101:003,00[U  ]| <SENSE AND SENSIBILITY.>
101:003,01['  ]| The family of $SS#ZI$Dashwood had been long settled in$4$ Sussex. 
101:003,02['  ]| Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland*Park, 
101:003,03['  ]| in$4$ the centre$0$ of their property, where, for$4$ many 
101:003,04['  ]| generations, they had lived in$4$ so$5#1$ respectable a manner, 
101:003,05['  ]| as to$9$ engage the general$2$ good opinion of their surrounding 
101:003,06['  ]| acquaintance.  The late owner of this estate was a single 
101:003,07['  ]| man, who$6#1$ lived to$4$ a very advanced age, and who$6#1$ for$4$ many 
101:003,08['  ]| years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper 
101:003,09['  ]| in$4$ his sister.  But her death, which$6#1$ happened ten 
101:003,10['  ]| years before$4$ his own$2$, produced a great alteration in$4$ his 
101:003,11['  ]| home; for$3$ to$9$ supply$1$ her loss, he invited and received 
101:003,12['  ]| into his house the family of his nephew $SS#ZI$Mr%*Henry*Dashwood, 
101:003,13['  ]| the legal inheritor of the Norland estate, and the 
101:003,14['  ]| person to$4$ whom$6#1$ he intended to$9$ bequeath it.  In$4$ the 
101:003,15['  ]| society of his nephew and niece, and their children, the 
101:003,16['  ]| old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent.  His 
101:003,17['  ]| attachment to$4$ them all increased.  The constant attention 
101:003,18['  ]| of $SS#ZI$Mr% and $SS#D$Mrs%*Henry*Dashwood to$4$ his wishes$0$, which$6#1$ 
101:003,19['  ]| proceeded not merely from interest$0$, but from goodness 
101:003,20['  ]| of heart, gave him every degree of solid comfort$0$ which$6#1$ his 
101:003,21['  ]| age could receive; and the cheerfulness of the children 
101:003,22['  ]| added a relish$0$ to$4$ his existence. 
101:003,23['  ]| By$4$ a former marriage, $SS#ZI$Mr%*Henry*Dashwood had one 
101:003,24['  ]| son:  by$4$ his present$2$ lady, three daughters.  The son, 
101:003,25['  ]| a steady respectable young man, was amply provided 
101:003,26['  ]| for$5$ by$4$ the fortune of his mother, which$6#1$ had been large, 
101:003,27['  ]| and half of which$6#1$ devolved on$4$ him on$4$ his coming of age. 
101:003,28['  ]| By$4$ his own$2$ marriage, likewise, which$6#1$ happened soon 
101:003,29['  ]| afterwards, he added to$4$ his wealth.  To$4$ him therefore 
101:003,30['  ]| the succession to$4$ the Norland estate was not so$5#1$ really 
101:003,31['  ]| important as to$4$ his sisters; for$3$ their fortune, independent 
101:004,01['  ]| of what might arise to$4$ them from their father's inheriting 
101:004,02['  ]| that$6#2$ property, could be but small.  Their mother had 
101:004,03['  ]| nothing, and their father only seven thousand pounds in$4$ 
101:004,04['  ]| his own$2$ disposal;  for$3$ the remaining moiety of his first 
101:004,05['  ]| wife's fortune was also secured to$4$ her child, and he had 
101:004,06['  ]| only a life interest$0$ in$4$ it. 
101:004,07['  ]| The old Gentleman died; his will$0$ was read, and like$4$ 
101:004,08['  ]| almost every other will$0$, gave as much disappointment as 
101:004,09['  ]| pleasure.  He was neither so$5#1$ unjust, nor so$5#1$ ungrateful, 
101:004,10['  ]| as to$9$ leave$1$ his estate from his nephew; ~~ but he left it 
101:004,11['  ]| to$4$ him on$4$ such terms as destroyed half the value$0$ of the 
101:004,12['  ]| bequest.  $SS#ZI$Mr%*Dashwood had wished for$4$ it more for$4$ the 
101:004,13['  ]| sake of his wife and daughters than for$4$ himself or his son: 
101:004,14['  ]| ~~ but to$4$ his son, and his son's son, a child of four years 
101:004,15['  ]| old, it was secured, in$4$ such a way, as to$9$ leave$1$ to$4$ himself 
101:004,16['  ]| no$2$ power of providing for$4$ those who$6#1$ were most dear$2#1$ to$4$ 
101:004,17['  ]| him, and who$6#1$ most needed a provision, by$4$ any charge$0$ 
101:004,18['  ]| on$4$ the estate, or by$4$ any sale of its valuable woods.  The 
101:004,19['  ]| whole$0$ was tied up$5$ for$4$ the benefit of this child, who$6#1$, in$4$ 
101:004,20['  ]| occasional visits with his father and mother at Norland, 
101:004,21['  ]| had so$5#1$ far gained on$4$ the affections of his uncle, by$4$ such 
101:004,22['  ]| attractions as are by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ unusual in$4$ children of two 
101:004,23['  ]| or three years old; an imperfect articulation, an earnest 
101:004,24['  ]| desire$0$ of having his own$2$ way, many cunning tricks, and 
101:004,25['  ]| a great deal$0$ of noise, as to$9$ outweigh all the value$0$ of all 
101:004,26['  ]| the attention which$6#1$, for$4$ years, he had received from his 
101:004,27['  ]| niece and her daughters.  He meant not to$9$ be unkind 
101:004,28['  ]| however, and, as a mark$0$ of his affection for$4$ the three 
101:004,29['  ]| girls, he left them a thousand pounds a-piece. 
101:004,30['  ]| $SS#ZI$Mr%*Dashwood's disappointment was, at first, severe; 
101:004,31['  ]| but his temper was cheerful and sanguine, and he might 
101:004,32['  ]| reasonably hope$1$ to$9$ live many years, and by$4$ living 
101:004,33['  ]| economically, lay$1#1$ by$5$ a considerable sum from the produce 
101:004,34['  ]| of an estate already large, and capable of almost immediate 
101:004,35['  ]| improvement.  But the fortune, which$6#1$ had been so$5#1$ tardy 
101:004,36['  ]| in$4$ coming, was his only one twelvemonth.  He survived his 
101:004,37['  ]| uncle no$2$ longer; and ten thousand pounds, including the late 
101:004,38['  ]| legacies, was all that$6#1$ remained for$4$ his widow and daughters. 
101:005,01['  ]| His son was sent for$5$, as soon as his danger was known, 
101:005,02['  ]| and to$4$ him $SS#ZI$Mr%*Dashwood recommended, with all the 
101:005,03['  ]| strength and urgency which$6#1$ illness could command$1$, the 
101:005,04['  ]| interest$0$ of his mother-in-law and sisters. 
101:005,05['  ]| $SS#F$Mr%*John*Dashwood had not the strong feelings of 
101:005,06['  ]| the rest$0#1$ of the family; but he was affected by$4$ a recommendation 
101:005,07['  ]| of such a nature at such a time, and he promised 
101:005,08['  ]| to$9$ do every*thing in$4$ his power to$9$ make$1$ them comfortable. 
101:005,09['  ]| His father was rendered easy by$4$ such an assurance, and 
101:005,10['  ]| $SS#F$Mr%*John*Dashwood had then leisure to$9$ consider how much 
101:005,11['  ]| there might prudently be in$4$ his power to$9$ do for$4$ them. 
101:005,12['  ]| He was not an ill-disposed young man, unless to$9$ be 
101:005,13['  ]| rather cold*hearted, and rather selfish, is to$9$ be ill-disposed: 
101:005,14['  ]| but he was, in$4$ general$0$, well$5$ respected; for$3$ he conducted 
101:005,15['  ]| himself with propriety in$4$ the discharge of his ordinary 
101:005,16['  ]| duties.  Had he married a more amiable woman, he might 
101:005,17['  ]| have been made still$5$ more respectable than he was: ~~ 
101:005,18['  ]| he might even$5$ have been made amiable himself; for$3$ he 
101:005,19['  ]| was very young when he married, and very fond of his 
101:005,20['  ]| wife.  But $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood was a strong caricature 
101:005,21['  ]| of himself; ~~ more narrow-minded and selfish. 
101:005,22['  ]| When he gave his promise$0$ to$4$ his father, he meditated 
101:005,23['  ]| within himself to$9$ increase$1$ the fortunes of his sisters by$4$ 
101:005,24['  ]| the present$0#2$ of a thousand pounds a-piece.  He then really 
101:005,25['  ]| thought$1$ himself equal$2$ to$4$ it.  The prospect of four thousand 
101:005,26['  ]| a-year, in$4$ addition to$4$ his present$2$ income, besides the 
101:005,27['  ]| remaining half of his own$2$ mother's fortune, warmed his 
101:005,28['  ]| heart and made him feel capable of generosity. 
101:005,28@f   | ~~ "Yes, 
101:005,29@f   | he would give them three thousand pounds:  it would 
101:005,30@f   | be liberal and handsome!  It would be enough to$9$ make$1$ 
101:005,31@f   | them completely easy.  Three thousand pounds!  he 
101:005,32@f   | could spare$1$ so$5#1$ considerable a sum with little inconvenience." 
101:005,33['  ]| ~~ He thought$1$ of it all day long, and for$4$ many days 
101:005,34['  ]| successively, and he did not repent. 
101:005,35['  ]| No$2$ sooner was his father's funeral over, than $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood, 
101:005,36['  ]| without sending any notice$0$ of her intention 
101:005,37['  ]| to$4$ her mother-in-law, arrived with her child and their 
101:005,38['  ]| attendants.  No*one could dispute her right$0$ to$9$ come; 
101:006,01['  ]| the house was her husband's from the moment of his 
101:006,02['  ]| father's decease; but the indelicacy of her conduct$0$ was 
101:006,03['  ]| so$5#1$ much the greater, and to$4$ a woman in$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's 
101:006,04['  ]| situation, with only common$2$ feelings, must have been 
101:006,05['  ]| highly unpleasing; ~~ but in$4$ \her\ mind$0$ there was a sense 
101:006,06['  ]| of honour$0$ so$5#1$ keen, a generosity so$5#1$ romantic, that$3$ any 
101:006,07['  ]| offence of the kind$0$, by$4$ whomsoever given or received, 
101:006,08['  ]| was to$4$ her a source of immoveable disgust$0$.  $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood 
101:006,09['  ]| had never been a favourite$0$ with any of her 
101:006,10['  ]| husband's family; but she had had no$2$ opportunity, till 
101:006,11['  ]| the present$0#1$, of shewing them with how little attention 
101:006,12['  ]| to$4$ the comfort$0$ of other people she could act$1$ when occasion$0$ 
101:006,13['  ]| required it. 
101:006,14['  ]| So$5#1$ acutely did $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood feel this ungracious 
101:006,15['  ]| behaviour, and so$5#1$ earnestly did she despise her daughter-in-law 
101:006,16['  ]| for$4$ it, that$3$, on$4$ the arrival of the latter, she would 
101:006,17['  ]| have quitted the house for*ever, had not the entreaty of 
101:006,18['  ]| her eldest girl induced her first to$9$ reflect on$4$ the propriety 
101:006,19['  ]| of going, and her own$2$ tender$2$ love$0$ for$4$ all her three children 
101:006,20['  ]| determined her afterwards to$9$ stay$1$, and for$4$ their sakes 
101:006,21['  ]| avoid a breach with their brother. 
101:006,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, this eldest daughter whose$6#1$ advice was so$5#1$ 
101:006,23['  ]| effectual, possessed a strength of understanding, and 
101:006,24['  ]| coolness of judgment, which$6#1$ qualified her, though only 
101:006,25['  ]| nineteen, to$9$ be the counsellor of her mother, and enabled 
101:006,26['  ]| her frequently to$9$ counteract, to$4$ the advantage of them 
101:006,27['  ]| all, that$6#2$ eagerness of mind$0$ in$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood which$6#1$ must 
101:006,28['  ]| generally have led to$4$ imprudence.  She had an excellent 
101:006,29['  ]| heart; ~~ her disposition was affectionate, and her feelings 
101:006,30['  ]| were strong; but she knew how to$9$ govern them:  it was 
101:006,31['  ]| a knowledge which$6#1$ her mother had yet to$9$ learn, and which$6#1$ 
101:006,32['  ]| one of her sisters had resolved never to$9$ be taught. 
101:006,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's abilities were, in$4$ many respects, quite equal$2$ 
101:006,34['  ]| to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's.  She was sensible$2#2$ and clever; but eager in$4$ 
101:006,35['  ]| every*thing; her sorrows, her joys, could have no$2$ 
101:006,36['  ]| moderation.  She was generous, amiable, interesting: 
101:006,37['  ]| she was every*thing but prudent.  The resemblance 
101:006,38['  ]| between her and her mother was strikingly great. 
101:007,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor saw, with concern$0$, the excess of her sister's 
101:007,02['  ]| sensibility; but by$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood it was valued and 
101:007,03['  ]| cherished.  They encouraged each other now in$4$ the 
101:007,04['  ]| violence of their affliction.  The agony of grief which$6#1$ 
101:007,05['  ]| overpowered them at first, was voluntarily renewed, 
101:007,06['  ]| was sought for$5$, was created again and again.  They 
101:007,07['  ]| gave themselves up$5$ wholly to$4$ their sorrow, seeking 
101:007,08['  ]| increase$0$ of wretchedness in$4$ every reflection that$6#1$ could 
101:007,09['  ]| afford it, and resolved against ever admitting consolation 
101:007,10['  ]| in$4$ future.  $SS#A$Elinor, too$5#2$, was deeply afflicted; but 
101:007,11['  ]| still$5$ she could struggle$1$, she could exert herself.  She 
101:007,12['  ]| could consult with her brother, could receive her sister-in-law 
101:007,13['  ]| on$4$ her arrival, and treat$1$ her with proper attention; 
101:007,14['  ]| and could strive to$9$ rouse her mother to$4$ similar exertion, 
101:007,15['  ]| and encourage her to$4$ similar forbearance. 
101:007,16['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret, the other sister, was a good-humoured well-disposed 
101:007,17['  ]| girl; but as she had already imbibed a good 
101:007,18['  ]| deal$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne's romance, without having much of her 
101:007,19['  ]| sense, she did not, at thirteen, bid fair to$9$ equal$1$ her sisters 
101:007,20['  ]| at a more advanced period of life. 
102:008,01['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood now installed herself mistress 
102:008,02['  ]| of Norland; and her mother and sisters-in-law were 
102:008,03['  ]| degraded to$4$ the condition$0$ of visitors.  As such, however, 
102:008,04['  ]| they were treated by$4$ her with quiet$2$ civility; and by$4$ 
102:008,05['  ]| her husband with as much kindness as he could feel 
102:008,06['  ]| towards any*body beyond$4$ himself, his wife, and their 
102:008,07['  ]| child.  He really pressed them, with some earnestness, 
102:008,08['  ]| to$9$ consider Norland as their home; and, as no$2$ plan 
102:008,09['  ]| appeared so$5#1$ eligible to$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood as remaining there 
102:008,10['  ]| till she could accommodate herself with a house in$4$ the 
102:008,11['  ]| neighbourhood, his invitation was accepted. 
102:008,12['  ]| A continuance in$4$ a place$0$ where every*thing reminded her 
102:008,13['  ]| of former delight$0$, was exactly what suited her mind$0$.  In$4$ 
102:008,14['  ]| seasons of cheerfulness, no$2$ temper could be more cheerful 
102:008,15['  ]| than hers, or possess, in$4$ a greater degree, that$6#2$ sanguine 
102:008,16['  ]| expectation of happiness which$6#1$ is happiness itself.  But in$4$ 
102:008,17['  ]| sorrow she must be equally carried away by$4$ her fancy$0$, and 
102:008,18['  ]| as far beyond$4$ consolation as in$4$ pleasure she was beyond$4$ alloy. 
102:008,19['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood did not at all approve of what 
102:008,20['  ]| her husband intended to$9$ do for$4$ his sisters. 
102:008,20@g   | To$9$ take 
102:008,21@g   | three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear$2#1$ 
102:008,22@g   | little boy, would be impoverishing him to$4$ the most 
102:008,23@g   | dreadful degree. 
102:008,23['  ]| She begged him to$9$ 
102:008,23@g   | think again on$4$ the 
102:008,24@g   | subject$0$. How could he answer$1$ it to$4$ himself to$9$ rob his 
102:008,25@g   | child, and his only child too$5#2$, of so$5#1$ large a sum?  And 
102:008,26@g   | what possible claim$0$ could the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods, who$6#1$ 
102:008,27@g   | were related to$4$ him only by$4$ half blood, which$6#1$ she considered 
102:008,28@g   | as no$2$ relationship at all, have on$4$ his generosity 
102:008,29@g   | to$4$ so$5#1$ large an amount.  It was very well$5$ known that$3$ no$2$ 
102:008,30@g   | affection was ever supposed to$9$ exist between the children 
102:008,31@g   | of any man by$4$ different marriages; and why was he to$9$ 
102:008,32@g   | ruin$1$ himself, and their poor little $SS#G1$Harry, by$4$ giving away 
102:008,33@g   | all his money to$4$ his half sisters? 
102:009,01[F  ]| "It was my father's last$2$ request$0$ to$4$ me," 
102:009,01['  ]| replied her 
102:009,02['  ]| husband, 
102:009,02[F  ]| "that$3$ I should assist his widow and daughters." 
102:009,03[G  ]| "He did not know what he was talking of, I dare$1#2$ say; 
102:009,04[G  ]| ten to$4$ one but he was light-headed at the time.  Had he 
102:009,05[G  ]| been in$4$ his right$2#1$ senses, he could not have thought$1$ of 
102:009,06[G  ]| such a thing as begging you to$9$ give away half your fortune 
102:009,07[G  ]| from your own$2$ child." 
102:009,08[F  ]| "He did not stipulate for$4$ any particular sum, my dear$2#1$ 
102:009,09[F  ]| $SS#G$Fanny; he only requested me, in$4$ general$2$ terms, to$9$ assist 
102:009,10[F  ]| them, and make$1$ their situation more comfortable than 
102:009,11[F  ]| it was in$4$ his power to$9$ do.  Perhaps it would have been as 
102:009,12[F  ]| well$5$ if he had left it wholly to$4$ myself.  He could hardly 
102:009,13[F  ]| suppose I should neglect$1$ them.  But as he required the 
102:009,14[F  ]| promise$0$, I could not do less than give it:  at least I thought$1$ 
102:009,15[F  ]| so$5#2$ at the time.  The promise$0$, therefore, was given, and 
102:009,16[F  ]| must be performed.  Something must be done for$4$ them 
102:009,17[F  ]| whenever they leave$1$ Norland and settle in$4$ a new home." 
102:009,18[G  ]| "Well$7$, then, \let\ something be done for$4$ them; but 
102:009,19[G  ]| \that$6#2$\ something need$1$ not be three thousand pounds. 
102:009,20[G  ]| Consider," 
102:009,20['  ]| she added, 
102:009,20[G  ]| "that$3$ when the money is once 
102:009,21[G  ]| parted with, it never can return$1$.  Your sisters will$1$ marry, 
102:009,22[G  ]| and it will$1$ be gone for*ever.  If, indeed, it could ever be 
102:009,23[G  ]| restored to$4$ our little boy ~~" 
102:009,24[F  ]| "Why, to$9$ be sure," 
102:009,24['  ]| said her husband, very gravely, 
102:009,25[F  ]| "that$6#2$ would make$1$ a great difference.  The time may$1$ 
102:009,26[F  ]| come when $SS#G1$Harry will$1$ regret$1$ that$3$ so$5#1$ large a sum was 
102:009,27[F  ]| parted with.  If he should have a numerous family, for$4$ 
102:009,28[F  ]| instance$0$, it would be a very convenient addition." 
102:009,29[G  ]| "To$9$ be sure it would." 
102:009,30[F  ]| "Perhaps, then, it would be better for$4$ all parties if 
102:009,31[F  ]| the sum were diminished one half. ~~ Five hundred pounds 
102:009,32[F  ]| would be a prodigious increase$0$ to$4$ their fortunes!" 
102:009,33[G  ]| "Oh! beyond$4$ any*thing great!  What brother on$4$ 
102:009,34[G  ]| earth would do half so$5#1$ much for$4$ his sisters, even$5$ if \really\ 
102:009,35[G  ]| his sisters!  And as it is ~~ only half blood! ~~ But you 
102:009,36[G  ]| have such a generous spirit!" 
102:009,37[F  ]| "I would not wish$1$ to$9$ do any*thing mean$2$," 
102:009,37['  ]| he replied. 
102:009,38[F  ]| "One had rather, on$4$ such occasions, do too$5#1$ much than too$5#1$ 
102:010,01[F  ]|  little.  No*one, at least, can think I have not done enough 
102:010,02[F  ]| for$4$ them:  even$5$ themselves, they can hardly expect more." 
102:010,03[G  ]| "There is no$2$ knowing what \they\ may$1$ expect," 
102:010,03['  ]| said 
102:010,04['  ]| the lady, 
102:010,04[G  ]| "but we are not to$9$ think of their expectations: 
102:010,05[G  ]| the question$0$ is, what you can afford to$9$ do." 
102:010,06[F  ]| "Certainly ~~ and I think I may$1$ afford to$9$ give them 
102:010,07[F  ]| five hundred pounds a-piece.  As it is, without any addition 
102:010,08[F  ]| of mine$6$, they will$1$ each have above$4$ three thousand 
102:010,09[F  ]| pounds on$4$ their mother's death ~~ a very comfortable 
102:010,10[F  ]| fortune for$4$ any young woman." 
102:010,11[G  ]| "To$9$ be sure it is:  and, indeed, it strikes me that$3$ they 
102:010,12[G  ]| can want$1$ no$2$ addition at all.  They will$1$ have ten thousand 
102:010,13[G  ]| pounds divided amongst them.  If they marry, they will$1$ 
102:010,14[G  ]| be sure of doing well$5$, and if they do not, they may$1$ all 
102:010,15[G  ]| live very comfortably together on$4$ the interest$0$ of ten 
102:010,16[G  ]| thousand pounds." 
102:010,17[F  ]| "That$6#2$ is very true, and, therefore, I do not know 
102:010,18[F  ]| whether, upon$4$ the whole$0$, it would not be more advisable 
102:010,19[F  ]| to$9$ do something for$4$ their mother while$3$ she lives$1$ rather 
102:010,20[F  ]| than for$4$ them ~~ something of the annuity kind$0$ I mean$1$. ~~ 
102:010,21[F  ]| My sisters would feel the good effects of it as well$5$ as herself. 
102:010,22[F  ]| A hundred a year would make$1$ them all perfectly 
102:010,23[F  ]| comfortable." 
102:010,24['  ]| His wife hesitated a little, however, in$4$ giving her 
102:010,25['  ]| consent$0$ to$4$ this plan. 
102:010,26[G  ]| "To$9$ be sure," 
102:010,26['  ]| said she, 
102:010,26[G  ]| "it is better than parting with 
102:010,27[G  ]| fifteen hundred pounds at once.  But then if $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
102:010,28[G  ]| should live fifteen years, we shall be completely 
102:010,29[G  ]| taken in$5$." 
102:010,30[F  ]| "Fifteen years! my dear$2#1$ $SS#G$Fanny; her life cannot be 
102:010,31[F  ]| worth half that$6#2$ purchase$0$." 
102:010,32[G  ]| "Certainly not; but if you observe, people always 
102:010,33[G  ]| live for*ever when there is any annuity to$9$ be paid them; 
102:010,34[G  ]| and she is very stout and healthy, and hardly forty. 
102:010,35[G  ]| An annuity is a very serious$2$ business; it comes over and 
102:010,36[G  ]| over every year, and there is no$2$ getting rid of it.  You are 
102:010,37[G  ]| not aware of what you are doing.  I have known a great 
102:010,38[G  ]| deal$0$ of the trouble$0$ of annuities; for$3$ my mother was 
102:011,01[G  ]| clogged with the payment of three to$4$ old superannuated 
102:011,02[G  ]| servants by$4$ my father's will$0$, and it is amazing how 
102:011,03[G  ]| disagreeable she found it.  Twice every year these 
102:011,04[G  ]| annuities were to$9$ be paid; and then there was the trouble$0$ 
102:011,05[G  ]| of getting it to$4$ them; and then one of them was said to$9$ 
102:011,06[G  ]| have died, and afterwards it turned out$5$ to$9$ be no$2$ such 
102:011,07[G  ]| thing.  My mother was quite sick of it.  Her income was 
102:011,08[G  ]| not her own$2$, she said, with such perpetual claims on$4$ it; 
102:011,09[G  ]| and it was the more unkind in$4$ my father, because, 
102:011,10[G  ]| otherwise, the money would have been entirely at my 
102:011,11[G  ]| mother's disposal, without any restriction whatever.  It 
102:011,12[G  ]| has given me such an abhorrence of annuities, that$3$ I am 
102:011,13[G  ]| sure I would not pin myself down$5$ to$4$ the payment of one 
102:011,14[G  ]| for$4$ all the world." 
102:011,15[F  ]| "It is certainly an unpleasant thing," 
102:011,15['  ]| replied $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood, 
102:011,16[F  ]| "to$9$ have those kind$0$ of yearly drains on$4$ one's 
102:011,17[F  ]| income.  One's fortune, as your mother justly says, is 
102:011,18[F  ]| \not\ one's own$2$.  To$9$ be tied down$5$ to$4$ the regular payment 
102:011,19[F  ]| of such a sum, on$4$ every rent day, is by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ desirable: 
102:011,20[F  ]| it takes away one's independence." 
102:011,21[G  ]| "Undoubtedly; and after$4$ all you have no$2$ thanks 
102:011,22[G  ]| for$4$ it.  They think themselves secure$2$, you do no$2$ more 
102:011,23[G  ]| than what is expected, and it raises no$2$ gratitude at all. 
102:011,24[G  ]| If I were you, whatever I did should be done at my own$2$ 
102:011,25[G  ]| discretion entirely.  I would not bind myself to$9$ allow 
102:011,26[G  ]| them any*thing yearly.  It may$1$ be very inconvenient 
102:011,27[G  ]| some years to$9$ spare$1$ a hundred, or even$5$ fifty pounds from 
102:011,28[G  ]| our own$2$ expences." 
102:011,29[F  ]| "I believe you are right$2#1$, my love$0$; it will$1$ be better 
102:011,30[F  ]| that$3$ there should be no$2$ annuity in$4$ the case; whatever 
102:011,31[F  ]| I may$1$ give them occasionally will$1$ be of far greater assistance 
102:011,32[F  ]| than a yearly allowance, because they would only 
102:011,33[F  ]| enlarge their style of living if they felt sure of a larger 
102:011,34[F  ]| income, and would not be sixpence the richer for$4$ it at 
102:011,35[F  ]| the end$0$ of the year.  It will$1$ certainly be much the best 
102:011,36[F  ]| way.  A present$0#2$ of fifty pounds, now and then, will$1$ 
102:011,37[F  ]| prevent their ever being$1$ distressed for$4$ money, and will$1$, 
102:011,38[F  ]| I think be amply discharging my promise$0$ to$4$ my father." 
102:012,01[G  ]| "To$9$ be sure it will$1$.  Indeed, to$9$ say the truth, I am 
102:012,02[G  ]| convinced within myself that$3$ your father had no$2$ idea 
102:012,03[G  ]| of your giving them any money at all.  The assistance 
102:012,04[G  ]| he thought$1$ of, I dare$1#2$ say, was only such as might be 
102:012,05[G  ]| reasonably expected of you; for$4$ instance$0$, such as looking 
102:012,06[G  ]| out$5$ for$4$ a comfortable small house for$4$ them, helping them 
102:012,07[G  ]| to$9$ move$1$ their things, and sending them presents$0$ of fish 
102:012,08[G  ]| and game, and so$5#2$ forth, whenever they are in$4$ season. 
102:012,09[G  ]| I'll lay$1#1$ my life that$3$ he meant nothing farther; indeed, it 
102:012,10[G  ]| would be very strange and unreasonable if he did.  Do 
102:012,11[G  ]| but consider, my dear$2#1$ $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood, how excessively 
102:012,12[G  ]| comfortable your mother-in-law and her daughters may$1$ 
102:012,13[G  ]| live on$4$ the interest$0$ of seven thousand pounds, besides 
102:012,14[G  ]| the thousand pounds belonging to$4$ each of the girls, 
102:012,15[G  ]| which$6#1$ brings them in$4$ fifty pounds a-year a-piece, and, 
102:012,16[G  ]| of course$8$, they will$1$ pay$1$ their mother for$4$ their board out$5$ 
102:012,17[G  ]| of it.  Altogether, they will$1$ have five hundred a-year 
102:012,18[G  ]| amongst them, and what on$4$ earth can four women want$1$ 
102:012,19[G  ]| for$4$ more than that$6#2$? ~~ They will$1$ live so$5#1$ cheap!  Their 
102:012,20[G  ]| housekeeping will$1$ be nothing at all.  They will$1$ have no$2$ 
102:012,21[G  ]| carriage, no$2$ horses, and hardly any servants; they will$1$ 
102:012,22[G  ]| keep no$2$ company, and can have no$2$ expences of any kind$0$! 
102:012,23[G  ]| Only conceive how comfortable they will$1$ be!  Five 
102:012,24[G  ]| hundred a-year!  I am sure I cannot imagine how they 
102:012,25[G  ]| will$1$ spend half of it; and as to$4$ your giving them more, 
102:012,26[G  ]| it is quite absurd to$9$ think of it. They will$1$ be much more 
102:012,27[G  ]| able to$9$ give \you\ something." 
102:012,28[F  ]| "Upon$4$ my word," 
102:012,28['  ]| said $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood, 
102:012,28[F  ]| "I believe you 
102:012,29[F  ]| are perfectly right$2#1$.  My father certainly could mean$1$ 
102:012,30[F  ]| nothing more by$4$ his request$0$ to$4$ me than what you say. 
102:012,31[F  ]| I clearly understand it now, and I will$1$ strictly fulfil my 
102:012,32[F  ]| engagement by$4$ such acts$0$ of assistance and kindness to$4$ 
102:012,33[F  ]| them as you have described.  When my mother removes 
102:012,34[F  ]| into another house my services shall be readily given to$9$ 
102:012,35[F  ]| accommodate her as far as I can.  Some little present$0#2$ of 
102:012,36[F  ]| furniture too$5#2$ may$1$ be acceptable then." 
102:012,37[G  ]| "Certainly," 
102:012,37['  ]| returned $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood. 
102:012,37[G  ]| "But, 
102:012,38[G  ]| however, \one\ thing must be considered.  When your 
102:013,01[G  ]| father and mother moved to$4$ Norland, though the furniture 
102:013,02[G  ]| of Stanhill was sold, all the china, plate, and linen was 
102:013,03[G  ]| saved, and is now left to$4$ your mother.  Her house will$1$ 
102:013,04[G  ]| therefore be almost completely fitted up$5$ as soon as she 
102:013,05[G  ]| takes it." 
102:013,06[F  ]| "That$6#2$ is a material$2$ consideration undoubtedly.  A 
102:013,07[F  ]| valuable legacy indeed!  And yet some of the plate 
102:013,08[F  ]| would have been a very pleasant addition to$4$ our own$2$ 
102:013,09[F  ]| stock here." 
102:013,10[G  ]| "Yes; and the set$0$ of breakfast$0$ china is twice as 
102:013,11[G  ]| handsome as what belongs to$4$ this house.  A great deal$0$ 
102:013,12[G  ]| too$5#1$ handsome, in$4$ my opinion, for$4$ any place$0$ \they\ can ever 
102:013,13[G  ]| afford to$9$ live in$4$.  But, however, so$5#2$ it is.  Your father 
102:013,14[G  ]| thought$1$ only of \them\.  And I must say this:  that$3$ you 
102:013,15[G  ]| owe no$2$ particular gratitude to$4$ him, nor attention to$4$ his 
102:013,16[G  ]| wishes$0$, for$3$ we very well$5$ know that$3$ if he could, he would 
102:013,17[G  ]| have left almost every*thing in$4$ the world to$4$ \them\." 
102:013,18['  ]| This argument was irresistible.  It gave to$4$ his intentions 
102:013,19['  ]| whatever of decision was wanting before$5$; and he finally 
102:013,20['  ]| resolved, that$3$ it would be absolutely unnecessary, if 
102:013,21['  ]| not highly indecorous, to$9$ do more for$4$ the widow and 
102:013,22['  ]| children of his father, than such kind$0$ of neighbourly acts$0$ 
102:013,23['  ]| as his own$2$ wife pointed out$5$. 
103:014,01['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood remained at Norland several months; 
103:014,02['  ]| not from any disinclination to$9$ move$1$ when the sight of 
103:014,03['  ]| every well$5$ known spot ceased to$9$ raise the violent emotion 
103:014,04['  ]| which$6#1$ it produced for$4$ a while$0$; for$3$ when her spirits 
103:014,05['  ]| began to$9$ revive, and her mind$0$ became capable of some 
103:014,06['  ]| other exertion than that$6#2$ of heightening its affliction by$4$ 
103:014,07['  ]| melancholy$2$ remembrances, she was impatient to$9$ be gone, 
103:014,08['  ]| and indefatigable in$4$ her inquiries for$4$ a suitable dwelling 
103:014,09['  ]| in$4$ the neighbourhood of Norland; for$3$ to$9$ remove$1$ far 
103:014,10['  ]| from that$6#2$ beloved spot was impossible.  But she could 
103:014,11['  ]| hear of no$2$ situation that$6#1$ at once answered her notions 
103:014,12['  ]| of comfort$0$ and ease$0$, and suited the prudence of her 
103:014,13['  ]| eldest daughter, whose$6#1$ steadier judgment rejected several 
103:014,14['  ]| houses as too$5#1$ large for$4$ their income, which$6#1$ her mother 
103:014,15['  ]| would have approved. 
103:014,16['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood had been informed by$4$ her husband of 
103:014,17['  ]| the solemn promise$0$ on$4$ the part$0$ of his son in$4$ their favour$0$, 
103:014,18['  ]| which$6#1$ gave comfort$0$ to$4$ his last$2$ earthly reflections.  She 
103:014,19['  ]| doubted the sincerity of this assurance no$2$ more than he 
103:014,20['  ]| had doubted it himself, and she thought$1$ of it for$4$ her 
103:014,21['  ]| daughters' sake with satisfaction, though as for$4$ herself 
103:014,22['  ]| she was persuaded that$3$ a much smaller provision than 
103:014,23['  ]| 7000*l% would support$1$ her in$4$ affluence.  For$4$ their brother's 
103:014,24['  ]| sake too$5#2$, for$4$ the sake of his own$2$ heart she rejoiced; and 
103:014,25['  ]| she reproached herself for$4$ being$1$ unjust to$4$ his merit$0$ before$5$, 
103:014,26['  ]| in$4$ believing him incapable of generosity.  His attentive 
103:014,27['  ]| behaviour to$4$ herself and his sisters convinced her that$3$ 
103:014,28['  ]| their welfare was dear$2#1$ to$4$ him, and, for$4$ a long time, she 
103:014,29['  ]| firmly relied on$4$ the liberality of his intentions. 
103:014,30['  ]| The contempt which$6#1$ she had, very early in$4$ their 
103:014,31['  ]| acquaintance, felt for$4$ her daughter-in-law, was very 
103:014,32['  ]| much increased by$4$ the farther knowledge of her character, 
103:014,33['  ]| which$6#1$ half a year's residence in$4$ her family afforded; and 
103:015,01['  ]| perhaps in$4$ spite$8$ of every consideration of politeness or 
103:015,02['  ]| maternal affection on$4$ the side$0$ of the former, the two ladies 
103:015,03['  ]| might have found it impossible to$9$ have lived together 
103:015,04['  ]| so$5#1$ long, had not a particular circumstance occurred to$9$ 
103:015,05['  ]| give still$5$ greater eligibility, according to$4$ the opinions of 
103:015,06['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, to$4$ her daughters' continuance at Norland. 
103:015,07['  ]| This circumstance was a growing attachment between 
103:015,08['  ]| her eldest girl and the brother of $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood, 
103:015,09['  ]| a gentlemanlike and pleasing young man, who$6#1$ was introduced 
103:015,10['  ]| to$4$ their acquaintance soon after$4$ his sister's establishment 
103:015,11['  ]| at Norland, and who$6#1$ had since spent the greatest 
103:015,12['  ]| part$0$ of his time there. 
103:015,13['  ]| Some mothers might have encouraged the intimacy 
103:015,14['  ]| from motives of interest$0$, for$3$ $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars was the 
103:015,15['  ]| eldest son of a man who$6#1$ had died very rich; and some 
103:015,16['  ]| might have repressed it from motives of prudence, for$3$, 
103:015,17['  ]| except a trifling sum, the whole$0$ of his fortune depended 
103:015,18['  ]| on$4$ the will$0$ of his mother.  But $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was alike 
103:015,19['  ]| uninfluenced by$4$ either consideration.  It was enough for$4$ 
103:015,20['  ]| her that$3$ he appeared to$9$ be amiable, that$3$ he loved her 
103:015,21['  ]| daughter, and that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor returned the partiality.  It 
103:015,22['  ]| was contrary to$4$ every doctrine of her's that$3$ difference of 
103:015,23['  ]| fortune should keep any couple asunder who$6#1$ were 
103:015,24['  ]| attracted by$4$ resemblance of disposition; and that$3$ 
103:015,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's merit$0$ should not be acknowledged by$4$ every*one 
103:015,26['  ]| who$6#1$ knew her, was to$4$ her comprehension impossible. 
103:015,27['  ]| $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars was not recommended to$4$ their good 
103:015,28['  ]| opinion by$4$ any peculiar graces of person or address$0$.  He 
103:015,29['  ]| was not handsome, and his manners required intimacy to$9$ 
103:015,30['  ]| make$1$ them pleasing.  He was too$5#1$ diffident to$4$ do justice to$9$ 
103:015,31['  ]| himself; but when his natural$2$ shyness was overcome, 
103:015,32['  ]| his behaviour gave every indication of an open$2$ affectionate 
103:015,33['  ]| heart.  His understanding was good, and his education 
103:015,34['  ]| had given it solid improvement.  But he was neither fitted 
103:015,35['  ]| by$4$ abilities nor disposition to$9$ answer$1$ the wishes$0$ of his 
103:015,36['  ]| mother and sister, who$6#1$ longed to$9$ see him distinguished ~~ 
103:015,37['  ]| as ~~ they hardly knew what.  They wanted him to$9$ make$1$ 
103:015,38['  ]| a fine figure in$4$ the world in$4$ some manner or other.  His 
103:016,01['  ]| mother wished to$9$ interest$1$ him in$4$ political concerns$0$, to$9$ 
103:016,02['  ]| get him into parliament, or to$9$ see him connected with 
103:016,03['  ]| some of the great men of the day.  $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood 
103:016,04['  ]| wished it likewise; but in$4$ the mean*while, till one of 
103:016,05['  ]| these superior blessings could be attained, it would have 
103:016,06['  ]| quieted her ambition to$9$ see him driving a barouche.  But 
103:016,07['  ]| $SS#B$Edward had no$2$ turn$0$ for$4$ great men or barouches.  All 
103:016,08['  ]| his wishes$0$ centered in$4$ domestic$2$ comfort$0$ and the quiet$2$ of 
103:016,09['  ]| private$2$ life.  Fortunately he had a younger brother who$6#1$ 
103:016,10['  ]| was more promising. 
103:016,11['  ]| $SS#B$Edward had been staying several weeks in$4$ the house 
103:016,12['  ]| before$3$ he engaged much of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's attention; 
103:016,13['  ]| for$3$ she was, at that$6#2$ time, in$4$ such affliction as rendered 
103:016,14['  ]| her careless of surrounding objects$0$.  She saw only that$3$ 
103:016,15['  ]| he was quiet$2$ and unobtrusive, and she liked him for$4$ it. 
103:016,16['  ]| He did not disturb the wretchedness of her mind$0$ by$4$ 
103:016,17['  ]| ill-timed conversation.  She was first called to$9$ observe 
103:016,18['  ]| and approve him farther, by$4$ a reflection which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor 
103:016,19['  ]| chanced one day to$9$ make$1$ on$4$ the difference between him 
103:016,20['  ]| and his sister.  It was a contrast which$6#1$ recommended 
103:016,21['  ]| him most forcibly to$4$ her mother. 
103:016,22[D  ]| "It is enough," 
103:016,22['  ]| said she; 
103:016,22[D  ]| "to$9$ say that$3$ he is unlike 
103:016,23[D  ]| $SS#G$Fanny is enough.  It implies every*thing amiable.  I love$1$ 
103:016,24[D  ]| him already." 
103:016,25[A  ]| "I think you will$1$ like$1$ him," 
103:016,25['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
103:016,25[A  ]| "when you 
103:016,26[A  ]| know more of him." 
103:016,27[D  ]| "Like$1$ him!" 
103:016,27['  ]| replied her mother with a smile$0$. 
103:016,27[D  ]| "I 
103:016,28[D  ]| can feel no$2$ sentiment of approbation inferior to$4$ love$0$." 
103:016,29[A  ]| "You may$1$ esteem$1$ him." 
103:016,30[D  ]| "I have never yet known what it was to$9$ separate$1$ 
103:016,31[D  ]| esteem$0$ and love$0$." 
103:016,32['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood now took pains to$9$ get acquainted 
103:016,33['  ]| with him.  Her manners were attaching and soon 
103:016,34['  ]| banished his reserve$0$.  She speedily comprehended all 
103:016,35['  ]| his merits; the persuasion of his regard$0$ for$4$ $SS#A$Elinor 
103:016,36['  ]| perhaps assisted her penetration; but she really felt 
103:016,37['  ]| assured of his worth:  and even$5$ that$6#2$ quietness of manner 
103:016,38['  ]| which$6#1$ militated against all her established ideas of what 
103:017,01['  ]| a young man's address$0$ ought to$9$ be, was no$2$ longer 
103:017,02['  ]| uninteresting when she knew his heart to$9$ be warm$2$ and 
103:017,03['  ]| his temper affectionate. 
103:017,04['  ]| No$2$ sooner did she perceive any symptom of love$0$ in$4$ 
103:017,05['  ]| his behaviour to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, than she considered their 
103:017,06['  ]| serious$2$ attachment as certain, and looked forward$5$ to$4$ 
103:017,07['  ]| their marriage as rapidly approaching. 
103:017,08[D  ]| "In$4$ a few months, my dear$2#1$ $SS#C$Marianne," 
103:017,08['  ]| said she, 
103:017,09[D  ]| "$SS#A$Elinor will$1$ in$4$ all probability be settled for$4$ life.  We 
103:017,10[D  ]| shall miss her; but \she\ will$1$ be happy." 
103:017,11[C  ]| "Oh! mama, how shall we do without her?" 
103:017,12[D  ]| "My love$0$, it will$1$ be scarcely a separation.  We shall 
103:017,13[D  ]| live within a few miles of each other, and shall meet$1$ 
103:017,14[D  ]| every day of our lives$0$.  You will$1$ gain$1$ a brother, a real, 
103:017,15[D  ]| affectionate brother.  I have the highest opinion in$4$ the 
103:017,16[D  ]| world of $SS#B$Edward's heart.  But you look$1$ grave$2$, $SS#C$Marianne; 
103:017,17[D  ]| do you disapprove your sister's choice$0$?" 
103:017,18[C  ]| "Perhaps," 
103:017,18['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
103:017,18[C  ]| "I may$1$ consider it with 
103:017,19[C  ]| some surprise$0$.  $SS#B$Edward is very amiable, and I love$1$ him 
103:017,20[C  ]| tenderly.  But yet ~~ he is not the kind$0$ of young man ~~ 
103:017,21[C  ]| there is a something wanting ~~ his figure is not striking; 
103:017,22[C  ]| it has none of that$6#2$ grace$0$ which$6#1$ I should expect in$4$ the 
103:017,23[C  ]| man who$6#1$ could seriously attach my sister.  His eyes 
103:017,24[C  ]| want$1$ all that$6#2$ spirit, that$6#2$ fire$0$, which$6#1$ at once announce 
103:017,25[C  ]| virtue and intelligence.  And besides all this, I am afraid, 
103:017,26[C  ]| mama, he has no$2$ real taste.  Music seems scarcely to$9$ 
103:017,27[C  ]| attract him, and though he admires $SS#A$Elinor's drawings 
103:017,28[C  ]| very much, it is not the admiration of a person who$6#1$ can 
103:017,29[C  ]| understand their worth.  It is evident, in$4$ spite$8$ of his 
103:017,30[C  ]| frequent attention to$4$ her while$3$ she draws, that$3$ in$4$ fact 
103:017,31[C  ]| he knows nothing of the matter.  He admires as a lover, 
103:017,32[C  ]| not as a connoisseur.  To$9$ satisfy me, those characters 
103:017,33[C  ]| must be united.  I could not be happy with a man whose$6#1$ 
103:017,34[C  ]| taste did not in$4$ every point$0$ coincide with my own$2$.  He 
103:017,35[C  ]| must enter into all my feelings; the same books, the 
103:017,36[C  ]| same music must charm$1$ us both.  Oh! mama, how 
103:017,37[C  ]| spiritless, how tame was $SS#B$Edward's manner in$4$ reading 
103:017,38[C  ]| to$4$ us last$2$ night!  I felt for$4$ my sister most severely. 
103:018,01[C  ]| Yet she bore$1#1$ it with so$5#1$ much composure, she seemed 
103:018,02[C  ]| scarcely to$9$ notice$1$ it.  I could hardly keep my seat. 
103:018,03[C  ]| To$9$ hear those beautiful lines which$6#1$ have frequently 
103:018,04[C  ]| almost driven me wild, pronounced with such impenetrable 
103:018,05[C  ]| calmness, such dreadful indifference!" ~~ 
103:018,06[D  ]| "He would certainly have done more justice to$4$ 
103:018,07[D  ]| simple$2$ and elegant prose.  I thought$1$ so$5#2$ at the time; 
103:018,08[D  ]| but you \would\ give him $SS#Z1$Cowper." 
103:018,09[C  ]| "Nay, mama, if he is not to$9$ be animated by$4$ $SS#Z1$Cowper! 
103:018,10[C  ]| ~~ but we must allow for$4$ difference of taste.  $SS#A$Elinor 
103:018,11[C  ]| has not my feelings, and therefore she may$1$ overlook it, 
103:018,12[C  ]| and be happy with him.  But it would have broke \my\ 
103:018,13[C  ]| heart had I loved him, to$9$ hear him read with so$5#1$ little 
103:018,14[C  ]| sensibility.  Mama, the more I know of the world, the 
103:018,15[C  ]| more am I convinced that$3$ I shall never see a man whom$6#1$ 
103:018,16[C  ]| I can really love$1$.  I require so$5#1$ much!  He must have 
103:018,17[C  ]| all $SS#B$Edward's virtues, and his person and manners must 
103:018,18[C  ]| ornament his goodness with every possible charm$0$." 
103:018,19[D  ]| "Remember, my love$0$, that$3$ you are not seventeen. 
103:018,20[D  ]| It is yet too$5#1$ early in$4$ life to$9$ despair$1$ of such an happiness. 
103:018,21[D  ]| Why should you be less fortunate than your mother? 
103:018,22[D  ]| In$4$ one circumstance only, my $SS#C$Marianne, may$1$ your 
103:018,23[D  ]| destiny be different from her's!" 
104:019,01[C  ]| "What a pity$0$ it is, $SS#A$Elinor", 
104:019,01['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
104:019,01[C  ]| "that$3$ 
104:019,02[C  ]| $SS#B$Edward should have no$2$ taste for$4$ drawing." 
104:019,03[A  ]| "No$2$ taste for$4$ drawing," 
104:019,03['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor; 
104:019,03[A  ]| "why 
104:019,04[A  ]| should you think so$5#2$?  He does not draw himself, indeed, 
104:019,05[A  ]| but he has great pleasure in$4$ seeing the performance of 
104:019,06[A  ]| other people, and I assure you he is by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ deficient 
104:019,07[A  ]| in$4$ natural$2$ taste, though he has not had opportunities 
104:019,08[A  ]| of improving it.  Had he ever been in$4$ the way of learning, 
104:019,09[A  ]| I think he would have drawn very well$5$.  He distrusts 
104:019,10[A  ]| his own$2$ judgment in$4$ such matters so$5#1$ much, that$3$ he 
104:019,11[A  ]| is always unwilling to$9$ give his opinion on$4$ any picture$0$; 
104:019,12[A  ]| but he has an innate propriety and simplicity of taste, 
104:019,13[A  ]| which$6#1$ in$4$ general$0$ direct$1$ him perfectly right$2#1$." 
104:019,14['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was afraid of offending, and said no$2$ more 
104:019,15['  ]| on$4$ the subject$0$; but the kind$0$ of approbation which$6#1$ 
104:019,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor described as excited in$4$ him by$4$ the drawings of 
104:019,17['  ]| other people, was very far from that$6#2$ rapturous delight$0$, 
104:019,18['  ]| which$6#1$, in$4$ her opinion, could alone be called taste.  Yet, 
104:019,19['  ]| though smiling within herself at the mistake$0$, she 
104:019,20['  ]| honoured her sister for$4$ that$6#2$ blind$2$ partiality to$4$ $SS#B$Edward 
104:019,21['  ]| which$6#1$ produced it. 
104:019,22[A  ]| "I hope$1$, $SS#C$Marianne," 
104:019,22['  ]| continued $SS#A$Elinor, 
104:019,22[A  ]| "you do not 
104:019,23[A  ]| consider him as deficient in$4$ general$2$ taste.  Indeed, 
104:019,24[A  ]| I think I may$1$ say that$3$ you cannot, for$3$ your behaviour 
104:019,25[A  ]| to$4$ him is perfectly cordial$2$, and if \that$6#2$\ were your opinion, 
104:019,26[A  ]| I am sure you could never be civil to$4$ him." 
104:019,27['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne hardly knew what to$9$ say.  She would not 
104:019,28['  ]| wound$1#2$ the feelings of her sister on$4$ any account$0$, and yet 
104:019,29['  ]| to$9$ say what she did not believe was impossible.  At 
104:019,30['  ]| length she replied: 
104:019,31[C  ]| "Do not be offended, $SS#A$Elinor, if my praise$0$ of him is 
104:019,32[C  ]| not in$4$ every*thing equal$2$ to$4$ your sense of his merits.  I 
104:019,33[C  ]| have not had so$5#1$ many opportunities of estimating the 
104:020,01[C  ]| minuter propensities of his mind$0$, his inclinations and 
104:020,02[C  ]| tastes as you have; but I have the highest opinion in$4$ 
104:020,03[C  ]| the world of his goodness and sense.  I think him every*thing 
104:020,04[C  ]| that$6#1$ is worthy and amiable." 
104:020,05[A  ]| "I am sure," 
104:020,05['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor with a smile$0$, 
104:020,05[A  ]| "that$3$ his 
104:020,06[A  ]| dearest friends could not be dissatisfied with such 
104:020,07[A  ]| commendation as that$6#2$.  I do not perceive how you 
104:020,08[A  ]| could express$1$ yourself more warmly." 
104:020,09['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was rejoiced to$9$ find her sister so$5#1$ easily 
104:020,10['  ]| pleased. 
104:020,11[A  ]| "Of his sense and his goodness," 
104:020,11['  ]| continued $SS#A$Elinor, 
104:020,12[A  ]| "no*one can, I think, be in$4$ doubt$0$, who$6#1$ has seen him 
104:020,13[A  ]| often enough to$9$ engage him in$4$ unreserved conversation. 
104:020,14[A  ]| The excellence of his understanding and his principles 
104:020,15[A  ]| can be concealed only by$4$ that$6#2$ shyness which$6#1$ too$5#1$ often 
104:020,16[A  ]| keeps him silent.  You know enough of him to$9$ do justice 
104:020,17[A  ]| to$4$ his solid worth.  But of his minuter propensities as 
104:020,18[A  ]| you call$1$ them, you have from peculiar circumstances 
104:020,19[A  ]| been kept more ignorant than myself.  He and I have 
104:020,20[A  ]| been at times thrown a good deal$0$ together, while$3$ you 
104:020,21[A  ]| have been wholly engrossed on$4$ the most affectionate 
104:020,22[A  ]| principle by$4$ my mother.  I have seen a great deal$0$ of 
104:020,23[A  ]| him, have studied his sentiments and heard his opinion 
104:020,24[A  ]| on$4$ subjects of literature and taste; and, upon$4$ the whole$0$, 
104:020,25[A  ]| I venture to$9$ pronounce that$3$ his mind$0$ is well-informed, 
104:020,26[A  ]| his enjoyment of books exceedingly great, his imagination 
104:020,27[A  ]| lively, his observation just$2$ and correct$2$, and his taste 
104:020,28[A  ]| delicate and pure.  His abilities in$4$ every respect$0$ improve 
104:020,29[A  ]| as much upon$4$ acquaintance as his manners and person. 
104:020,30[A  ]| At first sight, his address$0$ is certainly not striking; and 
104:020,31[A  ]| his person can hardly be called handsome, till the expression 
104:020,32[A  ]| of his eyes, which$6#1$ are uncommonly good, and the 
104:020,33[A  ]| general$2$ sweetness of his countenance, is perceived.  At 
104:020,34[A  ]| present$0#1$, I know him so$5#1$ well$5$, that$3$ I think him really 
104:020,35[A  ]| handsome; or, at least, almost so$5#2$.  What say you, 
104:020,36[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne?" 
104:020,37[C  ]| "I shall very soon think him handsome, $SS#A$Elinor, if 
104:020,38[C  ]| I do not now.  When you tell me to$9$ love$1$ him as a brother, 
104:021,01[C  ]| I shall no$2$ more see imperfection in$4$ his face$0$, than I now 
104:021,02[C  ]| do in$4$ his heart." 
104:021,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor started at this declaration, and was sorry for$4$ 
104:021,04['  ]| the warmth she had been betrayed into, in$4$ speaking 
104:021,05['  ]| of him.  She felt that$3$ $SS#B$Edward stood very high in$4$ her 
104:021,06['  ]| opinion.  She believed the regard$0$ to$9$ be mutual; but 
104:021,07['  ]| she required greater certainty of it to$9$ make$1$ $SS#C$Marianne's 
104:021,08['  ]| conviction of their attachment agreeable to$4$ her.  She 
104:021,09['  ]| knew that$3$ what $SS#C$Marianne and her mother conjectured 
104:021,10['  ]| one moment, they believed the next ~~ that$3$ with them, 
104:021,11['  ]| to$9$ wish$1$ was to$9$ hope$1$, and to$9$ hope$1$ was to$9$ expect.  She 
104:021,12['  ]| tried to$9$ explain the real state$0$ of the case to$4$ her sister. 
104:021,13[A  ]| "I do not attempt$1$ to$9$ deny," 
104:021,13['  ]| said she, 
104:021,13[A  ]| "that$3$ I think 
104:021,14[A  ]| very highly of him ~~ that$3$ I greatly esteem$1$, that$3$ I like$1$ 
104:021,15[A  ]| him." 
104:021,16['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne here burst$1$ forth with indignation ~~ 
104:021,17[C  ]| "Esteem$1$ him!  Like$1$ him!  Cold-hearted $SS#A$Elinor!  Oh! 
104:021,18[C  ]| worse than cold-hearted!  Ashamed of being$1$ otherwise.  Use$1$ 
104:021,19[C  ]| those words again and I will$1$ leave$1$ the room this moment." 
104:021,20['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not help$1$ laughing. 
104:021,20[A  ]| "Excuse$1$ me," 
104:021,20['  ]| said 
104:021,21['  ]| she, 
104:021,21[A  ]| "and be assured that$3$ I meant no$2$ offence to$4$ you, 
104:021,22[A  ]| by$4$ speaking, in$4$ so$5#1$ quiet$2$ a way, of my own$2$ feelings. 
104:021,23[A  ]| Believe them to$9$ be stronger than I have declared; 
104:021,24[A  ]| believe them, in$4$ short, to$9$ be such as his merit$0$, and the 
104:021,25[A  ]| suspicion ~~ the hope$0$ of his affection for$4$ me may$1$ warrant, 
104:021,26[A  ]| without imprudence or folly.  But farther than this 
104:021,27[A  ]| you must \not\ believe.  I am by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ assured of 
104:021,28[A  ]| his regard$0$ for$4$ me.  There are moments when the extent 
104:021,29[A  ]| of it seems doubtful; and till his sentiments are fully 
104:021,30[A  ]| known, you cannot wonder$1$ at my wishing to$9$ avoid any 
104:021,31[A  ]| encouragement of my own$2$ partiality, by$4$ believing or 
104:021,32[A  ]| calling it more than it is.  In$4$ my heart I feel little ~~ 
104:021,33[A  ]| scarcely any doubt$0$ of his preference.  But there are 
104:021,34[A  ]| other points to$9$ be considered besides his inclination. 
104:021,35[A  ]| He is very far from being$1$ independent.  What his mother 
104:021,36[A  ]| really is we cannot know; but, from $SS#G$Fanny's occasional 
104:021,37[A  ]| mention$0$ of her conduct$0$ and opinions, we have never 
104:021,38[A  ]| been disposed to$9$ think her amiable; and I am very much 
104:022,01[A  ]| mistaken if $SS#B$Edward is not himself aware that$3$ there 
104:022,02[A  ]| would be many difficulties in$4$ his way, if he were to$9$ wish$1$ 
104:022,03[A  ]| to$9$ marry a woman who$6#1$ had not either a great fortune 
104:022,04[A  ]| or high rank$0$." 
104:022,05['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was astonished to$9$ find how much the 
104:022,06['  ]| imagination of her mother and herself had outstripped 
104:022,07['  ]| the truth. 
104:022,08[C  ]| "And you really are not engaged to$4$ him!" 
104:022,08['  ]| said she. 
104:022,09[C  ]| "Yet it certainly soon will$1$ happen.  But two advantages 
104:022,10[C  ]| will$1$ proceed from this delay$0$.  \I\ shall not lose you so$5#1$ 
104:022,11[C  ]| soon, and $SS#B$Edward will$1$ have greater opportunity of 
104:022,12[C  ]| improving that$6#2$ natural$2$ taste for$4$ your favourite$2$ pursuit 
104:022,13[C  ]| which$6#1$ must be so$5#1$ indispensably necessary to$4$ your 
104:022,14[C  ]| future felicity.  Oh! if he should be so$5#1$ far stimulated 
104:022,15[C  ]| by$4$ your genius as to$9$ learn to$9$ draw himself, how delightful 
104:022,16[C  ]| it would be!" 
104:022,17['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had given her real opinion to$4$ her sister.  She 
104:022,18['  ]| could not consider her partiality for$4$ $SS#B$Edward in$4$ so$5#1$ 
104:022,19['  ]| prosperous a state$0$ as $SS#C$Marianne had believed it. 
104:022,19@a   | There 
104:022,20@a   | was, at times, a want$0$ of spirits about$4$ him which$6#1$, if it 
104:022,21@a   | did not denote indifference, spoke a something almost 
104:022,22@a   | as unpromising.  A doubt$0$ of her regard$0$, supposing him 
104:022,23@a   | to$9$ feel it, need$1$ not give him more than inquietude.  It 
104:022,24@a   | would not be likely to$9$ produce that$6#2$ dejection of mind$0$ 
104:022,25@a   | which$6#1$ frequently attended him.  A more reasonable 
104:022,26@a   | cause might be found in$4$ the dependent situation which$6#1$ 
104:022,27@a   | forbad the indulgence of his affection. 
104:022,27['  ]| She knew that$3$ 
104:022,28['  ]| his mother neither behaved to$4$ him so$3$ as to$9$ make$1$ his 
104:022,29['  ]| home comfortable at present$0#1$, nor to$9$ give him any assurance 
104:022,30['  ]| that$3$ he might form$1$ a home for$4$ himself, without 
104:022,31['  ]| strictly attending to$4$ her views for$4$ his aggrandizement. 
104:022,32['  ]| With such a knowledge as this, it was impossible for$4$ 
104:022,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor to$9$ feel easy on$4$ the subject$0$.  She was far from 
104:022,34['  ]| depending on$4$ that$6#2$ result$0$ of his preference of her, which$6#1$ 
104:022,35['  ]| her mother and sister still$5$ considered as certain.  Nay, 
104:022,36['  ]| the longer they were together the more doubtful seemed 
104:022,37['  ]| the nature of his regard$0$; and sometimes, for$4$ a few painful 
104:022,38['  ]| minutes, she believed it to$9$ be no$2$ more than friendship. 
104:023,01['  ]| But, whatever might really be its limits, it was enough, 
104:023,02['  ]| when perceived by$4$ his sister, to$9$ make$1$ her uneasy; and 
104:023,03['  ]| at the same time, (which$6#1$ was still$5$ more common$2$,) to$9$ 
104:023,04['  ]| make$1$ her uncivil.  She took the first opportunity of 
104:023,05['  ]| affronting her mother-in-law on$4$ the occasion$0$, talking to$4$ 
104:023,06['  ]| her so$5#1$ expressively of her brother's great expectations, 
104:023,07['  ]| of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's resolution that$3$ both her sons should 
104:023,08['  ]| marry well$5$, and of the danger attending any young 
104:023,09['  ]| woman who$6#1$ attempted to$9$ \draw\ \him\ \in$5$\; that$3$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
104:023,10['  ]| could neither pretend to$9$ be unconscious, 
104:023,11['  ]| nor endeavour$1$ to$9$ be calm$2$.  She gave her an answer$0$ 
104:023,12['  ]| which$6#1$ marked her contempt, and instantly left the room, 
104:023,13['  ]| resolving that$3$, whatever might be the inconvenience or 
104:023,14['  ]| expense of so$5#1$ sudden$2$ a removal, her beloved $SS#A$Elinor 
104:023,15['  ]| should not be exposed another week to$4$ such insinuations. 
104:023,16['  ]| In$4$ this state$0$ of her spirits, a letter was delivered to$4$ 
104:023,17['  ]| her from the post, which$6#1$ contained a proposal particularly 
104:023,18['  ]| well$5$ timed.  It was the offer$0$ of a small house, 
104:023,19['  ]| on$4$ very easy terms, belonging to$4$ a relation of her own$2$, 
104:023,20['  ]| a gentleman of consequence and property in$4$ Devonshire. 
104:023,21['  ]| The letter was from this gentleman himself, and written 
104:023,22['  ]| in$4$ the true spirit of friendly accommodation.  
104:023,22@l   | He 
104:023,23@l   | understood that$3$ she was in$4$ need$0$ of a dwelling, and though 
104:023,24@l   | the house he now offered her was merely a cottage, he 
104:023,25@l   | assured her that$3$ every*thing should be done to$4$ it which$6#1$ 
104:023,26@l   | she might think necessary, if the situation pleased her. 
104:023,27['  ]| He earnestly pressed her, after$4$ giving the particulars of 
104:023,28['  ]| the house and garden, to$9$ come with her daughters to$4$ 
104:023,29['  ]| Barton*Park, the place$0$ of his own$2$ residence, from whence 
104:023,30['  ]| she might judge$1$, herself, whether Barton*Cottage, for$3$ 
104:023,31['  ]| the houses were in$4$ the same parish, could, by$4$ any alteration, 
104:023,32['  ]| be made comfortable to$4$ her.  He seemed really 
104:023,33['  ]| anxious to$9$ accommodate them, and the whole$0$ of his 
104:023,34['  ]| letter was written in$4$ so$5#1$ friendly a style as could not fail 
104:023,35['  ]| of giving pleasure to$4$ his cousin; more especially at 
104:023,36['  ]| a moment when she was suffering under the cold$2$ and 
104:023,37['  ]| unfeeling behaviour of her nearer connections.  She 
104:023,38['  ]| needed no$2$ time for$4$ deliberation or inquiry.  Her resolution 
104:024,01['  ]| was formed as she read.  The situation of Barton, 
104:024,02['  ]| in$4$ a county so$5#1$ far distant from Sussex as Devonshire, 
104:024,03['  ]| which$6#1$, but a few hours before$5$, would have been a sufficient 
104:024,04['  ]| objection to$9$ outweigh every possible advantage 
104:024,05['  ]| belonging to$4$ the place$0$, was now its first recommendation. 
104:024,06@d   | To$9$ quit the neighbourhood of Norland was no$2$ longer an 
104:024,07@d   | evil; it was an object$0$ of desire$0$; it was a blessing, in$4$ 
104:024,08@d   | comparison of the misery of continuing her daughter-in-law's 
104:024,09@d   | guest:  and to$9$ remove$1$ for*ever from that$6#2$ 
104:024,10@d   | beloved place$0$ would be less painful than to$9$ inhabit 
104:024,11@d   | or visit$1$ it while$3$ such a woman was its mistress. 
104:024,11['  ]| She 
104:024,12['  ]| instantly wrote $SS#L$Sir*John*Middleton her acknowledgment 
104:024,13['  ]| of his kindness, and her acceptance of his proposal; 
104:024,14['  ]| and then hastened to$9$ shew$1$ both letters to$4$ her daughters, 
104:024,15['  ]| that$3$ she might be secure$2$ of their approbation before$3$ her 
104:024,16['  ]| answer$0$ were sent. 
104:024,17['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had always thought$1$ it would be more prudent 
104:024,18['  ]| for$4$ them to$9$ settle at some distance$0$ from Norland than 
104:024,19['  ]| immediately amongst their present$2$ acquaintance.  On$4$ 
104:024,20['  ]| \that$6#2$\ head$0$, therefore, it was not for$4$ her to$9$ oppose her 
104:024,21['  ]| mother's intention of removing into Devonshire.  The 
104:024,22['  ]| house, too$5#2$, as described by$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John, was on$4$ so$5#1$ simple$2$ 
104:024,23['  ]| a scale, and the rent so$5#1$ uncommonly moderate, as to$9$ 
104:024,24['  ]| leave$1$ her no$2$ right$0$ of objection on$4$ either point$0$; and, 
104:024,25['  ]| therefore, though it was not a plan which$6#1$ brought any 
104:024,26['  ]| charm$0$ to$4$ her fancy$0$, though it was a removal from the 
104:024,27['  ]| vicinity of Norland beyond$4$ her wishes$0$, she made no$2$ 
104:024,28['  ]| attempt$0$ to$9$ dissuade her mother from sending her letter 
104:024,29['  ]| of acquiescence. 
105:025,01['  ]| No$2$ sooner was her answer$0$ dispatched, than $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
105:025,02['  ]| indulged herself in$4$ the pleasure of announcing to$4$ 
105:025,03['  ]| her son-in-law and his wife that$3$ 
105:025,03@d   | she was provided with 
105:025,04@d   | an house, and should incommode them no$2$ longer than 
105:025,05@d   | till every*thing were ready for$4$ her inhabiting it. 
105:025,05['  ]| They 
105:025,06['  ]| heard her with surprise$0$.  $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood said 
105:025,07['  ]| nothing; but her husband civilly 
105:025,07@g   | hoped that$3$ she would 
105:025,08@g   | not be settled far from Norland. 
105:025,08['  ]| She had great satisfaction 
105:025,09['  ]| in$4$ replying that$3$ she was going into Devonshire. ~~ 
105:025,10['  ]| $SS#B$Edward turned hastily towards her, on$4$ hearing this, 
105:025,11['  ]| and, in$4$ a voice of surprise$0$ and concern$0$, which$6#1$ required 
105:025,12['  ]| no$2$ explanation to$4$ her, repeated, 
105:025,12[B  ]| "Devonshire!  Are 
105:025,13[B  ]| you, indeed, going there?  So$5#1$ far from hence!  And to$4$ 
105:025,14[B  ]| what part$0$ of it?" 
105:025,14['  ]| She explained the situation.  It was 
105:025,15['  ]| within four miles northward of Exeter. 
105:025,16[D  ]| "It is but a cottage," 
105:025,16['  ]| she continued, 
105:025,16[D  ]| "but I hope$1$ 
105:025,17[D  ]| to$9$ see many of my friends in$4$ it.  A room or two can 
105:025,18[D  ]| easily be added; and if my friends find no$2$ difficulty 
105:025,19[D  ]| in$4$ travelling so$5#1$ far to$9$ see me, I am sure I will$1$ find none 
105:025,20[D  ]| in$4$ accommodating them." 
105:025,21['  ]| She concluded with a very kind$2$ invitation to$4$ $SS#F$Mr% and 
105:025,22['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood to$9$ visit$1$ her at Barton; and to$4$ 
105:025,23['  ]| $SS#B$Edward she gave one with still$5$ greater affection.  Though 
105:025,24['  ]| her late conversation with her daughter-in-law had 
105:025,25['  ]| made her resolve$1$ on$4$ remaining at Norland no$2$ longer than 
105:025,26['  ]| was unavoidable, it had not produced the smallest effect$0$ 
105:025,27['  ]| on$4$ her in$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$ to$4$ which$6#1$ it principally tended. 
105:025,28['  ]| To$9$ separate$1$ $SS#B$Edward and $SS#A$Elinor was as far from being$1$ 
105:025,29['  ]| her object$0$ as ever; and she wished to$9$ shew$1$ $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood 
105:025,30['  ]| by$4$ this pointed invitation to$4$ her brother, how 
105:025,31['  ]| totally she disregarded her disapprobation of the match$0$. 
105:025,32['  ]| $SS#F$Mr%*John*Dashwood told his mother again and again 
105:025,33@g   | how exceedingly sorry he was that$3$ she had taken an 
105:025,34@g   | house at such a distance$0$ from Norland as to$9$ prevent 
105:026,01@g   | his being$1$ of any service to$4$ her in$4$ removing her furniture. 
105:026,02['  ]| He really felt conscientiously vexed on$4$ the occasion$0$; 
105:026,03['  ]| for$3$ the very exertion to$4$ which$6#1$ he had limited the 
105:026,04['  ]| performance of his promise$0$ to$4$ his father was by$4$ this 
105:026,05['  ]| arrangement rendered impracticable. ~~ The furniture 
105:026,06['  ]| was all sent round$5$ by$4$ water.  It chiefly consisted of 
105:026,07['  ]| household linen, plate, china, and books, with an 
105:026,08['  ]| handsome pianoforte of $SS#C$Marianne's.  $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood 
105:026,09['  ]| saw the packages depart with a sigh$0$:  she could 
105:026,10['  ]| not help$1$ feeling it hard that$3$ as $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's income 
105:026,11['  ]| would be so$5#1$ trifling in$4$ comparison with their own$2$, she 
105:026,12['  ]| should have any handsome article of furniture. 
105:026,13['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood took the house for$4$ a twelvemonth; 
105:026,14['  ]| it was ready furnished, and she might have immediate 
105:026,15['  ]| possession.  No$2$ difficulty arose on$4$ either side$0$ in$4$ the 
105:026,16['  ]| agreement; and she waited only for$4$ the disposal of 
105:026,17['  ]| her effects at Norland, and to$9$ determine her future 
105:026,18['  ]| household, before$3$ she set$1$ off for$4$ the west; and this, 
105:026,19['  ]| as she was exceedingly rapid in$4$ the performance of 
105:026,20['  ]| every*thing that$6#1$ interested her, was soon done. ~~ The 
105:026,21['  ]| horses which$6#1$ were left her by$4$ her husband, had been 
105:026,22['  ]| sold soon after$4$ his death, and an opportunity now offering 
105:026,23['  ]| of disposing of her carriage, she agreed to$9$ sell that$6#2$ likewise 
105:026,24['  ]| at the earnest advice of her eldest daughter.  For$4$ 
105:026,25['  ]| the comfort$0$ of her children, had she consulted only her 
105:026,26['  ]| own$2$ wishes$0$, she would have kept it; but the discretion 
105:026,27['  ]| of $SS#A$Elinor prevailed.  \Her\ wisdom too$5#2$ limited the number 
105:026,28['  ]| of their servants to$4$ three; two maids and a man, with 
105:026,29['  ]| whom$6#1$ they were speedily provided from amongst those 
105:026,30['  ]| who$6#1$ had formed their establishment at Norland. 
105:026,31['  ]| The man and one of the maids were sent off immediately 
105:026,32['  ]| into Devonshire, to$9$ prepare the house for$4$ their 
105:026,33['  ]| mistress's arrival; for$3$ as $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was entirely 
105:026,34['  ]| unknown to$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, she preferred going directly 
105:026,35['  ]| to$4$ the cottage to$4$ being$1$ a visitor at Barton*Park; and 
105:026,36['  ]| she relied so$5#1$ undoubtingly on$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John's description 
105:026,37['  ]| of the house, as to$9$ feel no$2$ curiosity to$9$ examine it herself 
105:026,38['  ]| till she entered it as her own$2$.  Her eagerness to$9$ be gone 
105:027,01['  ]| from Norland was preserved from diminution by$4$ the 
105:027,02['  ]| evident satisfaction of her daughter-in-law in$4$ the prospect 
105:027,03['  ]| of her removal; a satisfaction which$6#1$ was but feebly 
105:027,04['  ]| attempted to$9$ be concealed under a cold$2$ invitation to$4$ 
105:027,05['  ]| her to$9$ defer her departure.  Now was the time when her 
105:027,06['  ]| son-in-law's promise$0$ to$4$ his father might with particular 
105:027,07['  ]| propriety be fulfilled.  Since he had neglected to$9$ do it 
105:027,08['  ]| on$4$ first coming to$4$ the estate, their quitting his house 
105:027,09['  ]| might be looked on$5$ as the most suitable period for$4$ its 
105:027,10['  ]| accomplishment.  But $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood began shortly 
105:027,11['  ]| to$9$ give over every hope$0$ of the kind$0$, and to$9$ be convinced, 
105:027,12['  ]| from the general$2$ drift of his discourse, that$3$ his assistance 
105:027,13['  ]| extended no$2$ farther than their maintenance for$4$ six 
105:027,14['  ]| months at Norland.  He so$5#1$ frequently talked of the 
105:027,15['  ]| increasing expenses of housekeeping, and of the perpetual 
105:027,16['  ]| demands$0$ upon$4$ his purse, which$6#1$ a man of any consequence 
105:027,17['  ]| in$4$ the world was beyond$4$ calculation exposed to$4$, that$3$ he 
105:027,18['  ]| seemed rather to$9$ stand$1$ in$4$ need$0$ of more money himself 
105:027,19['  ]| than to$9$ have any design$0$ of giving money away. 
105:027,20['  ]| In$4$ a very few weeks from the day which$6#1$ brought 
105:027,21['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John*Middleton's first letter to$4$ Norland, every*thing 
105:027,22['  ]| was so$5#1$ far settled in$4$ their future abode as to$9$ enable 
105:027,23['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood and her daughters to$9$ begin their journey. 
105:027,24['  ]| Many were the tears shed by$4$ them in$4$ their last$2$ adieus 
105:027,25['  ]| to$4$ a place$0$ so$5#1$ much beloved. 
105:027,25[C  ]| "Dear$2#1$, dear$2#1$ Norland!" 
105:027,26['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, as she wandered alone before$4$ the house, 
105:027,27['  ]| on$4$ the last$2$ evening of their being$1$ there; 
105:027,27[C  ]| "when shall 
105:027,28[C  ]| I cease to$9$ regret$1$ you! ~~ when learn to$9$ feel a home 
105:027,29[C  ]| elsewhere! ~~ Oh! happy house, could you know what 
105:027,30[C  ]| I suffer in$4$ now viewing you from this spot, from whence 
105:027,31[C  ]| perhaps I may$1$ view$1$ you no$2$ more! ~~ And you, ye well-known 
105:027,32[C  ]| trees! ~~ but you will$1$ continue the same. ~~ No$2$ 
105:027,33[C  ]| leaf will$1$ decay because we are removed, nor any branch 
105:027,34[C  ]| become motionless although we can observe you no$2$ 
105:027,35[C  ]| longer! ~~ No$7$; you will$1$ continue the same; unconscious 
105:027,36[C  ]| of the pleasure or the regret$0$ you occasion$1$, and insensible 
105:027,37[C  ]| of any change$0$ in$4$ those who$6#1$ walk$1$ under your shade! ~~ 
105:027,38[C  ]| But who$6#2$ will$1$ remain to$9$ enjoy you?" 
106:028,01['  ]| The first part$0$ of their journey was performed in$4$ too$5#1$ 
106:028,02['  ]| melancholy$2$ a disposition to$9$ be otherwise than tedious 
106:028,03['  ]| and unpleasant.  But as they drew towards the end$0$ of 
106:028,04['  ]| it, their interest$0$ in$4$ the appearance of a country which$6#1$ 
106:028,05['  ]| they were to$9$ inhabit overcame their dejection, and 
106:028,06['  ]| a view$0$ of Barton*Valley as they entered it gave them 
106:028,07['  ]| cheerfulness.  It was a pleasant fertile spot, well$5$ wooded, 
106:028,08['  ]| and rich in$4$ pasture.  After$4$ winding along$4$ it for$4$ more 
106:028,09['  ]| than a mile, they reached their own$2$ house.  A small 
106:028,10['  ]| green court$0$ was the whole$0$ of its demesne in$4$ front$0$; and 
106:028,11['  ]| a neat wicket gate admitted them into it. 
106:028,12['  ]| As a house, Barton*Cottage, though small, was comfortable 
106:028,13['  ]| and compact; but as a cottage it was defective, 
106:028,14['  ]| for$3$ the building was regular, the roof was tiled, the 
106:028,15['  ]| window shutters were not painted green, nor were the 
106:028,16['  ]| walls covered with honeysuckles.  A narrow passage 
106:028,17['  ]| led directly through$4$ the house into the garden behind. 
106:028,18['  ]| On$4$ each side$0$ of the entrance was a sitting*room, about$4$ 
106:028,19['  ]| sixteen feet square; and beyond$4$ them were the offices 
106:028,20['  ]| and the stairs.  Four bed-rooms and two garrets formed 
106:028,21['  ]| the rest$0#1$ of the house.  It had not been built many 
106:028,22['  ]| years and was in$4$ good repair.  In$4$ comparison of Norland, 
106:028,23['  ]| it was poor and small indeed! ~~ but the tears which$6#1$ 
106:028,24['  ]| recollection called forth as they entered the house were 
106:028,25['  ]| soon dried away.  They were cheered by$4$ the joy of the 
106:028,26['  ]| servants on$4$ their arrival, and each for$4$ the sake of the 
106:028,27['  ]| others resolved to$9$ appear happy.  It was very early 
106:028,28['  ]| in$4$ September; the season was fine, and from first 
106:028,29['  ]| seeing the place$0$ under the advantage of good weather, 
106:028,30['  ]| they received an impression in$4$ its favour$0$ which$6#1$ was of 
106:028,31['  ]| material$2$ service in$4$ recommending it to$4$ their lasting 
106:028,32['  ]| approbation. 
106:028,33['  ]| The situation of the house was good.  High hills rose$1$ 
106:029,01['  ]| immediately behind, and at no$2$ great distance$0$ on$4$ each 
106:029,02['  ]| side$0$; some of which$6#1$ were open$2$ downs, the others 
106:029,03['  ]| cultivated and woody.  The village of Barton was chiefly 
106:029,04['  ]| on$4$ one of these hills, and formed a pleasant view$0$ from 
106:029,05['  ]| the cottage windows.  The prospect in$4$ front$0$ was more 
106:029,06['  ]| extensive; it commanded the whole$0$ of the valley, and 
106:029,07['  ]| reached into the country beyond$5$.  The hills which$6#1$ 
106:029,08['  ]| surrounded the cottage terminated the valley in$4$ that$6#2$ 
106:029,09['  ]| direction; under another name$0$, and in$4$ another course$0$, 
106:029,10['  ]| it branched out$5$ again between two of the steepest of 
106:029,11['  ]| them. 
106:029,12['  ]| With the size and furniture of the house $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
106:029,13['  ]| was upon$4$ the whole$0$ well$5$ satisfied; for$3$ though her 
106:029,14['  ]| former style of life rendered many additions to$4$ the latter 
106:029,15['  ]| indispensable, yet to$9$ add and improve was a delight$0$ to$4$ 
106:029,16['  ]| her; and she had at this time ready money enough to$9$ 
106:029,17['  ]| supply$1$ all that$6#1$ was wanted of greater elegance to$4$ the 
106:029,18['  ]| apartments. 
106:029,18[D  ]| "As for$4$ the house itself, to$9$ be sure," 
106:029,19['  ]| said she, 
106:029,19[D  ]| "it is too$5#1$ small for$4$ our family, but we will$1$ 
106:029,20[D  ]| make$1$ ourselves tolerably comfortable for$4$ the present$0#1$, 
106:029,21[D  ]| as it is too$5#1$ late in$4$ the year for$4$ improvements.  Perhaps 
106:029,22[D  ]| in$4$ the spring$0$, if I have plenty of money, as I dare$1#2$ say 
106:029,23[D  ]| I shall, we may$1$ think about$4$ building.  These parlours 
106:029,24[D  ]| are both too$5#1$ small for$4$ such parties of our friends as I 
106:029,25[D  ]| hope$1$ to$9$ see often collected here; and I have some 
106:029,26[D  ]| thoughts of throwing the passage into one of them with 
106:029,27[D  ]| perhaps a part$0$ of the other, and so$3$ leave$1$ the remainder 
106:029,28[D  ]| of that$6#2$ other for$4$ an entrance; this, with a new drawing-room 
106:029,29[D  ]| which$6#1$ may$1$ be easily added, and a bed-chamber 
106:029,30[D  ]| and garret above$5$, will$1$ make$1$ it a very snug little cottage. 
106:029,31[D  ]| I could wish$1$ the stairs were handsome.  But one must 
106:029,32[D  ]| not expect every*thing; though I suppose it would be 
106:029,33[D  ]| no$2$ difficult matter to$9$ widen them.  I shall see how 
106:029,34[D  ]| much I am before-hand with the world in$4$ the spring$0$, 
106:029,35[D  ]| and we will$1$ plan our improvements accordingly." 
106:029,36['  ]| In$4$ the mean*time, till all these alterations could be 
106:029,37['  ]| made from the savings of an income of five hundred 
106:029,38['  ]| a-year by$4$ a woman who$6#1$ never saved in$4$ her life, they 
106:030,01['  ]| were wise enough to$9$ be contented with the house as it 
106:030,02['  ]| was; and each of them was busy in$4$ arranging their 
106:030,03['  ]| particular concerns$0$, and endeavouring, by$4$ placing 
106:030,04['  ]| around$4$ them their books and other possessions, to$9$ form$1$ 
106:030,05['  ]| themselves a home.  $SS#C$Marianne's pianoforte was unpacked 
106:030,06['  ]| and properly disposed of; and $SS#A$Elinor's drawings were 
106:030,07['  ]| affixed to$4$ the walls of their sitting*room. 
106:030,08['  ]| In$4$ such employments as these they were interrupted 
106:030,09['  ]| soon after$4$ breakfast$0$ the next day by$4$ the entrance of 
106:030,10['  ]| their landlord, who$6#1$ called to$9$ welcome$1$ them to$4$ Barton, 
106:030,11['  ]| and to$9$ offer$1$ them every accommodation from his own$2$ 
106:030,12['  ]| house and garden in$4$ which$6#1$ their's might at present$0#1$ be 
106:030,13['  ]| deficient.  $SS#L$Sir*John*Middleton was a good*looking man 
106:030,14['  ]| about$4$ forty.  He had formerly visited at Stanhill, but 
106:030,15['  ]| it was too$5#1$ long ago for$4$ his young cousins to$9$ remember 
106:030,16['  ]| him.  His countenance was thoroughly good-humoured; 
106:030,17['  ]| and his manners were as friendly as the style of his 
106:030,18['  ]| letter.  Their arrival seemed to$9$ afford him real satisfaction, 
106:030,19['  ]| and their comfort$0$ to$9$ be an object$0$ of real solicitude 
106:030,20['  ]| to$4$ him.  He said much of his earnest desire$0$ of their 
106:030,21['  ]| living in$4$ the most sociable terms with his family, and 
106:030,22['  ]| pressed them so$5#1$ cordially to$9$ dine at Barton*Park every 
106:030,23['  ]| day till they were better settled at home, that$3$, though 
106:030,24['  ]| his entreaties were carried to$4$ a point$0$ of perseverance 
106:030,25['  ]| beyond$4$ civility, they could not give offence.  His kindness 
106:030,26['  ]| was not confined to$4$ words; for$3$ within an hour after$3$ 
106:030,27['  ]| he left them, a large basket full of garden stuff and fruit 
106:030,28['  ]| arrived from the park, which$6#1$ was followed before$4$ the end$0$ 
106:030,29['  ]| of the day by$4$ a present$0#2$ of game.  He insisted moreover 
106:030,30['  ]| on$4$ conveying all their letters to$4$ and from the post for$4$ 
106:030,31['  ]| them, and would not be denied the satisfaction of sending 
106:030,32['  ]| them his newspaper every day. 
106:030,33['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton had sent a very civil message by$4$ him, 
106:030,34['  ]| denoting her intention of waiting on$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
106:030,35['  ]| as soon as she could be assured that$3$ her visit$0$ would be 
106:030,36['  ]| no$2$ inconvenience; and as this message was answered 
106:030,37['  ]| by$4$ an invitation equally polite, her ladyship was introduced 
106:030,38['  ]| to$4$ them the next day. 
106:031,01['  ]| They were of course$8$ very anxious to$9$ see a person on$4$ 
106:031,02['  ]| whom$6#1$ so$5#1$ much of their comfort$0$ at Barton must depend; 
106:031,03['  ]| and the elegance of her appearance was favourable to$4$ 
106:031,04['  ]| their wishes$0$.  $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was not more than six 
106:031,05['  ]| or seven*and*twenty; her face$0$ was handsome, her 
106:031,06['  ]| figure tall and striking, and her address$0$ graceful.  Her 
106:031,07['  ]| manners had all the elegance which$6#1$ her husband's 
106:031,08['  ]| wanted.  But they would have been improved by$4$ some 
106:031,09['  ]| share$0$ of his frankness and warmth; and her visit$0$ was 
106:031,10['  ]| long enough to$9$ detract something from their first 
106:031,11['  ]| admiration, by$4$ shewing that$3$ though perfectly well-bred, 
106:031,12['  ]| she was reserved, cold$2$, and had nothing to$9$ say for$4$ herself 
106:031,13['  ]| beyond$4$ the most common-place inquiry or remark$0$. 
106:031,14['  ]| Conversation however was not wanted, for$3$ $SS#L$Sir*John 
106:031,15['  ]| was very chatty, and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton had taken the 
106:031,16['  ]| wise precaution of bringing with her their eldest child, 
106:031,17['  ]| a fine little boy about$4$ six years old, by$4$ which$6#1$ means$0$ 
106:031,18['  ]| there was one subject$0$ always to$9$ be recurred to$4$ by$4$ the 
106:031,19['  ]| ladies in$4$ case of extremity, for$3$ they had to$9$ inquire his 
106:031,20['  ]| name$0$ and age, admire his beauty, and ask him questions 
106:031,21['  ]| which$6#1$ his mother answered for$4$ him, while$3$ he hung 
106:031,22['  ]| about$4$ her and held down$5$ his head$0$, to$4$ the great surprise$0$ 
106:031,23['  ]| of her ladyship, who$6#1$ 
106:031,23@j   | wondered at his being$1$ so$5#1$ shy before$4$ 
106:031,24@j   | company as he could make$1$ noise enough at home. 
106:031,24['  ]| On$4$ 
106:031,25['  ]| every formal visit$0$ a child ought to$9$ be of the party, by$4$ 
106:031,26['  ]| way of provision for$4$ discourse.  In$4$ the present$2$ case it 
106:031,27['  ]| took up$5$ ten minutes to$9$ determine whether the boy were 
106:031,28['  ]| most like$4$ his father or mother, and in$4$ what particular he 
106:031,29['  ]| resembled either, for$3$ of course$8$ every*body differed, and 
106:031,30['  ]| every*body was astonished at the opinion of the others. 
106:031,31['  ]| An opportunity was soon to$9$ be given to$4$ the $SS#D1$Dashwoods 
106:031,32['  ]| of debating on$4$ the rest$0#1$ of the children, as $SS#L$Sir*John 
106:031,33['  ]| would not leave$1$ the house without securing their promise$0$ 
106:031,34['  ]| of dining at the park the next day. 
107:032,01['  ]| Barton*Park was about$4$ half a mile from the cottage. 
107:032,02['  ]| The ladies had passed near$4$ it in$4$ their way along$4$ the 
107:032,03['  ]| valley, but it was screened from their view$0$ at home by$4$ 
107:032,04['  ]| the projection of an hill.  The house was large and 
107:032,05['  ]| handsome; and the $SS#L1$Middletons lived in$4$ a style of equal$2$ 
107:032,06['  ]| hospitality and elegance.  The former was for$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John's 
107:032,07['  ]| gratification, the latter for$4$ that$6#2$ of his lady.  They were 
107:032,08['  ]| scarcely ever without some friends staying with them 
107:032,09['  ]| in$4$ the house, and they kept more company of every 
107:032,10['  ]| kind$0$ than any other family in$4$ the neighbourhood.  It 
107:032,11['  ]| was necessary to$4$ the happiness of both; for$3$ however 
107:032,12['  ]| dissimilar in$4$ temper and outward behaviour, they 
107:032,13['  ]| strongly resembled each other in$4$ that$6#2$ total want$0$ of 
107:032,14['  ]| talent and taste which$6#1$ confined their employments, 
107:032,15['  ]| unconnected with such as society produced, within 
107:032,16['  ]| a very narrow compass.  $SS#L$Sir*John was a sportsman, 
107:032,17['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton a mother.  He hunted and shot, and 
107:032,18['  ]| she humoured her children; and these were their only 
107:032,19['  ]| resources.  $SS#M$Lady*Middleton had the advantage of being$1$ 
107:032,20['  ]| able to$9$ spoil her children all the year round$5$, while$3$ 
107:032,21['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John's independent employments were in$4$ existence 
107:032,22['  ]| only half the time.  Continual engagements at home and 
107:032,23['  ]| abroad, however, supplied all the deficiencies of nature 
107:032,24['  ]| and education; supported the good spirits of $SS#L$Sir*John, 
107:032,25['  ]| and gave exercise$0$ to$4$ the good-breeding of his wife. 
107:032,26['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton piqued herself upon$4$ the elegance of 
107:032,27['  ]| her table, and of all her domestic$2$ arrangements; and 
107:032,28['  ]| from this kind$0$ of vanity was her greatest enjoyment in$4$ 
107:032,29['  ]| any of their parties.  But $SS#L$Sir*John's satisfaction in$4$ 
107:032,30['  ]| society was much more real; he delighted in$4$ collecting 
107:032,31['  ]| about$4$ him more young people than his house would 
107:032,32['  ]| hold$1$, and the noisier they were the better was he pleased. 
107:032,33['  ]| He was a blessing to$4$ all the juvenile part$0$ of the neighbourhood, 
107:033,01['  ]| for$3$ in$4$ summer he was for*ever forming parties 
107:033,02['  ]| to$9$ eat cold$2$ ham and chicken out$5$ of doors, and in$4$ winter 
107:033,03['  ]| his private$2$ balls were numerous enough for$4$ any young 
107:033,04['  ]| lady who$6#1$ was not suffering under the insatiable appetite 
107:033,05['  ]| of fifteen. 
107:033,06['  ]| The arrival of a new family in$4$ the country was always 
107:033,07['  ]| a matter of joy to$4$ him, and in$4$ every point$0$ of view$0$ he 
107:033,08['  ]| was charmed with the inhabitants he had now procured 
107:033,09['  ]| for$4$ his cottage at Barton.  The $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods were 
107:033,10['  ]| young, pretty$2$, and unaffected.  It was enough to$9$ secure$1$ 
107:033,11['  ]| his good opinion; for$3$ 
107:033,11@l   | to$9$ be unaffected was all that$6#1$ a 
107:033,12@l   | pretty$2$ girl could want$1$ to$9$ make$1$ her mind$0$ as captivating 
107:033,13@l   | as her person.  
107:033,13['  ]| The friendliness of his disposition made 
107:033,14['  ]| him happy in$4$ accommodating those, whose$6#1$ situation 
107:033,15['  ]| might be considered, in$4$ comparison with the past$0$, as 
107:033,16['  ]| unfortunate.  In$4$ shewing kindness to$4$ his cousins 
107:033,17['  ]| therefore he had the real satisfaction of a good heart; 
107:033,18['  ]| and in$4$ settling a family of females only in$4$ his cottage, 
107:033,19['  ]| he had all the satisfaction of a sportsman; for$3$ a sportsman, 
107:033,20['  ]| though he esteems only those of his sex who$6#1$ are 
107:033,21['  ]| sportsmen likewise, is not often desirous of encouraging 
107:033,22['  ]| their taste by$4$ admitting them to$4$ a residence within 
107:033,23['  ]| his own$2$ manor. 
107:033,24['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood and her daughters were met at the 
107:033,25['  ]| door of the house by$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John, who$6#1$ welcomed them to$4$ 
107:033,26['  ]| Barton*Park with unaffected sincerity; and as he 
107:033,27['  ]| attended them to$4$ the drawing*room repeated to$4$ the 
107:033,28['  ]| young ladies the concern$0$ which$6#1$ the same subject$0$ had 
107:033,29['  ]| drawn from him the day before$5$, at being$1$ unable to$9$ 
107:033,30['  ]| get any smart young men to$9$ meet$1$ them. 
107:033,30@l   | They would 
107:033,31@l   | see, 
107:033,31['  ]| he said, 
107:033,31@l   | only one gentleman there besides himself; 
107:033,32@l   | a particular friend who$6#1$ was staying at the park, but who$6#1$ 
107:033,33@l   | was neither very young nor very gay.  He hoped they 
107:033,34@l   | would all excuse$1$ the smallness of the party, and could 
107:033,35@l   | assure them it should never happen so$5#2$ again.  He had 
107:033,36@l   | been to$4$ several families that$6#2$ morning in$4$ hopes$0$ of 
107:033,37@l   | procuring some addition to$4$ their number, but it was 
107:033,38@l   | moonlight and every*body was full of engagements. 
