                             CHAPTER III 



          he Miss Dashwoods had now been rather more than two 

          months   in   town�察  �and   Marianne¨s   impatience   to   be   gone 

T 

          increased every day。 She sighed for the air�察�the liberty�察�the 

quiet of the country�察�and fancied that if any  place   could   give   her 

ease�察  �Barton    must    do  it。  Elinor  was   hardly    less  anxious   than 

herself for their removal�察�and only so much less bent on its being 

effected immediately�察�as that she was conscious of the difficulties 

of   so   long   a   journey�察  �which   Marianne  could   not   be   brought   to 

acknowledge。 She began�察�however�察�seriously to turn her thoughts 

towards     its  accomplishment�察     �and   had   already    mentioned     their 

wishes     to  their  kind   hostess�察  �who    resisted   them   with   all  the 

eloquence   of   her   good´will�察  �when   a   plan   was   suggested�察  �which�察�

though     detaining    them    from    home    yet   a  few   weeks    longer�察�

appeared to Elinor altogether much more eligible than any other。 

The Palmers were to remove to Cleveland about the end of March�察�

for the Easter holidays�察�and Mrs。 Jennings�察�with both her friends�察�

received   a   very  warm   invitation   from   Charlotte   to   go   with   them。 

This   would   not�察  �in   itself�察  �have   been   sufficient   for   the   delicacy   of 

Miss Dashwood�察�but it was inforced with so much real politeness 

by Mr。 Palmer himself�察�as�察�joined to the very great amendment of 

his manners towards them since her sister had been known to be 

unhappy�察�induced her to accept it with pleasure。 

   When she told Marianne what she had done�察�however�察�her first 

reply was not very auspicious。 

   ^Cleveland� 院�she cried�察�with great agitation。 ^No�察�I cannot go

to Cleveland。 ̄! 

    ^You forget�察院�said Elinor gently�察 �that its situation is not 。 。 。 that 

it is not in the neighbourhood of 。 。 。 ̄ 

    ^But it is in Somersetshire。!I cannot go into Somersetshire。! 

There�察�where I looked forward to going 。 。 。 No�察�Elinor�察�you cannot 

expect me to go there。 ̄ 

    Elinor would not argue upon the propriety of overcoming such 

feelings�察�she   only   endeavoured   to   counteract   them   by   working 

on   others�察�represented   it�察  �therefore�察  �as   a   measure   which   would 

fix   the   time   of   her   returning   to   that   dear   mother�察  �whom   she   so 

much wished to see�察�in a more eligible�察�more comfortable manner�察�

than   any   other   plan   could   do�察  �and   perhaps   without   any   greater 

delay。   From   Cleveland�察  �which   was   within   a   few   miles   of   Bristol�察�

the   distance   to   Barton   was   not   beyond   one   day�察  �though   a   long 

day¨s journey�察�and their mother¨s servant might easily come there 

to  attend   them   down�察 �and as   there   could   be  no  occasion   of  their 

staying above a week at Cleveland�察�they might now be at home in 

little more than three weeks¨ time。 As Marianne¨s affection for her 

mother was sincere�察�it must triumph with little difficulty�察�over the 

imaginary evils she had started。 

    Mrs。 Jennings was so far from being weary  of  her  guests�察  �that 

she   pressed   them   very   earnestly   to   return   with   her   again   from 

Cleveland。   Elinor   was   grateful   for   the   attention�察  �but   it   could   not 

alter   her   design�察   �and   their   mother¨s     concurrence   being        readily 

gained�察�every thing relative to their return was arranged as far as 

it   could   be�察�and   Marianne   found   some   relief   in   drawing   up           a 

statement of the hours that were yet to divide her from Barton。 

    ^Ah� �Colonel�察�I do not know what you and I shall do without the 

Miss Dashwoods�察院�was Mrs。 Jennings¨s address to him when he

first   called   on   her�察  �after   their   leaving   her   was   settled!^for   they 

are quite resolved upon going home from the Palmers�察�and how 

forlorn   we   shall   be�察  �when   I   come   back� �Lord�   �we   shall   sit   and 

gape at one another as dull as two cats。 ̄ 

    Perhaps Mrs。 Jennings was in hopes�察�by this vigorous sketch of 

their future ennui�察�to provoke him to make that offer�察�which might 

give himself an escape from it�察�and if so�察�she had soon afterwards 

good reason to think her object gained�察�for�察�on Elinor¨s moving to 

the window to take more expeditiously the dimensions of a print�察�

which she was going to copy  for  her  friend�察  �he   followed   her  to  it 

with  a   look   of  particular   meaning�察  �and   conversed   with   her   there 

for   several   minutes。   The   effect   of   his   discourse   on   the   lady   too�察�

could      not   escape     her    observation�察     �for   though      she   was     too 

honourable to listen�察�and had even changed her seat�察�on purpose 

that she   might not   hear�察  �to  one  close  by  the  pianofort└  on   which 

Marianne was playing�察�she could not keep herself from seeing that 

Elinor changed colour�察�attended with agitation�察�and was too intent 

on    what    he   said   to   pursue     her   employment。!Still          farther    in 

confirmation   of   her   hopes�察  �in   the   interval   of   Marianne¨s   turning 

from one lesson to another�察�some words of the Colonel¨s inevitably 

reached   her   ear�察  �in   which   he   seemed   to   be   apologizing   for   the 

badness   of   his   house。   This   set   the   matter   beyond   a   doubt。   She
