    ^Dear�察�dear Elinor�察�don¨t mind them。 Don¨t let them make you 

unhappy。 ̄ 

    She   could   say  no   more�察  �her   spirits   were   quite   overcome�察  �and 

hiding   her   face   on   Elinor¨s   shoulder�察  �she   burst   into   tears。   Every 

body¨s      attention     was    called�察   �and    almost     every    body     was 

concerned。!Colonel Brandon rose   up   and  went  to  them   without 

knowing what he did。!Mrs。 Jennings�察�with a very intelligent ^Ah� �

poor   dear�察院  �immediately   gave   her   her   salts�察  �and   Sir   John   felt   so 

desperately   enraged   against   the   author   of   this   nervous   distress�察�

that he instantly changed his seat to one close by Lucy Steele�察�and 

gave her�察�in a whisper�察�a brief account of the whole shocking affair。 

    In a few minutes�察�however�察�Marianne was recovered enough to 

put an end to the bustle�察�and sit down among the rest�察�though her 

spirits   retained    the   impression     of  what    had   passed�察   �the  whole 

evening。 

    ^Poor Marianne� 院�said her brother to Colonel Brandon�察�in a low 

voice�察�as soon as he could secure his attention�察�^She has not such 

good     health   as   her  sister�察�she      is  very  nervous�察�she        has   not 

Elinor¨s constitution�察�and one must allow that there is something 

very trying to a young woman who has been a beauty�察�in the loss of 

her    personal    attractions。    You    would    not   think   it  perhaps�察   �but 

Marianne was   remarkably  handsome a   few  months   ago�察  �quite   as 

handsome as Elinor。! Now you see it is all gone。 ̄

                             CHAPTER XIII 



           linor¨s   curiosity   to   see   Mrs。   Ferrars   was   satisfied。!She 

           had   found   in   her  every  thing  that   could   tend   to   make   a 

E 

           farther   connection       between     the   families   undesirable。! 

She     had    seen   enough      of  her   pride�察  �her    meanness�察     �and    her 

determined        prejudice     against    herself�察  �to   comprehend        all  the 

difficulties     that   must     have    perplexed      the   engagement�察       �and 

retarded      the   marriage�察    �of  Edward      and    herself�察  �had    he   been 

otherwise   free�察�and she  had seen  almost  enough   to   be   thankful 

for   her  own   sake�察  �that   one   greater   obstacle   preserved   her   from 

suffering under any other of Mrs。 Ferrars¨s creation�察�preserved her 

from   all   dependence   upon   her   caprice�察  �or   any   solicitude   for   her 

good   opinion。   Or   at   least�察  �if   she  did   not   bring   herself  quite  to 

rejoice   in   Edward¨s   being   fettered   to   Lucy�察  �she   determined�察  �that 

had Lucy been more amiable�察�she ought to have rejoiced。 

    She    wondered       that   Lucy¨s    spirits   could    be   so  very    much 

elevated by the civility of Mrs。 Ferrars�察�that her interest and her 

vanity   should   so   very   much   blind   her   as   to   make   the   attention 

which seemed only paid her because she was not Elinor�察�appear a 

compliment   to   herself!or   to   allow   her   to   derive   encouragement 

from a preference   only  given   her�察  �because  her  real   situation   was 

unknown。 But that it was so�察�had not only been declared by Lucy¨s 

eyes   at   the   time�察  �but   was   declared   over   again   the   next   morning 

more openly�察�for at her particular desire�察�Lady Middleton set her 

down   in   Berkeley´street  on   the  chance   of seeing  Elinor  alone�察  �to 

tell her how happy she was。

    The    chance     proved     a  lucky   one�察  �for   a  message     from    Mrs。 

Palmer soon after she arrived�察�carried Mrs。 Jennings away。 

    ^My     dear    friend�察院   �cried   Lucy�察   �as   soon    as   they    were    by 

themselves�察       �I  come     to  talk   to  you    of  my    happiness。     Could 

anything   be     so   flattering   as  Mrs。   Ferrars¨s    way   of  treating    me 

yesterday�拭  �So   exceeding   affable   as   she   was� �You   know   how   I 

dreaded the thoughts of seeing her�察�but the very moment  I   was 

introduced�察�there was such an affability in her behaviour as really 

should seem to say�察�she had quite took a fancy to me。 Now was not 

it so�拭�You saw it all�察�and was not you quite struck with it�拭院�

    ^She was certainly very civil to you。 ̄ 

    ^Civil� �Did   you   see   nothing   but   only   civility�拭�I   saw   a   vast 

deal more。 Such kindness as fell to the share of nobody but me� � 

No pride�察�no hauteur�察�and your sister just the same!all sweetness 

and affability� 院�

    Elinor wished to talk of  something  else�察�but  Lucy  still pressed 

her to own that she had reason for her happiness�察�and Elinor was 

obliged to go on。! 

    ^Undoubtedly�察�if they had known your engagement�察院�said she�察�

^nothing  could be   more   flattering   than   their   treatment   of   you�察� 

but as that was not the case ̄! 

    ^I   guessed     you   would     say   so ̄!replied      Lucy    quickly!^but 

there was no reason in the world why Mrs。 Ferrars should seem to 

like me�察�if she did not�察�and her liking me is every thing。 You shan¨t 

talk me   out  of  my  satisfaction。   I am  sure   it  will   all  end   well�察  �and 

there   will   be   no   difficulties   at   all�察  �to   what   I   used   to   think。   Mrs。 

Ferrars is a charming woman�察�and so is your sister。 They are both 

delightful women�察�indeed� �I wonder I should never hear you say 

how agreeable Mrs。 Dashwood was� 院�

    To this Elinor had no answer to make�察�and did not attempt any。 

    ^Are     you   ill�察 �Miss   Dashwood�拭�you            seem    low!you       don¨t 

speak�察�sure you an¨t well。 ̄ 

    ^I never was in better health。 ̄ 

    ^I am glad of it with all my heart�察�but really you did not look it。 I 

should be   sorry   to   have you   ill�察  �you�察  �that   have   been   the   greatest 

comfort  to  me   in   the   world� �Heaven   knows   what   I   should   have 

done without your friendship。 ̄! 

    Elinor  tried   to  make   a civil  answer�察  �though   doubting   her   own 

success。 But it seemed to satisfy Lucy�察�for she directly replied�察�

    ^Indeed   I   am   perfectly   convinced   of   your   regard   for   me�察  �and 

next   to   Edward¨s   love�察  �it   is  the  greatest   comfort   I   have。!Poor 

Edward� �But   now   there   is   one   good   thing�察  �we   shall   be   able   to 

meet�察�and meet pretty often�察�for Lady Middleton¨s delighted with 

Mrs。 Dashwood�察�so we shall be a good deal in Harley´street�察�I dare 

say�察  �and   Edward   spends       half   his  time   with   his  sister!besides�察�

Lady     Middleton       and   Mrs。    Ferrars     will  visit  now�察�and        Mrs。 

Ferrars and your sister were both so good to say more than once�察�

they  should   always  be   glad  to  see   me。!They   are   such   charming 

women� �I am sure if ever you tell your sister what I think of her�察�

you cannot speak too high。 ̄ 

    But Elinor would not give her any encouragement to hope that 

she should tell her sister。 Lucy continued。 

    ^I am sure I   should   have   seen   it in a   moment�察�if  Mrs。   Ferrars 

had took a dislike to me。 If she had only made me a formal curtsey�察�

for instance�察�without saying a word�察�and never after had took any 

notice of me�察�and never looked at me in a