107:034,01@l   | Luckily $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's mother had arrived at Barton 
107:034,02@l   | within the last$2$ hour, and as she was a very cheerful agreeable 
107:034,03@l   | woman, he hoped the young ladies would not find it 
107:034,04@l   | so$5#1$ very dull as they might imagine. 
107:034,04['  ]| The young ladies, as 
107:034,05['  ]| well$5$ as their mother, were perfectly satisfied with having 
107:034,06['  ]| two entire strangers of the party, and wished for$4$ no$2$ more. 
107:034,07['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's mother, was a good-humoured, 
107:034,08['  ]| merry, fat, elderly woman, who$6#1$ talked a great 
107:034,09['  ]| deal$0$, seemed very happy, and rather vulgar.  She was 
107:034,10['  ]| full of jokes and laughter, and before$3$ dinner was over 
107:034,11['  ]| had said many witty things on$4$ the subject$0$ of lovers and 
107:034,12['  ]| husbands; hoped they had not left their hearts behind 
107:034,13['  ]| them in$4$ Sussex, and pretended to$9$ see them blush$1$ 
107:034,14['  ]| whether they did or not.  $SS#C$Marianne was vexed at it 
107:034,15['  ]| for$4$ her sister's sake, and turned her eyes towards $SS#A$Elinor 
107:034,16['  ]| to$9$ see how she bore$1#1$ these attacks, with an earnestness 
107:034,17['  ]| which$6#1$ gave $SS#A$Elinor far more pain$0$ than could arise from 
107:034,18['  ]| such common-place raillery as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's. 
107:034,19['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, the friend of $SS#L$Sir*John, seemed no$2$ 
107:034,20['  ]| more adapted by$4$ resemblance of manner to$9$ be his 
107:034,21['  ]| friend, than $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was to$9$ be his wife, or 
107:034,22['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings to$9$ be $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's mother.  He was 
107:034,23['  ]| silent and grave$2$.  His appearance however was not 
107:034,24['  ]| unpleasing, in$4$ spite$8$ of his being$1$ in$4$ the opinion of $SS#C$Marianne 
107:034,25['  ]| and $SS#E$Margaret an absolute old bachelor, for$3$ he was on$4$ 
107:034,26['  ]| the wrong side$0$ of five*and*thirty; but though his face$0$ 
107:034,27['  ]| was not handsome his countenance was sensible$2#2$, and 
107:034,28['  ]| his address$0$ was particularly gentlemanlike. 
107:034,29['  ]| There was nothing in$4$ any of the party which$6#1$ could 
107:034,30['  ]| recommend them as companions to$4$ the $SS#D1$Dashwoods; 
107:034,31['  ]| but the cold$2$ insipidity of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was so$5#1$ 
107:034,32['  ]| particularly repulsive, that$3$ in$4$ comparison of it the 
107:034,33['  ]| gravity of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, and even$5$ the boisterous 
107:034,34['  ]| mirth of $SS#L$Sir*John and his mother-in-law was interesting. 
107:034,35['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton seemed to$9$ be roused to$4$ enjoyment only 
107:034,36['  ]| by$4$ the entrance of her four noisy children after$4$ dinner, 
107:034,37['  ]| who$6#1$ pulled her about$5$, tore her clothes, and put an end$0$ to$4$ 
107:034,38['  ]| every kind$0$ of discourse except what related to$4$ themselves. 
107:035,01['  ]| In$4$ the evening, as $SS#C$Marianne was discovered to$9$ be 
107:035,02['  ]| musical, she was invited to$9$ play$1$.  The instrument was 
107:035,03['  ]| unlocked, every*body prepared to$9$ be charmed, and 
107:035,04['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ sang very well$5$, at their request$0$ went 
107:035,05['  ]| through$4$ the chief of the songs which$6#1$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
107:035,06['  ]| had brought into the family on$4$ her marriage, and which$6#1$ 
107:035,07['  ]| perhaps had lain ever since in$4$ the same position on$4$ the 
107:035,08['  ]| pianoforte=, for$3$ her ladyship had celebrated that$6#2$ event 
107:035,09['  ]| by$4$ giving up$5$ music, although by$4$ her mother's account$0$ 
107:035,10['  ]| she had played extremely well$5$, and by$4$ her own$2$ was 
107:035,11['  ]| very fond of it. 
107:035,12['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's performance was highly applauded.  $SS#L$Sir*John 
107:035,13['  ]| was loud in$4$ his admiration at the end$0$ of every 
107:035,14['  ]| song, and as loud in$4$ his conversation with the others 
107:035,15['  ]| while$3$ every song lasted.  $SS#M$Lady*Middleton frequently 
107:035,16['  ]| called him to$4$ order, wondered how any*one's attention 
107:035,17['  ]| could be diverted from music for$4$ a moment, and asked 
107:035,18['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ sing a particular song which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne 
107:035,19['  ]| had just$5$ finished.  $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon alone, of all the 
107:035,20['  ]| party, heard her without being$1$ in$4$ raptures.  He paid 
107:035,21['  ]| her only the compliment$0$ of attention; and she felt 
107:035,22['  ]| a respect$0$ for$4$ him on$4$ the occasion$0$, which$6#1$ the others had 
107:035,23['  ]| reasonably forfeited by$4$ their shameless want$0$ of taste. 
107:035,24['  ]| His pleasure in$4$ music, though it amounted not to$4$ that$6#2$ 
107:035,25['  ]| extatic delight$0$ which$6#1$ alone could sympathize with her 
107:035,26['  ]| own$2$, was estimable when contrasted against the horrible 
107:035,27['  ]| insensibility of the others; and she was reasonable 
107:035,28['  ]| enough to$9$ allow that$3$ a man of five*and*thirty might well$5$ 
107:035,29['  ]| have outlived all acuteness of feeling and every exquisite 
107:035,30['  ]| power of enjoyment.  She was perfectly disposed to$9$ 
107:035,31['  ]| make$1$ every allowance for$4$ the $SS#H$colonel's advanced state$0$ 
107:035,32['  ]| of life which$6#1$ humanity required. 
108:036,01['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was a widow, with an ample jointure. 
108:036,02['  ]| She had only two daughters, both of whom$6#1$ she had 
108:036,03['  ]| lived to$9$ see respectably married, and she had now 
108:036,04['  ]| therefore nothing to$9$ do but marry all the rest$0#1$ of the 
108:036,05['  ]| world.  In$4$ the promotion of this object$0$ she was zealously 
108:036,06['  ]| active, as far as her ability reached; and missed no$2$ 
108:036,07['  ]| opportunity of projecting weddings among all the young 
108:036,08['  ]| people of her acquaintance.  She was remarkably quick$2$ 
108:036,09['  ]| in$4$ the discovery of attachments, and had enjoyed the 
108:036,10['  ]| advantage of raising the blushes and the vanity of many 
108:036,11['  ]| a young lady by$4$ insinuations of her power over such 
108:036,12['  ]| a young man; and this kind$0$ of discernment enabled 
108:036,13['  ]| her soon after$4$ her arrival at Barton decisively to$9$ pronounce 
108:036,14['  ]| that$3$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon was very much in$4$ love$0$ 
108:036,15['  ]| with $SS#C$Marianne*Dashwood.  She rather suspected it to$9$ 
108:036,16['  ]| be so$5#2$, on$4$ the very first evening of their being$1$ together, 
108:036,17['  ]| from his listening so$5#1$ attentively while$3$ she sang to$4$ them; 
108:036,18['  ]| and when the visit$0$ was returned by$4$ the $SS#L1$Middletons' 
108:036,19['  ]| dining at the cottage, the fact was ascertained by$4$ his 
108:036,20['  ]| listening to$4$ her again.  
108:036,20@k   | It must be so$5#2$.  
108:036,20['  ]| She was perfectly 
108:036,21['  ]| convinced of it.  
108:036,21@k   | It would be an excellent match$0$, for$3$ 
108:036,22@k   | \he\ was rich and \she\ was handsome.  
108:036,22['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings had 
108:036,23['  ]| been anxious to$9$ see $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon well$5$ married, ever 
108:036,24['  ]| since her connection with $SS#L$Sir*John first brought him 
108:036,25['  ]| to$4$ her knowledge; and she was always anxious to$9$ get 
108:036,26['  ]| a good husband for$4$ every pretty$2$ girl. 
108:036,27['  ]| The immediate advantage to$4$ herself was by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ 
108:036,28['  ]| inconsiderable, for$3$ it supplied her with endless jokes 
108:036,29['  ]| against them both.  At the park she laughed at the 
108:036,30['  ]| $SS#H$colonel, and in$4$ the cottage at $SS#C$Marianne.  To$4$ the former 
108:036,31['  ]| her raillery was probably, as far as it regarded only 
108:036,32['  ]| himself, perfectly indifferent; but to$4$ the latter it was 
108:036,33['  ]| at first incomprehensible; and when its object$0$ was 
108:037,01['  ]| understood, she hardly knew whether most to$9$ laugh$1$ 
108:037,02['  ]| at its absurdity, or censure$0$ its impertinence, for$3$ she 
108:037,03['  ]| considered it as an unfeeling reflection on$4$ the $SS#H$colonel's 
108:037,04['  ]| advanced years, and on$4$ his forlorn condition$0$ as an old 
108:037,05['  ]| bachelor. 
108:037,06['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, who$6#1$ could not think a man five years 
108:037,07['  ]| younger than herself, so$5#1$ exceedingly ancient as he 
108:037,08['  ]| appeared to$4$ the youthful fancy$0$ of her daughter, ventured 
108:037,09['  ]| to$9$ clear$1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings from the probability of wishing 
108:037,10['  ]| to$9$ throw$1$ ridicule$0#1$ on$4$ his age. 
108:037,11[C  ]| "But at least, mama, you cannot deny the absurdity 
108:037,12[C  ]| of the accusation, though you may$1$ not think it intentionally 
108:037,13[C  ]| ill-natured.  $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon is certainly 
108:037,14[C  ]| younger than $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, but he is old enough to$9$ 
108:037,15[C  ]| be \my\ father; and if he were ever animated enough to$9$ 
108:037,16[C  ]| be in$4$ love$0$, must have long outlived every sensation$0#1$ of 
108:037,17[C  ]| the kind$0$.  It is too$5#1$ ridiculous!  When is a man to$9$ be 
108:037,18[C  ]| safe from such wit, if age and infirmity will$1$ not protect 
108:037,19[C  ]| him?" 
108:037,20[A  ]| "Infirmity!" 
108:037,20['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
108:037,20[A  ]| "do you call$1$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
108:037,21[A  ]| infirm?  I can easily suppose that$3$ his age may$1$ 
108:037,22[A  ]| appear much greater to$4$ you than to$4$ my mother; but 
108:037,23[A  ]| you can hardly deceive yourself as to$4$ his having the 
108:037,24[A  ]| use$0$ of his limbs!" 
108:037,25[C  ]| "Did not you hear him complain of the rheumatism? 
108:037,26[C  ]| and is not that$6#2$ the commonest infirmity of declining 
108:037,27[C  ]| life?" 
108:037,28[D  ]| "My dearest child," 
108:037,28['  ]| said her mother laughing, 
108:037,28[D  ]| "at 
108:037,29[D  ]| this rate$0$ you must be in$4$ continual terror of \my\ decay; 
108:037,30[D  ]| and it must seem to$4$ you a miracle that$3$ my life has 
108:037,31[D  ]| been extended to$4$ the advanced age of forty." 
108:037,32[C  ]| "Mama, you are not doing me justice.  I know very 
108:037,33[C  ]| well$5$ that$3$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon is not old enough to$9$ make$1$ 
108:037,34[C  ]| his friends yet apprehensive of losing him in$4$ the course$0$ 
108:037,35[C  ]| of nature.  He may$1$ live twenty years longer.  But thirty-five 
108:037,36[C  ]| has nothing to$9$ do with matrimony." 
108:037,37[A  ]| "Perhaps," 
108:037,37['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
108:037,37[A  ]| "thirty-five and seventeen 
108:037,38[A  ]| had better not have any*thing to$9$ do with matrimony 
108:038,01[A  ]| together.  But if there should by$4$ any chance$0$ happen 
108:038,02[A  ]| to$9$ be a woman who$6#1$ is single at seven*and*twenty, I 
108:038,03[A  ]| should not think $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's being$1$ thirty-five 
108:038,04[A  ]| any objection to$4$ his marrying \her\." 
108:038,05[C  ]| "A woman of seven*and*twenty," 
108:038,05['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
108:038,06['  ]| after$4$ pausing a moment, 
108:038,06[C  ]| "can never hope$1$ to$9$ feel or 
108:038,07[C  ]| inspire affection again, and if her home be uncomfortable, 
108:038,08[C  ]| or her fortune small, I can suppose that$3$ she might bring 
108:038,09[C  ]| herself to$9$ submit to$4$ the offices of a nurse$0$, for$4$ the sake 
108:038,10[C  ]| of the provision and security of a wife.  In$4$ his marrying 
108:038,11[C  ]| such a woman therefore there would be nothing unsuitable. 
108:038,12[C  ]| It would be a compact of convenience, and the 
108:038,13[C  ]| world would be satisfied.  In$4$ my eyes it would be no$2$ 
108:038,14[C  ]| marriage at all, but that$6#2$ would be nothing.  To$4$ me it 
108:038,15[C  ]| would seem only a commercial exchange$0$, in$4$ which$6#1$ each 
108:038,16[C  ]| wished to$9$ be benefited at the expense of the other." 
108:038,17[A  ]| "It would be impossible, I know," 
108:038,17['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
108:038,18[A  ]| "to$9$ convince you that$3$ a woman of seven*and*twenty 
108:038,19[A  ]| could feel for$4$ a man of thirty-five any*thing near$5$ enough 
108:038,20[A  ]| to$4$ love$0$, to$9$ make$1$ him a desirable companion to$4$ her.  But 
108:038,21[A  ]| I must object$1$ to$4$ your dooming $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon and 
108:038,22[A  ]| his wife to$4$ the constant confinement of a sick*chamber, 
108:038,23[A  ]| merely because he chanced to$9$ complain yesterday (a 
108:038,24[A  ]| very cold$2$ damp$2$ day) of a slight$2$ rheumatic feel in$4$ one 
108:038,25[A  ]| of his shoulders." 
108:038,26[C  ]| "But he talked of flannel waistcoats," 
108:038,26['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne; 
108:038,27[C  ]| "and with me a flannel waistcoat is invariably connected 
108:038,28[C  ]| with the aches, cramps, rheumatisms, and every 
108:038,29[C  ]| species of ailment that$3$ can afflict the old and the feeble." 
108:038,30[A  ]| "Had he been only in$4$ a violent fever, you would not 
108:038,31[A  ]| have despised him half so$5#1$ much.  Confess, $SS#C$Marianne, 
108:038,32[A  ]| is not there something interesting to$4$ you in$4$ the flushed 
108:038,33[A  ]| cheek, hollow eye, and quick$2$ pulse of a fever?" 
108:038,34['  ]| Soon after$4$ this, upon$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's leaving the room, 
108:038,35[C  ]| "Mama," 
108:038,35['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
108:038,35[C  ]| "I have an alarm$0$ on$4$ the 
108:038,36[C  ]| subject$0$ of illness, which$6#1$ I cannot conceal from you. 
108:038,37[C  ]| I am sure $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars is not well$5$.  We have now 
108:038,38[C  ]| been here almost a fortnight, and yet he does not come. 
108:039,01[C  ]| Nothing but real indisposition could occasion$1$ this 
108:039,02[C  ]| extraordinary delay$0$.  What else can detain him at 
108:039,03[C  ]| Norland?" 
108:039,04[D  ]| "Had you any idea of his coming so$5#1$ soon?" 
108:039,04['  ]| said 
108:039,05['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood. 
108:039,05[D  ]| "\I\ had none.  On$4$ the contrary, if 
108:039,06[D  ]| I have felt any anxiety at all on$4$ the subject$0$, it has been 
108:039,07[D  ]| in$4$ recollecting that$3$ he sometimes shewed a want$0$ of 
108:039,08[D  ]| pleasure and readiness in$4$ accepting my invitation, when 
108:039,09[D  ]| I talked of his coming to$4$ Barton.  Does $SS#A$Elinor expect 
108:039,10[D  ]| him already?" 
108:039,11[C  ]| "I have never mentioned it to$4$ her, but of course$8$ 
108:039,12[C  ]| she must." 
108:039,13[D  ]| "I rather think you are mistaken, for$3$ when I was 
108:039,14[D  ]| talking to$4$ her yesterday of getting a new grate for$4$ the 
108:039,15[D  ]| spare$2$ bedchamber, she observed that$3$ there was no$2$ 
108:039,16[D  ]| immediate hurry$0$ for$4$ it, as it was not likely that$3$ the 
108:039,17[D  ]| room would be wanted for$4$ some time." 
108:039,18[C  ]| "How strange this is!  what can be the meaning of 
108:039,19[C  ]| it!  But the whole$0$ of their behaviour to$4$ each other has 
108:039,20[C  ]| been unaccountable!  How cold$2$, how composed were 
108:039,21[C  ]| their last$2$ adieus!  How languid their conversation the 
108:039,22[C  ]| last$2$ evening of their being$1$ together!  In$4$ $SS#B$Edward's 
108:039,23[C  ]| farewell there was no$2$ distinction between $SS#A$Elinor and 
108:039,24[C  ]| me:  it was the good wishes$0$ of an affectionate brother 
108:039,25[C  ]| to$4$ both.  Twice did I leave$1$ them purposely together 
108:039,26[C  ]| in$4$ the course$0$ of the morning, and each time did he 
108:039,27[C  ]| most unaccountably follow me out$5$ of the room.  And 
108:039,28[C  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, in$4$ quitting Norland and $SS#B$Edward, cried not as 
108:039,29[C  ]| I did.  Even$5$ now her self-command is invariable.  When 
108:039,30[C  ]| is she dejected or melancholy$2$?  When does she try to$9$ 
108:039,31[C  ]| avoid society, or appear restless and dissatisfied in$4$ it?" 
109:040,01['  ]| The $SS#D1$Dashwoods were now settled at Barton with 
109:040,02['  ]| tolerable comfort$0$ to$4$ themselves.  The house and the 
109:040,03['  ]| garden, with all the objects$0$ surrounding them, were now 
109:040,04['  ]| become familiar, and the ordinary pursuits which$6#1$ had 
109:040,05['  ]| given to$4$ Norland half its charms, were engaged in$5$ again 
109:040,06['  ]| with far greater enjoyments than Norland had been able 
109:040,07['  ]| to$9$ afford, since the loss of their father.  $SS#L$Sir*John*Middleton, 
109:040,08['  ]| who$6#1$ called on$4$ them every day for$4$ the first 
109:040,09['  ]| fortnight, and who$6#1$ was not in$4$ the habit of seeing much 
109:040,10['  ]| occupation at home, could not conceal his amazement 
109:040,11['  ]| on$4$ finding them always employed. 
109:040,12['  ]| Their visitors, except those from Barton*Park, were 
109:040,13['  ]| not many; for$3$, in$4$ spite$8$ of $SS#L$Sir*John's urgent entreaties 
109:040,14['  ]| that$3$ they would mix more in$4$ the neighbourhood, and 
109:040,15['  ]| repeated assurances of his carriage being$1$ always at their 
109:040,16['  ]| service, the independence of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's spirit 
109:040,17['  ]| overcame the wish$0$ of society for$4$ her children; and she 
109:040,18['  ]| was resolute in$4$ declining to$9$ visit$1$ any family beyond$4$ the 
109:040,19['  ]| distance$0$ of a walk$0$.  There were but few who$6#1$ could be 
109:040,20['  ]| so$5#2$ classed; and it was not all of them that$6#1$ were attainable. 
109:040,21['  ]| About$4$ a mile and a half from the cottage, along$4$ 
109:040,22['  ]| the narrow winding valley of Allenham, which$6#1$ issued 
109:040,23['  ]| from that$6#2$ of Barton, as formerly described, the girls 
109:040,24['  ]| had, in$4$ one of their earliest walks$0$, discovered an ancient 
109:040,25['  ]| respectable looking mansion, which$6#1$, by$4$ reminding them 
109:040,26['  ]| a little of Norland, interested their imagination and made 
109:040,27['  ]| them wish$1$ to$9$ be better acquainted with it.  But they 
109:040,28['  ]| learnt, on$4$ inquiry, that$3$ its possessor, an elderly lady of 
109:040,29['  ]| very good character, was unfortunately too$5#1$ infirm to$9$ 
109:040,30['  ]| mix with the world, and never stirred from home. 
109:040,31['  ]| The whole$2$ country about$4$ them abounded in$4$ beautiful 
109:040,32['  ]| walks$0$.  The high downs which$6#1$ invited them from 
109:040,33['  ]| almost every window of the cottage to$9$ seek the exquisite 
109:041,01['  ]| enjoyment of air on$4$ their summits, were an happy 
109:041,02['  ]| alternative when the dirt of the valleys beneath shut 
109:041,03['  ]| up$5$ their superior beauties; and towards one of these 
109:041,04['  ]| hills did $SS#C$Marianne and $SS#E$Margaret one memorable morning 
109:041,05['  ]| direct$1$ their steps, attracted by$4$ the partial sunshine of 
109:041,06['  ]| a showery sky, and unable longer to$9$ bear$1$ the confinement 
109:041,07['  ]| which$6#1$ the settled rain$0$ of the two preceding days 
109:041,08['  ]| had occasioned.  The weather was not tempting enough 
109:041,09['  ]| to$9$ draw the two others from their pencil and their book, 
109:041,10['  ]| in$4$ spite$8$ of $SS#C$Marianne's declaration that$3$ the day would 
109:041,11['  ]| be lastingly fair, and that$3$ every threatening cloud$0$ 
109:041,12['  ]| would be drawn off from their hills; and the two girls 
109:041,13['  ]| set$1$ off together. 
109:041,14['  ]| They gaily ascended the downs, rejoicing in$4$ their own$2$ 
109:041,15['  ]| penetration at every glimpse of blue sky; and when 
109:041,16['  ]| they caught in$4$ their faces the animating gales of an 
109:041,17['  ]| high south-westerly wind, they pitied the fears which$6#1$ had 
109:041,18['  ]| prevented their mother and $SS#A$Elinor from sharing such 
109:041,19['  ]| delightful sensations. 
109:041,20[C  ]| "Is there a felicity in$4$ the world," 
109:041,20['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
109:041,21[C  ]| "superior to$4$ this? ~~ $SS#E$Margaret, we will$1$ walk$1$ here at 
109:041,22[C  ]| least two hours." 
109:041,23['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret agreed, and they pursued their way against 
109:041,24['  ]| the wind, resisting it with laughing delight$0$ for$4$ about$4$ 
109:041,25['  ]| twenty minutes longer, when suddenly the clouds 
109:041,26['  ]| united over their heads, and a driving rain$0$ set$1$ full in$4$ 
109:041,27['  ]| their face$0$. ~~ Chagrined and surprised, they were obliged, 
109:041,28['  ]| though unwillingly, to$9$ turn$1$ back$5$, for$3$ no$2$ shelter was 
109:041,29['  ]| nearer than their own$2$ house.  One consolation however 
109:041,30['  ]| remained for$4$ them, to$4$ which$6#1$ the exigence of the moment 
109:041,31['  ]| gave more than usual propriety; it was that$6#2$ of running 
109:041,32['  ]| with all possible speed down$4$ the steep side$0$ of the hill 
109:041,33['  ]| which$6#1$ led immediately to$4$ their garden gate. 
109:041,34['  ]| They set$1$ off.  $SS#C$Marianne had at first the advantage, 
109:041,35['  ]| but a false step$0$ brought her suddenly to$4$ the ground, 
109:041,36['  ]| and $SS#E$Margaret, unable to$9$ stop$1$ herself to$9$ assist her, was 
109:041,37['  ]| involuntarily hurried along$5$, and reached the bottom in$4$ 
109:041,38['  ]| safety. 
109:042,01['  ]| A gentleman carrying a gun, with two pointers playing 
109:042,02['  ]| round$4$ him, was passing up$4$ the hill and within a few 
109:042,03['  ]| yards of $SS#C$Marianne, when her accident happened.  He 
109:042,04['  ]| put down$5$ his gun and ran to$4$ her assistance.  She had 
109:042,05['  ]| raised herself from the ground, but her foot had been 
109:042,06['  ]| twisted in$4$ the fall$0$, and she was scarcely able to$9$ stand$1$. 
109:042,07['  ]| The gentleman offered his services, and perceiving that$3$ 
109:042,08['  ]| her modesty declined what her situation rendered 
109:042,09['  ]| necessary, took her up$5$ in$4$ his arms without farther 
109:042,10['  ]| delay$0$, and carried her down$4$ the hill.  Then passing 
109:042,11['  ]| through$4$ the garden, the gate of which$6#1$ had been left 
109:042,12['  ]| open$2$ by$4$ $SS#E$Margaret, he bore$1#1$ her directly into the house, 
109:042,13['  ]| whither $SS#E$Margaret was just$5$ arrived, and quitted not his 
109:042,14['  ]| hold$0$ till he had seated her in$4$ a chair in$4$ the parlour. 
109:042,15['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor and her mother rose$1$ up$5$ in$4$ amazement at their 
109:042,16['  ]| entrance, and while$3$ the eyes of both were fixed on$4$ him 
109:042,17['  ]| with an evident wonder$0$ and a secret$2$ admiration which$6#1$ 
109:042,18['  ]| equally sprung from his appearance, he apologized for$4$ 
109:042,19['  ]| his intrusion by$4$ relating its cause, in$4$ a manner so$5#1$ frank$2$ 
109:042,20['  ]| and so$5#1$ graceful, that$3$ his person, which$6#1$ was uncommonly 
109:042,21['  ]| handsome, received additional charms from his voice 
109:042,22['  ]| and expression.  Had he been even$5$ old, ugly, and vulgar, 
109:042,23['  ]| the gratitude and kindness of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood would 
109:042,24['  ]| have been secured by$4$ any act$0$ of attention to$4$ her child; 
109:042,25['  ]| but the influence$0$ of youth, beauty, and elegance, gave 
109:042,26['  ]| an interest$0$ to$4$ the action which$6#1$ came home to$4$ her 
109:042,27['  ]| feelings. 
109:042,28['  ]| She thanked him again and again; and with a sweetness 
109:042,29['  ]| of address$0$ which$6#1$ always attended her, invited him 
109:042,30['  ]| to$9$ be seated.  But this he declined, as he was dirty and 
109:042,31['  ]| wet$2$.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood then begged to$9$ know to$4$ whom$6#1$ 
109:042,32['  ]| she was obliged. 
109:042,32@r   | His name$0$, 
109:042,32['  ]| he replied, 
109:042,32@r   | was $SS#R$Willoughby, 
109:042,33@r   | and his present$2$ home was at Allenham, from whence 
109:042,34@r   | he hoped she would allow him the honour$0$ of calling 
109:042,35@r   | to-morrow to$9$ inquire after$4$ $SS#C$Miss*Dashwood. 
109:042,35['  ]| The honour$0$ 
109:042,36['  ]| was readily granted, and he then departed, to$9$ make$1$ 
109:042,37['  ]| himself still$5$ more interesting, in$4$ the midst of an heavy 
109:042,38['  ]| rain$0$. 
109:043,01['  ]| His manly beauty and more than common$2$ gracefulness 
109:043,02['  ]| were instantly the theme of general$2$ admiration, and the 
109:043,03['  ]| laugh$0$ which$6#1$ his gallantry raised against $SS#C$Marianne, 
109:043,04['  ]| received particular spirit from his exterior attractions. ~~ 
109:043,05['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne herself had seen less of his person than the 
109:043,06['  ]| rest$0#1$, for$4$ the confusion which$6#1$ crimsoned over her face$0$, 
109:043,07['  ]| on$4$ his lifting her up$5$, had robbed her of the power of 
109:043,08['  ]| regarding him after$4$ their entering the house.  But she 
109:043,09['  ]| had seen enough of him to$9$ join in$4$ all the admiration of 
109:043,10['  ]| the others, and with an energy which$6#1$ always adorned 
109:043,11['  ]| her praise$0$.  His person and air were equal$2$ to$4$ what her 
109:043,12['  ]| fancy$0$ had ever drawn for$4$ the hero of a favourite$2$ story; 
109:043,13['  ]| and in$4$ his carrying her into the house with so$5#1$ little 
109:043,14['  ]| previous formality, there was a rapidity of thought$0$ 
109:043,15['  ]| which$6#1$ particularly recommended the action to$4$ her. 
109:043,16['  ]| Every circumstance belonging to$4$ him was interesting. 
109:043,17['  ]| His name$0$ was good, his residence was in$4$ their favourite$2$ 
109:043,18['  ]| village, and she soon found out$5$ that$3$ of all manly dresses$0$ 
109:043,19['  ]| a shooting-jacket was the most becoming.  Her imagination 
109:043,20['  ]| was busy, her reflections were pleasant, and the 
109:043,21['  ]| pain$0$ of a sprained ancle was disregarded. 
109:043,22['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John called on$4$ them as soon as the next interval 
109:043,23['  ]| of fair weather that$6#2$ morning allowed him to$9$ get out$5$ of 
109:043,24['  ]| doors; and $SS#C$Marianne's accident being$1$ related to$4$ him, 
109:043,25['  ]| he was eagerly asked whether he knew any gentleman 
109:043,26['  ]| of the name$0$ of $SS#R$Willoughby at Allenham. 
109:043,27[L  ]| "$SS#R$Willoughby!" 
109:043,27['  ]| cried $SS#L$Sir*John; 
109:043,27[L  ]| "what, is \he\ in$4$ 
109:043,28[L  ]| the country?  That$6#2$ is good news however; I will$1$ ride$1$ 
109:043,29[L  ]| over to-morrow, and ask him to$4$ dinner on$4$ Thursday." 
109:043,30[D  ]| "You know him then," 
109:043,30['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood. 
109:043,31[L  ]| "Know him! to$9$ be sure I do.  Why, he is down$5$ here 
109:043,32[L  ]| every year." 
109:043,33[D  ]| "And what sort of a young man is he?" 
109:043,34[L  ]| "As good a kind$0$ of fellow as ever lived, I assure you. 
109:043,35[L  ]| A very decent shot, and there is not a bolder rider in$4$ 
109:043,36[L  ]| England." 
109:043,37[C  ]| "And is \that$6#2$\ all you can say for$4$ him?" 
109:043,37['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
109:043,38['  ]| indignantly. 
109:043,38[C  ]| "But what are his manners on$4$ 
109:044,01[C  ]| more intimate$2$ acquaintance?  What his pursuits, his 
109:044,02[C  ]| talents and genius?" 
109:044,03['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John was rather puzzled. 
109:044,04[L  ]| "Upon$4$ my soul," 
109:044,04['  ]| said he, 
109:044,04[L  ]| "I do not know much about$4$ 
109:044,05[L  ]| him as to$4$ all \that$6#2$\.  But he is a pleasant, good*humoured 
109:044,06[L  ]| fellow, and has got the nicest little black bitch of 
109:044,07[L  ]| a pointer I ever saw.  Was she out$5$ with him to-day?" 
109:044,08['  ]| But $SS#C$Marianne could no$2$ more satisfy him as to$4$ the 
109:044,09['  ]| colour of $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby's pointer, than he could describe 
109:044,10['  ]| to$4$ her the shades of his mind$0$. 
109:044,11[A  ]| "But who$6#2$ is he?" 
109:044,11['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
109:044,11[A  ]| "Where does he 
109:044,12[A  ]| come from?  Has he a house at Allenham?" 
109:044,13['  ]| On$4$ this point$0$ $SS#L$Sir*John could give more certain 
109:044,14['  ]| intelligence; and he told them that$3$ 
109:044,14@l   | $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby 
109:044,15@l   | had no$2$ property of his own$2$ in$4$ the country; that$3$ he 
109:044,16@l   | resided there only while$3$ he was visiting the old lady at 
109:044,17@l   | Allenham*Court, to$4$ whom$6#1$ he was related, and whose$6#1$ 
109:044,18@l   | possessions he was to$9$ inherit; 
109:044,18['  ]| adding, 
109:044,18[L  ]| "Yes, yes, he 
109:044,19[L  ]| is very well$5$ worth catching, I can tell you, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood; 
109:044,20[L  ]| he has a pretty$2$ little estate of his own$2$ in$4$ Somersetshire 
109:044,21[L  ]| besides; and if I were you, I would not give him 
109:044,22[L  ]| up$5$ to$4$ my younger sister in$4$ spite$8$ of all this tumbling 
109:044,23[L  ]| down$4$ hills.  $SS#C$Miss*Marianne must not expect to$9$ have all 
109:044,24[L  ]| the men to$4$ herself.  $SS#H$Brandon will$1$ be jealous, if she 
109:044,25[L  ]| does not take care$0$." 
109:044,26[D  ]| "I do not believe," 
109:044,26['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, with a good*humoured 
109:044,27['  ]| smile$0$, 
109:044,27[D  ]| "that$3$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby will$1$ be incommoded 
109:044,28[D  ]| by$4$ the attempts of either of \my\ daughters towards 
109:044,29[D  ]| what you call$1$ \catching\ \him\.  It is not an employment 
109:044,30[D  ]| to$4$ which$6#1$ they have been brought up$5$.  Men are very 
109:044,31[D  ]| safe with us, let them be ever so$5#1$ rich.  I am glad to$9$ find, 
109:044,32[D  ]| however, from what you say, that$3$ he is a respectable 
109:044,33[D  ]| young man, and one whose$6#1$ acquaintance will$1$ not be 
109:044,34[D  ]| ineligible." 
109:044,35[L  ]| "He is as good a sort of fellow, I believe, as ever 
109:044,36[L  ]| lived," 
109:044,36['  ]| repeated $SS#L$Sir*John. 
109:044,36[L  ]| "I remember last$2$ Christmas, 
109:044,37[L  ]| at a little hop at the park, he danced from eight o'clock 
109:044,38[L  ]| till four, without once sitting down$5$." 
109:045,01[C  ]| "Did he indeed?" 
109:045,01['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, with sparkling 
109:045,02['  ]| eyes, 
109:045,02[C  ]| "and with elegance, with spirit?" 
109:045,03[L  ]| "Yes; and he was up$5$ again at eight to$9$ ride$1$ to$4$ covert." 
109:045,04[C  ]| "That$6#2$ is what I like$1$; that$6#2$ is what a young man 
109:045,05[C  ]| ought to$9$ be.  Whatever be his pursuits, his eagerness 
109:045,06[C  ]| in$4$ them should know no$2$ moderation, and leave$1$ him no$2$ 
109:045,07[C  ]| sense of fatigue$0$." 
109:045,08[L  ]| "Aye, aye, I see how it will$1$ be," 
109:045,08['  ]| said $SS#L$Sir*John, 
109:045,09[L  ]| "I see how it will$1$ be.  You will$1$ be setting your cap at 
109:045,10[L  ]| him now, and never think of poor $SS#H$Brandon." 
109:045,11[C  ]| "That$6#2$ is an expression, $SS#L$Sir*John," 
109:045,11['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
109:045,12['  ]| warmly, 
109:045,12[C  ]| "which$6#1$ I particularly dislike$1$.  I abhor every 
109:045,13[C  ]| common-place phrase by$4$ which$6#1$ wit is intended; and 
109:045,14[C  ]| ""setting one's cap at a man,"" or ""making a conquest,"" 
109:045,15[C  ]| are the most odious of all.  Their tendency is gross and 
109:045,16[C  ]| illiberal; and if their construction could ever be deemed 
109:045,17[C  ]| clever, time has long ago destroyed all its ingenuity." 
109:045,18['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John did not much understand this reproof; but 
109:045,19['  ]| he laughed as heartily as if he did, and then replied, 
109:045,20[L  ]| "Aye, you will$1$ make$1$ conquests enough, I dare$1#2$ say, 
109:045,21[L  ]| one way or other.  Poor $SS#H$Brandon! he is quite smitten 
109:045,22[L  ]| already, and he is very well$5$ worth setting your cap at, 
109:045,23[L  ]| I can tell you, in$4$ spite$8$ of all this tumbling about$5$ and 
109:045,24[L  ]| spraining of ancles." 
110:046,01@e   | $SS#C$Marianne's preserver, 
109:046,01['  ]| as $SS#E$Margaret, with more elegance 
110:046,02['  ]| than precision, stiled $SS#R$Willoughby, called at the 
110:046,03['  ]| cottage early the next morning to$9$ make$1$ his personal inquiries. 
110:046,04['  ]| He was received by$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood with more 
110:046,05['  ]| than politeness; with a kindness which$6#1$ $SS#L$Sir*John's 
110:046,06['  ]| account$0$ of him and her own$2$ gratitude prompted; and 
110:046,07['  ]| every*thing that$6#1$ passed during the visit$0$, tended to$9$ assure 
110:046,08['  ]| him of the sense, elegance, mutual affection, and 
110:046,09['  ]| domestic$2$ comfort$0$ of the family to$4$ whom$6#1$ accident had 
110:046,10['  ]| now introduced him.  Of their personal charms he had 
110:046,11['  ]| not required a second$2$ interview to$9$ be convinced. 
110:046,12['  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood had a delicate complexion, regular 
110:046,13['  ]| features, and a remarkably pretty$2$ figure.  $SS#C$Marianne 
110:046,14['  ]| was still$5$ handsomer.  Her form$0$, though not so$5#1$ correct$2$ 
110:046,15['  ]| as her sister's, in$4$ having the advantage of height, was 
110:046,16['  ]| more striking; and her face$0$ was so$5#1$ lovely, that$3$ when in$4$ 
110:046,17['  ]| the common$2$ cant of praise$0$ she was called a beautiful 
110:046,18['  ]| girl, truth was less violently outraged than usually 
110:046,19['  ]| happens.  Her skin was very brown, but from its 
110:046,20['  ]| transparency, her complexion was uncommonly brilliant; 
110:046,21['  ]| her features were all good; her smile$0$ was sweet and 
110:046,22['  ]| attractive, and in$4$ her eyes, which$6#1$ were very dark$2$, there 
110:046,23['  ]| was a life, a spirit, an eagerness which$6#1$ could hardly be 
110:046,24['  ]| seen without delight$0$.  From $SS#R$Willoughby their expression 
110:046,25['  ]| was at first held back$5$, by$4$ the embarrassment which$6#1$ the 
110:046,26['  ]| remembrance of his assistance created.  But when this 
110:046,27['  ]| passed away, when her spirits became collected, when 
110:046,28['  ]| she saw that$3$ to$4$ the perfect$2$ good-breeding of the gentleman, 
110:046,29['  ]| he united frankness and vivacity, and above$4$ all, 
110:046,30['  ]| when she heard him declare that$3$ of music and dancing 
110:046,31['  ]| he was passionately fond, she gave him such a look$0$ of 
110:046,32['  ]| approbation as secured the largest share$0$ of his discourse 
110:046,33['  ]| to$4$ herself for$4$ the rest$0#1$ of his stay$0$. 
110:047,01['  ]| It was only necessary to$9$ mention$1$ any favourite$2$ 
110:047,02['  ]| amusement to$9$ engage her to$9$ talk$1$.  She could not be 
110:047,03['  ]| silent when such points were introduced, and she had 
110:047,04['  ]| neither shyness nor reserve$0$ in$4$ their discussion.  They 
110:047,05['  ]| speedily discovered that$3$ their enjoyment of dancing 
110:047,06['  ]| and music was mutual, and that$3$ it arose from a general$2$ 
110:047,07['  ]| conformity of judgment in$4$ all that$6#1$ related to$4$ either. 
110:047,08['  ]| Encouraged by$4$ this to$4$ a further examination of his 
110:047,09['  ]| opinions, she proceeded to$9$ question$1$ him on$4$ the subject$0$ 
110:047,10['  ]| of books; her favourite$2$ authors were brought forward$5$ 
110:047,11['  ]| and dwelt upon$5$ with so$5#1$ rapturous a delight$0$, that$3$ any 
110:047,12['  ]| young man of five*and*twenty must have been insensible 
110:047,13['  ]| indeed, not to$9$ become an immediate convert to$4$ the 
110:047,14['  ]| excellence of such works$0$, however disregarded before$5$. 
110:047,15['  ]| Their taste was strikingly alike.  The same books, the 
110:047,16['  ]| same passages were idolized by$4$ each ~~ or if any difference 
110:047,17['  ]| appeared, any objection arose, it lasted no$2$ longer than 
110:047,18['  ]| till the force$0$ of her arguments and the brightness of her 
110:047,19['  ]| eyes could be displayed.  He acquiesced in$4$ all her 
110:047,20['  ]| decisions, caught all her enthusiasm; and long before$3$ 
110:047,21['  ]| his visit$0$ concluded, they conversed with the familiarity 
110:047,22['  ]| of a long-established acquaintance. 
110:047,23[A  ]| "Well$7$, $SS#C$Marianne," 
110:047,23['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, as soon as he had left 
110:047,24['  ]| them, 
110:047,24[A  ]| "for$4$ \one\ morning I think you have done pretty$5$ 
110:047,25[A  ]| well$5$.  You have already ascertained $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby's 
110:047,26[A  ]| opinion in$4$ almost every matter of importance.  You 
110:047,27[A  ]| know what he thinks of $SS#Z1$Cowper and $SS#Z1$Scott; you are 
110:047,28[A  ]| certain of his estimating their beauties as he ought, and 
110:047,29[A  ]| you have received every assurance of his admiring $SS#Z1$Pope 
110:047,30[A  ]| no$2$ more than is proper.  But how is your acquaintance 
110:047,31[A  ]| to$9$ be long supported, under such extraordinary dispatch 
110:047,32[A  ]| of every subject$0$ for$4$ discourse?  You will$1$ soon have 
110:047,33[A  ]| exhausted each favourite$2$ topic.  Another meeting will$1$ 
110:047,34[A  ]| suffice to$9$ explain his sentiments on$4$ picturesque beauty, 
110:047,35[A  ]| and second$2$ marriages, and then you can have nothing 
110:047,36[A  ]| farther to$9$ ask." ~~ 
110:047,37[C  ]| "$SS#A$Elinor," 
110:047,37['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
110:047,37[C  ]| "is this fair? is this 
110:047,38[C  ]| just$2$? are my ideas so$5#1$ scanty?  But I see what you 
110:048,01[C  ]| mean$1$.  I have been too$5#1$ much at my ease$0$, too$5#1$ happy, 
110:048,02[C  ]| too$5#1$ frank$2$.  I have erred against every common-place 
110:048,03[C  ]| notion of decorum; I have been open$2$ and sincere 
110:048,04[C  ]| where I ought to$9$ have been reserved, spiritless, dull, 
110:048,05[C  ]| and deceitful: ~~ had I talked only of the weather and 
110:048,06[C  ]| the roads, and had I spoken only once in$4$ ten minutes, 
110:048,07[C  ]| this reproach$0$ would have been spared." 
110:048,08[D  ]| "My love$0$," 
110:048,08['  ]| said her mother, 
110:048,08[D  ]| "you must not be 
110:048,09[D  ]| offended with $SS#A$Elinor ~~ she was only in$4$ jest.  I should 
110:048,10[D  ]| scold her myself, if she were capable of wishing to$9$ check$1$ 
110:048,11[D  ]| the delight$0$ of your conversation with our new friend." ~~ 
110:048,12['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was softened in$4$ a moment. 
110:048,13['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby, on$4$ his side$0$, gave every proof of his pleasure 
110:048,14['  ]| in$4$ their acquaintance, which$6#1$ an evident wish$0$ of 
110:048,15['  ]| improving it could offer$1$.  He came to$4$ them every day. 
110:048,16['  ]| To$9$ inquire after$4$ $SS#C$Marianne was at first his excuse$0$; but 
110:048,17['  ]| the encouragement of his reception, to$4$ which$6#1$ every day 
110:048,18['  ]| gave greater kindness, made such an excuse$0$ unnecessary 
110:048,19['  ]| before$3$ it had ceased to$9$ be possible, by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's perfect$2$ 
110:048,20['  ]| recovery.  She was confined for$4$ some days to$4$ the house; 
110:048,21['  ]| but never had any confinement been less irksome. 
110:048,22['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby was a young man of good abilities, quick$2$ 
110:048,23['  ]| imagination, lively spirits, and open$2$, affectionate 
110:048,24['  ]| manners.  He was exactly formed to$9$ engage $SS#C$Marianne's 
110:048,25['  ]| heart, for$3$ with all this, he joined not only a captivating 
110:048,26['  ]| person, but a natural$2$ ardour of mind$0$ which$6#1$ was now 
110:048,27['  ]| roused and increased by$4$ the example of her own$2$, and 
110:048,28['  ]| which$6#1$ recommended him to$4$ her affection beyond$4$ every*thing 
110:048,29['  ]| else. 
110:048,30['  ]| His society became gradually her most exquisite 
110:048,31['  ]| enjoyment.  They read, they talked, they sang together; 
110:048,32['  ]| his musical talents were considerable; and he read with 
110:048,33['  ]| all the sensibility and spirit which$6#1$ $SS#B$Edward had unfortunately 
110:048,34['  ]| wanted. 
110:048,35['  ]| In$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's estimation, he was as faultless 
110:048,36['  ]| as in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's; and $SS#A$Elinor saw nothing to$9$ censure$1$ 
110:048,37['  ]| in$4$ him but a propensity, in$4$ which$6#1$ he strongly resembled 
110:048,38['  ]| and peculiarly delighted her sister, of saying too$5#1$ much 
110:049,01['  ]| what he thought$1$ on$4$ every occasion$0$, without attention 
110:049,02['  ]| to$4$ persons or circumstances.  In$4$ hastily forming and 
110:049,03['  ]| giving his opinion of other people, in$4$ sacrificing general$2$ 
110:049,04['  ]| politeness to$4$ the enjoyment of undivided attention 
110:049,05['  ]| where his heart was engaged, and in$4$ slighting too$5#1$ easily 
110:049,06['  ]| the forms of worldly propriety, he displayed a want$0$ of 
110:049,07['  ]| caution$0$ which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor could not approve, in$4$ spite$8$ of 
110:049,08['  ]| all that$6#1$ he and $SS#C$Marianne could say in$4$ its support$0$. 
110:049,09['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne began now to$9$ perceive that$3$ the desperation 
110:049,10['  ]| which$6#1$ had seized her at sixteen and a half, of ever 
110:049,11['  ]| seeing a man who$6#1$ could satisfy her ideas of perfection, 
110:049,12['  ]| had been rash and unjustifiable.  $SS#R$Willoughby was all 
110:049,13['  ]| that$6#1$ her fancy$0$ had delineated in$4$ that$6#2$ unhappy hour 
110:049,14['  ]| and in$4$ every brighter period, as capable of attaching 
110:049,15['  ]| her; and his behaviour declared his wishes$0$ to$9$ be in$4$ that$6#2$ 
110:049,16['  ]| respect$0$ as earnest, as his abilities were strong. 
110:049,17['  ]| Her mother too$5#2$, in$4$ whose$6#1$ mind$0$ not one speculative 
110:049,18['  ]| thought$0$ of their marriage had been raised, by$4$ his 
110:049,19['  ]| prospect of riches, was led before$4$ the end$0$ of a week to$9$ 
110:049,20['  ]| hope$1$ and expect it; and secretly to$9$ congratulate herself 
110:049,21['  ]| on$4$ having gained two such sons-in-law as $SS#B$Edward and 
110:049,22['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby. 
110:049,23['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's partiality for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, which$6#1$ had 
110:049,24['  ]| so$5#1$ early been discovered by$4$ his friends, now first became 
110:049,25['  ]| perceptible to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, when it ceased to$9$ be noticed by$4$ 
110:049,26['  ]| them.  Their attention and wit were drawn off to$4$ his 
110:049,27['  ]| more fortunate rival; and the raillery which$6#1$ the other 
110:049,28['  ]| had incurred before$3$ any partiality arose, was removed 
110:049,29['  ]| when his feelings began really to$9$ call$1$ for$4$ the ridicule$0#1$ 
110:049,30['  ]| so$5#1$ justly annexed to$4$ sensibility.  $SS#A$Elinor was obliged, 
110:049,31['  ]| though unwillingly, to$9$ believe that$3$ the sentiments 
110:049,32['  ]| which$6#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings had assigned him for$4$ her own$2$ 
110:049,33['  ]| satisfaction, were now actually excited by$4$ her sister; 
110:049,34['  ]| and that$3$ however a general$2$ resemblance of disposition 
110:049,35['  ]| between the parties might forward$1$ the affection of 
110:049,36['  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, an equally striking opposition of 
110:049,37['  ]| character was no$2$ hindrance to$4$ the regard$0$ of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon. 
110:049,38['  ]| She saw it with concern$0$; 
110:049,38@a   | for$4$ what could 
110:050,01@a   | a silent man of five*and*thirty hope$1$, when opposed by$4$ 
110:050,02@a   | a very lively one of five*and*twenty? 
110:050,02['  ]| and as she could 
110:050,03['  ]| not even$5$ wish$1$ him successful, she heartily wished him 
110:050,04['  ]| indifferent.  She liked him ~~ in$4$ spite$8$ of his gravity and 
110:050,05['  ]| reserve$0$, she beheld in$4$ him an object$0$ of interest$0$.  His 
110:050,06['  ]| manners, though serious$2$, were mild; and his reserve$0$ 
110:050,07['  ]| appeared rather the result$0$ of some oppression of spirits, 
110:050,08['  ]| than of any natural$2$ gloominess of temper.  $SS#L$Sir*John 
110:050,09['  ]| had dropt hints of past$2$ injuries and disappointments, 
110:050,10['  ]| which$6#1$ justified her belief of his being$1$ an unfortunate 
110:050,11['  ]| man, and she regarded him with respect$0$ and compassion. 
110:050,12['  ]| Perhaps she pitied and esteemed him the more because 
110:050,13['  ]| he was slighted by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby and $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$, 
110:050,14['  ]| prejudiced against him for$4$ being$1$ neither lively nor young, 
110:050,15['  ]| seemed resolved to$9$ undervalue his merits. 
110:050,16[R  ]| "$SS#H$Brandon is just$5$ the kind$0$ of man," 
110:050,16['  ]| said $SS#R$Willoughby 
110:050,17['  ]| one day, when they were talking of him together, 
110:050,18[R  ]| "whom$6#1$ every*body speaks well$5$ of, and nobody cares$1$ 
110:050,19[R  ]| about$4$; whom$6#1$ all are delighted to$9$ see, and nobody 
110:050,20[R  ]| remembers to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$." 
110:050,21[C  ]| "That$6#2$ is exactly what I think of him," 
110:050,21['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne. 
110:050,22[A  ]| "Do not boast$1$ of it, however," 
110:050,22['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
110:050,22[A  ]| "for$3$ it 
110:050,23[A  ]| is injustice in$4$ both of you.  He is highly esteemed by$4$ 
110:050,24[A  ]| all the family at the park, and I never see him myself 
110:050,25[A  ]| without taking pains to$9$ converse with him." 
110:050,26[R  ]| "That$6#2$ he is patronized by$4$ \you\," 
110:050,26['  ]| replied $SS#R$Willoughby, 
110:050,27[R  ]| "is certainly in$4$ his favour$0$; but as for$4$ the esteem$0$ of the 
110:050,28[R  ]| others, it is a reproach$0$ in$4$ itself.  Who$6#2$ would submit to$4$ 
110:050,29[R  ]| the indignity of being$1$ approved by$4$ such women as $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
110:050,30[R  ]| and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, that$6#2$ could command$1$ the 
110:050,31[R  ]| indifference of any*body else?" 
110:050,32[A  ]| "But perhaps the abuse of such people as yourself 
110:050,33[A  ]| and $SS#C$Marianne, will$1$ make$1$ amends for$4$ the regard$0$ of 
$SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
110:050,34[A  ]| and her mother.  If their praise$0$ is censure$0$, 
110:050,35[A  ]| your censure$0$ may$1$ be praise$0$, for$3$ they are not more 
110:050,36[A  ]| undiscerning, than you are prejudiced and unjust." 
110:050,37[R  ]| "In$4$ defence of your protege= you can even$5$ be saucy." 
110:050,38[A  ]| "My protege=, as you call$1$ him, is a sensible$2#2$ man; 
110:051,01[A  ]| and sense will$1$ always have attraction for$4$ me.  Yes, 
110:051,02[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, even$5$ in$4$ a man between thirty and forty. 
110:051,03[A  ]| He has seen a great deal$0$ of the world; has been abroad; 
110:051,04[A  ]| has read, and has a thinking mind$0$.  I have found him 
110:051,05[A  ]| capable of giving me much information on$4$ various 
110:051,06[A  ]| subjects, and he has always answered my inquiries with 
110:051,07[A  ]| the readiness of good-breeding and good*nature." 
110:051,08[C  ]| "That$6#2$ is to$9$ say," 
110:051,08['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne contemptuously, 
110:051,09[C  ]| "he has told you that$3$ in$4$ the East*Indies the climate 
110:051,10[C  ]| is hot, and the mosquitoes are troublesome." 
110:051,11[A  ]| "He \would\ have told me so$5#2$, I doubt$1$ not, had I made 
110:051,12[A  ]| any such inquiries, but they happened to$9$ be points on$4$ 
110:051,13[A  ]| which$6#1$ I had been previously informed." 
110:051,14[R  ]| "Perhaps," 
110:051,14['  ]| said $SS#R$Willoughby, 
110:051,14[R  ]| "his observations may$1$ 
110:051,15[R  ]| have extended to$4$ the existence of nabobs, gold mohrs, 
110:051,16[R  ]| and palanquins." 
110:051,17[A  ]| "I may$1$ venture to$9$ say that$3$ \his\ observations have 
110:051,18[A  ]| stretched much farther than \your\ candour.  But why 
110:051,19[A  ]| should you dislike$1$ him?" 
110:051,20[R  ]| "I do not dislike$1$ him.  I consider him, on$4$ the contrary, 
110:051,21[R  ]| as a very respectable man, who$6#1$ has every*body's 
110:051,22[R  ]| good word and nobody's notice$0$; who$6#1$ has more money 
110:051,23[R  ]| than he can spend, more time than he knows how to$9$ 
110:051,24[R  ]| employ, and two new coats every year." 
110:051,25[C  ]| "Add to$4$ which$6#1$," 
110:051,25['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
110:051,25[C  ]| "that$3$ he has neither 
110:051,26[C  ]| genius, taste, nor spirit.  That$3$ his understanding has 
110:051,27[C  ]| no$2$ brilliancy, his feelings no$2$ ardour, and his voice 
110:051,28[C  ]| no$2$ expression." 
110:051,29[A  ]| "You decide on$4$ his imperfections so$5#1$ much in$4$ the 
110:051,30[A  ]| mass," 
110:051,30['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
110:051,30[A  ]| "and so$5#1$ much on$4$ the strength 
110:051,31[A  ]| of your own$2$ imagination, that$3$ the commendation \I\ am 
110:051,32[A  ]| able to$9$ give of him is comparatively cold$2$ and insipid. 
110:051,33[A  ]| I can only pronounce him to$9$ be a sensible$2#2$ man, well-bred, 
110:051,34[A  ]| well-informed, of gentle address$0$, and I believe possessing 
110:051,35[A  ]| an amiable heart." 
110:051,36[R  ]| "$SS#A$Miss*Dashwood," 
110:051,36['  ]| cried $SS#R$Willoughby, 
110:051,36[R  ]| "you are now 
110:051,37[R  ]| using me unkindly.  You are endeavouring to$9$ disarm 
110:051,38[R  ]| me by$4$ reason$0$, and to$9$ convince me against my will$0$. 
110:052,01[R  ]| But it will$1$ not do.  You shall find me as stubborn as 
110:052,02[R  ]| you can be artful.  I have three unanswerable reasons 
110:052,03[R  ]| for$4$ disliking $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon:  he has threatened me 
110:052,04[R  ]| with rain$0$ when I wanted it to$9$ be fine; he has found 
110:052,05[R  ]| fault with the hanging of my curricle, and I cannot 
110:052,06[R  ]| persuade him to$9$ buy my brown mare.  If it will$1$ be any 
110:052,07[R  ]| satisfaction to$4$ you, however, to$9$ be told, that$3$ I believe 
110:052,08[R  ]| his character to$9$ be in$4$ other respects irreproachable, 
110:052,09[R  ]| I am ready to$9$ confess it.  And in$4$ return$0$ for$4$ an acknowledgment, 
110:052,10[R  ]| which$6#1$ must give me some pain$0$, you cannot 
110:052,11[R  ]| deny me the privilege of disliking him as much as ever." 
111:053,01['  ]| Little had $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood or her daughters imagined, 
111:053,02['  ]| when they first came into Devonshire, that$3$ so$5#1$ many 
111:053,03['  ]| engagements would arise to$9$ occupy their time as shortly 
111:053,04['  ]| presented themselves, or that$3$ they should have such 
111:053,05['  ]| frequent invitations and such constant visitors as to$9$ 
111:053,06['  ]| leave$1$ them little leisure for$4$ serious$2$ employment.  Yet 
111:053,07['  ]| such was the case.  When $SS#C$Marianne was recovered, the 
111:053,08['  ]| schemes of amusement at home and abroad, which$6#1$ 
111:053,09['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John had been previously forming, were put in$4$ 
111:053,10['  ]| execution.  The private$2$ balls at the park then began; 
111:053,11['  ]| and parties on$4$ the water were made and accomplished 
111:053,12['  ]| as often as a showery October would allow.  In$4$ every 
111:053,13['  ]| meeting of the kind$0$ $SS#R$Willoughby was included; and the 
111:053,14['  ]| ease$0$ and familiarity which$6#1$ naturally attended these 
111:053,15['  ]| parties were exactly calculated to$9$ give increasing 
111:053,16['  ]| intimacy to$4$ his acquaintance with the $SS#D1$Dashwoods, to$9$ 
111:053,17['  ]| afford him opportunity of witnessing the excellencies 
111:053,18['  ]| of $SS#C$Marianne, of marking his animated admiration of her, 
111:053,19['  ]| and of receiving, in$4$ her behaviour to$4$ himself, the most 
111:053,20['  ]| pointed assurance of her affection. 
111:053,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not be surprised at their attachment. 
111:053,22['  ]| She only wished that$3$ it were less openly shewn; and 
111:053,23['  ]| once or twice did venture to$9$ suggest the propriety of 
111:053,24['  ]| some self-command to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  But $SS#C$Marianne 
111:053,25['  ]| abhorred all concealment where no$2$ real disgrace$0$ could 
111:053,26['  ]| attend unreserve; and to$9$ aim$1$ at the restraint of sentiments 
111:053,27['  ]| which$6#1$ were not in$4$ themselves illaudable, appeared 
111:053,28['  ]| to$4$ her not merely an unnecessary effort, but a disgraceful 
111:053,29['  ]| subjection of reason$0$ to$4$ common-place and mistaken 
111:053,30['  ]| notions.  $SS#R$Willoughby thought$1$ the same; and their 
111:053,31['  ]| behaviour, at all times, was an illustration of their 
111:053,32['  ]| opinions. 
111:053,33['  ]| When he was present$5$ she had no$2$ eyes for$4$ any*one else. 
111:054,01['  ]| Every*thing he did, was right$2#1$.  Every*thing he said, was 
111:054,02['  ]| clever.  If their evenings at the park were concluded 
111:054,03['  ]| with cards, he cheated himself and all the rest$0#1$ of the 
111:054,04['  ]| party to$9$ get her a good hand$0$.  If dancing formed the 
111:054,05['  ]| amusement of the night, they were partners for$4$ half the 
111:054,06['  ]| time; and when obliged to$9$ separate$1$ for$4$ a couple of 
111:054,07['  ]| dances$0$, were careful to$9$ stand$1$ together and scarcely 
111:054,08['  ]| spoke a word to$4$ any*body else.  Such conduct$0$ made 
111:054,09['  ]| them of course$8$ most exceedingly laughed at; but ridicule$0#1$ 
111:054,10['  ]| could not shame$1$, and seemed hardly to$9$ provoke them. 
111:054,11['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood entered into all their feelings with 
111:054,12['  ]| a warmth which$6#1$ left her no$2$ inclination for$4$ checking 
111:054,13['  ]| this excessive display$0$ of them.  To$4$ her it was but the 
111:054,14['  ]| natural$2$ consequence of a strong affection in$4$ a young 
111:054,15['  ]| and ardent mind$0$. 
111:054,16['  ]| This was the season of happiness to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  Her 
111:054,17['  ]| heart was devoted to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, and the fond attachment 
111:054,18['  ]| to$4$ Norland, which$6#1$ she brought with her from 
111:054,19['  ]| Sussex, was more likely to$9$ be softened than she had 
111:054,20['  ]| thought$1$ it possible before$5$, by$4$ the charms which$6#1$ his 
111:054,21['  ]| society bestowed on$4$ her present$2$ home. 
111:054,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's happiness was not so$5#1$ great.  Her heart was 
111:054,23['  ]| not so$5#1$ much at ease$0$, nor her satisfaction in$4$ their amusements 
111:054,24['  ]| so$5#1$ pure.  They afforded her no$2$ companion that$6#1$ 
111:054,25['  ]| could make$1$ amends for$4$ what she had left behind, nor 
111:054,26['  ]| that$6#1$ could teach her to$9$ think of Norland with less regret$0$ 
111:054,27['  ]| than ever.  Neither $SS#M$Lady*Middleton nor $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
111:054,28['  ]| could supply$1$ to$4$ her the conversation she missed; although 
111:054,29['  ]| the latter was an everlasting talker, and from the first 
111:054,30['  ]| had regarded her with a kindness which$6#1$ ensured her 
111:054,31['  ]| a large share$0$ of her discourse.  She had already repeated 
111:054,32['  ]| her own$2$ history to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor three or four times; and had 
111:054,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's memory been equal$2$ to$4$ her means$0$ of improvement, 
111:054,34['  ]| she might have known very early in$4$ their acquaintance, 
111:054,35['  ]| all the particulars of $SS#K1$Mr%*Jennings's last$2$ illness, 
111:054,36['  ]| and what he said to$4$ his wife a few minutes before$3$ he died. 
111:054,37['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was more agreeable than her mother, 
111:054,38['  ]| only in$4$ being$1$ more silent.  $SS#A$Elinor needed little observation 
111:055,01['  ]| to$9$ perceive that$3$ her reserve$0$ was a mere calmness 
111:055,02['  ]| of manner with which$6#1$ sense had nothing to$9$ do.  Towards 
111:055,03['  ]| her husband and mother she was the same as to$4$ them; 
111:055,04['  ]| and intimacy was therefore neither to$9$ be looked for$5$ nor 
111:055,05['  ]| desired.  She had nothing to$9$ say one day that$6#1$ she had 
111:055,06['  ]| not said the day before$5$.  Her insipidity was invariable, 
111:055,07['  ]| for$3$ even$5$ her spirits were always the same; and though 
111:055,08['  ]| she did not oppose the parties arranged by$4$ her husband, 
111:055,09['  ]| provided every*thing were conducted in$4$ style and her 
111:055,10['  ]| two eldest children attended her, she never appeared 
111:055,11['  ]| to$9$ receive more enjoyment from them, than she might 
111:055,12['  ]| have experienced in$4$ sitting at home; ~~ and so$5#1$ little did 
111:055,13['  ]| her presence add to$4$ the pleasure of the others, by$4$ any 
111:055,14['  ]| share$0$ in$4$ their conversation, that$3$ they were sometimes 
111:055,15['  ]| only reminded of her being$1$ amongst them by$4$ her solicitude 
111:055,16['  ]| about$4$ her troublesome boys. 
111:055,17['  ]| In$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon alone, of all her new acquaintance, 
111:055,18['  ]| did $SS#A$Elinor find a person who$6#1$ could in$4$ any degree claim$1$ 
111:055,19['  ]| the respect$0$ of abilities, excite the interest$0$ of friendship, 
111:055,20['  ]| or give pleasure as a companion.  $SS#R$Willoughby was out$5$ 
111:055,21['  ]| of the question$0$.  Her admiration and regard$0$, even$5$ her 
111:055,22['  ]| sisterly regard$0$, was all his own$2$; but he was a lover; 
111:055,23['  ]| his attentions were wholly $SS#C$Marianne's, and a far less 
111:055,24['  ]| agreeable man might have been more generally pleasing. 
111:055,25['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, unfortunately for$4$ himself, had no$2$ 
111:055,26['  ]| such encouragement to$9$ think only of $SS#C$Marianne, and in$4$ 
111:055,27['  ]| conversing with $SS#A$Elinor he found the greatest consolation 
111:055,28['  ]| for$4$ the total indifference of her sister. 
111:055,29['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's compassion for$4$ him increased, as she had 
111:055,30['  ]| reason$0$ to$9$ suspect that$3$ the misery of disappointed love$0$ 
111:055,31['  ]| had already been known by$4$ him.  This suspicion was 
111:055,32['  ]| given by$4$ some words which$6#1$ accidentally dropt from him 
111:055,33['  ]| one evening at the park, when they were sitting down$5$ 
111:055,34['  ]| together by$4$ mutual consent$0$, while$3$ the others were 
111:055,35['  ]| dancing.  His eyes were fixed on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, and, after$4$ 
111:055,36['  ]| a silence$0$ of some minutes, he said with a faint$2$ smile$0$, 
111:055,37[H  ]| "Your sister, I understand, does not approve of second$2$ 
111:055,38[H  ]| attachments." 
111:056,01[A  ]| "No$7$," 
111:056,01['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
111:056,01[A  ]| "her opinions are all romantic." 
111:056,02[H  ]| "Or rather, as I believe, she considers them impossible 
111:056,03[H  ]| to$9$ exist." 
111:056,04[A  ]| "I believe she does.  But how she contrives it without 
111:056,05[A  ]| reflecting on$4$ the character of her own$2$ father, who$6#1$ had 
111:056,06[A  ]| himself two wives, I know not.  A few years however 
111:056,07[A  ]| will$1$ settle her opinions on$4$ the reasonable basis of common$2$ 
111:056,08[A  ]| sense and observation; and then they may$1$ be more 
111:056,09[A  ]| easy to$9$ define and to$9$ justify than they now are, by$4$ any*body 
111:056,10[A  ]| but herself." 
111:056,11[H  ]| "This will$1$ probably be the case," 
111:056,11['  ]| he replied; 
111:056,11[H  ]| "and 
111:056,12[H  ]| yet there is something so$5#1$ amiable in$4$ the prejudices of 
111:056,13[H  ]| a young mind$0$, that$3$ one is sorry to$9$ see them give way 
111:056,14[H  ]| to$4$ the reception of more general$2$ opinions." 
111:056,15[A  ]| "I cannot agree with you there," 
111:056,15['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
111:056,15[A  ]| "There 
111:056,16[A  ]| are inconveniences attending such feelings as $SS#C$Marianne's, 
111:056,17[A  ]| which$6#1$ all the charms of enthusiasm and ignorance of 
111:056,18[A  ]| the world cannot atone for$4$.  Her systems have all the 
111:056,19[A  ]| unfortunate tendency of setting propriety at nought; 
111:056,20[A  ]| and a better acquaintance with the world is what I look$1$ 
111:056,21[A  ]| forward$5$ to$4$ as her greatest possible advantage." 
111:056,22['  ]| After$4$ a short pause$0$ he resumed the conversation by$4$ 
111:056,23['  ]| saying ~~ 
111:056,24[H  ]| "Does your sister make$1$ no$2$ distinction in$4$ her objections 
111:056,25[H  ]| against a second$2$ attachment?  or is it equally 
111:056,26[H  ]| criminal in$4$ every*body?  Are those who$6#1$ have been 
111:056,27[H  ]| disappointed in$4$ their first choice$0$, whether from the 
111:056,28[H  ]| inconstancy of its object$0$, or the perverseness of circumstances, 
111:056,29[H  ]| to$9$ be equally indifferent during the rest$0#1$ of 
111:056,30[H  ]| their lives$0$?" 
111:056,31[A  ]| "Upon$4$ my word, I am not acquainted with the 
111:056,32[A  ]| minutia of her principles.  I only know that$3$ I never yet 
111:056,33[A  ]| heard her admit any instance$0$ of a second$2$ attachment's 
111:056,34[A  ]| being$1$ pardonable." 
111:056,35[H  ]| "This," 
111:056,35['  ]| said he, 
111:056,35[H  ]| "cannot hold$1$; but a change$0$, a 
111:056,36[H  ]| total change$0$ of sentiments ~~ No$7$, no$7$, do not desire$1$ it, ~~ 
111:056,37[H  ]| for$3$ when the romantic refinements of a young mind$0$ are 
111:056,38[H  ]| obliged to$9$ give way, how frequently are they succeeded 
111:057,01[H  ]| by$4$ such opinions as are but too$5#1$ common$2$, and too$5#1$ 
111:057,02[H  ]| dangerous!  I speak from experience$0$.  I once knew 
111:057,03[H  ]| a lady who$6#1$ in$4$ temper and mind$0$ greatly resembled your 
111:057,04[H  ]| sister, who$6#1$ thought$1$ and judged like$4$ her, but who$6#1$ from 
111:057,05[H  ]| an inforced change$0$ ~~ from a series of unfortunate 
111:057,06[H  ]| circumstances" ~~ 
111:057,06['  ]| Here he stopt suddenly; appeared 
111:057,07['  ]| to$9$ think that$3$ he had said too$5#1$ much, and by$4$ his countenance 
111:057,08['  ]| gave rise$0$ to$4$ conjectures$0$, which$6#1$ might not 
111:057,09['  ]| otherwise have entered $SS#A$Elinor's head$0$.  The lady would 
111:057,10['  ]| probably have passed without suspicion, had he not 
111:057,11['  ]| convinced $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood that$3$ what concerned her 
111:057,12['  ]| ought not to$9$ escape$1$ his lips.  As it was, it required but 
111:057,13['  ]| a slight$2$ effort of fancy$0$ to$9$ connect his emotion with the 
111:057,14['  ]| tender$2$ recollection of past$2$ regard$0$.  $SS#A$Elinor attempted 
111:057,15['  ]| no$2$ more.  But $SS#C$Marianne, in$4$ her place$0$, would not have 
111:057,16['  ]| done so$5#1$ little.  The whole$2$ story would have been speedily 
111:057,17['  ]| formed under her active imagination; and every*thing 
111:057,18['  ]| established in$4$ the most melancholy$2$ order of disastrous 
111:057,19['  ]| love$0$. 
112:058,01['  ]| As $SS#A$Elinor and $SS#C$Marianne were walking together the 
112:058,02['  ]| next morning the latter communicated a piece of news 
112:058,03['  ]| to$4$ her sister, which$6#1$ in$4$ spite$8$ of all that$6#1$ she knew before$5$ 
112:058,04['  ]| of $SS#C$Marianne's imprudence and want$0$ of thought$0$, surprised 
112:058,05['  ]| her by$4$ its extravagant testimony of both.  $SS#C$Marianne 
112:058,06['  ]| told her, with the greatest delight$0$, that$3$ 
112:058,06@c   | $SS#R$Willoughby 
112:058,07@c   | had given her a horse, one that$6#1$ he had bred himself on$4$ 
112:058,08@c   | his estate in$4$ Somersetshire, and which$6#1$ was exactly 
112:058,09@c   | calculated to$9$ carry a woman.  
112:058,09['  ]| Without considering that$3$ 
112:058,10['  ]| it was not in$4$ her mother's plan to$9$ keep any horse, 
112:058,11['  ]| that$3$ if she were to$9$ alter her resolution in$4$ favour$0$ of this 
112:058,12['  ]| gift, she must buy another for$4$ the servant, and keep 
112:058,13['  ]| a servant to$9$ ride$1$ it, and after$4$ all, build a stable to$9$ receive 
112:058,14['  ]| them, she had accepted the present$0#2$ without hesitation, 
112:058,15['  ]| and told her sister of it in$4$ raptures. 
112:058,16[C  ]| "He intends to$9$ send his groom into Somersetshire 
112:058,17[C  ]| immediately for$4$ it," 
112:058,17['  ]| she added, 
112:058,17[C  ]| "and when it arrives, 
112:058,18[C  ]| we will$1$ ride$1$ every day.  You shall share$1$ its use$0$ with me. 
112:058,19[C  ]| Imagine to$4$ yourself, my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Elinor, the delight$0$ of 
112:058,20[C  ]| a gallop on$4$ some of these downs." 
112:058,21['  ]| Most unwilling was she to$9$ awaken from such a dream$0$ 
112:058,22['  ]| of felicity, to$9$ comprehend all the unhappy truths which$6#1$ 
112:058,23['  ]| attended the affair; and for$4$ some time she refused to$9$ 
112:058,24['  ]| submit to$4$ them. 
112:058,24@c   | As to$4$ an additional servant, the 
112:058,25@c   | expence would be a trifle$0$; mama she was sure would 
112:058,26@c   | never object$1$ to$4$ it; and any horse would do for$4$ \him\; 
112:058,27@c   | he might always get one at the park; as to$4$ a stable, 
112:058,28@c   | the merest shed would be sufficient. 
112:058,28['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor then 
112:058,29['  ]| ventured to$9$ doubt$1$ the propriety of her receiving such 
112:058,30['  ]| a present$0#2$ from a man so$5#1$ little, or at least so$5#1$ lately 
112:058,31['  ]| known to$4$ her.  This was too$5#1$ much. 
112:058,32[C  ]| "You are mistaken, $SS#A$Elinor," 
112:058,32['  ]| said she warmly, 
112:058,32[C  ]| "in$4$ 
112:058,33[C  ]| supposing I know very little of $SS#R$Willoughby.  I have not 
112:059,01[C  ]| known him long indeed, but I am much better acquainted 
112:059,02[C  ]| with him, than I am with any other creature 
112:059,03[C  ]| in$4$ the world, except yourself and mama.  It is not time 
112:059,04[C  ]| or opportunity that$6#1$ is to$9$ determine intimacy; ~~ it is 
112:059,05[C  ]| disposition alone.  Seven years would be insufficient to$9$ 
112:059,06[C  ]| make$1$ some people acquainted with each other, and seven 
112:059,07[C  ]| days are more than enough for$4$ others.  I should hold$1$ 
112:059,08[C  ]| myself guilty of greater impropriety in$4$ accepting a horse 
112:059,09[C  ]| from my brother, than from $SS#R$Willoughby.  Of $SS#F$John I know 
112:059,10[C  ]| very little, though we have lived together for$4$ years; 
112:059,11[C  ]| but of $SS#R$Willoughby my judgment has long been formed." 
112:059,12['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor thought$1$ it wisest to$9$ touch$1$ that$6#2$ point$0$ no$2$ more. 
112:059,13['  ]| She knew her sister's temper.  Opposition on$4$ so$5#1$ tender$2$ 
112:059,14['  ]| a subject$0$ would only attach her the more to$4$ her own$2$ 
112:059,15['  ]| opinion.  But by$4$ an appeal to$4$ her affection for$4$ her 
112:059,16['  ]| mother, by$4$ representing the inconveniences which$6#1$ that$6#2$ 
112:059,17['  ]| indulgent mother must draw on$4$ herself, if (as would 
112:059,18['  ]| probably be the case) she consented to$4$ this increase$0$ of 
112:059,19['  ]| establishment, $SS#C$Marianne was shortly subdued; and she 
112:059,20['  ]| promised not to$9$ tempt her mother to$4$ such imprudent 
112:059,21['  ]| kindness by$4$ mentioning the offer$0$, and to$9$ tell $SS#R$Willoughby 
112:059,22['  ]| when she saw him next, that$3$ it must be declined. 
112:059,23['  ]| She was faithful to$4$ her word; and when $SS#R$Willoughby 
112:059,24['  ]| called at the cottage, the same day, $SS#A$Elinor heard her 
112:059,25['  ]| express$1$ her disappointment to$4$ him in$4$ a low voice, on$4$ 
112:059,26['  ]| being$1$ obliged to$9$ forego the acceptance of his present$0#2$. 
112:059,27['  ]| The reasons for$4$ this alteration were at the same time 
112:059,28['  ]| related, and they were such as to$9$ make$1$ further entreaty 
112:059,29['  ]| on$4$ his side$0$ impossible.  His concern$0$ however was very 
112:059,30['  ]| apparent; and after$4$ expressing it with earnestness, he 
112:059,31['  ]| added in$4$ the same low voice ~~ 
112:059,31[R  ]| "But, $SS#C$Marianne, the horse 
112:059,32[R  ]| is still$5$ yours, though you cannot use$1$ it now.  I shall keep 
112:059,33[R  ]| it only till you can claim$1$ it.  When you leave$1$ Barton 
112:059,34[R  ]| to$9$ form$1$ your own$2$ establishment in$4$ a more lasting home, 
112:059,35[R  ]| Queen*Mab shall receive you." 
112:059,36['  ]| This was all overheard by$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood; 
112:059,36@a   | and in$4$ 
112:059,37@a   | the whole$0$ of the sentence, in$4$ his manner of pronouncing 
112:059,38@a   | it, and in$4$ his addressing her sister by$4$ her christian name$0$ 
112:060,01@a   | alone, she instantly saw an intimacy so$5#1$ decided, a meaning 
112:060,02@a   | so$5#1$ direct$2$, as marked a perfect$2$ agreement between 
112:060,03@a   | them. 
112:060,03['  ]| From that$6#2$ moment she doubted not of their 
112:060,04['  ]| being$1$ engaged to$4$ each other; and the belief of it created 
112:060,05['  ]| no$2$ other surprise$0$, than that$3$ she, or any of their friends, 
112:060,06['  ]| should be left by$4$ tempers so$5#1$ frank$2$, to$9$ discover it by$4$ 
112:060,07['  ]| accident. 
112:060,08['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret related something to$4$ her the next day, 
112:060,09['  ]| which$6#1$ placed this matter in$4$ a still$5$ clearer light$0$.  $SS#R$Willoughby 
112:060,10['  ]| had spent the preceding evening with them, 
112:060,11['  ]| and $SS#E$Margaret, being$1$ left some time in$4$ the parlour 
112:060,12['  ]| with only him and $SS#C$Marianne, had had opportunity for$4$ 
112:060,13['  ]| observations, which$6#1$, with a most important face$0$, she 
112:060,14['  ]| communicated to$4$ her eldest sister, when they were next 
112:060,15['  ]| by$4$ themselves. 
112:060,16[E  ]| "Oh! $SS#A$Elinor," 
112:060,16['  ]| she cried, 
112:060,16[E  ]| "I have such a secret$0$ to$9$ 
112:060,17[E  ]| tell you about$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  I am sure she will$1$ be married 
112:060,18[E  ]| to$4$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby very soon." 
112:060,19[A  ]| "You have said so$5#2$," 
112:060,19['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
112:060,19[A  ]| "almost every 
112:060,20[A  ]| day since they first met on$4$ High-church*Down; and 
112:060,21[A  ]| they had not known each other a week, I believe, before$3$ 
112:060,22[A  ]| you were certain that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne wore his picture$0$ round$4$ 
112:060,23[A  ]| her neck; but it turned out$5$ to$9$ be only the miniature 
112:060,24[A  ]| of our great*uncle." 
112:060,25[E  ]| "But indeed this is quite another thing.  I am sure 
112:060,26[E  ]| they will$1$ be married very soon, for$3$ he has got a lock$0$ of her 
112:060,27[E  ]| hair." 
112:060,28[A  ]| "Take care$0$, $SS#E$Margaret.  It may$1$ be only the hair of 
112:060,29[A  ]| some great*uncle of \his\." 
112:060,30[E  ]| "But indeed, $SS#A$Elinor, it is $SS#C$Marianne's.  I am almost 
112:060,31[E  ]| sure it is, for$3$ I saw him cut$1$ it off.  Last$2$ night after$4$ tea, 
112:060,32[E  ]| when you and mama went out$5$ of the room, they were 
112:060,33[E  ]| whispering and talking together as fast as could be, and 
112:060,34[E  ]| he seemed to$9$ be begging something of her, and presently 
112:060,35[E  ]| he took up$5$ her scissars and cut$1$ off a long lock$0$ of her hair, 
112:060,36[E  ]| for$3$ it was all tumbled down$4$ her back$0$; and he kissed 
112:060,37[E  ]| it, and folded it up$5$ in$4$ a piece of white paper, and put 
112:060,38[E  ]| it into his pocket-book." 
112:061,01['  ]| From such particulars, stated on$4$ such authority, 
112:061,02['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not withhold her credit$0$:  nor was she disposed 
112:061,03['  ]| to$4$ it, for$3$ the circumstance was in$4$ perfect$2$ unison 
112:061,04['  ]| with what she had heard and seen herself. 
112:061,05['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret's sagacity was not always displayed in$4$ 
112:061,06['  ]| a way so$5#1$ satisfactory to$4$ her sister.  When $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
112:061,07['  ]| attacked her one evening at the park, to$9$ give the name$0$ 
112:061,08['  ]| of the young man who$6#1$ was $SS#A$Elinor's particular favourite$0$, 
112:061,09['  ]| which$6#1$ had been long a matter of great curiosity to$4$ her, 
112:061,10['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret answered by$4$ looking at her sister, and saying, 
112:061,11[E  ]| "I must not tell, may$1$ I, $SS#A$Elinor?" 
112:061,12['  ]| This of course$8$ made every*body laugh$1$; and $SS#A$Elinor 
112:061,13['  ]| tried to$9$ laugh$1$ too$5#2$.  But the effort was painful.  She was 
112:061,14['  ]| convinced that$3$ $SS#E$Margaret had fixed on$4$ a person, whose$6#1$ 
112:061,15['  ]| name$0$ she could not bear$1$ with composure to$9$ become 
112:061,16['  ]| a standing joke with $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings. 
112:061,17['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne felt for$4$ her most sincerely; but she did 
112:061,18['  ]| more harm$0$ than good to$4$ the cause, by$4$ turning very 
112:061,19['  ]| red, and saying in$4$ an angry manner to$4$ $SS#E$Margaret, 
112:061,20[C  ]| "Remember that$3$ whatever your conjectures$0$ may$1$ be, 
112:061,21[C  ]| you have no$2$ right$0$ to$9$ repeat them." 
112:061,22[E  ]| "I never had any conjectures$0$ about$4$ it," 
112:061,22['  ]| replied 
112:061,23['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret; 
112:061,23[E  ]| "it was you who$6#1$ told me of it yourself." 
112:061,24['  ]| This increased the mirth of the company, and $SS#E$Margaret 
112:061,25['  ]| was eagerly pressed to$9$ say something more. 
112:061,26[K  ]| "Oh!  pray, $SS#E$Miss*Margaret, let us know all about$4$ 
112:061,27[K  ]| it," 
112:061,27['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings. 
112:061,27[K  ]| "What is the gentleman's 
112:061,28[K  ]| name$0$?" 
112:061,29[E  ]| "I must not tell, ma'am.  But I know very well$5$ 
112:061,30[E  ]| what it is; and I know where he is too$5#2$." 
112:061,31[K  ]| "Yes, yes, we can guess$1$ where he is; at his own$2$ 
112:061,32[K  ]| house at Norland to$9$ be sure.  He is the curate of the 
112:061,33[K  ]| parish I dare$1#2$ say." 
112:061,34[E  ]| "No$7$, \that$6#2$\ he is not.  He is of no$2$ profession$0#2$ at all." 
112:061,35[C  ]| "$SS#E$Margaret," 
112:061,35['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne with great warmth, 
112:061,35[C  ]| "you 
112:061,36[C  ]| know that$3$ all this is an invention of your own$2$, and that$3$ 
112:061,37[C  ]| there is no$2$ such person in$4$ existence." 
112:061,38[E  ]| "Well$7$ then he is lately dead, $SS#C$Marianne, for$3$ I am sure 
112:062,01[E  ]| there was such a man once, and his name$0$ begins with 
112:062,02[E  ]| an $SS#B$F." 
112:062,03['  ]| Most grateful did $SS#A$Elinor feel to$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton for$4$ 
112:062,04['  ]| observing at this moment, 
112:062,04@m   | "that$3$ it rained very hard," 
112:062,05['  ]| though she believed the interruption to$9$ proceed less from 
112:062,06['  ]| any attention to$4$ her, than from her ladyship's great 
112:062,07['  ]| dislike$0$ of all such inelegant subjects of raillery as delighted 
112:062,08['  ]| her husband and mother.  The idea however started by$4$ 
112:062,09['  ]| her, was immediately pursued by$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
112:062,10['  ]| who$6#1$ was on$4$ every occasion$0$ mindful of the feelings of 
112:062,11['  ]| others; and much was said on$4$ the subject$0$ of rain$0$ by$4$ 
112:062,12['  ]| both of them.  $SS#R$Willoughby opened the piano-forte, and 
112:062,13['  ]| asked $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ sit down$5$ to$4$ it; and thus amidst the 
112:062,14['  ]| various endeavours$0$ of different people to$9$ quit the topic, 
112:062,15['  ]| it fell to$4$ the ground.  But not so$5#1$ easily did $SS#A$Elinor recover 
112:062,16['  ]| from the alarm$0$ into which$6#1$ it had thrown her. 
112:062,17['  ]| A party was formed this evening for$4$ going on$4$ the 
112:062,18['  ]| following day to$9$ see a very fine place$0$ about$4$ twelve 
112:062,19['  ]| miles from Barton, belonging to$4$ a brother-in-law of 
112:062,20['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, without whose$6#1$ interest$0$ it could not 
112:062,21['  ]| be seen, as the proprietor, who$6#1$ was then abroad, had 
112:062,22['  ]| left strict orders$0#1$ on$4$ that$6#2$ head$0$.  The grounds were 
112:062,23['  ]| declared to$9$ be highly beautiful, and $SS#L$Sir*John, who$6#1$ was 
112:062,24['  ]| particularly warm$2$ in$4$ their praise$0$, might be allowed to$9$ 
112:062,25['  ]| be a tolerable judge$0$, for$3$ he had formed parties to$9$ visit$1$ 
112:062,26['  ]| them, at least, twice every summer for$4$ the last$2$ ten years. 
112:062,27['  ]| They contained a noble piece of water; a sail on$4$ which$6#1$ 
112:062,28['  ]| was to$9$ form$1$ a great part$0$ of the morning's amusement; 
112:062,29['  ]| cold$2$ provisions were to$9$ be taken, open$2$ carriages only 
112:062,30['  ]| to$9$ be employed, and every*thing conducted in$4$ the usual 
112:062,31['  ]| style of a complete$2$ party of pleasure. 
112:062,32['  ]| To$4$ some few of the company, it appeared rather a bold 
112:062,33['  ]| undertaking, considering the time of year, and that$3$ it 
112:062,34['  ]| had rained every day for$4$ the last$2$ fortnight; ~~ and $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
112:062,35['  ]| who$6#1$ had already a cold$0$, was persuaded by$4$ 
112:062,36['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor to$9$ stay$1$ at home. 
113:063,01['  ]| Their intended excursion to$4$ Whitwell turned out$5$ very 
113:063,02['  ]| differently from what $SS#A$Elinor had expected.  She was prepared 
113:063,03['  ]| to$9$ be wet$2$ through$5$, fatigued, and frightened; but the 
113:063,04['  ]| event was still$5$ more unfortunate, for$3$ they did not go at all. 
113:063,05['  ]| By$4$ ten o'clock the whole$2$ party were assembled at 
113:063,06['  ]| the park, where they were to$9$ breakfast$1$.  The morning 
113:063,07['  ]| was rather favourable, though it had rained all night, 
113:063,08['  ]| as the clouds were then dispersing across$4$ the sky, and 
113:063,09['  ]| the sun frequently appeared.  They were all in$4$ high 
113:063,10['  ]| spirits and good*humour, eager to$9$ be happy, and 
113:063,11['  ]| determined to$9$ submit to$4$ the greatest inconveniences 
113:063,12['  ]| and hardships rather than be otherwise. 
113:063,13['  ]| While$3$ they were at breakfast$0$ the letters were brought 
113:063,14['  ]| in$5$.  Among the rest$0#1$ there was one for$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon; 
113:063,15['  ]| ~~ he took it, looked at the direction, changed colour, 
113:063,16['  ]| and immediately left the room. 
113:063,17[L  ]| "What is the matter with $SS#H$Brandon?" 
113:063,17['  ]| said $SS#L$Sir*John. 
113:063,18['  ]| Nobody could tell. 
113:063,19[M  ]| "I hope$1$ he has had no$2$ bad news," 
113:063,19['  ]| said $SS#M$Lady*Middleton. 
113:063,20[M  ]| "It must be something extraordinary that$6#1$ could 
113:063,21[M  ]| make$1$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon leave$1$ my breakfast*table so$5#1$ 
113:063,22[M  ]| suddenly." 
113:063,23['  ]| In$4$ about$4$ five minutes he returned. 
113:063,24[K  ]| "No$2$ bad news, $SS#H$Colonel, I hope$1$;" 
113:063,24['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
113:063,25['  ]| as soon as he entered the room. 
113:063,26[H  ]| "None at all, ma'am, I thank you." 
113:063,27[K  ]| "Was it from Avignon?  I hope$1$ it is not to$9$ say that$3$ 
113:063,28[K  ]| your sister is worse." 
113:063,29[H  ]| "No$7$, ma'am.  It came from town, and is merely 
113:063,30[H  ]| a letter of business." 
113:063,31[K  ]| "But how came the hand$0$ to$9$ discompose you so$5#1$ much, 
113:063,32[K  ]| if it was only a letter of business?  Come, come, this 
113:063,33[K  ]| wo'nt do, $SS#H$Colonel; so$3$ let us hear the truth of it." 
113:064,01[M  ]| "My dear$2#1$ Madam," 
113:064,01['  ]| said $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
113:064,01[M  ]| "recollect 
113:064,02[M  ]| what you are saying." 
113:064,03[K  ]| "Perhaps it is to$9$ tell you that$3$ your cousin $SS#ZN$Fanny 
113:064,04[K  ]| is married?" 
113:064,04['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, without attending 
113:064,05['  ]| to$4$ her daughter's reproof. 
113:064,06[H  ]| "No$7$, indeed, it is not." 
113:064,07[K  ]| "Well$7$, then, I know who$6#2$ it is from, $SS#H$Colonel.  And 
113:064,08[K  ]| I hope$1$ she is well$5$." 
113:064,09[H  ]| "Whom$6#2$ do you mean$1$, ma'am?" 
113:064,09['  ]| said he, colouring 
113:064,10['  ]| a little. 
113:064,11[K  ]| "Oh! you know who$6#2$ I mean$1$." 
113:064,12[H  ]| "I am particularly sorry, ma'am," 
113:064,12['  ]| said he, addressing 
113:064,13['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
113:064,13[H  ]| "that$3$ I should receive this letter to-day, 
113:064,14[H  ]| for$3$ it is on$4$ business which$6#1$ requires my immediate 
113:064,15[H  ]| attendance in$4$ town." 
113:064,16[K  ]| "In$4$ town!" 
113:064,16['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings. 
113:064,16[K  ]| "What can you 
113:064,17[K  ]| have to$9$ do in$4$ town at this time of year?" 
113:064,18[H  ]| "My own$2$ loss is great," 
113:064,18['  ]| he continued, 
113:064,18[H  ]| "in$4$ being$1$ 
113:064,19[H  ]| obliged to$9$ leave$1$ so$5#1$ agreeable a party; but I am the more 
113:064,20[H  ]| concerned, as I fear$1$ my presence is necessary to$9$ gain$1$ 
113:064,21[H  ]| your admittance at Whitwell." 
113:064,22['  ]| What a blow upon$4$ them all was this! 
113:064,23[C  ]| "But if you write a note$0$ to$4$ the housekeeper, $SS#H$Mr%*Brandon," 
113:064,24['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne eagerly, 
113:064,24[C  ]| "will$1$ it not be 
113:064,25[C  ]| sufficient?" 
113:064,26['  ]| He shook his head$0$. 
113:064,27[L  ]| "We must go," 
113:064,27['  ]| said $SS#L$Sir*John. ~~ 
113:064,27[L  ]| "It shall not be put 
113:064,28[L  ]| off when we are so$5#1$ near$4$ it.  You cannot go to$9$ town till 
113:064,29[L  ]| to-morrow, $SS#H$Brandon, that$6#2$ is all." 
113:064,30[H  ]| "I wish$1$ it could be so$5#1$ easily settled.  But it is not 
113:064,31[H  ]| in$4$ my power to$9$ delay$1$ my journey for$4$ one day!" 
113:064,32[K  ]| "If you would but let us know what your business 
113:064,33[K  ]| is," 
113:064,33['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
113:064,33[K  ]| "we might see whether it could 
113:064,34[K  ]| be put off or not." 
113:064,35[R  ]| "You would not be six hours later," 
113:064,35['  ]| said $SS#R$Willoughby, 
113:064,36[R  ]| "if you were to$9$ defer your journey till our return$0$." 
113:064,37[H  ]| "I cannot afford to$9$ lose \one\ hour." ~~ 
113:064,38['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor then heard $SS#R$Willoughby say in$4$ a low voice to$4$ 
113:065,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, 
113:065,01[R  ]| "There are some people who$6#1$ cannot bear$1$ 
113:065,02[R  ]| a party of pleasure.  $SS#H$Brandon is one of them.  He was 
113:065,03[R  ]| afraid of catching cold$0$ I dare$1#2$ say, and invented this 
113:065,04[R  ]| trick$0$ for$4$ getting out$5$ of it.  I would lay$1#1$ fifty guineas the 
113:065,05[R  ]| letter was of his own$2$ writing." 
113:065,06[C  ]| "I have no$2$ doubt$0$ of it," 
113:065,06['  ]| replied $SS#C$Marianne. 
