a clever man�察�a reading man!and I confess�察�that I do consider his
attaching himself to her with some surprise。 Had it been the effect
of gratitude�察�had he learnt to love her�察�because he believed her to
be preferring him�察�it would have been another thing。 But I have no
reason to suppose it so。 It seems�察�on the contrary�察�to have been a
perfectly spontaneous�察 �untaught feeling on his side�察 �and this
surprises me。 A man like him�察 �in his situation� �with a heart
pierced�察 �wounded�察 �almost broken� �Fanny Harville was a very
superior creature�察 �and his attachment to her was indeed
attachment。 A man does not recover from such a devotion of the
heart to such a woman� �He ought not!he does not。 ̄
Either from the consciousness�察 �however�察 �that his friend had
recovered�察 �or from other consciousness�察 �he went no farther�察 �and
Anne who�察 �in spite of the agitated voice in which the latter part
had been uttered�察�and in spite of all the various noises of the room�察�
the almost ceaseless slam of the door�察 �and ceaseless buzz of
persons walking through�察 �had distinguished every word�察 �was
struck�察 �gratified�察 �confused�察 �and beginning to breathe very quick�察�
and feel an hundred things in a moment。 It was impossible for her
to enter on such a subject�察 �and yet�察 �after a pause�察 �feeling the
necessity of speaking�察�and having not the smallest wish for a total
change�察�she only deviated so far as to say!
^You were a good while at Lyme�察�I think�拭院�
^About a fortnight。 I could not leave it till Louisa¨s doing well
was quite ascertained。 I had been too deeply concerned in the

mischief to be soon at peace。 It had been my doing!solely mine。
She would not have been obstinate if I had not been weak。 The
country round Lyme is very fine。 I walked and rode a great deal�察�
and the more I saw�察�the more I found to admire。 ̄
^I should very much like to see Lyme again�察院�said Anne。
^Indeed� �I should not have supposed that you could have found
anything in Lyme to inspire such a feeling。 The horror and
distress you were involved in!the stretch of mind�察 �the wear of
spirits� �I should have thought your last impressions of Lyme
must have been strong disgust。 ̄
^The last hours were certainly very painful�察院�replied Anne�此 �but
when pain is over�察 �the remembrance of it often becomes a
pleasure。 One does not love a place the less for having suffered in
it�察 �unless it has been all suffering�察 �nothing but suffering!which
was by no means the case at Lyme。 We were only in anxiety and
distress during the last two hours�察�and previously there had been a
great deal of enjoyment。 So much novelty and beauty� �I have
travelled so little�察 �that every fresh place would be interesting to
me!but there is real beauty at Lyme�察�and in short ̄ ��with a faint
blush at some recollections���察 �altogether my impressions of the
place are very agreeable。 ̄
As she ceased�察 �the entrance door opened again�察 �and the very
party appeared for whom they were waiting。 ^Lady Dalrymple�察�
Lady Dalrymple�察院 �was the rejoicing sound�察 �and with all the
eagerness compatible with anxious elegance�察 �Sir Walter and his
two ladies stepped forward to meet her。 Lady Dalrymple and Miss
Carteret�察 �escorted by Mr。 Elliot and Colonel Wallis�察 �who had
happened to arrive nearly at the same instant�察�advanced into the
room。 The others joined them�察�and it was a group in which Anne

