mulberry´tree�察�the canal�察�and the yew arbour�察�would all be   made 

over to her�察�and Mrs。 Jennings had�察�for some time ceased to think 

at all of Mr。 Ferrars。 

    Early     in  February�察     �within     a  fortnight     from    the   receipt    of 

Willoughby¨s letter�察�Elinor had the painful office of informing her 

sister    that   he   was    married。     She    had    taken    care   to   have    the 

intelligence conveyed to herself�察�as soon as it was known that the 

ceremony was over�察�as she was desirous that Marianne should not 

receive the first notice of it from the public papers�察�which she saw 

her eagerly examining every morning。 

    She     received     the   news    with    resolute    composure�察       �made     no 

observation on it�察�and at first shed no tears�察�but after a short time 

they would burst out�察�and for the rest of the day�察�she was in a state

hardly less pitiable than when she first learnt to expect the event。 

    The   Willoughbys   left  town   as   soon   as   they   were   married�察  �and 

Elinor now hoped�察�as there could be no danger of her seeing either 

of them�察�to prevail on her sister�察�who had never yet left the house 

since the blow first fell�察�to go out again by degrees as she had done 

before。 

    About   this   time   the   two   Miss   Steeles�察   �lately   arrived   at   their 

cousin¨s      house     in   Bartlett¨s     Buildings�察     �Holburn�察     �presented 

themselves again before their more grand relations in Conduit and 

Berkeley´street�察       �and   were     welcomed       by   them    all   with   great 

cordiality。 

    Elinor only was sorry to see them。 Their presence always gave 

her pain�察�and she hardly knew how to make a very gracious return 

to the overpowering delight of Lucy in finding her still in town。 

    ^I should have been quite disappointed if I had not found   you 

here  still�察院  �said   she   repeatedly�察    �with   a  strong   emphasis      on   the 

word。 ^But I always thought I should。 I was almost sure you would 

not   leave   London   yet   awhile�察  �though   you  told   me�察  �you   know�察  �at 

Barton�察�that you should not stay above a month。 But I thought�察�at 

the   time�察  �that   you   would   most   likely   change   your   mind   when   it 

came   to   the   point。   It   would   have   been   such  a   great   pity   to   have 

went   away   before   your   brother   and   sister   came。   And   now   to   be 

sure you will be in no hurry to be gone。 I am amazingly glad you 

did not keep to your word。 ̄ 

    Elinor perfectly understood   her�察  �and   was   forced   to  use all   her 

self´command to make it appear that she did not。 

    ^Well�察�my dear�察院�said Mrs。 Jennings�察 �and how did you travel�拭院�

    ^Not in the stage�察�I assure you�察院�replied Miss Steele�察�with quick 

exultation�察 �we came post all the way�察�and had a very smart beau

to  attend   us。   Dr。   Davies   was   coming  to  town�察  �and   so   we   thought 

we¨d join him in a post´chaise�察�and he behaved very genteelly�察�and 

paid ten or twelve shillings more than we did。 ̄ 

    ^Oh�察  �oh� 院  �cried   Mrs。   Jennings�察   �very   pretty�察  �indeed�   �and   the 

Doctor is a single man�察�I warrant you。 ̄ 

    ^There       now�察院    �said     Miss     Steele�察    �affectedly     simpering�察�

^everybody laughs at me so about the Doctor�察�and I cannot think 

why。 My cousins say they are sure I have made a conquest�察�but for 

my part I declare I never think about him from one hour¨s end to 

another。   `Lord�   �here   comes       your   beau�察   �Nancy�察�    my   cousin   said 

t¨other day�察�when she saw him crossing the street to the house。 My 

beau�察�indeed� �said I!I cannot think who you mean。 The Doctor is 

no beau of mine。 ̄ 

    ^Aye�察   �aye�察  �that  is  very   pretty   talking!but       it  won¨t   do!the 

Doctor is the man�察�I see。 ̄ 

    ^No�察   �indeed� 院   �replied    her   cousin�察  �with    affected   earnestness�察�

^and I beg you will contradict it�察�if you ever hear it talked of。 ̄ 

    Mrs。   Jennings   directly   gave   her   the   gratifying   assurance   that 

she   certainly   would  not�察  �and   Miss   Steele   was   made        completely 

happy。 

    ^I   suppose   you   will   go  and   stay   with   your   brother   and   sister�察�

Miss Dashwood�察�when they  come   to  town�察院  �said  Lucy�察  �returning�察�

after a cessation of hostile hints�察�to the charge。 

    ^No�察�I do not think we shall。 ̄ 

    ^Oh�察�yes�察�I dare say you will。 ̄ 

    Elinor would not humour her by farther opposition。 

    ^What a charming thing it is that Mrs。 Dashwood can spare you 

both for so long a time together� 院�

    ^Long  a   time�察  �indeed� 院  �interposed   Mrs。   Jennings。   ^Why�察  �their

    Lucy was silenced。 

    ^I   am   sorry   we   cannot   see   your   sister�察  �Miss   Dashwood�察院  �said 

Miss Steele。 ^I am sorry she is not well�察院�for Marianne had left the 

room on their arrival。 

    ^You are very good。 My sister will be equally sorry to miss the 

pleasure of seeing you�察�but she has been very much plagued lately 

with   nervous   head´aches�察  �which   make   her   unfit   for   company   or 

conversation。 ̄ 

    ^Oh�察�dear�察�that is a great pity� �but such old friends as Lucy and 

me� �I think she might see us�察�and I am sure we would not speak a 

word。 ̄ 

    Elinor�察�with great civility�察�declined the proposal。 Her sister was 

perhaps   laid   down   upon   the   bed�察  �or   in   her   dressing   gown�察  �and 

therefore not able to come to them。 

    ^Oh�察�if that¨s all�察院�cried Miss Steele�察 �we can just as well go and 

see her。 ̄ 

    Elinor began to find this impertinence too much for her temper�察�

but   she    was   saved    the  trouble    of   checking   it�察  �by   Lucy¨s  sharp 

reprimand�察  �which   now�察  �as   on   many   occasions�察  �though   it   did   not 

give    much     sweetness      to   the   manners      of  one    sister�察  �was    of 

advantage in governing those of the other。

           fter    some    opposition�察    �Marianne      yielded     to  her   sister¨s 

Aentreaties�察  �and   consented   to   go   out   with   her   and                 Mrs。 

           Jennings       one   morning   for   half   an    hour。   She    expressly 

conditioned�察�however�察�for paying no visits�察�and would do no more 

than accompany them   to  Gray¨s   in   Sackville´street�察  �where   Elinor 

was     carrying    on   a  negotiation     for   the  exchange      of  a   few   old´ 

fashioned jewels of her mother。 

    When they stopped at the door�察�Mrs。 Jennings recollected that 

there was a lady at the other end of the street on whom she ought 

to call�察�and as she had no business at Gray¨s�察�it was resolved�察�that 

while her young friends transacted their¨s�察�she should pay her visit 

and return for them。 

    On   ascending   the   stairs�察  �the   Miss   Dashwoods   found   so   many 

people   before   them   in   the   room�察  �that   there   was   not   a   person   at 

liberty to tend to their orders�察�and   they  were   obliged   to  wait。 All