113:065,07[L  ]| "There is no$2$ persuading you to$9$ change$1$ your mind$0$, 
113:065,08[L  ]| $SS#H$Brandon, I know of old," 
113:065,08['  ]| said $SS#L$Sir*John, 
113:065,08[L  ]| "when once 
113:065,09[L  ]| you are determined on$4$ any*thing.  But, however, 
113:065,10[L  ]| I hope$1$ you will$1$ think better of it.  Consider, here are 
113:065,11[L  ]| the two $SS#ZE$Miss*Careys come over from Newton, the three 
113:065,12[L  ]| $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods walked up$5$ from the cottage, and 
113:065,13[L  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby got up$5$ two hours before$4$ his usual time, 
113:065,14[L  ]| on$4$ purpose to$9$ go to$4$ Whitwell." 
113:065,15['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon again repeated his sorrow at being$1$ 
113:065,16['  ]| the cause of disappointing the party; but at the same 
113:065,17['  ]| time declared it to$9$ be unavoidable. 
113:065,18[L  ]| "Well$7$ then, when will$1$ you come back$5$ again?" 
113:065,19[M  ]| "I hope$1$ we shall see you at Barton," 
113:065,19['  ]| added her ladyship, 
113:065,20[M  ]| "as soon as you can conveniently leave$1$ town; 
113:065,21[M  ]| and we must put off the party to$4$ Whitwell till you 
113:065,22[M  ]| return$1$." 
113:065,23[H  ]| "You are very obliging.  But it is so$5#1$ uncertain, when 
113:065,24[H  ]| I may$1$ have it in$4$ my power to$9$ return$1$, that$3$ I dare$1#2$ not 
113:065,25[H  ]| engage for$4$ it at all." 
113:065,26[L  ]| "Oh! he must and shall come back$5$," 
113:065,26['  ]| cried $SS#L$Sir*John. 
113:065,27[L  ]| "If he is not here by$4$ the end$0$ of the week, I shall go 
113:065,28[L  ]| after$4$ him." 
113:065,29[K  ]| "Aye, so$5#2$ do, $SS#L$Sir*John," 
113:065,29['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
113:065,29[K  ]| "and 
113:065,30[K  ]| then perhaps you may$1$ find out$5$ what his business is." 
113:065,31[L  ]| "I do not want$1$ to$9$ pry into other men's concerns$0$. 
113:065,32[L  ]| I suppose it is something he is ashamed of." 
113:065,33['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's horses were announced. 
113:065,34[L  ]| "You do not go to$4$ town on$4$ horseback, do you?" 
113:065,35['  ]| added $SS#L$Sir*John. 
113:065,36[H  ]| "No$7$.  Only to$4$ Honiton.  I shall then go post." 
113:065,37[L  ]| "Well$7$, as you are resolved to$9$ go, I wish$1$ you a good 
113:065,38[L  ]| journey.  But you had better change$1$ your mind$0$." 
113:066,01[H  ]| "I assure you it is not in$4$ my power." 
113:066,02['  ]|  He then took leave$0$ of the whole$2$ party. 
113:066,03[H  ]| "Is there no$2$ chance$0$ of my seeing you and your 
113:066,04[H  ]| sisters in$4$ town this winter, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood?" 
113:066,05[A  ]| "I am afraid, none at all." 
113:066,06[H  ]| "Then I must bid you farewell for$4$ a longer time 
113:066,07[H  ]| than I should wish$1$ to$9$ do." 
113:066,08['  ]| To$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, he merely bowed and said nothing. 
113:066,09[K  ]| "Come, $SS#H$Colonel," 
113:066,09['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
113:066,09[K  ]| "before$3$ you go, 
113:066,10[K  ]| do let us know what you are going about$4$." 
113:066,11['  ]| He wished her a good morning, and attended by$4$ 
113:066,12['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John, left the room. 
113:066,13['  ]| The complaints and lamentations which$6#1$ politeness 
113:066,14['  ]| had hitherto restrained, now burst$1$ forth universally; 
113:066,15['  ]| and they all agreed again and again how provoking it 
113:066,16['  ]| was to$9$ be so$5#1$ disappointed. 
113:066,17[K  ]| "I can guess$1$ what his business is, however," 
113:066,17['  ]| said 
113:066,18['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings exultingly. 
113:066,19[X  ]| "Can you, ma'am?" 
113:066,19['  ]| said almost every*body. 
113:066,20[K  ]| "Yes; it is about$4$ $SS#ZC$Miss*Williams, I am sure." 
113:066,21[C  ]| "And who$6#2$ is $SS#ZC$Miss*Williams?" 
113:066,21['  ]| asked $SS#C$Marianne. 
113:066,22[K  ]| "What! do not you know who$6#2$ $SS#ZC$Miss*Williams is? 
113:066,23[K  ]| I am sure you must have heard of her before$5$.  She 
113:066,24[K  ]| is a relation of the $SS#H$Colonel's, my dear$2#1$; a very near$2$ 
113:066,25[K  ]| relation.  We will$1$ not say how near$5$, for$4$ fear$0$ of shocking 
113:066,26[K  ]| the young ladies." 
113:066,26['  ]| Then lowering her voice a little, 
113:066,27['  ]| she said to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, 
113:066,27[K  ]| "She is his natural$2$ daughter." 
113:066,28[A  ]| "Indeed!" 
113:066,29[K  ]| "Oh! yes; and as like$4$ him as she can stare.  I dare$1#2$ 
113:066,30[K  ]| say the $SS#H$Colonel will$1$ leave$1$ her all his fortune." 
113:066,31['  ]| When $SS#L$Sir*John returned, he joined most heartily 
113:066,32['  ]| in$4$ the general$2$ regret$0$ on$4$ so$5#1$ unfortunate an event; 
113:066,33['  ]| concluding however by$4$ observing, that$3$ 
113:066,33@l   | as they were all 
113:066,34@l   | got together, they must do something by$4$ way of being$1$ 
113:066,35@l   | happy; 
113:066,35['  ]| and after$4$ some consultation it was agreed, 
113:066,36['  ]| that$3$ although happiness could only be enjoyed at 
113:066,37['  ]| Whitwell, they might procure a tolerable composure 
113:066,38['  ]| of mind$0$ by$4$ driving about$4$ the country.  The carriages 
113:067,01['  ]| were then ordered; $SS#R$Willoughby's was first, and $SS#C$Marianne 
113:067,02['  ]| never looked happier than when she got into it.  He 
113:067,03['  ]| drove through$4$ the park very fast, and they were soon 
113:067,04['  ]| out$5$ of sight; and nothing more of them was seen till 
113:067,05['  ]| their return$0$, which$6#1$ did not happen till after$4$ the return$0$ 
113:067,06['  ]| of all the rest$0#1$.  They both seemed delighted with their 
113:067,07['  ]| drive$0$, but said only in$4$ general$2$ terms that$3$ they had kept 
113:067,08['  ]| in$4$ the lanes, while$3$ the others went on$4$ the downs. 
113:067,09['  ]| It was settled that$3$ there should be a dance$0$ in$4$ the 
113:067,10['  ]| evening, and that$3$ every*body should be extremely 
113:067,11['  ]| merry all day long.  Some more of the $SS#ZE$Careys came to$4$ 
113:067,12['  ]| dinner, and they had the pleasure of sitting down$5$ nearly 
113:067,13['  ]| twenty to$4$ table, which$6#1$ $SS#L$Sir*John observed with great 
113:067,14['  ]| contentment.  $SS#R$Willoughby took his usual place$0$ between 
113:067,15['  ]| the two elder $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings sat on$4$ 
113:067,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's right$2#2$ hand$0$; and they had not been long 
113:067,17['  ]| seated, before$3$ she leant behind her and $SS#R$Willoughby, 
113:067,18['  ]| and said to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, loud enough for$4$ them both to$9$ 
113:067,19['  ]| hear, 
113:067,19[K  ]| "I have found you out$5$ in$4$ spite$8$ of all your tricks. 
113:067,20[K  ]| I know where you spent the morning." 
113:067,21['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne coloured, and replied very hastily, 
113:067,21[C  ]| "Where, 
113:067,22[C  ]| pray?" ~~ 
113:067,23[R  ]| "Did not you know," 
113:067,23['  ]| said $SS#R$Willoughby, 
113:067,23[R  ]| "that$3$ we 
113:067,24[R  ]| had been out$5$ in$4$ my curricle?" 
113:067,25[K  ]| "Yes, yes, $SS#R$Mr%*Impudence, I know that$6#2$ very well$5$, 
113:067,26[K  ]| and I was determined to$9$ find out$5$ \where\ you had been to$4$. 
113:067,27[K  ]| ~~ I hope$1$ you like$1$ your house, $SS#C$Miss*Marianne.  It is 
113:067,28[K  ]| a very large one I know, and when I come to$9$ see you, 
113:067,29[K  ]| I hope$1$ you will$1$ have new-furnished it, for$3$ it wanted it 
113:067,30[K  ]| very much, when I was there six years ago." 
113:067,31['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne turned away in$4$ great confusion.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
113:067,32['  ]| laughed heartily; and $SS#A$Elinor found that$3$ in$4$ 
113:067,33['  ]| her resolution to$9$ know where they had been, she had 
113:067,34['  ]| actually made her own$2$ woman enquire of $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby's 
113:067,35['  ]| groom, and that$3$ she had by$4$ that$6#2$ method been 
113:067,36['  ]| informed that$3$ they had gone to$4$ Allenham, and spent 
113:067,37['  ]| a considerable time there in$4$ walking about$4$ the garden 
113:067,38['  ]| and going all over the house. 
113:068,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could hardly believe this to$9$ be true, as it 
113:068,02['  ]| seemed very unlikely that$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby should propose, 
113:068,03['  ]| or $SS#C$Marianne consent$1$, to$9$ enter the house while$3$ $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith 
113:068,04['  ]| was in$4$ it, with whom$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne had not the 
113:068,05['  ]| smallest acquaintance. 
113:068,06['  ]| As soon as they left the dining-room, $SS#A$Elinor enquired 
113:068,07['  ]| of her about$4$ it; and great was her surprise$0$ when she 
113:068,08['  ]| found that$3$ every circumstance related by$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
113:068,09['  ]| was perfectly true.  $SS#C$Marianne was quite angry with her 
113:068,10['  ]| for$4$ doubting it. 
113:068,11[C  ]| "Why should you imagine, $SS#A$Elinor, that$3$ we did not 
113:068,12[C  ]| go there, or that$3$ we did not see the house?  Is not it 
113:068,13[C  ]| what you have often wished to$9$ do yourself?" 
113:068,14[A  ]| "Yes, $SS#C$Marianne, but I would not go while$3$ $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith 
113:068,15[A  ]| was there, and with no$2$ other companion than $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby." 
113:068,17[C  ]| "$SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby however is the only person who$6#1$ can 
113:068,18[C  ]| have a right$0$ to$9$ shew$1$ that$6#2$ house; and as we went in$4$ 
113:068,19[C  ]| an open$2$ carriage, it was impossible to$9$ have any other 
113:068,20[C  ]| companion.  I never spent a pleasanter morning in$4$ 
113:068,21[C  ]| my life." 
113:068,22[A  ]| "I am afraid," 
113:068,22['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
113:068,22[A  ]| "that$3$ the pleasantness 
113:068,23[A  ]| of an employment does not always evince its propriety." 
113:068,24[C  ]| "On$4$ the contrary, nothing can be a stronger proof 
113:068,25[C  ]| of it, $SS#A$Elinor; for$3$ if there had been any real impropriety 
113:068,26[C  ]| in$4$ what I did, I should have been sensible$2#1$ of it at the 
113:068,27[C  ]| time, for$3$ we always know when we are acting wrong, 
113:068,28[C  ]| and with such a conviction I could have had no$2$ pleasure." 
113:068,29[A  ]| "But, my dear$2#1$ $SS#C$Marianne, as it has already exposed 
113:068,30[A  ]| you to$4$ some very impertinent remarks, do you not 
113:068,31[A  ]| now begin to$9$ doubt$1$ the discretion of your own$2$ conduct$0$?" 
113:068,32[C  ]| "If the impertinent remarks of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings are 
113:068,33[C  ]| to$9$ be the proof of impropriety in$4$ conduct$0$, we are all 
113:068,34[C  ]| offending every moment of our lives$0$.  I value$1$ not 
113:068,35[C  ]| her censure$0$ any more than I should do her commendation. 
113:068,36[C  ]| I am not sensible$2#1$ of having done any*thing wrong 
113:068,37[C  ]| in$4$ walking over $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith's grounds, or in$4$ seeing her 
113:068,38[C  ]| house.  They will$1$ one day be $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby's, and" ~~ 
113:069,01[A  ]|  "If they were one day to$9$ be your own$2$, $SS#C$Marianne, 
113:069,02[A  ]| you would not be justified in$4$ what you have done." 
113:069,03['  ]| She blushed at this hint$0$; but it was even$5$ visibly 
113:069,04['  ]| gratifying to$4$ her; and after$4$ a ten minutes' interval of 
113:069,05['  ]| earnest thought$0$, she came to$4$ her sister again, and said 
113:069,06['  ]| with great good*humour, 
113:069,06[C  ]| "Perhaps, $SS#A$Elinor, it \was\ rather 
113:069,07[C  ]| ill-judged in$4$ me to$9$ go to$4$ Allenham; but $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby 
113:069,08[C  ]| wanted particularly to$9$ shew$1$ me the place$0$; and it is 
113:069,09[C  ]| a charming house I assure you. ~~ There is one remarkably 
113:069,10[C  ]| pretty$2$ sitting*room up*stairs; of a nice comfortable 
113:069,11[C  ]| size for$4$ constant use$0$, and with modern furniture it 
113:069,12[C  ]| would be delightful.  It is a corner room, and has 
113:069,13[C  ]| windows on$4$ two sides.  On$4$ one side$0$ you look$1$ across$4$ the 
113:069,14[C  ]| bowling-green, behind the house, to$4$ a beautiful hanging*wood, 
113:069,15[C  ]| and on$4$ the other you have a view$0$ of the church 
113:069,16[C  ]| and village, and, beyond$4$ them, of those fine bold hills 
113:069,17[C  ]| that$3$ we have so$5#1$ often admired.  I did not see it to$4$ 
113:069,18[C  ]| advantage, for$3$ nothing could be more forlorn than the 
113:069,19[C  ]| furniture, ~~ but if it were newly fitted up$5$ ~~ a couple 
113:069,20[C  ]| of hundred pounds, $SS#R$Willoughby says, would make$1$ it 
113:069,21[C  ]| one of the pleasantest summer-rooms in$4$ England." 
113:069,22['  ]| Could $SS#A$Elinor have listened to$4$ her without interruption 
113:069,23['  ]| from the others, she would have described every room 
113:069,24['  ]| in$4$ the house with equal$2$ delight$0$. 
114:070,01['  ]| The sudden$2$ termination of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's visit$0$ 
114:070,02['  ]| at the park, with his steadiness in$4$ concealing its cause, 
114:070,03['  ]| filled the mind$0$ and raised the wonder$0$ of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
114:070,04['  ]| for$4$ two or three days; she was a great wonderer, as 
114:070,05['  ]| every*one must be who$6#1$ takes a very lively interest$0$ in$4$ all 
114:070,06['  ]| the comings and goings of all their acquaintance.  She 
114:070,07['  ]| wondered with little intermission 
114:070,07@k   | what could be the 
114:070,08@k   | reason$0$ of it; was sure there must be some bad news, 
114:070,09['  ]| and thought$1$ over every kind$0$ of distress$0$ that$3$ could have 
114:070,10['  ]| befallen him, with a fixed determination that$3$ he should 
114:070,11['  ]| not escape$1$ them all. 
114:070,12[K  ]| "Something very melancholy$2$ must be the matter, 
114:070,13[K  ]| I am sure," 
114:070,13['  ]| said she. 
114:070,13[K  ]| "I could see it in$4$ his face$0$.  Poor 
114:070,14[K  ]| man!  I am afraid his circumstances may$1$ be bad.  The 
114:070,15[K  ]| estate at Delaford was never reckoned more than two 
114:070,16[K  ]| thousand a year, and his brother left every*thing sadly 
114:070,17[K  ]| involved.  I do think he must have been sent for$5$ about$4$ 
114:070,18[K  ]| money matters, for$3$ what else can it be?  I wonder$1$ 
114:070,19[K  ]| whether it is so$5#2$.  I would give any*thing to$9$ know the 
114:070,20[K  ]| truth of it.  Perhaps it is about$4$ $SS#ZC$Miss*Williams ~~ and, 
114:070,21[K  ]| by*the*bye, I dare$1#2$ say it is, because he looked so$5#1$ conscious 
114:070,22[K  ]| when I mentioned her.  May*be she is ill in$4$ town; 
114:070,23[K  ]| nothing in$4$ the world more likely, for$3$ I have a notion 
114:070,24[K  ]| she is always rather sickly.  I would lay$1#1$ any wager it is 
114:070,25[K  ]| about$4$ $SS#ZC$Miss*Williams.  It is not so$5#1$ very likely he should 
114:070,26[K  ]| be distressed in$4$ his circumstances \now\, for$3$ he is a very 
114:070,27[K  ]| prudent man, and to$9$ be sure must have cleared the 
114:070,28[K  ]| estate by$4$ this time.  I wonder$1$ what it can be!  May*be 
114:070,29[K  ]| his sister is worse at Avignon, and has sent for$4$ him 
114:070,30[K  ]| over.  His setting off in$4$ such a hurry$0$ seems very like$4$ 
114:070,31[K  ]| it.  Well$7$, I wish$1$ him out$5$ of all his trouble$0$ with all my 
114:070,32[K  ]| heart, and a good wife into the bargain." 
114:070,33['  ]| So$5#2$ wondered, so$5#2$ talked $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, her opinion 
114:071,01['  ]| varying with every fresh conjecture$0$, and all seeming 
114:071,02['  ]| equally probable as they arose.  $SS#A$Elinor, though she felt 
114:071,03['  ]| really interested in$4$ the welfare of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
114:071,04['  ]| could not bestow all the wonder$0$ on$4$ his going so$5#1$ suddenly 
114:071,05['  ]| away, which$6#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was desirous of her feeling; 
114:071,06['  ]| for$3$ besides that$6#2$ the circumstance did not in$4$ her opinion 
114:071,07['  ]| justify such lasting amazement or variety of speculation, 
114:071,08['  ]| her wonder$0$ was otherwise disposed of.  It was engrossed 
114:071,09['  ]| by$4$ the extraordinary silence$0$ of her sister and $SS#R$Willoughby 
114:071,10['  ]| on$4$ the subject$0$, which$6#1$ they must know to$9$ be peculiarly 
114:071,11['  ]| interesting to$4$ them all.  As this silence$0$ continued, 
114:071,12['  ]| every day made it appear more strange and more 
114:071,13['  ]| incompatible with the disposition of both.  
114:071,13@a   | Why they 
114:071,14@a   | should not openly acknowledge to$4$ her mother and herself, 
114:071,15@a   | what their constant behaviour to$4$ each other 
114:071,16@a   | declared to$9$ have taken place$0$, 
114:071,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not imagine. 
114:071,17['  ]| She could easily conceive that$3$ marriage might not 
114:071,18['  ]| be immediately in$4$ their power; for$3$ though $SS#R$Willoughby 
114:071,19['  ]| was independent, there was no$2$ reason$0$ to$9$ believe him 
114:071,20['  ]| rich.  His estate had been rated by$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John at about$4$ 
114:071,21['  ]| six or seven hundred a year; but he lived at an expense 
114:071,22['  ]| to$4$ which$6#1$ that$6#2$ income could hardly be equal$2$, and he 
114:071,23['  ]| had himself often complained of his poverty.  But for$4$ 
114:071,24['  ]| this strange kind$0$ of secrecy maintained by$4$ them relative 
114:071,25['  ]| to$4$ their engagement, which$6#1$ in$4$ fact concealed nothing 
114:071,26['  ]| at all, she could not account$1$; and it was so$5#1$ wholly 
114:071,27['  ]| contradictory to$4$ their general$2$ opinions and practice$0$, 
114:071,28['  ]| that$3$ a doubt$0$ sometimes entered her mind$0$ of their being$1$ 
114:071,29['  ]| really engaged, and this doubt$0$ was enough to$9$ prevent 
114:071,30['  ]| her making any inquiry of $SS#C$Marianne. 
114:071,31['  ]| Nothing could be more expressive of attachment to$4$ 
114:071,32['  ]| them all, than $SS#R$Willoughby's behaviour.  To$4$ $SS#C$Marianne 
114:071,33['  ]| it had all the distinguishing tenderness which$6#1$ a lover's 
114:071,34['  ]| heart could give, and to$4$ the rest$0#1$ of the family it was the 
114:071,35['  ]| affectionate attention of a son and a brother.  The 
114:071,36['  ]| cottage seemed to$9$ be considered and loved by$4$ him as 
114:071,37['  ]| his home; many more of his hours were spent there 
114:071,38['  ]| than at Allenham; and if no$2$ general$2$ engagement 
114:072,01['  ]| collected them at the park, the exercise$0$ which$6#1$ called 
114:072,02['  ]| him out$5$ in$4$ the morning was almost certain of ending 
114:072,03['  ]| there, where the rest$0#1$ of the day was spent by$4$ himself 
114:072,04['  ]| at the side$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne, and by$4$ his favourite$2$ pointer 
114:072,05['  ]| at her feet. 
114:072,06['  ]| One evening in$4$ particular, about$4$ a week after$3$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
114:072,07['  ]| had left the country, his heart seemed more 
114:072,08['  ]| than usually open$2$ to$4$ every feeling of attachment to$4$ 
114:072,09['  ]| the objects$0$ around$4$ him; and on$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's 
114:072,10['  ]| happening to$9$ mention$1$ her design$0$ of improving the cottage 
114:072,11['  ]| in$4$ the spring$0$, he warmly opposed every alteration of 
114:072,12['  ]| a place$0$ which$6#1$ affection had established as perfect$2$ with 
114:072,13['  ]| him. 
114:072,14[R  ]| "What!" 
114:072,14['  ]| he exclaimed ~~ 
114:072,14[R  ]| "Improve this dear$2#1$ cottage! 
114:072,15[R  ]| No$7$.  \That$6#2$\ I will$1$ never consent$1$ to$4$.  Not a stone 
114:072,16[R  ]| must be added to$4$ its walls, not an inch to$4$ its size, if my 
114:072,17[R  ]| feelings are regarded." 
114:072,18[A  ]| "Do not be alarmed," 
114:072,18['  ]| said $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, 
114:072,18[A  ]| "nothing 
114:072,19[A  ]| of the kind$0$ will$1$ be done; for$3$ my mother will$1$ never have 
114:072,20[A  ]| money enough to$9$ attempt$1$ it." 
114:072,21[R  ]| "I am heartily glad of it," 
114:072,21['  ]| he cried. 
114:072,21[R  ]| "May$1$ she 
114:072,22[R  ]| always be poor, if she can employ her riches no$2$ better." 
114:072,23[D  ]| "Thank you, $SS#R$Willoughby.  But you may$1$ be assured 
114:072,24[D  ]| that$3$ I would not sacrifice$1$ one sentiment of local attachment 
114:072,25[D  ]| of yours, or of any*one whom$6#1$ I loved, for$4$ all the 
114:072,26[D  ]| improvements in$4$ the world.  Depend upon$4$ it that$3$ whatever 
114:072,27[D  ]| unemployed sum may$1$ remain, when I make$1$ up$5$ 
114:072,28[D  ]| my accounts in$4$ the spring$0$, I would even$5$ rather lay$1#1$ it 
114:072,29[D  ]| uselessly by$5$ than dispose of it in$4$ a manner so$5#1$ painful 
114:072,30[D  ]| to$4$ you.  But are you really so$5#1$ attached to$4$ this place$0$ as 
114:072,31[D  ]| to$9$ see no$2$ defect in$4$ it?" 
114:072,32[R  ]| "I am," 
114:072,32['  ]| said he. 
114:072,32[R  ]| "To$4$ me it is faultless.  Nay, more, 
114:072,33[R  ]| I consider it as the only form$0$ of building in$4$ which$6#1$ 
114:072,34[R  ]| happiness is attainable, and were I rich enough, I would 
114:072,35[R  ]| instantly pull Combe down$5$, and build it up$5$ again in$4$ 
114:072,36[R  ]| the exact$2$ plan of this cottage." 
114:072,37[A  ]| "With dark$2$ narrow stairs, and a kitchen that$6#1$ smokes, 
114:072,38[A  ]| I suppose," 
114:072,38['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
114:073,01[R  ]| "Yes," 
114:073,01['  ]| cried he in$4$ the same eager tone, 
114:073,01[R  ]| "with all 
114:073,02[R  ]| and every*thing belonging to$4$ it; ~~ in$4$ no$2$ one convenience 
114:073,03[R  ]| or \in\convenience about$4$ it, should the least variation be 
114:073,04[R  ]| perceptible.  Then, and then only, under such a roof, 
114:073,05[R  ]| I might perhaps be as happy at Combe as I have been 
114:073,06[R  ]| at Barton." 
114:073,07[A  ]| "I flatter myself," 
114:073,07['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
114:073,07[A  ]| "that$3$ even$5$ under 
114:073,08[A  ]| the disadvantage of better rooms and a broader staircase, 
114:073,09[A  ]| you will$1$ hereafter find your own$2$ house as faultless as 
114:073,10[A  ]| you now do this." 
114:073,11[R  ]| "There certainly are circumstances," 
114:073,11['  ]| said $SS#R$Willoughby, 
114:073,12[R  ]| "which$6#1$ might greatly endear it to$4$ me; but this place$0$ 
114:073,13[R  ]| will$1$ always have one claim$0$ on$4$ my affection, which$6#1$ no$2$ 
114:073,14[R  ]| other can possibly share$1$." 
114:073,15['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood looked with pleasure at $SS#C$Marianne, 
114:073,16['  ]| whose$6#1$ fine eyes were fixed so$5#1$ expressively on$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, 
114:073,17['  ]| as plainly denoted how well$5$ she understood him. 
114:073,18[R  ]| "How often did I wish$1$," 
114:073,18['  ]| added he, 
114:073,18[R  ]| "when I was at 
114:073,19[R  ]| Allenham this time twelvemonth, that$3$ Barton*cottage 
114:073,20[R  ]| were inhabited!  I never passed within view$0$ of it without 
114:073,21[R  ]| admiring its situation, and grieving that$3$ no*one should 
114:073,22[R  ]| live in$4$ it.  How little did I then think that$3$ the very 
114:073,23[R  ]| first news I should hear from $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith, when I next 
114:073,24[R  ]| came into the country, would be that$3$ Barton*cottage 
114:073,25[R  ]| was taken:  and I felt an immediate satisfaction and 
114:073,26[R  ]| interest$0$ in$4$ the event, which$6#1$ nothing but a kind$0$ of 
114:073,27[R  ]| prescience of what happiness I should experience$1$ from 
114:073,28[R  ]| it, can account$1$ for$4$.  Must it not have been so$5#2$, $SS#C$Marianne?" 
114:073,29['  ]| speaking to$4$ her in$4$ a lowered voice.  Then continuing 
114:073,30['  ]| his former tone, he said, 
114:073,30[R  ]| "And yet this house you would 
114:073,31[R  ]| spoil, $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood?  You would rob it of its simplicity 
114:073,32[R  ]| by$4$ imaginary improvement!  and this dear$2#1$ parlour, 
114:073,33[R  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ our acquaintance first began, and in$4$ which$6#1$ so$5#1$ 
114:073,34[R  ]| many happy hours have been since spent by$4$ us together, 
114:073,35[R  ]| you would degrade to$4$ the condition$0$ of a common$2$ 
114:073,36[R  ]| entrance, and every*body would be eager to$9$ pass$1$ through$4$ 
114:073,37[R  ]| the room which$6#1$ has hitherto contained within itself, 
114:073,38[R  ]| more real accommodation and comfort$0$ than any other 
114:074,01[R  ]| apartment of the handsomest dimensions in$4$ the world 
114:074,02[R  ]| could possibly afford." 
114:074,03['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood again assured him that$3$ no$2$ alteration 
114:074,04['  ]| of the kind$0$ should be attempted. 
114:074,05[R  ]| "You are a good woman," 
114:074,05['  ]| he warmly replied. 
114:074,05[R  ]| "Your 
114:074,06[R  ]| promise$0$ makes me easy.  Extend it a little farther, and 
114:074,07[R  ]| it will$1$ make$1$ me happy.  Tell me that$3$ not only your 
114:074,08[R  ]| house will$1$ remain the same, but that$3$ I shall ever find 
114:074,09[R  ]| you and yours as unchanged as your dwelling; and 
114:074,10[R  ]| that$3$ you will$1$ always consider me with the kindness 
114:074,11[R  ]| which$6#1$ has made every*thing belonging to$4$ you so$5#1$ dear$2#1$ 
114:074,12[R  ]| to$4$ me." 
114:074,13['  ]| The promise$0$ was readily given, and $SS#R$Willoughby's 
114:074,14['  ]| behaviour during the whole$0$ of the evening declared at 
114:074,15['  ]| once his affection and happiness. 
114:074,16[D  ]| "Shall we see you to-morrow to$4$ dinner?" 
114:074,16['  ]| said 
114:074,17['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood when he was leaving them. 
114:074,17[D  ]| "I do not 
114:074,18[D  ]| ask you to$9$ come in$4$ the morning, for$3$ we must walk$1$ to$4$ 
114:074,19[D  ]| the park, to$9$ call$1$ on$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton." 
114:074,20['  ]| He engaged to$9$ be with them by$4$ four o'clock. 
115:075,01['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's visit$0$ to$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton took place$0$ 
115:075,02['  ]| the next day, and two of her daughters went with her; 
115:075,03['  ]| but $SS#C$Marianne excused herself from being$1$ of the party 
115:075,04['  ]| under some trifling pretext of employment; and her 
115:075,05['  ]| mother, who$6#1$ concluded that$3$ a promise$0$ had been made 
115:075,06['  ]| by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby the night before$5$ of calling on$4$ her while$3$ 
115:075,07['  ]| they were absent, was perfectly satisfied with her 
115:075,08['  ]| remaining at home. 
115:075,09['  ]| On$4$ their return$0$ from the park they found $SS#R$Willoughby's 
115:075,10['  ]| curricle and servant in$4$ waiting at the cottage, and 
115:075,11['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was convinced that$3$ her conjecture$0$ had 
115:075,12['  ]| been just$2$.  So$5#1$ far it was all as she had foreseen; but 
115:075,13['  ]| on$4$ entering the house she beheld what no$2$ foresight 
115:075,14['  ]| had taught her to$9$ expect.  They were no$2$ sooner in$4$ the 
115:075,15['  ]| passage than $SS#C$Marianne came hastily out$5$ of the parlour 
115:075,16['  ]| apparently in$4$ violent affliction, with her handkerchief 
115:075,17['  ]| at her eyes; and without noticing them ran up*stairs. 
115:075,18['  ]| Surprised and alarmed they proceeded directly into the 
115:075,19['  ]| room she had just$5$ quitted, where they found only 
115:075,20['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby, who$6#1$ was leaning against the mantle-piece 
115:075,21['  ]| with his back$0$ towards them.  He turned round$5$ on$4$ their 
115:075,22['  ]| coming in$5$, and his countenance shewed that$3$ he strongly 
115:075,23['  ]| partook of the emotion which$6#1$ overpowered $SS#C$Marianne. 
115:075,24[D  ]| "Is any*thing the matter with her?" 
115:075,24['  ]| cried $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
115:075,25['  ]| as she entered ~~ 
115:075,25[D  ]| "is she ill?" 
115:075,26[R  ]| "I hope$1$ not," 
115:075,26['  ]| he replied, trying to$9$ look$1$ cheerful; and 
115:075,27['  ]| with a forced smile$0$ presently added, 
115:075,27[R  ]| "It is I who$6#1$ may$1$ 
115:075,28[R  ]| rather expect to$9$ be ill ~~ for$3$ I am now suffering under 
115:075,29[R  ]| a very heavy disappointment!" 
115:075,30[D  ]| "Disappointment!" 
115:075,31[R  ]| "Yes, for$3$ I am unable to$9$ keep my engagement with 
115:075,32[R  ]| you.  $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith has this morning exercised the privilege 
115:075,33[R  ]| of riches upon$4$ a poor dependant cousin, by$4$ sending me on$4$ 
115:076,01[R  ]| business to$4$ London.  I have just$5$ received my dispatches, 
115:076,02[R  ]| and taken my farewel of Allenham; and by$4$ way of 
115:076,03[R  ]| exhilaration I am now come to$9$ take my farewel of you." 
115:076,04[D  ]| "To$4$ London! ~~ and are you going this morning?" 
115:076,05[R  ]| "Almost this moment." 
115:076,06[D  ]| "This is very unfortunate.  But $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith must be 
115:076,07[D  ]| obliged; ~~ and her business will$1$ not detain you from 
115:076,08[D  ]| us long I hope$1$." 
115:076,09['  ]| He coloured as he replied, 
115:076,09[R  ]| "You are very kind$2$, but 
115:076,10[R  ]| I have no$2$ idea of returning into Devonshire immediately. 
115:076,11[R  ]| My visits to$4$ $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith are never repeated within the 
115:076,12[R  ]| twelvemonth." 
115:076,13[D  ]| "And is $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith your only friend?  Is Allenham 
115:076,14[D  ]| the only house in$4$ the neighbourhood to$4$ which$6#1$ you will$1$ 
115:076,15[D  ]| be welcome$2$?  For$4$ shame$0$, $SS#R$Willoughby.  Can you wait 
115:076,16[D  ]| for$4$ an invitation here?" 
115:076,17['  ]| His colour increased; and with his eyes fixed on$4$ the 
115:076,18['  ]| ground he only replied, 
115:076,18[R  ]| "You are too$5#1$ good." 
115:076,19['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood looked at $SS#A$Elinor with surprise$0$.  $SS#A$Elinor 
115:076,20['  ]| felt equal$2$ amazement.  For$4$ a few moments every*one 
115:076,21['  ]| was silent.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood first spoke. 
115:076,22[D  ]| "I have only to$9$ add, my dear$2#1$ $SS#R$Willoughby, that$3$ at 
115:076,23[D  ]| Barton*cottage you will$1$ always be welcome$2$; for$3$ I 
115:076,24[D  ]| will$1$ not press$1$ you to$9$ return$1$ here immediately, because 
115:076,25[D  ]| you only can judge$1$ how far \that$6#2$\ might be pleasing 
115:076,26[D  ]| to$4$ $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith; and on$4$ this head$0$ I shall be no$2$ more 
115:076,27[D  ]| disposed to$9$ question$1$ your judgment than to$9$ doubt$1$ your 
115:076,28[D  ]| inclination." 
115:076,29[R  ]| "My engagements at present$0#1$," 
115:076,29['  ]| replied $SS#R$Willoughby 
115:076,30['  ]| confusedly, 
115:076,30[R  ]| "are of such a nature ~~ that$3$ ~~ I dare$1#2$ not 
115:076,31[R  ]| flatter myself" ~~ 
115:076,32['  ]| He stopt.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was too$5#1$ much astonished 
115:076,33['  ]| to$9$ speak, and another pause$0$ succeeded.  This was broken 
115:076,34['  ]| by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, who$6#1$ said with a faint$2$ smile$0$, 
115:076,34[R  ]| "It is folly 
115:076,35[R  ]| to$9$ linger in$4$ this manner.  I will$1$ not torment$1$ myself 
115:076,36[R  ]| any longer by$4$ remaining among friends whose$6#1$ society 
115:076,37[R  ]| it is impossible for$4$ me now to$9$ enjoy." 
115:076,38['  ]| He then hastily took leave$0$ of them all and left the 
115:077,01['  ]| room.  They saw him step$1$ into his carriage, and in$4$ 
115:077,02['  ]| a minute$0$ it was out$5$ of sight. 
115:077,03['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood felt too$5#1$ much for$4$ speech, and instantly 
115:077,04['  ]| quitted the parlour to$9$ give way in$4$ solitude to$4$ the concern$0$ 
115:077,05['  ]| and alarm$0$ which$6#1$ this sudden$2$ departure occasioned. 
115:077,06['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's uneasiness was at least equal$2$ to$4$ her mother's. 
115:077,07['  ]| She thought$1$ of what had just$5$ passed with anxiety and 
115:077,08['  ]| distrust$0$.  $SS#R$Willoughby's behaviour in$4$ taking leave$0$ of 
115:077,09['  ]| them, his embarrassment, and affectation of cheerfulness, 
115:077,10['  ]| and, above$4$ all, his unwillingness to$9$ accept her 
115:077,11['  ]| mother's invitation, a backwardness so$5#1$ unlike a lover, 
115:077,12['  ]| so$5#1$ unlike himself, greatly disturbed her.  One moment 
115:077,13['  ]| she feared that$3$ no$2$ serious$2$ design$0$ had ever been formed 
115:077,14['  ]| on$4$ his side$0$; and the next that$3$ some unfortunate 
115:077,15['  ]| quarrel$0$ had taken place$0$ between him and her sister; ~~ 
115:077,16['  ]| the distress$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne had quitted the room was 
115:077,17['  ]| such as a serious$2$ quarrel$0$ could most reasonably account$1$ 
115:077,18['  ]| for$4$, though when she considered what $SS#C$Marianne's love$0$ 
115:077,19['  ]| for$4$ him was, a quarrel$0$ seemed almost impossible. 
115:077,20['  ]| But whatever might be the particulars of their separation, 
115:077,21['  ]| her sister's affliction was indubitable; and she 
115:077,22['  ]| thought$1$ with the tenderest compassion of that$6#2$ violent 
115:077,23['  ]| sorrow which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne was in$4$ all probability not merely 
115:077,24['  ]| giving way to$4$ as a relief, but feeding and encouraging 
115:077,25['  ]| as a duty. 
115:077,26['  ]| In$4$ about$4$ half an hour her mother returned, and though 
115:077,27['  ]| her eyes were red, her countenance was not uncheerful. 
115:077,28[D  ]| "Our dear$2#1$ $SS#R$Willoughby is now some miles from 
115:077,29[D  ]| Barton, $SS#A$Elinor," 
115:077,29['  ]| said she, as she sat down$5$ to$9$ work$1$, 
115:077,30[D  ]| "and with how heavy a heart does he travel?" 
115:077,31[A  ]| "It is all very strange.  So$5#1$ suddenly to$9$ be gone! 
115:077,32[A  ]| It seems but the work$0$ of a moment.  And last$2$ night 
115:077,33[A  ]| he was with us so$5#1$ happy, so$5#1$ cheerful, so$5#1$ affectionate? 
115:077,34[A  ]| And now after$4$ only ten minutes notice$0$ ~~ Gone too$5#2$ without 
115:077,35[A  ]| intending to$9$ return$1$! ~~ Something more than what 
115:077,36[A  ]| he owned to$4$ us must have happened.  He did not speak, 
115:077,37[A  ]| he did not behave like$4$ himself.  \You\ must have seen the 
115:077,38[A  ]| difference as well$5$ as I.  What can it be?  Can they have 
115:078,01[A  ]| quarrelled?  Why else should he have shewn such 
115:078,02[A  ]| unwillingness to$9$ accept your invitation here?" ~~ 
115:078,03[D  ]| "It was not inclination that$3$ he wanted, $SS#A$Elinor; 
115:078,04[D  ]| I could plainly see \that$6#2$\.  He had not the power of 
115:078,05[D  ]| accepting it.  I have thought$1$ it all over I assure you, 
115:078,06[D  ]| and I can perfectly account$1$ for$4$ every*thing that$6#1$ at first 
115:078,07[D  ]| seemed strange to$4$ me as well$5$ as to$4$ you." 
115:078,08[A  ]| "Can you indeed?" 
115:078,09[D  ]| "Yes.  I have explained it to$4$ myself in$4$ the most 
115:078,10[D  ]| satisfactory way; ~~ but you, $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ love$1$ to$9$ doubt$1$ 
115:078,11[D  ]| where you can ~~ It will$1$ not satisfy \you\, I know; but 
115:078,12[D  ]| you shall not talk$1$ \me\ out$5$ of my trust$0$ in$4$ it.  I am persuaded 
115:078,13[D  ]| that$3$ $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith suspects his regard$0$ for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, 
115:078,14[D  ]| disapproves of it, (perhaps because she has other views 
115:078,15[D  ]| for$4$ him,) and on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$ is eager to$9$ get him away; ~~ 
115:078,16[D  ]| and that$3$ the business which$6#1$ she sends him off to$9$ transact, 
115:078,17[D  ]| is invented as an excuse$0$ to$9$ dismiss him.  This is what 
115:078,18[D  ]| I believe to$9$ have happened.  He is moreover aware that$3$ 
115:078,19[D  ]| she \does\ disapprove the connection, he dares not therefore 
115:078,20[D  ]| at present$0#1$ confess to$4$ her his engagement with 
115:078,21[D  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, and he feels himself obliged, from his dependent 
115:078,22[D  ]| situation, to$9$ give into her schemes, and absent 
115:078,23[D  ]| himself from Devonshire for$4$ a while$0$.  You will$1$ tell me, 
115:078,24[D  ]| I know, that$3$ this may$1$, or may$1$ \not\ have happened; 
115:078,25[D  ]| but I will$1$ listen to$4$ no$2$ cavil, unless you can point$1$ out$5$ 
115:078,26[D  ]| any other method of understanding the affair as satisfactory 
115:078,27[D  ]| as this.  And now, $SS#A$Elinor, what have you to$9$ say?" 
115:078,28[A  ]| "Nothing, for$3$ you have anticipated my answer$0$." 
115:078,29[D  ]| "Then you would have told me, that$3$ it might or 
115:078,30[D  ]| might not have happened.  Oh!  $SS#A$Elinor, how incomprehensible 
115:078,31[D  ]| are your feelings!  You had rather take evil 
115:078,32[D  ]| upon$4$ credit$0$ than good.  You had rather look$1$ out$5$ for$4$ 
115:078,33[D  ]| misery for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne and guilt for$4$ poor $SS#R$Willoughby, 
115:078,34[D  ]| than an apology for$4$ the latter.  You are resolved to$9$ 
115:078,35[D  ]| think him blameable, because he took leave$0$ of us with 
115:078,36[D  ]| less affection than his usual behaviour has shewn.  And 
115:078,37[D  ]| is no$2$ allowance to$9$ be made for$4$ inadvertence, or for$4$ 
115:078,38[D  ]| spirits depressed by$4$ recent disappointment?  Are no$2$ 
115:079,01[D  ]| probabilities to$9$ be accepted, merely because they are 
115:079,02[D  ]| not certainties?  Is nothing due$2$ to$4$ the man whom$6#1$ we 
115:079,03[D  ]| have all so$5#1$ much reason$0$ to$9$ love$1$, and no$2$ reason$0$ in$4$ the 
115:079,04[D  ]| world to$9$ think ill of?  To$4$ the possibility of motives 
115:079,05[D  ]| unanswerable in$4$ themselves, though unavoidably secret$2$ 
115:079,06[D  ]| for$4$ a while$0$?  And, after$4$ all, what is it you suspect 
115:079,07[D  ]| him of?" 
115:079,08[A  ]| "I can hardly tell you myself. ~~ But suspicion of 
115:079,09[A  ]| something unpleasant is the inevitable consequence of 
115:079,10[A  ]| such an alteration as we have just$5$ witnessed in$4$ him. 
115:079,11[A  ]| There is great truth, however, in$4$ what you have now 
115:079,12[A  ]| urged of the allowances which$6#1$ ought to$9$ be made for$4$ 
115:079,13[A  ]| him, and it is my wish$0$ to$9$ be candid in$4$ my judgment of 
115:079,14[A  ]| every*body.  $SS#R$Willoughby may$1$ undoubtedly have very 
115:079,15[A  ]| sufficient reasons for$4$ his conduct$0$, and I will$1$ hope$1$ that$3$ 
115:079,16[A  ]| he has.  But it would have been more like$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby 
115:079,17[A  ]| to$9$ acknowledge them at once.  Secrecy may$1$ be advisable; 
115:079,18[A  ]| but still$5$ I cannot help$1$ wondering at its being$1$ 
115:079,19[A  ]| practised by$4$ him." 
115:079,20[D  ]| "Do not blame$1$ him, however, for$4$ departing from his 
115:079,21[D  ]| character, where the deviation is necessary.  But you 
115:079,22[D  ]| really do admit the justice of what I have said in$4$ his 
115:079,23[D  ]| defence? ~~ I am happy ~~ and he is acquitted." 
115:079,24[A  ]| "Not entirely.  It may$1$ be proper to$9$ conceal their 
115:079,25[A  ]| engagement (if they \are\ engaged) from $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith ~~ 
115:079,26[A  ]| and if that$6#2$ is the case, it must be highly expedient$2$ for$4$ 
115:079,27[A  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby to$9$ be but little in$4$ Devonshire at present$0#1$. 
115:079,28[A  ]| But this is no$2$ excuse$0$ for$4$ their concealing it from us." 
115:079,29[D  ]| "Concealing it from us!  my dear$2#1$ child, do you 
115:079,30[D  ]| accuse $SS#R$Willoughby and $SS#C$Marianne of concealment?  This 
115:079,31[D  ]| is strange indeed, when your eyes have been reproaching 
115:079,32[D  ]| them every day for$4$ incautiousness." 
115:079,33[A  ]| "I want$1$ no$2$ proof of their affection," 
115:079,33['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor; 
115:079,34[A  ]| "but of their engagement I do." 
115:079,35[D  ]| "I am perfectly satisfied of both." 
115:079,36[A  ]| "Yet not a syllable has been said to$4$ you on$4$ the 
115:079,37[A  ]| subject$0$, by$4$ either of them." 
115:079,38[D  ]| "I have not wanted syllables where actions have 
115:080,01[D  ]| spoken so$5#1$ plainly.  Has not his behaviour to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne 
115:080,02[D  ]| and to$4$ all of us, for$4$ at least the last$2$ fortnight, declared 
115:080,03[D  ]| that$3$ he loved and considered her as his future wife, 
115:080,04[D  ]| and that$3$ he felt for$4$ us the attachment of the nearest 
115:080,05[D  ]| relation?  Have we not perfectly understood each other? 
115:080,06[D  ]| Has not my consent$0$ been daily asked by$4$ his looks$0$, his 
115:080,07[D  ]| manner, his attentive and affectionate respect$0$?  My 
115:080,08[D  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, is it possible to$9$ doubt$1$ their engagement?  How 
115:080,09[D  ]| could such a thought$0$ occur to$4$ you?  How is it to$9$ be 
115:080,10[D  ]| supposed that$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby, persuaded as he must be 
115:080,11[D  ]| of your sister's love$0$, should leave$1$ her, and leave$1$ her 
115:080,12[D  ]| perhaps for$4$ months, without telling her of his affection; 
115:080,13[D  ]| ~~ that$3$ they should part$1$ without a mutual exchange$0$ 
115:080,14[D  ]| of confidence?" 
115:080,15[A  ]| "I confess," 
115:080,15['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
115:080,15[A  ]| "that$3$ every circumstance 
115:080,16[A  ]| except \one\ is in$4$ favour$0$ of their engagement; but that$6#2$ 
115:080,17[A  ]| \one\ is the total silence$0$ of both on$4$ the subject$0$, and with 
115:080,18[A  ]| me it almost outweighs every other." 
115:080,19[D  ]| "How strange this is!  You must think wretchedly 
115:080,20[D  ]| indeed of $SS#R$Willoughby, if after$4$ all that$6#1$ has openly passed 
115:080,21[D  ]| between them, you can doubt$1$ the nature of the terms 
115:080,22[D  ]| on$4$ which$6#1$ they are together.  Has he been acting a part$0$ 
115:080,23[D  ]| in$4$ his behaviour to$4$ your sister all this time?  Do you 
115:080,24[D  ]| suppose him really indifferent to$4$ her?" 
115:080,25[A  ]| "No$7$, I cannot think that$6#2$.  He must and does love$1$ 
115:080,26[A  ]| her I am sure." 
115:080,27[D  ]| "But with a strange kind$0$ of tenderness, if he can 
115:080,28[D  ]| leave$1$ her with such indifference, such carelessness of 
115:080,29[D  ]| the future, as you attribute to$4$ him." 
115:080,30[A  ]| "You must remember, my dear$2#1$ mother, that$3$ I have 
115:080,31[A  ]| never considered this matter as certain.  I have had my 
115:080,32[A  ]| doubts$0$, I confess; but they are fainter than they were, 
115:080,33[A  ]| and they may$1$ soon be entirely done away.  If we find 
115:080,34[A  ]| they correspond, every fear$0$ of mine$6$ will$1$ be removed." 
115:080,35[D  ]| "A mighty concession indeed!  If you were to$9$ see 
115:080,36[D  ]| them at the altar, you would suppose they were going 
115:080,37[D  ]| to$9$ be married.  Ungracious girl!  But \I\ require no$2$ such 
115:080,38[D  ]| proof.  Nothing in$4$ my opinion has ever passed to$9$ justify 
115:081,01[D  ]| doubt$0$; no$2$ secrecy has been attempted; all has been 
115:081,02[D  ]| uniformly open$2$ and unreserved.  You cannot doubt$1$ 
115:081,03[D  ]| your sister's wishes$0$.  It must be $SS#R$Willoughby therefore 
115:081,04[D  ]| whom$6#1$ you suspect.  But why?  Is he not a man of 
115:081,05[D  ]| honour$0$ and feeling?  Has there been any inconsistency 
115:081,06[D  ]| on$4$ his side$0$ to$9$ create alarm$0$?  can he be deceitful?" 
115:081,07[A  ]| "I hope$1$ not, I believe not," 
115:081,07['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor. 
115:081,07[A  ]| "I love$1$ 
115:081,08[A  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby, sincerely love$1$ him; and suspicion of his 
115:081,09[A  ]| integrity cannot be more painful to$4$ yourself than to$4$ 
115:081,10[A  ]| me.  It has been involuntary, and I will$1$ not encourage 
115:081,11[A  ]| it.  I was startled, I confess, by$4$ the alteration in$4$ his 
115:081,12[A  ]| manners this morning; ~~ he did not speak like$4$ himself, 
115:081,13[A  ]| and did not return$1$ your kindness with any cordiality. 
115:081,14[A  ]| But all this may$1$ be explained by$4$ such a situation of 
115:081,15[A  ]| his affairs as you have supposed.  He had just$5$ parted 
115:081,16[A  ]| from my sister, had seen her leave$1$ him in$4$ the greatest 
115:081,17[A  ]| affliction; and if he felt obliged, from a fear$0$ of offending 
115:081,18[A  ]| $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith, to$9$ resist the temptation of returning here 
115:081,19[A  ]| soon, and yet aware that$3$ by$4$ declining your invitation, 
115:081,20[A  ]| by$4$ saying that$3$ he was going away for$4$ some time, he 
115:081,21[A  ]| should seem to$9$ act$1$ an ungenerous, a suspicious part$0$ by$4$ 
115:081,22[A  ]| our family, he might well$5$ be embarrassed and disturbed. 
115:081,23[A  ]| In$4$ such a case, a plain and open$2$ avowal of his difficulties 
115:081,24[A  ]| would have been more to$4$ his honour$0$ I think, as well$5$ as 
115:081,25[A  ]| more consistent with his general$2$ character; ~~ but I will$1$ 
115:081,26[A  ]| not raise objections against any*one's conduct$0$ on$4$ so$5#1$ 
115:081,27[A  ]| illiberal a foundation, as a difference in$4$ judgment from 
115:081,28[A  ]| myself, or a deviation from what I may$1$ think right$2#1$ 
115:081,29[A  ]| and consistent." 
115:081,30[D  ]| "You speak very properly.  $SS#R$Willoughby certainly 
115:081,31[D  ]| does not deserve to$9$ be suspected.  Though \we\ have not 
115:081,32[D  ]| known him long, he is no$2$ stranger$0$ in$4$ this part$0$ of the 
115:081,33[D  ]| world; and who$6#2$ has ever spoken to$4$ his disadvantage? 
115:081,34[D  ]| Had he been in$4$ a situation to$9$ act$1$ independently and 
115:081,35[D  ]| marry immediately, it might have been odd that$3$ he 
115:081,36[D  ]| should leave$1$ us without acknowledging every*thing to$4$ 
115:081,37[D  ]| me at once:  but this is not the case.  It is an engagement 
115:081,38[D  ]| in$4$ some respects not prosperously begun, for$3$ their 
115:082,01[D  ]| marriage must be at a very uncertain distance$0$; and 
115:082,02[D  ]| even$5$ secrecy, as far as it can be observed, may$1$ now be 
115:082,03[D  ]| very advisable." 
115:082,04['  ]| They were interrupted by$4$ the entrance of $SS#E$Margaret; 
115:082,05['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor was then at liberty to$9$ think over the representations 
115:082,06['  ]| of her mother, to$9$ acknowledge the probability 
115:082,07['  ]| of many, and hope$1$ for$4$ the justice of all. 
115:082,08['  ]| They saw nothing of $SS#C$Marianne till dinner time, when 
115:082,09['  ]| she entered the room and took her place$0$ at the table 
115:082,10['  ]| without saying a word.  Her eyes were red and swollen; 
115:082,11['  ]| and it seemed as if her tears were even$5$ then restrained 
115:082,12['  ]| with difficulty.  She avoided the looks$0$ of them all, 
115:082,13['  ]| could neither eat nor speak, and after$4$ some time, on$4$ 
115:082,14['  ]| her mother's silently pressing her hand$0$ with tender$2$ 
115:082,15['  ]| compassion, her small degree of fortitude was quite 
115:082,16['  ]| overcome, she burst$1$ into tears and left the room. 
115:082,17['  ]| This violent oppression of spirits continued the whole$2$ 
115:082,18['  ]| evening.  She was without any power, because she was 
115:082,19['  ]| without any desire$0$ of command$0$ over herself.  The 
115:082,20['  ]| slightest mention$0$ of any*thing relative to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby 
115:082,21['  ]| overpowered her in$4$ an instant$0$; and though her family 
115:082,22['  ]| were most anxiously attentive to$4$ her comfort$0$, it was 
115:082,23['  ]| impossible for$4$ them, if they spoke at all, to$9$ keep clear$2$ 
115:082,24['  ]| of every subject$0$ which$6#1$ her feelings connected with him. 
116:083,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne would have thought$1$ herself very inexcusable 
116:083,02['  ]| had she been able to$9$ sleep$1$ at all the first night 
116:083,03['  ]| after$4$ parting from $SS#R$Willoughby.  She would have been 
116:083,04['  ]| ashamed to$9$ look$1$ her family in$4$ the face$0$ the next morning, 
116:083,05['  ]| had she not risen from her bed in$4$ more need$0$ of repose 
116:083,06['  ]| than when she lay$1#2$ down$5$ in$4$ it.  But the feelings which$6#1$ 
116:083,07['  ]| made such composure a disgrace$0$, left her in$4$ no$2$ danger 
116:083,08['  ]| of incurring it.  She was awake$2$ the whole$2$ night, and she 
116:083,09['  ]| wept the greatest part$0$ of it.  She got up$5$ with an headache, 
116:083,10['  ]| was unable to$9$ talk$1$, and unwilling to$9$ take any 
116:083,11['  ]| nourishment; giving pain$0$ every moment to$4$ her mother 
116:083,12['  ]| and sisters, and forbidding all attempt$0$ at consolation 
116:083,13['  ]| from either.  Her sensibility was potent enough! 
116:083,14['  ]| When breakfast$0$ was over she walked out$5$ by$4$ herself, 
116:083,15['  ]| and wandered about$4$ the village of Allenham, indulging 
116:083,16['  ]| the recollection of past$2$ enjoyment and crying over the 
116:083,17['  ]| present$2$ reverse for$4$ the chief of the morning. 
116:083,18['  ]| The evening passed off in$4$ the equal$2$ indulgence of 
116:083,19['  ]| feeling.  She played over every favourite$2$ song that$6#1$ she 
116:083,20['  ]| had been used to$9$ play$1$ to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, every air in$4$ which$6#1$ 
116:083,21['  ]| their voices had been oftenest joined, and sat at the 
116:083,22['  ]| instrument gazing on$4$ every line of music that$6#1$ he had 
116:083,23['  ]| written out$5$ for$4$ her, till her heart was so$5#1$ heavy that$3$ no$2$ 
116:083,24['  ]| farther sadness could be gained; and this nourishment 
116:083,25['  ]| of grief was every day applied.  She spent whole$2$ hours 
116:083,26['  ]| at the pianoforte= alternately singing and crying; her 
116:083,27['  ]| voice often totally suspended by$4$ her tears.  In$4$ books 
116:083,28['  ]| too$5#2$, as well$5$ as in$4$ music, she courted the misery which$6#1$ 
116:083,29['  ]| a contrast betwen the past$0$ and present$0#1$ was certain 
116:083,30['  ]| of giving.  She read nothing but what they had been 
116:083,31['  ]| used to$9$ read together. 
116:083,32['  ]| Such violence of affliction indeed could not be supported 
116:083,33['  ]| for*ever; it sunk within a few days into a calmer 
116:084,01['  ]| melancholy$0$; but these employments, to$4$ which$6#1$ she daily 
116:084,02['  ]| recurred, her solitary walks$0$ and silent meditations, still$5$ 
116:084,03['  ]| produced occasional effusions of sorrow as lively as 
116:084,04['  ]| ever. 
116:084,05['  ]| No$2$ letter from $SS#R$Willoughby came; and none seemed 
116:084,06['  ]| expected by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  Her mother was surprised, and 
116:084,07['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor again became uneasy.  But $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
116:084,08['  ]| could find explanations whenever she wanted them, 
116:084,09['  ]| which$6#1$ at least satisfied herself. 
116:084,10[D  ]| "Remember, $SS#A$Elinor," 
116:084,10['  ]| said she, 
116:084,10[D  ]| "how very often 
116:084,11[D  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John fetches our letters himself from the post, and 
116:084,12[D  ]| carries them to$4$ it.  We have already agreed that$3$ secrecy 
116:084,13[D  ]| may$1$ be necessary, and we must acknowledge that$3$ it 
116:084,14[D  ]| could not be maintained if their correspondence were 
116:084,15[D  ]| to$9$ pass$1$ through$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John's hands." 
116:084,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not deny the truth of this, and she tried 
116:084,17['  ]| to$9$ find in$4$ it a motive sufficient for$4$ their silence$0$.  But 
116:084,18['  ]| there was one method so$5#1$ direct$2$, so$5#1$ simple$2$, and in$4$ her 
116:084,19['  ]| opinion so$5#1$ eligible of knowing the real state$0$ of the affair, 
116:084,20['  ]| and of instantly removing all mystery, that$3$ she could 
116:084,21['  ]| not help$1$ suggesting it to$4$ her mother. 
116:084,22[A  ]| "Why do you not ask $SS#C$Marianne at once," 
116:084,22['  ]| said she, 
116:084,23[A  ]| "whether she is or is not engaged to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby? 
116:084,24[A  ]| From you, her mother, and so$5#1$ kind$2$, so$5#1$ indulgent 
116:084,25[A  ]| a mother, the question$0$ could not give offence.  It 
116:084,26[A  ]| would be the natural$2$ result$0$ of your affection for$4$ her. 
116:084,27[A  ]| She used to$9$ be all unreserve, and to$4$ you more especially." 
116:084,28[D  ]| "I would not ask such a question$0$ for$4$ the world. 
116:084,29[D  ]| Supposing it possible that$3$ they are not engaged, what 
116:084,30[D  ]| distress$0$ would not such an inquiry inflict!  At any rate$0$ 
116:084,31[D  ]| it would be most ungenerous.  I should never deserve 
116:084,32[D  ]| her confidence again, after$4$ forcing from her a confession 
116:084,33[D  ]| of what is meant at present$0#1$ to$9$ be unacknowledged to$4$ 
116:084,34[D  ]| any*one.  I know $SS#C$Marianne's heart:  I know that$3$ she 
116:084,35[D  ]| dearly$5#1$ loves me, and that$3$ I shall not be the last$0$ to$4$ whom$6#1$ 
116:084,36[D  ]| the affair is made known, when circumstances make$1$ the 
116:084,37[D  ]| revealment of it eligible.  I would not attempt$1$ to$9$ force$1$ 
116:084,38[D  ]| the confidence of any*one; of a child much less; because 
116:085,01[D  ]| a sense of duty would prevent the denial which$6#1$ her 
116:085,02[D  ]| wishes$0$ might direct$1$." 
116:085,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor thought$1$ this generosity overstrained, considering 
116:085,04['  ]| her sister's youth, and urged the matter farther, 
116:085,05['  ]| but in$4$ vain; common$2$ sense, common$2$ care$0$, common$2$ 
116:085,06['  ]| prudence, were all sunk in$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's romantic 
116:085,07['  ]| delicacy. 
116:085,08['  ]| It was several days before$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby's name$0$ was 
116:085,09['  ]| mentioned before$4$ $SS#C$Marianne by$4$ any of her family; 
116:085,10['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, indeed, were not so$5#1$ nice; 
116:085,11['  ]| their witticisms added pain$0$ to$4$ many a painful hour; ~~ 
116:085,12['  ]| but one evening, $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, accidentally taking 
116:085,13['  ]| up$5$ a volume of $SS#Z1$Shakespeare, exclaimed, 
116:085,14[D  ]| "We have never finished Hamlet, $SS#C$Marianne; our 
116:085,15[D  ]| dear$2#1$ $SS#R$Willoughby went away before$3$ we could get through$4$ 
116:085,16[D  ]| it.  We will$1$ put it by$5$, that$3$ when he comes again ~~ 
116:085,17[D  ]| But it may$1$ be months, perhaps, before$3$ \that$6#2$\ happens." 
116:085,18[C  ]| "Months!" 
116:085,18['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, with strong surprise$0$. 
116:085,19[C  ]| "No$7$ ~~ nor many weeks." 
116:085,20['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was sorry for$4$ what she had said; but 
116:085,21['  ]| it gave $SS#A$Elinor pleasure, as it produced a reply$0$ from 
116:085,22['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne so$5#1$ expressive of confidence in$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby 
116:085,23['  ]| and knowledge of his intentions. 
116:085,24['  ]| One morning, about$4$ a week after$4$ his leaving the 
116:085,25['  ]| country, $SS#C$Marianne was prevailed on$5$ to$9$ join her sisters 
116:085,26['  ]| in$4$ their usual walk$0$, instead of wandering away by$4$ herself. 
116:085,27['  ]| Hitherto she had carefully avoided every companion 
116:085,28['  ]| in$4$ her rambles.  If her sisters intended to$9$ walk$1$ 
116:085,29['  ]| on$4$ the downs, she directly stole away towards the lanes; 
116:085,30['  ]| if they talked of the valley, she was as speedy in$4$ climbing 
116:085,31['  ]| the hills, and could never be found when the others set$1$ 
116:085,32['  ]| off.  But at length she was secured by$4$ the exertions of 
116:085,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ greatly disapproved such continual seclusion. 
116:085,34['  ]| They walked along$4$ the road through$4$ the valley, and 
116:085,35['  ]| chiefly in$4$ silence$0$, for$3$ $SS#C$Marianne's \mind$0$\ could not be 
116:085,36['  ]| controuled, and $SS#A$Elinor, satisfied with gaining one point$0$, 
116:085,37['  ]| would not then attempt$1$ more.  Beyond$4$ the entrance 
116:085,38['  ]| of the valley, where the country, though still$5$ rich, was 
116:086,01['  ]| less wild and more open$2$, a long stretch of the road 
116:086,02['  ]| which$6#1$ they had travelled on$4$ first coming to$4$ Barton, lay$1#1$ 
116:086,03['  ]| before$4$ them; and on$4$ reaching that$6#2$ point$0$, they stopped 
116:086,04['  ]| to$9$ look$1$ around$4$ them, and examine a prospect which$6#1$ 
116:086,05['  ]| formed the distance$0$ of their view$0$ from the cottage, 
116:086,06['  ]| from a spot which$6#1$ they had never happened to$9$ reach$1$ 
116:086,07['  ]| in$4$ any of their walks$0$ before$5$. 
116:086,08['  ]| Amongst the objects$0$ in$4$ the scene, they soon discovered 
116:086,09['  ]| an animated one; it was a man on$4$ horseback riding 
116:086,10['  ]| towards them.  In$4$ a few minutes they could distinguish 
116:086,11['  ]| him to$9$ be a gentleman; and in$4$ a moment afterwards 
116:086,12['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne rapturously exclaimed, 
116:086,13[C  ]| "It is he; it is indeed; ~~ I know it is!" ~~ 
116:086,13['  ]| And was 
116:086,14['  ]| hastening to$9$ meet$1$ him, when $SS#A$Elinor cried out$5$, 
116:086,15[A  ]| "Indeed, $SS#C$Marianne, I think you are mistaken.  It is 
116:086,16[A  ]| not $SS#R$Willoughby.  The person is not tall enough for$4$ him, 
116:086,17[A  ]| and has not his air." 
116:086,18[C  ]| "He has, he has," 
116:086,18['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
116:086,18[C  ]| "I am sure he has. 
116:086,19[C  ]| His air, his coat, his horse.  I knew how soon he would 
116:086,20[C  ]| come." 
116:086,21['  ]| She walked eagerly on$5$ as she spoke; and $SS#A$Elinor, to$9$ 
116:086,22['  ]| screen $SS#C$Marianne from particularity, as she felt almost 
116:086,23['  ]| certain of its not being$1$ $SS#R$Willoughby, quickened her pace$0$ 
116:086,24['  ]| and kept up$5$ with her.  They were soon within thirty 
116:086,25['  ]| yards of the gentleman.  $SS#C$Marianne looked again; her 
116:086,26['  ]| heart sunk within her; and abruptly turning round$5$, 
116:086,27['  ]| she was hurrying back$5$, when the voices of both her 
116:086,28['  ]| sisters were raised to$9$ detain her, a third, almost as well$5$ 
116:086,29['  ]| known as $SS#R$Willoughby's, joined them in$4$ begging her to$9$ 
116:086,30['  ]| stop$1$, and she turned round$5$ with surprise$0$ to$9$ see and 
116:086,31['  ]| welcome$1$ $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars. 
116:086,32['  ]| He was the only person in$4$ the world who$6#1$ could at 
116:086,33['  ]| that$6#2$ moment be forgiven for$4$ not being$1$ $SS#R$Willoughby; the 
116:086,34['  ]| only one who$6#1$ could have gained a smile$0$ from her; but 
116:086,35['  ]| she dispersed her tears to$9$ smile$1$ on$4$ \him\, and in$4$ her 
116:086,36['  ]| sister's happiness forgot for$4$ a time her own$2$ disappointment.
116:086,37['  ]| 
116:086,38['  ]| He dismounted, and giving his horse to$4$ his servant, 
116:087,01['  ]| walked back$5$ with them to$4$ Barton, whither he was 
116:087,02['  ]| purposely coming to$9$ visit$1$ them. 
116:087,03['  ]| He was welcomed by$4$ them all with great cordiality, 
116:087,04['  ]| but especially by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ shewed more warmth 
116:087,05['  ]| of regard$0$ in$4$ her reception of him than even$5$ $SS#A$Elinor 
116:087,06['  ]| herself.  To$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, indeed, the meeting between 
116:087,07['  ]| $SS#B$Edward and her sister was but a continuation of that$6#2$ 
116:087,08['  ]| unaccountable coldness which$6#1$ she had often observed 
116:087,09['  ]| at Norland in$4$ their mutual behaviour.  On$4$ $SS#B$Edward's 
116:087,10['  ]| side$0$, more particularly, there was a deficiency of all 
116:087,11['  ]| that$6#1$ a lover ought to$9$ look$1$ and say on$4$ such an occasion$0$. 
116:087,12['  ]| He was confused, seemed scarcely sensible$2#1$ of pleasure 
116:087,13['  ]| in$4$ seeing them, looked neither rapturous nor gay, said 
116:087,14['  ]| little but what was forced from him by$4$ questions, and 
116:087,15['  ]| distinguished $SS#A$Elinor by$4$ no$2$ mark$0$ of affection.  $SS#C$Marianne 
116:087,16['  ]| saw and listened with increasing surprise$0$.  She began 
116:087,17['  ]| almost to$9$ feel a dislike$0$ of $SS#B$Edward; and it ended, as 
116:087,18['  ]| every feeling must end$1$ with her, by$4$ carrying back$5$ her 
116:087,19['  ]| thoughts to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, whose$6#1$ manners formed a contrast 
116:087,20['  ]| sufficiently striking to$4$ those of his brother elect. 
116:087,21['  ]| After$4$ a short silence$0$ which$6#1$ succeeded the first surprise$0$ 
116:087,22['  ]| and inquiries of meeting, $SS#C$Marianne asked $SS#B$Edward 
116:087,22@c   | if 
116:087,23@c   | he came directly from London. 
116:087,23@b   | No$7$, he had been in$4$ 
116:087,24@b   | Devonshire a fortnight. 
116:087,25[C  ]| "A fortnight!" she repeated, surprised at his being$1$ 
116:087,26[C  ]| so$5#1$ long in$4$ the same county with $SS#A$Elinor without seeing 
116:087,27[C  ]| her before$5$. 
116:087,28['  ]| He looked rather distressed as he added, that$3$ 
116:087,28@b   | he had 
116:087,29@b   | been staying with some friends near$4$ Plymouth. 
116:087,30[A  ]| "Have you been lately in$4$ Sussex?" 
116:087,30['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
116:087,31[B  ]| "I was at Norland about$4$ a month ago." 
116:087,32[C  ]| "And how does dear$2#1$, dear$2#1$ Norland look$1$?" 
116:087,32['  ]| cried 
116:087,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne. 
116:087,34[A  ]| "Dear$2#1$, dear$2#1$ Norland," 
116:087,34['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
116:087,34[A  ]| "probably looks$1$ 
116:087,35[A  ]| much as it always does at this time of year.  The woods 
116:087,36[A  ]| and walks$0$ thickly covered with dead leaves$0$." 
116:087,37[C  ]| "Oh!" 
116:087,37['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
116:087,37[C  ]| "with what transporting 
116:087,38[C  ]| sensations have I formerly seen them fall$1$!  How have 
116:088,01[C  ]| I delighted, as I walked, to$9$ see them driven in$4$ showers 
116:088,02[C  ]| about$4$ me by$4$ the wind!  What feelings have they, the 
116:088,03[C  ]| season, the air altogether inspired!  Now there is no*one 
116:088,04[C  ]| to$9$ regard$1$ them.  They are seen only as a nuisance, 
116:088,05[C  ]| swept hastily off, and driven as much as possible from 
116:088,06[C  ]| the sight." 
116:088,07[A  ]| "It is not every*one," 
116:088,07['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
116:088,07[A  ]| "who$6#1$ has your 
116:088,08[A  ]| passion for$4$ dead leaves$0$." 
116:088,09[C  ]| "No$7$; my feelings are not often shared, not often 
116:088,10[C  ]| understood.  But \sometimes\ they are."  ~~ 
116:088,10['  ]| As she said 
116:088,11['  ]| this, she sunk into a reverie for$4$ a few moments; ~~ but 
116:088,12['  ]| rousing herself again, 
116:088,12[C  ]| "Now, $SS#B$Edward," 
116:088,12['  ]| said she, calling 
116:088,13['  ]| his attention to$4$ the prospect, 
116:088,13[C  ]| "here is Barton*valley. 
116:088,14[C  ]| Look$1$ up$4$ it, and be tranquil if you can.  Look$1$ at those 
116:088,15[C  ]| hills!  Did you ever see their equals?  To$4$ the left is 
116:088,16[C  ]| Barton*park, amongst those woods and plantations. 
116:088,17[C  ]| You may$1$ see one end$0$ of the house.  And there, beneath 
116:088,18[C  ]| that$6#2$ farthest hill, which$6#1$ rises with such grandeur, is 
116:088,19[C  ]| our cottage." 
116:088,20[B  ]| "It is a beautiful country," 
116:088,20['  ]| he replied; 
116:088,20[B  ]| "but these 
116:088,21[B  ]| bottoms must be dirty in$4$ winter." 
116:088,22[C  ]| "How can you think of dirt, with such objects$0$ before$4$ 
116:088,23[C  ]| you?" 
116:088,24[B  ]| "Because," 
116:088,24['  ]| replied he, smiling, 
116:088,24[B  ]| "among the rest$0#1$ of 
116:088,25[B  ]| the objects$0$ before$4$ me, I see a very dirty lane." 
116:088,26[C  ]| "How strange!" 
116:088,26['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne to$4$ herself as she 
116:088,27['  ]| walked on$5$. 
116:088,28[B  ]| "Have you an agreeable neighbourhood here?  Are 
116:088,29[B  ]| the $SS#L1$Middletons pleasant people?" 
116:088,30[C  ]| "No$7$, not at all," 
116:088,30['  ]| answered $SS#C$Marianne, 
116:088,30[C  ]| "we could not 
116:088,31[C  ]| be more unfortunately situated." 
116:088,32[A  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne," 
116:088,32['  ]| cried her sister, 
116:088,32[A  ]| "how can you say so$5#2$? 
116:088,33[A  ]| How can you be so$5#1$ unjust?  They are a very respectable 
116:088,34[A  ]| family, $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars; and towards us have behaved in$4$ 
116:088,35[A  ]| the friendliest manner.  Have you forgot, $SS#C$Marianne, 
116:088,36[A  ]| how many pleasant days we have owed to$4$ them?" 
116:088,37[C  ]| "No$7$," 
116:088,37['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ a low voice, 
116:088,37[C  ]| "nor how many 
116:088,38[C  ]| painful moments." 
116:089,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor took no$2$ notice$0$ of this, and directing her 
116:089,02['  ]| attention to$4$ their visitor, endeavoured to$9$ support$1$ something 
116:089,03['  ]| like$4$ discourse with him by$4$ talking of their 
116:089,04['  ]| present$2$ residence, its conveniences, &c% extorting from 
116:089,05['  ]| him occasional questions and remarks.  His coldness 
116:089,06['  ]| and reserve$0$ mortified her severely; she was vexed and 
116:089,07['  ]| half angry; but resolving to$9$ regulate her behaviour to$4$ 
116:089,08['  ]| him by$4$ the past$0$ rather than the present$0#1$, she avoided 
116:089,09['  ]| every appearance of resentment or displeasure, and 
116:089,10['  ]| treated him as she thought$1$ he ought to$9$ be treated from 
116:089,11['  ]| the family connection. 
117:090,01['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was surprised only for$4$ a moment at 
117:090,02['  ]| seeing him; for$3$ his coming to$4$ Barton was, in$4$ her opinion, 
117:090,03['  ]| of all things the most natural$2$.  Her joy and expressions 
117:090,04['  ]| of regard$0$ long outlived her wonder$0$.  He received the 
117:090,05['  ]| kindest welcome$0$ from her; and shyness, coldness, reserve$0$ 
117:090,06['  ]| could not stand$1$ against such a reception.  They 
117:090,07['  ]| had begun to$9$ fail him before$3$ he entered the house, and 
117:090,08['  ]| they were quite overcome by$4$ the captivating manners 
117:090,09['  ]| of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood.  Indeed a man could not very well$5$ 
117:090,10['  ]| be in$4$ love$0$ with either of her daughters, without extending 
117:090,11['  ]| the passion to$4$ her; and $SS#A$Elinor had the satisfaction 
117:090,12['  ]| of seeing him soon become more like$4$ himself. 
117:090,12@a   | His 
117:090,13@a   | affections seemed to$9$ reanimate towards them all, and 
117:090,14@a   | his interest$0$ in$4$ their welfare again became perceptible. 
117:090,15@a   | He was not in$4$ spirits however; he praised their house, 
117:090,16@a   | admired its prospect, was attentive, and kind$2$; but still$5$ 
117:090,17@a   | he was not in$4$ spirits. 
117:090,17['  ]| The whole$2$ family perceived it, 
117:090,18['  ]| and $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, attributing it to$4$ some want$0$ of 
117:090,19['  ]| liberality in$4$ his mother, sat down$5$ to$4$ table indignant 
117:090,20['  ]| against all selfish parents. 
117:090,21[D  ]| "What are $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's views for$4$ you at present$0#1$, 
117:090,22[D  ]| $SS#B$Edward?" 
117:090,22['  ]| said she, when dinner was over and they 
117:090,23['  ]| had drawn round$4$ the fire$0$; 
117:090,23[D  ]| "are you still$5$ to$9$ be a great 
117:090,24[D  ]| orator in$4$ spite$8$ of yourself?" 
117:090,25[B  ]| "No$7$.  I hope$1$ my mother is now convinced that$3$ I 
117:090,26[B  ]| have no$2$ more talents than inclination for$4$ a public$2$ 
117:090,27[B  ]| life!" 
117:090,28[D  ]| "But how is your fame to$9$ be established? for$3$ famous 
117:090,29[D  ]| you must be to$9$ satisfy all your family; and with no$2$ 
117:090,30[D  ]| inclination for$4$ expense, no$2$ affection for$4$ strangers, no$2$ 
117:090,31[D  ]| profession$0#2$, and no$2$ assurance, you may$1$ find it a difficult 
117:090,32[D  ]| matter." 
117:090,33[B  ]| "I shall not attempt$1$ it.  I have no$2$ wish$0$ to$9$ be distinguished; 
117:091,01[B  ]| and I have every reason$0$ to$9$ hope$1$ I never 
117:091,02[B  ]| shall.  Thank Heaven!  I cannot be forced into genius 
117:091,03[B  ]| and eloquence." 
117:091,04[D  ]| "You have no$2$ ambition, I well$5$ know.  Your wishes$0$ 
117:091,05[D  ]| are all moderate." 
117:091,06[B  ]| "As moderate as those of the rest$0#1$ of the world, 
117:091,07[B  ]| I believe.  I wish$1$ as well$5$ as every*body else to$9$ be 
117:091,08[B  ]| perfectly happy; but like$4$ every*body else it must be 
117:091,09[B  ]| in$4$ my own$2$ way.  Greatness will$1$ not make$1$ me so$5#2$." 
117:091,10[C  ]| "Strange if it would!" 
117:091,10['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne. 
117:091,10[C  ]| "What 
117:091,11[C  ]| have wealth or grandeur to$9$ do with happiness?" 
117:091,12[A  ]| "Grandeur has but little," 
117:091,12['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
117:091,12[A  ]| "but wealth 
117:091,13[A  ]| has much to$9$ do with it." 
117:091,14[C  ]| "$SS#A$Elinor, for$4$ shame$0$!" 
117:091,14['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne; 
117:091,14[C  ]| "money can 
117:091,15[C  ]| only give happiness where there is nothing else to$9$ give 
117:091,16[C  ]| it.  Beyond$4$ a competence, it can afford no$2$ real satisfaction, 
117:091,17[C  ]| as far as mere self is concerned." 
117:091,18[A  ]| "Perhaps," 
117:091,18['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, smiling, 
117:091,18[A  ]| "we may$1$ come to$4$ 
117:091,19[A  ]| the same point$0$.  \Your\ competence and \my\ wealth are 
117:091,20[A  ]| very much alike, I dare$1#2$ say; and without them, as 
117:091,21[A  ]| the world goes now, we shall both agree that$3$ every kind$0$ 
117:091,22[A  ]| of external comfort$0$ must be wanting.  Your ideas are 
117:091,23[A  ]| only more noble than mine$6$.  Come, what is your 
117:091,24[A  ]| competence?" 
117:091,25[C  ]| "About$4$ eighteen hundred or two thousand a-year; 
117:091,26[C  ]| not more than \that$6#2$\." 
117:091,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor laughed. 
117:091,27[A  ]| "\Two\ thousand a-year!  \One\ is 
117:091,28[A  ]| my wealth!  I guessed how it would end$1$." 
117:091,29[C  ]| "And yet two thousand a-year is a very moderate 
117:091,30[C  ]| income," 
117:091,30['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne. 
117:091,30[C  ]| "A family cannot well$5$ be 
117:091,31[C  ]| maintained on$4$ a smaller.  I am sure I am not extravagant 
117:091,32[C  ]| in$4$ my demands$0$.  A proper establishment of servants, 
117:091,33[C  ]| a carriage, perhaps two, and hunters, cannot be supported 
117:091,34[C  ]| on$4$ less." 
117:091,35['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor smiled again, to$9$ hear her sister describing so$5#1$ 
117:091,36['  ]| accurately their future expenses at Combe*Magna. 
117:091,37[B  ]| "Hunters!" 
117:091,37['  ]| repeated $SS#B$Edward ~~ 
117:091,37[B  ]| "But why must 
117:091,38[B  ]| you have hunters?  Every*body does not hunt." 
117:092,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne coloured as she replied, 
117:092,01[C  ]| "But most people 
117:092,02[C  ]| do." 
117:092,03[E  ]| "I wish$1$," 
117:092,03['  ]| said $SS#E$Margaret, striking out$5$ a novel thought$0$, 
117:092,04[E  ]| "that$3$ somebody would give us all a large fortune 
117:092,05[E  ]| apiece!" 
117:092,06[C  ]| "Oh that$3$ they would!" 
117:092,06['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, her eyes 
117:092,07['  ]| sparkling with animation, and her cheeks glowing with 
117:092,08['  ]| the delight$0$ of such imaginary happiness. 
117:092,09[A  ]| "We are all unanimous in$4$ that$6#2$ wish$0$, I suppose," 
117:092,10['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
117:092,10[A  ]| "in$4$ spite$8$ of the insufficiency of wealth." 
117:092,11[E  ]| "Oh dear$7$!" 
117:092,11['  ]| cried $SS#E$Margaret, 
117:092,11[E  ]| "how happy I should 
117:092,12[E  ]| be!  I wonder$1$ what I should do with it!" 
117:092,13['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne looked as if she had no$2$ doubt$0$ on$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$. 
117:092,14[D  ]| "I should be puzzled to$9$ spend a large fortune myself," 
117:092,15['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
117:092,16[D  ]| "if my children were all to$9$ be 
117:092,17[D  ]| rich without my help$0$." 
117:092,17[A  ]| "You must begin your improvements on$4$ this house," 
117:092,18['  ]| observed $SS#A$Elinor, 
117:092,18[A  ]| "and your difficulties will$1$ soon vanish." 
117:092,19[B  ]| "What magnificent orders$0#1$ would travel from this 
117:092,20[B  ]| family to$4$ London," 
117:092,20['  ]| said $SS#B$Edward, 
117:092,20[B  ]| "in$4$ such an event! 
117:092,21[B  ]| What a happy day for$4$ booksellers, music-sellers, and 
117:092,22[B  ]| print-shops!  You, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, would give a general$2$ 
117:092,23[B  ]| commission for$4$ every new print of merit$0$ to$9$ be sent 
117:092,24[B  ]| you ~~ and as for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, I know her greatness of 
117:092,25[B  ]| soul, there would not be music enough in$4$ London to$9$ 
117:092,26[B  ]| content her.  And books! ~~ $SS#Z1$Thomson, $SS#Z1$Cowper, $SS#Z1$Scott ~~ 
117:092,27[B  ]| she would buy them all over and over again; she 
117:092,28[B  ]| would buy up$5$ every copy$0$, I believe, to$9$ prevent their 
117:092,29[B  ]| falling into unworthy hands; and she would have every 
117:092,30[B  ]| book that$6#1$ tells her how to$9$ admire an old twisted tree. 
117:092,31[B  ]| Should not you, $SS#C$Marianne?  Forgive me, if I am very 
117:092,32[B  ]| saucy.  But I was willing to$9$ shew$1$ you that$3$ I had not 
117:092,33[B  ]| forgot our old disputes." 
117:092,34[C  ]| "I love$1$ to$9$ be reminded of the past$0$, $SS#B$Edward ~~ whether 
117:092,35[C  ]| it be melancholy$2$ or gay, I love$1$ to$9$ recall$1$ it ~~ and you will$1$ 
117:092,36[C  ]| never offend me by$4$ talking of former times.  You are 
117:092,37[C  ]| very right$2#1$ in$4$ supposing how my money would be spent 
117:092,38[C  ]| ~~ some of it, at least ~~ my loose cash would certainly 
117:093,01[C  ]| be employed in$4$ improving my collection of music and 
117:093,02[C  ]| books." 
117:093,03[B  ]| "And the bulk of your fortune would be laid out$5$ in$4$ 
117:093,04[B  ]| annuities on$4$ the authors or their heirs." 
117:093,05[C  ]| "No$7$, $SS#B$Edward, I should have something else to$9$ do 
117:093,06[C  ]| with it." 
117:093,07[B  ]| "Perhaps then you would bestow it as a reward$0$ on$4$ 
117:093,08[B  ]| that$6#2$ person who$6#1$ wrote the ablest defence of your 
117:093,09[B  ]| favorite maxim, that$3$ no*one can ever be in$4$ love$0$ more 
117:093,10[B  ]| than once in$4$ their life ~~ for$3$ your opinion on$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$ 
117:093,11[B  ]| is unchanged, I presume?" 
117:093,12[C  ]| "Undoubtedly.  At my time of life opinions are 
117:093,13[C  ]| tolerably fixed.  It is not likely that$3$ I should now see 
117:093,14[C  ]| or hear anything to$9$ change$1$ them." 
117:093,15[A  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne is as stedfast as ever, you see," 
117:093,15['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
117:093,16[A  ]| "she is not at all altered." 
117:093,17[B  ]| "She is only grown a little more grave$2$ than she was." 
117:093,18[C  ]| "Nay, $SS#B$Edward," 
117:093,18['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
117:093,18[C  ]| "\you\ need$1$ not 
117:093,19[C  ]| reproach$1$ me.  You are not very gay yourself." 
117:093,20[B  ]| "Why should you think so$5#2$!" 
117:093,20['  ]| replied he, with a sigh$0$. 
117:093,21[B  ]| "But gaiety never was a part$0$ of \my\ character." 
117:093,22[A  ]| "Nor do I think it a part$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne's," 
117:093,22['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor; 
117:093,23[A  ]| "I should hardly call$1$ her a lively girl ~~ she is very 
117:093,24[A  ]| earnest, very eager in$4$ all she does ~~ sometimes talks 
117:093,25[A  ]| a great deal$0$ and always with animation ~~ but she is 
117:093,26[A  ]| not often really merry." 
117:093,27[B  ]| "I believe you are right$2#1$," 
117:093,27['  ]| he replied, 
117:093,27[B  ]| "and yet 
117:093,28[B  ]| I have always set$1$ her down$5$ as a lively girl." 
117:093,29[A  ]| "I have frequently detected myself in$4$ such kind$0$ of 
117:093,30[A  ]| mistakes," 
117:093,30['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
117:093,30[A  ]| "in$4$ a total misapprehension of 
117:093,31[A  ]| character in$4$ some point$0$ or other:  fancying people so$5#1$ 
117:093,32[A  ]| much more gay or grave$2$, or ingenious or stupid than 
117:093,33[A  ]| they really are, and I can hardly tell why, or in$4$ what 
117:093,34[A  ]| the deception originated.  Sometimes one is guided by$4$ 
117:093,35[A  ]| what they say of themselves, and very frequently by$4$ 
117:093,36[A  ]| what other people say of them, without giving oneself 
117:093,37[A  ]| time to$9$ deliberate and judge$1$." 
117:093,38[C  ]| "But I thought$1$ it was right$2#1$, $SS#A$Elinor," 
117:093,38['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
117:094,01[C  ]| "to$9$ be guided wholly by$4$ the opinion of other people. 
117:094,02[C  ]| I thought$1$ our judgments were given us merely to$9$ be 
117:094,03[C  ]| subservient to$4$ those of our neighbours.  This has always 
117:094,04[C  ]| been your doctrine, I am sure." 
117:094,05[A  ]| "No$7$, $SS#C$Marianne, never.  My doctrine has never aimed 
117:094,06[A  ]| at the subjection of the understanding.  All I have 
117:094,07[A  ]| ever attempted to$9$ influence$1$ has been the behaviour. 
117:094,08[A  ]| You must not confound my meaning.  I am guilty, 
117:094,09[A  ]| I confess, of having often wished you to$9$ treat$1$ our 
117:094,10[A  ]| acquaintance in$4$ general$0$ with greater attention; but 
117:094,11[A  ]| when have I advised you to$9$ adopt their sentiments or 
117:094,12[A  ]| conform to$4$ their judgment in$4$ serious$2$ matters?" 
117:094,13[B  ]| "You have not been able then to$9$ bring your sister 
117:094,14[B  ]| over to$4$ your plan of general$2$ civility," 
117:094,14['  ]| said $SS#B$Edward to$4$ 
117:094,15['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor. 
117:094,15[B  ]| "Do you gain$1$ no$2$ ground?" 
117:094,16[A  ]| "Quite the contrary," 
117:094,16['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, looking expressively 
117:094,17['  ]| at $SS#C$Marianne. 
117:094,18[B  ]| "My judgment," 
117:094,18['  ]| he returned, 
117:094,18[B  ]| "is all on$4$ your side$0$ 
117:094,19[B  ]| of the question$0$; but I am afraid my practice$0$ is much 
117:094,20[B  ]| more on$4$ your sister's.  I never wish$1$ to$9$ offend, but I am 
117:094,21[B  ]| so$5#1$ foolishly shy, that$3$ I often seem negligent, when I am 
117:094,22[B  ]| only kept back$5$ by$4$ my natural$2$ aukwardness.  I have 
117:094,23[B  ]| frequently thought$1$ that$3$ I must have been intended by$4$ 
117:094,24[B  ]| nature to$9$ be fond of low company, I am so$5#1$ little at my 
117:094,25[B  ]| ease$0$ among strangers of gentility!" 
117:094,26[A  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne has not shyness to$9$ excuse$1$ any inattention 
117:094,27[A  ]| of hers," 
117:094,27['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
117:094,28[B  ]| "She knows her own$2$ worth too$5#1$ well$5$ for$4$ false shame$0$," 
117:094,29['  ]| replied $SS#B$Edward. 
117:094,29[B  ]| "Shyness is only the effect$0$ of a sense 
117:094,30[B  ]| of inferiority in$4$ some way or other.  If I could persuade 
117:094,31[B  ]| myself that$3$ my manners were perfectly easy and graceful, 
117:094,32[B  ]| I should not be shy." 
117:094,33[C  ]| "But you would still$5$ be reserved," 
117:094,33['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
117:094,34[C  ]| "and that$6#2$ is worse." 
117:094,35['  ]| $SS#B$Edward stared ~~ 
117:094,35[B  ]| "Reserved!  Am I reserved, $SS#C$Marianne?" 
117:094,36[B  ]| 
117:094,37[C  ]| "Yes, very." 
117:094,38[B  ]| "I do not understand you," 
117:094,38['  ]| replied he, colouring. 
117:095,01[B  ]| "Reserved! ~~ how, in$4$ what manner?  What am I to$9$ 
117:095,02[B  ]| tell you?  What can you suppose?" 
117:095,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor looked surprised at his emotion, but trying 
117:095,04['  ]| to$9$ laugh$1$ off the subject$0$, she said to$4$ him, 
117:095,04[A  ]| "Do not you 
117:095,05[A  ]| know my sister well$5$ enough to$9$ understand what she 
117:095,06[A  ]| means$1$?  Do not you know that$3$ she calls$1$ every*one 
117:095,07[A  ]| reserved who$6#1$ does not talk$1$ as fast, and admire what she 
117:095,08[A  ]| admires as rapturously as herself?" 
117:095,09['  ]| $SS#B$Edward made no$2$ answer$0$.  His gravity and thoughtfulness 
117:095,10['  ]| returned on$4$ him in$4$ their fullest extent ~~ and he 
117:095,11['  ]| sat for$4$ some time silent and dull. 
118:096,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor saw, with great uneasiness, the low spirits 
118:096,02['  ]| of her friend.  His visit$0$ afforded her but a very partial 
118:096,03['  ]| satisfaction, while$3$ his own$2$ enjoyment in$4$ it appeared 
118:096,04['  ]| so$5#1$ imperfect.  It was evident that$3$ he was unhappy; 
118:096,05['  ]| she wished it were equally evident that$3$ he still$5$ distinguished 
118:096,06['  ]| her by$4$ the same affection which$6#1$ once she had 
118:096,07['  ]| felt no$2$ doubt$0$ of inspiring; but hitherto the continuance 
118:096,08['  ]| of his preference seemed very uncertain; and the 
118:096,09['  ]| reservedness of his manner towards her contradicted 
118:096,10['  ]| one moment what a more animated look$0$ had intimated 
118:096,11['  ]| the preceding one. 
118:096,12['  ]| He joined her and $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ the breakfast-room 
118:096,13['  ]| the next morning before$3$ the others were down$5$; and 
118:096,14['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ was always eager to$9$ promote their 
118:096,15['  ]| happiness as far as she could, soon left them to$4$ themselves. 
118:096,16['  ]| But before$3$ she was half way up*stairs she 
118:096,17['  ]| heard the parlour door open$1$, and, turning round$5$, was 
118:096,18['  ]| astonished to$9$ see $SS#B$Edward himself come out$5$. 
118:096,19[B  ]| "I am going into the village to$9$ see my horses," 
118:096,19['  ]| said 
118:096,20['  ]| he, 
118:096,20[B  ]| "as you are not yet ready for$4$ breakfast$0$; I shall be 
118:096,21[B  ]| back$5$ again presently." 
