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

visit is but just begun� 院�
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。

CHAPTER XI
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
that could be done was�察 �to
