approve him farther�察�by a reflection which Elinor chanced one day 

to   make   on   the   difference   between   him   and   his   sister。   It   was   a 

contrast which recommended him most forcibly to her mother。 

    ^It   is  enough�察院   �said   she�察   �to   say   that  he  is  unlike   Fanny     is 

enough。 It implies everything amiable。 I love him already。 ̄

of him。 ̄

    Mrs。 Dashwood now took pains to get acquainted with him。 Her 

manners       were    attaching�察   �and   soon    banished     his  reserve。    She 

speedily comprehended all his merits�察�the persuasion of his regard 

for   Elinor   perhaps   assisted     her   penetration�察  �but   she    really   felt 

assured   of   his   worth�此  �and   even   that   quietness   of   manner�察  �which 

militated against all her established ideas of what  a   young  man¨s 

address ought to be�察�was no longer uninteresting when she knew 

his heart to be warm and his temper affectionate。 

    No    sooner     did  she    perceive    any    symptom      of   love   in  his 

behaviour to Elinor�察�than she considered their serious attachment 

as    certain�察  �and    looked    forward     to  their   marriage     as   rapidly 

approaching。 

    ^In a few months�察�my dear Marianne�察院�said she�察 �Elinor will�察�in 

all probability be settled for life。 We shall miss her�察�but she will be 

happy。 ̄ 

    ^Oh� �mama�察�how shall we do without her�拭院�

    ^My love�察�it will be scarcely a separation。 We shall live within a 

few miles of each other�察�and shall meet every day of our lives。 You 

will gain a brother�察�a real�察�affectionate brother。 I have the highest 

opinion     in   the  world    of  Edward¨s      heart。   But   you   look   grave�察�

Marianne�察�do you disapprove your sister¨s choice�拭院�

    ^Perhaps�察院      �said   Marianne�察      �I  may    consider     it  with   some 

surprise。   Edward   is   very   amiable�察  �and   I   love   him   tenderly。   But 

yet!he       is  not   the   kind    of  young     man!there        is  something

wanting!his figure is not striking�察�it has none of that grace which 

I should expect in the man who  could   seriously  attach my  sister。 

His   eyes   want   all   that   spirit�察  �that   fire�察  �which   at   once   announce 

virtue and intelligence。 And besides all this�察�I am afraid�察�mama�察�he 

has no real taste。 Music seems scarcely to attract him�察�and though 

he admires Elinor¨s drawings very much�察�it is not the admiration 

of a person who can understand their worth。 It is evident�察�in spite 

of   his   frequent   attention   to   her   while   she   draws�察  �that   in   fact   he 

knows   nothing   of   the      matter。    He    admires     as  a  lover�察  �not   as  a 

connoisseur。       To   satisfy   me�察  �those   characters   must   be       united。    I 

could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point 

coincide   with   my   own。   He   must   enter   into   all   my   feelings�察  �the 

same books�察�the same music must charm us both。 Oh� �mama�察�how 

spiritless�察  �how   tame   was   Edward¨s   manner   in   reading   to   us   last 

night�   �I   felt   for   my   sister   most   severely。   Yet   she   bore   it   with   so 

much composure�察�she seemed scarcely to notice it。 I could hardly 

keep my seat。 To hear those beautiful lines which have frequently 

almost      driven    me     wild�察  �pronounced        with    such    impenetrable 

calmness�察�such dreadful indifference� 院� 

    ^He     would    certainly     have   done     more    justice   to   simple    and

Cowper。 ̄ 

    ^Nay�察�mama�察�if   he   is   not   to   be   animated   by   Cowper� �but   we 

must allow for difference of taste。 Elinor has not my feelings�察�and 

therefore   she   may   overlook         it�察 �and  be   happy     with   him。    But   it 

would have broke my heart�察�had I loved him�察�to hear him read with 

so little sensibility。 Mama�察�the more I know of the world�察�the more 

am   I   convinced   that   I   shall   never   see   a   man   whom   I   can   really 

love。   I   require   so  much�  �He must  have   all   Edward¨s   virtues�察  �and

                               CHAPTER IV 



                      hat    a  pity  it  is�察 �Elinor�察院  �said   Marianne�察     �that 

                      Edward should have no taste for drawing。 ̄ 

 ^W ^No   taste   for   drawing� 院  �replied   Elinor�察   �why 



should you think so�拭�He does not draw himself�察�indeed�察�but he has 

great  pleasure   in seeing  the  performances   of  other  people�察 �and   I 

assure you he is by no means deficient in natural taste�察�though he 

has not had opportunities of improving it。 Had he ever been in the 

way     of  learning�察   �I  think   he  would     have    drawn    very   well。   He 

distrusts   his   own   judgment   in   such   matters   so   much�察  �that   he   is 

always unwilling to give his opinion on any picture�察�but he has an 

innate   propriety   and   simplicity   of   taste�察  �which   in   general   direct 

him perfectly right。 ̄ 

    Marianne   was       afraid   of   offending�察  �and   said   no   more   on   the 

subject�察  �but   the   kind   of   approbation   which   Elinor   described   as 

excited in him by the drawings of other people�察�was very far from 

that rapturous delight�察�which�察�in her opinion�察�could alone be called 

taste。    Yet�察  �though    smiling    within    herself    at  the   mistake�察   �she 

honoured       her   sister  for  that   blind   partiality   to  Edward      which 

produced it。 

    ^I hope�察�Marianne�察院�continued Elinor�察 �you do not consider him 

as   deficient   in   general   taste。   Indeed�察  �I   think   I   may   say   that   you 

cannot�察�for your behaviour to him   is perfectly  cordial�察 �and   if that 

were your opinion�察�I am sure you could never be civil to him。 ̄ 

    Marianne hardly knew what to  say。   She   would   not  wound   the 

feelings of her sister on any account�察�and yet to say what she did

    ^Do not be offended�察�Elinor�察�if my praise of him is not in every 

thing   equal   to   your   sense   of   his   merits。   I   have   not   had   so   many