118:096,22['  ]| ~~ ~~ ~~
118:096,22['  ]| $SS#B$Edward returned to$4$ them with fresh admiration of 
118:096,23['  ]| the surrounding country; in$4$ his walk$0$ to$4$ the village, he 
118:096,24['  ]| had seen many parts of the valley to$4$ advantage; and 
118:096,25['  ]| the village itself, in$4$ a much higher situation than the 
118:096,26['  ]| cottage, afforded a general$2$ view$0$ of the whole$0$, which$6#1$ had 
118:096,27['  ]| exceedingly pleased him.  This was a subject$0$ which$6#1$ 
118:096,28['  ]| ensured $SS#C$Marianne's attention, and she was beginning 
118:096,29['  ]| to$9$ describe her own$2$ admiration of these scenes, and to$9$ 
118:096,30['  ]| question$1$ him more minutely on$4$ the objects$0$ that$6#1$ had 
118:096,31['  ]| particularly struck him, when $SS#B$Edward interrupted her 
118:096,32['  ]| by$4$ saying, 
118:096,32[B  ]| "You must not inquire too$5#1$ far, $SS#C$Marianne ~~ 
118:096,33[B  ]| remember I have no$2$ knowledge in$4$ the picturesque, and 
118:097,01[B  ]| I shall offend you by$4$ my ignorance and want$0$ of taste 
118:097,02[B  ]| if we come to$4$ particulars.  I shall call$1$ hills steep, which$6#1$ 
118:097,03[B  ]| ought to$9$ be bold; surfaces strange and uncouth, which$6#1$ 
118:097,04[B  ]| ought to$9$ be irregular and rugged; and distant objects$0$ 
118:097,05[B  ]| out$5$ of sight, which$6#1$ ought only to$9$ be indistinct through$4$ 
118:097,06[B  ]| the soft medium of a hazy atmosphere.  You must be 
118:097,07[B  ]| satisfied with such admiration as I can honestly give. 
118:097,08[B  ]| I call$1$ it a very fine country ~~ the hills are steep, the woods 
118:097,09[B  ]| seem full of fine timber, and the valley looks$1$ comfortable 
118:097,10[B  ]| and snug ~~ with rich meadows and several neat farm 
118:097,11[B  ]| houses scattered here and there.  It exactly answers 
118:097,12[B  ]| my idea of a fine country, because it unites beauty 
118:097,13[B  ]| with utility ~~ and I dare$1#2$ say it is a picturesque one too$5#2$, 
118:097,14[B  ]| because you admire it; I can easily believe it to$9$ be full 
118:097,15[B  ]| of rocks and promontories, grey moss and brush wood, 
118:097,16[B  ]| but these are all lost on$4$ me.  I know nothing of the 
118:097,17[B  ]| picturesque." 
118:097,18[C  ]| "I am afraid it is but too$5#1$ true," 
118:097,18['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne; 
118:097,19[C  ]| "but why should you boast$1$ of it?" 
118:097,20[A  ]| "I suspect," 
118:097,20['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
118:097,20[A  ]| "that$3$ to$9$ avoid one kind$0$ of 
118:097,21[A  ]| affectation, $SS#B$Edward here falls into another.  Because he 
118:097,22[A  ]| believes many people pretend to$4$ more admiration of 
118:097,23[A  ]| the beauties of nature than they really feel, and is 
118:097,24[A  ]| disgusted with such pretensions, he affects greater 
118:097,25[A  ]| indifference and less discrimination in$4$ viewing them 
118:097,26[A  ]| himself than he possesses.  He is fastidious and will$1$ 
118:097,27[A  ]| have an affectation of his own$2$." 
118:097,28[C  ]| "It is very true," 
118:097,28['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
118:097,28[C  ]| "that$3$ admiration 
118:097,29[C  ]| of landscape scenery is become a mere jargon.  Every*body 
118:097,30[C  ]| pretends to$9$ feel and tries to$9$ describe with the 
118:097,31[C  ]| taste and elegance of him who$6#1$ first defined what picturesque 
118:097,32[C  ]| beauty was.  I detest jargon of every kind$0$, 
118:097,33[C  ]| and sometimes I have kept my feelings to$4$ myself, 
118:097,34[C  ]| because I could find no$2$ language to$9$ describe them in$4$ but 
118:097,35[C  ]| what was worn and hackneyed out$5$ of all sense and 
118:097,36[C  ]| meaning." 
118:097,37[B  ]| "I am convinced," 
118:097,37['  ]| said $SS#B$Edward, 
118:097,37[B  ]| "that$3$ you really 
118:097,38[B  ]| feel all the delight$0$ in$4$ a fine prospect which$6#1$ you profess 
118:098,01[B  ]| to$9$ feel.  But, in$4$ return$0$, your sister must allow me to$9$ 
118:098,02[B  ]| feel no$2$ more than I profess.  I like$1$ a fine prospect, but 
118:098,03[B  ]| not on$4$ picturesque principles.  I do not like$1$ crooked, 
118:098,04[B  ]| twisted, blasted trees.  I admire them much more if 
118:098,05[B  ]| they are tall, straight and flourishing.  I do not like$1$ 
118:098,06[B  ]| ruined, tattered cottages.  I am not fond of nettles, or 
118:098,07[B  ]| thistles, or heath blossoms.  I have more pleasure in$4$ 
118:098,08[B  ]| a snug farm-house than a watch-tower ~~ and a troop of 
118:098,09[B  ]| tidy, happy villagers please me better than the finest 
118:098,10[B  ]| banditti in$4$ the world." 
118:098,11['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne looked with amazement at $SS#B$Edward, with 
118:098,12['  ]| compassion at her sister.  $SS#A$Elinor only laughed. 
118:098,13['  ]| The subject$0$ was continued no$2$ farther; and $SS#C$Marianne 
118:098,14['  ]| remained thoughtfully silent, till a new object$0$ suddenly 
118:098,15['  ]| engaged her attention.  She was sitting by$4$ $SS#B$Edward, 
118:098,16['  ]| and in$4$ taking his tea from $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, his hand$0$ 
118:098,17['  ]| passed so$5#1$ directly before$4$ her, as to$9$ make$1$ a ring$0$, with 
118:098,18['  ]| a plait of hair in$4$ the centre$0$, very conspicuous on$4$ one of 
118:098,19['  ]| his fingers. 
118:098,20[C  ]| "I never saw you wear a ring$0$ before$5$, $SS#B$Edward," 
118:098,20['  ]| she 
118:098,21['  ]| cried. 
118:098,21[C  ]| "Is that$6#2$ $SS#G$Fanny's hair?  I remember her 
118:098,22[C  ]| promising to$9$ give you some.  But I should have thought$1$ 
118:098,23[C  ]| her hair had been darker." 
118:098,24['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne spoke inconsiderately what she really felt ~~ 
118:098,25['  ]| but when she saw how much she had pained $SS#B$Edward, 
118:098,26['  ]| her own$2$ vexation at her want$0$ of thought$0$ could not be 
118:098,27['  ]| surpassed by$4$ his.  He coloured very deeply, and giving 
118:098,28['  ]| a momentary glance$0$ at $SS#A$Elinor, replied, 
118:098,28[B  ]| "Yes; it is 
118:098,29[B  ]| my sister's hair.  The setting always casts a different 
118:098,30[B  ]| shade on$4$ it you know." 
118:098,31['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had met his eye, and looked conscious likewise. 
118:098,32['  ]| That$3$ the hair was her own$2$, she instantaneously felt as 
118:098,33['  ]| well$5$ satisfied as $SS#C$Marianne; the only difference in$4$ their 
118:098,34['  ]| conclusions was, that$3$ what $SS#C$Marianne considered as a 
118:098,35['  ]| free gift from her sister, $SS#A$Elinor was conscious must have 
118:098,36['  ]| been procured by$4$ some theft or contrivance unknown to$4$ 
118:098,37['  ]| herself.  She was not in$4$ a humour, however, to$9$ regard$1$ 
118:098,38['  ]| it as an affront, and affecting to$9$ take no$2$ notice$0$ of what 
118:099,01['  ]| passed, by$4$ instantly talking of something else, she 
118:099,02['  ]| internally resolved henceforward to$9$ catch$1$ every opportunity 
118:099,03['  ]| of eyeing the hair and of satisfying herself, 
118:099,04['  ]| beyond$4$ all doubt$0$, that$3$ it was exactly the shade of her 
118:099,05['  ]| own$2$. 
118:099,06['  ]| $SS#B$Edward's embarrassment lasted some time, and it 
118:099,07['  ]| ended in$4$ an absence of mind$0$ still$5$ more settled.  He 
118:099,08['  ]| was particularly grave$2$ the whole$2$ morning.  $SS#C$Marianne 
118:099,09['  ]| severely censured herself for$4$ what she had said; but 
118:099,10['  ]| her own$2$ forgiveness might have been more speedy, 
118:099,11['  ]| had she known how little offence it had given her sister. 
118:099,12['  ]| Before$4$ the middle of the day, they were visited by$4$ 
118:099,13['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, who$6#1$, having heard of the 
118:099,14['  ]| arrival of a gentleman at the cottage, came to$9$ take 
118:099,15['  ]| a survey of the guest.  With the assistance of his mother-in-law, 
118:099,16['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John was not long in$4$ discovering that$3$ the 
118:099,17['  ]| name$0$ of $SS#B$Ferrars began with an $SS#B$F% and this prepared 
118:099,18['  ]| a future mine$0$ of raillery against the devoted $SS#A$Elinor, 
118:099,19['  ]| which$6#1$ nothing but the newness of their acquaintance 
118:099,20['  ]| with $SS#B$Edward could have prevented from being$1$ immediately 
118:099,21['  ]| sprung.  But, as it was, she only learned from some 
118:099,22['  ]| very significant looks$0$, how far their penetration, founded 
118:099,23['  ]| on$4$ $SS#E$Margaret's instructions, extended. 
118:099,24['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John never came to$4$ the $SS#D1$Dashwoods without 
118:099,25['  ]| either inviting them to$9$ dine at the park the next day, 
118:099,26['  ]| or to$9$ drink tea with them that$6#2$ evening.  On$4$ the present$2$ 
118:099,27['  ]| occasion$0$, for$4$ the better entertainment of their visitor, 
118:099,28['  ]| towards whose$6#1$ amusement he felt himself bound to$9$ 
118:099,29['  ]| contribute, he wished to$9$ engage them for$4$ both. 
118:099,30[L  ]| "You \must\ drink tea with us to*night," 
118:099,30['  ]| said he, 
118:099,30[L  ]| "for$3$ 
118:099,31[L  ]| we shall be quite alone ~~ and to-morrow you must 
118:099,32[L  ]| absolutely dine with us, for$3$ we shall be a large party." 
118:099,33['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings enforced the necessity. 
118:099,33[K  ]| "And who$6#2$ 
118:099,34[K  ]| knows but you may$1$ raise a dance$0$," 
118:099,34['  ]| said she. 
118:099,34[K  ]| "And 
118:099,35[K  ]| that$6#2$ will$1$ tempt \you\, $SS#C$Miss*Marianne." 
118:099,36[C  ]| "A dance$0$!" 
118:099,36['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne. 
118:099,36[C  ]| "Impossible!  Who$6#2$ 
118:099,37[C  ]| is to$9$ dance$1$?" 
118:099,38[K  ]| "Who$6#2$! why yourselves, and the $SS#ZE$Careys, and 
118:100,01[K  ]| $SS#ZZK$Whitakers to$9$ be sure. ~~ What! you thought$1$ nobody 
118:100,02[K  ]| could dance$1$ because a certain person that$6#1$ shall be 
118:100,03[K  ]| nameless is gone!" 
118:100,04[L  ]| "I wish$1$ with all my soul," 
118:100,04['  ]| cried $SS#L$Sir*John, 
118:100,04[L  ]| "that$6#2$ 
118:100,05[L  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby were among us again." 
118:100,06['  ]| This, and $SS#C$Marianne's blushing, gave new suspicions 
118:100,07['  ]| to$4$ $SS#B$Edward. 
118:100,08[B  ]| "And who$6#2$ is $SS#R$Willoughby?" 
118:100,08['  ]| said he, in$4$ 
118:100,09['  ]| a low voice, to$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, by$4$ whom$6#1$ he was sitting. 
118:100,10['  ]| She gave him a brief reply$0$.  $SS#C$Marianne's countenance 
118:100,11['  ]| was more communicative.  $SS#B$Edward saw enough to$9$ 
118:100,12['  ]| comprehend, not only the meaning of others, but such 
118:100,13['  ]| of $SS#C$Marianne's expressions as had puzzled him before$5$; 
118:100,14['  ]| and when their visitors left them, he went immediately 
118:100,15['  ]| round$5$ to$4$ her and said, in$4$ a whisper$0$, 
118:100,15[B  ]| "I have been 
118:100,16[B  ]| guessing.  Shall I tell you my guess$0$?" 
118:100,17[C  ]| "What do you mean$1$?" 
118:100,18[B  ]| "Shall I tell you?" 
118:100,19[C  ]| "Certainly." 
118:100,20[B  ]| "Well$7$ then; I guess$1$ that$3$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby hunts." 
118:100,21['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was surprised and confused, yet she could 
118:100,22['  ]| not help$1$ smiling at the quiet$2$ archness of his manner, 
118:100,23['  ]| and, after$4$ a moment's silence$0$, said, 
118:100,24[C  ]| "Oh! $SS#B$Edward! How can you? ~~ But the time will$1$ 
118:100,25[C  ]| come I hope$1$ ~~ I am sure you will$1$ like$1$ him." 
118:100,26[B  ]| "I do not doubt$1$ it," 
118:100,26['  ]| replied he, rather astonished 
118:100,27['  ]| at her earnestness and warmth; for$3$ had he not imagined 
118:100,28['  ]| it to$9$ be a joke for$4$ the good of her acquaintance in$4$ general$0$, 
118:100,29['  ]| founded only on$4$ a something or a nothing between 
118:100,30['  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby and herself, he would not have ventured 
118:100,31['  ]| to$9$ mention$1$ it. 
119:101,01['  ]| $SS#B$Edward remained a week at the cottage; he was 
119:101,02['  ]| earnestly pressed by$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood to$9$ stay$1$ longer; but 
119:101,03['  ]| as if he were bent only on$4$ self-mortification, he seemed 
119:101,04['  ]| resolved to$9$ be gone when his enjoyment among his 
119:101,05['  ]| friends was at the height.  His spirits, during the last$2$ 
119:101,06['  ]| two or three days, though still$5$ very unequal, were greatly 
119:101,07['  ]| improved ~~ he grew more and more partial to$4$ the house 
119:101,08['  ]| and environs ~~ never spoke of going away without 
119:101,09['  ]| a sigh$0$ ~~ declared 
119:101,09@b   | his time to$9$ be wholly disengaged ~~ 
119:101,10@b   | even$5$ doubted to$4$ what place$0$ he should go when he left 
119:101,11@b   | them ~~ but still$5$, go he must.  Never had any week 
119:101,12@b   | passed so$5#1$ quickly ~~ he could hardly believe it to$9$ be gone. 
119:101,13['  ]| He said so$5#2$ repeatedly; other things he said too$5#2$, which$6#1$ 
119:101,14['  ]| marked the turn$0$ of his feelings and gave the lie$0$ to$4$ his 
119:101,15['  ]| actions. 
119:101,15@b   | He had no$2$ pleasure at Norland; he detested 
119:101,16@b   | being$1$ in$4$ town; but either to$4$ Norland or London, he 
119:101,17@b   | must go.  He valued their kindness beyond$4$ any*thing, 
119:101,18@b   | and his greatest happiness was in$4$ being$1$ with them. 
119:101,18['  ]| Yet 
119:101,19['  ]| he must leave$1$ them at the end$0$ of a week, in$4$ spite$8$ of 
119:101,20['  ]| their wishes$0$ and his own$2$, and without any restraint 
119:101,21['  ]| on$4$ his time. 
119:101,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor placed all that$6#1$ was astonishing in$4$ this way of 
119:101,23['  ]| acting to$4$ his mother's account$0$; and it was happy for$4$ 
119:101,24['  ]| her that$3$ he had a mother whose$6#1$ character was so$5#1$ 
119:101,25['  ]| imperfectly known to$4$ her, as to$9$ be the general$2$ excuse$0$ 
119:101,26['  ]| for$4$ every*thing strange on$4$ the part$0$ of her son.  Disappointed, 
119:101,27['  ]| however, and vexed as she was, and sometimes 
119:101,28['  ]| displeased with his uncertain behaviour to$4$ herself, 
119:101,29['  ]| she was very well$5$ disposed on$4$ the whole$0$ to$9$ regard$1$ his 
119:101,30['  ]| actions with all the candid allowances and generous 
119:101,31['  ]| qualifications, which$6#1$ had been rather more painfully 
119:101,32['  ]| extorted from her, for$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby's service, by$4$ her 
119:101,33['  ]| mother.  His want$0$ of spirits, of openness, and of 
119:102,01['  ]| consistency, were most usually attributed to$4$ his want$0$ 
119:102,02['  ]| of independence, and his better knowledge of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's 
119:102,03['  ]| disposition and designs. 
119:102,03@a   | The shortness of 
119:102,04@a   | his visit$0$, the steadiness of his purpose in$4$ leaving them, 
119:102,05@a   | originated in$4$ the same fettered inclination, the same 
119:102,06@a   | inevitable necessity of temporising with his mother. 
119:102,07@a   | The old, well$5$ established grievance of duty against will$0$, 
119:102,08@a   | parent against child, was the cause of all. 
119:102,09['  ]| She would 
119:102,09['  ]| have been glad to$9$ know when these difficulties were to$9$ 
119:102,10['  ]| cease, this opposition was to$9$ yield, ~~ when $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars 
119:102,11['  ]| would be reformed, and her son be at liberty to$9$ be 
119:102,12['  ]| happy.  But from such vain wishes$0$, she was forced to$9$ 
119:102,13['  ]| turn$1$ for$4$ comfort$0$ to$4$ the renewal of her confidence in$4$ 
119:102,14['  ]| $SS#B$Edward's affection, to$4$ the remembrance of every mark$0$ 
119:102,15['  ]| of regard$0$ in$4$ look$0$ or word which$6#1$ fell from him while$3$ at 
119:102,16['  ]| Barton, and above$4$ all to$4$ that$6#2$ flattering proof of it 
119:102,17['  ]| which$6#1$ he constantly wore round$4$ his finger. 
119:102,18[D  ]| "I think, $SS#B$Edward," 
119:102,18['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, as they 
119:102,19['  ]| were at breakfast$0$ the last$2$ morning, 
119:102,19[D  ]| "you would be 
119:102,20[D  ]| a happier man if you had any profession$0#2$ to$9$ engage 
119:102,21[D  ]| your time and give an interest$0$ of your plans and actions. 
119:102,22[D  ]| Some inconvenience to$4$ your friends, indeed, might 
119:102,23[D  ]| result$1$ from it ~~ you would not be able to$9$ give them so$5#1$ 
119:102,24[D  ]| much of your time.  But 
119:102,24['  ]| (with a smile$0$) 
119:102,24[D  ]| you would be 
119:102,25[D  ]| materially benefited in$4$ one particular at least ~~ you 
119:102,26[D  ]| would know where to$9$ go when you left them." 
119:102,27[B  ]| "I do assure you," 
119:102,27['  ]| he replied, 
119:102,27[B  ]| "that$3$ I have long 
119:102,28[B  ]| thought$1$ on$4$ this point$0$, as you think now.  It has been, 
119:102,29[B  ]| and is, and probably will$1$ always be a heavy misfortune 
119:102,30[B  ]| to$4$ me, that$3$ I have had no$2$ necessary business to$9$ engage 
119:102,31[B  ]| me, no$2$ profession$0#2$ to$9$ give me employment, or afford me 
119:102,32[B  ]| any*thing like$4$ independence.  But unfortunately my 
119:102,33[B  ]| own$2$ nicety, and the nicety of my friends, have made me 
119:102,34[B  ]| what I am, an idle, helpless being$0$.  We never could 
119:102,35[B  ]| agree in$4$ our choice$0$ of a profession$0#2$.  I always preferred 
119:102,36[B  ]| the church, as I still$5$ do.  But that$6#2$ was not smart enough 
119:102,37[B  ]| for$4$ my family.  They recommended the army.  That$6#2$ 
119:102,38[B  ]| was a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ smart for$4$ me.  The law was allowed 
119:103,01[B  ]| to$9$ be genteel enough; many young men, who$6#1$ had 
119:103,02[B  ]| chambers in$4$ the Temple, made a very good appearance 
119:103,03[B  ]| in$4$ the first circles, and drove about$4$ town in$4$ very knowing 
119:103,04[B  ]| gigs.  But I had no$2$ inclination for$4$ the law, even$5$ in$4$ this 
119:103,05[B  ]| less abstruse study$0$ of it, which$6#1$ my family approved. 
119:103,06[B  ]| As for$4$ the navy, it had fashion$0$ on$4$ its side$0$, but I was too$5#1$ 
119:103,07[B  ]| old when the subject$0$ was first started to$9$ enter it ~~ and, 
119:103,08[B  ]| at length, as there was no$2$ necessity for$4$ my having any 
119:103,09[B  ]| profession$0#2$ at all, as I might be as dashing and expensive 
119:103,10[B  ]| without a red coat on$4$ my back$0$ as with one, idleness was 
119:103,11[B  ]| pronounced on$4$ the whole$0$ to$9$ be the most advantageous 
119:103,12[B  ]| and honourable, and a young man of eighteen is not in$4$ 
119:103,13[B  ]| general$0$ so$5#1$ earnestly bent on$4$ being$1$ busy as to$9$ resist the 
119:103,14[B  ]| solicitations of his friends to$9$ do nothing.  I was therefore 
119:103,15[B  ]| entered at Oxford and have been properly idle ever 
119:103,16[B  ]| since." 
119:103,17[D  ]| "The consequence of which$6#1$, I suppose, will$1$ be," 
119:103,18['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
119:103,18[D  ]| "since leisure has not promoted 
119:103,19[D  ]| your own$2$ happiness, that$3$ your sons will$1$ be brought up$5$ 
119:103,20[D  ]| to$4$ as many pursuits, employments, professions, and 
119:103,21[D  ]| trades as $SS#Z2$Columella's." 
119:103,22[B  ]| "They will$1$ be brought up$5$," 
119:103,22['  ]| said he, in$4$ a serious$2$ 
119:103,23['  ]| accent, 
119:103,23[B  ]| "to$9$ be as unlike myself as is possible.  In$4$ feeling, 
119:103,24[B  ]| in$4$ action, in$4$ condition$0$, in$4$ every*thing." 
119:103,25[D  ]| "Come, come; this is all an effusion of immediate 
119:103,26[D  ]| want$0$ of spirits, $SS#B$Edward.  You are in$4$ a melancholy$2$ 
119:103,27[D  ]| humour, and fancy$1$ that$3$ any*one unlike yourself must 
119:103,28[D  ]| be happy.  But remember that$3$ the pain$0$ of parting from 
119:103,29[D  ]| friends will$1$ be felt by$4$ every*body at times, whatever 
119:103,30[D  ]| be their education or state$0$.  Know your own$2$ happiness. 
119:103,31[D  ]| You want$1$ nothing but patience ~~ or give it a more 
119:103,32[D  ]| fascinating name$0$, call$1$ it hope$0$.  Your mother will$1$ secure$1$ 
119:103,33[D  ]| to$4$ you, in$4$ time, that$6#2$ independence you are so$5#1$ anxious for$4$; 
119:103,34[D  ]| it is her duty, and it will$1$, it must ere long become her happiness 
119:103,35[D  ]| to$9$ prevent your whole$2$ youth from being$1$ wasted in$4$ 
119:103,36[D  ]| discontent.  How much may$1$ not a few months do?" 
119:103,37[B  ]| "I think," 
119:103,37['  ]| replied $SS#B$Edward, 
119:103,37[B  ]| "that$3$ I may$1$ defy many 
119:103,38[B  ]| months to$9$ produce any good to$4$ me." 
119:104,01['  ]| This desponding turn$0$ of mind$0$, though it could not 
119:104,02['  ]| be communicated to$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, gave additional 
119:104,03['  ]| pain$0$ to$4$ them all in$4$ the parting, which$6#1$ shortly took place$0$, 
119:104,04['  ]| and left an uncomfortable impression on$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's feelings 
119:104,05['  ]| especially, which$6#1$ required some trouble$0$ and time to$9$ 
119:104,06['  ]| subdue.  But as it was her determination to$9$ subdue it, 
119:104,07['  ]| and to$9$ prevent herself from appearing to$9$ suffer more than 
119:104,08['  ]| what all her family suffered on$4$ his going away, she did 
119:104,09['  ]| not adopt the method so$5#1$ judiciously employed by$4$ 
119:104,10['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, on$4$ a similar occasion$0$, to$9$ augment and fix 
119:104,11['  ]| her sorrow, by$4$ seeking silence$0$, solitude, and idleness. 
119:104,12['  ]| Their means$0$ were as different as their objects$0$, and equally 
119:104,13['  ]| suited to$4$ the advancement of each. 
119:104,14['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor sat down$5$ to$4$ her drawing-table as soon as he 
119:104,15['  ]| was out$5$ of the house, busily employed herself the whole$2$ 
119:104,16['  ]| day, neither sought nor avoided the mention$0$ of his 
119:104,17['  ]| name$0$, appeared to$9$ interest$1$ herself almost as much as 
119:104,18['  ]| ever in$4$ the general$2$ concerns$0$ of the family, and if, by$4$ 
119:104,19['  ]| this conduct$0$, she did not lessen her own$2$ grief, it was at 
119:104,20['  ]| least prevented from unnecessary increase$0$, and her 
119:104,21['  ]| mother and sisters were spared much solicitude on$4$ her 
119:104,22['  ]| account$0$. 
119:104,23['  ]| Such behaviour as this, so$5#1$ exactly the reverse of her 
119:104,24['  ]| own$2$, appeared no$2$ more meritorious to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, than 
119:104,25['  ]| her own$2$ had seemed faulty to$4$ her.  The business of 
119:104,26['  ]| self-command she settled very easily; ~~ 
119:104,26@c   | with strong 
119:104,27@c   | affections it was impossible, with calm$2$ ones it could have 
119:104,28@c   | no$2$ merit$0$.  
119:104,28['  ]| That$3$ her sister's affections \were\ calm$2$, she 
119:104,29['  ]| dared not deny, though she blushed to$9$ acknowledge it; 
119:104,30['  ]| and of the strength of her own$2$, she gave a very striking 
119:104,31['  ]| proof, by$4$ still$5$ loving and respecting that$6#2$ sister, in$4$ spite$8$ 
119:104,32['  ]| of this mortifying conviction. 
119:104,33['  ]| Without shutting herself up$5$ from her family, or leaving 
119:104,34['  ]| the house in$4$ determined solitude to$9$ avoid them, or lying 
119:104,35['  ]| awake$2$ the whole$2$ night to$9$ indulge meditation, $SS#A$Elinor 
119:104,36['  ]| found every day afforded her leisure enough to$9$ think of 
119:104,37['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, and of $SS#B$Edward's behaviour, in$4$ every possible 
119:104,38['  ]| variety which$6#1$ the different state$0$ of her spirits at different 
119:105,01['  ]| times could produce; ~~ with tenderness, pity$0$, approbation, 
119:105,02['  ]| censure$0$, and doubt$0$.  There were moments in$4$ 
119:105,03['  ]| abundance, when, if not by$4$ the absence of her mother 
119:105,04['  ]| and sisters, at least by$4$ the nature of their employments, 
119:105,05['  ]| conversation was forbidden among them, and every 
119:105,06['  ]| effect$0$ of solitude was produced.  Her mind$0$ was inevitably 
119:105,07['  ]| at liberty; her thoughts could not be chained elsewhere; 
119:105,08['  ]| and the past$0$ and the future, on$4$ a subject$0$ so$5#1$ interesting, 
119:105,09['  ]| must be before$4$ her, must force$1$ her attention, and engross 
119:105,10['  ]| her memory, her reflection, and her fancy$0$. 
119:105,11['  ]| From a reverie of this kind$0$, as she sat at her drawing-table, 
119:105,12['  ]| she was roused one morning, soon after$4$ $SS#B$Edward's 
119:105,13['  ]| leaving them, by$4$ the arrival of company.  She happened 
119:105,14['  ]| to$9$ be quite alone.  The closing of the little gate, at the 
119:105,15['  ]| entrance of the green court$0$ in$4$ front$0$ of the house, drew 
119:105,16['  ]| her eyes to$4$ the window, and she saw a large party 
119:105,17['  ]| walking up$5$ to$4$ the door.  Amongst them were $SS#L$Sir*John 
119:105,18['  ]| and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, but there were 
119:105,19['  ]| two others, a gentleman and lady, who$6#1$ were quite 
119:105,20['  ]| unknown to$4$ her.  She was sitting near$4$ the window, and 
119:105,21['  ]| as soon as $SS#L$Sir*John perceived her, he left the rest$0#1$ of 
119:105,22['  ]| the party to$4$ the ceremony of knocking at the door, and 
119:105,23['  ]| stepping across$4$ the turf, obliged her to$9$ open$1$ the casement 
119:105,24['  ]| to$9$ speak to$4$ him, though the space was so$5#1$ short 
119:105,25['  ]| between the door and the window, as to$9$ make$1$ it hardly 
119:105,26['  ]| possible to$9$ speak at one without being$1$ heard at the other. 
119:105,27[L  ]| "Well$7$," 
119:105,27['  ]| said he, 
119:105,27[L  ]| "we have brought you some 
119:105,28[L  ]| strangers.  How do you like$1$ them?" 
119:105,29[A  ]| "Hush! they will$1$ hear you." 
119:105,30[L  ]| "Never mind$1$ if they do.  It is only the $SS#N1$Palmers. 
119:105,31[L  ]| $SS#O$Charlotte is very pretty$2$, I can tell you.  You may$1$ see 
119:105,32[L  ]| her if you look$1$ this way." 
119:105,33['  ]| As $SS#A$Elinor was certain of seeing her in$4$ a couple of 
119:105,34['  ]| minutes, without taking that$6#2$ liberty, she begged to$9$ 
119:105,35['  ]| be excused. 
119:105,36[L  ]| "Where is $SS#C$Marianne?  Has she run$1$ away because 
119:105,37[L  ]| we are come?  I see her instrument is open$2$." 
119:105,38[A  ]| "She is walking, I believe." 
119:106,01['  ]| They were now joined by$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, who$6#1$ had not 
119:106,02['  ]| patience enough to$9$ wait till the door was opened before$3$ 
119:106,03['  ]| she told \her\ story.  She came hallooing to$4$ the window, 
119:106,04[K  ]| "How do you do, my dear$2#1$?  How does $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
119:106,05[K  ]| do?  And where are your sisters?  What!  all alone! 
119:106,06[K  ]| you will$1$ be glad of a little company to$9$ sit with you. 
119:106,07[K  ]| I have brought my other son and daughter to$9$ see you. 
119:106,08[K  ]| Only think of their coming so$5#1$ suddenly!  I thought$1$ 
119:106,09[K  ]| I heard a carriage last$2$ night, while$3$ we were drinking 
119:106,10[K  ]| our tea, but it never entered my head$0$ that$3$ it could be 
119:106,11[K  ]| them.  I thought$1$ of nothing but whether it might not 
119:106,12[K  ]| be $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon come back$5$ again; so$3$ I said to$4$ 
119:106,13[K  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John, I do think I hear a carriage; perhaps it is 
119:106,14[K  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon come back$5$ again" ~~ 
119:106,15['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was obliged to$9$ turn$1$ from her, in$4$ the middle 
119:106,16['  ]| of her story, to$9$ receive the rest$0#1$ of the party; $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
119:106,17['  ]| introduced the two strangers; $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
119:106,18['  ]| and $SS#E$Margaret came down*stairs at the same time, 
119:106,19['  ]| and they all sat down$5$ to$9$ look$1$ at one another, while$3$ 
119:106,20['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings continued her story as she walked through$4$ 
119:106,21['  ]| the passage into the parlour, attended by$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John. 
119:106,22['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer was several years younger than $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
119:106,23['  ]| and totally unlike her in$4$ every respect$0$. 
119:106,24['  ]| She was short and plump, had a very pretty$2$ face$0$, and 
119:106,25['  ]| the finest expression of good*humour in$4$ it that$6#1$ could 
119:106,26['  ]| possibly be.  Her manners were by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ so$5#1$ elegant 
119:106,27['  ]| as her sister's, but they were much more prepossessing. 
119:106,28['  ]| She came in$5$ with a smile$0$, smiled all the time of her 
119:106,29['  ]| visit$0$, except when she laughed, and smiled when she 
119:106,30['  ]| went away.  Her husband was a grave looking young 
119:106,31['  ]| man of five or six*and*twenty, with an air of more 
119:106,32['  ]| fashion$0$ and sense than his wife, but of less willingness 
119:106,33['  ]| to$9$ please or be pleased.  He entered the room with 
119:106,34['  ]| a look$0$ of self-consequence, slightly bowed to$4$ the ladies, 
119:106,35['  ]| without speaking a word, and, after$4$ briefly surveying 
119:106,36['  ]| them and their apartments, took up$5$ a newspaper from 
119:106,37['  ]| the table and continued to$9$ read it as long as he staid. 
119:106,38['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer, on$4$ the contrary, who$6#1$ was strongly 
119:107,01['  ]| endowed by$4$ nature with a turn$0$ for$4$ being$1$ uniformly 
119:107,02['  ]| civil and happy, was hardly seated before$3$ her admiration 
119:107,03['  ]| of the parlour and every*thing in$4$ it burst$1$ forth. 
119:107,04[O  ]| "Well$7$! what a delightful room this is!  I never saw 
119:107,05[O  ]| anything so$5#1$ charming!  Only think, mama, how it is 
119:107,06[O  ]| improved since I was here last$2$!  I always thought$1$ it 
119:107,07[O  ]| such a sweet place$0$, ma'am! 
119:107,07['  ]| (turning to$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood,) 
119:107,08[O  ]| but you have made it so$5#1$ charming!  Only look$1$, sister, 
119:107,09[O  ]| how delightful every*thing is!  How I should like$1$ such 
119:107,10[O  ]| a house for$4$ myself!  Should not you, $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer?" 
119:107,11['  ]| $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer made her no$2$ answer$0$, and did not even$5$ 
119:107,12['  ]| raise his eyes from the newspaper. 
119:107,13[O  ]| "$SS#N$Mr%*Palmer does not hear me," 
119:107,13['  ]| said she, laughing, 
119:107,14[O  ]| "he never does sometimes.  It is so$5#1$ ridiculous!" 
119:107,15['  ]| This was quite a new idea to$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, she had 
119:107,16['  ]| never been used to$9$ find wit in$4$ the inattention of any*one, 
119:107,17['  ]| and could not help$1$ looking with surprise$0$ at them both. 
119:107,18['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, in$4$ the mean*time, talked on$5$ as loud as 
119:107,19['  ]| she could, and continued her account$0$ of their surprise$0$, 
119:107,20['  ]| the evening before$5$, on$4$ seeing their friends, without 
119:107,21['  ]| ceasing till every*thing was told.  $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer laughed 
119:107,22['  ]| heartily at the recollection of their astonishment, and 
119:107,23['  ]| every*body agreed, two or three times over, that$3$ 
119:107,23@y   | it 
119:107,24@y   | had been quite an agreeable surprise$0$. 
119:107,25[K  ]| "You may$1$ believe how glad we all were to$9$ see them," 
119:107,26['  ]| added $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, leaning forwards towards $SS#A$Elinor, 
119:107,27['  ]| and speaking in$4$ a low voice as if she meant to$9$ be heard 
119:107,28['  ]| by$4$ no*one else, though they were seated on$4$ different 
119:107,29['  ]| sides of the room; 
119:107,29[K  ]| "but, however, I can't help$1$ wishing 
119:107,30[K  ]| they had not travelled quite so$5#1$ fast, nor made such 
119:107,31[K  ]| a long journey of it, for$3$ they came all round$5$ by$4$ London 
119:107,32[K  ]| upon$4$ account$0$ of some business, for$3$ you know 
119:107,32['  ]| (nodding 
119:107,33['  ]| significantly and pointing to$4$ her daughter) 
119:107,33[K  ]| it was wrong 
119:107,34[K  ]| in$4$ her situation.  I wanted her to$9$ stay$1$ at home and 
119:107,35[K  ]| rest$1$ this morning, but she would come with us; she 
119:107,36[K  ]| longed so$5#1$ much to$9$ see you all!" 
119:107,37['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer laughed, and said 
119:107,37@o   | it would not do her 
119:107,38@o   | any harm$0$. 
119:108,01[K  ]| "She expects to$9$ be confined in$4$ February," 
119:108,01['  ]| continued 
119:108,02['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings. 
119:108,03['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton could no$2$ longer endure such a conversation, 
119:108,04['  ]| and therefore exerted herself to$9$ ask $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
119:108,05['  ]| if there was any news in$4$ the paper. 
119:108,06[N  ]| "No$7$, none at all," 
119:108,06['  ]| he replied, and read on$5$. 
119:108,07[L  ]| "Here comes $SS#C$Marianne," 
119:108,07['  ]| cried $SS#L$Sir*John. 
119:108,07[L  ]| "Now, 
119:108,08[L  ]| $SS#N$Palmer, you shall see a monstrous pretty$2$ girl." 
119:108,09['  ]| He immediately went into the passage, opened the 
119:108,10['  ]| front$2$ door, and ushered her in$4$ himself.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
119:108,11['  ]| asked her, as soon as she appeared, if she had not been 
119:108,12['  ]| to$4$ Allenham; and $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer laughed so$5#1$ heartily 
119:108,13['  ]| at the question$0$, as to$9$ shew$1$ she understood it.  $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
119:108,14['  ]| looked up$5$ on$4$ her entering the room, stared at 
119:108,15['  ]| her some minutes, and then returned to$4$ his newspaper. 
119:108,16['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's eye was now caught by$4$ the drawings 
119:108,17['  ]| which$6#1$ hung round$4$ the room.  She got up$5$ to$9$ examine 
119:108,18['  ]| them. 
119:108,19[O  ]| "Oh! dear$7$, how beautiful these are!  Well$7$! how 
119:108,20[O  ]| delightful!  Do but look$1$, mama, how sweet!  I declare 
119:108,21[O  ]| they are quite charming; I could look$1$ at them for*ever." 
119:108,22['  ]| And then sitting down$5$ again, she very soon 
119:108,23['  ]| forgot that$3$ there were any such things in$4$ the room. 
119:108,24['  ]| When $SS#M$Lady*Middleton rose$1$ to$9$ go away, $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
119:108,25['  ]| rose$1$ also, laid down$5$ the newspaper, stretched himself, 
119:108,26['  ]| and looked at them all round$5$. 
119:108,27[O  ]| "My love$0$, have you been asleep?" 
119:108,27['  ]| said his wife, 
119:108,28['  ]| laughing. 
119:108,29['  ]| He made her no$2$ answer$0$; and only observed, after$4$ 
119:108,30['  ]| again examining the room, that$3$ it was very low pitched, 
119:108,31['  ]| and that$3$ the ceiling was crooked.  He then made his 
119:108,32['  ]| bow$0#1$ and departed with the rest$0#1$. 
119:108,33['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John had been very urgent with them all to$9$ spend 
119:108,34['  ]| the next day at the park.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, who$6#1$ did not 
119:108,35['  ]| chuse to$9$ dine with them oftener than they dined at the 
119:108,36['  ]| cottage, absolutely refused on$4$ her own$2$ account$0$; her 
119:108,37['  ]| daughters might do as they pleased.  But they had no$2$ 
119:108,38['  ]| curiosity to$9$ see how $SS#N$Mr% and $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer ate their 
119:109,01['  ]| dinner, and no$2$ expectation of pleasure from them in$4$ 
119:109,02['  ]| any other way.  They attempted, therefore, likewise to$9$ 
119:109,03['  ]| excuse$1$ themselves; the weather was uncertain and not 
119:109,04['  ]| likely to$9$ be good.  But $SS#L$Sir*John would not be satisfied ~~ 
119:109,05['  ]| the carriage should be sent for$4$ them and they must come. 
119:109,06['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton too$5#2$, though she did not press$1$ their 
119:109,07['  ]| mother, pressed them.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings and $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer 
119:109,08['  ]| joined their entreaties, all seemed equally anxious to$9$ 
119:109,09['  ]| avoid a family party; and the young ladies were obliged 
119:109,10['  ]| to$9$ yield. 
119:109,11[C  ]| "Why should they ask us?" 
119:109,11['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, as soon 
119:109,12['  ]| as they were gone. 
119:109,12[C  ]| "The rent of this cottage is said to$9$ 
119:109,13[C  ]| be low; but we have it on$4$ very hard terms, if we are 
119:109,14[C  ]| to$9$ dine at the park whenever any*one is staying either 
119:109,15[C  ]| with them, or with us." 
119:109,16[A  ]| "They mean$1$ no$2$ less to$9$ be civil and kind$2$ to$4$ us now," 
119:109,17['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor," 
119:109,17[A  ]| by$4$ these frequent invitations than by$4$ 
119:109,18[A  ]| those which$6#1$ we received from them a few weeks ago. 
119:109,19[A  ]| The alteration is not in$4$ them, if their parties are grown 
119:109,20[A  ]| tedious and dull.  We must look$1$ for$4$ the change$0$ elsewhere." 
119:109,21[A  ]| 
120:110,01['  ]| As the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods entered the drawing-room 
120:110,02['  ]| of the park the next day, at one door, $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer 
120:110,03['  ]| came running in$5$ at the other, looking as good*humoured 
120:110,04['  ]| and merry as before$5$.  She took them all most affectionately 
120:110,05['  ]| by$4$ the hand$0$, and expressed great delight$0$ in$4$ seeing 
120:110,06['  ]| them again. 
120:110,07[O  ]| "I am so$5#1$ glad to$9$ see you!" 
120:110,07['  ]| said she, seating herself 
120:110,08['  ]| between $SS#A$Elinor and $SS#C$Marianne, 
120:110,08[O  ]| "for$3$ it is so$5#1$ bad a day 
120:110,09[O  ]| I was afraid you might not come, which$6#1$ would be 
120:110,10[O  ]| a shocking thing, as we go away again to-morrow.  We 
120:110,11[O  ]| must go, for$3$ the $SS#ZZJ$Westons come to$4$ us next week you 
120:110,12[O  ]| know.  It was quite a sudden$2$ thing our coming at all, 
120:110,13[O  ]| and I knew nothing of it till the carriage was coming to$4$ 
120:110,14[O  ]| the door, and then $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer asked me if I would 
120:110,15[O  ]| go with him to$4$ Barton.  He is so$5#1$ droll!  He never tells 
120:110,16[O  ]| me any*thing!  I am so$5#1$ sorry we cannot stay$1$ longer; 
120:110,17[O  ]| however we shall meet$1$ again in$4$ town very soon, I hope$1$." 
120:110,18['  ]| They were obliged to$9$ put an end$0$ to$4$ such an expectation. 
120:110,19[O  ]| "Not go to$4$ town!" 
120:110,19['  ]| cried $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer, with a laugh$0$, 
120:110,20[O  ]| "I shall be quite disappointed if you do not.  I could 
120:110,21[O  ]| get the nicest house in$4$ the world for$4$ you, next door to$4$ 
120:110,22[O  ]| our's, in$4$ Hanover-square.  You must come, indeed. 
120:110,23[O  ]| I am sure I shall be very happy to$9$ chaperon you at any 
120:110,24[O  ]| time till I am confined, if $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood should not 
120:110,25[O  ]| like$1$ to$9$ go into public$0$." 
120:110,26['  ]| They thanked her; but were obliged to$9$ resist all 
120:110,27['  ]| her entreaties. 
120:110,28[O  ]| "Oh! my love$0$," 
120:110,28['  ]| cried $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer to$4$ her husband, 
120:110,29['  ]| who$6#1$ just$5$ then entered the room ~~ 
120:110,29[O  ]| "You must help$1$ me 
120:110,30[O  ]| persuade the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods to$9$ go to$4$ town this winter." 
120:110,31['  ]| Her love$0$ made no$2$ answer$0$; and after$4$ slightly bowing 
120:110,32['  ]| to$4$ the ladies, began complaining of the weather. 
120:110,33[N  ]| "How horrid all this is!" 
120:110,33['  ]| said he. 
120:110,33[N  ]| "Such weather 
120:111,01[N  ]| makes every*thing and every*body disgusting.  Dulness 
120:111,02[N  ]| is as much produced within doors as without, by$4$ rain$0$. 
120:111,03[N  ]| It makes one detest all one's acquaintance.  What the 
120:111,04[N  ]| devil does $SS#L$Sir*John mean$1$ by$4$ not having a billiard*room 
120:111,05[N  ]| in$4$ his house?  How few people know what comfort$0$ is! 
120:111,06[N  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John is as stupid as the weather." 
120:111,07['  ]| The rest$0#1$ of the company soon dropt in$5$. 
120:111,08[L  ]| "I am afraid, $SS#C$Miss*Marianne," 
120:111,08['  ]| said $SS#L$Sir*John, 
120:111,08[L  ]| "you 
120:111,09[L  ]| have not been able to$9$ take your usual walk$0$ to$4$ Allenham 
120:111,10[L  ]| to-day." 
120:111,11['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne looked very grave$2$ and said nothing. 
120:111,12[O  ]| "Oh! don't be so$5#1$ sly before$4$ us," 
120:111,12['  ]| said $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer; 
120:111,13[O  ]| "for$3$ we know all about$4$ it, I assure you; and I admire 
120:111,14[O  ]| your taste very much, for$3$ I think he is extremely handsome. 
120:111,15[O  ]| We do not live a great way from him in$4$ the 
120:111,16[O  ]| country, you know.  Not above$4$ ten miles, I dare$1#2$ say." 
120:111,17[N  ]| "Much nearer thirty," 
120:111,17['  ]| said her husband. 
120:111,18[O  ]| "Ah! well$7$! there is not much difference.  I never 
120:111,19[O  ]| was at his house; but they say it is a sweet pretty$2$ 
120:111,20[O  ]| place$0$." 
120:111,21[N  ]| "As vile a spot as I ever saw in$4$ my life," 
120:111,21['  ]| said $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer. 
120:111,22['  ]| 
120:111,23['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne remained perfectly silent, though her 
120:111,24['  ]| countenance betrayed her interest$0$ in$4$ what was said. 
120:111,25[O  ]| "Is it very ugly?" 
120:111,25['  ]| continued $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer ~~ 
120:111,25[O  ]| "then 
120:111,26[O  ]| it must be some other place$0$ that$6#1$ is so$5#1$ pretty$2$ I suppose." 
120:111,27['  ]| When they were seated in$4$ the dining*room, $SS#L$Sir*John 
120:111,28['  ]| observed with regret$0$ that$3$ they were only eight altogether. 
120:111,29[L  ]| "My dear$2#1$," 
120:111,29['  ]| said he to$4$ his lady, 
120:111,29[L  ]| "it is very provoking 
120:111,30[L  ]| that$3$ we should be so$5#1$ few.  Why did not you ask the 
120:111,31[L  ]| $SS#ZP$Gilberts to$9$ come to$4$ us to-day?" 
120:111,32[M  ]| "Did not I tell you, $SS#L$Sir*John, when you spoke to$4$ 
120:111,33[M  ]| me about$4$ it before$5$, that$3$ it could not be done?  They 
120:111,34[M  ]| dined with us last$2$." 
120:111,35[K  ]| "You and I, $SS#L$Sir*John," 
120:111,35['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
120:111,35[K  ]| "should 
120:111,36[K  ]| not stand$1$ upon$4$ such ceremony." 
120:111,37[N  ]| "Then you would be very ill-bred," 
120:111,37['  ]| cried $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer. 
120:111,38[O  ]| "My love$0$, you contradict every*body," ~~ 
120:111,38['  ]| said his 
120:112,01['  ]| wife with her usual laugh$0$. 
120:112,01[O  ]| "Do you know that$3$ you are 
120:112,02[O  ]| quite rude?" 
120:112,03[N  ]| "I did not know I contradicted any*body in$4$ calling 
120:112,04[N  ]| your mother ill-bred." 
120:112,05[K  ]| "Aye, you may$1$ abuse me as you please," 
120:112,05['  ]| said the 
120:112,06['  ]| good-natured old lady, 
120:112,06[K  ]| "you have taken $SS#O$Charlotte off 
120:112,07[K  ]| my hands, and cannot give her back$5$ again.  So$3$ there 
120:112,08[K  ]| I have the whip hand$0$ of you." 
120:112,09['  ]| $SS#O$Charlotte laughed heartily to$9$ think that$3$ her husband 
120:112,10['  ]| could not get rid of her; and exultingly said, 
120:112,10@o   | she did 
120:112,11@o   | not care$1$ how cross$2$ he was to$4$ her, as they must live 
120:112,12@o   | together. 
120:112,12['  ]| It was impossible for$4$ any*one to$9$ be more 
120:112,13['  ]| thoroughly good-natured, or more determined to$9$ be 
120:112,14['  ]| happy than $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer.  The studied indifference, 
120:112,15['  ]| insolence, and discontent of her husband gave her no$2$ 
120:112,16['  ]| pain$0$:  and when he scolded or abused her, she was 
120:112,17['  ]| highly diverted. 
120:112,18[O  ]| "$SS#N$Mr%*Palmer is so$5#1$ droll!" 
120:112,18['  ]| said she, in$4$ a whisper$0$, 
120:112,19['  ]| to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor. 
120:112,19[O  ]| "He is always out$5$ of humour." 
120:112,20['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was not inclined, after$4$ a little observation, to$9$ 
120:112,21['  ]| give him credit$0$ for$4$ being$1$ so$5#1$ genuinely and unaffectedly 
120:112,22['  ]| ill-natured or ill-bred as he wished to$9$ appear.  His 
120:112,23['  ]| temper might perhaps be a little soured by$4$ finding, like$4$ 
120:112,24['  ]| many others of his sex, that$3$ through$4$ some unaccountable 
120:112,25['  ]| bias$0$ in$4$ favour$0$ of beauty, he was the husband of a very 
120:112,26['  ]| silly woman, ~~ but she knew that$3$ 
120:112,26@a   | this kind$0$ of blunder$0$ 
120:112,27@a   | was too$5#1$ common$2$ for$4$ any sensible$2#2$ man to$9$ be lastingly 
120:112,28@a   | hurt by$4$ it. ~~ It was rather a wish$0$ of distinction she 
120:112,29@a   | believed, which$6#1$ produced his contemptuous treatment 
120:112,30@a   | of every*body, and his general$2$ abuse of every*thing 
120:112,31@a   | before$4$ him.  It was the desire$0$ of appearing superior to$4$ 
120:112,32@a   | other people.  The motive was too$5#1$ common$2$ to$9$ be wondered 
120:112,33@a   | at; but the means$0$, however they might succeed 
120:112,34@a   | by$4$ establishing his superiority in$4$ ill-breeding, were not 
120:112,35@a   | likely to$9$ attach any*one to$4$ him except his wife. 
120:112,36[O  ]| "Oh! my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood," 
120:112,36['  ]| said $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer 
120:112,37['  ]| soon afterwards, 
120:112,37[O  ]| "I have got such a favour$0$ to$9$ ask of 
120:112,38[O  ]| you and your sister.  Will$1$ you come and spend some 
120:113,01[O  ]| time at Cleveland this Christmas?  Now, pray do, ~~ 
120:113,02[O  ]| and come while$3$ the $SS#ZZJ$Westons are with us.  You cannot 
120:113,03[O  ]| think how happy I shall be!  It will$1$ be quite delightful! 
120:113,04[O  ]| ~~ My love$0$," 
120:113,04['  ]| applying to$4$ her husband, 
120:113,04[O  ]| "don't you 
120:113,05[O  ]| long to$9$ have the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods come to$4$ Cleveland?" 
120:113,06[N  ]| "Certainly," ~~ 
120:113,06['  ]| he replied with a sneer ~~ 
120:113,06[N  ]| "I came into 
120:113,07[N  ]| Devonshire with no$2$ other view$0$." 
120:113,08[O  ]| "There now" ~~ 
120:113,08['  ]| said his lady, 
120:113,08[O  ]| "you see $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
120:113,09[O  ]| expects you; so$3$ you cannot refuse to$9$ come." 
120:113,10['  ]| They both eagerly and resolutely declined her invitation. 
120:113,11['  ]| 
120:113,12[O  ]| "But indeed you must and shall come.  I am sure 
120:113,13[O  ]| you will$1$ like$1$ it of all things.  The $SS#ZZJ$Westons will$1$ be with 
120:113,14[O  ]| us, and it will$1$ be quite delightful.  You cannot think 
120:113,15[O  ]| what a sweet place$0$ Cleveland is; and we are so$5#1$ gay 
120:113,16[O  ]| now, for$3$ $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer is always going about$4$ the country 
120:113,17[O  ]| canvassing against the election; and so$5#1$ many people 
120:113,18[O  ]| come to$9$ dine with us that$6#1$ I never saw before$5$, it is quite 
120:113,19[O  ]| charming!  But, poor fellow!  it is very fatiguing to$4$ 
120:113,20[O  ]| him!  for$3$ he is forced to$9$ make$1$ every*body like$1$ him." 
120:113,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could hardly keep her countenance as she 
120:113,22['  ]| assented to$4$ the hardship of such an obligation. 
120:113,23[O  ]| "How charming it will$1$ be," 
120:113,23['  ]| said $SS#O$Charlotte, 
120:113,23[O  ]| "when he 
120:113,24[O  ]| is in$4$ Parliament! ~~ won't it?  How I shall laugh$1$!  It 
120:113,25[O  ]| will$1$ be so$5#1$ ridiculous to$9$ see all his letters directed to$4$ him 
120:113,26[O  ]| with an M%P% ~~ But do you know, he says, he will$1$ never 
120:113,27[O  ]| frank$1$ for$4$ me?  He declares he won't.  Don't you, 
120:113,28[O  ]| $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer?" 
120:113,29['  ]| $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer took no$2$ notice$0$ of her. 
120:113,30[O  ]| "He cannot bear$1$ writing, you know," 
120:113,30['  ]| she continued ~~ 
120:113,31[O  ]| "he says it is quite shocking." 
120:113,32[N  ]| "No$7$;" 
120:113,32['  ]| said he, 
120:113,32[N  ]| "I never said any*thing so$5#1$ irrational. 
120:113,33[N  ]| Don't palm all your abuses of language upon$4$ me." 
120:113,34[O  ]| "There now; you see how droll he is.  This is always 
120:113,35[O  ]| the way with him!  Sometimes he won't speak to$4$ me for$4$ 
120:113,36[O  ]| half a day together, and then he comes out$5$ with something 
120:113,37[O  ]| so$5#1$ droll ~~ all about$4$ any*thing in$4$ the world." 
120:113,38['  ]| She surprised $SS#A$Elinor very much as they returned into 
120:114,01['  ]| the drawing-room by$4$ asking her whether she did not 
120:114,02['  ]| like$1$ $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer excessively. 
120:114,03[A  ]| "Certainly;" 
120:114,03['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
120:114,03[A  ]| "he seems very agreeable." 
120:114,04[O  ]| "Well$7$ ~~ I am so$5#1$ glad you do.  I thought$1$ you would, 
120:114,05[O  ]| he is so$5#1$ pleasant; and $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer is excessively pleased 
120:114,06[O  ]| with you and your sisters I can tell you, and you can't 
120:114,07[O  ]| think how disappointed he will$1$ be if you don't come to$4$ 
120:114,08[O  ]| Cleveland. ~~ I can't imagine why you should object$1$ 
120:114,09[O  ]| to$4$ it." 
120:114,10['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was again obliged to$9$ decline her invitation; 
120:114,11['  ]| and by$4$ changing the subject$0$, put a stop$0$ to$4$ her entreaties. 
120:114,12['  ]| She thought$1$ it probable that$3$ as they lived in$4$ the same 
120:114,13['  ]| county, $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer might be able to$9$ give some more 
120:114,14['  ]| particular account$0$ of $SS#R$Willoughby's general$2$ character, 
120:114,15['  ]| than could be gathered from the $SS#L1$Middletons' partial 
120:114,16['  ]| acquaintance with him; and she was eager to$9$ gain$1$ from 
120:114,17['  ]| any*one, such a confirmation of his merits as might 
120:114,18['  ]| remove$1$ the possibility of fear$0$ for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  She began 
120:114,19['  ]| by$4$ inquiring if they saw much of $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby at 
120:114,20['  ]| Cleveland, and whether they were intimately acquainted 
120:114,21['  ]| with him. 
120:114,22[O  ]| "Oh! dear$7$, yes; I know him extremely well$5$," 
120:114,23['  ]| replied $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer ~~ 
120:114,23[O  ]| "Not that$3$ I ever spoke to$4$ him 
120:114,24[O  ]| indeed; but I have seen him for*ever in$4$ town.  Somehow 
120:114,25[O  ]| or other I never happened to$9$ be staying at Barton 
120:114,26[O  ]| while$3$ he was at Allenham.  Mama saw him here once 
120:114,27[O  ]| before$5$; ~~ but I was with my uncle at Weymouth. 
120:114,28[O  ]| However, I dare$1#2$ say we should have seen a great deal$0$ 
120:114,29[O  ]| of him in$4$ Somersetshire, if it had not happened very 
120:114,30[O  ]| unluckily that$3$ we should never have been in$4$ the country 
120:114,31[O  ]| together.  He is very little at Combe, I believe; but 
120:114,32[O  ]| if he were ever so$5#1$ much there, I do not think $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
120:114,33[O  ]| would visit$1$ him, for$3$ he is in$4$ the opposition you know, 
120:114,34[O  ]| and besides it is such a way off.  I know why you 
120:114,35[O  ]| inquire about$4$ him, very well$5$; your sister is to$9$ marry 
120:114,36[O  ]| him.  I am monstrous glad of it, for$3$ then I shall have 
120:114,37[O  ]| her for$4$ a neighbour you know." 
120:114,38[A  ]| "Upon$4$ my word," 
120:114,38['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
120:114,38[A  ]| "you know much 
120:115,01[A  ]| more of the matter than I do, if you have any reason$0$ to$9$ 
120:115,02[A  ]| expect such a match$0$." 
120:115,03[O  ]| "Don't pretend to$9$ deny it, because you know it is 
120:115,04[O  ]| what every*body talks of.  I assure you I heard of it in$4$ 
120:115,05[O  ]| my way through$4$ town." 
120:115,06[A  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer!" 
120:115,07[O  ]| "Upon$4$ my honour$0$ I did. ~~ I met $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
120:115,08[O  ]| Monday morning in$4$ Bond-street, just$5$ before$3$ we left 
120:115,09[O  ]| town, and he told me of it directly." 
120:115,10[A  ]| "You surprise$1$ me very much.  $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon tell 
120:115,11[A  ]| you of it!  Surely you must be mistaken.  To$9$ give such 
120:115,12[A  ]| intelligence to$4$ a person who$6#1$ could not be interested in$4$ 
120:115,13[A  ]| it, even$5$ if it were true, is not what I should expect 
120:115,14[A  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon to$9$ do." 
120:115,15[O  ]| "But I do assure you it was so$5#2$, for$4$ all that$6#2$, and I will$1$ 
120:115,16[O  ]| tell you how it happened.  When we met him, he turned 
120:115,17[O  ]| back$5$ and walked with us; and so$3$ we began talking of 
120:115,18[O  ]| my brother and sister, and one thing and another, and 
120:115,19[O  ]| I said to$4$ him, ""So$3$, $SS#H$Colonel, there is a new family come 
120:115,20[O  ]| to$4$ Barton*cottage, I hear, and mama sends me word 
120:115,21[O  ]| they are very pretty$2$, and that$3$ one of them is going to$9$ 
120:115,22[O  ]| be married to$4$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby of Combe*Magna.  Is it 
120:115,23[O  ]| true, pray? for$3$ of course$8$ you must know, as you have 
120:115,24[O  ]| been in$4$ Devonshire so$5#1$ lately.""" 
120:115,25[A  ]| "And what did the $SS#H$Colonel say?" 
120:115,26[O  ]| "Oh! ~~ he did not say much; but he looked as if 
120:115,27[O  ]| he knew it to$9$ be true, so$3$ from that$6#2$ moment I set$1$ it down$5$ 
120:115,28[O  ]| as certain.  It will$1$ be quite delightful, I declare!  When 
120:115,29[O  ]| is it to$9$ take place$0$?" 
120:115,30[A  ]| "$SS#H$Mr%*Brandon was very well$5$ I hope$1$." 
120:115,31[O  ]| "Oh! yes, quite well$5$; and so$5#1$ full of your praises, 
120:115,32[O  ]| he did nothing but say fine things of you." 
120:115,33[A  ]| "I am flattered by$4$ his commendation.  He seems 
120:115,34[A  ]| an excellent man; and I think him uncommonly 
120:115,35[A  ]| pleasing." 
120:115,36[O  ]| "So$5#2$ do I. ~~ He is such a charming man, that$3$ it is 
120:115,37[O  ]| quite a pity$0$ he should be so$5#1$ grave$2$ and so$5#1$ dull.  Mama 
120:115,38[O  ]| says \he\ was in$4$ love$0$ with your sister too$5#2$. ~~ I assure you 
120:116,01[O  ]| it was a great compliment$0$ if he was, for$3$ he hardly ever 
120:116,02[O  ]| falls in$4$ love$0$ with any*body." 
120:116,03[A  ]| "Is $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby much known in$4$ your part$0$ of 
120:116,04[A  ]| Somersetshire?" 
120:116,04['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
120:116,05[O  ]| "Oh! yes, extremely well$5$; that$3$ is, I do not believe 
120:116,06[O  ]| many people are acquainted with him, because Combe*Magna 
120:116,07[O  ]| is so$5#1$ far off; but they all think him extremely 
120:116,08[O  ]| agreeable I assure you.  Nobody is more liked than 
120:116,09[O  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby wherever he goes, and so$5#2$ you may$1$ tell 
120:116,10[O  ]| your sister.  She is a monstrous lucky girl to$9$ get him, 
120:116,11[O  ]| upon$4$ my honour$0$; not but that$3$ he is much more lucky 
120:116,12[O  ]| in$4$ getting her, because she is so$5#1$ very handsome and 
120:116,13[O  ]| agreeable, that$3$ nothing can be good enough for$4$ her. 
120:116,14[O  ]| However I don't think her hardly at all handsomer 
120:116,15[O  ]| than you, I assure you; for$3$ I think you both excessively 
120:116,16[O  ]| pretty$2$, and so$5#2$ does $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer too$5#2$ I am sure, though 
120:116,17[O  ]| we could not get him to$9$ own$1$ it last$2$ night." 
120:116,18['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's information respecting $SS#R$Willoughby was 
120:116,19['  ]| not very material$2$; but any testimony in$4$ his favour$0$, 
120:116,20['  ]| however small, was pleasing to$4$ her. 
120:116,21[O  ]| "I am so$5#1$ glad we are got acquainted at last$0$," 
120:116,21['  ]| continued 
120:116,22['  ]| $SS#O$Charlotte. ~~ 
120:116,22[O  ]| "And now I hope$1$ we shall always 
120:116,23[O  ]| be great friends.  You can't think how much I longed 
120:116,24[O  ]| to$9$ see you!  It is so$5#1$ delightful that$3$ you should live at 
120:116,25[O  ]| the cottage!  Nothing can be like$4$ it to$9$ be sure!  And 
120:116,26[O  ]| I am so$5#1$ glad your sister is going to$9$ be well$5$ married! 
120:116,27[O  ]| I hope$1$ you will$1$ be a great deal$0$ at Combe*Magna.  It is 
120:116,28[O  ]| a sweet place$0$ by$4$ all accounts." 
120:116,29[A  ]| "You have been long acquainted with $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
120:116,30[A  ]| have not you?" 
120:116,31[O  ]| "Yes, a great while$0$; ever since my sister married. ~~ 
120:116,32[O  ]| He was a particular friend of $SS#L$Sir*John's.  I believe," 
120:116,33['  ]| she added in$4$ a low voice, 
120:116,33[O  ]| "he would have been very 
120:116,34[O  ]| glad to$9$ have had me, if he could.  $SS#L$Sir*John and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
120:116,35[O  ]| wished it very much.  But mama did not 
120:116,36[O  ]| think the match$0$ good enough for$4$ me, otherwise $SS#L$Sir*John 
120:116,37[O  ]| would have mentioned it to$4$ the $SS#H$Colonel, and we should 
120:116,38[O  ]| have been married immediately." 
120:117,01[A  ]| "Did not $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon know of $SS#L$Sir*John's proposal 
120:117,02[A  ]| to$4$ your mother before$3$ it was made?  Had he never 
120:117,03[A  ]| owned his affection to$4$ yourself?" 
120:117,04[O  ]| "Oh! no$7$; but if mama had not objected to$4$ it, 
120:117,05[O  ]| I dare$1#2$ say he would have liked it of all things.  He had 
120:117,06[O  ]| not seen me then above$4$ twice, for$3$ it was before$3$ I left 
120:117,07[O  ]| school.  However I am much happier as I am.  $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
120:117,08[O  ]| is just$5$ the kind$0$ of man I like$1$." 
121:118,01['  ]| The $SS#N1$Palmers returned to$4$ Cleveland the next day, and 
121:118,02['  ]| the two families at Barton were again left to$9$ entertain 
121:118,03['  ]| each other.  But this did not last$1$ long; $SS#A$Elinor had 
121:118,04['  ]| hardly got their last$2$ visitors out$5$ of her head$0$, had hardly 
121:118,05['  ]| done wondering at $SS#O$Charlotte's being$1$ so$5#1$ happy without 
121:118,06['  ]| a cause, at $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer's acting so$5#1$ simply, with good 
121:118,07['  ]| abilities, and at the strange unsuitableness which$6#1$ often 
121:118,08['  ]| existed between husband and wife, before$3$ $SS#L$Sir*John's and 
121:118,09['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's active zeal in$4$ the cause of society, procured 
121:118,10['  ]| her some other new acquaintance to$9$ see and observe. 
121:118,11['  ]| In$4$ a morning's excursion to$4$ Exeter, they had met with 
121:118,12['  ]| two young ladies, whom$6#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings had the satisfaction 
121:118,13['  ]| of discovering to$9$ be her relations, and this was 
121:118,14['  ]| enough for$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John to$9$ invite them directly to$4$ the park, 
121:118,15['  ]| as soon as their present$2$ engagements at Exeter were over. 
121:118,16['  ]| Their engagements at Exeter instantly gave way before$4$ 
121:118,17['  ]| such an invitation, and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was thrown 
121:118,18['  ]| into no$2$ little alarm$0$ on$4$ the return$0$ of $SS#L$Sir*John, by$4$ hearing 
121:118,19['  ]| that$3$ she was very soon to$9$ receive a visit$0$ from two girls 
121:118,20['  ]| whom$6#1$ she had never seen in$4$ her life, and of whose$6#1$ 
121:118,21['  ]| elegance, ~~ whose$6#1$ tolerable gentility even$5$, she could 
121:118,22['  ]| have no$2$ proof; for$3$ the assurances of her husband and 
121:118,23['  ]| mother on$4$ that$6#2$ subject$0$ went for$4$ nothing at all.  Their 
121:118,24['  ]| being$1$ her relations too$5#2$ made it so$5#1$ much the worse; and 
121:118,25['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's attempts at consolation were therefore 
121:118,26['  ]| unfortunately founded, when she advised her daughter 
121:118,27['  ]| not to$9$ care$1$ about$4$ their being$1$ so$5#1$ fashionable; because 
121:118,28['  ]| they were all cousins and must put up$5$ with one another. 
121:118,29['  ]| As it was impossible however now to$9$ prevent their 
121:118,30['  ]| coming, $SS#M$Lady*Middleton resigned herself to$4$ the idea of 
121:118,31['  ]| it, with all the philosophy of a well*bred woman, contenting 
121:118,32['  ]| herself with merely giving her husband a gentle 
121:118,33['  ]| reprimand on$4$ the subject$0$ five or six times every day. 
121:119,01['  ]| The young ladies arrived, their appearance was by$4$ 
121:119,02['  ]| no$2$ means$0$ ungenteel or unfashionable.  Their dress$0$ was 
121:119,03['  ]| very smart, their manners very civil, they were delighted 
121:119,04['  ]| with the house, and in$4$ raptures with the furniture, and 
121:119,05['  ]| they happened to$9$ be so$5#1$ doatingly fond of children that$3$ 
121:119,06['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's good opinion was engaged in$4$ their 
121:119,07['  ]| favour$0$ before$3$ they had been an hour at the Park.  She 
121:119,08['  ]| declared them to$9$ be 
121:119,08@m   | very agreeable girls indeed, 
121:119,08['  ]| which$6#1$ 
121:119,09['  ]| for$4$ her ladyship was enthusiastic admiration.  $SS#L$Sir*John's 
121:119,10['  ]| confidence in$4$ his own$2$ judgment rose$1$ with this animated 
121:119,11['  ]| praise$0$, and he set$1$ off directly for$4$ the cottage to$9$ tell the 
121:119,12['  ]| $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods of the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles' arrival, and to$9$ 
121:119,13['  ]| assure them of their being$1$ 
121:119,13@l   | the sweetest girls in$4$ the world. 
121:119,14['  ]| From such commendation as this, however, there was 
121:119,15['  ]| not much to$9$ be learned; $SS#A$Elinor well$5$ knew that$3$ the 
121:119,16['  ]| sweetest girls in$4$ the world were to$9$ be met with in$4$ every 
121:119,17['  ]| part$0$ of England, under every possible variation of form$0$, 
121:119,18['  ]| face$0$, temper, and understanding.  $SS#L$Sir*John wanted the 
121:119,19['  ]| whole$2$ family to$9$ walk$1$ to$4$ the Park directly and look$1$ at 
121:119,20['  ]| his guests.  Benevolent, philanthropic man!  It was 
121:119,21['  ]| painful to$4$ him even$5$ to$9$ keep a third cousin to$4$ himself. 
121:119,22[L  ]| "Do come now," 
121:119,22['  ]| said he ~~ 
121:119,22[L  ]| "pray come ~~ you must 
121:119,23[L  ]| come ~~ I declare you shall come ~~ You can't think how 
121:119,24[L  ]| you will$1$ like$1$ them.  $SS#Q$Lucy is monstrous pretty$2$, and so$5#1$ 
good*humoured 
121:119,25[L  ]| and agreeable!  The children are all hanging 
121:119,26[L  ]| about$4$ her already, as if she was an old acquaintance.  And 
121:119,27[L  ]| they both long to$9$ see you of all things, for$3$ they have heard 
121:119,28[L  ]| at Exeter that$3$ you are the most beautiful creatures in$4$ the 
121:119,29[L  ]| world; and I have told them it is all very true, and a great 
121:119,30[L  ]| deal$0$ more.  You will$1$ be delighted with them I am sure. 
121:119,31[L  ]| They have brought the whole$2$ coach full of playthings 
121:119,32[L  ]| for$4$ the children.  How can you be so$5#1$ cross$2$ as not to$9$ 
121:119,33[L  ]| come?  Why they are your cousins, you know, after$4$ 
121:119,34[L  ]| a fashion$0$.  \You\ are my cousins, and they are my wife's, 
121:119,35[L  ]| so$3$ you must be related." 
121:119,36['  ]| But $SS#L$Sir*John could not prevail.  He could only obtain a 
121:119,37['  ]| promise$0$ of their calling at the Park within a day or two, 
121:119,38['  ]| and then left them in$4$ amazement at their indifference, 
121:120,01['  ]| to$9$ walk$1$ home and boast$1$ anew of their attractions to$4$ 
121:120,02['  ]| the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, as he had been already boasting of the 
121:120,03['  ]| $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles to$4$ them. 
121:120,04['  ]| When their promised visit$0$ to$4$ the Park and consequent 
121:120,05['  ]| introduction to$4$ these young ladies took place$0$, they 
121:120,06['  ]| found in$4$ the appearance of the eldest, who$6#1$ was nearly 
121:120,07['  ]| thirty, with a very plain and not a sensible$2#2$ face$0$, nothing 
121:120,08['  ]| to$9$ admire; but in$4$ the other, who$6#1$ was not more than 
121:120,09['  ]| two or three*and*twenty, they acknowledged considerable 
121:120,10['  ]| beauty; her features were pretty$2$, and she had 
121:120,11['  ]| a sharp quick$2$ eye, and a smartness of air, which$6#1$ though 
121:120,12['  ]| it did not give actual elegance or grace$0$, gave distinction 
121:120,13['  ]| to$4$ her person. ~~ Their manners were particularly civil, 
121:120,14['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor soon allowed them credit$0$ for$4$ some kind$0$ of 
121:120,15['  ]| sense, when she saw with what constant and judicious 
121:120,16['  ]| attentions they were making themselves agreeable to$4$ 
121:120,17['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton.  With her children they were in$4$ 
121:120,18['  ]| continual raptures, extolling their beauty, courting 
121:120,19['  ]| their notice$0$, and humouring all their whims; and such 
121:120,20['  ]| of their time as could be spared from the importunate 
121:120,21['  ]| demands$0$ which$6#1$ this politeness made on$4$ it, was spent 
121:120,22['  ]| in$4$ admiration of whatever her ladyship was doing, if 
121:120,23['  ]| she happened to$9$ be doing any*thing, or in$4$ taking patterns 
121:120,24['  ]| of some elegant new dress$0$, in$4$ which$6#1$ her appearance the 
121:120,25['  ]| day before$5$ had thrown them into unceasing delight$0$. 
121:120,26['  ]| Fortunately for$4$ those who$6#1$ pay$1$ their court$0$ through$4$ such 
121:120,27['  ]| foibles, a fond mother, though, in$4$ pursuit of praise$0$ for$4$ 
121:120,28['  ]| her children, the most rapacious of human beings, is 
121:120,29['  ]| likewise the most credulous; her demands$0$ are exorbitant; 
121:120,30['  ]| but she will$1$ swallow any*thing; and the excessive 
121:120,31['  ]| affection and endurance of the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles towards 
121:120,32['  ]| her offspring, were viewed therefore by$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
121:120,33['  ]| without the smallest surprise$0$ or distrust$0$.  She saw with 
121:120,34['  ]| maternal complacency all the impertinent incroachments 
121:120,35['  ]| and mischievous tricks to$4$ which$6#1$ her cousins submitted. 
121:120,36['  ]| She saw their sashes untied, their hair pulled about$4$ their 
121:120,37['  ]| ears, their work-bags searched, and their knives and 
121:120,38['  ]| scissars stolen away, and felt no$2$ doubt$0$ of its being$1$ 
121:121,01['  ]| a reciprocal enjoyment.  It suggested no$2$ other surprise$0$ 
121:121,02['  ]| than that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor and $SS#C$Marianne should sit so$5#1$ composedly 
121:121,03['  ]| by$5$, without claiming a share$0$ in$4$ what was passing. 
121:121,04[M  ]| "$SS#M2$John is in$4$ such spirits to-day!" 
121:121,04['  ]| said she, on$4$ his 
121:121,05['  ]| taking $SS#P$Miss*Steele's pocket handkerchief, and throwing 
121:121,06['  ]| it out$5$ of the window ~~ 
121:121,06[M  ]| "He is full of monkey*tricks." 
121:121,07['  ]| And soon afterwards, on$4$ the second$2$ boy's violently 
121:121,08['  ]| pinching one of the same lady's fingers, she fondly 
121:121,09['  ]| observed, 
121:121,09[M  ]| "How playful $SS#M3$William is!" 
121:121,10[M  ]| "And here is my sweet little $SS#M4$Annamaria," 
121:121,10['  ]| she added, 
121:121,11['  ]| tenderly caressing a little girl of three years old, who$6#1$ had 
121:121,12['  ]| not made a noise for$4$ the last$2$ two minutes; 
121:121,12[M  ]| "And she 
121:121,13[M  ]| is always so$5#1$ gentle and quiet$2$ ~~ Never was there such 
121:121,14[M  ]| a quiet$2$ little thing!" 
121:121,15['  ]| But unfortunately in$4$ bestowing these embraces, a pin 
121:121,16['  ]| in$4$ her ladyship's head*dress slightly scratching the child's 
121:121,17['  ]| neck, produced from this pattern of gentleness, such 
121:121,18['  ]| violent screams, as could hardly be outdone by$4$ any 
121:121,19['  ]| creature professedly noisy.  The mother's consternation 
121:121,20['  ]| was excessive; but it could not surpass the alarm$0$ of 
121:121,21['  ]| the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, and every*thing was done by$4$ all three, 
121:121,22['  ]| in$4$ so$5#1$ critical an emergency, which$6#1$ affection could suggest 
121:121,23['  ]| as likely to$9$ assuage the agonies of the little sufferer. 
121:121,24['  ]| She was seated in$4$ her mother's lap, covered with kisses, 
121:121,25['  ]| her wound$0$ bathed with lavender-water, by$4$ one of the 
121:121,26['  ]| $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, who$6#1$ was on$4$ her knees to$9$ attend her, and her 
121:121,27['  ]| mouth stuffed with sugar plums by$4$ the other.  With 
121:121,28['  ]| such a reward$0$ for$4$ her tears, the child was too$5#1$ wise to$9$ 
121:121,29['  ]| cease crying.  She still$5$ screamed and sobbed lustily, 
121:121,30['  ]| kicked her two brothers for$4$ offering to$9$ touch$1$ her, and all 
121:121,31['  ]| their united soothings were ineffectual till $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
121:121,32['  ]| luckily remembering that$3$ in$4$ a scene of similar distress$0$ 
121:121,33['  ]| last$2$ week, some apricot marmalade had been successfully 
121:121,34['  ]| applied for$4$ a bruised temple, the same remedy was 
121:121,35['  ]| eagerly proposed for$4$ this unfortunate scratch, and a 
121:121,36['  ]| slight$2$ intermission of screams in$4$ the young lady on$4$ 
121:121,37['  ]| hearing it, gave them reason$0$ to$9$ hope$1$ that$3$ it would not 
121:121,38['  ]| be rejected. ~~ She was carried out$5$ of the room therefore 
121:122,01['  ]| in$4$ her mother's arms, in$4$ quest of this medicine, and as 
121:122,02['  ]| the two boys chose to$9$ follow, though earnestly entreated 
121:122,03['  ]| by$4$ their mother to$9$ stay$1$ behind, the four young ladies 
121:122,04['  ]| were left in$4$ a quietness which$6#1$ the room had not known 
121:122,05['  ]| for$4$ many hours. 
121:122,06[P  ]| "Poor little creature!" 
121:122,06['  ]| said $SS#P$Miss*Steele, as soon as they 
121:122,07['  ]| were gone. 
121:122,07[P  ]| "It might have been a very sad accident." 
121:122,08[C  ]| "Yet I hardly know how," 
121:122,08['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
121:122,08[C  ]| "unless 
121:122,09[C  ]| it had been under totally different circumstances.  But 
121:122,10[C  ]| this is the usual way of heightening alarm$0$, where there 
121:122,11[C  ]| is nothing to$9$ be alarmed at in$4$ reality." 
121:122,12[Q  ]| "What a sweet woman $SS#M$Lady*Middleton is!" 
121:122,12['  ]| said 
121:122,13['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele. 
121:122,14['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was silent; it was impossible for$4$ her to$9$ 
121:122,15['  ]| say what she did not feel, however trivial the occasion$0$; 
121:122,16['  ]| and upon$4$ $SS#A$Elinor therefore the whole$2$ task of telling lies$0$ 
121:122,17['  ]| when politeness required it, always fell.  She did her 
121:122,18['  ]| best when thus called on$5$, by$4$ speaking of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
121:122,19['  ]| with more warmth than she felt, though with far less 
121:122,20['  ]| than $SS#Q$Miss*Lucy. 
121:122,21[P  ]| "And $SS#L$Sir*John too$5#2$," 
121:122,21['  ]| cried the elder sister, 
121:122,21[P  ]| "what 
121:122,22[P  ]| a charming man he is!" 
121:122,23['  ]| Here too$5#2$, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood's commendation, being$1$ 
121:122,24['  ]| only simple$2$ and just$2$, came in$5$ without any eclat.  She 
121:122,25['  ]| merely observed that$3$ he was perfectly good*humoured 
121:122,26['  ]| and friendly. 
121:122,27[P  ]| "And what a charming little family they have! 
121:122,28[P  ]| I never saw such fine children in$4$ my life. ~~ I declare 
121:122,29[P  ]| I quite doat upon$4$ them already, and indeed I am always 
121:122,30[P  ]| distractedly fond of children." 
121:122,31[A  ]| "I should guess$1$ so$5#2$," 
121:122,31['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor with a smile$0$, 
121:122,31[A  ]| "from 
121:122,32[A  ]| what I have witnessed this morning." 
121:122,33[Q  ]| "I have a notion," 
121:122,33['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, 
121:122,33[Q  ]| "you think the little 
121:122,34[Q  ]| $SS#M1$Middletons rather too$5#1$ much indulged; perhaps they may$1$ 
121:122,35[Q  ]| be the outside of enough; but it is so$5#1$ natural$2$ in$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton; 
121:122,36[Q  ]| and for$4$ my part$0$, I love$1$ to$9$ see children full 
121:122,37[Q  ]| of life and spirits; I cannot bear$1$ them if they are tame 
121:122,38[Q  ]| and quiet$2$." 
121:123,01[A  ]| "I confess," 
121:123,01['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
121:123,01[A  ]| "that$3$ while$3$ I am at 
121:123,02[A  ]| Barton*Park, I never think of tame and quiet$2$ children 
121:123,03[A  ]| with any abhorrence." 
121:123,04['  ]| A short pause$0$ succeeded this speech, which$6#1$ was first 
121:123,05['  ]| broken by$4$ $SS#P$Miss*Steele, who$6#1$ seemed very much disposed 
121:123,06['  ]| for$4$ conversation, and who$6#1$ now said rather abruptly, 
121:123,07[P  ]| "And how do you like$1$ Devonshire, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood? 
121:123,08[P  ]| I suppose you were very sorry to$9$ leave$1$ Sussex." 
121:123,09['  ]| In$4$ some surprise$0$ at the familiarity of this question$0$, 
121:123,10['  ]| or at least of the manner in$4$ which$6#1$ it was spoken, $SS#A$Elinor 
121:123,11['  ]| replied that$3$ she was. 
121:123,12[P  ]| "Norland is a prodigious beautiful place$0$, is not it?" 
121:123,13['  ]| added $SS#P$Miss*Steele. 
121:123,14[Q  ]| "We have heard $SS#L$Sir*John admire it excessively," 
121:123,15['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ seemed to$9$ think some apology necessary 
121:123,16['  ]| for$4$ the freedom of her sister. 
121:123,17[A  ]| "I think every*one \must\ admire it," 
121:123,17['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
121:123,18[A  ]| "who$6#1$ ever saw the place$0$; though it is not to$9$ be supposed 
121:123,19[A  ]| that$3$ any*one can estimate$1$ its beauties as we do." 
121:123,20[P  ]| "And had you a great many smart beaux there? 
121:123,21[P  ]| I suppose you have not so$5#1$ many in$4$ this part$0$ of the world; 
121:123,22[P  ]| for$4$ my part$0$, I think they are a vast addition always." 
121:123,23[Q  ]| "But why should you think," 
121:123,23['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, looking 
121:123,24['  ]| ashamed of her sister, 
121:123,24[Q  ]| "that$3$ there are not as many 
121:123,25[Q  ]| genteel young men in$4$ Devonshire as Sussex?" 
121:123,26[P  ]| "Nay, my dear$2#1$, I'm sure I don't pretend to$9$ say that$3$ 
121:123,27[P  ]| there an't.  I'm sure there's a vast many smart beaux 
121:123,28[P  ]| in$4$ Exeter; but you know, how could I tell what smart 
121:123,29[P  ]| beaux there might be about$4$ Norland; and I was only 
121:123,30[P  ]| afraid the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods might find it dull at Barton, 
121:123,31[P  ]| if they had not so$5#1$ many as they used to$9$ have.  But 
121:123,32[P  ]| perhaps you young ladies may$1$ not care$1$ about$4$ the 
121:123,33[P  ]| beaux, and had as lief be without them as with them. 
121:123,34[P  ]| For$4$ my part$0$, I think they are vastly agreeable, provided 
121:123,35[P  ]| they dress$1$ smart and behave civil.  But I can't bear$1$ to$9$ 
121:123,36[P  ]| see them dirty and nasty.  Now there's $SS#ZZ$Mr%*Rose at 
121:123,37[P  ]| Exeter, a prodigious smart young man, quite a beau, 
121:123,38[P  ]| clerk to$4$ $SS#ZZD$Mr%*Simpson you know, and yet if you do but 
121:124,01[P  ]| meet$1$ him of a morning, he is not fit$2$ to$9$ be seen. ~~ I 
121:124,02[P  ]| suppose your brother was quite a beau, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, 
121:124,03[P  ]| before$3$ he married, as he was so$5#1$ rich?" 
121:124,04[A  ]| "Upon$4$ my word," 
121:124,04['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
121:124,04[A  ]| "I cannot tell 
121:124,05[A  ]| you, for$3$ I do not perfectly comprehend the meaning 
121:124,06[A  ]| of the word.  But this I can say, that$3$ if he ever was a 
121:124,07[A  ]| beau before$3$ he married, he is one still$5$, for$3$ there is not the 
121:124,08[A  ]| smallest alteration in$4$ him." 
121:124,09[P  ]| "Oh! dear$7$! one never thinks of married mens' 
121:124,10[P  ]| being$1$ beaux ~~ they have something else to$9$ do." 
121:124,11[Q  ]| "Lord$7$!  $SS#P$Anne," 
121:124,11['  ]| cried her sister, 
121:124,11[Q  ]| "you can talk$1$ of 
121:124,12[Q  ]| nothing but beaux; ~~ you will$1$ make$1$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood 
121:124,13[Q  ]| believe you think of nothing else." 
121:124,13['  ]| And then to$9$ turn$1$ 
121:124,14['  ]| the discourse, she began admiring the house and the 
121:124,15['  ]| furniture. 
121:124,16['  ]| This specimen of the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles was enough.  The 
121:124,17['  ]| vulgar freedom and folly of the eldest left her no$2$ recommendation, 
121:124,18['  ]| and as $SS#A$Elinor was not blinded by$4$ the beauty, 
121:124,19['  ]| or the shrewd look$0$ of the youngest, to$4$ her want$0$ of real 
121:124,20['  ]| elegance and artlessness, she left the house without any 
121:124,21['  ]| wish$0$ of knowing them better. 
121:124,22['  ]| Not so$5#2$, the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles. ~~ They came from Exeter, 
121:124,23['  ]| well$5$ provided with admiration for$4$ the use$0$ of $SS#L$Sir*John*Middleton, 
121:124,24['  ]| his family, and all his relations, and no$2$ 
121:124,25['  ]| niggardly proportion was now dealt out$5$ to$4$ his fair 
121:124,26['  ]| cousins, whom$6#1$ they declared to$9$ be 
121:124,26@y   | the most beautiful, 
121:124,27@y   | elegant, accomplished and agreeable girls they had 
121:124,28@y   | ever beheld, and with whom$6#1$ they were particularly 
121:124,29@y   | anxious to$9$ be better acquainted. ~~ 
121:124,29['  ]| And to$9$ be better 
121:124,30['  ]| acquainted therefore, $SS#A$Elinor soon found was their 
121:124,31['  ]| inevitable lot, for$3$ as $SS#L$Sir*John was entirely on$4$ the side$0$ 
121:124,32['  ]| of the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, their party would be too$5#1$ strong for$4$ 
121:124,33['  ]| opposition, and that$6#2$ kind$0$ of intimacy must be submitted 
121:124,34['  ]| to$4$, which$6#1$ consists of sitting an hour or two together in$4$ 
121:124,35['  ]| the same room almost every day.  $SS#L$Sir*John could do no$2$ 
121:124,36['  ]| more; but he did not know that$3$ any more was required; 
121:124,37['  ]| to$9$ be together was, in$4$ his opinion, to$9$ be intimate$2$, and 
121:124,38['  ]| while$3$ his continual schemes for$4$ their meeting were 
121:125,01['  ]| effectual, he had not a doubt$0$ of their being$1$ established 
121:125,02['  ]| friends. 
121:125,03['  ]| To$9$ do him justice, he did every*thing in$4$ his power 
121:125,04['  ]| to$9$ promote their unreserve, by$4$ making the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles 
121:125,05['  ]| acquainted with whatever he knew or supposed of his 
121:125,06['  ]| cousins' situations in$4$ the most delicate particulars, ~~ 
121:125,07['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor had not seen them more than twice, before$3$ 
121:125,08['  ]| the eldest of them wished her joy on$4$ her sister's having 
121:125,09['  ]| been so$5#1$ lucky as to$9$ make$1$ a conquest of a very smart 
121:125,10['  ]| beau since she came to$4$ Barton. 
121:125,11[P  ]| "'Twill be a fine thing to$9$ have her married so$5#1$ young 
121:125,12[P  ]| to$9$ be sure," 
121:125,12['  ]| said she, 
121:125,12[P  ]| "and I hear he is quite a beau, 
121:125,13[P  ]| and prodigious handsome.  And I hope$1$ you may$1$ have 
121:125,14[P  ]| as good luck yourself soon, ~~ but perhaps you may$1$ have 
121:125,15[P  ]| a friend in$4$ the corner already." 
121:125,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not suppose that$3$ $SS#L$Sir*John would be more 
121:125,17['  ]| nice in$4$ proclaiming his suspicions of her regard$0$ for$4$ 
121:125,18['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, than he had been with respect$0$ to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne; 
121:125,19['  ]| indeed it was rather his favourite$2$ joke of the two, as 
121:125,20['  ]| being$1$ somewhat newer and more conjectural; and since 
121:125,21['  ]| $SS#B$Edward's visit$0$, they had never dined together, without 
121:125,22['  ]| his drinking to$4$ her best affections with so$5#1$ much significancy 
121:125,23['  ]| and so$5#1$ many nods and winks, as to$9$ excite general$2$ 
121:125,24['  ]| attention.  The letter $SS#B$F*** had been likewise invariably 
121:125,25['  ]| brought forward$5$, and found productive of such countless 
121:125,26['  ]| jokes, that$3$ its character as the wittiest letter in$4$ the 
121:125,27['  ]| alphabet had been long established with $SS#A$Elinor. 
121:125,28['  ]| The $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, as she expected, had now all the 
121:125,29['  ]| benefit of these jokes, and in$4$ the eldest of them they 
121:125,30['  ]| raised a curiosity to$9$ know the name$0$ of the gentleman 
121:125,31['  ]| alluded to$4$, which$6#1$, though often impertinently expressed, 
121:125,32['  ]| was perfectly of a piece with her general$2$ inquisitiveness 
121:125,33['  ]| into the concerns$0$ of their family.  But $SS#L$Sir*John did not 
121:125,34['  ]| sport$1$ long with the curiosity which$6#1$ he delighted to$9$ 
121:125,35['  ]| raise, for$3$ he had at least as much pleasure in$4$ telling 
121:125,36['  ]| the name$0$, as $SS#P$Miss*Steele had in$4$ hearing it. 
121:125,37[L  ]| "His name$0$ is $SS#B$Ferrars," 
121:125,37['  ]| said he, in$4$ a very audible 
121:125,38['  ]| whisper$0$; 
121:125,38[L  ]| "but pray do not tell it, for$3$ it's a great secret$0$." 
121:126,01[P  ]| "$SS#B$Ferrars!" 
121:126,01['  ]| repeated $SS#P$Miss*Steele; 
121:126,01[P  ]| "$SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars is 
121:126,02[P  ]| the happy man, is he?  What! your sister-in-law's 
121:126,03[P  ]| brother, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood? a very agreeable young man 
121:126,04[P  ]| to$9$ be sure; I know him very well$5$." 
121:126,05[Q  ]| "How can you say so$5#2$, $SS#P$Anne?" 
121:126,05['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ 
121:126,06['  ]| generally made an amendment to$4$ all her sister's assertions. 
121:126,07[Q  ]| "Though we have seen him once or twice at 
121:126,08[Q  ]| my uncle's, it is rather too$5#1$ much to$9$ pretend to$9$ know him 
121:126,09[Q  ]| very well$5$." 
121:126,10['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor heard all this with attention and surprise$0$. 
121:126,11@a   | "And who$6#2$ was this uncle?  Where did he live?  How 
121:126,12@a   | came they acquainted?" 
121:126,12['  ]| She wished very much to$9$ 
121:126,13['  ]| have the subject$0$ continued, though she did not chuse 
121:126,14['  ]| to$9$ join in$4$ it herself; but nothing more of it was said, 
121:126,15['  ]| and for$4$ the first time in$4$ her life, she thought$1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
121:126,16['  ]| deficient either in$4$ curiosity after$4$ petty information, 
121:126,17['  ]| or in$4$ a disposition to$9$ communicate it.  The manner 
121:126,18['  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#P$Miss*Steele had spoken of $SS#B$Edward, increased 
121:126,19['  ]| her curiosity; for$3$ it struck her as being$1$ rather ill-natured, 
121:126,20['  ]| and suggested the suspicion of that$6#2$ lady's 
121:126,21['  ]| knowing, or fancying herself to$9$ know something to$4$ 
121:126,22['  ]| his disadvantage. ~~ But her curiosity was unavailing, 
121:126,23['  ]| for$3$ no$2$ farther notice$0$ was taken of $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars's name$0$ by$4$ 
121:126,24['  ]| $SS#P$Miss*Steele when alluded to$4$, or even$5$ openly mentioned 
121:126,25['  ]| by$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John. 
122:127,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ had never much toleration for$4$ any*thing 
122:127,02['  ]| like$4$ impertinence, vulgarity, inferiority of parts, 
122:127,03['  ]| or even$5$ difference of taste from herself, was at this time 
122:127,04['  ]| particularly ill-disposed, from the state$0$ of her spirits, 
122:127,05['  ]| to$9$ be pleased with the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, or to$9$ encourage 
122:127,06['  ]| their advances$0$; and to$4$ the invariable coldness of her 
122:127,07['  ]| behaviour towards them, which$6#1$ checked every endeavour$0$ 
122:127,08['  ]| at intimacy on$4$ their side$0$, $SS#A$Elinor principally attributed 
122:127,09['  ]| that$6#2$ preference of herself which$6#1$ soon became evident 
122:127,10['  ]| in$4$ the manners of both, but especially of $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ 
122:127,11['  ]| missed no$2$ opportunity of engaging her in$4$ conversation, 
122:127,12['  ]| or of striving to$9$ improve their acquaintance by$4$ an easy 
122:127,13['  ]| and frank$2$ communication of her sentiments. 