found herself also necessarily included。 She was divided from
Captain Wentworth。 Their interesting�察 �almost too interesting
conversation must be broken up for a time�察 �but slight was the
penance compared with the happiness which brought it on� �She
had learnt�察 �in the last ten minutes�察 �more of his feelings towards
Louisa�察�more of all his feelings than she dared to think of� �and she
gave herself up to the demands of the party�察 �to the needful
civilities of the moment�察 �with exquisite�察 �though agitated
sensations。 She was in good humour with all。 She had received
ideas which disposed her to be courteous and kind to all�察 �and to
pity every one�察�as being less happy than herself。
The delightful emotions were a little subdued�察 �when on
stepping back from the group�察 �to be joined again by Captain
Wentworth�察�she saw that he was gone。 She was just in time to see
him turn into the Concert Room。 He was gone!he had
disappeared�察 �she felt a moment¨s regret。 But ^they should meet
again。 He would look for her!he would find her out before the
evening were over!and at present�察�perhaps�察�it was as well to be
asunder。 She was in need of a little interval for recollection。 ̄
Upon Lady Russell¨s appearance soon afterwards�察 �the whole
party was collected�察 �and all that remained was to marshal
themselves�察�and proceed into the Concert Room�察�and be of all the
consequence in their power�察 �draw as many eyes�察 �excite as many
whispers�察�and disturb as many people as they could。
Very�察�very happy were both Elizabeth and Anne Elliot as they
walked in。 Elizabeth arm in arm with Miss Carteret�察 �and looking
on the broad back of the dowager Viscountess Dalrymple before
her�察�had nothing to wish for which did not seem within her reach�察�
and Anne!but it would be an insult to the nature of Anne¨s

felicity�察 �to draw any comparison between it and her sister¨s�察 �the
origin of one all selfish vanity�察 �of the other all generous
attachment。
Anne saw nothing�察 �thought nothing of the brilliancy of the
room。 Her happiness was from within。 Her eyes were bright and
her cheeks glowed�察�but she knew nothing about it。 She was
thinking only of the last half hour�察 �and as they passed to their
seats�察�her mind took a hasty range over it。 His choice of subjects�察�
his expressions�察 �and still more his manner and look�察 �had been
such as she could see in only one light。 His opinion of Louisa
Musgrove¨s inferiority�察�an opinion which he had seemed solicitous
to give�察�his wonder at Captain Benwick�察 �his feelings as to a first�察�
strong attachment�察�sentences begun which he could not finish!
his half averted eyes and more than half expressive glance�察�all�察�
all declared that he had a heart returning to her at least�察 �that
anger�察�resentment�察�avoidance�察 �were no more�察�and that they were
succeeded�察 �not merely by friendship and regard�察 �but by the
tenderness of the past。 Yes�察 �some share of the tenderness of the
past。 She could not contemplate the change as implying less。!He
must love her。
These were thoughts�察 �with their attendant visions�察 �which
occupied and flurried her too much to leave her any power of
observation�察 �and she passed along the room without having a
glimpse of him�察 �without even trying to discern him。 When their
places were determined on�察�and they were all properly arranged�察�
she looked round to see if he should happen to be in the same part
of the room�察�but he was not�察�her eye could not reach him�察�and the
concert being just opening�察 �she must consent for a time to be
happy in a humbler way。

The party was divided and disposed of on two contiguous
benches�此�Anne was among those on the foremost�察 �and Mr。 Elliot
had manoeuvred so well�察�with the assistance of his friend Colonel
Wallis�察 �as to have a seat by her。 Miss Elliot�察 �surrounded by her
cousins�察�and the principal object of Colonel Wallis¨s gallantry�察�was
quite contented。
Anne¨s mind was in a most favourable state for the
entertainment of the evening�察�it was just occupation enough�此 �she
had feelings for the tender�察 �spirits for the gay�察 �attention for the
scientific�察�and patience for the wearisome�察�and had never liked a
concert better�察�at least during the first act。 Towards the close of it�察�
in the interval succeeding an Italian song�察�she explained the words
of the song to Mr。 Elliot。!They had a concert bill between them。
^This�察院�said she�察 �is nearly the sense�察�or rather the meaning of
the words�察�for certainly the sense of an Italian love´song must not
be talked of�察�but it is as nearly the meaning as I can give�察�for I do
not pretend to understand the language。 I am a very poor Italian
scholar。 ̄
^Yes�察�yes�察�I see you are。 I see you know nothing of the matter。
You have only knowledge enough of the language to translate at
sight these inverted�察�transposed�察�curtailed Italian lines�察�into clear�察�
comprehensible�察�elegant English。 You need not say anything more
of your ignorance。!Here is complete proof。 ̄
^I will not oppose such kind politeness�察�but I should be sorry to
be examined by a real proficient。 ̄
^I
