seeing   people      whom   she   had   never   seen      before�察   �and   of  whom 

therefore she must have a great deal to say�察�her mind was so much 

more occupied by the important secret in her possession�察�than by 

anything      else�察 �that   she   reverted     to  it  again   as  soon   as   Elinor 

appeared。 

    ^Well�察�my dear�察院�she cried�察 �I sent you up the young man。 Did 

not  I   do  right�拭�And   I   suppose   you  had  no  great   difficulty!You 

did not find him very unwilling to accept your proposal�拭院�

    ^No�察�ma¨am�察�that was not very likely。 ̄ 

    ^Well�察  �and   how   soon   will   he   be    ready�拭�For   it   seems       all  to 

depend upon that。 ̄ 

    ^Really�察院  �said   Elinor�察   �I   know   so   little   of   these   kind   of   forms�察�

that I can hardly even conjecture as to the time�察�or the preparation 

necessary�察  �but   I   suppose   two   or   three   months   will   complete   his 

ordination。 ̄ 

    ^Two or  three   months� 院  �cried   Mrs。   Jennings�察   �Lord�  �my  dear�察�

how  calmly  you  talk   of it�察  �and   can  the   Colonel   wait   two   or   three 

months�  �Lord   bless me� �I am sure   it  would   put me   quite   out   of 

patience� �And though one would be very glad to do a kindness by 

poor  Mr。   Ferrars�察  �I   do  think   it   is   not   worth   while   to   wait   two   or 

three   months   for   him。   Sure   somebody   else   might   be   found   that 

would do as well�察�somebody that is in orders already。 ̄ 

    ^My dear ma¨am�察院�said Elinor�察 �what can you be thinking of�拭� 

Why�察�Colonel Brandon¨s only object is to be of use to Mr。 Ferrars。 ̄ 

    ^Lord bless you�察�my dear� �Sure you do not mean to persuade 

me   that   the   Colonel   only   marries   you   for   the   sake   of   giving   ten 

guineas to Mr。 Ferrars� 院�

    The deception could not continue after this�察�and an explanation 

immediately        took    place�察   �by   which     both    gained    considerable

amusement          for   the   moment�察      �without      any    material     loss   of 

happiness to either�察�for Mrs。 Jennings only exchanged one form of 

delight for another�察�and still without forfeiting her expectation of 

the first。 

    ^Aye�察�aye�察�the parsonage is but a small one�察院�said she�察�after the 

first   ebullition   of   surprise   and   satisfaction   was      over�察  �and    very 

likely may   be   out   of   repair�察  �but   to   hear   a   man   apologising�察  �as   I 

thought�察�for a house that to my knowledge has five   sitting  rooms 

on   the   ground´floor�察  �and   I   think   the   housekeeper   told   me   could 

make up fifteen beds� �and to you too�察�that had been used to live 

in   Barton   cottage� �It   seems   quite   ridiculous。   But�察  �my   dear�察  �we 

must touch up the Colonel to do some thing to the parsonage�察�and 

make it comfortable for them�察�before Lucy goes to it。 ̄ 

    ^But   Colonel   Brandon   does   not   seem   to   have   any   idea   of   the 

living¨s being enough to allow them to marry。 ̄ 

    ^The Colonel is a ninny�察�my dear�察�because he has two thousand 

a´year himself�察�he thinks that nobody else can marry on less。 Take 

my   word   for   it�察  �that�察  �if   I  am   alive�察 �I  shall   be  paying   a  visit   at 

Delaford Parsonage before Michaelmas�察�and I am sure I sha¨nt go 

if Lucy an¨t there。 ̄ 

    Elinor was quite of her opinion�察�as to the probability of their not 

waiting for any thing more。

           dward�察     �having   carried    his   thanks    to  Colonel    Brandon�察�

           proceeded with his happiness to Lucy�察�and such was the 

E 

           excess   of  it by   the   time   he   reached   Bartlett¨s   Buildings�察�

that she was able to assure Mrs。 Jennings�察�who called on her again 

the   next   day   with   her   congratulations�察  �that   she   had   never   seen 

him in such spirits before in her life。 

    Her   own   happiness�察      �and   her   own   spirits�察  �were   at   least   very 

certain�察    �and    she   joined    Mrs。   Jennings      most    heartily    in   her 

expectation      of   their   being   all  comfortably     together    in  Delaford 

Parsonage   before   Michaelmas。  So  far  was   she�察�at   the   same   time�察�

from   any backwardness  to  give   Elinor   that   credit   which   Edward 

would give her�察�that she spoke of her friendship for them both with 

the most grateful warmth�察�was ready to own all their obligation to 

her�察�and openly declared   that  no  exertion   for  their  good   on   Miss 

Dashwood¨s   part�察  �either   present   or   future�察      �would     ever   surprise 

her�察�for she believed her capable of doing any thing in the   world 

for those   she   really  valued。 As   for  Colonel   Brandon�察�she   was not 

only   ready   to   worship     him    as  a   saint�察  �but  was  moreover      truly 

anxious that he should be treated as one in all worldly  concerns�察�

anxious that his tithes should be raised to the utmost�察�and scarcely 

resolved to avail herself�察�at Delaford�察�as far as she possibly could�察�

of his servants�察�his carriage�察�his cows�察�and his poultry。 

    It  was   now   above   a   week   since   John   Dashwood   had   called   in 

Berkeley´street�察�and as since   that  time no notice   had   been   taken 

by   them   of   his   wife¨s   indisposition�察  �beyond     one   verbal    inquiry�察�

Elinor began to feel it necessary to pay  her  a   visit。!This   was   an 

obligation�察�however�察�which not only opposed her own inclination�察�

but which had not the assistance of any encouragement from her 

companions。 Marianne�察�not contented with absolutely refusing  to 

go herself�察�was very urgent to prevent her sister¨s going at all�察�and 

Mrs。 Jennings�察�though her carriage was always at Elinor¨s service�察�

so   very   much   disliked   Mrs。   John   Dashwood�察  �that   not   even   her 

curiosity   to   see   how   she   looked   after   the   late   discovery�察  �nor   her 

strong     desire    to  affront    her   by   taking    Edward¨s      part�察  �could 

overcome       her   unwillingness      to  be   in  her  company       again。   The 

consequence was�察�that Elinor set out by herself to pay a visit�察�for 

which no one could really have less inclination�察�and to run the risk 

of a t┷te´┐´t┷te with a woman�察�whom neither of the others had so 

much reason to dislike。 

    Mrs。 Dashwood was denied�察�but before the carriage could turn 

from the house�察�her husband accidentally came out。 He expressed 

great   pleasure   in   meeting   Elinor�察  �told   her   that   he   had   been   just 

going     to  call  in  Berkeley´street�察     �and�察  �assuring    her   that   Fanny 

would be very glad to see her�察�invited her to come in。 

    They   walked   up   stairs   into   the    drawing´room。!Nobody   was 

there。