122:127,14['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy was naturally clever; her remarks were often 
122:127,15['  ]| just$2$ and amusing; and as a companion for$4$ half an hour 
122:127,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor frequently found her agreeable; but her powers 
122:127,17['  ]| had received no$2$ aid from education, she was ignorant 
122:127,18['  ]| and illiterate, and her deficiency of all mental improvement, 
122:127,19['  ]| her want$0$ of information in$4$ the most common$2$ 
122:127,20['  ]| particulars, could not be concealed from $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, 
122:127,21['  ]| in$4$ spite$8$ of her constant endeavour$0$ to$9$ appear to$4$ advantage. 
122:127,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor saw, and pitied her for$4$, the neglect$0$ of 
122:127,23['  ]| abilities which$6#1$ education might have rendered so$5#1$ respectable; 
122:127,24['  ]| but she saw, with less tenderness of feeling, 
122:127,25['  ]| the thorough want$0$ of delicacy, of rectitude, and integrity 
122:127,26['  ]| of mind$0$, which$6#1$ her attentions, her assiduities, her 
122:127,27['  ]| flatteries at the Park betrayed; and she could have no$2$ 
122:127,28['  ]| lasting satisfaction in$4$ the company of a person who$6#1$ 
122:127,29['  ]| joined insincerity with ignorance; whose$6#1$ want$0$ of 
122:127,30['  ]| instruction prevented their meeting in$4$ conversation on$4$ 
122:127,31['  ]| terms of equality, and whose$6#1$ conduct$0$ towards others, 
122:127,32['  ]| made every shew$0$ of attention and deference towards 
122:127,33['  ]| herself perfectly valueless. 
122:128,01[Q  ]| "You will$1$ think my question$0$ an odd one, I dare$1#2$ say," 
122:128,02['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy to$4$ her one day as they were walking together 
122:128,03['  ]| from the park to$4$ the cottage ~~ 
122:128,03[Q  ]| "but, pray, are you 
122:128,04[Q  ]| personally acquainted with your sister-in-law's mother, 
122:128,05[Q  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars?" 
122:128,06['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor \did\ think the question$0$ a very odd one, and her 
122:128,07['  ]| countenance expressed it, as she answered that$3$ she had 
122:128,08['  ]| never seen $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars. 
122:128,09[Q  ]| "Indeed!" 
122:128,09['  ]| replied $SS#Q$Lucy; 
122:128,09[Q  ]| "I wonder$1$ at that$6#2$, for$3$ 
122:128,10[Q  ]| I thought$1$ you must have seen her at Norland sometimes. 
122:128,11[Q  ]| Then perhaps you cannot tell me what sort of a woman 
122:128,12[Q  ]| she is?" 
122:128,13[A  ]| "No$7$;" 
122:128,13['  ]| returned $SS#A$Elinor, cautious of giving her real 
122:128,14['  ]| opinion of $SS#B$Edward's mother, and not very desirous of 
122:128,15['  ]| satisfying, what seemed impertinent curiosity ~~ 
122:128,15[A  ]| "I know 
122:128,16[A  ]| nothing of her." 
122:128,17[Q  ]| "I am sure you think me very strange, for$4$ inquiring 
122:128,18[Q  ]| about$4$ her in$4$ such a way;" 
122:128,18['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, eyeing $SS#A$Elinor 
122:128,19['  ]| attentively as she spoke; 
122:128,19[Q  ]| "but perhaps there may$1$ be 
122:128,20[Q  ]| reasons ~~ I wish$1$ I might venture; but however I hope$1$ 
122:128,21[Q  ]| you will$1$ do me the justice of believing that$3$ I do not 
122:128,22[Q  ]| mean$1$ to$9$ be impertinent." 
122:128,23['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor made her a civil reply$0$, and they walked on$5$ 
122:128,24['  ]| for$4$ a few minutes in$4$ silence$0$.  It was broken by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, 
122:128,25['  ]| who$6#1$ renewed the subject$0$ again by$4$ saying with some 
122:128,26['  ]| hesitation. 
122:128,27[Q  ]| "I cannot bear$1$ to$9$ have you think me impertinently 
122:128,28[Q  ]| curious.  I am sure I would rather do any*thing in$4$ the 
122:128,29[Q  ]| world than be thought$1$ so$5#2$ by$4$ a person whose$6#1$ good opinion 
122:128,30[Q  ]| is so$5#1$ well$5$ worth having as yours.  And I am sure I 
122:128,31[Q  ]| should not have the smallest fear$0$ of trusting \you\; 
122:128,32[Q  ]| indeed I should be very glad of your advice how to$9$ 
122:128,33[Q  ]| manage in$4$ such an uncomfortable situation as I am; 
122:128,34[Q  ]| but however there is no$2$ occasion$0$ to$9$ trouble$1$ \you\.  I am 
122:128,35[Q  ]| sorry you do not happen to$9$ know $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars." 
122:128,36[A  ]| "I am sorry I do \not\," 
122:128,36['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, in$4$ great astonishment, 
122:128,37[A  ]| "if it could be of any use$0$ to$4$ \you\ to$9$ know my 
122:128,38[A  ]| opinion of her.  But really, I never understood that$3$ you 
122:129,01[A  ]| were at all connected with that$6#2$ family, and therefore 
122:129,02[A  ]| I am a little surprised, I confess, at so$5#1$ serious$2$ an inquiry 
122:129,03[A  ]| into her character." 
122:129,04[Q  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say you are, and I am sure I do not at all 
122:129,05[Q  ]| wonder$1$ at it.  But if I dared tell you all, you would not 
122:129,06[Q  ]| be so$5#1$ much surprised.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars is certainly nothing 
122:129,07[Q  ]| to$4$ me at present$0#1$, ~~ but the time \may$1$\ come ~~ how soon 
122:129,08[Q  ]| it will$1$ come must depend upon$4$ herself ~~ when we may$1$ 
122:129,09[Q  ]| be very intimately connected." 
122:129,10['  ]| She looked down$5$ as she said this, amiably bashful, 
122:129,11['  ]| with only one side$2$ glance$0$ at her companion to$9$ observe 
122:129,12['  ]| its effect$0$ on$4$ her. 
122:129,13[A  ]| "Good heavens!" 
122:129,13['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor, 
122:129,13[A  ]| "what do you mean$1$? 
122:129,14[A  ]| Are you acquainted with $SS#J$Mr%*Robert*Ferrars?  Can you 
122:129,15[A  ]| be ~~ ?" 
122:129,15['  ]| And she did not feel much delighted with 
122:129,16['  ]| the idea of such a sister-in-law. 
122:129,17[Q  ]| "No$7$;" 
122:129,17['  ]| replied $SS#Q$Lucy, 
122:129,17[Q  ]| "not to$4$ $SS#J$Mr%*\Robert\*Ferrars ~~ 
122:129,18[Q  ]| I never saw him in$4$ my life; but," 
122:129,18['  ]| fixing her eyes upon$4$ 
122:129,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, 
122:129,19[Q  ]| "to$4$ his elder brother." 
122:129,20['  ]| What felt $SS#A$Elinor at that$6#2$ moment?  Astonishment, 
122:129,21['  ]| that$6#1$ would have been as painful as it was strong, had 
122:129,22['  ]| not an immediate disbelief of the assertion attended it. 
122:129,23['  ]| She turned towards $SS#Q$Lucy in$4$ silent amazement, unable 
122:129,24['  ]| to$9$ divine the reason$0$ or object$0$ of such a declaration, and 
122:129,25['  ]| though her complexion varied, she stood firm in$4$ 
122:129,26['  ]| incredulity and felt in$4$ no$2$ danger of an hysterical fit$0$, 
122:129,27['  ]| or a swoon. 
122:129,28[Q  ]| "You may$1$ well$5$ be surprised," 
122:129,28['  ]| continued $SS#Q$Lucy; 
122:129,28[Q  ]| "for$3$ 
122:129,29[Q  ]| to$9$ be sure you could have had no$2$ idea of it before$5$; for$3$ 
122:129,30[Q  ]| I dare$1#2$ say he never dropped the smallest hint$0$ of it to$4$ 
122:129,31[Q  ]| you or any of your family; because it was always 
122:129,32[Q  ]| meant to$9$ be a great secret$0$, and I am sure has been 
122:129,33[Q  ]| faithfully kept so$5#2$ by$4$ me to$4$ this hour.  Not a soul of 
122:129,34[Q  ]| all my relations know of it but $SS#P$Anne, and I never should 
122:129,35[Q  ]| have mentioned it to$4$ you, if I had not felt the greatest 
122:129,36[Q  ]| dependance in$4$ the world upon$4$ your secrecy; and I really 
122:129,37[Q  ]| thought$1$ my behaviour in$4$ asking so$5#1$ many questions 
122:129,38[Q  ]| about$4$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, must seem so$5#1$ odd, that$3$ it ought to$9$ 
122:130,01[Q  ]| be explained.  And I do not think $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars can be 
122:130,02[Q  ]| displeased, when he knows I have trusted you, because 
122:130,03[Q  ]| I know he has the highest opinion in$4$ the world of all 
122:130,04[Q  ]| your family, and looks$1$ upon$4$ yourself and the other 
122:130,05[Q  ]| $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods, quite as his own$2$ sisters." ~~ 
122:130,05['  ]| She paused. 
122:130,06['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor for$4$ a few moments remained silent.  Her 
122:130,07['  ]| astonishment at what she heard was at first too$5#1$ great 
122:130,08['  ]| for$4$ words; but at length forcing herself to$9$ speak, and 
122:130,09['  ]| to$9$ speak cautiously, she said with a calmness of manner, 
122:130,10['  ]| which$6#1$ tolerably well$5$ concealed her surprise$0$ and solicitude 
122:130,11[A  ]| ~~ "May$1$ I ask if your engagement is of long standing?" 
122:130,12[Q  ]| "We have been engaged these four years." 
122:130,13[A  ]| "Four years!" 
122:130,14[Q  ]| "Yes." 
122:130,15['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, though greatly shocked, still$5$ felt unable to$9$ 
122:130,16['  ]| believe it. 
122:130,17[A  ]| "I did not know," 
122:130,17['  ]| said she, 
122:130,17[A  ]| "that$3$ you were even$5$ 
122:130,18[A  ]| acquainted till the other day." 
122:130,19[Q  ]| "Our acquaintance, however, is of many years date. 
122:130,20[Q  ]| He was under my uncle's care$0$, you know, a considerable 
122:130,21[Q  ]| while$0$." 
122:130,22[A  ]| "Your uncle!" 
122:130,23[Q  ]| "Yes; $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt.  Did you never hear him talk$1$ of 
122:130,24[Q  ]| $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt?" 
122:130,25[A  ]| "I think I have," 
122:130,25['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, with an exertion 
122:130,26['  ]| of spirits, which$6#1$ increased with her increase$0$ of emotion. 
122:130,27[Q  ]| "He was four years with my uncle, who$6#1$ lives$1$ at 
122:130,28[Q  ]| Longstaple, near$4$ Plymouth.  It was there our acquaintance 
122:130,29[Q  ]| begun, for$3$ my sister and me was often staying 
122:130,30[Q  ]| with my uncle, and it was there our engagement was 
122:130,31[Q  ]| formed, though not till a year after$3$ he had quitted as 
122:130,32[Q  ]| a pupil; but he was almost always with us afterwards. 
122:130,33[Q  ]| I was very unwilling to$9$ enter into it, as you may$1$ 
122:130,34[Q  ]| imagine, without the knowledge and approbation 
122:130,35[Q  ]| of his mother; but I was too$5#1$ young and loved 
122:130,36[Q  ]| him too$5#1$ well$5$ to$9$ be so$5#1$ prudent as I ought to$9$ have 
122:130,37[Q  ]| been. ~~ Though you do not know him so$5#1$ well$5$ as me, 
122:130,38[Q  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, you must have seen enough of him to$9$ 
122:131,01[Q  ]| be sensible$2#1$ he is very capable of making a woman 
122:131,02[Q  ]| sincerely attached to$4$ him." 
122:131,03[A  ]| "Certainly," 
122:131,03['  ]| answered $SS#A$Elinor, without knowing what 
122:131,04['  ]| she said; but after$4$ a moment's reflection, she added 
122:131,05['  ]| with revived security of $SS#B$Edward's honour$0$ and love$0$, 
122:131,06['  ]| and her companion's falsehood ~~ 
122:131,06[A  ]| "Engaged to$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Edward*Ferrars! 
122:131,07[A  ]| ~~ I confess myself so$5#1$ totally surprised 
122:131,08[A  ]| at what you tell me, that$3$ really ~~ I beg your pardon$0$; 
122:131,09[A  ]| but surely there must be some mistake$0$ of person or 
122:131,10[A  ]| name$0$.  We cannot mean$1$ the same $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars." 
122:131,11[Q  ]| "We can mean$1$ no$2$ other," 
122:131,11['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy smiling. 
122:131,12[Q  ]| "$SS#B$Mr%*Edward*Ferrars, the eldest son of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars of 
122:131,13[Q  ]| Park-street, and brother of your sister-in-law, $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood, 
122:131,14[Q  ]| is the person I mean$1$; you must allow that$3$ 
122:131,15[Q  ]| \I\ am not likely to$9$ be deceived, as to$4$ the name$0$ of the man 
122:131,16[Q  ]| on$4$ who$6#1$ all my happiness depends." 
122:131,17[A  ]| "It is strange," 
122:131,17['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor in$4$ a most painful 
122:131,18['  ]| perplexity, 
122:131,18[A  ]| "that$3$ I should never have heard him even$5$ 
122:131,19[A  ]| mention$1$ your name$0$." 
122:131,20[Q  ]| "No$7$; considering our situation, it was not strange. 
122:131,21[Q  ]| Our first care$0$ has been to$9$ keep the matter secret$2$. ~~ You 
122:131,22[Q  ]| knew nothing of me, or my family, and therefore there 
122:131,23[Q  ]| could be no$2$ \occasion$0$\ for$4$ ever mentioning my name$0$ to$4$ 
122:131,24[Q  ]| you, and as he was always particularly afraid of his 
122:131,25[Q  ]| sister's suspecting any*thing, \that$6#2$\ was reason$0$ enough 
122:131,26[Q  ]| for$4$ his not mentioning it." 
122:131,27['  ]| She was silent. ~~ $SS#A$Elinor's security sunk; but her self-command 
122:131,28['  ]| did not sink with it. 
122:131,29[A  ]| "Four years you have been engaged," 
122:131,29['  ]| said she with 
122:131,30['  ]| a firm voice. 
122:131,31[Q  ]| "Yes; and heaven knows how much longer we may$1$ 
122:131,32[Q  ]| have to$9$ wait.  Poor $SS#B$Edward!  It puts him quite out$5$ 
122:131,33[Q  ]| of heart." 
122:131,33['  ]| Then taking a small miniature from her 
122:131,34['  ]| pocket, she added, 
122:131,34[Q  ]| "To$9$ prevent the possibility of 
122:131,35[Q  ]| mistake$0$, be so$5#1$ good as to$9$ look$1$ at this face$0$.  It does not 
122:131,36[Q  ]| do him justice to$9$ be sure, but yet I think you cannot be 
122:131,37[Q  ]| deceived as to$4$ the person it was drew of. ~~ I have had 
122:131,38[Q  ]| it above$4$ these three years." 
122:132,01['  ]| She put it into her hands as she spoke, and when 
122:132,02['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor saw the painting, whatever other doubts$0$ her fear$0$ 
122:132,03['  ]| of a too$5#1$ hasty decision, or her wish$0$ of detecting falsehood 
122:132,04['  ]| might suffer to$9$ linger in$4$ her mind$0$, she could have none 
122:132,05['  ]| of its being$1$ $SS#B$Edward's face$0$.  She returned it almost 
122:132,06['  ]| instantly, acknowledging the likeness. 
122:132,07[Q  ]| "I have never been able," 
122:132,07['  ]| continued $SS#Q$Lucy, 
122:132,07[Q  ]| "to$9$ give 
122:132,08[Q  ]| him my picture$0$ in$4$ return$0$, which$6#1$ I am very much 
122:132,09[Q  ]| vexed at, for$3$ he has been always so$5#1$ anxious to$9$ get it! 
122:132,10[Q  ]| But I am determined to$9$ set$1#1$ for$4$ it the very first opportunity." 
122:132,11[Q  ]| 
122:132,12[A  ]| "You are quite in$4$ the right$0$;" 
122:132,12['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor calmly. 
122:132,13['  ]| They then proceeded a few paces in$4$ silence$0$.  $SS#Q$Lucy 
122:132,14['  ]| spoke first. 
122:132,15[Q  ]| "I am sure," 
122:132,15['  ]| said she, 
122:132,15[Q  ]| "I have no$2$ doubt$0$ in$4$ the world 
122:132,16[Q  ]| of your faithfully keeping this secret$0$, because you must 
122:132,17[Q  ]| know of what importance it is to$4$ us, not to$9$ have it 
122:132,18[Q  ]| reach$1$ his mother; for$3$ she would never approve of it, 
122:132,19[Q  ]| I dare$1#2$ say.  I shall have no$2$ fortune, and I fancy$1$ she is 
122:132,20[Q  ]| an exceeding proud woman." 
122:132,21[A  ]| "I certainly did not seek your confidence," 
122:132,21['  ]| said 
122:132,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor; 
122:132,22[A  ]| "but you do me no$2$ more than justice in$4$ 
122:132,23[A  ]| imagining that$3$ I may$1$ be depended on$5$.  Your secret$0$ 
122:132,24[A  ]| is safe with me; but pardon$1$ me if I express$1$ some 
122:132,25[A  ]| surprise$0$ at so$5#1$ unnecessary a communication.  You must 
122:132,26[A  ]| at least have felt that$3$ my being$1$ acquainted with it 
122:132,27[A  ]| could not add to$4$ its safety." 
122:132,28['  ]| As she said this, she looked earnestly at $SS#Q$Lucy, hoping 
122:132,29['  ]| to$9$ discover something in$4$ her countenance; perhaps the 
122:132,30['  ]| falsehood of the greatest part$0$ of what she had been 
122:132,31['  ]| saying; but $SS#Q$Lucy's countenance suffered no$2$ change$0$. 
122:132,32[Q  ]| "I was afraid you would think I was taking a great 
122:132,33[Q  ]| liberty with you," 
122:132,33['  ]| said she, 
122:132,33[Q  ]| "in$4$ telling you all this. 
122:132,34[Q  ]| I have not known you long to$9$ be sure, personally at 
122:132,35[Q  ]| least, but I have known you and all your family by$4$ 
122:132,36[Q  ]| description a great while$0$; and as soon as I saw you, 
122:132,37[Q  ]| I felt almost as if you was an old acquaintance.  Besides 
122:132,38[Q  ]| in$4$ the present$2$ case, I really thought$1$ some explanation 
122:133,01[Q  ]| was due$2$ to$4$ you after$4$ my making such particular inquiries 
122:133,02[Q  ]| about$4$ $SS#B$Edward's mother; and I am so$5#1$ unfortunate, 
122:133,03[Q  ]| that$3$ I have not a creature whose$6#1$ advice I can ask.  $SS#P$Anne 
122:133,04[Q  ]| is the only person that$6#1$ knows of it, and she has no$2$ 
122:133,05[Q  ]| judgment at all; indeed she does me a great deal$0$ more 
122:133,06[Q  ]| harm$0$ than good, for$3$ I am in$4$ constant fear$0$ of her betraying 
122:133,07[Q  ]| me.  She does not know how to$9$ hold$1$ her tongue, 
122:133,08[Q  ]| as you must perceive, and I am sure I was in$4$ the greatest 
122:133,09[Q  ]| fright in$4$ the world t'other day, when $SS#B$Edward's name$0$ 
122:133,10[Q  ]| was mentioned by$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John, lest she should out$5$ with it 
122:133,11[Q  ]| all.  You can't think how much I go through$5$ in$4$ my mind$0$ 
122:133,12[Q  ]| from it altogether.  I only wonder$1$ that$3$ I am alive after$4$ 
122:133,13[Q  ]| what I have suffered for$4$ $SS#B$Edward's sake these last$2$ four 
122:133,14[Q  ]| years.  Every*thing in$4$ such suspense and uncertainty; 
122:133,15[Q  ]| and seeing him so$5#1$ seldom ~~ we can hardly meet$1$ above$4$ 
122:133,16[Q  ]| twice a-year.  I am sure I wonder$1$ my heart is not quite 
122:133,17[Q  ]| broke." 
122:133,18['  ]| Here she took out$5$ her handkerchief; but $SS#A$Elinor did 
122:133,19['  ]| not feel very compassionate. 
122:133,20[Q  ]| "Sometimes," 
122:133,20['  ]| continued $SS#Q$Lucy, after$4$ wiping her eyes, 
122:133,21[Q  ]| "I think whether it would not be better for$4$ us both, to$9$ 
122:133,22[Q  ]| break off the matter entirely." 
122:133,22['  ]| As she said this, she 
122:133,23['  ]| looked directly at her companion. 
122:133,23[Q  ]| "But then at other 
122:133,24[Q  ]| times I have not resolution enough for$4$ it. ~~ I cannot 
122:133,25[Q  ]| bear$1$ the thoughts of making him so$5#1$ miserable, as I 
122:133,26[Q  ]| know the very mention$0$ of such a thing would do.  And 
122:133,27[Q  ]| on$4$ my own$2$ account$0$ too$5#2$ ~~ so$5#1$ dear$2#1$ as he is to$4$ me ~~ I 
122:133,28[Q  ]| don't think I could be equal$2$ to$4$ it.  What would you 
122:133,29[Q  ]| advise me to$9$ do in$4$ such a case, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood?  What 
122:133,30[Q  ]| would you do yourself?" 
122:133,31[A  ]| "Pardon$1$ me," 
122:133,31['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, startled by$4$ the question$0$; 
122:133,32[A  ]| "but I can give you no$2$ advice under such circumstances. 
122:133,33[A  ]| Your own$2$ judgment must direct$1$ you." 
122:133,34[Q  ]| "To$9$ be sure," 
122:133,34['  ]| continued $SS#Q$Lucy, after$4$ a few minutes 
122:133,35['  ]| silence$0$ on$4$ both sides, 
122:133,35[Q  ]| "his mother must provide for$4$ 
122:133,36[Q  ]| him sometime or other; but poor $SS#B$Edward is so$5#1$ cast 
122:133,37[Q  ]| down$5$ about$4$ it!  Did not you think him dreadful low-spirited 
122:133,38[Q  ]| when he was at Barton?  He was so$5#1$ miserable 
122:134,01[Q  ]| when he left us at Longstaple, to$9$ go to$4$ you, that$3$ I was 
122:134,02[Q  ]| afraid you would think him quite ill." 
122:134,03[A  ]| "Did he come from your uncle's then, when he 
122:134,04[A  ]| visited us?" 
122:134,05[Q  ]| "Oh! yes; he had been staying a fortnight with us. 
122:134,06[Q  ]| Did you think he came directly from town?" 
122:134,07[A  ]| "No$7$," 
122:134,07['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, most feelingly sensible$2#1$ of every 
122:134,08['  ]| fresh circumstance in$4$ favour$0$ of $SS#Q$Lucy's veracity; 
122:134,08[A  ]| "I 
122:134,09[A  ]| remember he told us, that$3$ he had been staying a fortnight 
122:134,10[A  ]| with some friends near$4$ Plymouth." 
122:134,10['  ]| She remembered 
122:134,11['  ]| too$5#2$, her own$2$ surprise$0$ at the time, at his mentioning 
122:134,12['  ]| nothing farther of those friends, at his total silence$0$ with 
122:134,13['  ]| respect$0$ even$5$ to$4$ their names. 
122:134,14[Q  ]| "Did not you think him sadly out$5$ of spirits?" 
122:134,15['  ]| repeated $SS#Q$Lucy. 
122:134,16[A  ]| "We did indeed, particularly so$5#2$ when he first arrived." 
122:134,17[Q  ]| "I begged him to$9$ exert himself for$4$ fear$0$ you should 
122:134,18[Q  ]| suspect what was the matter; but it made him so$5#1$ 
122:134,19[Q  ]| melancholy$2$, not being$1$ able to$9$ stay$1$ more than a fortnight 
122:134,20[Q  ]| with us, and seeing me so$5#1$ much affected. ~~ Poor fellow! 
122:134,21[Q  ]| ~~ I am afraid it is just$5$ the same with him now; for$3$ he 
122:134,22[Q  ]| writes in$4$ wretched spirits.  I heard from him just$5$ before$3$ 
122:134,23[Q  ]| I left Exeter;" 
122:134,23['  ]| taking a letter from her pocket and 
122:134,24['  ]| carelessly shewing the direction to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor. 
122:134,24[Q  ]| "You know 
122:134,25[Q  ]| his hand$0$, I dare$1#2$ say, a charming one it is; but that$6#2$ is 
122:134,26[Q  ]| not written so$5#1$ well$5$ as usual. ~~ He was tired, I dare$1#2$ say, 
122:134,27[Q  ]| for$3$ he had just$5$ filled the sheet to$4$ me as full as possible." 
122:134,28['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor saw that$3$ it \was\ his hand$0$, and she could doubt$1$ 
122:134,29['  ]| no$2$ longer.  
122:134,29@a   | The picture$0$, 
122:134,29['  ]| she had allowed herself to$9$ 
122:134,30['  ]| believe, 
122:134,30@a   | might have been accidentally obtained; it 
122:134,31@a   | might not have been $SS#B$Edward's gift; but a correspondence 
122:134,32@a   | between them by$4$ letter, could subsist only under 
122:134,33@a   | a positive engagement, could be authorised by$4$ nothing 
122:134,34@a   | else; 
122:134,34['  ]| for$4$ a few moments, she was almost overcome ~~ her 
122:134,35['  ]| heart sunk within her, and she could hardly stand$1$; but 
122:134,36['  ]| exertion was indispensably necessary, and she struggled 
122:134,37['  ]| so$5#1$ resolutely against the oppression of her feelings, that$3$ 
122:134,38['  ]| her success was speedy, and for$4$ the time complete$2$. 
122:135,01[Q  ]| "Writing to$4$ each other," 
122:135,01['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, returning the 
122:135,02['  ]| letter into her pocket, 
122:135,02[Q  ]| "is the only comfort$0$ we have in$4$ 
122:135,03[Q  ]| such long separations.  Yes, \I\ have one other comfort$0$ 
122:135,04[Q  ]| in$4$ his picture$0$; but poor $SS#B$Edward has not even$5$ \that$6#2$\. 
122:135,05[Q  ]| If he had but my picture$0$, he says he should be easy. 
122:135,06[Q  ]| I gave him a lock$0$ of my hair set$1$ in$4$ a ring$0$ when he was 
122:135,07[Q  ]| at Longstaple last$2$, and that$6#2$ was some comfort$0$ to$4$ him, 
122:135,08[Q  ]| he said, but not equal$2$ to$4$ a picture$0$.  Perhaps you might 
122:135,09[Q  ]| notice$1$ the ring$0$ when you saw him?" 
122:135,10[A  ]| "I did;" 
122:135,10['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, with a composure of voice, 
122:135,11['  ]| under which$6#1$ was concealed an emotion and distress$0$ 
122:135,12['  ]| beyond$4$ any*thing she had ever felt before$5$.  She was 
122:135,13['  ]| mortified, shocked, confounded. 
122:135,14['  ]| Fortunately for$4$ her, they had now reached the 
122:135,15['  ]| cottage, and the conversation could be continued no$2$ 
122:135,16['  ]| farther.  After$4$ sitting with them a few minutes, the 
122:135,17['  ]| $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles returned to$4$ the Park, and $SS#A$Elinor was then 
122:135,18['  ]| at liberty to$9$ think and be wretched. 
201:139,01['  ]| However small $SS#A$Elinor's general$2$ dependance on$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy's 
201:139,02['  ]| veracity might be, it was impossible for$4$ her on$4$ serious$2$ 
201:139,03['  ]| reflection to$9$ suspect it in$4$ the present$2$ case, where no$2$ 
201:139,04['  ]| temptation could be answerable to$4$ the folly of inventing 
201:139,05['  ]| a falsehood of such a description.  What $SS#Q$Lucy had 
201:139,06['  ]| asserted to$9$ be true, therefore, $SS#A$Elinor could not, dared 
201:139,07['  ]| not longer doubt$1$; supported as it was too$5#2$ on$4$ every side$0$ 
201:139,08['  ]| by$4$ such probabilities and proofs, and contradicted by$4$ 
201:139,09['  ]| nothing but her own$2$ wishes$0$. 
201:139,09@a   | Their opportunity of 
201:139,10@a   | acquaintance in$4$ the house of $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt was a foundation 
201:139,11@a   | for$4$ the rest$0#1$, at once indisputable and alarming; and 
201:139,12@a   | $SS#B$Edward's visit$0$ near$4$ Plymouth, his melancholy$2$ state$0$ of 
201:139,13@a   | mind$0$, his dissatisfaction at his own$2$ prospects, his uncertain 
201:139,14@a   | behaviour towards herself, the intimate$2$ knowledge 
201:139,15@a   | of the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles as to$4$ Norland and their family connections, 
201:139,16@a   | which$6#1$ had often surprised her, the picture$0$, the 
201:139,17@a   | letter, the ring$0$, formed altogether such a body of 
201:139,18@a   | evidence, as overcame every fear$0$ of condemning him 
201:139,19@a   | unfairly, and established as a fact, which$6#1$ no$2$ partiality 
201:139,20@a   | could set$1$ aside, his ill-treatment of herself. ~~ 
201:139,20['  ]| Her resentment 
201:139,21['  ]| of such behaviour, her indignation at having been 
201:139,22['  ]| its dupe$0$, for$4$ a short time made her feel only for$4$ herself; 
201:139,23['  ]| but other ideas, other considerations soon arose. 
201:139,23@a   | Had 
201:139,24@a   | $SS#B$Edward been intentionally deceiving her?  Had he 
201:139,25@a   | feigned a regard$0$ for$4$ her which$6#1$ he did not feel?  Was 
201:139,26@a   | his engagement to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, an engagement of the heart? 
201:139,27@a   | No$7$; whatever it might once have been, she could not 
201:139,28@a   | believe it such at present$0#1$.  His affection was all her 
201:139,29@a   | own$2$.  She could not be deceived in$4$ that$6#2$.  Her mother, 
201:139,30@a   | sisters, $SS#G$Fanny, all had been conscious of his regard$0$ for$4$ 
201:139,31@a   | her at Norland; it was not an illusion of her own$2$ vanity. 
201:140,01@a   | He certainly loved her.  What a softener of the heart 
201:140,02@a   | was this persuasion!  How much could it not tempt her 
201:140,03@a   | to$9$ forgive!  He had been blameable, highly blameable, 
201:140,04@a   | in$4$ remaining at Norland after$3$ he felt her influence$0$ 
201:140,05@a   | over him to$9$ be more than it ought to$9$ be.  In$4$ that$6#2$, he 
201:140,06@a   | could not be defended; but if he had injured her, how 
201:140,07@a   | much more had he injured himself; if her case were 
201:140,08@a   | pitiable, his was hopeless.  His imprudence had made 
201:140,09@a   | her miserable for$4$ a while$0$; but it seemed to$9$ have deprived 
201:140,10@a   | himself of all chance$0$ of ever being$1$ otherwise.  She might 
201:140,11@a   | in$4$ time regain tranquillity; but \he\, what had he to$9$ look$1$ 
201:140,12@a   | forward$5$ to$4$?  Could he ever be tolerably happy with 
201:140,13@a   | $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele; could he, were his affection for$4$ herself out$5$ 
201:140,14@a   | of the question$0$, with his integrity, his delicacy, and 
201:140,15@a   | well-informed mind$0$, be satisfied with a wife like$4$ her ~~ 
201:140,16@a   | illiterate, artful, and selfish? 
201:140,17@a   | The youthful infatuation of nineteen would naturally 
201:140,18@a   | blind$1$ him to$4$ every*thing but her beauty and good*nature; 
201:140,19@a   | but the four succeeding years ~~ years, which$6#1$ if 
201:140,20@a   | rationally spent, give such improvement to$4$ the understanding, 
201:140,21@a   | must have opened his eyes to$4$ her defects of 
201:140,22@a   | education, while$3$ the same period of time, spent on$4$ her 
201:140,23@a   | side$0$ in$4$ inferior society and more frivolous pursuits, had 
201:140,24@a   | perhaps robbed her of that$6#2$ simplicity, which$6#1$ might once 
201:140,25@a   | have given an interesting character to$4$ her beauty. 
201:140,26@a   | If in$4$ the supposition of his seeking to$9$ marry herself, 
201:140,27@a   | his difficulties from his mother had seemed great, how 
201:140,28@a   | much greater were they now likely to$9$ be, when the 
201:140,29@a   | object$0$ of his engagement was undoubtedly inferior in$4$ 
201:140,30@a   | connections, and probably inferior in$4$ fortune to$4$ herself. 
201:140,31@a   | These difficulties, indeed, with an heart so$5#1$ alienated 
201:140,32@a   | from $SS#Q$Lucy, might not press$1$ very hard upon$4$ his patience; 
201:140,33@a   | but melancholy$2$ was the state$0$ of the person, by$4$ whom$6#1$ 
201:140,34@a   | the expectation of family opposition and unkindness, 
201:140,35@a   | could be felt as a relief! 
201:140,36['  ]| As these considerations occurred to$4$ her in$4$ painful 
201:140,37['  ]| succession, she wept for$4$ him, more than for$4$ herself. 
201:140,38['  ]| Supported by$4$ the conviction of having done nothing to$9$ 
201:141,01['  ]| merit$1$ her present$2$ unhappiness, and consoled by$4$ the 
201:141,02['  ]| belief that$3$ $SS#B$Edward had done nothing to$9$ forfeit her 
201:141,03['  ]| esteem$0$, she thought$1$ she could even$5$ now, under the first 
201:141,04['  ]| smart of the heavy blow, command$1$ herself enough to$9$ 
201:141,05['  ]| guard$1$ every suspicion of the truth from her mother and 
201:141,06['  ]| sisters.  And so$5#1$ well$5$ was she able to$9$ answer$1$ her own$2$ 
201:141,07['  ]| expectations, that$3$ when she joined them at dinner only 
201:141,08['  ]| two hours after$3$ she had first suffered the extinction of 
201:141,09['  ]| all her dearest hopes$0$, no*one would have supposed from 
201:141,10['  ]| the appearance of the sisters, that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor was mourning 
201:141,11['  ]| in$4$ secret$0$ over obstacles which$6#1$ must divide her for*ever from 
201:141,12['  ]| the object$0$ of her love$0$, and that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was internally 
201:141,13['  ]| dwelling on$4$ the perfections of a man, of whose$6#1$ whole$2$ heart 
201:141,14['  ]| she felt thoroughly possessed, and whom$6#1$ she expected 
201:141,15['  ]| to$9$ see in$4$ every carriage which$6#1$ drove near$4$ their house. 
201:141,16['  ]| The necessity of concealing from her mother and 
201:141,17['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, what had been entrusted in$4$ confidence to$4$ 
201:141,18['  ]| herself, though it obliged her to$4$ unceasing exertion, was 
201:141,19['  ]| no$2$ aggravation of $SS#A$Elinor's distress$0$.  On$4$ the contrary it 
201:141,20['  ]| was a relief to$4$ her, to$9$ be spared the communication of 
201:141,21['  ]| what would give such affliction to$4$ them, and to$9$ be saved 
201:141,22['  ]| likewise from hearing that$6#2$ condemnation of $SS#B$Edward, 
201:141,23['  ]| which$6#1$ would probably flow$1$ from the excess of their 
201:141,24['  ]| partial affection for$4$ herself, and which$6#1$ was more than 
201:141,25['  ]| she felt equal$2$ to$9$ support$1$. 
201:141,26['  ]| From their counsel$0$, or their conversation she knew 
201:141,27['  ]| she could receive no$2$ assistance, their tenderness and 
201:141,28['  ]| sorrow must add to$4$ her distress$0$, while$3$ her self-command 
201:141,29['  ]| would neither receive encouragement from their example 
201:141,30['  ]| nor from their praise$0$.  She was stronger alone, and her 
201:141,31['  ]| own$2$ good sense so$5#1$ well$5$ supported her, that$3$ her firmness 
201:141,32['  ]| was as unshaken, her appearance of cheerfulness as 
201:141,33['  ]| invariable, as with regrets so$5#1$ poignant and so$5#1$ fresh, it 
201:141,34['  ]| was possible for$4$ them to$9$ be. 
201:141,35['  ]| Much as she had suffered from her first conversation 
201:141,36['  ]| with $SS#Q$Lucy on$4$ the subject$0$, she soon felt an earnest wish$0$ 
201:141,37['  ]| of renewing it; and this for$4$ more reasons than one. 
201:141,38['  ]| She wanted to$9$ hear many particulars of their engagement 
201:142,01['  ]| repeated again, she wanted more clearly to$9$ understand 
201:142,02['  ]| what $SS#Q$Lucy really felt for$4$ $SS#B$Edward, whether there were 
201:142,03['  ]| any sincerity in$4$ her declaration of tender$2$ regard$0$ for$4$ 
201:142,04['  ]| him, and she particularly wanted to$9$ convince $SS#Q$Lucy, by$4$ 
201:142,05['  ]| her readiness to$9$ enter on$4$ the matter again, and her calmness 
201:142,06['  ]| in$4$ conversing on$4$ it, that$3$ she was no$2$ otherwise interested 
201:142,07['  ]| in$4$ it than as a friend, which$6#1$ she very much feared her 
201:142,08['  ]| involuntary agitation, in$4$ their morning discourse, must 
201:142,09['  ]| have left at least doubtful. 
201:142,09@a   | That$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy was disposed to$9$ 
201:142,10@a   | be jealous of her, appeared very probable; it was plain 
201:142,11@a   | that$3$ $SS#B$Edward had always spoken highly in$4$ her praise$0$, 
201:142,12@a   | not merely from $SS#Q$Lucy's assertion, but from her venturing 
201:142,13@a   | to$9$ trust$1$ her on$4$ so$5#1$ short a personal acquaintance, with 
201:142,14@a   | a secret$0$, so$5#1$ confessedly and evidently important.  And 
201:142,15@a   | even$5$ $SS#L$Sir*John's joking intelligence must have had some 
201:142,16@a   | weight. 
201:142,16['  ]| But indeed, while$3$ $SS#A$Elinor remained so$5#1$ well$5$ 
201:142,17['  ]| assured within herself of being$1$ really beloved by$4$ $SS#B$Edward, 
201:142,18['  ]| it required no$2$ other consideration of probabilities to$9$ 
201:142,19['  ]| make$1$ it natural$2$ that$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy should be jealous; and that$3$ 
201:142,20['  ]| she was so$5#2$, her very confidence was a proof.  What 
201:142,21['  ]| other reason$0$ for$4$ the disclosure of the affair could there 
201:142,22['  ]| be, but that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor might be informed by$4$ it of $SS#Q$Lucy's 
201:142,23['  ]| superior claims on$4$ $SS#B$Edward, and be taught to$9$ avoid him 
201:142,24['  ]| in$4$ future?  She had little difficulty in$4$ understanding 
201:142,25['  ]| thus much of her rival's intentions, and while$3$ she was 
201:142,26['  ]| firmly resolved to$9$ act$1$ by$4$ her as every principle of honour$0$ 
201:142,27['  ]| and honesty directed, to$9$ combat her own$2$ affection for$4$ 
201:142,28['  ]| $SS#B$Edward and to$9$ see him as little as possible; she could 
201:142,29['  ]| not deny herself the comfort$0$ of endeavouring to$9$ convince 
201:142,30['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy that$3$ her heart was unwounded.  And as she could 
201:142,31['  ]| now have nothing more painful to$9$ hear on$4$ the subject$0$ 
201:142,32['  ]| than had already been told, she did not mistrust her 
201:142,33['  ]| own$2$ ability of going through$4$ a repetition of particulars 
201:142,34['  ]| with composure. 
201:142,35['  ]| But it was not immediately that$3$ an opportunity of 
201:142,36['  ]| doing so$5#2$ could be commanded, though $SS#Q$Lucy was as well$5$ 
201:142,37['  ]| disposed as herself to$9$ take advantage of any that$6#1$ 
201:142,38['  ]| occurred; for$3$ the weather was not often fine enough 
201:143,01['  ]| to$9$ allow of their joining in$4$ a walk$0$, where they might 
201:143,02['  ]| most easily separate$1$ themselves from the others; and 
201:143,03['  ]| though they met at least every other evening either at 
201:143,04['  ]| the park or cottage, and chiefly at the former, they 
201:143,05['  ]| could not be supposed to$9$ meet$1$ for$4$ the sake of conversation. 
201:143,06['  ]| Such a thought$0$ would never enter either $SS#L$Sir*John 
201:143,07['  ]| or $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's head$0$, and therefore very little 
201:143,08['  ]| leisure was ever given for$4$ general$2$ chat$0$, and none at all for$4$ 
201:143,09['  ]| particular discourse.  They met for$4$ the sake of eating, 
201:143,10['  ]| drinking, and laughing together, playing at cards, or consequences, 
201:143,11['  ]| or any other game that$6#1$ was sufficiently noisy. 
201:143,12['  ]| One or two meetings of this kind$0$ had taken place$0$, 
201:143,13['  ]| without affording $SS#A$Elinor any chance$0$ of engaging $SS#Q$Lucy 
201:143,14['  ]| in$4$ private$0$, when $SS#L$Sir*John called at the cottage one 
201:143,15['  ]| morning, to$9$ 
201:143,15@l   | beg in$4$ the name$0$ of charity, that$3$ they would 
201:143,16@l   | all dine with $SS#M$Lady*Middleton that$6#2$ day, as he was obliged 
201:143,17@l   | to$9$ attend the club at Exeter, and she would otherwise 
201:143,18@l   | be quite alone, except her mother and the two $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles. 
201:143,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ foresaw a fairer opening for$4$ the 
201:143,20['  ]| point$0$ she had in$4$ view$0$, in$4$ such a party as this was likely 
201:143,21['  ]| to$9$ be, more at liberty among themselves under the 
201:143,22['  ]| tranquil and well-bred direction of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton than 
201:143,23['  ]| when her husband united them together in$4$ one noisy 
201:143,24['  ]| purpose, immediately accepted the invitation; $SS#E$Margaret, 
201:143,25['  ]| with her mother's permission, was equally compliant, 
201:143,26['  ]| and $SS#C$Marianne, though always unwilling to$9$ join 
201:143,27['  ]| any of their parties, was persuaded by$4$ her mother, who$6#1$ 
201:143,28['  ]| could not bear$1$ to$9$ have her seclude herself from any 
201:143,29['  ]| chance$0$ of amusement, to$9$ go likewise. 
201:143,30['  ]| The young ladies went, and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was 
201:143,31['  ]| happily preserved from the frightful solitude which$6#1$ had 
201:143,32['  ]| threatened her.  The insipidity of the meeting was 
201:143,33['  ]| exactly such as $SS#A$Elinor had expected; it produced not 
201:143,34['  ]| one novelty of thought$0$ or expression, and nothing could 
201:143,35['  ]| be less interesting than the whole$0$ of their discourse both 
201:143,36['  ]| in$4$ the dining*parlour and drawing*room:  to$4$ the latter, 
201:143,37['  ]| the children accompanied them, and while$3$ they remained 
201:143,38['  ]| there, she was too$5#1$ well$5$ convinced of the impossibility 
201:144,01['  ]| of engaging $SS#Q$Lucy's attention to$9$ attempt$1$ it.  They 
201:144,02['  ]| quitted it only with the removal of the tea-things.  The 
201:144,03['  ]| card-table was then placed, and $SS#A$Elinor began to$9$ wonder$1$ 
201:144,04['  ]| at herself for$4$ having ever entertained a hope$0$ of finding 
201:144,05['  ]| time for$4$ conversation at the park.  They all rose$1$ up$5$ in$4$ 
201:144,06['  ]| preparation for$4$ a round*game. 
201:144,07[M  ]| "I am glad," 
201:144,07['  ]| said $SS#M$Lady*Middleton to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, 
201:144,07[M  ]| "you 
201:144,08[M  ]| are not going to$9$ finish$1$ poor little $SS#M4$Annamaria's basket 
201:144,09[M  ]| this evening; for$3$ I am sure it must hurt your eyes to$9$ 
201:144,10[M  ]| work$1$ fillagree by$4$ candlelight.  And we will$1$ make$1$ the 
201:144,11[M  ]| dear$2#1$ little love$0$ some amends for$4$ her disappointment 
201:144,12[M  ]| to-morrow, and then I hope$1$ she will$1$ not much mind$1$ it." 
201:144,13['  ]| This hint$0$ was enough, $SS#Q$Lucy recollected herself instantly 
201:144,14['  ]| and replied, 
201:144,14[Q  ]| "Indeed you are very much mistaken, 
201:144,15[Q  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton; I am only waiting to$9$ know 
201:144,16[Q  ]| whether you can make$1$ your party without me, or 
201:144,17[Q  ]| I should have been at my fillagree already.  I would 
201:144,18[Q  ]| not disappoint the little angel for$4$ all the world, and if 
201:144,19[Q  ]| you want$1$ me at the card-table now, I am resolved to$9$ 
201:144,20[Q  ]| finish$1$ the basket after$4$ supper." 
201:144,21[M  ]| "You are very good, I hope$1$ it won't hurt your eyes ~~ 
201:144,22[M  ]| will$1$ you ring$1$ the bell for$4$ some working candles?  My 
201:144,23[M  ]| poor little girl would be sadly disappointed, I know, if 
201:144,24[M  ]| the basket was not finished to-morrow, for$3$ though I told 
201:144,25[M  ]| her it certainly would not, I am sure she depends upon$4$ 
201:144,26[M  ]| having it done." 
201:144,27['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy directly drew her work*table near$4$ her and 
201:144,28['  ]| reseated herself with an alacrity and cheerfulness which$6#1$ 
201:144,29['  ]| seemed to$9$ infer that$3$ she could taste no$2$ greater delight$0$ 
201:144,30['  ]| than in$4$ making a fillagree basket for$4$ a spoilt child. 
201:144,31['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton proposed a rubber of Casino to$4$ the 
201:144,32['  ]| others.  No*one made any objection but $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$, 
201:144,33['  ]| with her usual inattention to$4$ the forms of general$2$ 
201:144,34['  ]| civility, exclaimed, 
201:144,34[C  ]| "Your ladyship will$1$ have the goodness 
201:144,35[C  ]| to$9$ excuse$1$ \me\ ~~ you know I detest cards.  I shall go 
201:144,36[C  ]| to$4$ the piano-forte=; I have not touched it since it was 
201:144,37[C  ]| tuned." 
201:144,37['  ]| And without farther ceremony, she turned 
201:144,38['  ]| away and walked to$4$ the instrument. 
201:145,01['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton looked as if she thanked heaven that$3$ 
201:145,02['  ]| \she\ had never made so$5#1$ rude a speech. 
201:145,03[A  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne can never keep long from that$6#2$ instrument 
201:145,04[A  ]| you know, ma'am," 
201:145,04['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, endeavouring to$9$ smooth$1$ 
201:145,05['  ]| away the offence; 
201:145,05[A  ]| "and I do not much wonder$1$ at it; 
201:145,06[A  ]| for$3$ it is the very best*toned piano-forte= I ever heard." 
201:145,07['  ]| The remaining five were now to$9$ draw their cards. 
201:145,08[A  ]| "Perhaps," 
201:145,08['  ]| continued $SS#A$Elinor, 
201:145,08[A  ]| "if I should happen to$9$ 
201:145,09[A  ]| cut$1$ out$5$, I may$1$ be of some use$0$ to$4$ $SS#Q$Miss*Lucy*Steele, in$4$ 
201:145,10[A  ]| rolling her papers for$4$ her; and there is so$5#1$ much still$5$ 
201:145,11[A  ]| to$9$ be done to$4$ the basket, that$3$ it must be impossible 
201:145,12[A  ]| I think for$4$ her labour singly, to$9$ finish$1$ it this evening. 
201:145,13[A  ]| I should like$1$ the work$0$ exceedingly, if she would allow 
201:145,14[A  ]| me a share$0$ in$4$ it." 
201:145,15[Q  ]| "Indeed I shall be very much obliged to$4$ you for$4$ your 
201:145,16[Q  ]| help$0$," 
201:145,16['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy, 
201:145,16[Q  ]| "for$3$ I find there is more to$4$ be done to$9$ 
201:145,17[Q  ]| it than I thought$1$ there was; and it would be a shocking 
201:145,18[Q  ]| thing to$9$ disappoint dear$2#1$ $SS#M4$Annamaria after$4$ all." 
201:145,19[P  ]| "Oh! that$6#2$ would be terrible indeed," 
201:145,19['  ]| said $SS#P$Miss*Steele ~~ 
201:145,20[P  ]| "Dear$2#1$ little soul, how I do love$1$ her!" 
201:145,21[M  ]| "You are very kind$2$," 
201:145,21['  ]| said $SS#M$Lady*Middleton to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor: 
201:145,22[M  ]| "and as you really like$1$ the work$0$, perhaps you will$1$ be 
201:145,23[M  ]| as well$5$ pleased not to$9$ cut$1$ in$5$ till another rubber, or will$1$ 
201:145,24[M  ]| you take your chance$0$ now?" 
201:145,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor joyfully profited by$4$ the first of these proposals, 
201:145,26['  ]| and thus by$4$ a little of that$6#2$ address$0$, which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne 
201:145,27['  ]| could never condescend to$9$ practise, gained her own$2$ end$0$, 
201:145,28['  ]| and pleased $SS#M$Lady*Middleton at the same time.  $SS#Q$Lucy 
201:145,29['  ]| made room for$4$ her with ready attention, and the two 
201:145,30['  ]| fair rivals were thus seated side$0$ by$4$ side$0$ at the same 
201:145,31['  ]| table, and with the utmost harmony engaged in$4$ forwarding 
201:145,32['  ]| the same work$0$.  The piano-forte=, at which$6#1$ 
201:145,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, wrapt up$5$ in$4$ her own$2$ music and her own$2$ 
201:145,34['  ]| thoughts, had by$4$ this time forgotten that$3$ any*body was 
201:145,35['  ]| in$4$ the room besides herself, was luckily so$5#1$ near$4$ them 
201:145,36['  ]| that$3$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood now judged, she might safely, under 
201:145,37['  ]| the shelter of its noise, introduce the interesting subject$0$, 
201:145,38['  ]| without any risk$0$ of being$1$ heard at the card-table. 
202:146,01['  ]| In$4$ a firm, though cautious tone, $SS#A$Elinor thus began. 
202:146,02[A  ]| "I should be undeserving of the confidence you have 
202:146,03[A  ]| honoured me with, if I felt no$2$ desire$0$ for$4$ its continuance, 
202:146,04[A  ]| or no$2$ farther curiosity on$4$ its subject$0$.  I will$1$ not apologize 
202:146,05[A  ]| therefore for$4$ bringing it forward$5$ again." 
202:146,06[Q  ]| "Thank you," 
202:146,06['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy warmly, 
202:146,06[Q  ]| "for$4$ breaking the 
202:146,07[Q  ]| ice; you have set$1$ my heart at ease$0$ by$4$ it; for$3$ I was 
202:146,08[Q  ]| somehow or other afraid I had offended you by$4$ what 
202:146,09[Q  ]| I told you that$6#2$ Monday." 
202:146,10[A  ]| "Offended me!  How could you suppose so$5#2$?  Believe 
202:146,11[A  ]| me," 
202:146,11['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor spoke it with the truest sincerity, 
202:146,12[A  ]| "nothing could be farther from my intention, than to$9$ 
202:146,13[A  ]| give you such an idea.  Could you have a motive for$4$ 
202:146,14[A  ]| the trust$0$, that$6#1$ was not honourable and flattering to$4$ 
202:146,15[A  ]| me?" 
202:146,16[Q  ]| "And yet I do assure you," 
202:146,16['  ]| replied $SS#Q$Lucy, her little 
202:146,17['  ]| sharp eyes full of meaning, 
202:146,17[Q  ]| "there seemed to$4$ me to$9$ be 
202:146,18[Q  ]| a coldness and displeasure in$4$ your manner, that$6#1$ made 
202:146,19[Q  ]| me quite uncomfortable.  I felt sure that$3$ you was angry 
202:146,20[Q  ]| with me; and have been quarrelling with myself ever 
202:146,21[Q  ]| since, for$4$ having took such a liberty as to$9$ trouble$1$ you 
202:146,22[Q  ]| with my affairs.  But I am very glad to$9$ find it was only 
202:146,23[Q  ]| my own$2$ fancy$0$, and that$3$ you do not really blame$1$ me. 
202:146,24[Q  ]| If you knew what a consolation it was to$4$ me to$9$ relieve 
202:146,25[Q  ]| my heart by$4$ speaking to$4$ you of what I am always 
202:146,26[Q  ]| thinking of every moment of my life, your compassion 
202:146,27[Q  ]| would make$1$ you overlook every*thing else I am sure." 
202:146,28[A  ]| "Indeed I can easily believe that$3$ it was a very great 
202:146,29[A  ]| relief to$4$ you, to$9$ acknowledge your situation to$4$ me, and 
202:146,30[A  ]| be assured that$3$ you shall never have reason$0$ to$9$ repent 
202:146,31[A  ]| it.  Your case is a very unfortunate one; you seem to$4$ 
202:146,32[A  ]| me to$9$ be surrounded with difficulties, and you will$1$ have 
202:146,33[A  ]| need$0$ of all your mutual affection to$9$ support$1$ you under 
202:147,01[A  ]| them.  $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars, I believe, is entirely dependent on$4$ 
202:147,02[A  ]| his mother." 
202:147,03[Q  ]| "He has only two thousand pounds of his own$2$; it 
202:147,04[Q  ]| would be madness to$9$ marry upon$4$ that$6#2$, though for$4$ my 
202:147,05[Q  ]| own$2$ part$0$, I could give up$5$ every prospect of more without 
202:147,06[Q  ]| a sigh$0$.  I have been always used to$4$ a very small income, 
202:147,07[Q  ]| and could struggle$1$ with any poverty for$4$ him; but I love$1$ 
202:147,08[Q  ]| him too$5#1$ well$5$ to$9$ be the selfish means$0$ of robbing him, 
202:147,09[Q  ]| perhaps, of all that$6#1$ his mother might give him if he 
202:147,10[Q  ]| married to$9$ please her.  We must wait, it may$1$ be for$4$ 
202:147,11[Q  ]| many years.  With almost every other man in$4$ the world, 
202:147,12[Q  ]| it would be an alarming prospect; but $SS#B$Edward's 
202:147,13[Q  ]| affection and constancy nothing can deprive me of 
202:147,14[Q  ]| I know." 
202:147,15[A  ]| "That$6#2$ conviction must be every*thing to$4$ you; and 
202:147,16[A  ]| he is undoubtedly supported by$4$ the same trust$0$ in$4$ your's. 
202:147,17[A  ]| If the strength of your reciprocal attachment had failed, 
202:147,18[A  ]| as between many people and under many circumstances 
202:147,19[A  ]| it naturally would during a four years' engagement, your 
202:147,20[A  ]| situation would have been pitiable indeed." 
202:147,21['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy here looked up$5$; but $SS#A$Elinor was careful in$4$ 
202:147,22['  ]| guarding her countenance from every expression that$6#1$ 
202:147,23['  ]| could give her words a suspicious tendency. 
202:147,24[Q  ]| "$SS#B$Edward's love$0$ for$4$ me," 
202:147,24['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, 
202:147,24[Q  ]| "has been pretty$5$ 
202:147,25[Q  ]| well$5$ put to$4$ the test, by$4$ our long, very long absence 
202:147,26[Q  ]| since we were first engaged, and it has stood the trial 
202:147,27[Q  ]| so$5#1$ well$5$, that$3$ I should be unpardonable to$9$ doubt$1$ it now. 
202:147,28[Q  ]| I can safely say that$3$ he has never gave me one moment's 
202:147,29[Q  ]| alarm$0$ on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$ from the first." 
202:147,30['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor hardly knew whether to$9$ smile$1$ or sigh$1$ at this 
202:147,31['  ]| assertion. 
202:147,32['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy went on$5$. 
202:147,32[Q  ]| "I am rather of a jealous temper too$5#2$ 
202:147,33[Q  ]| by$4$ nature, and from our different situations in$4$ life, from 
202:147,34[Q  ]| his being$1$ so$5#1$ much more in$4$ the world than me, and our 
202:147,35[Q  ]| continual separation, I was enough inclined for$4$ suspicion, 
202:147,36[Q  ]| to$9$ have found out$5$ the truth in$4$ an instant$0$, if there had 
202:147,37[Q  ]| been the slightest alteration in$4$ his behaviour to$4$ me when 
202:147,38[Q  ]| we met, or any lowness of spirits that$6#1$ I could not account$1$ 
202:148,01[Q  ]| for$4$, or if he had talked more of one lady than another, 
202:148,02[Q  ]| or seemed in$4$ any respect$0$ less happy at Longstaple than 
202:148,03[Q  ]| he used to$9$ be.  I do not mean$1$ to$9$ say that$3$ I am particularly 
202:148,04[Q  ]| observant or quick-sighted in$4$ general$0$, but in$4$ 
202:148,05[Q  ]| such a case I am sure I could not be deceived." 
202:148,06[A  ]| "All this," 
202:148,06['  ]| thought$1$ $SS#A$Elinor, 
202:148,06[A  ]| "is very pretty$2$; but it 
202:148,07[A  ]| can impose upon$4$ neither of us." 
202:148,08[A  ]| "But what," 
202:148,08['  ]| said she after$4$ a short silence$0$, 
202:148,08[A  ]| "are your 
202:148,09[A  ]| views?  or have you none but that$6#2$ of waiting for$4$ 
202:148,10[A  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's death, which$6#1$ is a melancholy$2$ and shocking 
202:148,11[A  ]| extremity? ~~ Is her son determined to$9$ submit to$4$ this, 
202:148,12[A  ]| and to$4$ all the tediousness of the many years of suspense 
202:148,13[A  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ it may$1$ involve you, rather than run$1$ the risk$0$ 
202:148,14[A  ]| of her displeasure for$4$ a while$0$ by$4$ owning the truth?" 
202:148,15[Q  ]| "If we could be certain that$3$ it would be only for$4$ 
202:148,16[Q  ]| a while$0$!  But $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars is a very headstrong proud 
202:148,17[Q  ]| woman, and in$4$ her first fit$0$ of anger$0$ upon$4$ hearing it, 
202:148,18[Q  ]| would very likely secure$1$ every*thing to$4$ $SS#J$Robert, and the 
202:148,19[Q  ]| idea of that$6#2$, for$4$ $SS#B$Edward's sake, frightens away all my 
202:148,20[Q  ]| inclination for$4$ hasty measures." 
202:148,21[A  ]| "And for$4$ your own$2$ sake too$5#2$, or you are carrying 
202:148,22[A  ]| your disinterestedness beyond$4$ reason$0$." 
202:148,23['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy looked at $SS#A$Elinor again, and was silent. 
202:148,24[A  ]| "Do you know $SS#J$Mr%*Robert*Ferrars?" 
202:148,24['  ]| asked $SS#A$Elinor. 
202:148,25[Q  ]| "Not at all ~~ I never saw him; but I fancy$1$ he is 
202:148,26[Q  ]| very unlike his brother ~~ silly and a great coxcomb." 
202:148,27[P  ]| "A great coxcomb!" 
202:148,27['  ]| repeated $SS#P$Miss*Steele, whose$6#1$ ear 
202:148,28['  ]| had caught those words by$4$ a sudden$2$ pause$0$ in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's 
202:148,29['  ]| music. ~~ 
202:148,29[P  ]| "Oh! they are talking of their favourite$2$ beaux, 
202:148,30[P  ]| I dare$1#2$ say." 
202:148,31[Q  ]| "No$7$, sister," 
202:148,31['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy, 
202:148,31[Q  ]| "you are mistaken there, 
202:148,32[Q  ]| our favourite$2$ beaux are \not\ great coxcombs." 
202:148,33[K  ]| "I can answer$1$ for$4$ it that$3$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood's is not," 
202:148,34['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, laughing heartily; 
202:148,34[K  ]| "for$3$ he is one 
202:148,35[K  ]| of the modestest, prettiest behaved young men I ever 
202:148,36[K  ]| saw; but as for$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, she is such a sly little creature, 
202:148,37[K  ]| there is no$2$ finding out$5$ who$6#1$ \she\ likes." 
202:148,38[P  ]| "Oh!" 
202:148,38['  ]| cried $SS#P$Miss*Steele, looking significantly round$5$ 
202:149,01['  ]| at them, 
202:149,01[P  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say $SS#Q$Lucy's beau is quite as modest 
202:149,02[P  ]| and pretty$2$ behaved as $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood's." 
202:149,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor blushed in$4$ spite$8$ of herself.  $SS#Q$Lucy bit her lip, 
202:149,04['  ]| and looked angrily at her sister.  A mutual silence$0$ took 
202:149,05['  ]| place$0$ for$4$ some time.  $SS#Q$Lucy first put an end$0$ to$4$ it by$4$ 
202:149,06['  ]| saying in$4$ a lower$2$ tone, though $SS#C$Marianne was then giving 
202:149,07['  ]| them the powerful protection of a very magnificent 
202:149,08['  ]| concerto ~~ 
202:149,09[Q  ]| "I will$1$ honestly tell you of one scheme$0$ which$6#1$ has 
202:149,10[Q  ]| lately come into my head$0$, for$4$ bringing matters to$9$ bear$1$; 
202:149,11[Q  ]| indeed I am bound to$9$ let you into the secret$0$, for$3$ you 
202:149,12[Q  ]| are a party concerned.  I dare$1#2$ say you have seen enough 
202:149,13[Q  ]| of $SS#B$Edward to$9$ know that$3$ he would prefer the church to$4$ 
202:149,14[Q  ]| every other profession$0#2$; now my plan is that$3$ he should 
202:149,15[Q  ]| take orders$0#2$ as soon as he can, and then through$4$ your 
202:149,16[Q  ]| interest$0$, which$6#1$ I am sure you would be kind$2$ enough to$9$ 
202:149,17[Q  ]| use$1$ out$5$ of friendship for$4$ him, and I hope$1$ out$5$ of some 
202:149,18[Q  ]| regard$0$ to$4$ me, your brother might be persuaded to$9$ give 
202:149,19[Q  ]| him Norland living; which$6#1$ I understand is a very good 
202:149,20[Q  ]| one, and the present$2$ incumbent not likely to$9$ live a great 
202:149,21[Q  ]| while$0$.  That$6#2$ would be enough for$4$ us to$9$ marry upon$4$, 
202:149,22[Q  ]| and we might trust$1$ to$4$ time and chance$0$ for$4$ the rest$0#1$." 
202:149,23[A  ]| "I should be always happy," 
202:149,23['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
202:149,23[A  ]| "to$9$ shew$1$ 
202:149,24[A  ]| any mark$0$ of my esteem$0$ and friendship for$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars; 
202:149,25[A  ]| but do not you perceive that$3$ my interest$0$ on$4$ such an 
202:149,26[A  ]| occasion$0$ would be perfectly unnecessary?  He is brother 
202:149,27[A  ]| to$4$ $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood ~~ \that$6#2$\ must be recommendation 
202:149,28[A  ]| enough to$4$ her husband." 
202:149,29[Q  ]| "But $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood would not much approve 
202:149,30[Q  ]| of $SS#B$Edward's going into orders$0#2$." 
202:149,31[A  ]| "Then I rather suspect that$3$ my interest$0$ would do 
202:149,32[A  ]| very little." 
202:149,33['  ]| They were again silent for$4$ many minutes.  At length 
202:149,34['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy exclaimed with a deep sigh$0$, 
202:149,35[Q  ]| "I believe it would be the wisest way to$9$ put an end$0$ 
202:149,36[Q  ]| to$4$ the business at once by$4$ dissolving the engagement. 
202:149,37[Q  ]| We seem so$5#1$ beset with difficulties on$4$ every side$0$, that$3$ 
202:149,38[Q  ]| though it would make$1$ us miserable for$4$ a time, we should 
202:150,01[Q  ]| be happier perhaps in$4$ the end$0$.  But you will$1$ not give 
202:150,02[Q  ]| me your advice, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood?" 
202:150,03[A  ]| "No$7$;" 
202:150,03['  ]| answered $SS#A$Elinor, with a smile$0$, which$6#1$ concealed 
202:150,04['  ]| very agitated feelings, 
202:150,04[A  ]| "on$4$ such a subject$0$ I certainly 
202:150,05[A  ]| will$1$ not.  You know very well$5$ that$3$ my opinion 
202:150,06[A  ]| would have no$2$ weight with you, unless it were on$4$ the 
202:150,07[A  ]| side$0$ of your wishes$0$." 
202:150,08[Q  ]| "Indeed you wrong me," 
202:150,08['  ]| replied $SS#Q$Lucy with great 
202:150,09['  ]| solemnity; 
202:150,09[Q  ]| "I know nobody of whose$6#1$ judgment I think 
202:150,10[Q  ]| so$5#1$ highly as I do of yours; and I do really believe, that$3$ 
202:150,11[Q  ]| if you was to$9$ say to$4$ me, ""I advise you by$4$ all means$0$ to$9$ 
202:150,12[Q  ]| put an end$0$ to$4$ your engagement with $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars, 
202:150,13[Q  ]| it will$1$ be more for$4$ the happiness of both of you,"" I should 
202:150,14[Q  ]| resolve$1$ upon$4$ doing it immediately." 
202:150,15['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor blushed for$4$ the insincerity of $SS#B$Edward's future 
202:150,16['  ]| wife, and replied, 
202:150,16[A  ]| "this compliment$0$ would effectually 
202:150,17[A  ]| frighten me from giving any opinion on$4$ the subject$0$ had 
202:150,18[A  ]| I formed one.  It raises my influence$0$ much too$5#1$ high; 
202:150,19[A  ]| the power of dividing two people so$5#1$ tenderly attached 
202:150,20[A  ]| is too$5#1$ much for$4$ an indifferent person." 
202:150,21[Q  ]| "'Tis because you are an indifferent person," 
202:150,21['  ]| said 
202:150,22['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, with some pique, and laying a particular stress 
202:150,23['  ]| on$4$ those words, 
202:150,23[Q  ]| "that$3$ your judgment might justly have 
202:150,24[Q  ]| such weight with me.  If you could be supposed to$9$ be 
202:150,25[Q  ]| biassed in$4$ any respect$0$ by$4$ your own$2$ feelings, your opinion 
202:150,26[Q  ]| would not be worth having." 
202:150,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor thought$1$ it wisest to$9$ make$1$ no$2$ answer$0$ to$4$ this, 
202:150,28['  ]| lest they might provoke each other to$4$ an unsuitable 
202:150,29['  ]| increase$0$ of ease$0$ and unreserve; and was even$5$ partly 
202:150,30['  ]| determined never to$9$ mention$1$ the subject$0$ again.  Another 
202:150,31['  ]| pause$0$ therefore of many minutes' duration, succeeded 
202:150,32['  ]| this speech, and $SS#Q$Lucy was still$5$ the first to$9$ end$1$ it. 
202:150,33[Q  ]| "Shall you be in$4$ town this winter, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood?" 
202:150,34['  ]| said she with all her accustomary complacency. 
202:150,35[A  ]| "Certainly not." 
202:150,36[Q  ]| "I am sorry for$4$ that$6#2$," 
202:150,37['  ]| returned the other, while$3$ her 
202:150,37['  ]| eyes brightened at the information, 
202:150,37[Q  ]| "it would have gave 
202:150,38[Q  ]| me such pleasure to$9$ meet$1$ you there!  But I dare$1#2$ say 
202:151,01[Q  ]| you will$1$ go for$4$ all that$6#2$.  To$9$ be sure, your brother and 
202:151,02[Q  ]| sister will$1$ ask you to$9$ come to$4$ them." 
202:151,03[A  ]| "It will$1$ not be in$4$ my power to$9$ accept their invitation 
202:151,04[A  ]| if they do." 
202:151,05[Q  ]| "How unlucky that$6#2$ is!  I had quite depended upon$4$ 
202:151,06[Q  ]| meeting you there.  $SS#P$Anne and me are to$9$ go the latter 
202:151,07[Q  ]| end$0$ of January to$4$ some relations who$6#1$ have been wanting 
202:151,08[Q  ]| us to$9$ visit$1$ them these several years!  But I only go for$4$ 
202:151,09[Q  ]| the sake of seeing $SS#B$Edward.  He will$1$ be there in$4$ February, 
202:151,10[Q  ]| otherwise London would have no$2$ charms for$4$ me; I have 
202:151,11[Q  ]| not spirits for$4$ it." 
202:151,12['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was soon called to$4$ the card-table by$4$ the conclusion 
202:151,13['  ]| of the first rubber, and the confidential discourse 
202:151,14['  ]| of the two ladies was therefore at an end$0$, to$4$ which$6#1$ both 
202:151,15['  ]| of them submitted without any reluctance, for$3$ nothing 
202:151,16['  ]| had been said on$4$ either side$0$, to$9$ make$1$ them dislike$1$ each 
202:151,17['  ]| other less than they had done before$5$; and $SS#A$Elinor sat 
202:151,18['  ]| down$5$ to$4$ the card*table with the melancholy$2$ persuasion 
202:151,19['  ]| that$3$ 
202:151,19@a   | $SS#B$Edward was not only without affection for$4$ the 
202:151,20@a   | person who$6#1$ was to$9$ be his wife; but that$3$ he had not 
202:151,21@a   | even$5$ the chance$0$ of being$1$ tolerably happy in$4$ marriage, 
202:151,22@a   | which$6#1$ sincere affection on$4$ \her\ side$0$ would have given, 
202:151,23@a   | for$3$ self-interest alone could induce a woman to$9$ keep 
202:151,24@a   | a man to$4$ an engagement, of which$6#1$ she seemed so$5#1$ 
202:151,25@a   | thoroughly aware that$3$ he was weary. 
202:151,26['  ]| From this time the subject$0$ was never revived by$4$ 
202:151,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, and when entered on$5$ by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ seldom 
202:151,28['  ]| missed an opportunity of introducing it, and was particularly 
202:151,29['  ]| careful to$9$ inform her confidante, of her happiness 
202:151,30['  ]| whenever she received a letter from $SS#B$Edward, it was 
202:151,31['  ]| treated by$4$ the former with calmness and caution$0$, and 
202:151,32['  ]| dismissed as soon as civility would allow; for$3$ she felt 
202:151,33['  ]| such conversations to$9$ be an indulgence which$6#1$ $SS#Q$Lucy did 
202:151,34['  ]| not deserve, and which$6#1$ were dangerous to$4$ herself. 
202:151,35['  ]| The visit$0$ of the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles at Barton*Park was 
202:151,36['  ]| lengthened far beyond$4$ what the first invitation implied. 
202:151,37['  ]| Their favour$0$ increased, they could not be spared; $SS#L$Sir*John 
202:151,38['  ]| would not hear of their going; and in$4$ spite$8$ of their 
202:152,01['  ]| numerous and long arranged engagements in$4$ Exeter, in$4$ 
202:152,02['  ]| spite$8$ of the absolute necessity of their returning to$9$ fulfil 
202:152,03['  ]| them immediately, which$6#1$ was in$4$ full force$0$ at the end$0$ of 
202:152,04['  ]| every week, they were prevailed on$5$ to$9$ stay$1$ nearly two 
202:152,05['  ]| months at the park, and to$9$ assist in$4$ the due$2$ celebration 
202:152,06['  ]| of that$6#2$ festival which$6#1$ requires a more than ordinary 
202:152,07['  ]| share$0$ of private$2$ balls and large dinners to$9$ proclaim its 
202:152,08['  ]| importance. 
203:153,01['  ]| Though $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was in$4$ the habit of spending 
203:153,02['  ]| a large portion of the year at the houses of her children 
203:153,03['  ]| and friends, she was not without a settled habitation of 
203:153,04['  ]| her own$2$.  Since the death of her husband, who$6#1$ had 
203:153,05['  ]| traded with success in$4$ a less elegant part$0$ of town, 
203:153,06['  ]| she had resided every winter in$4$ a house in$4$ one of the 
203:153,07['  ]| streets near$4$ Portman-square.  Towards this home, she 
203:153,08['  ]| began on$4$ the approach$0$ of January to$9$ turn$1$ her thoughts, 
203:153,09['  ]| and thither she one day abruptly, and very unexpectedly 
203:153,10['  ]| by$4$ them, asked the elder $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods to$9$ accompany 
203:153,11['  ]| her.  $SS#A$Elinor, without observing the varying complexion 
203:153,12['  ]| of her sister, and the animated look$0$ which$6#1$ spoke no$2$ 
203:153,13['  ]| indifference to$4$ the plan, immediately gave a grateful 
203:153,14['  ]| but absolute denial for$4$ both, in$4$ which$6#1$ she believed herself 
203:153,15['  ]| to$9$ be speaking their united inclinations.  The reason$0$ 
203:153,16['  ]| alleged was their determined resolution of not leaving 
203:153,17['  ]| their mother at that$6#2$ time of year.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
203:153,18['  ]| received the refusal with some surprize$0$, and repeated 
203:153,19['  ]| her invitation immediately. 
203:153,20[K  ]| "Oh!  Lord$7$, I am sure your mother can spare$1$ you 
203:153,21[K  ]| very well$5$, and I \do\ beg you will$1$ favour$1$ me with your 
203:153,22[K  ]| company, for$3$ I've quite set$1$ my heart upon$4$ it.  Don't 
203:153,23[K  ]| fancy$1$ that$3$ you will$1$ be any inconvenience to$4$ me, for$3$ 
203:153,24[K  ]| I shan't put myself at all out$5$ of my way for$4$ you.  It 
203:153,25[K  ]| will$1$ only be sending $SS#ZA$Betty by$4$ the coach, and I hope$1$ 
203:153,26[K  ]| I can afford \that$6#2$\.  We three shall be able to$9$ go very 
203:153,27[K  ]| well$5$ in$4$ my chaise; and when we are in$4$ town, if you do 
203:153,28[K  ]| not like$1$ to$9$ go wherever I do, well$5$ and good, you may$1$ 
203:153,29[K  ]| always go with one of my daughters.  I am sure your 
203:153,30[K  ]| mother will$1$ not object$1$ to$4$ it; for$3$ I have had such good 
203:153,31[K  ]| luck in$4$ getting my own$2$ children off my hands, that$3$ she 
203:153,32[K  ]| will$1$ think me a very fit$2$ person to$9$ have the charge$0$ of 
203:153,33[K  ]| you; and if I don't get one of you at least well$5$ married 
203:154,01[K  ]| before$3$ I have done with you, it shall not be my fault. 
203:154,02[K  ]| I shall speak a good word for$4$ you to$4$ all the young men, 
203:154,03[K  ]| you may$1$ depend upon$4$ it." 
203:154,04[L  ]| "I have a notion," 
203:154,04['  ]| said $SS#L$Sir*John, 
203:154,04[L  ]| "that$3$ $SS#C$Miss*Marianne 
203:154,05[L  ]| would not object$1$ to$4$ such a scheme$0$, if her elder sister 
203:154,06[L  ]| would come into it.  It is very hard indeed that$3$ she 
203:154,07[L  ]| should not have a little pleasure, because $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood 
203:154,08[L  ]| does not wish$1$ it.  So$3$ I would advise you two, to$9$ set$1$ off 
203:154,09[L  ]| for$4$ town, when you are tired of Barton, without saying 
203:154,10[L  ]| a word to$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood about$4$ it." 
203:154,11[K  ]| "Nay," 
203:154,11['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
203:154,11[K  ]| "I am sure I shall be 
203:154,12[K  ]| monstrous glad of $SS#C$Miss*Marianne's company, whether 
203:154,13[K  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood will$1$ go or not, only the more the merrier 
203:154,14[K  ]| say I, and I thought$1$ it would be more comfortable for$4$ 
203:154,15[K  ]| them to$9$ be together; because if they got tired of me, 
203:154,16[K  ]| they might talk$1$ to$4$ one another, and laugh$1$ at my odd 
203:154,17[K  ]| ways behind my back$0$.  But one or the other, if not 
203:154,18[K  ]| both of them, I must have.  Lord$7$ bless me! how do 
203:154,19[K  ]| you think I can live poking by$4$ myself, I who$6#1$ have been 
203:154,20[K  ]| always used till this winter to$9$ have $SS#O$Charlotte with me. 
203:154,21[K  ]| Come, $SS#C$Miss*Marianne, let us strike hands upon$4$ the 
203:154,22[K  ]| bargain, and if $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood will$1$ change$1$ her mind$0$ 
203:154,23[K  ]| by*and*bye, why so$5#1$ much the better." 
203:154,24[C  ]| "I thank you, ma'am, sincerely thank you," 
203:154,24['  ]| said 
203:154,25['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, with warmth; 
203:154,25[C  ]| "your invitation has insured 
203:154,26[C  ]| my gratitude for*ever, and it would give me such happiness, 
203:154,27[C  ]| yes almost the greatest happiness I am capable of, 
203:154,28[C  ]| to$9$ be able to$9$ accept it.  But my mother, my dearest, 
203:154,29[C  ]| kindest mother, ~~ I feel the justice of what $SS#A$Elinor has 
203:154,30[C  ]| urged, and if she were to$9$ be made less happy, less comfortable 
203:154,31[C  ]| by$4$ our absence ~~ Oh! no$7$, nothing should tempt 
203:154,32[C  ]| me to$9$ leave$1$ her.  It should not, must not be a struggle$0$." 
203:154,33['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings repeated her assurance that$3$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
203:154,34['  ]| could spare$1$ them perfectly well$5$; and $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ 
203:154,35['  ]| now understood her sister, and saw to$4$ what indifference 
203:154,36['  ]| to$4$ almost every*thing else, she was carried by$4$ her eagerness 
203:154,37['  ]| to$9$ be with $SS#R$Willoughby again, made no$2$ farther direct$2$ 
203:154,38['  ]| opposition to$4$ the plan, and merely referred it to$4$ her 
203:155,01['  ]| mother's decision, from whom$6#1$ however she scarcely 
203:155,02['  ]| expected to$9$ receive any support$0$ in$4$ her endeavour$0$ to$9$ 
203:155,03['  ]| prevent a visit$0$, which$6#1$ she could not approve of for$4$ 
203:155,04['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, and which$6#1$ on$4$ her own$2$ account$0$ she had 
203:155,05['  ]| particular reasons to$9$ avoid. 
203:155,05@a   | Whatever $SS#C$Marianne was 
203:155,05@a   | desirous of, her mother would be eager to$9$ promote ~~ 
203:155,06@a   | she could not expect to$9$ influence$1$ the latter to$4$ cautiousness 
203:155,07@a   | of conduct$0$ in$4$ an affair, respecting which$6#1$ she had 
203:155,08@a   | never been able to$9$ inspire her with distrust$0$; and she 
203:155,09@a   | dared not explain the motive of her own$2$ disinclination 
203:155,10@a   | for$4$ going to$4$ London. 
203:155,11['  ]| That$3$ $SS#C$Marianne, fastidious as she 
203:155,12['  ]| was, thoroughly acquainted with $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings' manners, 
203:155,13['  ]| and invariably disgusted by$4$ them, should overlook every 
203:155,14['  ]| inconvenience of that$6#2$ kind$0$, should disregard whatever 
203:155,15['  ]| must be most wounding to$4$ her irritable feelings, in$4$ her 
203:155,16['  ]| pursuit of one object$0$, was such a proof, so$5#1$ strong, so$5#1$ 
203:155,17['  ]| full, of the importance of that$6#2$ object$0$ to$4$ her, as $SS#A$Elinor, 
203:155,18['  ]| in$4$ spite$8$ of all that$6#1$ had passed, was not prepared to$9$ 
203:155,19['  ]| witness$1$. 
203:155,20['  ]| On$4$ being$1$ informed of the invitation, $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
203:155,21['  ]| persuaded that$3$ such an excursion would be productive 
203:155,22['  ]| of much amusement to$4$ both her daughters, and perceiving 
203:155,23['  ]| through$4$ all her affectionate attention to$4$ herself, 
203:155,24['  ]| how much the heart of $SS#C$Marianne was in$4$ it, would not 
203:155,25['  ]| hear of their declining the offer$0$ upon$4$ \her\ account$0$; 
203:155,26['  ]| insisted on$4$ their both accepting it directly, and then 
203:155,27['  ]| began to$9$ foresee with her usual cheerfulness, a variety 
203:155,28['  ]| of advantages that$3$ would accrue to$4$ them all, from this 
203:155,29['  ]| separation. 
203:155,30[D  ]| "I am delighted with the plan," 
203:155,30['  ]| she cried, 
203:155,30[D  ]| "it is 
203:155,31[D  ]| exactly what I could wish$1$.  $SS#E$Margaret and I shall be as 
203:155,32[D  ]| much benefited by$4$ it as yourselves.  When you and the 
203:155,33[D  ]| $SS#L1$Middletons are gone, we shall go on$5$ so$5#1$ quietly and 
203:155,34[D  ]| happily together with our books and our music!  You 
203:155,35[D  ]| will$1$ find $SS#E$Margaret so$5#1$ improved when you come back$5$ 
203:155,36[D  ]| again!  And I have a little plan of alteration for$4$ your 
203:155,37[D  ]| bedrooms too$5#2$, which$6#1$ may$1$ now be performed without 
203:155,38[D  ]| inconvenience to$4$ any*one.  It is very right$2#1$ that$3$ you 
203:156,01[D  ]| \should\ go to$4$ town; I would have every young woman 
203:156,02[D  ]| of your condition$0$ in$4$ life, acquainted with the manners 
203:156,03[D  ]| and amusements of London.  You will$1$ be under the 
203:156,04[D  ]| care$0$ of a motherly good sort of woman, of whose$6#1$ 
203:156,05[D  ]| kindness to$4$ you I can have no$2$ doubt$0$.  And in$4$ all 
203:156,06[D  ]| probability you will$1$ see your brother, and whatever 
203:156,07[D  ]| may$1$ be his faults, or the faults of his wife, when I consider 
203:156,08[D  ]| whose$6#1$ son he is, I cannot bear$1$ to$9$ have you so$5#1$ 
203:156,09[D  ]| wholly estranged from each other." 
203:156,10[A  ]| "Though with your usual anxiety for$4$ our happiness," 
203:156,11['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
203:156,11[A  ]| "you have been obviating every impediment 
203:156,12[A  ]| to$4$ the present$2$ scheme$0$ which$6#1$ occurred to$4$ you, there is 
203:156,13[A  ]| still$5$ one objection which$6#1$, in$4$ my opinion, cannot be so$5#1$ 
203:156,14[A  ]| easily removed." 
203:156,15['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's countenance sunk. 
203:156,16[D  ]| "And what," 
203:156,16['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
203:156,16[D  ]| "is my dear$2#1$ 
203:156,17[D  ]| prudent $SS#A$Elinor going to$9$ suggest?  What formidable 
203:156,18[D  ]| obstacle is she now to$9$ bring forward$5$?  Do not let me 
203:156,19[D  ]| hear a word about$4$ the expense of it." 
203:156,20[A  ]| "My objection is this; though I think very well$5$ of 
203:156,21[A  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings' heart, she is not a woman whose$6#1$ society 
203:156,22[A  ]| can afford us pleasure, or whose$6#1$ protection will$1$ give us 
203:156,23[A  ]| consequence." 
203:156,24[D  ]| "That$6#2$ is very true," 
203:156,24['  ]| replied her mother; 
203:156,24[D  ]| "but of 
203:156,25[D  ]| her society, separately from that$6#2$ of other people, you 
203:156,26[D  ]| will$1$ scarcely have any*thing at all, and you will$1$ almost 
203:156,27[D  ]| always appear in$4$ public$0$ with $SS#M$Lady*Middleton." 
203:156,28[C  ]| "If $SS#A$Elinor is frightened away by$4$ her dislike$0$ of 
203:156,29[C  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings," 
203:156,29['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
203:156,29[C  ]| "at least it need$1$ not 
203:156,30[C  ]| prevent \my\ accepting her invitation.  I have no$2$ such 
203:156,31[C  ]| scruples, and I am sure, I could put up$5$ with every 
203:156,32[C  ]| unpleasantness of that$6#2$ kind$0$ with very little effort." 
203:156,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not help$1$ smiling at this display$0$ of 
203:156,34['  ]| indifference towards the manners of a person, to$4$ whom$6#1$ 
203:156,35['  ]| she had often had difficulty in$4$ persuading $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ 
203:156,36['  ]| behave with tolerable politeness:  and resolved within 
203:156,37['  ]| herself, that$3$ 
203:156,37@a   | if her sister persisted in$4$ going, she would 
203:156,38@a   | go likewise, as she did not think it proper that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne 
203:157,01@a   | should be left to$4$ the sole guidance of her own$2$ judgment, 
203:157,02@a   | or that$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings should be abandoned to$4$ the mercy 
203:157,03@a   | of $SS#C$Marianne for$4$ all the comfort$0$ of her domestic$2$ hours. 
203:157,04['  ]| To$4$ this determination she was the more easily reconciled, 
203:157,05['  ]| by$4$ recollecting, that$3$ $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars, by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy's account$0$, 
203:157,06['  ]| was not to$9$ be in$4$ town before$4$ February; and that$3$ their 
203:157,07['  ]| visit$0$, without any unreasonable abridgment, might be 
203:157,08['  ]| previously finished. 
203:157,09[D  ]| "I will$1$ have you \both\ go," 
203:157,09['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood; 
203:157,10[D  ]| "these objections are nonsensical.  You will$1$ have much 
203:157,11[D  ]| pleasure in$4$ being$1$ in$4$ London, and especially in$4$ being$1$ 
203:157,12[D  ]| together; and if $SS#A$Elinor would ever condescend to$9$ anticipate 
203:157,13[D  ]| enjoyment, she would foresee it there from 
203:157,14[D  ]| a variety of sources; she would perhaps expect some 
203:157,15[D  ]| from improving her acquaintance with her sister-in-law's 
203:157,16[D  ]| family." 
203:157,17['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had often wished for$4$ an opportunity of attempting 
203:157,18['  ]| to$9$ weaken her mother's dependence on$4$ the attachment 
203:157,19['  ]| of $SS#B$Edward and herself, that$3$ the shock$0$ might be 
203:157,20['  ]| the less when the whole$2$ truth were revealed, and now 
203:157,21['  ]| on$4$ this attack$0$, though almost hopeless of success, she 
203:157,22['  ]| forced herself to$9$ begin her design$0$ by$4$ saying, as calmly 
203:157,23['  ]| as she could, 
203:157,23[A  ]| "I like$1$ $SS#B$Edward*Ferrars very much, and 
203:157,24[A  ]| shall always be glad to$9$ see him; but as to$4$ the rest$0#1$ of 
203:157,25[A  ]| the family, it is a matter of perfect$2$ indifference to$4$ me, 
203:157,26[A  ]| whether I am ever known to$4$ them or not." 
203:157,27['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood smiled and said nothing.  $SS#C$Marianne 
203:157,28['  ]| lifted up$5$ her eyes in$4$ astonishment, and $SS#A$Elinor conjectured 
203:157,29['  ]| that$3$ she might as well$5$ have held her tongue. 
203:157,30['  ]| After$4$ very little farther discourse, it was finally settled 
203:157,31['  ]| that$3$ the invitation should be fully accepted.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
203:157,32['  ]| received the information with a great deal$0$ of joy, 
203:157,33['  ]| and many assurances of kindness and care$0$; nor was it 
203:157,34['  ]| a matter of pleasure merely to$4$ her.  $SS#L$Sir*John was 
203:157,35['  ]| delighted; for$3$ to$4$ a man, whose$6#1$ prevailing anxiety was 
203:157,36['  ]| the dread$0$ of being$1$ alone, the acquisition of two, to$4$ the 
203:157,37['  ]| number of inhabitants in$4$ London, was something.  Even$5$ 
203:157,38['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton took the trouble$0$ of being$1$ delighted, 
203:158,01['  ]| which$6#1$ was putting herself rather out$5$ of her way; and 
203:158,02['  ]| as for$4$ the $SS#P$Miss*Steeles, especially $SS#Q$Lucy, 
203:158,02@y   | they had never 
203:158,03@y   | been so$5#1$ happy in$4$ their lives$0$ as this intelligence made 
203:158,04@y   | them. 
203:158,05['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor submitted to$4$ the arrangement which$6#1$ counteracted 
203:158,06['  ]| her wishes$0$, with less reluctance than she had 
203:158,07['  ]| expected to$9$ feel.  With regard$0$ to$4$ herself, it was now 
203:158,08['  ]| a matter of unconcern whether she went to$4$ town or not, 
203:158,09['  ]| and when she saw her mother so$5#1$ thoroughly pleased 
203:158,10['  ]| with the plan, and her sister exhilarated by$4$ it in$4$ look$0$, 
203:158,11['  ]| voice, and manner, restored to$4$ all her usual animation, 
203:158,12['  ]| and elevated to$4$ more than her usual gaiety, she could 
203:158,13['  ]| not be dissatisfied with the cause, and would hardly 
203:158,14['  ]| allow herself to$9$ distrust$1$ the consequence. 
203:158,15['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's joy was almost a degree beyond$4$ happiness, 
203:158,16['  ]| so$5#1$ great was the perturbation of her spirits and her 
203:158,17['  ]| impatience to$9$ be gone.  Her unwillingness to$9$ quit her 
203:158,18['  ]| mother was her only restorative to$4$ calmness; and at 
203:158,19['  ]| the moment of parting, her grief on$4$ that$6#2$ score was 
203:158,20['  ]| excessive.  Her mother's affliction was hardly less, and 
203:158,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was the only one of the three, who$6#1$ seemed to$9$ 
203:158,22['  ]| consider the separation as any*thing short of eternal. 
203:158,23['  ]| Their departure took place$0$ in$4$ the first week in$4$ January. 
203:158,24['  ]| The $SS#L1$Middletons were to$9$ follow in$4$ about$4$ a week.  The 
203:158,25['  ]| $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles kept their station at the park, and were to$9$ 
203:158,26['  ]| quit it only with the rest$0#1$ of the family. 
204:159,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not find herself in$4$ the carriage with 
204:159,02['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, and beginning a journey to$4$ London under 
204:159,03['  ]| her protection, and as her guest, without wondering at 
204:159,04['  ]| her own$2$ situation, so$5#1$ short had their acquaintance with 
204:159,05['  ]| that$6#2$ lady been, so$5#1$ wholly unsuited were they in$4$ age and 
204:159,06['  ]| disposition, and so$5#1$ many had been her objections against 
204:159,07['  ]| such a measure$0$ only a few days before$5$!  But these 
204:159,08['  ]| objections had all, with that$6#2$ happy ardour of youth 
204:159,09['  ]| which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne and her mother equally shared, been 
204:159,10['  ]| overcome or overlooked; and $SS#A$Elinor, in$4$ spite$8$ of every 
204:159,11['  ]| occasional doubt$0$ of $SS#R$Willoughby's constancy, could not 
204:159,12['  ]| witness$1$ the rapture of delightful expectation which$6#1$ filled 
204:159,13['  ]| the whole$2$ soul and beamed in$4$ the eyes of $SS#C$Marianne, 
204:159,14['  ]| without feeling how blank$2$ was her own$2$ prospect, how 
204:159,15['  ]| cheerless her own$2$ state$0$ of mind$0$ in$4$ the comparison, and 
204:159,16['  ]| how gladly she would engage in$4$ the solicitude of $SS#C$Marianne's 
204:159,17['  ]| situation to$9$ have the same animating object$0$ in$4$ 
204:159,18['  ]| view$0$, the same possibility of hope$0$. 
204:159,18@a   | A short, a very 
204:159,19@a   | short time however must now decide what $SS#R$Willoughby's 
204:159,20@a   | intentions were; in$4$ all probability he was already in$4$ 
204:159,21@a   | town.  $SS#C$Marianne's eagerness to$9$ be gone declared her 
204:159,22@a   | dependance on$4$ finding him there; 
204:159,22['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor was 
204:159,23['  ]| resolved not only upon$4$ gaining every new light$0$ as to$4$ his 
204:159,24['  ]| character which$6#1$ her own$2$ observation or the intelligence 
204:159,25['  ]| of others could give her, but likewise upon$4$ watching his 
204:159,26['  ]| behaviour to$4$ her sister with such zealous attention, as 
204:159,27['  ]| to$9$ ascertain what he was and what he meant, before$3$ 
204:159,28['  ]| many meetings had taken place$0$.  Should the result$0$ of 
204:159,29['  ]| her observations be unfavourable, she was determined 
204:159,30['  ]| at all events to$9$ open$1$ the eyes of her sister; should it 
204:159,31['  ]| be otherwise, her exertions would be of a different 
204:159,32['  ]| nature ~~ she must then learn to$9$ avoid every selfish comparison, 
204:159,33['  ]| and banish every regret$0$ which$6#1$ might lessen her 
204:159,34['  ]| satisfaction in$4$ the happiness of $SS#C$Marianne. 
