experienced nothing but grief and 

disappointment   in   seeing   him。   She   instantly   saw   that   it   was   not 

unnoticed by him�察�that he even observed Marianne as she quitted 

the room�察�with such astonishment and concern�察�as hardly left him 

the recollection of what civility demanded towards herself。 

    ^Is your sister ill�拭院�said he。 

    Elinor answered in some distress that she was�察�and then talked 

of head´aches�察�low spirits�察�and over fatigues�察�and of every thing to 

which she could decently attribute her sister¨s behaviour。 

    He   heard   her  with  the   most  earnest  attention�察  �but   seeming   to 

recollect himself�察�said no more on the subject�察�and began directly 

to   speak   of   his   pleasure   at   seeing   them   in   London�察  �making   the 

usual inquiries about their journey�察  �and  the   friends   they  had   left 

behind。

    In this calm kind of way�察�with very little interest on either side�察�

they    continued      to  talk�察  �both   of  them     out   of  spirits�察 �and    the 

thoughts of both engaged elsewhere。 Elinor wished very much to 

ask whether Willoughby were then in town�察�but she was afraid of 

giving him pain by any inquiry after his rival�察�and at length by way 

of   saying   something�察  �she   asked   if   he   had   been   in   London   ever 

since     she   had    seen   him    last。   ^Yes�察院   �he   replied�察   �with   some 

embarrassment�察 �almost ever since�察�I have been once  or  twice  at 

Delaford   for   a   few   days�察  �but   it   has   never   been   in   my   power   to 

return to Barton。 ̄ 

    This�察�and the manner in which it was said�察�immediately brought 

back to her remembrance all the circumstances of his quitting that 

place�察�with the uneasiness and suspicions they had caused to Mrs。 

Jennings�察�and she was fearful that her question had implied much 

more curiosity on the subject than she had ever felt。 

    Mrs。 Jennings soon came in。 ^Oh� �Colonel�察院�said she�察�with her 

usual noisy cheerfulness�察 �I am monstrous glad to see you!sorry I 

could not come before!beg your pardon�察�but I have been forced 

to   look   about   me   a   little�察  �and   settle   my   matters�察  �for   it   is   a   long 

while since I have been at home�察�and you know one has always a 

world   of   little   odd   things   to   do   after   one   has   been   away   for   any 

time�察�and then I have had Cartwright to settle with!Lord�察�I have 

been as busy  as   a bee   ever  since  dinner�  �But  pray�察  �Colonel�察  �how 

came you to conjure out that I should be in town to´day�拭院�

    ^I had the pleasure of hearing it at Mr。 Palmer¨s�察�where I have 

been dining。 ̄ 

    ^Oh�察�you did�察�well�察�and how do they all do at their house�拭�How 

does Charlotte do�拭�I warrant you she is a fine size by this time。 ̄ 

    ^Mrs。   Palmer  appeared   quite   well�察  �and   I   am   commissioned   to

tell you�察�that you will certainly see her to´morrow。 ̄ 

    ^Ay�察   �to  be   sure�察  �I  thought     as   much。    Well�察   �Colonel�察   �I  have 

brought  two   young  ladies   with  me�察  �you   see!that  is�察  �you   see   but 

one   of   them   now�察  �but   there   is   another   somewhere。   Your   friend�察�

Miss Marianne�察�too!which you will not be sorry to hear。 I do not 

know   what   you   and   Mr。   Willoughby   will   do   between   you   about 

her。 Ay�察�it is a fine thing to be young and handsome。 Well� �I   was 

young once�察�but I never was very handsome!worse luck for  me。 

However�察  �I   got  a   very   good   husband�察�and   I   don¨t  know   what   the 

greatest   beauty   can   do   more。   Ah�   �poor   man�   �he   has   been   dead 

these eight years and better。 But Colonel�察�where have you been to 

since we parted�拭�And how does your business go on�拭�Come�察�come�察�

let¨s have no secrets among friends。 ̄ 

    He   replied   with  his   accustomary  mildness   to all   her   inquiries�察�

but  without  satisfying  her  in  any。   Elinor  now began   to  make   the 

tea�察�and Marianne was obliged to appear again。 

    After  her  entrance�察 �Colonel   Brandon   became   more   thoughtful 

and silent than he had been before�察�and Mrs。 Jennings could not 

prevail     on   him    to   stay   long。   No    other   visitor    appeared      that 

evening�察�and the ladies were unanimous in agreeing to go early to 

bed。 

    Marianne       rose   the   next   morning      with   recovered     spirits   and 

happy   looks。   The   disappointment   of   the   evening   before   seemed 

forgotten in the expectation of what was to happen that day。 They 

had     not    long   finished     their   breakfast      before    Mrs。    Palmer¨s 

barouche   stopped   at   the   door�察  �and   in   a   few   minutes   she   came 

laughing  into   the   room�察  �so   delighted   to   see   them   all�察  �that   it   was 

hard to say whether she received most pleasure from meeting her 

mother or the Miss Dashwoods again。 So surprised at their coming

to town�察�though it was what she had rather expected all along�察�so 

angry      at  their   accepting      her   mother¨s     invitation     after   having 

declined her own�察�though at the same time she would never have 

forgiven them if they had not come� �

    ^Mr。   Palmer  will   be so  happy  to  see   you�察院  �said   she�察   �What  do 

you   think   he   said   when   he   heard   of   your   coming   with   mama�拭  �I 

forget what it was now�察�but it was something so droll� 院�

    After     an   hour    or   two    spent     in   what     her   mother      called 

comfortable   chat�察  �or   in   other   words�察  �in   every   variety   of   inquiry 

concerning all their acquaintance on Mrs。 Jennings¨s side�察�and in 

laughter without cause  on   Mrs。   Palmer¨s�察  �it  was   proposed by  the 

latter that they should all accompany her to some shops where she 

had   business   that   morning�察  �to   which   Mrs。   Jennings   and   Elinor 

readily   consented�察  �as       having   likewise     some     purchases      to  make 

themselves�察       �and    Marianne�察     �though      declining     it  at   first�察 �was 

induced to go likewise。