204:160,01['  ]| They were three days on$4$ their journey, and $SS#C$Marianne's 
204:160,02['  ]| behaviour as they travelled was a happy specimen of 
204:160,03['  ]| what her future complaisance and companionableness 
204:160,04['  ]| to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings might be expected to$9$ be.  She sat in$4$ 
204:160,05['  ]| silence$0$ almost all the way, wrapt in$4$ her own$2$ meditations, 
204:160,06['  ]| and scarcely ever voluntarily speaking, except when any 
204:160,07['  ]| object$0$ of picturesque beauty within their view$0$ drew from 
204:160,08['  ]| her an exclamation of delight$0$ exclusively addressed to$4$ 
204:160,09['  ]| her sister.  To$9$ atone for$4$ this conduct$0$ therefore, $SS#A$Elinor 
204:160,10['  ]| took immediate possession of the post of civility which$6#1$ 
204:160,11['  ]| she had assigned herself, behaved with the greatest 
204:160,12['  ]| attention to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, talked with her, laughed 
204:160,13['  ]| with her, and listened to$4$ her whenever she could; and 
204:160,14['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings on$4$ her side$0$ treated them both with all 
204:160,15['  ]| possible kindness, was solicitous on$4$ every occasion$0$ for$4$ 
204:160,16['  ]| their ease$0$ and enjoyment, and only disturbed that$3$ she 
204:160,17['  ]| could not make$1$ them choose their own$2$ dinners at the 
204:160,18['  ]| inn, nor extort a confession of their preferring salmon 
204:160,19['  ]| to$4$ cod, or boiled fowls to$4$ veal cutlets.  They reached 
204:160,20['  ]| town by$4$ three o'clock the third day, glad to$9$ be released, 
204:160,21['  ]| after$4$ such a journey, from the confinement of a carriage, 
204:160,22['  ]| and ready to$9$ enjoy all the luxury of a good fire$0$. 
204:160,23['  ]| The house was handsome and handsomely fitted up$5$, 
204:160,24['  ]| and the young ladies were immediately put in$4$ possession 
204:160,25['  ]| of a very comfortable apartment.  It had formerly been 
204:160,26['  ]| $SS#O$Charlotte's, and over the mantlepiece still$5$ hung a landscape 
204:160,27['  ]| in$4$ coloured silks of her performance, in$4$ proof of 
204:160,28['  ]| her having spent seven years at a great school in$4$ town 
204:160,29['  ]| to$4$ some effect$0$. 
204:160,30['  ]| As dinner was not to$9$ be ready in$4$ less than two hours 
204:160,31['  ]| from their arrival, $SS#A$Elinor determined to$9$ employ the 
204:160,32['  ]| interval in$4$ writing to$4$ her mother, and sat down$5$ for$4$ that$6#2$ 
204:160,33['  ]| purpose.  In$4$ a few moments $SS#C$Marianne did the same. 
204:160,34[A  ]| "\I\ am writing home, $SS#C$Marianne," 
204:160,34['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor; 
204:160,34[A  ]| "had 
204:160,35[A  ]| not you better defer your letter for$4$ a day or two?" 
204:160,36[C  ]| "I am \not\ going to$9$ write to$4$ my mother," 
204:160,36['  ]| replied 
204:160,37['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne hastily, and as if wishing to$9$ avoid any farther 
204:160,38['  ]| inquiry.  $SS#A$Elinor said no$2$ more; it immediately struck 
204:161,01['  ]| her that$3$ 
204:161,01@a   | she must then be writing to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, 
204:161,01['  ]| and 
204:161,02['  ]| the conclusion which$6#1$ as instantly followed was, that$3$ 
204:161,03@a   | however mysteriously they might wish$1$ to$9$ conduct$1$ the 
204:161,04@a   | affair, they must be engaged.  
204:161,04['  ]| This conviction, though 
204:161,05['  ]| not entirely satisfactory, gave her pleasure, and she 
204:161,06['  ]| continued her letter with greater alacrity.  $SS#C$Marianne's 
204:161,07['  ]| was finished in$4$ a very few minutes; in$4$ length it could 
204:161,08['  ]| be no$2$ more than a note$0$:  it was then folded up$5$, sealed 
204:161,09['  ]| and directed with eager rapidity.  $SS#A$Elinor thought$1$ she 
204:161,10['  ]| could distinguish a large $SS#R$W% in$4$ the direction, and no$2$ 
204:161,11['  ]| sooner was it complete$2$ than $SS#C$Marianne, ringing the bell, 
204:161,12['  ]| requested the footman who$6#1$ answered it, to$9$ get that$6#2$ 
204:161,13['  ]| letter conveyed for$4$ her to$4$ the two-penny post.  This 
204:161,14['  ]| decided the matter at once. 
204:161,15['  ]| Her spirits still$5$ continued very high, but there was 
204:161,16['  ]| a flutter in$4$ them which$6#1$ prevented their giving much 
204:161,17['  ]| pleasure to$4$ her sister, and this agitation increased as 
204:161,18['  ]| the evening drew on$5$.  She could scarcely eat any dinner, 
204:161,19['  ]| and when they afterwards returned to$4$ the drawing*room, 
204:161,20['  ]| seemed anxiously listening to$4$ the sound$0$ of every carriage. 
204:161,21['  ]| It was a great satisfaction to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor that$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
204:161,22['  ]| by$4$ being$1$ much engaged in$4$ her own$2$ room, could see little 
204:161,23['  ]| of what was passing.  The tea things were brought in$5$, 
204:161,24['  ]| and already had $SS#C$Marianne been disappointed more than 
204:161,25['  ]| once by$4$ a rap at a neighbouring door, when a loud one 
204:161,26['  ]| was suddenly heard which$6#1$ could not be mistaken for$4$ one 
204:161,27['  ]| at any other house.  $SS#A$Elinor felt secure$2$ of its announcing 
204:161,28['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby's approach$0$, and $SS#C$Marianne starting up$5$ moved 
204:161,29['  ]| towards the door.  Every*thing was silent; this could 
204:161,30['  ]| not be borne many seconds, she opened the door, 
204:161,31['  ]| advanced a few steps towards the stairs, and after$4$ 
204:161,32['  ]| listening half a minute$0$, returned into the room in$4$ all 
204:161,33['  ]| the agitation which$6#1$ a conviction of having heard him 
204:161,34['  ]| would naturally produce; in$4$ the extasy of her feelings 
204:161,35['  ]| at that$6#2$ instant$0$ she could not help$1$ exclaiming, 
204:161,35[C  ]| "Oh! 
204:161,36[C  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, it is $SS#R$Willoughby, indeed it is!" 
204:161,36['  ]| and seemed 
204:161,37['  ]| almost ready to$9$ throw$1$ herself into his arms, when 
204:161,38['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon appeared. 
204:162,01['  ]| It was too$5#1$ great a shock$0$ to$9$ be borne with calmness, 
204:162,02['  ]| and she immediately left the room.  $SS#A$Elinor was disappointed 
204:162,03['  ]| too$5#2$; but at the same time her regard$0$ for$4$ 
204:162,04['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon ensured his welcome$0$ with her, and she 
204:162,05['  ]| felt particularly hurt that$3$ a man so$5#1$ partial to$4$ her sister 
204:162,06['  ]| should perceive that$3$ she experienced nothing but grief 
204:162,07['  ]| and disappointment in$4$ seeing him.  She instantly saw 
204:162,08['  ]| that$3$ it was not unnoticed by$4$ him, that$3$ he even$5$ observed 
204:162,09['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne as she quitted the room, with such astonishment 
204:162,10['  ]| and concern$0$, as hardly left him the recollection of 
204:162,11['  ]| what civility demanded towards herself. 
204:162,12[H  ]| "Is your sister ill?" 
204:162,12['  ]| said he. 
204:162,13['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor answered in$4$ some distress$0$ that$3$ she was, and 
204:162,14['  ]| then talked of head-aches, low spirits, and over*fatigues; 
204:162,15['  ]| and of every*thing to$4$ which$6#1$ she could decently attribute 
204:162,16['  ]| her sister's behaviour. 
204:162,17['  ]| He heard her with the most earnest attention, but 
204:162,18['  ]| seeming to$9$ recollect himself, said no$2$ more on$4$ the subject$0$, 
204:162,19['  ]| and began directly to$9$ speak of his pleasure at seeing 
204:162,20['  ]| them in$4$ London, making the usual inquiries about$4$ their 
204:162,21['  ]| journey and the friends they had left behind. 
204:162,22['  ]| In$4$ this calm$2$ kind$0$ of way, with very little interest$0$ on$4$ 
204:162,23['  ]| either side$0$, they continued to$9$ talk$1$, both of them out$5$ of 
204:162,24['  ]| spirits, and the thoughts of both engaged elsewhere. 
204:162,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor wished very much to$9$ ask whether $SS#R$Willoughby 
204:162,26['  ]| were then in$4$ town, but she was afraid of giving him 
204:162,27['  ]| pain$0$ by$4$ any inquiry after$4$ his rival; and at length by$4$ 
204:162,28['  ]| way of saying something, she asked if he had been in$4$ 
204:162,29['  ]| London ever since she had seen him last$2$. 
204:162,29[H  ]| "Yes," 
204:162,29['  ]| he 
204:162,30['  ]| replied, with some embarrassment, 
204:162,30[H  ]| "almost ever since; 
204:162,31[H  ]| I have been once or twice at Delaford for$4$ a few days, 
204:162,32[H  ]| but it has never been in$4$ my power to$9$ return$1$ to$4$ Barton." 
204:162,33['  ]| This, and the manner in$4$ which$6#1$ it was said, immediately 
204:162,34['  ]| brought back$5$ to$4$ her remembrance, all the circumstances 
204:162,35['  ]| of his quitting that$6#2$ place$0$, with the uneasiness and 
204:162,36['  ]| suspicions they had caused to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, and she 
204:162,37['  ]| was fearful that$3$ her question$0$ had implied much more 
204:162,38['  ]| curiosity on$4$ the subject$0$ than she had ever felt. 
204:163,01['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings soon came in$5$. 
204:163,01[K  ]| "Oh! $SS#H$Colonel," 
204:163,01['  ]| said 
204:163,02['  ]| she, with her usual noisy cheerfulness, 
204:163,02[K  ]| "I am monstrous 
204:163,03[K  ]| glad to$9$ see you ~~ sorry I could not come before$5$ ~~ beg 
204:163,04[K  ]| your pardon$0$, but I have been forced to$9$ look$1$ about$4$ me 
204:163,05[K  ]| a little, and settle my matters; for$3$ it is a long while$0$ 
204:163,06[K  ]| since I have been at home, and you know one has always 
204:163,07[K  ]| a world of little odd things to$9$ do after$3$ one has been 
204:163,08[K  ]| away for$4$ any time; and then I have had $SS#ZF$Cartwright 
204:163,09[K  ]| to$9$ settle with ~~ Lord$7$, I have been as busy as a bee ever 
204:163,10[K  ]| since dinner!  But pray, $SS#H$Colonel, how came you to$9$ 
204:163,11[K  ]| conjure out$5$ that$3$ I should be in$4$ town to-day?" 
204:163,12[H  ]| "I had the pleasure of hearing it at $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer's, 
204:163,13[H  ]| where I have been dining." 
204:163,14[K  ]| "Oh! you did; well$7$, and how do they all do at 
204:163,15[K  ]| their house?  How does $SS#O$Charlotte do?  I warrant you 
204:163,16[K  ]| she is a fine size by$4$ this time." 
204:163,17[H  ]| "$SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer appeared quite well$5$, and I am commissioned 
204:163,18[H  ]| to$9$ tell you, that$3$ you will$1$ certainly see her 
204:163,19[H  ]| to-morrow." 
204:163,20[K  ]| "Aye, to$9$ be sure, I thought$1$ as much.  Well$7$, $SS#H$Colonel, 
204:163,21[K  ]| I have brought two young ladies with me, you see ~~ 
204:163,22[K  ]| that$6#2$ is, you see but one of them now, but there is another 
204:163,23[K  ]| somewhere.  Your friend $SS#C$Miss*Marianne, too$5#2$ ~~ which$6#1$ you 
204:163,24[K  ]| will$1$ not be sorry to$9$ hear.  I do not know what you and 
204:163,25[K  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby will$1$ do between you about$4$ her.  Aye, 
204:163,26[K  ]| it is a fine thing to$9$ be young and handsome.  Well$7$! 
204:163,27[K  ]| I was young once, but I never was very handsome ~~ 
204:163,28[K  ]| worse luck for$4$ me.  However I got a very good husband, 
204:163,29[K  ]| and I don't know what the greatest beauty can do more. 
204:163,30[K  ]| Ah! poor man! he has been dead these eight years 
204:163,31[K  ]| and better.  But $SS#H$Colonel, where have you been to$4$ since 
204:163,32[K  ]| we parted?  And how does your business go on$5$?  Come, 
204:163,33[K  ]| come, let's have no$2$ secrets among friends." 
204:163,34['  ]| He replied with his accustomary mildness to$4$ all her 
204:163,35['  ]| inquiries, but without satisfying her in$4$ any.  $SS#A$Elinor now 
204:163,36['  ]| began to$9$ make$1$ the tea, and $SS#C$Marianne was obliged to$9$ 
204:163,37['  ]| appear again. 
204:163,38['  ]| After$4$ her entrance, $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon became more 
204:164,01['  ]| thoughtful and silent than he had been before$5$, and 
204:164,02['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings could not prevail on$4$ him to$9$ stay$1$ long. 
204:164,03['  ]| No$2$ other visitor appeared that$6#2$ evening, and the ladies 
204:164,04['  ]| were unanimous in$4$ agreeing to$9$ go early to$4$ bed. 
204:164,05['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne rose$1$ the next morning with recovered spirits 
204:164,06['  ]| and happy looks$0$.  The disappointment of the evening 
204:164,07['  ]| before$5$ seemed forgotten in$4$ the expectation of what was 
204:164,08['  ]| to$9$ happen that$6#2$ day.  They had not long finished their 
204:164,09['  ]| breakfast$0$ before$3$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's barouche stopt at the 
204:164,10['  ]| door, and in$4$ few minutes she came laughing into 
204:164,11['  ]| the room; so$5#1$ delighted to$9$ see them all, that$3$ it was 
204:164,12['  ]| hard to$9$ say whether she received most pleasure from 
204:164,13['  ]| meeting her mother or the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods again.  So$5#1$ 
204:164,14['  ]| surprised at their coming to$4$ town, though it was what 
204:164,15['  ]| she had rather expected all along$5$; so$5#1$ angry at their 
204:164,16['  ]| accepting her mother's invitation after$4$ having declined 
204:164,17['  ]| her own$2$, though at the same time she would never have 
204:164,18['  ]| forgiven them if they had not come! 
204:164,19[O  ]| "$SS#N$Mr%*Palmer will$1$ be so$5#1$ happy to$9$ see you," 
204:164,19['  ]| said she; 
204:164,20[O  ]| "what do you think he said when he heard of your 
204:164,21[O  ]| coming with mama?  I forget what it was now, but it 
204:164,22[O  ]| was something so$5#1$ droll!" 
204:164,23['  ]| After$4$ an hour or two spent in$4$ what her mother 
204:164,24['  ]| called comfortable chat$0$, or in$4$ other words, in$4$ every 
204:164,25['  ]| variety of inquiry concerning all their acquaintance on$4$ 
204:164,26['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's side$0$, and in$4$ laughter without cause on$4$ 
204:164,27['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's, it was proposed by$4$ the latter that$3$ they 
204:164,28['  ]| should all accompany her to$4$ some shops where she had 
204:164,29['  ]| business that$6#2$ morning, to$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings and 
204:164,30['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor readily consented, as having likewise some purchases 
204:164,31['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ themselves; and $SS#C$Marianne, though 
204:164,32['  ]| declining it at first, was induced to$9$ go likewise. 
204:164,33['  ]| Wherever they went, she was evidently always on$4$ the 
204:164,34['  ]| watch$0$.  In$4$ Bond-street especially, where much of their 
204:164,35['  ]| business lay$1#2$, her eyes were in$4$ constant inquiry; and in$4$ 
204:164,36['  ]| whatever shop the party were engaged, her mind$0$ was 
204:164,37['  ]| equally abstracted from every*thing actually before$4$ 
204:164,38['  ]| them, from all that$6#1$ interested and occupied the others. 
204:165,01['  ]| Restless and dissatisfied every*where, her sister could 
204:165,02['  ]| never obtain her opinion of any article of purchase$0$, 
204:165,03['  ]| however it might equally concern$1$ them both; she 
204:165,04['  ]| received no$2$ pleasure from any*thing; was only impatient 
204:165,05['  ]| to$9$ be at home again, and could with difficulty govern 
204:165,06['  ]| her vexation at the tediousness of $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer, whose$6#1$ 
204:165,07['  ]| eye was caught by$4$ every*thing pretty$2$, expensive, or 
204:165,08['  ]| new; who$6#1$ was wild to$9$ buy all, could determine on$4$ none, 
204:165,09['  ]| and dawdled away her time in$4$ rapture and indecision. 
204:165,10['  ]| It was late in$4$ the morning before$3$ they returned home; 
204:165,11['  ]| and no$2$ sooner had they entered the house than $SS#C$Marianne 
204:165,12['  ]| flew eagerly up*stairs, and when $SS#A$Elinor followed, she 
204:165,13['  ]| found her turning from the table with a sorrowful 
204:165,14['  ]| countenance, which$6#1$ declared that$3$ no$2$ $SS#R$Willoughby had 
204:165,15['  ]| been there. 
204:165,16[C  ]| "Has no$2$ letter been left here for$4$ me since we went 
204:165,17[C  ]| out$5$?" 
204:165,17['  ]| said she to$4$ the footman who$6#1$ then entered with 
204:165,18['  ]| the parcels.  She was answered in$4$ the negative. 
204:165,18[C  ]| "Are 
204:165,19[C  ]| you quite sure of it?" 
204:165,19['  ]| she replied. 
204:165,19[C  ]| "Are you certain 
204:165,20[C  ]| that$3$ no$2$ servant, no$2$ porter has left any letter or note$0$?" 
204:165,21['  ]| The man replied that$3$ none had. 
204:165,22[C  ]| "How very odd!" 
204:165,22['  ]| said she in$4$ a low and disappointed 
204:165,23['  ]| voice, as she turned away to$4$ the window. 
204:165,24[A  ]| "How odd indeed!" 
204:165,24['  ]| repeated $SS#A$Elinor within herself, 
204:165,25['  ]| regarding her sister with uneasiness. 
204:165,25[A  ]| "If she had not 
204:165,26[A  ]| known him to$9$ be in$4$ town she would not have written 
204:165,27[A  ]| to$4$ him, as she did; she would have written to$4$ Combe*Magna; 
204:165,28[A  ]| and if he is in$4$ town, how odd that$3$ he should 
204:165,29[A  ]| neither come nor write!  Oh! my dear$2#1$ mother, you 
204:165,30[A  ]| must be wrong in$4$ permitting an engagement between 
204:165,31[A  ]| a daughter so$5#1$ young, a man so$5#1$ little known, to$9$ be carried 
204:165,32[A  ]| on$5$ in$4$ so$5#1$ doubtful, so$5#1$ mysterious a manner!  I long to$9$ 
204:165,33[A  ]| inquire; but how will$1$ \my\ interference be borne!" 
204:165,34['  ]| She determined after$4$ some consideration, that$3$ if 
204:165,35['  ]| appearances continued many days longer, as unpleasant 
204:165,36['  ]| as they now were, she would represent in$4$ the strongest 
204:165,37['  ]| manner to$4$ her mother the necessity of some serious$2$ 
204:165,38['  ]| inquiry into the affair. 
204:166,01['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer and two elderly ladies of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
204:166,02['  ]| intimate$2$ acquaintance, whom$6#1$ she had met and invited 
204:166,03['  ]| in$4$ the morning, dined with them.  The former left them 
204:166,04['  ]| soon after$4$ tea to$9$ fulfil her evening engagements; and 
204:166,05['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was obliged to$9$ assist in$4$ making a whist-table for$4$ 
204:166,06['  ]| the others.  $SS#C$Marianne was of no$2$ use$0$ on$4$ these occasions, 
204:166,07['  ]| as she would never learn the game, but though her time 
204:166,08['  ]| was therefore at her own$2$ disposal, the evening was by$4$ 
204:166,09['  ]| no$2$ means$0$ more productive of pleasure to$4$ her than to$4$ 
204:166,10['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, for$3$ it was spent in$4$ all the anxiety of expectation 
204:166,11['  ]| and the pain$0$ of disappointment.  She sometimes 
204:166,12['  ]| endeavoured for$4$ a few minutes to$9$ read; but the book 
204:166,13['  ]| was soon thrown aside, and she returned to$4$ the more 
204:166,14['  ]| interesting employment of walking backwards and forwards 
204:166,15['  ]| across$4$ the room, pausing for$4$ a moment whenever 
204:166,16['  ]| she came to$4$ the window, in$4$ hopes$0$ of distinguishing the 
204:166,17['  ]| long-expected rap. 
205:167,01[K  ]| "If this open$2$ weather holds much longer," 
205:167,01['  ]| said 
205:167,02['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, when they met at breakfast$0$ the following 
205:167,03['  ]| morning. 
205:167,03[K  ]| "$SS#L$Sir*John will$1$ not like$1$ leaving Barton next 
205:167,04[K  ]| week; 'tis a sad thing for$4$ sportsmen to$9$ lose a day's 
205:167,05[K  ]| pleasure.  Poor souls!  I always pity$1$ them when they 
205:167,06[K  ]| do; they seem to$9$ take it so$5#1$ much to$4$ heart." 
205:167,07[C  ]| "That$6#2$ is true," 
205:167,07['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ a cheerful voice, 
205:167,08['  ]| and walking to$4$ the window as she spoke, to$9$ examine 
205:167,09['  ]| the day. 
205:167,09[C  ]| "I had not thought$1$ of \that$6#2$\.  This weather 
205:167,10[C  ]| will$1$ keep many sportsmen in$4$ the country." 
205:167,11['  ]| It was a lucky recollection, all her good spirits were 
205:167,12['  ]| restored by$4$ it. 
205:167,12[C  ]| "It is charming weather for$4$ \them\ 
205:167,13[C  ]| indeed," 
205:167,13['  ]| she continued, as she sat down$5$ to$4$ the breakfast*table 
205:167,14['  ]| with a happy countenance. 
205:167,14[C  ]| "How much they 
205:167,15[C  ]| must enjoy it!  But" 
205:167,15['  ]| (with a little return$0$ of anxiety) 
205:167,16[C  ]| "it cannot be expected to$9$ last$1$ long.  At this time of 
205:167,17[C  ]| year, and after$4$ such a series of rain$0$, we shall certainly 
205:167,18[C  ]| have very little more of it.  Frosts will$1$ soon set$1$ in$5$, and 
205:167,19[C  ]| in$4$ all probability with severity.  In$4$ another day or two 
205:167,20[C  ]| perhaps; this extreme$2$ mildness can hardly last$1$ longer ~~ 
205:167,21[C  ]| nay, perhaps it may$1$ freeze to-night!" 
205:167,22[A  ]| "At any rate$0$," 
205:167,22['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, wishing to$9$ prevent 
205:167,23['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings from seeing her sister's thoughts as clearly 
205:167,24['  ]| as she did, 
205:167,24[A  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say we shall have $SS#L$Sir*John and 
205:167,25[A  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton in$4$ town by$4$ the end$0$ of next week." 
205:167,26[K  ]| "Aye, my dear$2#1$, I'll warrant you we do.  $SS#M$Mary always 
205:167,27[K  ]| has her own$2$ way." 
205:167,28@a   | "And now," 
205:167,28['  ]| silently conjectured $SS#A$Elinor, 
205:167,28@a   | "she will$1$ 
205:167,29@a   | write to$4$ Combe by$4$ this day's post." 
205:167,30['  ]| But if she \did\, the letter was written and sent away 
205:167,31['  ]| with a privacy which$6#1$ eluded all her watchfulness to$9$ 
205:167,32['  ]| ascertain the fact.  Whatever the truth of it might be, 
205:167,33['  ]| and far as $SS#A$Elinor was from feeling thorough contentment 
205:168,01['  ]| about$4$ it, yet while$3$ she saw $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ spirits, she could 
205:168,02['  ]| not be very uncomfortable herself.  And $SS#C$Marianne was 
205:168,03['  ]| in$4$ spirits; happy in$4$ the mildness of the weather, and 
205:168,04['  ]| still$5$ happier in$4$ her expectation of a frost. 
205:168,05['  ]| The morning was chiefly spent in$4$ leaving cards at the 
205:168,06['  ]| houses of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's acquaintance to$9$ inform them 
205:168,07['  ]| of her being$1$ in$4$ town; and $SS#C$Marianne was all the time 
205:168,08['  ]| busy in$4$ observing the direction of the wind, watching 
205:168,09['  ]| the variations of the sky and imagining an alteration in$4$ 
205:168,10['  ]| the air. 
205:168,11[C  ]| "Don't you find it colder than it was in$4$ the morning, 
205:168,12[C  ]| $SS#A$Elinor?  There seems to$4$ me a very decided difference. 
205:168,13[C  ]| I can hardly keep my hands warm$2$ even$5$ in$4$ my muff. 
205:168,14[C  ]| It was not so$5#2$ yesterday, I think.  The clouds seem 
205:168,15[C  ]| parting too$5#2$, the sun will$1$ be out$5$ in$4$ a moment; and we 
205:168,16[C  ]| shall have a clear$2$ afternoon." 
205:168,17['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was alternately diverted and pained; but 
205:168,18['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne persevered, and saw every night in$4$ the brightness 
205:168,19['  ]| of the fire$0$, and every morning in$4$ the appearance 
205:168,20['  ]| of the atmosphere, the certain symptoms of approaching 
205:168,21['  ]| frost. 
205:168,22['  ]| The $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods had no$2$ greater reason$0$ to$9$ be 
205:168,23['  ]| dissatisfied with $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's style of living, and set$0$ 
205:168,24['  ]| of acquaintance, than with her behaviour to$4$ themselves, 
205:168,25['  ]| which$6#1$ was invariably kind$2$.  Every*thing in$4$ her household 
205:168,26['  ]| arrangements was conducted on$4$ the most liberal 
205:168,27['  ]| plan, and excepting a few old city friends, whom$6#1$, to$4$ 
205:168,28['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's regret$0$, she had never dropped, she 
205:168,29['  ]| visited no*one, to$4$ whom$6#1$ an introduction could at all 
205:168,30['  ]| discompose the feelings of her young companions. 
205:168,31['  ]| Pleased to$9$ find herself more comfortably situated in$4$ 
205:168,32['  ]| that$6#2$ particular than she had expected, $SS#A$Elinor was very 
205:168,33['  ]| willing to$9$ compound for$4$ the want$0$ of much real enjoyment 
205:168,34['  ]| from any of their evening parties, which$6#1$, whether 
205:168,35['  ]| at home or abroad, formed only for$4$ cards, could have 
205:168,36['  ]| little to$9$ amuse her. 
205:168,37['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, who$6#1$ had a general$2$ invitation to$4$ the 
205:168,38['  ]| house, was with them almost every day; he came to$9$ 
205:169,01['  ]| look$1$ at $SS#C$Marianne and talk$1$ to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ often derived 
205:169,02['  ]| more satisfaction from conversing with him than from 
205:169,03['  ]| any other daily occurrence, but who$6#1$ saw at the same 
205:169,04['  ]| time with much concern$0$ his continued regard$0$ for$4$ her 
205:169,05['  ]| sister.  She feared it was a strengthening regard$0$.  It 
205:169,06['  ]| grieved her to$9$ see the earnestness with which$6#1$ he often 
205:169,07['  ]| watched $SS#C$Marianne, and his spirits were certainly worse 
205:169,08['  ]| than when at Barton. 
205:169,09['  ]| About$4$ a week after$4$ their arrival it became certain 
205:169,10['  ]| that$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby was also arrived.  His card was on$4$ the 
205:169,11['  ]| table, when they came in$5$ from the morning's drive$0$. 
205:169,12[C  ]| "Good God!" 
205:169,12['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
205:169,12[C  ]| "he has been here 
205:169,13[C  ]| while$3$ we were out$5$." 
205:169,13['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, rejoiced to$9$ be assured of 
205:169,14['  ]| his being$1$ in$4$ London, now ventured to$9$ say, 
205:169,14[A  ]| "depend 
205:169,15[A  ]| upon$4$ it he will$1$ call$1$ again to-morrow." 
205:169,15['  ]| But $SS#C$Marianne 
205:169,16['  ]| seemed hardly to$9$ hear her, and on$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
205:169,17['  ]| entrance, escaped with the precious card. 
205:169,18['  ]| This event, while$3$ it raised the spirits of $SS#A$Elinor, restored 
205:169,19['  ]| to$4$ those of her sister, all, and more than all, their former 
205:169,20['  ]| agitation.  From this moment her mind$0$ was never quiet$2$; 
205:169,21['  ]| the expectation of seeing him every hour of the day, 
205:169,22['  ]| made her unfit for$4$ anything.  She insisted on$4$ being$1$ left 
205:169,23['  ]| behind, the next morning, when the others went out$5$. 
205:169,24['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's thoughts were full of what might be passing 
205:169,25['  ]| in$4$ Berkeley-street during their absence; but a moment's 
205:169,26['  ]| glance$0$ at her sister when they returned was enough to$9$ 
205:169,27['  ]| inform her, that$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby had paid no$2$ second$2$ visit$0$ 
205:169,28['  ]| there.  A note$0$ was just$5$ then brought in$5$, and laid on$4$ 
205:169,29['  ]| the table. 
205:169,30[C  ]| "For$4$ me?" 
205:169,30['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, stepping hastily forward$5$. 
205:169,31[W  ]| "No$7$, ma'am, for$4$ my mistress." 
205:169,32['  ]| But $SS#C$Marianne, not convinced, took it instantly up$5$. 
205:169,33[C  ]| "It is indeed for$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings; how provoking!" 
205:169,34[A  ]| "You are expecting a letter then?" 
205:169,34['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
205:169,35['  ]| unable to$9$ be longer silent. 
205:169,36[C  ]| "Yes, a little ~~ not much." 
205:169,37['  ]| After$4$ a short pause$0$, 
205:169,37[A  ]| "you have no$2$ confidence in$4$ me, 
205:169,38[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne." 
205:170,01[C  ]| "Nay, $SS#A$Elinor, this reproach$0$ from \you\ ~~ you who$6#1$ have 
205:170,02[C  ]| confidence in$4$ no*one!" 
205:170,03[A  ]| "Me!" 
205:170,03['  ]| returned $SS#A$Elinor in$4$ some confusion; 
205:170,03[A  ]| "indeed, 
205:170,04[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, I have nothing to$9$ tell." 
205:170,05[C  ]| "Nor I," 
205:170,05['  ]| answered $SS#C$Marianne with energy, 
205:170,05[C  ]| "our situations 
205:170,06[C  ]| then are alike.  We have neither of us any*thing 
205:170,07[C  ]| to$9$ tell; you, because you communicate, and I, because 
205:170,08[C  ]| I conceal nothing." 
205:170,09['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, distressed by$4$ this charge$0$ of reserve$0$ in$4$ herself, 
205:170,10['  ]| which$6#1$ she was not at liberty to$9$ do away, knew not how, 
205:170,11['  ]| under such circumstances, to$9$ press$1$ for$4$ greater openness 
205:170,12['  ]| in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne. 
205:170,13['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings soon appeared, and the note$0$ being$1$ given 
205:170,14['  ]| her, she read it aloud.  It was from $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
205:170,15['  ]| announcing their arrival in$4$ Conduit-street the night 
205:170,16['  ]| before$5$, and requesting the company of her mother and 
205:170,17['  ]| cousins the following evening.  Business on$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John's 
205:170,18['  ]| part$0$, and a violent cold$0$ on$4$ her own$2$, prevented their 
205:170,19['  ]| calling in$4$ Berkeley-street.  The invitation was accepted: 
205:170,20['  ]| but when the hour of appointment drew near$5$, necessary 
205:170,21['  ]| as it was in$4$ common$2$ civility to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, that$3$ they 
205:170,22['  ]| should both attend her on$4$ such a visit$0$, $SS#A$Elinor had 
205:170,23['  ]| some difficulty in$4$ persuading her sister to$9$ go, for$3$ still$5$ 
205:170,24['  ]| she had seen nothing of $SS#R$Willoughby; and therefore 
205:170,25['  ]| was not more indisposed for$4$ amusement abroad, than 
205:170,26['  ]| unwilling to$9$ run$1$ the risk$0$ of his calling again in$4$ her 
205:170,27['  ]| absence. 
205:170,28['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor found, when the evening was over, that$3$ disposition 
205:170,29['  ]| is not materially altered by$4$ a change$0$ of abode, 
205:170,30['  ]| for$3$ although scarcely settled in$4$ town, $SS#L$Sir*John had contrived 
205:170,31['  ]| to$9$ collect around$4$ him, nearly twenty young people, 
205:170,32['  ]| and to$9$ amuse them with a ball$0#2$.  This was an affair, 
205:170,33['  ]| however, of which$6#1$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton did not approve.  In$4$ 
205:170,34['  ]| the country, an unpremeditated dance$0$ was very allowable; 
205:170,35['  ]| but in$4$ London, where the reputation of elegance 
205:170,36['  ]| was more important and less easily attained, it was 
205:170,37['  ]| risking too$5#1$ much for$4$ the gratification of a few girls, to$9$ 
205:170,38['  ]| have it known that$3$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton had given a small 
205:171,01['  ]| dance$0$ of eight or nine couple, with two violins, and 
205:171,02['  ]| a mere side-board collation. 
205:171,03['  ]| $SS#N$Mr% and $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer were of the party; from the 
205:171,04['  ]| former, whom$6#1$ they had not seen before$5$ since their 
205:171,05['  ]| arrival in$4$ town, as he was careful to$9$ avoid the appearance 
205:171,06['  ]| of any attention to$4$ his mother-in-law, and therefore 
205:171,07['  ]| never came near$4$ her, they received no$2$ mark$0$ of recognition 
205:171,08['  ]| on$4$ their entrance.  He looked at them slightly, 
205:171,09['  ]| without seeming to$9$ know who$6#1$ they were, and merely 
205:171,10['  ]| nodded to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings from the other side$0$ of the 
205:171,11['  ]| room.  $SS#C$Marianne gave one glance$0$ round$4$ the apartment 
205:171,12['  ]| as she entered; it was enough, \he\ was not there ~~ and 
205:171,13['  ]| she sat down$5$, equally ill-disposed to$9$ receive or communicate 
205:171,14['  ]| pleasure.  After$3$ they had been assembled 
205:171,15['  ]| about$4$ an hour, $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer sauntered towards the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods 
205:171,16['  ]| to$9$ express$1$ his surprise$0$ on$4$ seeing them in$4$ 
205:171,17['  ]| town, though $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon had been first informed 
205:171,18['  ]| of their arrival at his house, and he had himself said 
205:171,19['  ]| something very droll on$4$ hearing that$3$ they were to$9$ come. 
205:171,20[N  ]| "I thought$1$ you were both in$4$ Devonshire," 
205:171,20['  ]| said he. 
205:171,21[A  ]| "Did you?" 
205:171,21['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor. 
205:171,22[N  ]| "When do you go back$5$ again?" 
205:171,23[A  ]| "I do not know." 
205:171,23['  ]| And thus ended their discourse. 
205:171,24['  ]| Never had $SS#C$Marianne been so$5#1$ unwilling to$9$ dance$1$ in$4$ 
205:171,25['  ]| her life, as she was that$6#2$ evening, and never so$5#1$ much 
205:171,26['  ]| fatigued by$4$ the exercise$0$.  She complained of it as they 
205:171,27['  ]| returned to$4$ Berkeley-street. 
205:171,28[K  ]| "Aye, aye," 
205:171,28['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
205:171,28[K  ]| "we know the reason$0$ 
205:171,29[K  ]| of all that$6#2$ very well$5$; if a certain person who$6#1$ shall be 
205:171,30[K  ]| nameless, had been there, you would not have been 
205:171,31[K  ]| a bit tired:  and to$9$ say the truth it was not very pretty$2$ 
205:171,32[K  ]| of him not to$9$ give you the meeting when he was invited." 
205:171,33[C  ]| "Invited!" 
205:171,33['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne. 
205:171,34[K  ]| "So$5#2$ my daughter $SS#M$Middleton told me, for$3$ it seems 
205:171,35[K  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John met him somewhere in$4$ the street this morning." 
205:171,36['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne said no$2$ more, but looked exceedingly hurt. 
205:171,37['  ]| Impatient in$4$ this situation to$9$ be doing something that$6#1$ 
205:171,38['  ]| might lead$1$ to$4$ her sister's relief, $SS#A$Elinor resolved to$9$ write 
205:172,01['  ]| the next morning to$4$ her mother, and hoped by$4$ awakening 
205:172,02['  ]| her fears for$4$ the health of $SS#C$Marianne, to$9$ procure those 
205:172,03['  ]| inquiries which$6#1$ had been so$5#1$ long delayed; and she was 
205:172,04['  ]| still$5$ more eagerly bent on$4$ this measure$0$ by$4$ perceiving 
205:172,05['  ]| after$4$ breakfast$0$ on$4$ the morrow, that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was again 
205:172,06['  ]| writing to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, for$3$ she could not suppose it to$9$ 
205:172,07['  ]| be to$4$ any other person. 
205:172,08['  ]| About$4$ the middle of the day, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings went out$5$ 
205:172,09['  ]| by$4$ herself on$4$ business, and $SS#A$Elinor began her letter 
205:172,10['  ]| directly, while$3$ $SS#C$Marianne, too$5#1$ restless for$4$ employment, 
205:172,11['  ]| too$5#1$ anxious for$4$ conversation, walked from one window 
205:172,12['  ]| to$4$ the other, or sat down$5$ by$4$ the fire$0$ in$4$ melancholy$2$ 
205:172,13['  ]| meditation.  $SS#A$Elinor was very earnest in$4$ her application 
205:172,14['  ]| to$4$ her mother, relating all that$6#1$ had passed, her suspicions 
205:172,15['  ]| of $SS#R$Willoughby's inconstancy, urging her by$4$ every plea 
205:172,16['  ]| of duty and affection to$9$ demand$1$ from $SS#C$Marianne, an 
205:172,17['  ]| account$0$ of her real situation with respect$0$ to$4$ him. 
205:172,18['  ]| Her letter was scarcely finished, when a rap foretold 
205:172,19['  ]| a visitor, and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon was announced.  $SS#C$Marianne, 
205:172,20['  ]| who$6#1$ had seen him from the window, and who$6#1$ 
205:172,21['  ]| hated company of any kind$0$, left the room before$3$ he 
205:172,22['  ]| entered it.  He looked more than usually grave$2$, and 
205:172,23['  ]| though expressing satisfaction at finding $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood 
205:172,24['  ]| alone, as if he had somewhat in$4$ particular to$9$ tell her, 
205:172,25['  ]| sat for$4$ some time without saying a word.  $SS#A$Elinor, persuaded 
205:172,26['  ]| that$3$ he had some communication to$9$ make$1$ in$4$ 
205:172,27['  ]| which$6#1$ her sister was concerned, impatiently expected its 
205:172,28['  ]| opening.  It was not the first time of her feeling the 
205:172,29['  ]| same kind$0$ of conviction; for$3$ more than once before$5$, 
205:172,30['  ]| beginning with the observation of 
205:172,30[H  ]| "your sister looks$1$ 
205:172,31[H  ]| unwell to-day," 
205:172,31['  ]| or 
205:172,31[H  ]| "your sister seems out$5$ of spirits," 
205:172,32['  ]| he had appeared on$4$ the point$0$, either of disclosing, or 
205:172,33['  ]| of inquiring, something particular about$4$ her.  After$4$ 
205:172,34['  ]| a pause$0$ of several minutes, their silence$0$ was broken, by$4$ 
205:172,35['  ]| his asking her in$4$ a voice of some agitation, 
205:172,35@h   | when he was 
205:172,36@h   | to$9$ congratulate her on$4$ the acquisition of a brother? 
205:172,37['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was not prepared for$4$ such a question$0$, and having 
205:172,38['  ]| no$2$ answer$0$ ready, was obliged to$9$ adopt the simple$2$ and 
205:173,01['  ]| common$2$ expedient$0$, of asking what he meant?  He tried 
205:173,02['  ]| to$9$ smile$1$ as he replied, 
205:173,02[H  ]| "your sister's engagement to$4$ 
205:173,03[H  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby is very generally known." 
205:173,04[A  ]| "It cannot be generally known," 
205:173,04['  ]| returned $SS#A$Elinor, 
205:173,05[A  ]| "for$3$ her own$2$ family do not know it." 
205:173,06['  ]| He looked surprised and said, 
205:173,06[H  ]| "I beg your pardon$0$, 
205:173,07[H  ]| I am afraid my inquiry has been impertinent; but I had 
205:173,08[H  ]| not supposed any secrecy intended, as they openly correspond, 
205:173,09[H  ]| and their marriage is universally talked of." 
205:173,10[A  ]| "How can that$6#2$ be?  By$4$ whom$6#2$ can you have heard 
205:173,11[A  ]| it mentioned?" 
205:173,12[H  ]| "By$4$ many ~~ by$4$ some of whom$6#1$ you know nothing, by$4$ 
205:173,13[H  ]| others with whom$6#1$ you are most intimate$2$, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
205:173,14[H  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer, and the $SS#L1$Middletons.  But still$5$ I might not 
205:173,15[H  ]| have believed it, for$3$ where the mind$0$ is perhaps rather 
205:173,16[H  ]| unwilling to$9$ be convinced, it will$1$ always find something 
205:173,17[H  ]| to$9$ support$1$ its doubts$0$, if I had not, when the servant 
205:173,18[H  ]| let me in$5$ to-day, accidentally seen a letter in$4$ his hand$0$, 
205:173,19[H  ]| directed to$4$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby in$4$ your sister's writing. 
205:173,20[H  ]| I came to$9$ inquire, but I was convinced before$3$ I could 
205:173,21[H  ]| ask the question$0$.  Is every*thing finally settled?  Is it 
205:173,22[H  ]| impossible to$9$ ~~?  But I have no$2$ right$0$, and I could 
205:173,23[H  ]| have no$2$ chance$0$ of succeeding.  Excuse$1$ me, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood. 
205:173,24[H  ]| I believe I have been wrong in$4$ saying so$5#1$ much, 
205:173,25[H  ]| but I hardly know what to$9$ do, and on$4$ your prudence 
205:173,26[H  ]| I have the strongest dependence.  Tell me that$3$ it is all 
205:173,27[H  ]| absolutely resolved on$5$, that$3$ any attempt$0$, that$3$ in$4$ short 
205:173,28[H  ]| concealment, if concealment be possible, is all that$6#1$ 
205:173,29[H  ]| remains$1$." 
205:173,30['  ]| These words, which$6#1$ conveyed to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor a direct$2$ avowal 
205:173,31['  ]| of his love$0$ for$4$ her sister, affected her very much.  She 
205:173,32['  ]| was not immediately able to$9$ say anything, and even$5$ 
205:173,33['  ]| when her spirits were recovered, she debated for$4$ a short 
205:173,34['  ]| time, on$4$ the answer$0$ it would be most proper to$9$ give. 
205:173,35['  ]| The real state$0$ of things between $SS#R$Willoughby and her 
205:173,36['  ]| sister was so$5#1$ little known to$4$ herself, that$3$ in$4$ endeavouring 
205:173,37['  ]| to$9$ explain it, she might be as liable to$9$ say too$5#1$ much as 
205:173,38['  ]| too$5#1$ little.  Yet as she was convinced that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne's 
205:174,01['  ]| affection for$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, could leave$1$ no$2$ hope$0$ of 
$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's 
205:174,02['  ]| success, whatever the event of that$6#2$ affection 
205:174,03['  ]| might be, and at the same time wished to$9$ shield her 
205:174,04['  ]| conduct$0$ from censure$0$, she thought$1$ it most prudent and 
205:174,05['  ]| kind$2$, after$4$ some consideration, to$9$ say more than she 
205:174,06['  ]| really knew or believed.  She acknowledged, therefore, 
205:174,07['  ]| that$3$ 
205:174,07@a   | though she had never been informed by$4$ themselves 
205:174,08@a   | of the terms on$4$ which$6#1$ they stood with each other, of 
205:174,09@a   | their mutual affection she had no$2$ doubt$0$, and of their 
205:174,10@a   | correspondence she was not astonished to$9$ hear. 
205:174,11['  ]| He listened to$4$ her with silent attention, and on$4$ her 
205:174,12['  ]| ceasing to$9$ speak, rose$1$ directly from his seat, and after$4$ 
205:174,13['  ]| saying in$4$ a voice of emotion, 
205:174,13[H  ]| "to$4$ your sister I wish$1$ all 
205:174,14[H  ]| imaginable happiness; to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby that$3$ he may$1$ 
205:174,15[H  ]| endeavour$1$ to$9$ deserve her," ~~ 
205:174,15['  ]| took leave$0$, and went away. 
205:174,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor derived no$2$ comfortable feelings from this conversation, 
205:174,17['  ]| to$9$ lessen the uneasiness of her mind$0$ on$4$ other 
205:174,18['  ]| points; she was left, on$4$ the contrary, with a melancholy$2$ 
205:174,19['  ]| impression of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's unhappiness, and was 
205:174,20['  ]| prevented even$5$ from wishing it removed, by$4$ her anxiety 
205:174,21['  ]| for$4$ the very event that$6#1$ must confirm it. 
206:175,01['  ]| Nothing occurred during the next three or four days, 
206:175,02['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ $SS#A$Elinor regret$1$ what she had done, in$4$ applying 
206:175,03['  ]| to$4$ her mother; for$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby neither came nor wrote. 
206:175,04['  ]| The were engaged about$4$ the end$0$ of that$6#2$ time to$9$ attend 
206:175,05['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton to$4$ a party, from which$6#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
206:175,06['  ]| was kept away by$4$ the indisposition of her youngest 
206:175,07['  ]| daughter; and for$4$ this party, $SS#C$Marianne, wholly 
206:175,08['  ]| dispirited, careless of her appearance, and seeming 
206:175,09['  ]| equally indifferent whether she went or staid, prepared, 
206:175,10['  ]| without one look$0$ of hope$0$, or one expression of pleasure. 
206:175,11['  ]| She sat by$4$ the drawing*room fire$0$ after$4$ tea, till the 
206:175,12['  ]| moment of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's arrival, without once 
206:175,13['  ]| stirring from her seat, or altering her attitude, lost in$4$ 
206:175,14['  ]| her own$2$ thoughts and insensible of her sister's presence; 
206:175,15['  ]| and when at last$0$ they were told that$3$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
206:175,16['  ]| waited for$4$ them at the door, she started as if she had 
206:175,17['  ]| forgotten that$3$ any*one was expected. 
206:175,18['  ]| They arrived in$4$ due$2$ time at the place$0$ of destination, 
206:175,19['  ]| and as soon as the string of carriages before$4$ them would 
206:175,20['  ]| allow, alighted, ascended the stairs, heard their names 
206:175,21['  ]| announced from one landing-place to$4$ another in$4$ an 
206:175,22['  ]| audible voice, and entered a room splendidly lit up$5$, 
206:175,23['  ]| quite full of company, and insufferably hot.  When they 
206:175,24['  ]| had paid their tribute of politeness by$4$ curtesying to$4$ the 
206:175,25['  ]| lady of the house, they were permitted to$9$ mingle in$4$ 
206:175,26['  ]| the croud, and take their share$0$ of the heat$0$ and inconvenience, 
206:175,27['  ]| to$4$ which$6#1$ their arrival must necessarily add. 
206:175,28['  ]| After$4$ some time spent in$4$ saying little and doing less, 
206:175,29['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton sat down$5$ to$4$ Casino, and as $SS#C$Marianne 
206:175,30['  ]| was not in$4$ spirits for$4$ moving about$5$, she and $SS#A$Elinor 
206:175,31['  ]| luckily succeeding to$4$ chairs, placed themselves at no$2$ 
206:175,32['  ]| great distance$0$ from the table. 
206:175,33['  ]| They had not remained in$4$ this manner long, before$3$ 
206:176,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor perceived $SS#R$Willoughby, standing within a few 
206:176,02['  ]| yards of them, in$4$ earnest conversation with a very 
206:176,03['  ]| fashionable looking young woman.  She soon caught his 
206:176,04['  ]| eye, and he immediately bowed, but without attempting 
206:176,05['  ]| to$9$ speak to$4$ her, or to$9$ approach$1$ $SS#C$Marianne, though he 
206:176,06['  ]| could not but see her; and then continued his discourse 
206:176,07['  ]| with the same lady.  $SS#A$Elinor turned involuntarily to$4$ 
206:176,08['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, to$9$ see whether it could be unobserved by$4$ her. 
206:176,09['  ]| At that$6#2$ moment she first perceived him, and her whole$2$ 
206:176,10['  ]| countenance glowing with sudden$2$ delight$0$, she would 
206:176,11['  ]| have moved towards him instantly, had not her sister 
206:176,12['  ]| caught hold$0$ of her. 
206:176,13[C  ]| "Good heavens!" 
206:176,13['  ]| she exclaimed, 
206:176,13[C  ]| "he is there ~~ he 
206:176,14[C  ]| is there ~~ Oh! why does he not look$1$ at me?  why cannot 
206:176,15[C  ]| I speak to$4$ him?" 
206:176,16[A  ]| "Pray, pray be composed," 
206:176,16['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor, 
206:176,16[A  ]| "and do 
206:176,17[A  ]| not betray what you feel to$4$ every*body present$5$.  Perhaps 
206:176,18[A  ]| he has not observed you yet." 
206:176,19['  ]| This however was more than she could believe herself; 
206:176,20['  ]| and to$9$ be composed at such a moment was not only 
206:176,21['  ]| beyond$4$ the reach$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne, it was beyond$4$ her wish$0$. 
206:176,22['  ]| She sat in$4$ an agony of impatience, which$6#1$ affected every 
206:176,23['  ]| feature. 
206:176,24['  ]| At last$0$ he turned round$5$ again, and regarded them 
206:176,25['  ]| both; she started up$5$, and pronouncing his name$0$ in$4$ 
206:176,26['  ]| a tone of affection, held out$5$ her hand$0$ to$4$ him.  He 
206:176,27['  ]| approached, and addressing himself rather to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor 
206:176,28['  ]| than $SS#C$Marianne, as if wishing to$9$ avoid her eye, and 
206:176,29['  ]| determined not to$9$ observe her attitude, inquired in$4$ 
206:176,30['  ]| a hurried manner after$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, and asked how 
206:176,31['  ]| long they had been in$4$ town.  $SS#A$Elinor was robbed of all 
206:176,32['  ]| presence of mind$0$ by$4$ such an address$0$, and was unable 
206:176,33['  ]| to$9$ say a word.  But the feelings of her sister were 
206:176,34['  ]| instantly expressed.  Her face$0$ was crimsoned over, and 
206:176,35['  ]| she exclaimed in$4$ a voice of the greatest emotion, 
206:176,35[C  ]| "Good 
206:176,36[C  ]| God!  $SS#R$Willoughby, what is the meaning of this?  Have 
206:176,37[C  ]| you not received my letters?  Will$1$ you not shake$1$ hands 
206:176,38[C  ]| with me?" 
206:177,01['  ]| He could not then avoid it, but her touch$0$ seemed 
206:177,02['  ]| painful to$4$ him, and he held her hand$0$ only for$4$ a moment. 
206:177,03['  ]| During all this time he was evidently struggling for$4$ 
206:177,04['  ]| composure.  $SS#A$Elinor watched his countenance and saw 
206:177,05['  ]| its expression becoming more tranquil.  After$4$ a moment's 
206:177,06['  ]| pause$0$, he spoke with calmness. 
206:177,07[R  ]| "I did myself the honour$0$ of calling in$4$ Berkeley-street 
206:177,08[R  ]| last$2$ Tuesday, and very much regretted that$3$ I was not 
206:177,09[R  ]| fortunate enough to$9$ find yourselves and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
206:177,10[R  ]| at home.  My card was not lost, I hope$1$." 
206:177,11[C  ]| "But have you not received my notes?" 
206:177,11['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne 
206:177,12['  ]| in$4$ the wildest anxiety. 
206:177,12[C  ]| "Here is some mistake$0$ 
206:177,13[C  ]| I am sure ~~ some dreadful mistake$0$.  What can be the 
206:177,14[C  ]| meaning of it?  Tell me, $SS#R$Willoughby; for$4$ heaven's sake 
206:177,15[C  ]| tell me, what is the matter?" 
206:177,16['  ]| He made no$2$ reply$0$; his complexion changed and all 
206:177,17['  ]| his embarrassment returned; but as if, on$4$ catching the 
206:177,18['  ]| eye of the young lady with whom$6#1$ he had been previously 
206:177,19['  ]| talking, he felt the necessity of instant$2$ exertion, he 
206:177,20['  ]| recovered himself again, and after$4$ saying, 
206:177,20[R  ]| "Yes, I had 
206:177,21[R  ]| the pleasure of receiving the information of your arrival 
206:177,22[R  ]| in$4$ town, which$6#1$ you were so$5#1$ good as to$9$ send me," 
206:177,22['  ]| turned 
206:177,23['  ]| hastily away with a slight$2$ bow$0#1$ and joined his friend. 
206:177,24['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, now looking dreadfully white, and unable 
206:177,25['  ]| to$9$ stand$1$, sunk into her chair, and $SS#A$Elinor, expecting 
206:177,26['  ]| every moment to$9$ see her faint$1$, tried to$9$ screen her from 
206:177,27['  ]| the observation of others, while$3$ reviving her with 
206:177,28['  ]| lavendar water. 
206:177,29[C  ]| "Go to$4$ him, $SS#A$Elinor," 
206:177,29['  ]| she cried, as soon as she could 
206:177,30['  ]| speak, 
206:177,30[C  ]| "and force$1$ him to$9$ come to$4$ me.  Tell him I must 
206:177,31[C  ]| see him again ~~ must speak to$4$ him instantly. ~~ I cannot 
206:177,32[C  ]| rest$1$ ~~ I shall not have a moment's peace till this is 
206:177,33[C  ]| explained ~~ some dreadful misapprehension or other. ~~ 
206:177,34[C  ]| Oh go to$4$ him this moment." 
206:177,35[A  ]| "How can that$6#2$ be done?  No$7$, my dearest $SS#C$Marianne, 
206:177,36[A  ]| you must wait.  This is not a place$0$ for$4$ explanations. 
206:177,37[A  ]| Wait only till to-morrow." 
206:177,38['  ]| With difficulty however could she prevent her from 
206:178,01['  ]| following him herself; and to$9$ persuade her to$9$ check$1$ her 
206:178,02['  ]| agitation, to$9$ wait, at least, with the appearance of composure, 
206:178,03['  ]| till she might speak to$4$ him with more privacy 
206:178,04['  ]| and more effect$0$, was impossible; for$3$ $SS#C$Marianne continued 
206:178,05['  ]| incessantly to$9$ give way in$4$ a low voice to$4$ the misery of 
206:178,06['  ]| her feelings, by$4$ exclamations of wretchedness.  In$4$ a short 
206:178,07['  ]| time $SS#A$Elinor saw $SS#R$Willoughby quit the room by$4$ the door 
206:178,08['  ]| towards the staircase, and telling $SS#C$Marianne that$3$ he was 
206:178,09['  ]| gone, urged the impossibility of speaking to$4$ him again 
206:178,10['  ]| that$6#2$ evening, as a fresh argument for$4$ her to$9$ be calm$2$. 
206:178,11['  ]| She instantly begged her sister would entreat $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
206:178,12['  ]| to$9$ take them home, as she was too$5#1$ miserable 
206:178,13['  ]| to$9$ stay$1$ a minute$0$ longer. 
206:178,14['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, though in$4$ the middle of a rubber, 
206:178,15['  ]| on$4$ being$1$ informed that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was unwell, was too$5#1$ 
206:178,16['  ]| polite to$9$ object$1$ for$4$ a moment to$4$ her wish$0$ of going away, 
206:178,17['  ]| and making over her cards to$4$ a friend, they departed as 
206:178,18['  ]| soon as the carriage could be found.  Scarcely a word was 
206:178,19['  ]| spoken during their return$0$ to$4$ Berkeley-street.  $SS#C$Marianne 
206:178,20['  ]| was in$4$ a silent agony, too$5#1$ much oppressed even$5$ for$4$ tears; 
206:178,21['  ]| but as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was luckily not come home, they 
206:178,22['  ]| could go directly to$4$ their own$2$ room, where hartshorn 
206:178,23['  ]| restored her a little to$4$ herself.  She was soon undressed 
206:178,24['  ]| and in$4$ bed, and as she seemed desirous of being$1$ alone, 
206:178,25['  ]| her sister then left her, and while$3$ she waited the return$0$ 
206:178,26['  ]| of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, had leisure enough for$4$ thinking over 
206:178,27['  ]| the past$0$. 
206:178,28@a   | That$3$ some kind$0$ of engagement had subsisted between 
206:178,29@a   | $SS#R$Willoughby and $SS#C$Marianne she could not doubt$1$; and 
206:178,30@a   | that$3$ $SS#R$Willoughby was weary of it, seemed equally clear$2$; 
206:178,31@a   | for$3$ however $SS#C$Marianne might still$5$ feed her own$2$ wishes$0$, 
206:178,32@a   | \she\ could not attribute such behaviour to$4$ mistake$0$ or 
206:178,33@a   | misapprehension of any kind$0$.  Nothing but a thorough 
206:178,34@a   | change$0$ of sentiment could account$1$ for$4$ it.  
206:178,34['  ]| Her indignation 
206:178,35['  ]| would have been still$5$ stronger than it was, had she 
206:178,36['  ]| not witnessed that$6#2$ embarrassment which$6#1$ seemed to$9$ 
206:178,37['  ]| speak a consciousness of his own$2$ misconduct, and prevented 
206:178,38['  ]| her from believing him so$5#1$ unprincipled as to$9$ 
206:179,01['  ]| have been sporting with the affections of her sister from 
206:179,02['  ]| the first, without any design$0$ that$6#1$ would bear$1$ investigation. 
206:179,03@a   | Absence might have weakened his regard$0$, and 
206:179,04@a   | convenience might have determined him to$9$ overcome it, 
206:179,05@a   | but that$3$ such a regard$0$ had formerly existed she could 
206:179,05@a   | not bring herself to$9$ doubt$1$. 
206:179,06@a   | As for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, on$4$ the pangs which$6#1$ so$5#1$ unhappy 
206:179,07@a   | a meeting must already have given her, and on$4$ those 
206:179,08@a   | still$5$ more severe which$6#1$ might await her in$4$ its probable 
206:179,09@a   | consequence, she could not reflect without the deepest 
206:179,10@a   | concern$0$.  Her own$2$ situation gained in$4$ the comparison; 
206:179,11@a   | for$3$ while$3$ she could \esteem$1$\ $SS#B$Edward as much as ever, 
206:179,12@a   | however they might be divided in$4$ future, her mind$0$ 
206:179,13@a   | might be always supported.  But every circumstance 
206:179,14@a   | that$6#1$ could embitter such an evil seemed uniting to$9$ 
206:179,15@a   | heighten the misery of $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ a final separation 
206:179,16@a   | from $SS#R$Willoughby ~~ in$4$ an immediate and irreconcileable 
206:179,17@a   | rupture with him. 
207:180,01['  ]| Before$3$ the house-maid had lit their fire$0$ the next day, 
207:180,02['  ]| or the sun gained any power over a cold$2$, gloomy morning 
207:180,03['  ]| in$4$ January, $SS#C$Marianne, only half*dressed, was kneeling 
207:180,04['  ]| against one of the window-seats for$4$ the sake of all the 
207:180,05['  ]| little light$0$ she could command$1$ from it, and writing as 
207:180,06['  ]| fast as a continual flow$0$ of tears would permit her.  In$4$ 
207:180,07['  ]| this situation, $SS#A$Elinor, roused from sleep$0$ by$4$ her agitation 
207:180,08['  ]| and sobs, first perceived her; and after$4$ observing her 
207:180,09['  ]| for$4$ a few moments with silent anxiety, said, in$4$ a tone 
207:180,10['  ]| of the most considerate gentleness, 
207:180,11[A  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne, may$1$ I ask?" ~~ 
207:180,12[C  ]| "No$7$, $SS#A$Elinor," 
207:180,12['  ]| she replied, 
207:180,12[C  ]| "ask nothing; you will$1$ 
207:180,13[C  ]| soon know all." 
207:180,14['  ]| The sort of desperate calmness with which$6#1$ this was 
207:180,15['  ]| said, lasted no$2$ longer than while$3$ she spoke, and was 
207:180,16['  ]| immediately followed by$4$ a return$0$ of the same excessive 
207:180,17['  ]| affliction.  It was some minutes before$3$ she could go on$5$ 
207:180,18['  ]| with her letter, and the frequent bursts of grief which$6#1$ 
207:180,19['  ]| still$5$ obliged her, at intervals, to$9$ withhold her pen, were 
207:180,20['  ]| proofs enough of her feeling how more than probable it 
207:180,21['  ]| was that$3$ she was writing for$4$ the last$2$ time to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby. 
207:180,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor paid her every quiet$2$ and unobtrusive attention 
207:180,23['  ]| in$4$ her power; and she would have tried to$9$ sooth and 
207:180,24['  ]| tranquillize her still$5$ more, had not $SS#C$Marianne entreated 
207:180,25['  ]| her, with all the eagerness of the most nervous irritability, 
207:180,26@c   | not to$9$ speak to$4$ her for$4$ the world.  
207:180,26['  ]| In$4$ such circumstances, 
207:180,27['  ]| it was better for$4$ both that$3$ they should not be long 
207:180,28['  ]| together; and the restless state$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne's mind$0$ not 
207:180,29['  ]| only prevented her from remaining in$4$ the room a moment 
207:180,30['  ]| after$3$ she was dressed, but requiring at once solitude and 
207:180,31['  ]| continual change$0$ of place$0$, made her wander about$4$ the 
207:180,32['  ]| house till breakfast$0$ time, avoiding the sight of every*body. 
207:180,33['  ]| 
207:181,01['  ]| At breakfast$0$ she neither ate, nor attempted to$9$ eat 
207:181,02['  ]| any*thing; and $SS#A$Elinor's attention was then all employed, 
207:181,03['  ]| not in$4$ urging her, not in$4$ pitying her, nor in$4$ appearing 
207:181,04['  ]| to$9$ regard$1$ her, but in$4$ endeavouring to$9$ engage $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
207:181,05['  ]| notice$0$ entirely to$4$ herself. 
207:181,06['  ]| As this was a favourite$2$ meal with $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, it 
207:181,07['  ]| lasted a considerable time, and they were just$5$ setting 
207:181,08['  ]| themselves, after$4$ it, round$4$ the common$2$ working*table, 
207:181,09['  ]| when a letter was delivered to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, which$6#1$ she 
207:181,10['  ]| eagerly caught from the servant, and, turning of a death-like 
207:181,11['  ]| paleness, instantly ran out$5$ of the room.  $SS#A$Elinor, 
207:181,12['  ]| who$6#1$ saw as plainly by$4$ this, as if she had seen the direction, 
207:181,13['  ]| that$3$ it must come from $SS#R$Willoughby, felt immediately 
207:181,14['  ]| such a sickness at heart as made her hardly able 
207:181,15['  ]| to$9$ hold$1$ up$5$ her head$0$, and sat in$4$ such a general$2$ tremour 
207:181,16['  ]| as made her fear$1$ it impossible to$9$ escape$1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
207:181,17['  ]| notice$0$.  That$3$ good lady, however, saw only that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne 
207:181,18['  ]| had received a letter from $SS#R$Willoughby, which$6#1$ 
207:181,19['  ]| appeared to$4$ her a very good joke, and which$6#1$ she treated 
207:181,20['  ]| accordingly, by$4$ hoping, with a laugh$0$, that$3$ she would 
207:181,21['  ]| find it to$4$ her liking.  Of $SS#A$Elinor's distress$0$, she was too$5#1$ 
207:181,22['  ]| busily employed in$4$ measuring lengths of worsted for$4$ her 
207:181,23['  ]| rug, to$9$ see any*thing at all; and calmly continuing 
207:181,24['  ]| her talk$0$, as soon as $SS#C$Marianne disappeared, she said, 
207:181,25[K  ]| "Upon$4$ my word I never saw a young woman so$5#1$ 
207:181,26[K  ]| desperately in$4$ love$0$ in$4$ my life!  \My\ girls were nothing 
207:181,27[K  ]| to$4$ her, and yet they used to$9$ be foolish enough; but as 
207:181,28[K  ]| for$4$ $SS#C$Miss*Marianne, she is quite an altered creature. 
207:181,29[K  ]| I hope$1$, from the bottom of my heart, he wo'nt keep 
207:181,30[K  ]| her waiting much longer, for$3$ it is quite grievous to$9$ see 
207:181,31[K  ]| her look$1$ so$5#1$ ill and forlorn.  Pray, when are they to$9$ be 
207:181,32[K  ]| married?" 
207:181,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, though never less disposed to$9$ speak than at 
207:181,34['  ]| that$6#2$ moment, obliged herself to$9$ answer$1$ such an attack$0$ 
207:181,35['  ]| as this, and, therefore, trying to$9$ smile$1$, replied, 
207:181,35[A  ]| "And 
207:181,36[A  ]| have you really, Ma'am, talked yourself into a persuasion 
207:181,37[A  ]| of my sister's being$1$ engaged to$4$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby? 
207:181,38[A  ]| I thought$1$ it had been only a joke, but so$5#1$ serious$2$ 
207:182,01[A  ]| a question$0$ seems to$9$ imply more; and I must beg, 
207:182,02[A  ]| therefore, that$3$ you will$1$ not deceive yourself any longer. 
207:182,03[A  ]| I do assure you that$3$ nothing would surprise$1$ me more 
207:182,04[A  ]| than to$9$ hear of their being$1$ going to$9$ be married." 
207:182,05[K  ]| "For$4$ shame$0$, for$4$ shame$0$, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood!  how can 
207:182,06[K  ]| you talk$1$ so$5#2$!  Don't we all know that$3$ it must be a match$0$, 
207:182,07[K  ]| that$3$ they were over head$0$ and ears in$4$ love$0$ with each 
207:182,08[K  ]| other from the first moment they met?  Did not I see 
207:182,09[K  ]| them together in$4$ Devonshire every day, and all day 
207:182,10[K  ]| long; and did not I know that$3$ your sister came to$4$ 
207:182,11[K  ]| town with me on$4$ purpose to$9$ buy wedding clothes? 
207:182,12[K  ]| Come, come, this wo'nt do.  Because you are so$5#1$ sly 
207:182,13[K  ]| about$4$ it yourself, you think nobody else has any senses; 
207:182,14[K  ]| but it is no$2$ such thing, I can tell you, for$3$ it has been 
207:182,15[K  ]| known all over town this ever so$5#1$ long.  I tell every*body 
207:182,16[K  ]| of it and so$5#2$ does $SS#O$Charlotte." 
207:182,17[A  ]| "Indeed, Ma'am," 
207:182,17['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, very seriously, 
207:182,17[A  ]| "you 
207:182,18[A  ]| are mistaken.  Indeed, you are doing a very unkind 
207:182,19[A  ]| thing in$4$ spreading the report$0$, and you will$1$ find that$3$ 
207:182,20[A  ]| you have, though you will$1$ not believe me now." 
207:182,21['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings laughed again, but $SS#A$Elinor had not 
207:182,22['  ]| spirits to$9$ say more, and eager at all events to$9$ know 
207:182,23['  ]| what $SS#R$Willoughby had written, hurried away to$4$ their 
207:182,24['  ]| room, where, on$4$ opening the door, she saw $SS#C$Marianne 
207:182,25['  ]| stretched on$4$ the bed, almost choked by$4$ grief, one letter 
207:182,26['  ]| in$4$ her hand$0$, and two or three others lying by$4$ her. 
207:182,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor drew near$5$, but without saying a word; and 
207:182,28['  ]| seating herself on$4$ the bed, took her hand$0$, kissed her 
207:182,29['  ]| affectionately several times, and then gave way to$4$ 
207:182,30['  ]| a burst$0$ of tears, which$6#1$ at first was scarcely less violent 
207:182,31['  ]| than $SS#C$Marianne's.  The latter, though unable to$9$ speak, 
207:182,32['  ]| seemed to$9$ feel all the tenderness of this behaviour, and 
207:182,33['  ]| after$4$ some time thus spent in$4$ joint affliction, she put 
207:182,34['  ]| all the letters into $SS#A$Elinor's hands; and then covering 
207:182,35['  ]| her face$0$ with her handkerchief, almost screamed with 
207:182,36['  ]| agony.  $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ knew that$3$ such grief, shocking as 
207:182,37['  ]| it was to$9$ witness$1$ it, must have its course$0$, watched by$4$ 
207:182,38['  ]| her till this excess of suffering had somewhat spent itself, 
207:183,01['  ]| and then turning eagerly to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby's letter, read as 
207:183,02['  ]| follows: 
207:183,03[R  ]|                                \Bond*Street\, \January\. 
207:183,04[R  ]| MY DEAR$2#1$ MADAM, 
207:183,05[R  ]| I have just$5$ had the honour$0$ of receiving your letter, 
207:183,06[R  ]| for$4$ which$6#1$ I beg to$9$ return$1$ my sincere acknowledgments. 
207:183,07[R  ]| I am much concerned to$9$ find there was any*thing in$4$ 
207:183,08[R  ]| my behaviour last$2$ night that$6#1$ did not meet$1$ your approbation; 
207:183,09[R  ]| and though I am quite at a loss to$9$ discover in$4$ 
207:183,10[R  ]| what point$0$ I could be so$5#1$ unfortunate as to$9$ offend you, 
207:183,11[R  ]| I entreat your forgiveness of what I can assure you to$9$ 
207:183,12[R  ]| have been perfectly unintentional.  I shall never reflect 
207:183,13[R  ]| on$4$ my former acquaintance with your family in$4$ Devonshire 
207:183,14[R  ]| without the most grateful pleasure, and flatter 
207:183,15[R  ]| myself it will$1$ not be broken by$4$ any mistake$0$ or misapprehension 
207:183,16[R  ]| of my actions.  My esteem$0$ for$4$ your whole$2$ 
207:183,17[R  ]| family is very sincere; but if I have been so$5#1$ unfortunate 
207:183,18[R  ]| as to$9$ give rise$0$ to$4$ a belief of more than I felt, or meant 
207:183,19[R  ]| to$9$ express$1$, I shall reproach$1$ myself for$4$ not having been 
207:183,20[R  ]| more guarded in$4$ my professions of that$6#2$ esteem$0$.  That$3$ 
207:183,21[R  ]| I should ever have meant more you will$1$ allow to$9$ be 
207:183,22[R  ]| impossible, when you understand that$3$ my affections 
207:183,23[R  ]| have been long engaged elsewhere, and it will$1$ not be 
207:183,24[R  ]| many weeks, I believe, before$3$ this engagement is fulfilled. 
207:183,25[R  ]| It is with great regret$0$ that$3$ I obey your commands 
207:183,26[R  ]| of returning the letters, with which$6#1$ I have been honoured 
207:183,27[R  ]| from you, and the lock$0$ of hair, which$6#1$ you so$5#1$ obligingly 
207:183,28[R  ]| bestowed on$4$ me. 
207:183,29[R  ]|           I am, dear$2#1$ Madam, 
207:183,30[R  ]|               Your most obedient 
207:183,31[R  ]|                  humble$2$ Servant, 
207:183,32[R  ]|                              $SS#R$JOHN*WILLOUGHBY.
207:183,33[R  ]|  
207:183,34['  ]| With what indignation such a letter as this must be 
207:183,35['  ]| read by$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, may$1$ be imagined.  Though 
207:183,36['  ]| aware, before$3$ she began it, that$3$ it must bring a confession 
207:183,37['  ]| of his inconstancy, and confirm their separation 
207:183,38['  ]| for*ever, she was not aware that$3$ such language could 
207:184,01['  ]| be suffered to$9$ announce it; nor could she have supposed 
207:184,02['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby capable of departing so$5#1$ far from the appearance 
207:184,03['  ]| of every honourable and delicate feeling ~~ so$5#1$ far 
207:184,04['  ]| from the common$2$ decorum of a gentleman, as to$9$ send 
207:184,05['  ]| a letter so$5#1$ impudently cruel:  a letter which$6#1$, instead of 
207:184,06['  ]| bringing with his desire$0$ of a release$0$ any professions of 
207:184,07['  ]| regret$0$, acknowledged no$2$ breach of faith, denied all 
207:184,08['  ]| peculiar affection whatever ~~ a letter of which$6#1$ every line 
207:184,09['  ]| was an insult, and which$6#1$ proclaimed its writer to$9$ be 
207:184,10['  ]| deep in$4$ hardened villany. 
207:184,11['  ]| She paused over it for$4$ some time with indignant 
207:184,12['  ]| astonishment; then read it again and again; but every 
207:184,13['  ]| perusal only served to$9$ increase$1$ her abhorrence of the 
207:184,14['  ]| man, and so$5#1$ bitter were her feelings against him, that$3$ 
207:184,15['  ]| she dared not trust$1$ herself to$9$ speak, lest she might 
207:184,16['  ]| wound$1#2$ $SS#C$Marianne still$5$ deeper by$4$ treating their disengagement, 
207:184,17['  ]| not as a loss to$4$ her of any possible good but as 
207:184,18['  ]| an escape$0$ from the worst and most irremediable of all 
207:184,19['  ]| evils, a connection, for$4$ life, with an unprincipled man, 
207:184,20['  ]| as a deliverance the most real, a blessing the most 
207:184,21['  ]| important. 
207:184,22['  ]| In$4$ her earnest meditations on$4$ the contents of the 
207:184,23['  ]| letter, on$4$ the depravity of that$6#2$ mind$0$ which$6#1$ could dictate$1$ 
207:184,24['  ]| it, and, probably, on$4$ the very different mind$0$ of a very 
207:184,25['  ]| different person, who$6#1$ had no$2$ other connection whatever 
207:184,26['  ]| with the affair than what her heart gave him with every*thing 
207:184,27['  ]| that$6#1$ passed, $SS#A$Elinor forgot the immediate distress$0$ 
207:184,28['  ]| of her sister, forgot that$3$ she had three letters on$4$ her lap 
207:184,29['  ]| yet unread, and so$5#1$ entirely forgot how long she had 
207:184,30['  ]| been in$4$ the room, that$3$ when on$4$ hearing a carriage drive$1$ 
207:184,31['  ]| up$5$ to$4$ the door, she went to$4$ the window to$9$ see who$6#1$ 
207:184,32['  ]| could be coming so$5#1$ unreasonably early, she was all 
207:184,33['  ]| astonishment to$9$ perceive $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's chariot, which$6#1$ 
207:184,34['  ]| she knew had not been ordered till one.  Determined 
207:184,35['  ]| not to$9$ quit $SS#C$Marianne, though hopeless of contributing, 
207:184,36['  ]| at present$0#1$, to$4$ her ease$0$, she hurried away to$9$ excuse$1$ 
207:184,37['  ]| herself from attending $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, on$4$ account$0$ of her 
207:184,38['  ]| sister being$1$ indisposed.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, with a thoroughly 
207:185,01['  ]| good-humoured concern$0$ for$4$ its cause, admitted the 
207:185,02['  ]| excuse$0$ most readily, and $SS#A$Elinor, after$4$ seeing her safe 
207:185,03['  ]| off, returned to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, whom$6#1$ she found attempting 
207:185,04['  ]| to$9$ rise$1$ from the bed, and whom$6#1$ she reached just$5$ in$4$ time 
207:185,05['  ]| to$9$ prevent her from falling on$4$ the floor, faint$2$ and giddy 
207:185,06['  ]| from a long want$0$ of proper rest$0#2$ and food; for$3$ it was 
207:185,07['  ]| many days since she had any appetite, and many nights 
207:185,08['  ]| since she had really slept; and now, when her mind$0$ 
207:185,09['  ]| was no$2$ longer supported by$4$ the fever of suspense, the 
207:185,10['  ]| consequence of all this was felt in$4$ an aching head$0$, 
207:185,11['  ]| a weakened stomach, and a general$2$ nervous faintness. 
207:185,12['  ]| A glass of wine, which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor procured for$4$ her directly, 
207:185,13['  ]| made her more comfortable, and she was at last$0$ able 
207:185,14['  ]| to$9$ express$1$ some sense of her kindness, by$4$ saying, 
207:185,15[C  ]| "Poor $SS#A$Elinor! how unhappy I make$1$ you!" 
207:185,16[A  ]| "I only wish$1$," 
207:185,16['  ]| replied her sister, 
207:185,16[A  ]| "there were any*thing 
207:185,17[A  ]| I \could\ do, which$6#1$ might be of comfort$0$ to$4$ you." 
207:185,18['  ]| This, as every*thing else would have been, was too$5#1$ 
207:185,19['  ]| much for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ could only exclaim, in$4$ the 
207:185,20['  ]| anguish of her heart, 
207:185,20[C  ]| "Oh! $SS#A$Elinor, I am miserable 
207:185,21[C  ]| indeed," 
207:185,21['  ]| before$3$ her voice was entirely lost in$4$ sobs. 
207:185,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could no$2$ longer witness$1$ this torrent of unresisted 
207:185,23['  ]| grief in$4$ silence$0$. 
207:185,24[A  ]| "Exert yourself, dear$2#1$ $SS#C$Marianne," 
207:185,24['  ]| she cried, 
207:185,24[A  ]| "if you 
207:185,25[A  ]| would not kill yourself and all who$6#1$ love$1$ you.  Think of 
207:185,26[A  ]| your mother; think of her misery while$3$ \you\ suffer; for$4$ 
207:185,27[A  ]| her sake you must exert yourself." 
207:185,28[C  ]| "I cannot, I cannot," 
207:185,28['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne; 
207:185,28[C  ]| "leave$1$ me, 
207:185,29[C  ]| leave$1$ me, if I distress$1$ you; leave$1$ me, hate me, forget 
207:185,30[C  ]| me! but do not torture me so$5#2$.  Oh! how easy for$4$ 
207:185,31[C  ]| those who$6#1$ have no$2$ sorrow of their own$2$ to$9$ talk$1$ of exertion! 
207:185,32[C  ]| Happy, happy $SS#A$Elinor, \you\ cannot have an idea 
207:185,33[C  ]| of what I suffer." 
207:185,34[A  ]| "Do you call$1$ \me\ happy, $SS#C$Marianne?  Ah! if you 
207:185,35[A  ]| knew! ~~ And can you believe me to$9$ be so$5#2$, while$3$ I see 
207:185,36[A  ]| you so$5#1$ wretched!" 
207:185,37[C  ]| "Forgive me, forgive me," 
207:185,37['  ]| throwing her arms round$4$ 
207:185,38['  ]| her sister's neck; 
207:185,38[C  ]| "I know you feel for$4$ me; I know 
207:186,01[C  ]| what a heart you have; but yet you are ~~ you must be 
207:186,02[C  ]| happy; $SS#B$Edward loves you ~~ what, oh! what can do 
207:186,03[C  ]| away such happiness as that$6#2$?" 
207:186,04[A  ]| "Many, many circumstances," 
207:186,04['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, solemnly. 
207:186,05[C  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, no$7$," 
207:186,05['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne wildly, 
207:186,05[C  ]| "he loves you, 
207:186,06[C  ]| and only you.  You \can\ have no$2$ grief." 
207:186,07[A  ]| "I can have no$2$ pleasure while$3$ I see you in$4$ this state$0$." 
207:186,08[C  ]| "And you will$1$ never see me otherwise.  Mine$6$ is 
207:186,09[C  ]| a misery which$6#1$ nothing can do away." 
207:186,10[A  ]| "You must not talk$1$ so$5#2$, $SS#C$Marianne.  Have you no$2$ 
207:186,11[A  ]| comforts?  no$2$ friends?  Is your loss such as leaves$1$ no$2$ 
207:186,12[A  ]| opening for$4$ consolation?  Much as you suffer now, think 
207:186,13[A  ]| of what you would have suffered if the discovery of his 
207:186,14[A  ]| character had been delayed to$4$ a later period ~~ if your 
207:186,15[A  ]| engagement had been carried on$5$ for$4$ months and months, 
207:186,16[A  ]| as it might have been, before$3$ he chose to$9$ put an end$0$ 
207:186,17[A  ]| to$4$ it.  Every additional day of unhappy confidence, on$4$ 
207:186,18[A  ]| your side$0$, would have made the blow more dreadful." 
207:186,19[C  ]| "Engagement!" 
207:186,19['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
207:186,19[C  ]| "there has been no$2$ 
207:186,20[C  ]| engagement." 
207:186,21[A  ]| "No$2$ engagement!" 
207:186,22[C  ]| "No$7$, he is not so$5#1$ unworthy as you believe him.  He 
207:186,23[C  ]| has broken no$2$ faith with me." 
207:186,24[A  ]| "But he told you that$3$ he loved you?" ~~ 
207:186,25[C  ]| "Yes ~~ no$7$ ~~ never absolutely.  It was every day 
207:186,26[C  ]| implied, but never professedly declared.  Sometimes 
207:186,27[C  ]| I thought$1$ it had been ~~ but it never was." 
207:186,28[A  ]| "Yet you wrote to$4$ him?" ~~ 
207:186,29[C  ]| "Yes ~~ could that$6#2$ be wrong after$4$ all that$6#1$ had passed? 
207:186,30[C  ]| ~~ But I cannot talk$1$." 
207:186,31['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor said no$2$ more, and turning again to$4$ the three 
207:186,32['  ]| letters which$6#1$ now raised a much stronger curiosity than 
207:186,33['  ]| before$5$, directly ran over the contents of all.  The first, 
207:186,34['  ]| which$6#1$ was what her sister had sent him on$4$ their arrival 
207:186,35['  ]| in$4$ town, was to$4$ this effect$0$. 
207:186,36[C  ]|                             \Berkeley*Street\, \January\. 
207:186,37[C  ]| How surprised you will$1$ be, $SS#R$Willoughby, on$4$ receiving 
207:186,38[C  ]| this; and I think you will$1$ feel something more than 
207:187,01[C  ]| surprise$0$, when you know that$3$ I am in$4$ town.  An opportunity 
207:187,02[C  ]| of coming hither, though with $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
207:187,03[C  ]| was a temptation we could not resist.  I wish$1$ you may$1$ 
207:187,04[C  ]| receive this in$4$ time to$9$ come here to-night, but I will$1$ 
207:187,05[C  ]| not depend on$4$ it.  At any rate$0$ I shall expect you 
207:187,06[C  ]| to-morrow.  For$4$ the present$0#1$, adieu. 
207:187,07[C  ]|                                           $SS#C$M%*D% 
207:187,08['  ]| Her second$2$ note$0$, which$6#1$ had been written on$4$ the 
207:187,09['  ]| morning after$4$ the dance$0$ at the $SS#L1$Middletons', was in$4$ 
207:187,10['  ]| these words: ~~ 
207:187,11[C  ]| "I cannot express$1$ my disappointment in$4$ having 
207:187,12[C  ]| missed you the day before$4$ yesterday, nor my astonishment 
207:187,13[C  ]| at not having received any answer$0$ to$4$ a note$0$ which$6#1$ 
207:187,14[C  ]| I sent you above$4$ a week ago.  I have been expecting 
207:187,15[C  ]| to$9$ hear from you, and still$5$ more to$9$ see you, every hour 
207:187,16[C  ]| of the day.  Pray call$1$ again as soon as possible, and 
207:187,17[C  ]| explain the reason$0$ of my having expected this in$4$ vain. 
207:187,18[C  ]| You had better come earlier another time, because we 
207:187,19[C  ]| are generally out$5$ by$4$ one.  We were last$2$ night at $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's, 
207:187,20[C  ]| where there was a dance$0$.  I have been told 
207:187,21[C  ]| that$3$ you were asked to$9$ be of the party.  But could it 
207:187,22[C  ]| be so$5#2$?  You must be very much altered indeed since 
207:187,23[C  ]| we parted, if that$6#2$ could be the case, and you not there. 
207:187,24[C  ]| But I will$1$ not suppose this possible, and I hope$1$ very 
207:187,25[C  ]| soon to$9$ receive your personal assurance of its being$1$ 
207:187,26[C  ]| otherwise." 
207:187,27[C  ]|                                             $SS#C$M%*D% 
207:187,28['  ]| The contents of her last$2$ note$0$ to$4$ him were these: ~~ 
207:187,29[C  ]| "What am I to$9$ imagine, $SS#R$Willoughby, by$4$ your 
207:187,30[C  ]| behaviour last$2$ night?  Again I demand$1$ an explanation 
207:187,31[C  ]| of it.  I was prepared to$9$ meet$1$ you with the pleasure 
207:187,32[C  ]| which$6#1$ our separation naturally produced, with the 
207:187,33[C  ]| familiarity which$6#1$ our intimacy at Barton appeared to$4$ 
207:187,34[C  ]| me to$9$ justify.  I was repulsed indeed!  I have passed 
207:187,35[C  ]| a wretched night in$4$ endeavouring to$9$ excuse$1$ a conduct$0$ 
207:187,36[C  ]| which$6#1$ can scarcely be called less than insulting; but 
207:187,37[C  ]| though I have not yet been able to$9$ form$1$ any reasonable 
207:188,01[C  ]| apology for$4$ your behaviour, I am perfectly ready to$9$ 
207:188,02[C  ]| hear your justification of it.  You have perhaps been 
207:188,03[C  ]| misinformed, or purposely deceived, in$4$ something concerning 
207:188,04[C  ]| me, which$6#1$ may$1$ have lowered me in$4$ your opinion. 
207:188,05[C  ]| Tell me what it is, explain the grounds on$4$ which$6#1$ you 
207:188,06[C  ]| acted, and I shall be satisfied, in$4$ being$1$ able to$9$ satisfy 
207:188,07[C  ]| you.  It would grieve me indeed to$9$ be obliged to$9$ think 
207:188,08[C  ]| ill of you; but if I am to$9$ do it, if I am to$9$ learn that$3$ 
207:188,09[C  ]| you are not what we have hitherto believed you, that$3$ 
207:188,10[C  ]| your regard$0$ for$4$ us all was insincere, that$3$ your behaviour 
207:188,11[C  ]| to$4$ me was intended only to$9$ deceive, let it be told as 
207:188,12[C  ]| soon as possible.  My feelings are at present$0#1$ in$4$ a state$0$ 
207:188,13[C  ]| of dreadful indecision; I wish$1$ to$9$ acquit you, but certainty 
207:188,14[C  ]| on$4$ either side$0$ will$1$ be ease$0$ to$4$ what I now suffer. 
207:188,15[C  ]| If your sentiments are no$2$ longer what they were, you 
207:188,16[C  ]| will$1$ return$1$ my notes, and the lock$0$ of my hair which$6#1$ is 
207:188,17[C  ]| in$4$ your possession." 
207:188,18[C  ]|                                               $SS#C$M%*D% 
207:188,19['  ]| That$3$ such letters, so$5#1$ full of affection and confidence, 
207:188,20['  ]| could have been so$5#2$ answered, $SS#A$Elinor, for$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby's 
207:188,21['  ]| sake, would have been unwilling to$9$ believe.  But her 
207:188,22['  ]| condemnation of him did not blind$1$ her to$4$ the impropriety 
207:188,23['  ]| of their having been written at all; and she 
207:188,24['  ]| was silently grieving over the imprudence which$6#1$ had 
207:188,25['  ]| hazarded such unsolicited proofs of tenderness, not 
207:188,26['  ]| warranted by$4$ anything preceding, and most severely 
207:188,27['  ]| condemned by$4$ the event, when $SS#C$Marianne, perceiving 
207:188,28['  ]| that$3$ she had finished the letters, observed to$4$ her that$3$ 
207:188,29@c   | they contained nothing but what any*one would have 
207:188,30@c   | written in$4$ the same situation. 
207:188,31[C  ]| "I felt myself," 
207:188,31['  ]| she added, 
207:188,31[C  ]| "to$9$ be as solemnly 
207:188,32[C  ]| engaged to$4$ him, as if the strictest legal covenant had 
207:188,33[C  ]| bound us to$4$ each other." 
207:188,34[A  ]| "I can believe it," 
207:188,34['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor; 
207:188,34[A  ]| "but unfortunately 
207:188,35[A  ]| he did not feel the same." 
207:188,36[C  ]| "He \did\ feel the same, $SS#A$Elinor ~~ for$4$ weeks and weeks 
207:188,37[C  ]| he felt it.  I know he did.  Whatever may$1$ have changed 
207:188,38[C  ]| him now, (and nothing but the blackest art employed 
207:189,01[C  ]| against me can have done it,) I was once as dear$2#1$ to$4$ him 
207:189,02[C  ]| as my own$2$ soul could wish$1$.  This lock$0$ of hair, which$6#1$ 
207:189,03[C  ]| now he can so$5#1$ readily give up$5$, was begged of me with 
207:189,04[C  ]| the most earnest supplication.  Had you seen his look$0$, 
207:189,05[C  ]| his manner, had you heard his voice at that$6#2$ moment! 
207:189,06[C  ]| Have you forgot the last$2$ evening of our being$1$ together 
207:189,07[C  ]| at Barton?  The morning that$6#1$ we parted too$5#2$!  When 
207:189,08[C  ]| he told me that$3$ it might be many weeks before$3$ we meet$1$ 
207:189,09[C  ]| again ~~ his distress$0$ ~~ can I ever forget his distress$0$!" 
207:189,10['  ]| For$4$ a moment or two she could say no$2$ more; but 
207:189,11['  ]| when this emotion had passed away, she added, in$4$ 
207:189,12['  ]| a firmer tone, 
207:189,13[C  ]| "$SS#A$Elinor, I have been cruelly used; but not by$4$ 
207:189,14[C  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby." 
207:189,15[A  ]| "Dearest $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#2$ but himself?  By$4$ whom$6#2$ can 
207:189,16[A  ]| he have been instigated?" 
207:189,17[C  ]| "By$4$ all the world, rather than by$4$ his own$2$ heart. 
207:189,18[C  ]| I could rather believe every creature of my acquaintance 
207:189,19[C  ]| leagued together to$9$ ruin$1$ me in$4$ his opinion, than believe 
207:189,20[C  ]| his nature capable of such cruelty.  This woman of 
207:189,21[C  ]| whom$6#1$ he writes ~~ whoever she be ~~ or any*one, in$4$ short, 
207:189,22[C  ]| but your own$2$ dear$2#1$ self, mama, and $SS#B$Edward, may$1$ have 
207:189,23[C  ]| been so$5#1$ barbarous to$9$ bely me.  Beyond$4$ you three, is 
207:189,24[C  ]| there a creature in$4$ the world whom$6#1$ I would not rather 
207:189,25[C  ]| suspect of evil than $SS#R$Willoughby, whose$6#1$ heart I know 
207:189,26[C  ]| so$5#1$ well$5$?" 
207:189,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor would not contend, and only replied, 
207:189,27[A  ]| "Whoever 
207:189,28[A  ]| may$1$ have been so$5#1$ detestably your enemy, let them 
207:189,29[A  ]| be cheated of their malignant triumph$0$, my dear$2#1$ sister, 
207:189,30[A  ]| by$4$ seeing how nobly the consciousness of your own$2$ 
207:189,31[A  ]| innocence and good intentions supports your spirits. 
207:189,32[A  ]| It is a reasonable and laudable pride which$6#1$ resists such 
207:189,33[A  ]| malevolence." 
207:189,34[C  ]| "No$7$, no$7$," 
207:189,34['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne, 
207:189,34[C  ]| "misery such as mine$6$ has 
207:189,35[C  ]| no$2$ pride.  I care$1$ not who$6#1$ knows that$3$ I am wretched. 
207:189,36[C  ]| The triumph$0$ of seeing me so$5#2$ may$1$ be open$2$ to$4$ all the 
207:189,37[C  ]| world.  $SS#A$Elinor, $SS#A$Elinor, they who$6#1$ suffer little may$1$ be 
207:189,38[C  ]| proud and independent as they like$1$ ~~ may$1$ resist insult, 
207:190,01[C  ]| or return$1$ mortification ~~ but I cannot.  I must feel ~~ 
207:190,02[C  ]| I must be wretched ~~ and they are welcome$2$ to$9$ enjoy 
207:190,03[C  ]| the consciousness of it that$6#1$ can." 
207:190,04[A  ]| "But for$4$ my mother's sake and mine$6$" ~~ 
207:190,05[C  ]| "I would do more than for$4$ my own$2$.  But to$9$ appear 
207:190,06[C  ]| happy when I am so$5#1$ miserable ~~ Oh!  who$6#2$ can require 
207:190,07[C  ]| it?" 
207:190,08['  ]| Again they were both silent.  $SS#A$Elinor was employed 
207:190,09['  ]| in$4$ walking thoughtfully from the fire$0$ to$4$ the window, 
207:190,10['  ]| from the window to$4$ the fire$0$, without knowing that$3$ she 
207:190,11['  ]| received warmth from one, or discerning objects$0$ through$4$ 
207:190,12['  ]| the other; and $SS#C$Marianne, seated at the foot of the bed, 
207:190,13['  ]| with her head$0$ leaning against one of its posts, again 
207:190,14['  ]| took up$5$ $SS#R$Willoughby's letter, and after$4$ shuddering over 
207:190,15['  ]| every sentence, exclaimed ~~ 
207:190,16[C  ]| "It is too$5#1$ much!  Oh!  $SS#R$Willoughby, $SS#R$Willoughby, 
207:190,17[C  ]| could this be yours!  Cruel, cruel ~~ nothing can acquit 
207:190,18[C  ]| you.  $SS#A$Elinor, nothing can.  Whatever he might have 
207:190,19[C  ]| heard against me ~~ ought he not to$9$ have suspended his 
207:190,20[C  ]| belief?  ought he not to$9$ have told me of it, to$9$ have 
207:190,21[C  ]| given me the power of clearing myself? 
207:190,21[R  ]| ""The lock$0$ of 
207:190,22[R  ]| hair, 
207:190,22['  ]| (repeating it from the letter,) 
207:190,22[R  ]| which$6#1$ you so$5#1$ obligingly 
207:190,23[R  ]| bestowed on$4$ me"" ~~ 
207:190,23[C  ]| That$6#2$ is unpardonable.  $SS#R$Willoughby, 
207:190,24[C  ]| where was your heart, when you wrote those 
207:190,25[C  ]| words?  Oh! barbarously insolent! ~~ $SS#A$Elinor, can he be 
207:190,26[C  ]| justified?" 
207:190,27[A  ]| "No$7$, $SS#C$Marianne, in$4$ no$2$ possible way." 
207:190,28[C  ]| "And yet this woman ~~ who$6#2$ knows what her art may$1$ 
207:190,29[C  ]| have been ~~ how long it may$1$ have been premeditated, 
207:190,30[C  ]| and how deeply contrived by$4$ her! ~~ Who$6#2$ is she?  ~~ Who$6#2$ 
207:190,31[C  ]| can she be? ~~ Whom$6#2$ did I ever hear him talk$1$ of as 
207:190,32[C  ]| young and attractive among his female$2$ acquaintance? ~~ 
207:190,33[C  ]| Oh! no*one, no*one ~~ he talked to$4$ me only of myself." 
207:190,34['  ]| Another pause$0$ ensued; $SS#C$Marianne was greatly agitated, 
207:190,35['  ]| and it ended thus. 
207:190,36[C  ]| "$SS#A$Elinor, I must go home.  I must go and comfort$1$ 
207:190,37[C  ]| mama.  Cannot we be gone to-morrow?" 
207:190,38[A  ]| "To-morrow, $SS#C$Marianne!" 
207:191,01[C  ]| "Yes; why should I stay$1$ here?  I came only for$4$ 
207:191,02[C  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby's sake ~~ and now who$6#2$ cares$1$ for$4$ me?  Who$6#2$ 
207:191,03[C  ]| regards$1$ me?" 
207:191,04[A  ]| "It would be impossible to$9$ go to-morrow.  We owe 
207:191,05[A  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings much more than civility; and civility of 
207:191,06[A  ]| the commonest kind$0$ must prevent such a hasty removal 
207:191,07[A  ]| as that$6#2$." 
207:191,08[C  ]| "Well$7$, then, another day or two, perhaps; but 
207:191,09[C  ]| I cannot stay$1$ here long, I cannot stay$1$ to$9$ endure the 
207:191,10[C  ]| questions and remarks of all these people.  The $SS#L1$Middletons 
207:191,11[C  ]| and $SS#N1$Palmers ~~ how am I to$9$ bear$1$ their pity$0$?  The 
207:191,12[C  ]| pity$0$ of such a woman as $SS#M$Lady*Middleton!  Oh!  what 
207:191,13[C  ]| would \he\ say to$4$ that$6#2$!" 
207:191,14['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor advised her to$9$ lie$1$ down$5$ again, and for$4$ a moment 
207:191,15['  ]| she did so$5#2$; but no$2$ attitude could give her ease$0$; and 
207:191,16['  ]| in$4$ restless pain$0$ of mind$0$ and body she moved from one 
207:191,17['  ]| posture to$4$ another, till growing more and more hysterical, 
207:191,18['  ]| her sister could with difficulty keep her on$4$ the bed at 
207:191,19['  ]| all, and for$4$ some time was fearful of being$1$ constrained 
207:191,20['  ]| to$9$ call$1$ for$4$ assistance.  Some lavender drops$0$, however, 
207:191,21['  ]| which$6#1$ she was at length persuaded to$9$ take, were of use$0$; 
207:191,22['  ]| and from that$6#2$ time till $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings returned, she 
207:191,23['  ]| continued on$4$ the bed quiet$2$ and motionless. 
208:192,01['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings came immediately to$4$ their room on$4$ 
208:192,02['  ]| her return$0$, and without waiting to$9$ have her request$0$ of 
208:192,03['  ]| admittance answered, opened the door and walked in$5$ 
208:192,04['  ]| with a look$0$ of real concern$0$. 
208:192,05[K  ]| "How do you do my dear$2#1$?" ~~ 
208:192,05['  ]| said she in$4$ a voice of 
208:192,06['  ]| great compassion to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ turned away her 
208:192,07['  ]| face$0$ without attempting to$9$ answer$1$. 
208:192,08[K  ]| "How is she, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood? ~~ Poor thing!  she 
208:192,09[K  ]| looks$1$ very bad.  ~~ No$2$ wonder$0$.  Aye, it is but too$5#1$ true. 
208:192,10[K  ]| He is to$9$ be married very soon ~~ a good-for-nothing 
208:192,11[K  ]| fellow!  I have no$2$ patience with him.  $SS#ZZH$Mrs%*Taylor 
208:192,12[K  ]| told me of it half an hour ago, and she was told it by$4$ 
208:192,13[K  ]| a particular friend of $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey herself, else I am sure 
208:192,14[K  ]| I should not have believed it; and I was almost ready 
208:192,15[K  ]| to$9$ sink as it was.  Well$7$, said I, all I can say is, that$3$ 
208:192,16[K  ]| if it is true, he has used a young lady of my acquaintance 
208:192,17[K  ]| abominably ill, and I wish$1$ with all my soul his wife 
208:192,18[K  ]| may$1$ plague his heart out$5$.  And so$3$ I shall always say, 
208:192,19[K  ]| my dear$2#1$, you may$1$ depend on$4$ it.  I have no$2$ notion of 
208:192,20[K  ]| men's going on$5$ in$4$ this way:  and if ever I meet$1$ him 
208:192,21[K  ]| again, I will$1$ give him such a dressing as he has not had 
208:192,22[K  ]| this many a day.  But there is one comfort$0$, my dear$2#1$ 
208:192,23[K  ]| $SS#C$Miss*Marianne; he is not the only young man in$4$ the 
208:192,24[K  ]| world worth having; and with your pretty$2$ face$0$ you 
208:192,25[K  ]| will$1$ never want$1$ admirers.  Well$7$, poor thing!  I won't 
208:192,26[K  ]| disturb her any longer, for$3$ she had better have her cry$1$ 
208:192,27[K  ]| out$5$ at once and have done with it.  The $SS#ZU$Parrys and 
208:192,28[K  ]| $SS#ZZB$Sandersons luckily are coming to-night you know, and 
208:192,29[K  ]| that$6#2$ will$1$ amuse her." 
208:192,30['  ]| She then went away, walking on$4$ tiptoe out$5$ of the 
208:192,31['  ]| room, as if she supposed her young friend's affliction 
208:192,32['  ]| could be increased by$4$ noise. 
208:192,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, to$4$ the surprise$0$ of her sister, determined on$4$ 
208:192,34['  ]| dining with them.  $SS#A$Elinor even$5$ advised her against it. 
208:193,01['  ]| But 
208:193,01[C  ]| "no$7$, she would go down$5$; she could bear$1$ it very 
208:193,02[C  ]| well$5$, and the bustle$0$ about$4$ her would be less." 
208:193,02['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, 
208:193,03['  ]| pleased to$9$ have her governed for$4$ a moment by$4$ such 
208:193,04['  ]| a motive, though believing it hardly possible that$3$ she 
208:193,05['  ]| could sit out$5$ the dinner, said no$2$ more; and adjusting 
208:193,06['  ]| her dress$0$ for$4$ her as well$5$ as she could, while$3$ $SS#C$Marianne 
208:193,07['  ]| still$5$ remained on$4$ the bed, was ready to$9$ assist her into 
208:193,08['  ]| the dining*room as soon as they were summoned to$4$ it. 
208:193,09['  ]| When there, though looking most wretchedly, she ate 
208:193,10['  ]| more and was calmer than her sister had expected. 
208:193,11['  ]| Had she tried to$9$ speak, or had she been conscious of 
208:193,12['  ]| half $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's well-meant but ill-judged attentions 
208:193,13['  ]| to$4$ her, this calmness could not have been maintained; 
208:193,14['  ]| but not a syllable escaped her lips, and the abstraction 
208:193,15['  ]| of her thoughts preserved her in$4$ ignorance of every*thing 
208:193,16['  ]| that$6#1$ was passing before$4$ her. 
208:193,17['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ did justice to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's kindness, 
208:193,18['  ]| though its effusions were often distressing, and sometimes 
208:193,19['  ]| almost ridiculous, made her those acknowledgments, 
208:193,20['  ]| and returned her those civilities, which$6#1$ her sister 
208:193,21['  ]| could not make$1$ or return$1$ for$4$ herself.  Their good friend 
208:193,22['  ]| saw that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was unhappy, and felt that$3$ every*thing 
208:193,23['  ]| was due$2$ to$4$ her which$6#1$ might make$1$ her at all less 
208:193,24['  ]| so$5#2$.  She treated her therefore, with all the indulgent 
208:193,25['  ]| fondness of a parent towards a favourite$2$ child on$4$ the 
208:193,26['  ]| last$2$ day of its holidays.  $SS#C$Marianne was to$9$ have the best 
208:193,27['  ]| place$0$ by$4$ the fire$0$, was to$9$ be tempted to$9$ eat by$4$ every 
208:193,28['  ]| delicacy in$4$ the house, and to$9$ be amused by$4$ the relation 
208:193,29['  ]| of all the news of the day.  Had not $SS#A$Elinor, in$4$ the sad 
208:193,30['  ]| countenance of her sister, seen a check$0$ to$4$ all mirth, 
208:193,31['  ]| she could have been entertained by$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
208:193,32['  ]| endeavours$0$ to$9$ cure$1$ a disappointment in$4$ love$0$, by$4$ a variety 
208:193,33['  ]| of sweetmeats and olives, and a good fire$0$.  As soon, 
208:193,34['  ]| however, as the consciousness of all this was forced by$4$ 
208:193,35['  ]| continual repetition on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, she could stay$1$ no$2$ 
208:193,36['  ]| longer.  With an hasty exclamation of 
208:193,36[C  ]| Misery, 
208:193,36['  ]| and 
208:193,37['  ]| a sign to$4$ her sister not to$9$ follow her, she directly got 
208:193,38['  ]| up$5$ and hurried out$5$ of the room. 
208:194,01[K  ]| "Poor soul!" 
208:194,01['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, as soon as she 
208:194,02['  ]| was gone, 
208:194,02[K  ]| "how it grieves me to$9$ see her!  And I declare 
208:194,03[K  ]| if she is not gone away without finishing her wine! 
208:194,04[K  ]| And the dried cherries too$5#2$!  Lord$7$!  nothing seems to$9$ 
208:194,05[K  ]| do her any good.  I am sure if I knew any*thing she 
208:194,06[K  ]| would like$1$, I would send all over the town for$4$ it.  Well$7$, 
208:194,07[K  ]| it is the oddest thing to$4$ me, that$3$ a man should use$1$ such 
208:194,08[K  ]| a pretty$2$ girl so$5#1$ ill!  But when there is plenty of money 
208:194,09[K  ]| on$4$ one side$0$, and next to$4$ none on$4$ the other, Lord$7$ bless 
208:194,10[K  ]| you! they care$1$ no$2$ more about$4$ such things! ~~" 
208:194,11[A  ]| "The lady then ~~ $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey I think you called her ~~ 
208:194,12[A  ]| is very rich?" 
208:194,13[K  ]| "Fifty thousand pounds, my dear$2#1$.  Did you ever see 
208:194,14[K  ]| her? a smart, stilish girl they say, but not handsome. 
208:194,15[K  ]| I remember her aunt very well$5$, $SS#ZS$Biddy*Henshawe; she 
208:194,16[K  ]| married a very wealthy man.  But the family are all 
208:194,17[K  ]| rich together.  Fifty thousand pounds!  and by$4$ all 
208:194,18[K  ]| accounts it wo'nt come before$3$ it's wanted; for$3$ they 
208:194,19[K  ]| say he is all to$4$ pieces.  No$2$ wonder$0$! dashing about$5$ with 
208:194,20[K  ]| his curricle and hunters!  Well$7$, it don't signify talking, 
208:194,21[K  ]| but when a young man, be he who$6#1$ he will$1$, comes and 
208:194,22[K  ]| makes love$0$ to$4$ a pretty$2$ girl, and promises$1$ marriage, he 
208:194,23[K  ]| has no$2$ business to$9$ fly$1$ off from his word only because 
208:194,24[K  ]| he grows poor, and a richer girl is ready to$9$ have him. 
208:194,25[K  ]| Why don't he, in$4$ such a case, sell his horses, let his 
208:194,26[K  ]| house, turn$1$ off his servants, and make$1$ a thorough reform$0$ 
208:194,27[K  ]| at once?  I warrant you, $SS#C$Miss*Marianne would have 
208:194,28[K  ]| been ready to$9$ wait till matters came round$5$.  But that$6#2$ 
208:194,29[K  ]| won't do, now-a-days; nothing in$4$ the way of pleasure 
208:194,30[K  ]| can ever be given up$5$ by$4$ the young men of this age." 
208:194,31[A  ]| "Do you know what kind$0$ of a girl $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey is? 
208:194,32[A  ]| Is she said to$9$ be amiable?" 
208:194,33[K  ]| "I never heard any harm$0$ of her; indeed I hardly 
208:194,34[K  ]| ever heard her mentioned; except that$3$ $SS#ZZH$Mrs%*Taylor did 
208:194,35[K  ]| say this morning, that$3$ one day $SS#ZZI$Miss*Walker hinted to$4$ 
208:194,36[K  ]| her, that$3$ she believed $SS#ZM$Mr% and $SS#ZM$Mrs%*Ellison would not 
208:194,37[K  ]| be sorry to$9$ have $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey married, for$3$ she and $SS#ZM$Mrs%*Ellison 
208:194,38[K  ]| could never agree." ~~ 
208:195,01[A  ]| "And who$6#2$ are the $SS#ZM$Ellisons?" 
208:195,02[K  ]| "Her guardians, my dear$2#1$.  But now she is of age 
208:195,03[K  ]| and may$1$ choose for$4$ herself; and a pretty$2$ choice$0$ she has 
208:195,04[K  ]| made!  What now," 
208:195,04['  ]| after$4$ pausing a moment ~~ 
208:195,04[K  ]| "your 
208:195,05[K  ]| poor sister is gone to$4$ her own$2$ room I suppose to$9$ moan 
208:195,06[K  ]| by$4$ herself.  Is there nothing one can get to$9$ comfort$1$ her? 
208:195,07[K  ]| Poor dear$2#1$, it seems quite cruel to$9$ let her be alone.  Well$7$, 
208:195,08[K  ]| by-and-by we shall have a few friends, and that$6#2$ will$1$ amuse 
208:195,09[K  ]| her a little.  What shall we play$1$ at?  She hates whist 
208:195,10[K  ]| I know; but is there no$2$ round$2$ game she cares$1$ for$4$?" 
208:195,11[A  ]| "Dear$2#1$ Ma'am, this kindness is quite unnecessary. 
208:195,12[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne I dare$1#2$ say will$1$ not leave$1$ her room again this 
208:195,13[A  ]| evening.  I shall persuade her if I can to$9$ go early to$4$ 
208:195,14[A  ]| bed, for$3$ I am sure she wants$1$ rest$0#2$." 
208:195,15[K  ]| "Aye, I believe that$6#2$ will$1$ be best for$4$ her.  Let her 
208:195,16[K  ]| name$1$ her own$2$ supper, and go to$4$ bed.  Lord$7$! no$2$ wonder$0$ 
208:195,17[K  ]| she has been looking so$5#1$ bad and so$5#1$ cast down$5$ this last$2$ 
208:195,18[K  ]| week or two, for$3$ this matter I suppose has been hanging 
208:195,19[K  ]| over her head$0$ as long as that$6#2$.  And so$3$ the letter that$6#1$ 
208:195,20[K  ]| came to-day finished it!  Poor soul!  I am sure if I had 
208:195,21[K  ]| had a notion of it, I would not have joked her about$4$ 
208:195,22[K  ]| it for$4$ all my money.  But then you know, how should 
208:195,23[K  ]| I guess$1$ such a thing?  I made sure of its being$1$ nothing 
208:195,24[K  ]| but a common$2$ love$0$ letter, and you know young people 
208:195,25[K  ]| like$1$ to$9$ be laughed at about$4$ them.  Lord$7$!  how concerned 
208:195,26[K  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John and my daughters will$1$ be when they 
208:195,27[K  ]| hear it!  If I had had my senses about$4$ me I might 
208:195,28[K  ]| have called in$4$ Conduit-street in$4$ my way home, and told 
208:195,29[K  ]| them of it.  But I shall see them to-morrow." 
208:195,30[A  ]| "It would be unnecessary I am sure, for$4$ you to$9$ 
208:195,31[A  ]| caution$1$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer and $SS#L$Sir*John against ever naming 
208:195,32[A  ]| $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, or making the slightest allusion to$4$ what 
208:195,33[A  ]| has passed, before$4$ my sister.  Their own$2$ good-nature 
208:195,34[A  ]| must point$1$ out$5$ to$4$ them the real cruelty of appearing 
208:195,35[A  ]| to$9$ know any*thing about$4$ it when she is present$5$; and 
208:195,36[A  ]| the less that$6#1$ may$1$ ever be said to$4$ myself on$4$ the subject$0$, 
208:195,37[A  ]| the more my feelings will$1$ be spared, as you my dear$2#1$ 
208:195,38[A  ]| madam will$1$ easily believe." 
208:196,01[K  ]| "Oh!  Lord$7$!  yes, that$6#2$ I do indeed.  It must be 
208:196,02[K  ]| terrible for$4$ you to$9$ hear it talked of; and as for$4$ your 
208:196,03[K  ]| sister, I am sure I would not mention$1$ a word about$4$ it 
208:196,04[K  ]| to$4$ her for$4$ the world.  You saw I did not all dinner time. 
208:196,05[K  ]| No$2$ more would $SS#L$Sir*John nor my daughters, for$3$ they are 
208:196,06[K  ]| all very thoughtful and considerate; especially if I give 
208:196,07[K  ]| them a hint$0$, as I certainly will$1$.  For$4$ my part$0$, I think 
208:196,08[K  ]| the less that$6#1$ is said about$4$ such things, the better, the 
208:196,09[K  ]| sooner 'tis blown over and forgot.  And what good does 
208:196,10[K  ]| talking ever do you know?" 
208:196,11[A  ]| "In$4$ this affair it can only do harm$0$; more so$5#2$ perhaps 
208:196,12[A  ]| than in$4$ many cases of a similar kind$0$, for$3$ it has been 
208:196,13[A  ]| attended by$4$ circumstances which$6#1$, for$4$ the sake of every*one 
208:196,14[A  ]| concerned in$4$ it, make$1$ it unfit to$9$ become the public$2$ 
208:196,15[A  ]| conversation.  I must do \this\ justice to$4$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby 
208:196,16[A  ]| ~~ he has broken no$2$ positive engagement with my sister." 
208:196,17[K  ]| "Law, my dear$2#1$!  Don't pretend to$9$ defend him.  No$2$ 
208:196,18[K  ]| positive engagement indeed!  after$4$ taking her all over 
208:196,19[K  ]| Allenham*House, and fixing on$4$ the very rooms they 
208:196,20[K  ]| were to$9$ live in$4$ hereafter!" 
208:196,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, for$4$ her sister's sake, could not press$1$ the subject$0$ 
208:196,22['  ]| farther, and she hoped it was not required of her for$4$ 
208:196,23['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby's; since, though $SS#C$Marianne might lose much, 
208:196,24['  ]| he could gain$1$ very little by$4$ the inforcement of the real 
208:196,25['  ]| truth.  After$4$ a short silence$0$ on$4$ both sides, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
208:196,26['  ]| with all her natural$2$ hilarity, burst$1$ forth again. 
208:196,27[K  ]| "Well$7$, my dear$2#1$, 'tis a true saying about$4$ an ill wind, 
208:196,28[K  ]| for$3$ it will$1$ be all the better for$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon.  He 
208:196,29[K  ]| will$1$ have her at last$0$; aye, that$6#2$ he will$1$.  Mind$1$ me, now, 
208:196,30[K  ]| if they an't married by$4$ Midsummer.  Lord$7$!  how he'll 
208:196,31[K  ]| chuckle over this news!  I hope$1$ he will$1$ come to-night. 
208:196,32[K  ]| It will$1$ be all to$4$ one a better match$0$ for$4$ your sister.  Two 
208:196,33[K  ]| thousand a year without debt or drawback ~~ except the 
208:196,34[K  ]| little love-child, indeed; aye, I had forgot her; but 
208:196,35[K  ]| she may$1$ be 'prenticed out$5$ at small cost$0$, and then what 
208:196,36[K  ]| does it signify?  Delaford is a nice place$0$, I can tell you; 
208:196,37[K  ]| exactly what I call$1$ a nice old*fashioned place$0$, full of 
208:196,38[K  ]| comforts and conveniences; quite shut in$5$ with great 
208:197,01[K  ]| garden walls that$6#1$ are covered with the best fruit-trees 
208:197,02[K  ]| in$4$ the country:  and such a mulberry tree in$4$ one corner! 
208:197,03[K  ]| Lord$7$!  how $SS#O$Charlotte and I did stuff the only time we 
208:197,04[K  ]| were there!  Then, there is a dove-cote, some delightful 
208:197,05[K  ]| stewponds, and a very pretty$2$ canal; and every*thing, 
208:197,06[K  ]| in$4$ short, that$6#1$ one could wish$1$ for$4$:  and, moreover, it is 
208:197,07[K  ]| close$5$ to$4$ the church, and only a quarter$0#1$ of a mile from 
208:197,08[K  ]| the turnpike-road, so$3$ 'tis never dull, for$3$ if you only go 
208:197,09[K  ]| and sit up$5$ in$4$ an old yew arbour behind the house, you 
208:197,10[K  ]| may$1$ see all the carriages that$6#1$ pass$1$ along$5$.  Oh!  'tis 
208:197,11[K  ]| a nice place$0$!  A butcher hard by$5$ in$4$ the village, and 
208:197,12[K  ]| the parsonage-house within a stone's throw$0$.  To$4$ my 
208:197,13[K  ]| fancy$0$, a thousand times prettier than Barton*Park, 
208:197,14[K  ]| where they are forced to$9$ send three miles for$4$ their meat, 
208:197,15[K  ]| and have not a neighbour nearer than your mother. 
208:197,16[K  ]| Well$7$, I shall spirit up$5$ the $SS#H$Colonel as soon as I can. 
208:197,17[K  ]| One shoulder of mutton, you know, drives another down$5$. 
208:197,18[K  ]| If we \can\ but put $SS#R$Willoughby out$5$ of her head$0$!" 
208:197,19[A  ]| "Aye, if we can but do \that$6#2$\, Ma'am," 
208:197,19['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
208:197,20[A  ]| "we shall do very well$5$ with or without $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon." 
208:197,21['  ]| And then rising, she went away to$9$ join $SS#C$Marianne, whom$6#1$ 
208:197,22['  ]| she found, as she expected, in$4$ her own$2$ room, leaning, 
208:197,23['  ]| in$4$ silent misery, over the small remains$0$ of a fire$0$, which$6#1$, 
208:197,24['  ]| till $SS#A$Elinor's entrance, had been her only light$0$. 
208:197,25[C  ]| "You had better leave$1$ me," 
208:197,25['  ]| was all the notice$0$ that$6#1$ 
208:197,26['  ]| her sister received from her." 
208:197,27[A  ]| "I will$1$ leave$1$ you," 
208:197,27['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
208:197,27[A  ]| "if you will$1$ go to$4$ 
208:197,28[A  ]| bed." 
208:197,28['  ]| But this, from the momentary perverseness of 
208:197,29['  ]| impatient suffering, she at first refused to$9$ do.  Her 
208:197,30['  ]| sister's earnest, though gentle persuasion, however, soon 
208:197,31['  ]| softened her to$4$ compliance, and $SS#A$Elinor saw her lay$1#1$ her 
208:197,32['  ]| aching head$0$ on$4$ the pillow, and saw her, as she hoped, 
208:197,33['  ]| in$4$ a way to$9$ get some quiet$2$ rest$0#2$ before$3$ she left her. 
208:197,34['  ]| In$4$ the drawing-room, whither she then repaired, she 
208:197,35['  ]| was soon joined by$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, with a wine-glass, 
208:197,36['  ]| full of something, in$4$ her hand$0$. 
208:197,37[K  ]| "My dear$2#1$," 
208:197,37['  ]| said she, entering, 
208:197,37[K  ]| "I have just$5$ recollected 
208:197,38[K  ]| that$3$ I have some of the finest old Constantia wine in$4$ 
208:198,01[K  ]| the house, that$6#1$ ever was tasted, so$3$ I have brought 
208:198,02[K  ]| a glass of it for$4$ your sister.  My poor husband! how 
208:198,03[K  ]| fond he was of it!  Whenever he had a touch$0$ of his 
208:198,04[K  ]| old cholicky gout, he said it did him more good than 
208:198,05[K  ]| any*thing else in$4$ the world.  Do take it to$4$ your sister." 
208:198,06[A  ]| "Dear$2#1$ Ma'am," 
208:198,06['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, smiling at the difference 
208:198,07['  ]| of the complaints for$4$ which$6#1$ it was recommended, 
208:198,08[A  ]| "how good you are!  But I have just$5$ left $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ 
208:198,09[A  ]| bed, and, I hope$1$, almost asleep; and as I think nothing 
208:198,10[A  ]| will$1$ be of so$5#1$ much service to$4$ her as rest$0#2$, if you will$1$ 
208:198,11[A  ]| give me leave$0$, I will$1$ drink the wine myself." 
208:198,12['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, though regretting that$3$ she had not 
208:198,13['  ]| been five minutes earlier, was satisfied with the compromise; 
208:198,14['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor, as she swallowed the chief of it, 
208:198,15['  ]| reflected that$3$, though its good effects on$4$ a cholicky gout 
208:198,16['  ]| were, at present$0#1$, of little importance to$4$ her, its healing 
208:198,17['  ]| powers on$4$ a disappointed heart might be as reasonably 
208:198,18['  ]| tried on$4$ herself as on$4$ her sister. 
208:198,19['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon came in$5$ while$3$ the party were at 
208:198,20['  ]| tea, and by$4$ his manner of looking round$4$ the room for$4$ 
208:198,21['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, $SS#A$Elinor immediately fancied that$3$ he neither 
208:198,22['  ]| expected, nor wished to$9$ see her there, and, in$4$ short, 
208:198,23['  ]| that$3$ he was already aware of what occasioned her 
208:198,24['  ]| absence.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was not struck by$4$ the same 
208:198,25['  ]| thought$0$; for$3$, soon after$4$ his entrance, she walked across$4$ 
208:198,26['  ]| the room to$4$ the tea-table where $SS#A$Elinor presided, and 
208:198,27['  ]| whispered ~~ 
208:198,27[K  ]| "The $SS#H$Colonel looks$1$ as grave$2$ as ever you 
208:198,28[K  ]| see.  He knows nothing of it; do tell him, my dear$2#1$." 
208:198,29['  ]| He shortly afterwards drew a chair close$5$ to$4$ her's, and, 
208:198,30['  ]| with a look$0$ which$6#1$ perfectly assured her of his good 
208:198,31['  ]| information, inquired after$4$ her sister. 
208:198,32[A  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne is not well$5$," 
208:198,32['  ]| said she. 
208:198,32[A  ]| "She has been 
208:198,33[A  ]| indisposed all day, and we have persuaded her to$9$ go 
208:198,34[A  ]| to$4$ bed." 
208:198,35[H  ]| "Perhaps, then," 
208:198,35['  ]| he hesitatingly replied, 
208:198,35[H  ]| "what I 
208:198,36[H  ]| heard this morning may$1$ be ~~ there may$1$ be more truth 
208:198,37[H  ]| in$4$ it than I could believe possible at first." 
208:198,38[A  ]| "What did you hear?" 
208:199,01[H  ]| "That$3$ a gentleman, whom$6#1$ I had reason$0$ to$9$ think ~~ in$4$ 
208:199,02[H  ]| short, that$3$ a man, whom$6#1$ I \knew\ to$9$ be engaged ~~ but 
208:199,03[H  ]| how shall I tell you?  If you know it already, as surely 
208:199,04[H  ]| you must, I may$1$ be spared." 
208:199,05[A  ]| "You mean$1$," 
208:199,05['  ]| answered $SS#A$Elinor, with forced calmness, 
208:199,06[A  ]| "$SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby's marriage with $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey.  Yes, we 
208:199,07[A  ]| \do\ know it all.  This seems to$9$ have been a day of general$2$ 
208:199,08[A  ]| elucidation, for$3$ this very morning first unfolded it to$4$ 
208:199,09[A  ]| us.  $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby is unfathomable!  Where did you 
208:199,10[A  ]| hear it?" 
208:199,11[H  ]| "In$4$ a stationer's shop in$4$ Pall*Mall, where I had 
208:199,12[H  ]| business.  Two ladies were waiting for$4$ their carriage, 
208:199,13[H  ]| and one of them was giving the other an account$0$ of the 
208:199,14[H  ]| intended match$0$, in$4$ a voice so$5#1$ little attempting concealment, 
208:199,15[H  ]| that$3$ it was impossible for$4$ me not to$9$ hear all. 
208:199,16[H  ]| The name$0$ of $SS#R$Willoughby, $SS#R$John*Willoughby, frequently 
208:199,17[H  ]| repeated, first caught my attention, and what followed 
208:199,18[H  ]| was a positive assertion that$3$ every*thing was now finally 
208:199,19[H  ]| settled respecting his marriage with $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey ~~ it was 
208:199,20[H  ]| no$2$ longer to$9$ be a secret$0$ ~~ it would take place$0$ even$5$ within 
208:199,21[H  ]| a few weeks, with many particulars of preparations and 
208:199,22[H  ]| other matters.  One thing, especially, I remember, 
208:199,23[H  ]| because it served to$9$ identify the man still$5$ more: ~~ as 
208:199,24[H  ]| soon as the ceremony was over, they were to$9$ go to$4$ 
208:199,25[H  ]| Combe*Magna, his seat in$4$ Somersetshire.  My astonishment! ~~ 
208:199,26[H  ]| but it would be impossible to$9$ describe what 
208:199,27[H  ]| I felt.  The communicative lady I learnt, on$4$ inquiry, 
208:199,28[H  ]| for$3$ I staid in$4$ the shop till they were gone, was a $SS#ZM$Mrs%*Ellison, 
208:199,29[H  ]| and that$3$, as I have been since informed, is the 
208:199,30[H  ]| name$0$ of $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey's guardian." 
208:199,31[A  ]| "It is.  But have you likewise heard that$3$ $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey 
208:199,32[A  ]| has fifty thousand pounds?  In$4$ that$6#2$, if in$4$ any*thing, 
208:199,33[A  ]| we may$1$ find an explanation." 
208:199,34[H  ]| "It may$1$ be so$5#2$; but $SS#R$Willoughby is capable ~~ at least 
208:199,35[H  ]| I think" ~~ 
208:199,35['  ]| he stopped a moment; then added in$4$ a voice 
208:199,36['  ]| which$6#1$ seemed to$9$ distrust$1$ itself, 
208:199,36[H  ]| "And your sister ~~ how 
208:199,37[H  ]| did she ~~" 
208:199,38[A  ]| "Her sufferings have been very severe.  I have only 
208:200,01[A  ]| to$9$ hope$1$ that$3$ they may$1$ be proportionably short.  It has 
208:200,02[A  ]| been, it is a most cruel affliction.  Till yesterday, I 
208:200,03[A  ]| believe, she never doubted his regard$0$; and even$5$ now, 
208:200,04[A  ]| perhaps ~~ But \I\ am almost convinced that$3$ he never was 
208:200,05[A  ]| really attached to$4$ her.  He has been very deceitful! 
208:200,06[A  ]| and, in$4$ some points, there seems a hardness of heart 
208:200,07[A  ]| about$4$ him." 
208:200,08[H  ]| "Ah!" 
208:200,08['  ]| said $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
208:200,08[H  ]| "there is, indeed! 
208:200,09[H  ]| But your sister does not ~~ I think you said so$5#2$ ~~ she does 
208:200,10[H  ]| not consider it quite as you do?" 
208:200,11[A  ]| "You know her disposition, and may$1$ believe how 
208:200,12[A  ]| eagerly she would still$5$ justify him if she could." 
208:200,13['  ]| He made no$2$ answer$0$; and soon afterwards, by$4$ the 
208:200,14['  ]| removal of the tea-things, and the arrangement of the 
208:200,15['  ]| card*parties, the subject$0$ was necessarily dropped. 
208:200,16['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, who$6#1$ had watched them with pleasure 
208:200,17['  ]| while$3$ they were talking, and who$6#1$ expected to$9$ see the 
208:200,18['  ]| effect$0$ of $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood's communication, in$4$ such an 
208:200,19['  ]| instantaneous gaiety on$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's side$0$, as might 
208:200,20['  ]| have become a man in$4$ the bloom of youth, of hope$0$ and 
208:200,21['  ]| happiness, saw him, with amazement, remain the whole$2$ 
208:200,22['  ]| evening more serious$2$ and thoughtful than usual. 
209:201,01['  ]| From a night of more sleep$0$ than she had expected, 
209:201,02['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne awoke the next morning to$4$ the same consciousness 
209:201,03['  ]| of misery in$4$ which$6#1$ she had closed her eyes. 
209:201,04['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor encouraged her as much as possible to$9$ talk$1$ 
209:201,05['  ]| of what she felt; and before$3$ breakfast$0$ was ready, they 
209:201,06['  ]| had gone through$4$ the subject$0$ again and again; with 
209:201,07['  ]| the same steady conviction and affectionate counsel$0$ on$4$ 
209:201,08['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's side$0$, the same impetuous feelings and varying 
209:201,09['  ]| opinions on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's, as before$5$.  Sometimes she could 
209:201,10['  ]| believe $SS#R$Willoughby to$9$ be as unfortunate and as innocent 
209:201,11['  ]| as herself, and at others, lost every consolation in$4$ the 
209:201,12['  ]| impossibility of acquitting him.  At one moment she 
209:201,13['  ]| was absolutely indifferent to$4$ the observation of all the 
209:201,14['  ]| world, at another she would seclude herself from it for*ever, 
209:201,15['  ]| and at a third could resist it with energy.  In$4$ one 
209:201,16['  ]| thing, however, she was uniform, when it came to$4$ the 
209:201,17['  ]| point$0$, in$4$ avoiding, where it was possible, the presence 
209:201,18['  ]| of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, and in$4$ a determined silence$0$ when 
209:201,19['  ]| obliged to$9$ endure it.  Her heart was hardened against 
209:201,20['  ]| the belief of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's entering into her sorrows 
209:201,21['  ]| with any compassion. 
209:201,22[C  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, no$7$, it cannot be," 
209:201,22['  ]| she cried; 
209:201,22[C  ]| "she cannot 
209:201,23[C  ]| feel.  Her kindness is not sympathy; her good*nature 
209:201,24[C  ]| is not tenderness.  All that$6#1$ she wants$1$ is gossip, and she 
209:201,25[C  ]| only likes me now because I supply$1$ it." 
209:201,26['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had not needed this to$9$ be assured of the 
209:201,27['  ]| injustice to$4$ which$6#1$ her sister was often led in$4$ her opinion 
209:201,28['  ]| of others, by$4$ the irritable refinement of her own$2$ mind$0$, 
209:201,29['  ]| and the too$5#1$ great importance placed by$4$ her on$4$ the 
209:201,30['  ]| delicacies of a strong sensibility, and the graces of 
209:201,31['  ]| a polished manner.  Like$4$ half the rest$0#1$ of the world, if 
209:201,32['  ]| more than half there be that$6#1$ are clever and good, 
209:201,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, with excellent abilities and an excellent 
209:202,01['  ]| disposition, was neither reasonable nor candid.  She 
209:202,02['  ]| expected from other people the same opinions and 
209:202,03['  ]| feelings as her own$2$, and she judged of their motives by$4$ 
209:202,04['  ]| the immediate effect$0$ of their actions on$4$ herself.  Thus 
209:202,05['  ]| a circumstance occurred, while$3$ the sisters were together 
209:202,06['  ]| in$4$ their own$2$ room after$4$ breakfast$0$, which$6#1$ sunk the heart 
209:202,07['  ]| of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings still$5$ lower$2$ in$4$ her estimation; because, 
209:202,08['  ]| through$4$ her own$2$ weakness, it chanced to$9$ prove a source 
209:202,09['  ]| of fresh pain$0$ to$4$ herself, though $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was 
209:202,10['  ]| governed in$4$ it by$4$ an impulse of the utmost good-will. 
209:202,11['  ]| With a letter in$4$ her out-stretched hand$0$, and countenance 
209:202,12['  ]| gaily smiling, from the persuasion of bringing 
209:202,13['  ]| comfort$0$, she entered their room, saying, 
209:202,14[K  ]| "Now, my dear$2#1$, I bring you something that$6#1$ I am 
209:202,15[K  ]| sure will$1$ do you good." 
209:202,16['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne heard enough.  In$4$ one moment her imagination 
209:202,17['  ]| placed before$4$ her a letter from $SS#R$Willoughby, full of 
209:202,18['  ]| tenderness and contrition, explanatory of all that$6#1$ had 
209:202,19['  ]| passed, satisfactory, convincing; and instantly followed 
209:202,20['  ]| by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby himself, rushing eagerly into the room 
209:202,21['  ]| to$9$ inforce, at her feet, by$4$ the eloquence of his eyes, the 
209:202,22['  ]| assurances of his letter.  The work$0$ of one moment was 
209:202,23['  ]| destroyed by$4$ the next.  The hand*writing of her mother, 
209:202,24['  ]| never till then unwelcome, was before$4$ her; and, in$4$ the 
209:202,25['  ]| acuteness of the disappointment which$6#1$ followed such an 
209:202,26['  ]| extasy of more than hope$0$, she felt as if, till that$6#2$ instant$0$, 
209:202,27['  ]| she had never suffered. 
209:202,28['  ]| The cruelty of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings no$2$ language, within her 
209:202,29['  ]| reach$0$ in$4$ her moments of happiest eloquence, could have 
209:202,30['  ]| expressed; and now she could reproach$1$ her only by$4$ the 
209:202,31['  ]| tears which$6#1$ streamed from her eyes with passionate 
209:202,32['  ]| violence ~~ a reproach$0$, however, so$5#1$ entirely lost on$4$ its 
209:202,33['  ]| object$0$, that$3$ after$4$ many expressions of pity$0$, she withdrew, 
209:202,34['  ]| still$5$ referring her to$4$ the letter for$4$ comfort$0$.  But 
209:202,35['  ]| the letter, when she was calm$2$ enough to$9$ read it, brought 
209:202,36['  ]| little comfort$0$.  $SS#R$Willoughby filled every page.  Her 
209:202,37['  ]| mother, still$5$ confident of their engagement, and relying 
209:202,38['  ]| as warmly as ever on$4$ his constancy, had only been 
209:203,01['  ]| roused by$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's application, to$9$ intreat from $SS#C$Marianne 
209:203,02['  ]| greater openness towards them both; and this, with 
209:203,03['  ]| such tenderness towards her, such affection for$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, 
209:203,04['  ]| and such a conviction of their future happiness 
209:203,05['  ]| in$4$ each other, that$3$ she wept with agony through$4$ the 
209:203,06['  ]| whole$0$ of it. 
209:203,07['  ]| All her impatience to$9$ be at home again now returned; 
209:203,08['  ]| her mother was dearer to$4$ her than ever; dearer through$4$ 
209:203,09['  ]| the very excess of her mistaken confidence in$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, 
209:203,10['  ]| and she was wildly urgent to$9$ be gone.  $SS#A$Elinor, unable 
209:203,11['  ]| herself to$9$ determine whether it were better for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne 
209:203,12['  ]| to$9$ be in$4$ London or at Barton, offered no$2$ counsel$0$ of her 
209:203,13['  ]| own$2$ except of patience till their mother's wishes$0$ could 
209:203,14['  ]| be known; and at length she obtained her sister's consent$0$ 
209:203,15['  ]| to$9$ wait for$4$ that$6#2$ knowledge. 
209:203,16['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings left them earlier than usual; for$3$ she 
209:203,17['  ]| could not be easy till the $SS#L1$Middletons and $SS#N1$Palmers were 
209:203,18['  ]| able to$9$ grieve as much as herself; and positively refusing 
209:203,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's offered attendance, went out$5$ alone for$4$ the rest$0#1$ 
209:203,20['  ]| of the morning.  $SS#A$Elinor, with a very heavy heart, aware 
209:203,21['  ]| of the pain$0$ she was going to$9$ communicate, and perceiving 
209:203,22['  ]| by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's letter how ill she had succeeded 
209:203,23['  ]| in$4$ laying any foundation for$4$ it, then sat down$5$ to$9$ write 
209:203,24['  ]| her mother an account$0$ of what had passed, and intreat 
209:203,25['  ]| her directions for$4$ the future; while$3$ $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ came 
209:203,26['  ]| into the drawing-room on$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's going away, 
209:203,27['  ]| remained fixed at the table where $SS#A$Elinor wrote, watching 
209:203,28['  ]| the advancement of her pen, grieving over her for$4$ the 
209:203,29['  ]| hardship of such a task, and grieving still$5$ more fondly 
209:203,30['  ]| over its effect$0$ on$4$ her mother. 
209:203,31['  ]| In$4$ this manner they had continued about$4$ a quarter$0#1$ 
209:203,32['  ]| of an hour, when $SS#C$Marianne, whose$6#1$ nerves could not then 
209:203,33['  ]| bear$1$ any sudden$2$ noise, was startled by$4$ a rap at the door. 
209:203,34[A  ]| "Who$6#2$ can this be?" 
209:203,34['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor. 
209:203,34[A  ]| "So$5#1$ early too$5#2$! 
209:203,35[A  ]| I thought$1$ we \had\ been safe." 
209:203,36['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne moved to$4$ the window ~~ 
209:203,37[C  ]| "It is $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon!" 
209:203,37['  ]| said she, with vexation. 
209:203,38[C  ]| "We are never safe from \him\." 
209:204,01[A  ]| "He will$1$ not come in$5$, as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings is from home." 
209:204,02[C  ]| "I will$1$ not trust$1$ to$4$ \that$6#2$\," 
209:204,02['  ]| retreating to$4$ her own$2$ room. 
209:204,03[C  ]| "A man who$6#1$ has nothing to$9$ do with his own$2$ time has 
209:204,04[C  ]| no$2$ conscience in$4$ his intrusion on$4$ that$6#2$ of others." 
209:204,05['  ]| The event proved her conjecture$0$ right$2#1$, though it was 
209:204,06['  ]| founded on$4$ injustice and error; for$3$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
209:204,07['  ]| \did\ come in$5$; and $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ was convinced that$3$ 
209:204,08['  ]| solicitude for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne brought him thither, and who$6#1$ 
209:204,09['  ]| saw \that$6#2$\ solicitude in$4$ his disturbed and melancholy$2$ look$0$, 
209:204,10['  ]| and in$4$ his anxious though brief inquiry after$4$ her, could 
209:204,11['  ]| not forgive her sister for$4$ esteeming him so$5#1$ lightly. 
209:204,12[H  ]| "I met $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings in$4$ Bond-street," 
209:204,12['  ]| said he, after$4$ 
209:204,13['  ]| the first salutation, 
209:204,13[H  ]| "and she encouraged me to$9$ come 
209:204,14[H  ]| on$5$; and I was the more easily encouraged, because 
209:204,15[H  ]| I thought$1$ it probable that$3$ I might find you alone, which$6#1$ 
209:204,16[H  ]| I was very desirous of doing.  My object$0$ ~~ my wish$0$ ~~ 
209:204,17[H  ]| my sole wish$0$ in$4$ desiring it ~~ I hope$1$, I believe it is ~~ is 
209:204,18[H  ]| to$9$ be a means$0$ of giving comfort$0$; ~~ no$7$, I must not say 
209:204,19[H  ]| comfort$0$ ~~ not present$2$ comfort$0$ ~~ but conviction, lasting 
209:204,20[H  ]| conviction to$4$ your sister's mind$0$.  My regard$0$ for$4$ her, for$4$ 
209:204,21[H  ]| yourself, for$4$ your mother ~~ will$1$ you allow me to$9$ prove 
209:204,22[H  ]| it, by$4$ relating some circumstances, which$6#1$ nothing but 
209:204,23[H  ]| a \very\ sincere regard$0$ ~~ nothing but an earnest desire$0$ of 
209:204,24[H  ]| being$1$ useful ~~ I think I am justified ~~ though where 
209:204,25[H  ]| so$5#1$ many hours have been spent in$4$ convincing myself 
209:204,26[H  ]| that$3$ I am right$2#1$, is there not some reason$0$ to$9$ fear$1$ I may$1$ 
209:204,27[H  ]| be wrong?" 
209:204,27['  ]| He stopped. 
209:204,28[A  ]| "I understand you," 
209:204,28['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
209:204,28[A  ]| "You have something 
209:204,29[A  ]| to$9$ tell me of $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, that$6#1$ will$1$ open$1$ his 
209:204,30[A  ]| character farther.  Your telling it will$1$ be the greatest 
209:204,31[A  ]| act$0$ of friendship that$6#1$ can be shewn $SS#C$Marianne.  \My\ 
209:204,32[A  ]| gratitude will$1$ be insured immediately by$4$ any information 
209:204,33[A  ]| tending to$4$ that$6#2$ end$0$, and \her's\ must be gained by$4$ 
209:204,34[A  ]| it in$4$ time.  Pray, pray let me hear it." 
209:204,35[H  ]| "You shall; and, to$9$ be brief, when I quitted Barton 
209:204,36[H  ]| last$2$ October, ~~ but this will$1$ give you no$2$ idea ~~ I must 
209:204,37[H  ]| go farther back$5$.  You will$1$ find me a very awkward 
209:204,38[H  ]| narrator, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood; I hardly know where to$9$ 
209:205,01[H  ]| begin.  A short account$0$ of myself, I believe, will$1$ be 
209:205,02[H  ]| necessary, and it \shall\ be a short one.  On$4$ such a subject$0$," 
209:205,03['  ]| sighing heavily, 
209:205,03[H  ]| "I can have little temptation to$9$ 
209:205,04[H  ]| be diffuse." 
209:205,05['  ]| He stopt a moment for$4$ recollection, and then, with 
209:205,06['  ]| another sigh$0$, went on$5$. 
209:205,07[H  ]| "You have probably entirely forgotten a conversation ~~ 
209:205,08[H  ]| (it is not to$9$ be supposed that$3$ it could make$1$ any 
209:205,09[H  ]| impression on$4$ you) ~~ a conversation between us one 
209:205,10[H  ]| evening at Barton*Park ~~ it was the evening of a dance$0$ ~~ 
209:205,11[H  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ I alluded to$4$ a lady I had once known, as 
209:205,12[H  ]| resembling, in$4$ some measure$0$, your sister $SS#C$Marianne." 
209:205,13[A  ]| "Indeed," 
209:205,13['  ]| answered $SS#A$Elinor, 
209:205,13[A  ]| "I have \not\ forgotten 
209:205,14[A  ]| it." 
209:205,14['  ]| He looked pleased by$4$ this remembrance, and added, 
209:205,15[H  ]| "If I am not deceived by$4$ the uncertainty, the partiality 
209:205,16[H  ]| of tender$2$ recollection, there is a very strong 
209:205,17[H  ]| resemblance between them, as well$5$ in$4$ mind$0$ as person. 
209:205,18[H  ]| The same warmth of heart, the same eagerness of fancy$0$ 
209:205,19[H  ]| and spirits.  This lady was one of my nearest relations, 
209:205,20[H  ]| an orphan from her infancy, and under the guardianship 
209:205,21[H  ]| of my father.  Our ages were nearly the same, and from 
209:205,22[H  ]| our earliest years we were playfellows and friends. 
209:205,23[H  ]| I cannot remember the time when I did not love$1$ $SS#ZB$Eliza; 
209:205,24[H  ]| and my affection for$4$ her, as we grew up$5$, was such, as 
209:205,25[H  ]| perhaps, judging from my present$2$ forlorn and cheerless 
209:205,26[H  ]| gravity, you might think me incapable of having ever 
209:205,27[H  ]| felt.  Her's, for$4$ me, was, I believe, fervent as the attachment 
209:205,28[H  ]| of your sister to$4$ $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, and it was, 
209:205,29[H  ]| though from a different cause, no$2$ less unfortunate.  At 
209:205,30[H  ]| seventeen, she was lost to$4$ me for*ever.  She was married 
209:205,31[H  ]| ~~ married against her inclination to$4$ my brother.  Her 
209:205,32[H  ]| fortune was large, and our family estate much encumbered. 
209:205,33[H  ]| And this, I fear$1$, is all that$6#1$ can be said for$4$ the 
209:205,34[H  ]| conduct$0$ of one, who$6#1$ was at once her uncle and guardian. 
209:205,35[H  ]| My brother did not deserve her; he did not even$5$ love$1$ 
209:205,36[H  ]| her.  I had hoped that$3$ her regard$0$ for$4$ me would support$1$ 
209:205,37[H  ]| her under any difficulty, and for$4$ some time it did; but 
209:205,38[H  ]| at last$0$ the misery of her situation, for$3$ she experienced 
209:206,01[H  ]| great unkindness, overcame all her resolution, and 
209:206,02[H  ]| though she had promised me that$3$ nothing ~~ but how 
209:206,03[H  ]| blindly I relate!  I have never told you how this was 
209:206,04[H  ]| brought on$5$.  We were within a few hours of eloping 
209:206,05[H  ]| together for$4$ Scotland.  The treachery, or the folly, of 
209:206,06[H  ]| my cousin's maid betrayed us.  I was banished to$4$ the 
209:206,07[H  ]| house of a relation far distant, and she was allowed no$2$ 
209:206,08[H  ]| liberty, no$2$ society, no$2$ amusement, till my father's point$0$ 
209:206,09[H  ]| was gained.  I had depended on$4$ her fortitude too$5#1$ far, 
209:206,10[H  ]| and the blow was a severe one ~~ but had her marriage 
209:206,11[H  ]| been happy, so$5#1$ young as I then was, a few months must 
209:206,12[H  ]| have reconciled me to$4$ it, or at least I should not have 
209:206,13[H  ]| now to$9$ lament it.  This however was not the case.  My 
209:206,14[H  ]| brother had no$2$ regard$0$ for$4$ her; his pleasures were not 
209:206,15[H  ]| what they ought to$9$ have been, and from the first he 
209:206,16[H  ]| treated her unkindly.  The consequence of this, upon$4$ 
209:206,17[H  ]| a mind$0$ so$5#1$ young, so$5#1$ lively, so$5#1$ inexperienced as 
$SS#ZB$Mrs%*Brandon's, 
209:206,18[H  ]| was but too$5#1$ natural$2$.  She resigned herself 
209:206,19[H  ]| at first to$4$ all the misery of her situation; and happy 
209:206,20[H  ]| had it been if she had not lived to$9$ overcome those 
209:206,21[H  ]| regrets which$6#1$ the remembrance of me occasioned.  But 
209:206,22[H  ]| can we wonder$1$ that$3$ with such a husband to$9$ provoke 
209:206,23[H  ]| inconstancy, and without a friend to$9$ advise or restrain 
209:206,24[H  ]| her, (for$3$ my father lived only a few months after$4$ their 
209:206,25[H  ]| marriage, and I was with my regiment in$4$ the East*Indies) 
209:206,26[H  ]| she should fall$1$?  Had I remained in$4$ England, 
209:206,27[H  ]| perhaps ~~ but I meant to$9$ promote the happiness of both 
209:206,28[H  ]| by$4$ removing from her for$4$ years, and for$4$ that$6#2$ purpose 
209:206,29[H  ]| had procured my exchange$0$.  The shock$0$ which$6#1$ her 
209:206,30[H  ]| marriage had given me," 
209:206,30['  ]| he continued, in$4$ a voice of 
209:206,31['  ]| great agitation, 
209:206,31[H  ]| "was of trifling weight ~~ was nothing ~~ 
209:206,32[H  ]| to$4$ what I felt when I heard, about$4$ two years afterwards, 
209:206,33[H  ]| of her divorce.  It was \that$6#2$\ which$6#1$ threw this gloom, ~~ 
209:206,34[H  ]| even$5$ now the recollection of what I suffered ~~" 
209:206,35['  ]| He could say no$2$ more, and rising hastily walked for$4$ 
209:206,36['  ]| a few minutes about$4$ the room.  $SS#A$Elinor, affected by$4$ his 
209:206,37['  ]| relation, and still$5$ more by$4$ his distress$0$, could not speak. 
209:206,38['  ]| He saw her concern$0$, and coming to$4$ her, took her hand$0$, 
209:207,01['  ]| pressed it, and kissed it with grateful respect$0$.  A few 
209:207,02['  ]| minutes more of silent exertion enabled him to$9$ proceed 
209:207,03['  ]| with composure. 
209:207,04[H  ]| "It was nearly three years after$4$ this unhappy period 
209:207,05[H  ]| before$3$ I returned to$4$ England.  My first care$0$, when I \did\ 
209:207,06[H  ]| arrive, was of course$8$ to$9$ seek for$4$ her; but the search$0$ 
209:207,07[H  ]| was as fruitless as it was melancholy$2$.  I could not trace 
209:207,08[H  ]| her beyond$4$ her first seducer, and there was every reason$0$ 
209:207,09[H  ]| to$9$ fear$1$ that$3$ she had removed from him only to$9$ sink 
209:207,10[H  ]| deeper in$4$ a life of sin.  Her legal allowance was not 
209:207,11[H  ]| adequate to$4$ her fortune, nor sufficient for$4$ her comfortable 
209:207,12[H  ]| maintenance, and I learnt from my brother, that$3$ 
209:207,13[H  ]| the power of receiving it had been made over some 
209:207,14[H  ]| months before$5$ to$4$ another person.  He imagined, and 
209:207,15[H  ]| calmly could he imagine it, that$3$ her extravagance and 
209:207,16[H  ]| consequent distress$0$ had obliged her to$9$ dispose of it for$4$ 
209:207,17[H  ]| some immediate relief.  At last$0$, however, and after$3$ I had 
209:207,18[H  ]| been six months in$4$ England, I \did\ find her.  Regard$0$ for$4$ 
209:207,19[H  ]| a former servant of my own$2$, who$6#1$ had since fallen into 
209:207,20[H  ]| misfortune, carried me to$9$ visit$1$ him in$4$ a spunging-house, 
209:207,21[H  ]| where he was confined for$4$ debt; and there, in$4$ the same 
209:207,22[H  ]| house, under a similar confinement, was my unfortunate 
209:207,23[H  ]| sister.  So$5#1$ altered ~~ so$5#1$ faded ~~ worn down$5$ by$4$ acute 
209:207,24[H  ]| suffering of every kind$0$!  hardly could I believe the 
209:207,25[H  ]| melancholy$2$ and sickly figure before$4$ me, to$9$ be the remains$0$ 
209:207,26[H  ]| of the lovely, blooming, healthful girl, on$4$ whom$6#1$ I had 
209:207,27[H  ]| once doated.  What I endured in$4$ so$5#2$ beholding her ~~ but 
209:207,28[H  ]| I have no$2$ right$0$ to$9$ wound$1#2$ your feelings by$4$ attempting 
209:207,29[H  ]| to$9$ describe it ~~ I have pained you too$5#1$ much already. 
209:207,30[H  ]| That$3$ she was, to$4$ all appearance, in$4$ the last$2$ stage$0#1$ of 
209:207,31[H  ]| a consumption, was ~~ yes, in$4$ such a situation it was my 
209:207,32[H  ]| greatest comfort$0$.  Life could do nothing for$4$ her, beyond$4$ 
209:207,33[H  ]| giving time for$4$ a better preparation for$4$ death; and that$6#2$ 
209:207,34[H  ]| was given.  I saw her placed in$4$ comfortable lodgings, 
209:207,35[H  ]| and under proper attendants; I visited her every day 
209:207,36[H  ]| during the rest$0#1$ of her short life; I was with her in$4$ her 
209:207,37[H  ]| last$2$ moments." 
209:207,38['  ]| Again he stopped to$9$ recover himself; and $SS#A$Elinor 
209:208,01['  ]| spoke her feelings in$4$ an exclamation of tender$2$ concern$0$, 
209:208,02['  ]| at the fate of his unfortunate friend. 
209:208,03[H  ]| "Your sister, I hope$1$, cannot be offended," 
209:208,03['  ]| said he, 
209:208,04[H  ]| "by$4$ the resemblance I have fancied between her and 
209:208,05[H  ]| my poor disgraced relation.  Their fates, their fortunes 
209:208,06[H  ]| cannot be the same; and had the natural$2$ sweet disposition 
209:208,07[H  ]| of the one been guarded by$4$ a firmer mind$0$, or 
209:208,08[H  ]| an happier marriage, she might have been all that$6#1$ you 
209:208,09[H  ]| will$1$ live to$9$ see the other be.  But to$4$ what does all this 
209:208,10[H  ]| lead$1$?  I seem to$9$ have been distressing you for$4$ nothing. 
209:208,11[H  ]| Ah!  $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood ~~ a subject$0$ such as this ~~ untouched 
209:208,12[H  ]| for$4$ fourteen years ~~ it is dangerous to$9$ handle it at all! 
209:208,13[H  ]| I \will$1$\ be more collected ~~ more concise.  She left to$4$ my 
209:208,14[H  ]| care$0$ her only child, a little girl, the offspring of her first 
209:208,15[H  ]| guilty connection, who$6#1$ was then about$4$ three years old. 
209:208,16[H  ]| She loved the child, and had always kept it with her. 
209:208,17[H  ]| It was a valued, a precious trust$0$ to$4$ me; and gladly 
209:208,18[H  ]| would I have discharged it in$4$ the strictest sense, by$4$ 
209:208,19[H  ]| watching over her education myself, had the nature of 
209:208,20[H  ]| our situations allowed it; but I had no$2$ family, no$2$ 
209:208,21[H  ]| home; and my little $SS#ZC$Eliza was therefore placed at 
209:208,22[H  ]| school.  I saw her there whenever I could, and after$4$ 
209:208,23[H  ]| the death of my brother, (which$6#1$ happened about$4$ five 
209:208,24[H  ]| years ago, and which$6#1$ left to$4$ me the possession of the 
209:208,25[H  ]| family property,) she frequently visited me at Delaford. 
209:208,26[H  ]| I called her a distant relation; but I am well$5$ aware 
209:208,27[H  ]| that$3$ I have in$4$ general$0$ been suspected of a much nearer 
209:208,28[H  ]| connection with her.  It is now three years ago, (she 
209:208,29[H  ]| had just$5$ reached her fourteenth year,) that$3$ I removed 
209:208,30[H  ]| her from school, to$9$ place$1$ her under the care$0$ of a very 
209:208,31[H  ]| respectable woman, residing in$4$ Dorsetshire, who$6#1$ had the 
209:208,32[H  ]| charge$0$ of four or five other girls of about$4$ the same time 
209:208,33[H  ]| of life; and for$4$ two years I had every reason$0$ to$9$ be 
209:208,34[H  ]| pleased with her situation.  But last$2$ February, almost 
209:208,35[H  ]| a twelvemonth back$5$, she suddenly disappeared.  I had 
209:208,36[H  ]| allowed her, (imprudently, as it has since turned out$5$,) 
209:208,37[H  ]| at her earnest desire$0$, to$9$ go to$4$ Bath$0#1$ with one of her 
209:208,38[H  ]| young friends, who$6#1$ was attending her father there for$4$ 
209:209,01[H  ]| his health.  I knew him to$9$ be a very good sort of man, 
209:209,02[H  ]| and I thought$1$ well$5$ of his daughter ~~ better than she 
209:209,03[H  ]| deserved, for$3$, with a most obstinate and ill-judged 
209:209,04[H  ]| secrecy, she would tell nothing, would give no$2$ clue, 
209:209,05[H  ]| though she certainly knew all.  He, her father, a well-meaning, 
209:209,06[H  ]| but not a quick-sighted man, could really, 
209:209,07[H  ]| I believe, give no$2$ information; for$3$ he had been generally 
209:209,08[H  ]| confined to$4$ the house, while$3$ the girls were ranging over 
209:209,09[H  ]| the town and making what acquaintance they chose; 
209:209,10[H  ]| and he tried to$9$ convince me, as thoroughly as he was 
209:209,11[H  ]| convinced himself, of his daughter's being$1$ entirely unconcerned 
209:209,12[H  ]| in$4$ the business.  In$4$ short, I could learn nothing 
209:209,13[H  ]| but that$3$ she was gone; all the rest$0#1$, for$4$ eight long 
209:209,14[H  ]| months, was left to$4$ conjecture$0$.  What I thought$1$, what 
209:209,15[H  ]| I feared, may$1$ be imagined; and what I suffered too$5#2$." 
209:209,16[A  ]| "Good heavens!" 
209:209,16['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor, 
209:209,16[A  ]| "could it be ~~ could 
209:209,17[A  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby! ~~ 
209:209,18[H  ]| "The first news that$6#1$ reached me of her," 
209:209,18['  ]| he continued, 
209:209,19[H  ]| "came in$4$ a letter from herself, last$2$ October.  It was 
209:209,20[H  ]| forwarded to$4$ me from Delaford, and I received it on$4$ 
209:209,21[H  ]| the very morning of our intended party to$4$ Whitwell; 
209:209,22[H  ]| and this was the reason$0$ of my leaving Barton so$5#1$ suddenly, 
209:209,23[H  ]| which$6#1$ I am sure must at the time have appeared 
209:209,24[H  ]| strange to$4$ every*body, and which$6#1$ I believe gave offence 
209:209,25[H  ]| to$4$ some.  Little did $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby imagine, I suppose, 
209:209,26[H  ]| when his looks$0$ censured me for$4$ incivility in$4$ breaking up$5$ 
209:209,27[H  ]| the party, that$3$ I was called away to$4$ the relief of one, 
209:209,28[H  ]| whom$6#1$ he had made poor and miserable; but \had\ he 
209:209,29[H  ]| known it, what would it have availed?  Would he have 
209:209,30[H  ]| been less gay or less happy in$4$ the smiles of your sister? 
209:209,31[H  ]| No$7$, he had already done that$6#2$, which$6#1$ no$2$ man who$6#1$ \can\ 
209:209,32[H  ]| feel for$4$ another, would do.  He had left the girl whose$6#1$ 
209:209,33[H  ]| youth and innocence he had seduced, in$4$ a situation of 
209:209,34[H  ]| the utmost distress$0$, with no$2$ creditable home, no$2$ help$0$, 
209:209,35[H  ]| no$2$ friends, ignorant of his address$0$!  He had left her 
209:209,36[H  ]| promising to$9$ return$1$; he neither returned, nor wrote, 
209:209,37[H  ]| nor relieved her." 
209:209,38[A  ]| "This is beyond$4$ every*thing!" 
209:209,38['  ]| exclaimed $SS#A$Elinor. 
209:210,01[H  ]| "His character is now before$4$ you; expensive, dissipated, 
209:210,02[H  ]| and worse than both.  Knowing all this, as 
209:210,03[H  ]| I have now known it many weeks, guess$1$ what I must 
209:210,04[H  ]| have felt on$4$ seeing your sister as fond of him as ever, 
209:210,05[H  ]| and on$4$ being$1$ assured that$3$ she was to$9$ marry him; guess$1$ 
209:210,06[H  ]| what I must have felt for$4$ all your sakes.  When I came 
209:210,07[H  ]| to$4$ you last$2$ week and found you alone, I came determined 
209:210,08[H  ]| to$9$ know the truth; though irresolute what to$9$ do when 
209:210,09[H  ]| it \was\ known.  My behaviour must have seemed strange 
209:210,10[H  ]| to$4$ you then; but now you will$1$ comprehend it.  To$9$ 
209:210,11[H  ]| suffer you all to$9$ be so$5#2$ deceived; to$9$ see your sister ~~ but 
209:210,12[H  ]| what could I do?  I had no$2$ hope$0$ of interfering with 
209:210,13[H  ]| success; and sometimes I thought$1$ your sister's influence$0$ 
209:210,14[H  ]| might yet reclaim him.  But now, after$4$ such dishonourable 
209:210,15[H  ]| usage, who$6#2$ can tell what were his designs on$4$ her? 
209:210,16[H  ]| Whatever they may$1$ have been, however, she may$1$ now, 
209:210,17[H  ]| and hereafter doubtless \will$1$\, turn$1$ with gratitude towards 
209:210,18[H  ]| her own$2$ condition$0$, when she compares it with that$6#2$ of 
209:210,19[H  ]| my poor $SS#ZC$Eliza, when she considers the wretched and 
209:210,20[H  ]| hopeless situation of this poor girl, and pictures her to$4$ 
209:210,21[H  ]| herself, with an affection for$4$ him as strong, still$5$ as strong 
209:210,22[H  ]| as her own$2$, and with a mind$0$ tormented by$4$ self-reproach, 
209:210,23[H  ]| which$6#1$ must attend her through$4$ life.  Surely this comparison 
209:210,24[H  ]| must have its use$0$ with her.  She will$1$ feel her 
209:210,25[H  ]| own$2$ sufferings to$9$ be nothing.  They proceed from no$2$ 
209:210,26[H  ]| misconduct, and can bring no$2$ disgrace$0$.  On$4$ the contrary, 
209:210,27[H  ]| every friend must be made still$5$ more her friend by$4$ 
209:210,28[H  ]| them.  Concern$0$ for$4$ her unhappiness, and respect$0$ for$4$ her 
209:210,29[H  ]| fortitude under it, must strengthen every attachment. 
209:210,30[H  ]| Use$1$ your own$2$ discretion, however, in$4$ communicating to$4$ 
209:210,31[H  ]| her what I have told you.  You must know best what 
209:210,32[H  ]| will$1$ be its effect$0$; but had I not seriously, and from my 
209:210,33[H  ]| heart believed it might be of service, might lessen her 
209:210,34[H  ]| regrets, I would not have suffered myself to$9$ trouble$1$ you 
209:210,35[H  ]| with this account$0$ of my family afflictions, with a recital 
209:210,36[H  ]| which$6#1$ may$1$ seem to$9$ have been intended to$9$ raise myself 
209:210,37[H  ]| at the expense of others." 
209:210,38['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's thanks followed this speech with grateful 
209:211,01['  ]| earnestness; attended too$5#2$ with the assurance of her 
209:211,02['  ]| expecting material$2$ advantage to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, from the 
209:211,03['  ]| communication of what had passed. 
209:211,04[A  ]| "I have been more pained," 
209:211,04['  ]| said she, 
209:211,04[A  ]| "by$4$ her 
209:211,05[A  ]| endeavours$0$ to$9$ acquit him than by$4$ all the rest$0#1$; for$3$ it 
209:211,06[A  ]| irritates her mind$0$ more than the most perfect$2$ conviction 
209:211,07[A  ]| of his unworthiness can do.  Now, though at first she 
209:211,08[A  ]| will$1$ suffer much, I am sure she will$1$ soon become easier. 
209:211,09[A  ]| Have you," 
209:211,09['  ]| she continued, after$4$ a short silence$0$, 
209:211,09[A  ]| "ever 
209:211,10[A  ]| seen $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby since you left him at Barton?" 
209:211,11[H  ]| "Yes," 
209:211,11['  ]| he replied gravely, 
209:211,11[H  ]| "once I have.  One 
209:211,12[H  ]| meeting was unavoidable." 
209:211,13['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, startled by$4$ his manner, looked at him anxiously, 
209:211,14['  ]| saying, 
209:211,15[A  ]| "What?  have you met him to$9$ ~~" 
209:211,16[H  ]| "I could meet$1$ him in$4$ no$2$ other way.  $SS#ZC$Eliza had 
209:211,17[H  ]| confessed to$4$ me, though most reluctantly, the name$0$ of 
209:211,18[H  ]| her lover; and when he returned to$4$ town, which$6#1$ was 
209:211,19[H  ]| within a fortnight after$4$ myself, we met by$4$ appointment, 
209:211,20[H  ]| he to$9$ defend, I to$9$ punish his conduct$0$.  We returned 
209:211,21[H  ]| unwounded, and the meeting, therefore, never got 
209:211,22[H  ]| abroad." 
209:211,23['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor sighed over the fancied necessity of this; but 
209:211,24['  ]| to$4$ a man and a soldier, she presumed not to$9$ censure$1$ it. 
209:211,25[H  ]| "Such," 
209:211,25['  ]| said $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, after$4$ a pause$0$, 
209:211,25[H  ]| "has 
209:211,26[H  ]| been the unhappy resemblance between the fate of 
209:211,27[H  ]| mother and daughter! and so$5#1$ imperfectly have I discharged 
209:211,28[H  ]| my trust$0$!" 
209:211,29[A  ]| "Is she still$5$ in$4$ town?" 
209:211,30[H  ]| "No$7$; as soon as she recovered from her lying-in, 
209:211,31[H  ]| for$3$ I found her near$4$ her delivery, I removed her and her 
209:211,32[H  ]| child into the country, and there she remains$1$." 
209:211,33['  ]| Recollecting, soon afterwards, that$3$ he was probably 
209:211,34['  ]| dividing $SS#A$Elinor from her sister, he put an end$0$ to$4$ his 
209:211,35['  ]| visit$0$, receiving from her again the same grateful acknowledgments, 
209:211,36['  ]| and leaving her full of compassion and esteem$0$ 
209:211,37['  ]| for$4$ him. 
210:212,01['  ]| When the particulars of this conversation were 
210:212,02['  ]| repeated by$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood to$4$ her sister, as they very 
210:212,03['  ]| soon were, the effect$0$ on$4$ her was not entirely such as the 
210:212,04['  ]| former had hoped to$9$ see.  Not that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne appeared 
210:212,05['  ]| to$9$ distrust$1$ the truth of any part$0$ of it, for$3$ she listened 
210:212,06['  ]| to$4$ it all with the most steady and submissive attention, 
210:212,07['  ]| made neither objection nor remark$0$, attempted no$2$ vindication 
210:212,08['  ]| of $SS#R$Willoughby, and seemed to$9$ shew$1$ by$4$ her tears 
210:212,09['  ]| that$3$ she felt it to$9$ be impossible.  But though this 
210:212,10['  ]| behaviour assured $SS#A$Elinor that$3$ the conviction of his guilt 
210:212,11['  ]| \was\ carried home to$4$ her mind$0$, though she saw with 
210:212,12['  ]| satisfaction the effect$0$ of it, in$4$ her no$2$ longer avoiding 
210:212,13['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon when he called, in$4$ her speaking to$4$ him, 
210:212,14['  ]| even$5$ voluntarily speaking, with a kind$0$ of compassionate 
210:212,15['  ]| respect$0$, and though she saw her spirits less violently 
210:212,16['  ]| irritated than before$5$, she did not see her less wretched. 
210:212,17['  ]| Her mind$0$ did become settled, but it was settled in$4$ 
210:212,18['  ]| a gloomy dejection.  She felt the loss of $SS#R$Willoughby's 
210:212,19['  ]| character yet more heavily than she had felt the loss of 
210:212,20['  ]| his heart; his seduction and desertion of $SS#ZC$Miss*Williams, 
210:212,21['  ]| the misery of that$6#2$ poor girl, and the doubt$0$ of what his 
210:212,22['  ]| designs might \once\ have been on$4$ herself, preyed altogether 
210:212,23['  ]| so$5#1$ much on$4$ her spirits, that$3$ she could not bring 
210:212,24['  ]| herself to$9$ speak of what she felt even$5$ to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor; and 
210:212,25['  ]| brooding over her sorrows in$4$ silence$0$, gave more pain$0$ to$4$ 
210:212,26['  ]| her sister than could have been communicated by$4$ the 
210:212,27['  ]| most open$2$ and most frequent confession of them. 
210:212,28['  ]| To$9$ give the feelings or the language of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
210:212,29['  ]| on$4$ receiving and answering $SS#A$Elinor's letter, would be 
210:212,30['  ]| only to$9$ give a repetition of what her daughters had 
210:212,31['  ]| already felt and said; of a disappointment hardly less 
210:212,32['  ]| painful than $SS#C$Marianne's, and an indignation even$5$ greater 
210:212,33['  ]| than $SS#A$Elinor's.  Long letters from her, quickly succeeding 
210:213,01['  ]| each other, arrived to$9$ tell all that$6#1$ she suffered and 
210:213,02['  ]| thought$1$; to$9$ express$1$ her anxious solicitude for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, 
210:213,03['  ]| and entreat she would bear$1$ up$5$ with fortitude under this 
210:213,04['  ]| misfortune.  Bad indeed must the nature of $SS#C$Marianne's 
210:213,05['  ]| affliction be, when her mother could talk$1$ of fortitude! 
210:213,06['  ]| mortifying and humiliating must be the origin of those 
210:213,07['  ]| regrets, which$6#1$ \she\ could wish$1$ her not to$9$ indulge! 
210:213,08['  ]| Against the interest$0$ of her own$2$ individual comfort$0$, 
210:213,09['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood had determined that$3$ it would be better 
210:213,10['  ]| for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ be anywhere, at that$6#2$ time, than at 
210:213,11['  ]| Barton, where every*thing within her view$0$ would be 
210:213,12['  ]| bringing back$5$ the past$0$ in$4$ the strongest and most 
210:213,13['  ]| afflicting manner, by$4$ constantly placing $SS#R$Willoughby 
210:213,14['  ]| before$4$ her, such as she had always seen him there.  She 
210:213,15['  ]| recommended it to$4$ her daughters, therefore, by$4$ all means$0$ 
210:213,16['  ]| not to$9$ shorten their visit$0$ to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings; the length 
210:213,17['  ]| of which$6#1$, though never exactly fixed, had been expected 
210:213,18['  ]| by$4$ all to$9$ comprise at least five or six weeks.  A variety 
210:213,19['  ]| of occupations, of objects$0$, and of company, which$6#1$ could 
210:213,20['  ]| not be procured at Barton, would be inevitable there, 
210:213,21['  ]| and might yet, she hoped, cheat $SS#C$Marianne, at times, 
210:213,22['  ]| into some interest$0$ beyond$4$ herself, and even$5$ into some 
210:213,23['  ]| amusement, much as the idea of both might now be 
210:213,24['  ]| spurned by$4$ her. 
210:213,25['  ]| From all danger of seeing $SS#R$Willoughby again, her 
210:213,26['  ]| mother considered her to$9$ be at least equally safe in$4$ 
210:213,27['  ]| town as in$4$ the country, since his acquaintance must 
210:213,28['  ]| now be dropped by$4$ all who$6#1$ called themselves her friends. 
210:213,29['  ]| Design$0$ could never bring them in$4$ each other's way: 
210:213,30['  ]| negligence could never leave$1$ them exposed to$4$ a surprise$0$; 
210:213,31['  ]| and chance$0$ had less in$4$ its favour$0$ in$4$ the croud of London 
210:213,32['  ]| than even$5$ in$4$ the retirement of Barton, where it might 
210:213,33['  ]| force$1$ him before$4$ her while$4$ paying that$6#2$ visit$0$ at Allenham 
210:213,34['  ]| on$4$ his marriage, which$6#1$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, from foreseeing 
210:213,35['  ]| at first as a probable event, had brought herself to$9$ 
210:213,36['  ]| expect as a certain one. 
210:213,37['  ]| She had yet another reason$0$ for$4$ wishing her children 
210:213,38['  ]| to$9$ remain where they were; a letter from her son-in-law 
210:214,01['  ]| had told her that$3$ he and his wife were to$9$ be in$4$ town 
210:214,02['  ]| before$4$ the middle of February, and she judged it right$2#1$ 
210:214,03['  ]| that$3$ they should sometimes see their brother. 
210:214,04['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne had promised to$9$ be guided by$4$ her mother's 
210:214,05['  ]| opinion, and she submitted to$4$ it therefore without 
210:214,06['  ]| opposition, though it proved perfectly different from 
210:214,07['  ]| what she wished and expected, though she felt it to$9$ be 
210:214,08['  ]| entirely wrong, formed on$4$ mistaken grounds, and that$3$ 
210:214,09['  ]| by$4$ requiring her longer continuance in$4$ London it 
210:214,10['  ]| deprived her of the only possible alleviation of her 
210:214,11['  ]| wretchedness, the personal sympathy of her mother, and 
210:214,12['  ]| doomed her to$4$ such society and such scenes as must 
210:214,13['  ]| prevent her ever knowing a moment's rest$0#2$. 
210:214,14['  ]| But it was a matter of great consolation to$4$ her, that$3$ 
210:214,15['  ]| what brought evil to$4$ herself would bring good to$4$ her 
210:214,16['  ]| sister; and $SS#A$Elinor, on$4$ the other hand$0$, suspecting that$3$ 
210:214,17['  ]| it would not be in$4$ her power to$9$ avoid $SS#B$Edward entirely, 
210:214,18['  ]| comforted herself by$4$ thinking, that$3$ though their longer 
210:214,19['  ]| stay$0$ would therefore militate against her own$2$ happiness, 
210:214,20['  ]| it would be better for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne than an immediate 
210:214,21['  ]| return$0$ into Devonshire. 
210:214,22['  ]| Her carefulness in$4$ guarding her sister from ever 
210:214,23['  ]| hearing $SS#R$Willoughby's name$0$ mentioned, was not thrown 
210:214,24['  ]| away.  $SS#C$Marianne, though without knowing it herself, 
210:214,25['  ]| reaped all its advantage; for$3$ neither $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, nor 
210:214,26['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John, nor even$5$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer herself, ever spoke of 
210:214,27['  ]| him before$4$ her.  $SS#A$Elinor wished that$3$ the same forbearance 
210:214,28['  ]| could have extended towards herself, but that$6#2$ was 
210:214,29['  ]| impossible, and she was obliged to$9$ listen day after$4$ day 
210:214,30['  ]| to$4$ the indignation of them all. 
210:214,31['  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John could not have thought$1$ it possible. 
210:214,31[L  ]| "A man 
210:214,32[L  ]| of whom$6#1$ he had always had such reason$0$ to$9$ think well$5$! 
210:214,33[L  ]| Such a good-natured fellow!  He did not believe there 
210:214,34[L  ]| was a bolder rider in$4$ England!  It was an unaccountable 
210:214,35[L  ]| business.  He wished him at the devil with all his heart. 
210:214,36[L  ]| He would not speak another word to$4$ him, meet$1$ him 
210:214,37[L  ]| where he might, for$4$ all the world!  No$7$, not if it were 
210:214,38[L  ]| to$9$ be by$4$ the side$0$ of Barton*covert, and they were kept 
210:215,01[L  ]| waiting for$4$ two hours together.  Such a scoundrel of 
210:215,02[L  ]| a fellow! such a deceitful dog!  It was only the last$2$ 
210:215,03[L  ]| time they met that$3$ he had offered him one of Folly's 
210:215,04[L  ]| puppies! and this was the end$0$ of it!" 
210:215,05['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer, in$4$ her way, was equally angry. 
210:215,05[O  ]| "She 
210:215,06[O  ]| was determined to$9$ drop$1$ his acquaintance immediately, 
210:215,07[O  ]| and she was very thankful that$3$ she had never been 
210:215,08[O  ]| acquainted with him at all.  She wished with all her 
210:215,09[O  ]| heart Combe*Magna was not so$5#1$ near$4$ Cleveland; but it 
210:215,10[O  ]| did not signify, for$3$ it was a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ far off to$9$ 
210:215,11[O  ]| visit$1$; she hated him so$5#1$ much that$3$ she was resolved 
210:215,12[O  ]| never to$9$ mention$1$ his name$0$ again, and she should tell 
210:215,13[O  ]| everybody she saw, how good-for-nothing he was." 
210:215,14['  ]| The rest$0#1$ of $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's sympathy was shewn in$4$ procuring 
210:215,15['  ]| all the particulars in$4$ her power of the approaching 
210:215,16['  ]| marriage, and communicating them to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor.  She could 
210:215,17['  ]| soon tell at what coachmaker's the new carriage was 
210:215,18['  ]| building, by$4$ what painter $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby's portrait 
210:215,19['  ]| was drawn, and at what warehouse $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey's clothes 
210:215,20['  ]| might be seen. 
210:215,21['  ]| The calm$2$ and polite unconcern of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
210:215,22['  ]| on$4$ the occasion$0$ was an happy relief to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's spirits, 
210:215,23['  ]| oppressed as they often were by$4$ the clamorous kindness 
210:215,24['  ]| of the others.  It was a great comfort$0$ to$4$ her, to$9$ be sure 
210:215,25['  ]| of exciting no$2$ interest$0$ in$4$ \one\ person at least among their 
210:215,26['  ]| circle of friends; a great comfort$0$ to$9$ know that$3$ there 
210:215,27['  ]| was \one\ who$6#1$ would meet$1$ her without feeling any curiosity 
210:215,28['  ]| after$4$ particulars, or any anxiety for$4$ her sister's health. 
210:215,29['  ]| Every qualification is raised at times, by$4$ the circumstances 
210:215,30['  ]| of the moment, to$4$ more than its real value$0$; 
210:215,31['  ]| and she was sometimes worried down$5$ by$4$ officious condolence 
210:215,32['  ]| to$9$ rate$1$ good-breeding as more indispensable to$4$ 
210:215,33['  ]| comfort$0$ than good-nature. 
210:215,34['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton expressed her sense of the affair about$4$ 
210:215,35['  ]| once every day, or twice, if the subject$0$ occurred very 
210:215,36['  ]| often, by$4$ saying, 
210:215,36[M  ]| "It is very shocking indeed!" 
210:215,36['  ]| and 
210:215,37['  ]| by$4$ the means$0$ of this continual though gentle vent, was 
210:215,38['  ]| able not only to$9$ see the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods from the first 
210:216,01['  ]| without the smallest emotion, but very soon to$9$ see them 
210:216,02['  ]| without recollecting a word of the matter; and having 
210:216,03['  ]| thus supported the dignity of her own$2$ sex, and spoken 
210:216,04['  ]| her decided censure$0$ of what was wrong in$4$ the other, she 
210:216,05['  ]| thought$1$ herself at liberty to$9$ attend to$4$ the interest$0$ of 
210:216,06['  ]| her own$2$ assemblies, and therefore determined (though 
210:216,07['  ]| rather against the opinion of $SS#L$Sir*John) that$3$ as $SS#ZR$Mrs%*Willoughby 
210:216,08['  ]| would at once be a woman of elegance and 
210:216,09['  ]| fortune, to$9$ leave$1$ her card with her as soon as she married. 
210:216,10['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's delicate unobtrusive inquiries were 
210:216,11['  ]| never unwelcome to$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood.  He had abundantly 
210:216,12['  ]| earned the privilege of intimate$2$ discussion of her 
210:216,13['  ]| sister's disappointment, by$4$ the friendly zeal with which$6#1$ 
210:216,14['  ]| he had endeavoured to$9$ soften it, and they always conversed 
210:216,15['  ]| with confidence.  His chief reward$0$ for$4$ the painful 
210:216,16['  ]| exertion of disclosing past$2$ sorrows and present$2$ humiliations, 
210:216,17['  ]| was given in$4$ the pitying eye with which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne 
210:216,18['  ]| sometimes observed him, and the gentleness of her voice 
210:216,19['  ]| whenever (though it did not often happen) she was 
210:216,20['  ]| obliged, or could oblige herself to$9$ speak to$4$ him.  \These\ 
210:216,21['  ]| assured him that$3$ his exertion had produced an increase$0$ 
210:216,22['  ]| of good-will towards himself, and \these\ gave $SS#A$Elinor hopes$0$ 
210:216,23['  ]| of its being$1$ farther augmented hereafter; but $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
210:216,24['  ]| who$6#1$ knew nothing of all this, who$6#1$ knew only that$3$ 
210:216,25['  ]| the $SS#H$Colonel continued as grave$2$ as ever, and that$3$ she 
210:216,26['  ]| could neither prevail on$4$ him to$9$ make$1$ the offer$0$ himself, 
210:216,27['  ]| nor commission her to$9$ make$1$ it for$4$ him, began, at the 
210:216,28['  ]| end$0$ of two days, to$9$ think that$3$, instead of Midsummer, 
210:216,29['  ]| they would not be married till Michaelmas, and by$4$ the 
210:216,30['  ]| end$0$ of a week that$3$ it would not be a match$0$ at all.  The 
210:216,31['  ]| good understanding between the $SS#H$Colonel and $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood 
210:216,32['  ]| seemed rather to$9$ declare that$3$ the honours of the 
210:216,33['  ]| mulberry-tree, the canal, and the yew arbour, would all 
210:216,34['  ]| be made over to$4$ \her\; and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings had for$4$ some 
210:216,35['  ]| time ceased to$9$ think at all of $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars. 
210:216,36['  ]| Early in$4$ February, within a fortnight from the receipt 
210:216,37['  ]| of $SS#R$Willoughby's letter, $SS#A$Elinor had the painful office of 
210:216,38['  ]| informing her sister that$3$ he was married.  She had taken 
210:217,01['  ]| care$0$ to$9$ have the intelligence conveyed to$4$ herself, as soon 
210:217,02['  ]| as it was known that$3$ the ceremony was over, as she was 
210:217,03['  ]| desirous that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne should not receive the first notice$0$ 
210:217,04['  ]| of it from the public$2$ papers, which$6#1$ she saw her eagerly 
210:217,05['  ]| examining every morning. 
210:217,06['  ]| She received the news with resolute composure; made 
210:217,07['  ]| no$2$ observation on$4$ it, and at first shed no$2$ tears; but 
210:217,08['  ]| after$4$ a short time they would burst$1$ out$5$, and for$4$ the 
210:217,09['  ]| rest$0#1$ of the day, she was in$4$ a state$0$ hardly less pitiable 
210:217,10['  ]| than when she first learnt to$9$ expect the event. 
210:217,11['  ]| The $SS#R1$Willoughbys left town as soon as they were 
210:217,12['  ]| married; and $SS#A$Elinor now hoped, as there could be no$2$ 
210:217,13['  ]| danger of her seeing either of them, to$9$ prevail on$4$ her 
210:217,14['  ]| sister, who$6#1$ had never yet left the house since the blow 
210:217,15['  ]| first fell, to$9$ go out$5$ again by$4$ degrees as she had done 
210:217,16['  ]| before$5$. 
210:217,17['  ]| About$4$ this time, the two $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, lately arrived 
210:217,18['  ]| at their cousin's house in$4$ Bartlett's*Buildings, Holborn, 
210:217,19['  ]| presented themselves again before$4$ their more grand 
210:217,20['  ]| relations in$4$ Conduit and Berkeley-street; and were 
210:217,21['  ]| welcomed by$4$ them all with great cordiality. 
210:217,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor only was sorry to$9$ see them.  Their presence 
210:217,23['  ]| always gave her pain$0$, and she hardly knew how to$9$ make$1$ 
210:217,24['  ]| a very gracious return$0$ to$4$ the overpowering delight$0$ of 
210:217,25['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy in$4$ finding her \still$5$\ in$4$ town. 
210:217,26[Q  ]| "I should have been quite disappointed if I had not 
210:217,27[Q  ]| found you here \still$5$\," 
210:217,27['  ]| said she repeatedly, with a strong 
210:217,28['  ]| emphasis on$4$ the word. 
210:217,28[Q  ]| "But I always thought$1$ I \should\. 
210:217,29[Q  ]| I was almost sure you would not leave$1$ London yet 
210:217,30[Q  ]| awhile; though you \told\ me, you know, at Barton, that$3$ 
210:217,31[Q  ]| you should not stay$1$ above$4$ a \month\.  But I thought$1$, at 
210:217,32[Q  ]| the time, that$3$ you would most likely change$1$ your mind$0$ 
210:217,33[Q  ]| when it came to$4$ the point$0$.  It would have been such 
210:217,34[Q  ]| a great pity$0$ to$9$ have went away before$3$ your brother and 
210:217,35[Q  ]| sister came.  And now to$9$ be sure you will$1$ be in$4$ no$2$ 
210:217,36[Q  ]| \hurry$0$\ to$9$ be gone.  I am amazingly glad you did not 
210:217,37[Q  ]| keep to$4$ \your\ \word\." 
210:217,38['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor perfectly understood her, and was forced to$9$ 
210:218,01['  ]| use$1$ all her self-command to$9$ make$1$ it appear that$3$ she 
210:218,02['  ]| did \not\. 
210:218,03[K  ]| "Well$7$, my dear$2#1$," 
210:218,03['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
210:218,03[K  ]| "and how did 
210:218,04[K  ]| you travel?" 
210:218,05[P  ]| "Not in$4$ the stage$0#3$, I assure you," 
210:218,05['  ]| replied $SS#P$Miss*Steele, 
210:218,06['  ]| with quick$2$ exultation; 
210:218,06[P  ]| "we came post all the way, and 
210:218,07[P  ]| had a very smart beau to$9$ attend us.  $SS#ZJ$Dr%*Davies was 
210:218,08[P  ]| coming to$4$ town, and so$3$ we thought$1$ we'd join him in$4$ 
210:218,09[P  ]| a post-chaise; and he behaved very genteelly, and paid 
210:218,10[P  ]| ten or twelve shillings more than we did." 
210:218,11[K  ]| "Oh, oh!" 
210:218,11['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings; 
210:218,11[K  ]| "very pretty$2$, 
210:218,12[K  ]| indeed! and the $SS#ZJ$Doctor is a single man, I warrant you." 
210:218,13[P  ]| "There now," 
210:218,13['  ]| said $SS#P$Miss*Steele, affectedly simpering, 
210:218,14[P  ]| "everybody laughs at me so$5#2$ about$4$ the $SS#ZJ$Doctor, and 
210:218,15[P  ]| I cannot think why.  My cousins say they are sure I 
210:218,16[P  ]| have made a conquest; but for$4$ my part$0$ I declare 
210:218,17[P  ]| I never think about$4$ him from one hour's end$0$ to$4$ another. 
210:218,18[P  ]| ""Lord$7$! here comes your beau, $SS#P$Nancy,"" my cousin said 
210:218,19[P  ]| t'other day, when she saw him crossing the street to$4$ 
210:218,20[P  ]| the house.  My beau, indeed! said I ~~ I cannot think 
210:218,21[P  ]| who$6#1$ you mean$1$.  The $SS#ZJ$Doctor is no$2$ beau of mine$6$." 
210:218,22[K  ]| "Aye, aye, that$6#2$ is very pretty$2$ talking ~~ but it won't 
210:218,23[K  ]| do ~~ the $SS#ZJ$Doctor is the man, I see." 
210:218,24[P  ]| "No$7$, indeed!" 
210:218,24['  ]| replied her cousin, with affected 
210:218,25['  ]| earnestness, 
210:218,25[P  ]| "and I beg you will$1$ contradict it, if you 
210:218,26[P  ]| ever hear it talked of." 
210:218,27['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings directly gave her the gratifying assurance 
210:218,28['  ]| that$3$ she certainly would \not\, and $SS#P$Miss*Steele was 
210:218,29['  ]| made completely happy. 
210:218,30[Q  ]| "I suppose you will$1$ go and stay$1$ with your brother 
210:218,31[Q  ]| and sister, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, when they come to$4$ town," 
210:218,32['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, returning, after$4$ a cessation of hostile hints, 
210:218,33['  ]| to$4$ the charge$0$. 
210:218,34[A  ]| "No$7$, I do not think we shall." 
210:218,35[Q  ]| "Oh, yes, I dare$1#2$ say you will$1$." 
210:218,36['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor would not humour her by$4$ farther opposition. 
210:218,37[Q  ]| "What a charming thing it is that$3$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
210:218,38[Q  ]| can spare$1$ you both for$4$ so$5#1$ long a time together!" 
210:219,01[K  ]| "Long a time, indeed!" 
210:219,01['  ]| interposed $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings. 
210:219,02[K  ]| "Why, their visit$0$ is but just$5$ begun!" 
210:219,03['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy was silenced. 
210:219,04[P  ]| "I am sorry we cannot see your sister, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood," 
210:219,05['  ]| said $SS#P$Miss*Steele. 
210:219,05[P  ]| "I am sorry she is not well$5$;" 
210:219,06['  ]| for$3$ $SS#C$Marianne had left the room on$4$ their arrival. 
210:219,07[A  ]| "You are very good.  My sister will$1$ be equally sorry 
210:219,08[A  ]| to$9$ miss the pleasure of seeing you; but she has been 
210:219,09[A  ]| very much plagued lately with nervous head-aches, 
210:219,10[A  ]| which$6#1$ make$1$ her unfit for$4$ company or conversation." 
210:219,11[P  ]| "Oh, dear$7$, that$6#2$ is a great pity$0$! but such old friends 
210:219,12[P  ]| as $SS#Q$Lucy and me! ~~ I think she might see \us\; and I am 
210:219,13[P  ]| sure we would not speak a word." 
210:219,14['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, with great civility, declined the proposal.  Her 
210:219,15['  ]| sister was perhaps laid down$5$ upon$4$ the bed, or in$4$ her 
210:219,16['  ]| dressing gown, and therefore not able to$9$ come to$4$ them. 
210:219,17[P  ]| "Oh, if that's all," 
210:219,17['  ]| cried $SS#P$Miss*Steele, 
210:219,17[P  ]| "we can just$5$ 
210:219,18[P  ]| as well$5$ go and see \her\." 
210:219,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor began to$9$ find this impertinence too$5#1$ much for$4$ 
210:219,20['  ]| her temper; but she was saved the trouble$0$ of checking 
210:219,21['  ]| it, by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy's sharp reprimand, which$6#1$ now, as on$4$ many 
210:219,22['  ]| occasions, though it did not give much sweetness to$4$ the 
210:219,23['  ]| manners of one sister, was of advantage in$4$ governing 
210:219,24['  ]| those of the other. 
211:220,01['  ]| After$4$ some opposition, $SS#C$Marianne yielded to$4$ her 
211:220,02['  ]| sister's entreaties, and consented to$9$ go out$5$ with her and 
211:220,03['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings one morning for$4$ half an hour.  She expressly 
211:220,04['  ]| conditioned, however, for$4$ paying no$2$ visits, and 
211:220,05['  ]| would do no$2$ more than accompany them to$4$ $SS#Z1$Gray's in$4$ 
211:220,06['  ]| Sackvill-street, where $SS#A$Elinor was carrying on$5$ a negociation 
211:220,07['  ]| for$4$ the exchange$0$ of a few old-fashioned jewels of 
211:220,08['  ]| her mother. 
211:220,09['  ]| When they stopped at the door, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings recollected 
211:220,10['  ]| that$3$ there was a lady at the other end$0$ of the 
211:220,11['  ]| street, on$4$ whom$6#1$ she ought to$9$ call$1$; and as she had no$2$ 
211:220,12['  ]| business at $SS#Z1$Gray's, it was resolved, that$3$ while$3$ her young 
211:220,13['  ]| friends transacted their's, she should pay$1$ her visit$0$ and 
211:220,14['  ]| return$1$ for$4$ them. 
211:220,15['  ]| On$4$ ascending the stairs, the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods found 
211:220,16['  ]| so$5#1$ many people before$4$ them in$4$ the room, that$3$ there was 
211:220,17['  ]| not a person at liberty to$9$ attend to$4$ their orders$0#1$; and 
211:220,18['  ]| they were obliged to$9$ wait.  All that$6#1$ could be done was, 
211:220,19['  ]| to$9$ sit down$5$ at the end$0$ of the counter which$6#1$ seemed to$9$ 
211:220,20['  ]| promise$1$ the quickest succession; one gentleman only 
211:220,21['  ]| was standing there, and it is probable that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor was 
211:220,22['  ]| not without hopes$0$ of exciting his politeness to$4$ a quicker 
211:220,23['  ]| dispatch.  But the correctness of his eye, and the 
211:220,24['  ]| delicacy of his taste, proved to$9$ be beyond$4$ his politeness. 
211:220,25['  ]| He was giving orders$0#1$ for$4$ a toothpick-case for$4$ himself, 
211:220,26['  ]| and till its size, shape$0$, and ornaments were determined, 
211:220,27['  ]| all of which$6#1$, after$4$ examining and debating for$4$ a quarter$0#1$ 
211:220,28['  ]| of an hour over every toothpick-case in$4$ the shop, were 
211:220,29['  ]| finally arranged by$4$ his own$2$ inventive fancy$0$, he had no$2$ 
211:220,30['  ]| leisure to$9$ bestow any other attention on$4$ the two ladies, 
211:220,31['  ]| than what was comprised in$4$ three or four very broad 
211:220,32['  ]| stares; a kind$0$ of notice$0$ which$6#1$ served to$9$ imprint on$4$ 
211:220,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor the remembrance of a person and face$0$, of strong, 
211:221,01['  ]| natural$2$, sterling insignificance, though adorned in$4$ the 
211:221,02['  ]| first style of fashion$0$. 
211:221,03['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was spared from the troublesome feelings of 
211:221,04['  ]| contempt and resentment, on$4$ this impertinent examination 
211:221,05['  ]| of their features, and on$4$ the puppyism of his manner 
211:221,06['  ]| in$4$ deciding on$4$ all the different horrors of the different 
211:221,07['  ]| toothpick-cases presented to$4$ his inspection, by$4$ remaining 
211:221,08['  ]| unconscious of it all; for$3$ she was as well$5$ able to$9$ collect 
211:221,09['  ]| her thoughts within herself, and be as ignorant of what 
211:221,10['  ]| was passing around$4$ her, in$4$ $SS#Z1$Mr%*Gray's shop, as in$4$ her 
211:221,11['  ]| own$2$ bed-room. 
211:221,12['  ]| At last$0$ the affair was decided.  The ivory, the gold, 
211:221,13['  ]| and the pearls, all received their appointment, and the 
211:221,14['  ]| gentleman having named the last$2$ day on$4$ which$6#1$ his 
211:221,15['  ]| existence could be continued without the possession of 
211:221,16['  ]| the toothpick-case, drew on$5$ his gloves with leisurely 
211:221,17['  ]| care$0$, and bestowing another glance$0$ on$4$ the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods, 
211:221,18['  ]| but such a one as seemed rather to$9$ demand$1$ than 
211:221,19['  ]| express$1$ admiration, walked off with an happy air of real 
211:221,20['  ]| conceit and affected indifference. 
211:221,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor lost no$2$ time in$4$ bringing her business forward$5$, 
211:221,22['  ]| and was on$4$ the point$0$ of concluding it, when another 
211:221,23['  ]| gentleman presented himself at her side$0$.  She turned 
211:221,24['  ]| her eyes towards his face$0$, and found him with some 
211:221,25['  ]| surprise$0$ to$4$ be her brother. 
211:221,26['  ]| Their affection and pleasure in$4$ meeting, was just$5$ 
211:221,27['  ]| enough to$9$ make$1$ a very creditable appearance in$4$ 
211:221,28['  ]| $SS#Z1$Mr%*Gray's shop.  $SS#F$John*Dashwood was really far from 
211:221,29['  ]| being$1$ sorry to$9$ see his sisters again; it rather gave them 
211:221,30['  ]| satisfaction; and his inquiries after$4$ their mother were 
211:221,31['  ]| respectful and attentive. 
211:221,32['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor found that$3$ he and $SS#G$Fanny had been in$4$ town 
211:221,33['  ]| two days. 
211:221,34[F  ]| "I wished very much to$9$ call$1$ upon$4$ you yesterday," 
211:221,35['  ]| said he, 
211:221,35[F  ]| "but it was impossible, for$3$ we were obliged to$9$ 
211:221,36[F  ]| take $SS#G1$Harry to$9$ see the wild beasts at Exeter*Exchange: 
211:221,37[F  ]| and we spent the rest$0#1$ of the day with $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars. 
211:221,38[F  ]| $SS#G1$Harry was vastly pleased.  \This\ morning I had fully 
211:222,01[F  ]| intended to$9$ call$1$ on$4$ you, if I could possibly find a spare$2$ 
211:222,02[F  ]| half hour, but one has always so$5#1$ much to$9$ do on$4$ first 
211:222,03[F  ]| coming to$4$ town.  I am come here to$9$ bespeak $SS#G$Fanny 
211:222,04[F  ]| a seal.  But to-morrow I think I shall certainly be able 
211:222,05[F  ]| to$9$ call$1$ in$4$ Berkeley-street, and be introduced to$4$ your 
211:222,06[F  ]| friend $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings.  I understand she is a woman of 
211:222,07[F  ]| very good fortune.  And the $SS#L1$Middletons too$5#2$, you must 
211:222,08[F  ]| introduce me to$4$ \them\.  As my mother-in-law's relations, 
211:222,09[F  ]| I shall be happy to$9$ shew$1$ them every respect$0$.  They are 
211:222,10[F  ]| excellent neighbours to$4$ you in$4$ the country, I understand." 
211:222,11[F  ]| 
211:222,12[A  ]| "Excellent indeed.  Their attention to$4$ our comfort$0$, 
211:222,13[A  ]| their friendliness in$4$ every particular, is more than I can 
211:222,14[A  ]| express$1$." 
211:222,15[F  ]| "I am extremely glad to$9$ hear it, upon$4$ my word; 
211:222,16[F  ]| extremely glad indeed.  But so$5#2$ it ought to$9$ be; they 
211:222,17[F  ]| are people of large fortune, they are related to$4$ you, and 
211:222,18[F  ]| every civility, and accommodation that$6#1$ can serve to$9$ 
211:222,19[F  ]| make$1$ your situation pleasant, might be reasonably 
211:222,20[F  ]| expected.  And so$3$ you are most comfortably settled in$4$ 
211:222,21[F  ]| your little cottage and want$1$ for$4$ nothing!  $SS#B$Edward 
211:222,22[F  ]| brought us a most charming account$0$ of the place$0$; the 
211:222,23[F  ]| most complete$2$ thing of its kind$0$, he said, that$6#1$ ever was, 
211:222,24[F  ]| and you all seemed to$9$ enjoy it beyond$4$ any*thing.  It 
211:222,25[F  ]| was a great satisfaction to$4$ us to$9$ hear it, I assure you." 
211:222,26['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor did feel a little ashamed of her brother; and 
211:222,27['  ]| was not sorry to$9$ be spared the necessity of answering 
211:222,28['  ]| him, by$4$ the arrival of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's servant, who$6#1$ 
211:222,29['  ]| came to$9$ tell her that$3$ his mistress waited for$4$ them at 
211:222,30['  ]| the door. 
211:222,31['  ]| $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood attended them down*stairs, was introduced 
211:222,32['  ]| to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings at the door of her carriage, and 
211:222,33['  ]| repeating his hope$0$ of being$1$ able to$9$ call$1$ on$4$ them the 
211:222,34['  ]| next day, took leave$0$. 
211:222,35['  ]| His visit$0$ was duly paid.  He came with a pretence 
211:222,36['  ]| at an apology from their sister-in-law, for$4$ not coming 
211:222,37['  ]| too$5#2$; 
211:222,37[G  ]| "but she was so$5#1$ much engaged with her mother, 
211:222,38[G  ]| that$3$ really she had no$2$ leisure for$4$ going any*where." 
211:223,01['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, however, assured him directly, that$3$ 
211:223,01@k   | she 
211:223,02@k   | should not stand$1$ upon$4$ ceremony, for$3$ they were all 
211:223,03@k   | cousins, or something like$4$ it, and she should certainly 
211:223,04@k   | wait on$4$ $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood very soon, and bring her 
211:223,05@k   | sisters to$9$ see her.  
211:223,05['  ]| His manners to$4$ \them\, though calm$2$, were 
211:223,06['  ]| perfectly kind$2$; to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings most attentively civil; 
211:223,07['  ]| and on$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's coming in$5$ soon after$4$ himself, 
211:223,08['  ]| he eyed him with a curiosity which$6#1$ seemed to$9$ say, that$3$ 
211:223,09['  ]| he only wanted to$9$ know him to$9$ be rich, to$9$ be equally 
211:223,10['  ]| civil to$4$ \him\. 
211:223,11['  ]| After$4$ staying with them half an hour, he asked $SS#A$Elinor 
211:223,12['  ]| to$9$ walk$1$ with him to$4$ Conduit-street, and introduce him 
211:223,13['  ]| to$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton.  The weather was 
211:223,14['  ]| remarkably fine, and she readily consented.  As soon as 
211:223,15['  ]| they were out$5$ of the house, his enquiries began. 
211:223,16[F  ]| "Who$6#2$ is $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon?  Is he a man of fortune?" 
211:223,17[A  ]| "Yes; he has very good property in$4$ Dorsetshire." 
211:223,18[F  ]| "I am glad of it.  He seems a most gentlemanlike 
211:223,19[F  ]| man; and I think, $SS#A$Elinor, I may$1$ congratulate you on$4$ 
211:223,20[F  ]| the prospect of a very respectable establishment in$4$ life." 
211:223,21[A  ]| "Me, brother! what do you mean$1$?" 
211:223,22[F  ]| "He likes you.  I observed him narrowly, and am 
211:223,23[F  ]| convinced of it.  What is the amount of his fortune?" 
211:223,24[A  ]| "I believe about$4$ two thousand a-year." 
211:223,25[F  ]| "Two thousand a-year;" 
211:223,25['  ]| and then working himself 
211:223,26['  ]| up$5$ to$4$ a pitch of enthusiastic generosity, he added, 
211:223,27[F  ]| "$SS#A$Elinor, I wish$1$, with all my heart, it were \twice\ as 
211:223,28[F  ]| much, for$4$ your sake." 
211:223,29[A  ]| "Indeed I believe you," 
211:223,29['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor; 
211:223,29[A  ]| "but I am 
211:223,30[A  ]| very sure that$3$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon has not the smallest 
211:223,31[A  ]| wish$0$ of marrying \me\." 
211:223,32[F  ]| "You are mistaken, $SS#A$Elinor; you are very much 
211:223,33[F  ]| mistaken.  A very little trouble$0$ on$4$ your side$0$ secures 
211:223,34[F  ]| him.  Perhaps just$5$ at present$0#1$ he may$1$ be undecided; 
211:223,35[F  ]| the smallness of your fortune may$1$ make$1$ him hang back$5$; 
211:223,36[F  ]| his friends may$1$ all advise him against it.  But some of 
211:223,37[F  ]| those little attentions and encouragements which$6#1$ ladies 
211:223,38[F  ]| can so$5#1$ easily give, will$1$ fix him, in$4$ spite$8$ of himself.  And 
211:224,01[F  ]| there can be no$2$ reason$0$ why you should not try for$4$ him. 
211:224,02[F  ]| It is not to$9$ be supposed that$3$ any prior attachment on$4$ 
211:224,03[F  ]| your side$0$ ~~ in$4$ short, you know as to$4$ an attachment of 
211:224,04[F  ]| that$6#2$ kind$0$, it is quite out$5$ of the question$0$, the objections 
211:224,05[F  ]| are insurmountable ~~ you have too$5#1$ much sense not to$9$ 
211:224,06[F  ]| see all that$6#2$.  $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon must be the man; and 
211:224,07[F  ]| no$2$ civility shall be wanting on$4$ my part$0$, to$9$ make$1$ him 
211:224,08[F  ]| pleased with you and your family.  It is a match$0$ that$6#1$ 
211:224,09[F  ]| must give universal satisfaction.  In$4$ short, it is a kind$0$ 
211:224,10[F  ]| of thing that$6#1$" ~~ 
211:224,10['  ]| lowering his voice to$4$ an important 
211:224,11['  ]| whisper$0$ ~~ 
211:224,11[F  ]| "will$1$ be exceedingly welcome$2$ to$4$ \all\ \parties\." 
211:224,12['  ]| Recollecting himself, however, he added, 
211:224,12[F  ]| "That$6#2$ is, 
211:224,13[F  ]| I mean$1$ to$9$ say ~~ your friends are all truly anxious to$9$ see 
211:224,14[F  ]| you well$5$ settled; $SS#G$Fanny particularly, for$3$ she has your 
211:224,15[F  ]| interest$0$ very much at heart, I assure you.  And her 
211:224,16[F  ]| mother too$5#2$, $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, a very good-natured woman, 
211:224,17[F  ]| I am sure it would give her great pleasure; she said 
211:224,18[F  ]| as much the other day." 
211:224,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor would not vouchsafe any answer$0$. 
211:224,20[F  ]| "It would be something remarkable now," 
211:224,20['  ]| he continued, 
211:224,21[F  ]| "something droll, if $SS#G$Fanny should have a brother 
211:224,22[F  ]| and I a sister settling at the same time.  And yet it is 
211:224,23[F  ]| not very unlikely." 
211:224,24[A  ]| "Is $SS#B$Mr%*Edward*Ferrars," 
211:224,24['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, with resolution, 
211:224,25[A  ]| "going to$9$ be married?" 
211:224,26[F  ]| "It is not actually settled, but there is such a thing in$4$ 
211:224,27[F  ]| agitation.  He has a most excellent mother.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, 
211:224,28[F  ]| with the utmost liberality, will$1$ come forward$5$, and settle 
211:224,29[F  ]| on$4$ him a thousand a-year, if the match$0$ takes place$0$. 
211:224,30[F  ]| The lady is the $SS#ZT1$Hon%*Miss*Morton, only daughter of the 
211:224,31[F  ]| late $SS#ZT$Lord*Morton, with thirty thousand pounds.  A very 
211:224,32[F  ]| desirable connection on$4$ both sides, and I have not 
211:224,33[F  ]| a doubt$0$ of its taking place$0$ in$4$ time.  A thousand a-year 
211:224,34[F  ]| is a great deal$0$ for$4$ a mother to$9$ give away, to$9$ make$1$ over 
211:224,35[F  ]| for*ever; but $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars has a noble spirit.  To$9$ give 
211:224,36[F  ]| you another instance$0$ of her liberality: ~~ The other day, 
211:224,37[F  ]| as soon as we came to$4$ town, aware that$3$ money could 
211:224,38[F  ]| not be very plenty with us just$5$ now, she put bank-notes 
211:225,01[F  ]| into $SS#G$Fanny's hands to$4$ the amount of two hundred 
211:225,02[F  ]| pounds.  And extremely acceptable it is, for$3$ we must 
211:225,03[F  ]| live at a great expense while$3$ we are here." 
211:225,04['  ]| He paused for$4$ her assent and compassion; and she 
211:225,05['  ]| forced herself to$9$ say, 
211:225,06[A  ]| "Your expenses both in$4$ town and country must 
211:225,07[A  ]| certainly be considerable, but your income is a large one." 
211:225,08[F  ]| "Not so$5#1$ large, I dare$1#2$ say, as many people suppose. 
211:225,09[F  ]| I do not mean$1$ to$9$ complain, however; it is undoubtedly 
211:225,10[F  ]| a comfortable one, and I hope$1$ will$1$ in$4$ time be better. 
211:225,11[F  ]| The inclosure of Norland*Common, now carrying on$5$, is 
211:225,12[F  ]| a most serious$2$ drain.  And then I have made a little 
211:225,13[F  ]| purchase$0$ within this half year; East*Kingham*Farm, 
211:225,14[F  ]| you must remember the place$0$, where old $SS#ZO$Gibson used 
211:225,15[F  ]| to$9$ live.  The land was so$5#1$ very desirable for$4$ me in$4$ every 
211:225,16[F  ]| respect$0$, so$5#1$ immediately adjoining my own$2$ property, that$3$ 
211:225,17[F  ]| I felt it my duty to$9$ buy it.  I could not have answered 
211:225,18[F  ]| it to$4$ my conscience to$9$ let it fall$1$ into any other hands. 
211:225,19[F  ]| A man must pay$1$ for$4$ his convenience; and it \has\ cost$1$ 
211:225,20[F  ]| me a vast deal$0$ of money." 
211:225,21[A  ]| "More than you think it really and intrinsically 
211:225,22[A  ]| worth." 
211:225,23[F  ]| "Why, I hope$1$ not that$6#2$.  I might have sold it again 
211:225,24[F  ]| the next day, for$4$ more than I gave:  but with regard$0$ 
211:225,25[F  ]| to$4$ the purchase-money, I might have been very unfortunate 
211:225,26[F  ]| indeed; for$3$ the stocks were at that$6#2$ time so$5#1$ low, 
211:225,27[F  ]| that$3$ if I had not happened to$9$ have the necessary sum 
211:225,28[F  ]| in$4$ my banker's hands, I must have sold out$5$ to$4$ very 
211:225,29[F  ]| great loss." 
211:225,30['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could only smile$1$. 
211:225,31[F  ]| "Other great and inevitable expenses too$5#2$ we have 
211:225,32[F  ]| had on$4$ first coming to$4$ Norland.  Our respected father, 
211:225,33[F  ]| as you well$5$ know, bequeathed all the Stanhill effects 
211:225,34[F  ]| that$6#1$ remained at Norland (and very valuable they were) 
211:225,35[F  ]| to$4$ your mother.  Far be it from me to$9$ repine at his 
211:225,36[F  ]| doing so$5#2$; he had an undoubted right$0$ to$9$ dispose of his 
211:225,37[F  ]| own$2$ property as he chose.  But, in$4$ consequence of it, 
211:225,38[F  ]| we have been obliged to$9$ make$1$ large purchases of linen, 
211:226,01[F  ]| china, &c% to$9$ supply$1$ the place$0$ of what was taken away. 
211:226,02[F  ]| You may$1$ guess$1$, after$4$ all these expenses, how very far 
211:226,03[F  ]| we must be from being$1$ rich, and how acceptable 
211:226,04[F  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's kindness is." 
211:226,05[A  ]| "Certainly," 
211:226,05['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor; 
211:226,05[A  ]| "and assisted by$4$ her 
211:226,06[A  ]| liberality, I hope$1$ you may$1$ yet live to$9$ be in$4$ easy circumstances." 
211:226,07[A  ]| 
211:226,08[F  ]| "Another year or two may$1$ do much towards it," 
211:226,08['  ]| he 
211:226,09['  ]| gravely replied; 
211:226,09[F  ]| "but however there is still$5$ a great 
211:226,10[F  ]| deal$0$ to$9$ be done.  There is not a stone laid of $SS#G$Fanny's 
211:226,11[F  ]| greenhouse, and nothing but the plan of the flower-garden 
211:226,12[F  ]| marked out$5$." 
211:226,13[A  ]| "Where is the green-house to$9$ be?" 
211:226,14[F  ]| "Upon$4$ the knoll behind the house.  The old walnut 
211:226,15[F  ]| trees are all come down$5$ to$9$ make$1$ room for$4$ it.  It will$1$ 
211:226,16[F  ]| be a very fine object$0$ from many parts of the park, and 
211:226,17[F  ]| the flower-garden will$1$ slope down$5$ just$5$ before$4$ it, and be 
211:226,18[F  ]| exceedingly pretty$2$.  We have cleared away all the old 
211:226,19[F  ]| thorns that$6#1$ grew in$4$ patches over the brow." 
211:226,20['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor kept her concern$0$ and her censure$0$ to$4$ herself; 
211:226,21['  ]| and was very thankful that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was not present$5$, 
211:226,22['  ]| to$9$ share$1$ the provocation. 
211:226,23['  ]| Having now said enough to$9$ make$1$ his poverty clear$2$, 
211:226,24['  ]| and to$9$ do away the necessity of buying a pair$0$ of ear-rings 
211:226,25['  ]| for$4$ each of his sisters, in$4$ his next visit$0$ at $SS#Z1$Gray's, his 
211:226,26['  ]| thoughts took a cheerfuller turn$0$, and he began to$9$ congratulate 
211:226,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor on$4$ having such a friend as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings. 
211:226,28[F  ]| "She seems a most valuable woman indeed. ~~ Her 
211:226,29[F  ]| house, her style of living, all bespeak an exceeding good 
211:226,30[F  ]| income; and it is an acquaintance that$6#1$ has not only 
211:226,31[F  ]| been of great use$0$ to$4$ you hitherto, but in$4$ the end$0$ may$1$ 
211:226,32[F  ]| prove materially advantageous. ~~ Her inviting you to$4$ 
211:226,33[F  ]| town is certainly a vast thing in$4$ your favour$0$; and 
211:226,34[F  ]| indeed, it speaks altogether so$5#1$ great a regard$0$ for$4$ you, 
211:226,35[F  ]| that$3$ in$4$ all probability when she dies you will$1$ not be 
211:226,36[F  ]| forgotten. ~~ She must have a great deal$0$ to$9$ leave$1$." 
211:226,37[A  ]| "Nothing at all, I should rather suppose; for$3$ she 
211:226,38[A  ]| has only her jointure, which$6#1$ will$1$ descend to$4$ her children." 
211:227,01[F  ]| "But it is not to$9$ be imagined that$3$ she lives$1$ up$5$ to$4$ her 
211:227,02[F  ]| income.  Few people of common$2$ prudence will$1$ do \that$6#2$\; 
211:227,03[F  ]| and whatever she saves, she will$1$ be able to$9$ dispose of." 
211:227,04[A  ]| "And do you not think it more likely that$3$ she should 
211:227,05[A  ]| leave$1$ it to$4$ her daughters, than to$4$ us?" 
211:227,06[F  ]| "Her daughters are both exceedingly well$5$ married, 
211:227,07[F  ]| and therefore I cannot perceive the necessity of her 
211:227,08[F  ]| remembering them farther.  Whereas, in$4$ my opinion, 
211:227,09[F  ]| by$4$ her taking so$5#1$ much notice$0$ of you, and treating you 
211:227,10[F  ]| in$4$ this kind$0$ of way, she has given you a sort of claim$0$ 
211:227,11[F  ]| on$4$ her future consideration, which$6#1$ a conscientious 
211:227,12[F  ]| woman would not disregard.  Nothing can be kinder 
211:227,13[F  ]| than her behaviour; and she can hardly do all this, 
211:227,14[F  ]| without being$1$ aware of the expectation she raises." 
211:227,15[A  ]| "But she raises none in$4$ those most concerned. 
211:227,16[A  ]| Indeed, brother, your anxiety for$4$ our welfare and 
211:227,17[A  ]| prosperity carries you too$5#1$ far." 
211:227,18[F  ]| "Why to$9$ be sure," 
211:227,18['  ]| said he, seeming to$9$ recollect 
211:227,19['  ]| himself, 
211:227,19[F  ]| "people have little, have very little in$4$ their 
211:227,20[F  ]| power.  But, my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Elinor, what is the matter with 
211:227,21[F  ]| $SS#C$Marianne? ~~ she looks$1$ very unwell, has lost her colour, 
211:227,22[F  ]| and is grown quite thin.  Is she ill?" 
211:227,23[A  ]| "She is not well$5$, she has had a nervous complaint 
211:227,24[A  ]| on$4$ her for$4$ several weeks." 
211:227,25[F  ]| "I am sorry for$4$ that$6#2$.  At her time of life, any*thing 
211:227,26[F  ]| of an illness destroys the bloom for*ever!  Her's has 
211:227,27[F  ]| been a very short one!  She was as handsome a girl 
211:227,28[F  ]| last$2$ September, as any I ever saw; and as likely to$9$ 
211:227,29[F  ]| attract the men.  There was something in$4$ her style of 
211:227,30[F  ]| beauty, to$9$ please them particularly.  I remember $SS#G$Fanny 
211:227,31[F  ]| used to$9$ say that$3$ she would marry sooner and better 
211:227,32[F  ]| than you did; not but what she is exceedingly fond of 
211:227,33[F  ]| \you\, but so$5#2$ it happened to$9$ strike her.  She will$1$ be 
211:227,34[F  ]| mistaken, however.  I question$1$ whether $SS#C$Marianne \now\, 
211:227,35[F  ]| will$1$ marry a man worth more than five or six hundred 
211:227,36[F  ]| a-year, at the utmost, and I am very much deceived if 
211:227,37[F  ]| \you\ do not do better.  Dorsetshire!  I know very little of 
211:227,38[F  ]| Dorsetshire; but, my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Elinor, I shall be exceedingly 
211:228,01[F  ]| glad to$9$ know more of it; and I think I can answer$1$ 
211:228,02[F  ]| for$4$ your having $SS#G$Fanny and myself among the earliest 
211:228,03[F  ]| and best pleased of your visitors." 
211:228,04['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor tried very seriously to$9$ convince him that$3$ there 
211:228,05['  ]| was no$2$ likelihood of her marrying $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon; but 
211:228,06['  ]| it was an expectation of too$5#1$ much pleasure to$4$ himself 
211:228,07['  ]| to$9$ be relinquished, and he was really resolved on$4$ seeking 
211:228,08['  ]| an intimacy with that$6#2$ gentleman, and promoting the 
211:228,09['  ]| marriage by$4$ every possible attention.  He had just$5$ 
211:228,10['  ]| compunction enough for$4$ having done nothing for$4$ his 
211:228,11['  ]| sisters himself, to$9$ be exceedingly anxious that$3$ everybody 
211:228,12['  ]| else should do a great deal$0$; and an offer$0$ from 
211:228,13['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, or a legacy from $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, was 
211:228,14['  ]| the easiest means$0$ of atoning for$4$ his own$2$ neglect$0$. 
211:228,15['  ]| They were lucky enough to$9$ find $SS#M$Lady*Middleton at 
211:228,16['  ]| home, and $SS#L$Sir*John came in$5$ before$3$ their visit$0$ ended. 
211:228,17['  ]| Abundance of civilities passed on$4$ all sides.  $SS#L$Sir*John 
211:228,18['  ]| was ready to$9$ like$1$ anybody, and though $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood 
211:228,19['  ]| did not seem to$9$ know much about$4$ horses, he soon set$1$ 
211:228,20['  ]| him down$5$ as a very good-natured fellow:  while$3$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
211:228,21['  ]| saw enough of fashion$0$ in$4$ his appearance, to$9$ 
211:228,22['  ]| think his acquaintance worth having; and $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood 
211:228,23['  ]| went away delighted with both. 
211:228,24[F  ]| "I shall have a charming account$0$ to$9$ carry to$4$ $SS#G$Fanny," 
211:228,25['  ]| said he, as he walked back$5$ with his sister. 
211:228,25[F  ]| "$SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
211:228,26[F  ]| is really a most elegant woman!  Such 
211:228,27[F  ]| a woman as I am sure $SS#G$Fanny will$1$ be glad to$9$ know. 
211:228,28[F  ]| And $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings too$5#2$, an exceeding well-behaved 
211:228,29[F  ]| woman, though not so$5#1$ elegant as her daughter.  Your 
211:228,30[F  ]| sister need$1$ not have any scruple$0$ even$5$ of visiting \her\, 
211:228,31[F  ]| which$6#1$, to$9$ say the truth, has been a little the case, and 
211:228,32[F  ]| very naturally; for$3$ we only knew that$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
211:228,33[F  ]| was the widow of a man who$6#1$ had got all his money in$4$ 
211:228,34[F  ]| a low way; and $SS#G$Fanny and $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars were both 
211:228,35[F  ]| strongly prepossessed that$3$ neither she nor her daughters 
211:228,36[F  ]| were such kind$0$ of women as $SS#G$Fanny would like$1$ to$9$ associate$1$ 
211:228,37[F  ]| with.  But now I can carry her a most satisfactory 
211:228,38[F  ]| account$0$ of both." 
212:229,01['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood had so$5#1$ much confidence in$4$ her 
212:229,02['  ]| husband's judgment that$3$ she waited the very next day 
212:229,03['  ]| both on$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings and her daughter; and her 
212:229,04['  ]| confidence was rewarded by$4$ finding even$5$ the former, 
212:229,05['  ]| even$5$ the woman with whom$6#1$ her sisters were staying, 
212:229,06['  ]| by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ unworthy her notice$0$; and as for$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
212:229,07['  ]| she found her 
212:229,07@g   | one of the most charming 
212:229,08@g   | women in$4$ the world! 
212:229,09['  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was equally pleased with $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood. 
212:229,10['  ]| There was a kind$0$ of cold*hearted selfishness on$4$ 
212:229,11['  ]| both sides, which$6#1$ mutually attracted them; and they 
212:229,12['  ]| sympathised with each other in$4$ an insipid propriety of 
212:229,13['  ]| demeanour, and a general$2$ want$0$ of understanding. 
212:229,14['  ]| The same manners however, which$6#1$ recommended 
212:229,15['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood to$4$ the good opinion of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
212:229,16['  ]| did not suit$1$ the fancy$0$ of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, and 
212:229,17['  ]| to$4$ \her\ she appeared nothing more than a little proud-looking 
212:229,18['  ]| woman of uncordial address$0$, who$6#1$ met her 
212:229,19['  ]| husband's sisters without any affection, and almost 
212:229,20['  ]| without having any*thing to$9$ say to$4$ them; for$3$ of the 
212:229,21['  ]| quarter$0#1$ of an hour bestowed on$4$ Berkeley-street, she sat 
212:229,22['  ]| at least seven minutes and a half in$4$ silence$0$. 
212:229,23['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor wanted very much to$9$ know, though she did 
212:229,24['  ]| not chuse to$9$ ask, whether $SS#B$Edward was then in$4$ town; 
212:229,25['  ]| but nothing would have induced $SS#G$Fanny voluntarily to$9$ 
212:229,26['  ]| mention$1$ his name$0$ before$4$ her, till able to$9$ tell her that$3$ 
212:229,27['  ]| his marriage with $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton was resolved on$5$, or till 
212:229,28['  ]| her husband's expectations on$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon were 
212:229,29['  ]| answered; because she believed them still$5$ so$5#1$ very much 
212:229,30['  ]| attached to$4$ each other, that$3$ they could not be too$5#1$ 
212:229,31['  ]| sedulously divided in$4$ word and deed on$4$ every occasion$0$. 
212:229,32['  ]| The intelligence however, which$6#1$ \she\ would not give soon 
212:229,33['  ]| flowed from another quarter$0#2$.  $SS#Q$Lucy came very shortly 
212:230,01['  ]| to$9$ claim$1$ $SS#A$Elinor's compassion on$4$ being$1$ unable to$9$ see 
212:230,02['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, though he had arrived in$4$ town with $SS#F$Mr% and 
212:230,03['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood.  
212:230,03@q   | He dared not come to$4$ Bartlett's*Buildings 
212:230,04@q   | for$4$ fear$0$ of detection, and though their mutual 
212:230,05@q   | impatience to$9$ meet$1$, was not to$9$ be told, they could do 
212:230,06@q   | nothing at present$0#1$ but write. 
212:230,07['  ]| $SS#B$Edward assured them himself of his being$1$ in$4$ town, 
212:230,08['  ]| within a very short time, by$4$ twice calling in$4$ Berkeley-street. 
212:230,09['  ]| Twice was his card found on$4$ the table, when 
212:230,10['  ]| they returned from their morning's engagements.  $SS#A$Elinor 
212:230,11['  ]| was pleased that$3$ he had called; and still$5$ more pleased 
212:230,12['  ]| that$3$ she had missed him. 
212:230,13['  ]| The $SS#F1$Dashwoods were so$5#1$ prodigiously delighted with 
212:230,14['  ]| the $SS#L1$Middletons, that$3$ though not much in$4$ the habit of 
212:230,15['  ]| giving any*thing, they determined to$9$ give them ~~ 
212:230,16['  ]| a dinner; and soon after$3$ their acquaintance began, 
212:230,17['  ]| invited them to$9$ dine in$4$ Harley-street, where they had 
212:230,18['  ]| taken a very good house for$4$ three months.  Their sisters 
212:230,19['  ]| and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings were invited likewise, and $SS#F$John*Dashwood 
212:230,20['  ]| was careful to$9$ secure$1$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, who$6#1$, 
212:230,21['  ]| always glad to$9$ be where the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods were, 
212:230,22['  ]| received his eager civilities with some surprise$0$, but much 
212:230,23['  ]| more pleasure.  They were to$9$ meet$1$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars; but 
212:230,24['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not learn whether her sons were to$9$ be of 
212:230,25['  ]| the party.  The expectation of seeing \her\, however, was 
212:230,26['  ]| enough to$9$ make$1$ her interested in$4$ the engagement; for$3$ 
212:230,27['  ]| though she could now meet$1$ $SS#B$Edward's mother without 
212:230,28['  ]| that$6#2$ strong anxiety which$6#1$ had once promised to$9$ attend 
212:230,29['  ]| such an introduction, though she could now see her with 
212:230,30['  ]| perfect$2$ indifference as to$4$ her opinion of herself, her 
212:230,31['  ]| desire$0$ of being$1$ in$4$ company with $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, her 
212:230,32['  ]| curiosity to$9$ know what she was like$4$, was as lively 
212:230,33['  ]| as ever. 
212:230,34['  ]| The interest$0$ with which$6#1$ she thus anticipated the 
212:230,35['  ]| party, was soon afterwards increased, more powerfully 
212:230,36['  ]| than pleasantly, by$4$ her hearing that$3$ the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles 
212:230,37['  ]| were also to$9$ be at it. 
212:230,38['  ]| So$5#1$ well$5$ had they recommended themselves to$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
212:231,01['  ]| so$5#1$ agreeable had their assiduities made them 
212:231,02['  ]| to$4$ her, that$3$ though $SS#Q$Lucy was certainly not elegant, and 
212:231,03['  ]| her sister not even$5$ genteel, she was as ready as $SS#L$Sir*John 
212:231,04['  ]| to$9$ ask them to$9$ spend a week or two in$4$ Conduit-street: 
212:231,05['  ]| and it happened to$9$ be particularly convenient to$4$ the 
212:231,06['  ]| $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, as soon as the $SS#F1$Dashwoods' invitation was 
212:231,07['  ]| known, that$3$ their visit$0$ should begin a few days before$3$ 
212:231,08['  ]| the party took place$0$. 
212:231,09['  ]| Their claims to$4$ the notice$0$ of $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood, 
212:231,10['  ]| as the nieces of the gentleman who$6#1$ for$4$ many years had 
212:231,11['  ]| had the care$0$ of her brother, might not have done much, 
212:231,12['  ]| however, towards procuring them seats at her table; 
212:231,13['  ]| but as $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's guests they must be welcome$2$; 
212:231,14['  ]| and $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ had long wanted to$9$ be personally known 
212:231,15['  ]| to$4$ the family, to$9$ have a nearer view$0$ of their characters 
212:231,16['  ]| and her own$2$ difficulties, and to$9$ have an opportunity of 
212:231,17['  ]| endeavouring to$9$ please them, had seldom been happier 
212:231,18['  ]| in$4$ her life than she was on$4$ receiving $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood's 
212:231,19['  ]| card. 
212:231,20['  ]| On$4$ $SS#A$Elinor its effect$0$ was very different.  She began 
212:231,21['  ]| immediately to$9$ determine that$3$ 
212:231,21@a   | $SS#B$Edward who$6#1$ lived with 
212:231,22@a   | his mother, must be asked as his mother was, to$4$ a party 
212:231,23@a   | given by$4$ his sister; and to$9$ see him for$4$ the first time 
212:231,24@a   | after$4$ all that$6#1$ passed, in$4$ the company of $SS#Q$Lucy! ~~ she 
212:231,25@a   | hardly knew how she could bear$1$ it! 
212:231,26['  ]| These apprehensions perhaps were not founded entirely 
212:231,27['  ]| on$4$ reason$0$, and certainly not at all on$4$ truth.  They were 
212:231,28['  ]| relieved however, not by$4$ her own$2$ recollection, but by$4$ 
212:231,29['  ]| the good*will of $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ believed herself to$9$ be inflicting 
212:231,30['  ]| a severe disappointment when she told her that$3$ 
212:231,30@q   | $SS#B$Edward 
212:231,31@q   | certainly would not be in$4$ Harley-street on$4$ Tuesday, 
212:231,31['  ]| and 
212:231,32['  ]| even$5$ hoped to$9$ be carrying the pain$0$ still$5$ farther by$4$ 
212:231,33['  ]| persuading her, that$3$ 
212:231,33@q   |he was kept away by$4$ that$6#2$ extreme$2$ 
212:231,34@q   | affection for$4$ herself, which$6#1$ he could not conceal when 
212:231,35@q   | they were together. 
212:231,36['  ]| The important Tuesday came that$6#1$ was to$9$ introduce 
212:231,37['  ]| the two young ladies to$4$ this formidable mother-in-law. 
212:231,38[Q  ]| "Pity$1$ me, dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood!" 
212:231,38['  ]| said $SS#Q$Lucy, as 
212:232,01['  ]| they walked up$4$ the stairs together ~~ for$3$ the $SS#L1$Middletons 
212:232,02['  ]| arrived so$5#1$ directly after$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, that$3$ they all 
212:232,03['  ]| followed the servant at the same time ~~ 
212:232,03[Q  ]| "There is 
212:232,04[Q  ]| nobody here but you, that$6#1$ can feel for$4$ me. ~~ I declare 
212:232,05[Q  ]| I can hardly stand$1$.  Good gracious! ~~ In$4$ a moment 
212:232,06[Q  ]| I shall see the person that$6#1$ all my happiness depends 
212:232,07[Q  ]| on$4$ ~~ that$6#1$ is to$9$ be my mother!" ~~ 
212:232,08['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could have given her immediate relief by$4$ 
212:232,09['  ]| suggesting the possibility of its being$1$ $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton's 
212:232,10['  ]| mother, rather than her own$2$, whom$6#1$ they were about$4$ 
212:232,11['  ]| to$9$ behold; but instead of doing that$6#2$, she assured her, 
212:232,12['  ]| and with great sincerity, that$3$ she did pity$1$ her, ~~ to$4$ the 
212:232,13['  ]| utter$2$ amazement of $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$, though really uncomfortable 
212:232,14['  ]| herself, hoped at least to$9$ be an object$0$ of 
212:232,15['  ]| irrepressible envy$0$ to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor. 
212:232,16['  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars was a little, thin woman, upright, even$5$
212:232,17['  ]| to$4$ formality, in$4$ her figure, and serious$2$, even$5$ to$4$ sourness, 
212:232,18['  ]| in$4$ her aspect.  Her complexion was sallow; and her 
212:232,19['  ]| features small, without beauty, and naturally without 
212:232,20['  ]| expression; but a lucky contraction of the brow had 
212:232,21['  ]| rescued her countenance from the disgrace$0$ of insipidity, 
212:232,22['  ]| by$4$ giving it the strong characters of pride and ill*nature. 
212:232,23['  ]| She was not a woman of many words:  for$3$, unlike people 
212:232,24['  ]| in$4$ general$0$, she proportioned them to$4$ the number of her 
212:232,25['  ]| ideas; and of the few syllables that$6#1$ did escape$1$ her, not 
212:232,26['  ]| one fell to$4$ the share$0$ of $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, whom$6#1$ she eyed 
212:232,27['  ]| with the spirited determination of disliking her at all 
212:232,28['  ]| events. 
212:232,29['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not \now\ be made unhappy by$4$ this 
212:232,30['  ]| behaviour. ~~ A few months ago it would have hurt her 
212:232,31['  ]| exceedingly; but it was not in$4$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's power to$9$ 
212:232,32['  ]| distress$1$ her by$4$ it now; ~~ and the difference of her 
212:232,33['  ]| manners to$4$ the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, a difference which$6#1$ seemed 
212:232,34['  ]| purposely made to$9$ humble$1$ her more, only amused her. 
212:232,35['  ]| She could not but smile$1$ to$9$ see the graciousness of both 
212:232,36['  ]| mother and daughter towards the very person ~~ for$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy 
212:232,37['  ]| was particularly distinguished ~~ whom$6#1$ of all others, had 
212:232,38['  ]| they known as much as she did, they would have been 
212:233,01['  ]| most anxious to$9$ mortify; while$3$ she herself, who$6#1$ had 
212:233,02['  ]| comparatively no$2$ power to$9$ wound$1#2$ them, sat pointedly 
212:233,03['  ]| slighted by$4$ both.  But while$3$ she smiled at a graciousness 
212:233,04['  ]| so$5#1$ misapplied, she could not reflect on$4$ the mean-spirited 
212:233,05['  ]| folly from which$6#1$ it sprung, nor observe the studied 
212:233,06['  ]| attentions with which$6#1$ the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles courted its continuance, 
212:233,07['  ]| without thoroughly despising them all four. 
212:233,08['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy was all exultation on$4$ being$1$ so$5#1$ honourably 
212:233,09['  ]| distinguished; and $SS#P$Miss*Steele wanted only to$9$ be teazed 
212:233,10['  ]| about$4$ $SS#ZJ$Dr%*Davis to$9$ be perfectly happy. 
212:233,11['  ]| The dinner was a grand one, the servants were 
212:233,12['  ]| numerous, and every*thing bespoke the Mistress's 
212:233,13['  ]| inclination for$4$ shew$0$, and the Master's ability to$9$ support$1$ 
212:233,14['  ]| it.  In$4$ spite$8$ of the improvements and additions which$6#1$ 
212:233,15['  ]| were making to$4$ the Norland estate, and in$4$ spite$8$ of its 
212:233,16['  ]| owner having once been within some thousand pounds 
212:233,17['  ]| of being$1$ obliged to$9$ sell out$5$ at a loss, nothing gave any 
212:233,18['  ]| symptom of that$6#2$ indigence which$6#1$ he had tried to$9$ infer 
212:233,19['  ]| from it; ~~ no$2$ poverty of any kind$0$, except of conversation, 
212:233,20['  ]| appeared ~~ but there, the deficiency was considerable. 
212:233,21['  ]| $SS#F$John*Dashwood had not much to$9$ say for$4$ himself 
212:233,22['  ]| that$3$ was worth hearing, and his wife had still$5$ less.  But 
212:233,23['  ]| there was no$2$ peculiar disgrace$0$ in$4$ this, for$3$ it was very 
212:233,24['  ]| much the case with the chief of their visitors, who$6#1$ almost 
212:233,25['  ]| all laboured under one or other of these disqualifications 
212:233,26['  ]| for$4$ being$1$ agreeable ~~ Want$0$ of sense, either natural$2$ or 
212:233,27['  ]| improved ~~ want$0$ of elegance ~~ want$0$ of spirits ~~ or want$0$ 
212:233,28['  ]| of temper. 
212:233,29['  ]| When the ladies withdrew to$4$ the drawing-room after$4$ 
212:233,30['  ]| dinner, this poverty was particularly evident, for$3$ the 
212:233,31['  ]| gentlemen \had\ supplied the discourse with some variety 
212:233,32['  ]| ~~ the variety of politics, inclosing land, and breaking 
212:233,33['  ]| horses ~~ but then it was all over; and one subject$0$ only 
212:233,34['  ]| engaged the ladies till coffee came in$5$, which$6#1$ was the 
212:233,35['  ]| comparative heights of $SS#G1$Harry*Dashwood, and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's 
212:233,36['  ]| second$2$ son $SS#M3$William, who$6#1$ were nearly of the 
212:233,37['  ]| same age. 
212:233,38['  ]| Had both the children been there, the affair might 
212:234,01['  ]| have been determined too$5#1$ easily by$4$ measuring them at 
212:234,02['  ]| once; but as $SS#G1$Harry only was present$5$, it was all conjectural 
212:234,03['  ]| assertion on$4$ both sides, and every*body had 
212:234,04['  ]| a right$0$ to$9$ be equally positive in$4$ their opinion, and to$9$ 
212:234,05['  ]| repeat it over and over again as often as they liked. 
212:234,06['  ]| The parties stood thus: 
212:234,07['  ]| The two mothers, though each really convinced that$3$ 
212:234,08['  ]| her own$2$ son was the tallest, politely decided in$4$ favour$0$ 
212:234,09['  ]| of the other. 
212:234,10['  ]| The two grandmothers, with not less partiality, but 
212:234,11['  ]| more sincerity, were equally earnest in$4$ support$0$ of their 
212:234,12['  ]| own$2$ descendant. 
212:234,13['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ was hardly less anxious to$9$ please one 
212:234,14['  ]| parent than the other, thought$1$ the boys were both 
212:234,15['  ]| remarkably tall for$4$ their age, and could not conceive 
212:234,16['  ]| that$3$ there could be the smallest difference in$4$ the world 
212:234,17['  ]| between them; and $SS#P$Miss*Steele, with yet greater address$0$ 
212:234,18['  ]| gave it, as fast as she could, in$4$ favour$0$ of each. 
212:234,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, having once delivered her opinion on$4$ $SS#M3$William's 
212:234,20['  ]| side$0$, by$4$ which$6#1$ she offended $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars and $SS#G$Fanny still$5$ 
212:234,21['  ]| more, did not see the necessity of enforcing it by$4$ any 
212:234,22['  ]| farther assertion; and $SS#C$Marianne, when called on$5$ for$4$ 
212:234,23['  ]| her's, offended them all, by$4$ declaring that$3$ 
212:234,23@c   | she had no$2$ 
212:234,24@c   | opinion to$9$ give, as she had never thought$1$ about$4$ it. 
212:234,25['  ]| Before$4$ her removing from Norland, $SS#A$Elinor had painted 
212:234,26['  ]| a very pretty$2$ pair$0$ of screens for$4$ her sister-in-law, which$6#1$ 
212:234,27['  ]| being$1$ now just$5$ mounted and brought home, ornamented 
212:234,28['  ]| her present$2$ drawing*room; and these screens, catching 
212:234,29['  ]| the eye of $SS#F$John*Dashwood on$4$ his following the other 
212:234,30['  ]| gentlemen into the room, were officiously handed by$4$ him 
212:234,31['  ]| to$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon for$4$ his admiration. 
212:234,32[F  ]| "These are done by$4$ my eldest sister," 
212:234,32['  ]| said he; 
212:234,32[F  ]| "and 
212:234,33[F  ]| you, as a man of taste, will$1$, I dare$1#2$ say, be pleased with 
212:234,34[F  ]| them.  I do not know whether you ever happened to$9$ 
212:234,35[F  ]| see any of her performances before$5$, but she is in$4$ general$0$ 
212:234,36[F  ]| reckoned to$9$ draw extremely well$5$." 
212:234,37['  ]| The $SS#H$Colonel, though disclaiming all pretensions to$4$ connoisseurship, 
212:234,38['  ]| warmly admired the screens, as he would 
212:235,01['  ]| have done any*thing painted by$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood; and 
212:235,02['  ]| the curiosity of the others being$1$ of course$8$ excited, they 
212:235,03['  ]| were handed round$5$ for$4$ general$2$ inspection.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, 
212:235,04['  ]| not aware of their being$1$ $SS#A$Elinor's work$0$, particularly 
212:235,05['  ]| requested to$9$ look$1$ at them; and after$3$ they had received 
212:235,06['  ]| the gratifying testimony of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's approbation, 
212:235,07['  ]| $SS#G$Fanny presented them to$4$ her mother, considerately 
212:235,08['  ]| informing her at the same time, that$3$ they were done by$4$ 
212:235,09['  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood. 
212:235,10[I  ]| "Hum" ~~ 
212:235,10['  ]| said $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars ~~ 
212:235,10[I  ]| "very pretty$2$," ~~ 
212:235,10['  ]| and 
212:235,11['  ]| without regarding them at all, returned them to$4$ her 
212:235,12['  ]| daughter. 
212:235,13['  ]| Perhaps $SS#G$Fanny thought$1$ for$4$ a moment that$3$ her mother 
212:235,14['  ]| had been quite rude enough, ~~ for$3$, colouring a little, she 
212:235,15['  ]| immediately said, 
212:235,16[G  ]| "They are very pretty$2$, ma'am ~~ an't they?" 
212:235,16['  ]| But 
212:235,17['  ]| then again, the dread$0$ of having been too$5#1$ civil, too$5#1$ 
212:235,18['  ]| encouraging herself, probably came over her, for$3$ she 
212:235,19['  ]| presently added, 
212:235,20[G  ]| "Do you not think they are something in$4$ $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton's 
212:235,21[G  ]| style of painting, ma'am? ~~ \She\ \does\ paint 
212:235,22[G  ]| most delightfully! ~~ How beautifully her last$2$ landscape 
212:235,23[G  ]| is done!" 
212:235,24[I  ]| "Beautifully indeed!  But she \does\ every*thing 
212:235,25[I  ]| well$5$." 
212:235,26['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne could not bear$1$ this. ~~ She was already greatly 
212:235,27['  ]| displeased with $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars; and such ill-timed praise$0$ 
212:235,28['  ]| of another, at $SS#A$Elinor's expense, though she had not any 
212:235,29['  ]| notion of what was principally meant by$4$ it, provoked 
212:235,30['  ]| her immediately to$9$ say with warmth, 
212:235,31[C  ]| "This is admiration of a very particular kind$0$! ~~ what 
212:235,32[C  ]| is $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton to$4$ us? ~~ who$6#2$ knows, or who$6#2$ cares$1$, for$4$ 
212:235,33[C  ]| her? ~~ it is $SS#A$Elinor of whom$6#1$ \we\ think and speak." 
212:235,34['  ]| And so$5#2$ saying, she took the screens out$5$ of her sister-in-law's 
212:235,35['  ]| hands, to$9$ admire them herself as they ought to$9$ 
212:235,36['  ]| be admired. 
212:235,37['  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars looked exceedingly angry, and drawing 
212:235,38['  ]| herself up$5$ more stiffly than ever, pronounced in$4$ retort 
212:236,01['  ]| this bitter phillippic; 
212:236,01[I  ]| "$SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton is $SS#ZT$Lord*Morton's 
212:236,02[I  ]| daughter." 
212:236,03['  ]| $SS#G$Fanny looked very angry too$5#2$, and her husband was 
212:236,04['  ]| all in$4$ a fright at his sister's audacity.  $SS#A$Elinor was much 
212:236,05['  ]| more hurt by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's warmth, than she had been 
212:236,06['  ]| by$4$ what produced it; but $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's eyes, as 
212:236,07['  ]| they were fixed on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, declared that$3$ he noticed 
212:236,08['  ]| only what was amiable in$4$ it, the affectionate heart which$6#1$ 
212:236,09['  ]| could not bear$1$ to$9$ see a sister slighted in$4$ the smallest 
212:236,10['  ]| point$0$. 
212:236,11['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's feelings did not stop$1$ here.  The cold$2$ 
212:236,12['  ]| insolence of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's general$2$ behaviour to$4$ her 
212:236,13['  ]| sister, seemed, to$4$ her, to$9$ foretel such difficulties and 
212:236,14['  ]| distresses to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, as her own$2$ wounded heart taught 
212:236,15['  ]| her to$9$ think of with horror; and urged by$4$ a strong 
212:236,16['  ]| impulse of affectionate sensibility, she moved, after$4$ 
212:236,17['  ]| a moment, to$4$ her sister's chair, and putting one arm$0$ 
212:236,18['  ]| round$4$ her neck, and one cheek close$5$ to$4$ her's, said in$4$ 
212:236,19['  ]| a low, but eager, voice, 
212:236,20[C  ]| "Dear$2#1$, dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Elinor, don't mind$1$ them.  Don't let 
212:236,21[C  ]| them make$1$ \you\ unhappy." 
212:236,22['  ]| She could say no$2$ more; her spirits were quite overcome, 
212:236,23['  ]| and hiding her face$0$ on$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's shoulder, she burst$1$ 
212:236,24['  ]| into tears. ~~ Every*body's attention was called, and 
212:236,25['  ]| almost every*body was concerned. ~~ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
212:236,26['  ]| rose$1$ up$5$ and went to$4$ them without knowing what he 
212:236,27['  ]| did. ~~ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, with a very intelligent 
212:236,27[K  ]| "Ah! poor 
212:236,28[K  ]| dear$2#1$," 
212:236,28['  ]| immediately gave her, her salts; and $SS#L$Sir*John 
212:236,29['  ]| felt so$5#1$ desperately enraged against the author of this 
212:236,30['  ]| nervous distress$0$, that$3$ he instantly changed his seat to$4$ 
212:236,31['  ]| one close$5$ by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele, and gave her, in$4$ a whisper$0$, 
212:236,32['  ]| a brief account$0$ of the whole$2$ shocking affair. 
212:236,33['  ]| In$4$ a few minutes, however, $SS#C$Marianne was recovered 
212:236,34['  ]| enough to$9$ put an end$0$ to$4$ the bustle$0$, and sit down$5$ among 
212:236,35['  ]| the rest$0#1$; though her spirits retained the impression of 
212:236,36['  ]| what had passed, the whole$2$ evening. 
212:236,37[F  ]| "Poor $SS#C$Marianne!" 
212:236,37['  ]| said her brother to$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
212:236,38['  ]| in$4$ a low voice, as soon as he could secure$1$ his 
212:237,01['  ]| attention, ~~ 
212:237,01[F  ]| "She has not such good*health as her sister, 
212:237,02[F  ]| ~~ she is very nervous, ~~ she has not $SS#A$Elinor's constitution; 
212:237,03[F  ]| ~~ and one must allow that$3$ there is something very 
212:237,04[F  ]| trying to$4$ a young woman who$6#1$ \has\ \been\ a beauty, in$4$ the 
212:237,05[F  ]| loss of her personal attractions.  You would not think 
212:237,06[F  ]| it perhaps, but $SS#C$Marianne \was\ remarkably handsome 
212:237,07[F  ]| a few months ago; quite as handsome as $SS#A$Elinor. ~~ Now 
212:237,08[F  ]| you see it is all gone." 
213:238,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's curiosity to$9$ see $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars was satisfied. ~~ 
213:238,02['  ]| She had found in$4$ her every*thing that$6#1$ could tend to$9$ ~~ 
213:238,03['  ]| make$1$ a farther connection between the families, undesirable. ~~ 
213:238,04@a   | She had seen enough of her pride, her meanness, 
213:238,05@a   | and her determined prejudice against herself, to$9$ comprehend 
213:238,06@a   | all the difficulties that$6#1$ must have perplexed the 
213:238,07@a   | engagement, and retarded the marriage, of $SS#B$Edward and 
213:238,08@a   | herself, had he been otherwise free; ~~ and she had seen 
213:238,09@a   | almost enough to$9$ be thankful for$4$ her \own$2$\ sake, that$3$ one 
213:238,10@a   | greater obstacle preserved her from suffering under any 
213:238,11@a   | other of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's creation, preserved her from all 
213:238,12@a   | dependence upon$4$ her caprice, or any solicitude for$4$ her 
213:238,13@a   | good opinion. 
213:238,13['  ]| Or at least, if she did not bring herself 
213:238,14['  ]| quite to$9$ rejoice in$4$ $SS#B$Edward's being$1$ fettered to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, she 
213:238,15['  ]| determined, that$3$ had $SS#Q$Lucy been more amiable, she \ought\ 
213:238,16['  ]| to$9$ have rejoiced. 
213:238,17['  ]| She wondered that$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy's spirits could be so$5#1$ very 
213:238,18['  ]| much elevated by$4$ the civility of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars; ~~ that$3$ 
213:238,19['  ]| her interest$0$ and her vanity should so$5#1$ very much blind$1$ 
213:238,20['  ]| her, as to$9$ make$1$ the attention which$6#1$ seemed only paid 
213:238,21['  ]| her because she was \not\ \$SS#A$Elinor\, appear a compliment$0$ to$4$ 
213:238,22['  ]| herself ~~ or to$9$ allow her to$9$ derive encouragement from 
213:238,23['  ]| a preference only given her, because her real situation 
213:238,24['  ]| was unknown.  But that$6#2$ it was so$5#2$, had not only been 
213:238,25['  ]| declared by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy's eyes at the time, but was declared 
213:238,26['  ]| over again the next morning more openly, for$3$ at her 
213:238,27['  ]| particular desire$0$, $SS#M$Lady*Middleton set$1$ her down$5$ in$4$ 
213:238,28['  ]| Berkeley-street on$4$ the chance$0$ of seeing $SS#A$Elinor alone, to$9$ 
213:238,29['  ]| tell her how happy she was. 
213:238,30['  ]| The chance$0$ proved a lucky one, for$3$ a message from 
213:238,31['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer soon after$3$ she arrived, carried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
213:238,32['  ]| away. 
213:238,33[Q  ]| "My dear$2#1$ friend," 
213:238,33['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy as soon as they were 
213:239,01['  ]| by$4$ themselves, 
213:239,01[Q  ]| "I come to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$ you of my happiness. 
213:239,02[Q  ]| Could any*thing be so$5#1$ flattering as $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's way 
213:239,03[Q  ]| of treating me yesterday?  So$5#1$ exceeding affable as she 
213:239,04[Q  ]| was! ~~ You know how I dreaded the thoughts of seeing 
213:239,05[Q  ]| her; ~~ but the very moment I was introduced, there was 
213:239,06[Q  ]| such an affability in$4$ her behaviour as really should seem 
213:239,07[Q  ]| to$9$ say, she had quite took a fancy$0$ to$4$ me.  Now was not 
213:239,08[Q  ]| it so$5#2$? ~~ You saw it all; and was not you quite struck 
213:239,09[Q  ]| with it?" 
213:239,10[A  ]| "She was certainly very civil to$4$ you." 
213:239,11[Q  ]| "Civil! ~~ Did you see nothing but only civility? ~~ 
213:239,12[Q  ]| I saw a vast deal$0$ more.  Such kindness as fell to$4$ the 
213:239,13[Q  ]| share$0$ of nobody but me! ~~ No$2$ pride, no$2$ hauteur, and 
213:239,14[Q  ]| your sister just$5$ the same ~~ all sweetness and affability!" 
213:239,15['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor wished to$9$ talk$1$ of something else, but $SS#Q$Lucy still$5$ 
213:239,16['  ]| pressed her to$9$ own$1$ that$3$ she had reason$0$ for$4$ her happiness; 
213:239,17['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor was obliged to$9$ go on$5$. ~~ 
213:239,18[A  ]| "Undoubtedly, if they had known your engagement," 
213:239,19['  ]| said she, 
213:239,19[A  ]| "nothing could be more flattering 
213:239,20[A  ]| than their treatment of you; ~~ but as that$6#2$ was not the 
213:239,21[A  ]| case" ~~ 
213:239,22[Q  ]| "I guessed you would say so$5#2$" ~~ 
213:239,22['  ]| replied $SS#Q$Lucy quickly ~~ 
213:239,23[Q  ]| "but there was no$2$ reason$0$ in$4$ the world why $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars 
213:239,24[Q  ]| should seem to$9$ like$1$ me, if she did not, and her liking 
213:239,25[Q  ]| me is every*thing.  You shan't talk$1$ me out$5$ of my 
213:239,26[Q  ]| satisfaction.  I am sure it will$1$ all end$1$ well$5$, and there 
213:239,27[Q  ]| will$1$ be no$2$ difficulties at all, to$4$ what I used to$9$ think. 
213:239,28[Q  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars is a charming woman, and so$5#2$ is your sister. 
213:239,29[Q  ]| They are both delightful women indeed! ~~ I wonder$1$ 
213:239,30[Q  ]| I should never hear you say how agreeable $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood 
213:239,31[Q  ]| was!" 
213:239,32['  ]| To$4$ this, $SS#A$Elinor had no$2$ answer$0$ to$9$ make$1$, and did not 
213:239,33['  ]| attempt$1$ any. 
213:239,34[Q  ]| "Are you ill, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood? ~~ you seem low ~~ you 
213:239,35[Q  ]| don't speak; ~~ sure you an't well$5$." 
213:239,36[A  ]| "I never was in$4$ better health." 
213:239,37[Q  ]| "I am glad of it with all my heart, but really you 
213:239,38[Q  ]| did not look$1$ it.  I should be so$5#1$ sorry to$9$ have \you\ ill; 
213:240,01[Q  ]| you, that$6#1$ have been the greatest comfort$0$ to$4$ me in$4$ the 
213:240,02[Q  ]| world! ~~ Heaven knows what I should have done without 
213:240,03[Q  ]| your friendship." ~~ 
213:240,04['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor tried to$9$ make$1$ a civil answer$0$, though doubting 
213:240,05['  ]| her own$2$ success.  But it seemed to$9$ satisfy $SS#Q$Lucy, for$3$ 
213:240,06['  ]| she directly replied, 
213:240,07[Q  ]| "Indeed I am perfectly convinced of your regard$0$ for$4$ 
213:240,08[Q  ]| me, and next to$4$ $SS#B$Edward's love$0$, it is the greatest comfort$0$ 
213:240,09[Q  ]| I have. ~~ Poor $SS#B$Edward! ~~ But now, there is one good 
213:240,10[Q  ]| thing, we shall be able to$9$ meet$1$, and meet$1$ pretty$5$ often, 
213:240,11[Q  ]| for$3$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's delighted with $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood, so$3$ 
213:240,12[Q  ]| we shall be a good deal$0$ in$4$ Harley-street, I dare$1#2$ say, and 
213:240,13[Q  ]| $SS#B$Edward spends half his time with his sister ~~ besides, 
213:240,14[Q  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton and $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars will$1$ visit$1$ now; ~~ and 
213:240,15[Q  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars and your sister were both so$5#1$ good to$9$ say 
213:240,16[Q  ]| more than once, they should always be glad to$9$ see me. ~~ 
213:240,17[Q  ]| They are such charming women! ~~ I am sure if ever 
213:240,18[Q  ]| you tell your sister what I think of her, you cannot 
213:240,19[Q  ]| speak too$5#1$ high." 
213:240,20['  ]| But $SS#A$Elinor would not give her any encouragement to$9$ 
213:240,21['  ]| hope$1$ that$3$ she \should\ tell her sister.  $SS#Q$Lucy continued. 
213:240,22[Q  ]| "I am sure I should have seen it in$4$ a moment, if 
213:240,23[Q  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars had took a dislike$0$ to$4$ me.  If she had only 
213:240,24[Q  ]| made me a formal curtsey, for$4$ instance$0$, without saying 
213:240,25[Q  ]| a word, and never after$5$ had took any notice$0$ of me, and 
213:240,26[Q  ]| never looked at me in$4$ a pleasant way ~~ you know what 
213:240,27[Q  ]| I mean$1$, ~~ if I had been treated in$4$ that$6#2$ forbidding sort 
213:240,28[Q  ]| of way, I should have gave it all up$5$ in$4$ despair$0$.  I could 
213:240,29[Q  ]| not have stood it.  For$3$ where she \does\ dislike$1$, I know 
213:240,30[Q  ]| it is most violent." 
213:240,31['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was prevented from making any reply$0$ to$4$ this 
213:240,32['  ]| civil triumph$0$, by$4$ the door's being$1$ thrown open$2$, the 
213:240,33['  ]| servant's announcing $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars, and $SS#B$Edward's immediately 
213:240,34['  ]| walking in$5$. 
213:240,35['  ]| It was a very awkward moment; and the countenance 
213:240,36['  ]| of each shewed that$3$ it was so$5#2$.  They all looked 
213:240,37['  ]| exceedingly foolish; and $SS#B$Edward seemed to$9$ have as 
213:240,38['  ]| great an inclination to$9$ walk$1$ out$5$ of the room again, as to$9$ 
213:241,01['  ]| advance$1$ farther into it.  The very circumstance, in$4$ its 
213:241,02['  ]| unpleasantest form$0$, which$6#1$ they would each have been 
213:241,03['  ]| most anxious to$9$ avoid, had fallen on$4$ them ~~ They were 
213:241,04['  ]| not only all three together, but were together without 
213:241,05['  ]| the relief of any other person.  The ladies recovered 
213:241,06['  ]| themselves first.  It was not $SS#Q$Lucy's business to$9$ put 
213:241,07['  ]| herself forward$5$, and the appearance of secrecy must still$5$ 
213:241,08['  ]| be kept up$5$.  She could therefore only \look$1$\ her tenderness, 
213:241,09['  ]| and after$4$ slightly addressing him, said no$2$ more. 
213:241,10['  ]| But $SS#A$Elinor had more to$9$ do; and so$5#1$ anxious was she, 
213:241,11['  ]| for$4$ his sake and her own$2$, to$9$ do it well$5$, that$3$ she forced 
213:241,12['  ]| herself, after$4$ a moment's recollection, to$9$ welcome$1$ him, 
213:241,13['  ]| with a look$0$ and manner that$6#1$ were almost easy, and 
213:241,14['  ]| almost open$2$; and another struggle$0$, another effort still$5$ 
213:241,15['  ]| improved them. 
213:241,15@a   | She would not allow the presence of 
213:241,16@a   | $SS#Q$Lucy, nor the consciousness of some injustice towards 
213:241,17@a   | herself, to$9$ deter her from saying that$3$ she was happy to$9$ 
213:241,18@a   | see him, and that$3$ she had very much regretted being$1$ 
213:241,19@a   | from home, when he called before$5$ in$4$ Berkeley-street. 
213:241,20@a   | She would not be frightened from paying him those 
213:241,21@a   | attentions which$6#1$, as a friend and almost a relation, were 
213:241,22@a   | his due$0$, by$4$ the observant eyes of $SS#Q$Lucy, though she soon 
213:241,23@a   | perceived them to$9$ be narrowly watching her. 
213:241,24['  ]| Her manners gave some re-assurance to$4$ $SS#B$Edward, and 
213:241,25['  ]| he had courage enough to$9$ sit down$5$; but his embarrassment 
213:241,26['  ]| still$5$ exceeded that$6#2$ of the ladies in$4$ a proportion, 
213:241,27['  ]| which$6#1$ the case rendered reasonable, though his sex 
213:241,28['  ]| might make$1$ it rare; for$3$ his heart had not the indifference 
213:241,29['  ]| of $SS#Q$Lucy's, nor could his conscience have quite the ease$0$ 
213:241,30['  ]| of $SS#A$Elinor's. 
213:241,31['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, with a demure and settled air, seemed determined 
213:241,32['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ no$2$ contribution to$4$ the comfort$0$ of the 
213:241,33['  ]| others, and would not say a word; and almost every*thing 
213:241,34['  ]| that$6#1$ \was\ said, proceeded from $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ was 
213:241,35['  ]| obliged to$9$ volunteer all the information about$4$ her 
213:241,36['  ]| mother's health, their coming to$4$ town, &c% which$6#1$ 
213:241,37['  ]| $SS#B$Edward ought to$9$ have inquired about$4$, but never did. 
213:241,38['  ]| Her exertions did not stop$1$ here; for$3$ she soon afterwards 
213:242,01['  ]| felt herself so$5#1$ heroically disposed as to$9$ determine, 
213:242,02['  ]| under pretence of fetching $SS#C$Marianne, to$9$ leave$1$ the others 
213:242,03['  ]| by$4$ themselves:  and she really did it, and \that$6#2$\ in$4$ the 
213:242,04['  ]| handsomest manner, for$3$ she loitered away several 
213:242,05['  ]| minutes on$4$ the landing-place, with the most high-minded 
213:242,06['  ]| fortitude, before$3$ she went to$4$ her sister.  When 
213:242,07['  ]| that$6#2$ was once done, however, it was time for$4$ the raptures 
213:242,08['  ]| of $SS#B$Edward to$9$ cease; for$3$ $SS#C$Marianne's joy hurried her into 
213:242,09['  ]| the drawing-room immediately.  Her pleasure in$4$ seeing 
213:242,10['  ]| him was like$4$ every other of her feelings, strong in$4$ itself, 
213:242,11['  ]| and strongly spoken.  She met him with a hand$0$ that$6#1$ 
213:242,12['  ]| would be taken, and a voice that$6#1$ expressed the affection 
213:242,13['  ]| of a sister. 
213:242,14[C  ]| "Dear$2#1$ $SS#B$Edward!" 
213:242,14['  ]| she cried, 
213:242,14[C  ]| "this is a moment of 
213:242,15[C  ]| great happiness! ~~ This would almost make$1$ amends for$4$ 
213:242,16[C  ]| every*thing!" 
213:242,17['  ]| $SS#B$Edward tried to$9$ return$1$ her kindness as it deserved, 
213:242,18['  ]| but before$4$ such witnesses he dared not say half what 
213:242,19['  ]| he really felt.  Again they all sat down$5$, and for$4$ a moment 
213:242,20['  ]| or two all were silent; while$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was looking with 
213:242,21['  ]| the most speaking tenderness, sometimes at $SS#B$Edward and 
213:242,22['  ]| sometimes at $SS#A$Elinor, regretting only that$3$ their delight$0$ 
213:242,23['  ]| in$4$ each other should be checked by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy's unwelcome 
213:242,24['  ]| presence.  $SS#B$Edward was the first to$9$ speak, and it was to$9$ 
213:242,25['  ]| notice$0$ $SS#C$Marianne's altered looks$0$, and express$1$ his fear$0$ of 
213:242,26['  ]| her not finding London agree with her. 
213:242,27[C  ]| "Oh! don't think of me!" 
213:242,27['  ]| she replied, with spirited 
213:242,28['  ]| earnestness, though her eyes were filled with tears as she 
213:242,29['  ]| spoke, 
213:242,29[C  ]| "don't think of \my\ health.  $SS#A$Elinor is well$5$, you 
213:242,30[C  ]| see.  That$6#2$ must be enough for$4$ us both." 
213:242,31['  ]| This remark$0$ was not calculated to$9$ make$1$ $SS#B$Edward or 
213:242,32['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor more easy, nor to$9$ conciliate the good*will of 
213:242,33['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ looked up$5$ at $SS#C$Marianne with no$2$ very benignant 
213:242,34['  ]| expression. 
213:242,35[B  ]| "Do you like$1$ London?" 
213:242,35['  ]| said $SS#B$Edward, willing to$9$ say 
213:242,36['  ]| any*thing that$6#1$ might introduce another subject$0$. 
213:242,37[C  ]| "Not at all.  I expected much pleasure in$4$ it, but 
213:242,38[C  ]| I have found none.  The sight of you, $SS#B$Edward, is the 
213:243,01[C  ]| only comfort$0$ it has afforded; and thank Heaven! you 
213:243,02[C  ]| are what you always were!" 
213:243,03['  ]| She paused ~~ no*one spoke. 
213:243,04[C  ]| "I think, $SS#A$Elinor," 
213:243,04['  ]| she presently added, 
213:243,04[C  ]| "we must 
213:243,05[C  ]| employ $SS#B$Edward to$9$ take care$0$ of us in$4$ our return$0$ to$4$ 
213:243,06[C  ]| Barton.  In$4$ a week or two, I suppose, we shall be going; 
213:243,07[C  ]| and, I trust$1$, $SS#B$Edward will$1$ not be very unwilling to$9$ accept 
213:243,08[C  ]| the charge$0$." 
213:243,09['  ]| Poor $SS#B$Edward muttered something, but what it was, 
213:243,10['  ]| nobody knew, not even$5$ himself.  But $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ 
213:243,11['  ]| saw his agitation, and could easily trace it to$4$ whatever 
213:243,12['  ]| cause best pleased herself, was perfectly satisfied, and 
213:243,13['  ]| soon talked of something else. 
213:243,14[C  ]| "We spent such a day, $SS#B$Edward, in$4$ Harley-street 
213:243,15[C  ]| yesterday!  So$5#1$ dull, so$5#1$ wretchedly dull! ~~ But I have 
213:243,16[C  ]| much to$9$ say to$4$ you on$4$ that$6#2$ head$0$, which$6#1$ cannot be 
213:243,17[C  ]| said now." 
213:243,18['  ]| And with this admirable discretion did she defer the 
213:243,19['  ]| assurance of her finding their mutual relatives more 
213:243,20['  ]| disagreeable than ever, and of her being$1$ particularly 
213:243,21['  ]| disgusted with his mother, till they were more in$4$ 
213:243,22['  ]| private$0$. 
213:243,23[C  ]| "But why were you not there, $SS#B$Edward? ~~ Why did 
213:243,24[C  ]| you not come? 
213:243,25[B  ]| "I was engaged elsewhere." 
213:243,26[C  ]| "Engaged!  But what was that$6#2$, when such friends 
213:243,27[C  ]| were to$9$ be met?" 
213:243,28[Q  ]| "Perhaps, $SS#C$Miss*Marianne," 
213:243,28['  ]| cried $SS#Q$Lucy, eager to$9$ take 
213:243,29['  ]| some revenge on$4$ her, 
213:243,29[Q  ]| "you think young men never 
213:243,30[Q  ]| stand$1$ upon$4$ engagements, if they have no$2$ mind$0$ to$9$ keep 
213:243,31[Q  ]| them, little as well$5$ as great." 
213:243,32['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was very angry, but $SS#C$Marianne seemed entirely 
213:243,33['  ]| insensible of the sting; for$3$ she calmly replied, 
213:243,34[C  ]| "Not so$5#2$, indeed; for$3$, seriously speaking, I am very 
213:243,35[C  ]| sure that$3$ conscience only kept $SS#B$Edward from Harley-street. 
213:243,36[C  ]| And I really believe he \has\ the most delicate 
213:243,37[C  ]| conscience in$4$ the world; the most scrupulous in$4$ performing 
213:243,38[C  ]| every engagement however minute$2$, and however 
213:244,01[C  ]| it may$1$ make$1$ against his interest$0$ or pleasure.  He is the 
213:244,02[C  ]| most fearful of giving pain$0$, of wounding expectation, 
213:244,03[C  ]| and the most incapable of being$1$ selfish, of any*body 
213:244,04[C  ]| I ever saw.  $SS#B$Edward, it is so$5#2$ and I will$1$ say it. What! 
213:244,05[C  ]| are you never to$9$ hear yourself praised! ~~ Then, you 
213:244,06[C  ]| must be no$2$ friend of mine$6$; for$3$ those who$6#1$ will$1$ accept 
213:244,07[C  ]| of my love$0$ and esteem$0$, must submit to$4$ my open$2$ commendation." 
213:244,08[C  ]| 
213:243,09['  ]| The nature of her commendation, in$4$ the present$2$ case, 
213:243,10['  ]| however, happened to$9$ be particularly ill-suited to$4$ the 
213:243,11['  ]| feelings of two*thirds of her auditors, and was so$5#1$ very 
213:244,12['  ]| unexhilarating to$4$ $SS#B$Edward, that$3$ he very soon got up$5$ to$9$ 
213:244,13['  ]| go away. 
213:244,14[C  ]| "Going so$5#1$ soon!" 
213:244,14['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne; 
213:244,14[C  ]| "my dear$2#1$ $SS#B$Edward, 
213:244,15[C  ]| this must not be." 
213:244,16['  ]| And drawing him a little aside, she whispered her 
213:244,17['  ]| persuasion that$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy could not stay$1$ much longer.  But 
213:244,18['  ]| even$5$ this encouragement failed, for$3$ he would go; and 
213:244,19['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ would have outstaid him had his visit$0$ lasted 
213:244,20['  ]| two hours, soon afterwards went away. 
213:244,21[C  ]| "What can bring her here so$5#1$ often!" 
213:244,21['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
213:244,22['  ]| on$4$ her leaving them. 
213:244,22[C  ]| "Could she not see that$3$ we 
213:244,23[C  ]| wanted her gone! ~~ how teazing to$4$ $SS#B$Edward!" 
213:244,24[A  ]| "Why so$5#2$? ~~ we were all his friends, and $SS#Q$Lucy has 
213:244,25[A  ]| been the longest known to$4$ him of any.  It is but natural$2$ 
213:244,26[A  ]| that$3$ he should like$1$ to$9$ see her as well$5$ as ourselves." 
213:244,27['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne looked at her steadily, and said, 
213:244,27[C  ]| "You 
213:244,28[C  ]| know, $SS#A$Elinor, that$3$ this is a kind$0$ of talking which$6#1$ I cannot 
213:244,29[C  ]| bear$1$.  If you only hope$1$ to$9$ have your assertion 
213:244,30[C  ]| contradicted, as I must suppose to$9$ be the case, you 
213:244,31[C  ]| ought to$9$ recollect that$3$ I am the last$2$ person in$4$ the 
213:244,32[C  ]| world to$9$ do it.  I cannot descend to$9$ be tricked out$5$ of 
213:244,33[C  ]| assurances, that$6#1$ are not really wanted." 
213:244,34['  ]| She then left the room; and $SS#A$Elinor dared not follow 
213:244,35['  ]| her to$9$ say more, for$3$ bound as she was by$4$ her promise$0$ 
213:244,36['  ]| of secrecy to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, she could give no$2$ information that$6#1$ 
213:244,37['  ]| would convince $SS#C$Marianne; and painful as the consequences 
213:244,38['  ]| of her still$5$ continuing in$4$ an error might be, she 
213:245,01['  ]| was obliged to$9$ submit to$4$ it.  All that$6#1$ she could hope$1$, 
213:245,02['  ]| was that$3$ $SS#B$Edward would not often expose her or himself 
213:245,03['  ]| to$4$ the distress$0$ of hearing $SS#C$Marianne's mistaken warmth, 
213:245,04['  ]| nor to$4$ the repetition of any other part$0$ of the pain$0$ that$6#1$ 
213:245,05['  ]| had attended their recent meeting ~~ and this she had 
213:245,06['  ]| every reason$0$ to$9$ expect. 
214:246,01['  ]| Within a few days after$4$ this meeting, the newspapers 
214:246,02['  ]| announced to$4$ the world, that$3$ the Lady of $SS#N$Thomas*Palmer*Esq% 
214:246,03['  ]| was safely delivered of a son and heir; 
214:246,04['  ]| a very interesting and satisfactory paragraph, at least 
214:246,05['  ]| to$4$ all those intimate$2$ connections who$6#1$ knew it before$5$. 
214:246,06['  ]| This event, highly important to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's happiness, 
214:246,07['  ]| produced a temporary alteration in$4$ the disposal of 
214:246,08['  ]| her time, and influenced, in$4$ a like$2$ degree, the engagements 
214:246,09['  ]| of her young friends; for$3$ as she wished to$9$ be as 
214:246,10['  ]| much as possible with $SS#O$Charlotte, she went thither every 
214:246,11['  ]| morning as soon as she was dressed, and did not return$1$ 
214:246,12['  ]| till late in$4$ the evening; and the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods, at 
214:246,13['  ]| the particular request$0$ of the $SS#L1$Middletons, spent the whole$0$ 
214:246,14['  ]| of every day in$4$ Conduit-street.  For$4$ their own$2$ comfort$0$, 
214:246,15['  ]| they would much rather have remained, at least all the 
214:246,16['  ]| morning, in$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's house; but it was not 
214:246,17['  ]| a thing to$9$ be urged against the wishes$0$ of everybody. 
214:246,18['  ]| Their hours were therefore made over to$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
214:246,19['  ]| and the two $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles, by$4$ whom$6#1$ their company was 
214:246,20['  ]| in$4$ fact as little valued, as it was professedly sought. 
214:246,21['  ]| They had too$5#1$ much sense to$9$ be desirable companions 
214:246,22['  ]| to$4$ the former; and by$4$ the latter they were considered 
214:246,23['  ]| with a jealous eye, as intruding on$4$ \their\ ground, and 
214:246,24['  ]| sharing the kindness which$6#1$ they wanted to$9$ monopolize. 
214:246,25['  ]| Though nothing could be more polite than $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's 
214:246,26['  ]| behaviour to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor and $SS#C$Marianne, she did not 
214:246,27['  ]| really like$1$ them at all.  Because they neither flattered 
214:246,28['  ]| herself nor her children, she could not believe them 
214:246,29['  ]| good-natured; and because they were fond of reading, 
214:246,30['  ]| she fancied them satirical:  perhaps without exactly 
214:246,31['  ]| knowing what it was to$9$ be satirical; but \that$6#2$\ did not 
214:246,32['  ]| signify.  It was censure$0$ in$4$ common$2$ use$0$, and easily 
214:246,33['  ]| given. 
214:247,01['  ]| Their presence was a restraint both on$4$ her and on$4$ 
214:247,02['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy.  It checked the idleness of one, and the business 
214:247,03['  ]| of the other.  $SS#M$Lady*Middleton was ashamed of doing 
214:247,04['  ]| nothing before$4$ them, and the flattery which$6#1$ $SS#Q$Lucy was 
214:247,05['  ]| proud to$9$ think of and administer at other times, she 
214:247,06['  ]| feared they would despise her for$4$ offering.  $SS#P$Miss*Steele 
214:247,07['  ]| was the least discomposed of the three, by$4$ their presence; 
214:247,08['  ]| and it was in$4$ their power to$9$ reconcile her to$4$ it entirely. 
214:247,09['  ]| Would either of them, only have given her a full and 
214:247,10['  ]| minute$2$ account$0$ of the whole$2$ affair between $SS#C$Marianne 
214:247,11['  ]| and $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, she would have thought$1$ herself 
214:247,12['  ]| amply rewarded for$4$ the sacrifice$0$ of the best place$0$ by$4$ 
214:247,13['  ]| the fire$0$ after$4$ dinner, which$6#1$ their arrival occasioned. 
214:247,14['  ]| But this conciliation was not granted; for$3$ though she 
214:247,15['  ]| often threw out$5$ expressions of pity$0$ for$4$ her sister to$4$ 
214:247,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, and more than once dropt a reflection on$4$ the 
214:247,17['  ]| inconstancy of beaux before$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, no$2$ effect$0$ was 
214:247,18['  ]| produced, but a look$0$ of indifference from the former, 
214:247,19['  ]| or of disgust$0$ in$4$ the latter.  An effort even$5$ yet lighter 
214:247,20['  ]| might have made her their friend.  Would they only 
214:247,21['  ]| have laughed at her about$4$ the $SS#ZJ$Doctor!  But so$5#1$ little 
214:247,22['  ]| were they, any more than the others, inclined to$9$ oblige 
214:247,23['  ]| her, that$3$ if $SS#L$Sir*John dined from home, she might spend 
214:247,24['  ]| a whole$2$ day without hearing any other raillery on$4$ the 
214:247,25['  ]| subject$0$, than what she was kind$2$ enough to$9$ bestow on$4$ 
214:247,26['  ]| herself. 
214:247,27['  ]| All these jealousies and discontents, however, were so$5#1$ 
214:247,28['  ]| totally unsuspected by$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, that$3$ she thought$1$ 
214:247,29['  ]| it a delightful thing for$4$ the girls to$9$ be together; and 
214:247,30['  ]| generally congratulated her young friends every night, 
214:247,31['  ]| on$4$ having escaped the company of a stupid old woman 
214:247,32['  ]| so$5#1$ long.  She joined them sometimes at $SS#L$Sir*John's, and 
214:247,33['  ]| sometimes at her own$2$ house; but wherever it was, she 
214:247,34['  ]| always came in$4$ excellent spirits, full of delight$0$ and 
214:247,35['  ]| importance, attributing $SS#O$Charlotte's well*doing to$4$ her 
214:247,36['  ]| own$2$ care$0$, and ready to$9$ give so$5#1$ exact$2$, so$5#1$ minute$2$ a detail$0$ 
214:247,37['  ]| of her situation, as only $SS#P$Miss*Steele had curiosity enough 
214:247,38['  ]| to$9$ desire$1$.  One thing \did\ disturb her; and of that$6#2$ she 
214:248,01['  ]| made her daily complaint.  $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer maintained the 
214:248,02['  ]| common$2$, but unfatherly opinion among his sex, of all 
214:248,03['  ]| infants being$1$ alike; and though she could plainly perceive 
214:248,04['  ]| at different times, the most striking resemblance 
214:248,05['  ]| between this baby and every one of his relations on$4$ both 
214:248,06['  ]| sides, there was no$2$ convincing his father of it; no$2$ 
214:248,07['  ]| persuading him to$9$ believe that$3$ it was not exactly like$4$ 
214:248,08['  ]| every other baby of the same age; nor could he even$5$ 
214:248,09['  ]| be brought to$9$ acknowledge the simple$2$ proposition of 
214:248,10['  ]| its being$1$ the finest child in$4$ the world. 
214:248,11['  ]| I come now to$4$ the relation of a misfortune, which$6#1$ 
214:248,12['  ]| about$4$ this time befell $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood.  It so$5#2$ 
214:248,13['  ]| happened that$3$ while$3$ her two sisters with $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
214:248,14['  ]| were first calling on$4$ her in$4$ Harley-street, another of her 
214:248,15['  ]| acquaintance had dropt in$5$ ~~ a circumstance in$4$ itself not 
214:248,16['  ]| apparently likely to$9$ produce evil to$4$ her.  But while$3$ the 
214:248,17['  ]| imaginations of other people will$1$ carry them away to$9$ 
214:248,18['  ]| form$1$ wrong judgments of our conduct$0$, and to$9$ decide on$4$ 
214:248,19['  ]| it by$4$ slight$2$ appearances, one's happiness must in$4$ some 
214:248,20['  ]| measure$0$ be always at the mercy of chance$0$.  In$4$ the 
214:248,21['  ]| present$2$ instance$0$, this last-arrived lady allowed her fancy$0$ 
214:248,22['  ]| so$5#1$ far to$9$ outrun truth and probability, that$3$ on$4$ merely 
214:248,23['  ]| hearing the name$0$ of the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods, and understanding 
214:248,24['  ]| them to$9$ be $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood's sisters, she immediately 
214:248,25['  ]| concluded them to$9$ be staying in$4$ Harley-street; 
214:248,26['  ]| and this misconstruction produced within a day or two 
214:248,27['  ]| afterwards, cards of invitation for$4$ them as well$5$ as for$4$ 
214:248,28['  ]| their brother and sister, to$4$ a small musical party at her 
214:248,29['  ]| house.  The consequence of which$6#1$ was, that$3$ $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood 
214:248,30['  ]| was obliged to$9$ submit not only to$4$ the exceedingly 
214:248,31['  ]| great inconvenience of sending her carriage for$4$ the 
214:248,32['  ]| $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods; but, what was still$5$ worse, must be 
214:248,33['  ]| subject$2$ to$4$ all the unpleasantness of appearing to$9$ treat$1$ 
214:248,34['  ]| them with attention:  and who$6#2$ could tell that$3$ they 
214:248,35['  ]| might not expect to$9$ go out$5$ with her a second$2$ time? 
214:248,36['  ]| The power of disappointing them, it was true, must 
214:248,37['  ]| always be her's.  But that$6#2$ was not enough; for$3$ when 
214:248,38['  ]| people are determined on$4$ a mode of conduct$0$ which$6#1$ they 
214:249,01['  ]| know to$9$ be wrong, they feel injured by$4$ the expectation 
214:249,02['  ]| of any*thing better from them. 
214:249,03['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne had now been brought by$4$ degrees, so$5#1$ much 
214:249,04['  ]| into the habit of going out$5$ every day, that$3$ it was become 
214:249,05['  ]| a matter of indifference to$4$ her, whether she went or 
214:249,06['  ]| not:  and she prepared quietly and mechanically for$4$ 
214:249,07['  ]| every evening's engagement, though without expecting 
214:249,08['  ]| the smallest amusement from any, and very often without 
214:249,09['  ]| knowing till the last$2$ moment, where it was to$9$ 
214:249,10['  ]| take her. 
214:249,11['  ]| To$4$ her dress$0$ and appearance she was grown so$5#1$ perfectly 
214:249,12['  ]| indifferent, as not to$9$ bestow half the consideration 
214:249,13['  ]| on$4$ it, during the whole$0$ of her toilette, which$6#1$ it received 
214:249,14['  ]| from $SS#P$Miss*Steele in$4$ the first five minutes of their being$1$ 
214:249,15['  ]| together, when it was finished.  Nothing escaped \her\ 
214:249,16['  ]| minute$2$ observation and general$2$ curiosity; she saw every*thing, 
214:249,17['  ]| and asked every*thing; was never easy till she 
214:249,18['  ]| knew the price of every part$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne's dress$0$; could 
214:249,19['  ]| have guessed the number of her gowns altogether with 
214:249,20['  ]| better judgment than $SS#C$Marianne herself, and was not 
214:249,21['  ]| without hopes$0$ of finding out$5$ before$3$ they parted, how 
214:249,22['  ]| much her washing cost$1$ per week, and how much she 
214:249,23['  ]| had every year to$9$ spend upon$4$ herself.  The impertinence 
214:249,24['  ]| of these kind$0$ of scrutinies, moreover, was generally concluded 
214:249,25['  ]| with a compliment$0$, which$6#1$ though meant as its 
214:249,26['  ]| douceur, was considered by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne as the greatest 
214:249,27['  ]| impertinence of all; for$3$ after$4$ undergoing an examination 
214:249,28['  ]| into the value$0$ and make$0$ of her gown, the colour of her 
214:249,29['  ]| shoes, and the arrangement of her hair, she was almost 
214:249,30['  ]| sure of being$1$ told that$3$ upon$4$ 
214:249,30[P  ]| "her word she looked 
214:249,31[P  ]| vastly smart, and she dared to$9$ say would make$1$ a great 
214:249,32[P  ]| many conquests." 
214:249,33['  ]| With such encouragement as this, was she dismissed 
214:249,34['  ]| on$4$ the present$2$ occasion$0$ to$4$ her brother's carriage; which$6#1$ 
214:249,35['  ]| they were ready to$9$ enter five minutes after$3$ it stopped 
214:249,36['  ]| at the door, a punctuality not very agreeable to$4$ their 
214:249,37['  ]| sister-in-law, who$6#1$ had preceded them to$4$ the house of 
214:249,38['  ]| her acquaintance, and was there hoping for$4$ some delay$0$ 
214:250,01['  ]| on$4$ their part$0$ that$6#1$ might inconvenience either herself or 
214:250,02['  ]| her coachman. 
214:250,03['  ]| The events of the evening were not very remarkable. 
214:250,04['  ]| The party, like$4$ other musical parties, comprehended 
214:250,05['  ]| a great many people who$6#1$ had real taste for$4$ the performance, 
214:250,06['  ]| and a great many more who$6#1$ had none at all; 
214:250,07['  ]| and the performers themselves were, as usual, in$4$ their 
214:250,08['  ]| own$2$ estimation, and that$6#2$ of their immediate friends, 
214:250,09['  ]| the first private$2$ performers in$4$ England. 
214:250,10['  ]| As $SS#A$Elinor was neither musical, nor affecting to$9$ be 
214:250,11['  ]| so$5#2$, she made no$2$ scruple$0$ of turning away her eyes 
214:250,12['  ]| from the grand pianoforte=, whenever it suited her, 
214:250,13['  ]| and unrestrained even$5$ by$4$ the presence of a harp, and 
214:250,14['  ]| a violoncello, would fix them at pleasure on$4$ any other 
214:250,15['  ]| object$0$ in$4$ the room.  In$4$ one of these excursive glances 
214:250,16['  ]| she perceived among a group of young men, the very 
214:250,17['  ]| he, who$6#1$ had given them a lecture on$4$ toothpick-cases at 
214:250,18['  ]| $SS#Z1$Gray's.  She perceived him soon afterwards looking at 
214:250,19['  ]| herself, and speaking familiarly to$4$ her brother; and had 
214:250,20['  ]| just$5$ determined to$9$ find out$5$ his name$0$ from the latter, 
214:250,21['  ]| when they both came towards her, and $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood 
214:250,22['  ]| introduced him to$4$ her as $SS#J$Mr%*Robert*Ferrars. 
214:250,23['  ]| He addressed her with easy civility, and twisted his 
214:250,24['  ]| head$0$ into a bow$0#1$ which$6#1$ assured her as plainly as words 
214:250,25['  ]| could have done, that$3$ he was exactly the coxcomb she 
214:250,26['  ]| had heard him described to$9$ be by$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy.  Happy had 
214:250,27['  ]| it been for$4$ her, if her regard$0$ for$4$ $SS#B$Edward had depended 
214:250,28['  ]| less on$4$ his own$2$ merit$0$, than on$4$ the merit$0$ of his nearest 
214:250,29['  ]| relations!  For$3$ then his brother's bow$0#1$ must have given 
214:250,30['  ]| the finishing stroke to$4$ what the ill-humour of his mother 
214:250,31['  ]| and sister would have begun.  But while$3$ she wondered 
214:250,32['  ]| at the difference of the two young men, she did not 
214:250,33['  ]| find that$3$ the emptiness and conceit of the one, put her 
214:250,34['  ]| at all out$5$ of charity with the modesty and worth of 
214:250,35['  ]| the other.  Why they \were\ different, $SS#J$Robert explained 
214:250,36['  ]| to$4$ her himself in$4$ the course$0$ of a quarter$0#1$ of an hour's 
214:250,37['  ]| conversation; for$3$, talking of his brother, and lamenting 
214:250,38['  ]| the extreme$2$ \gaucherie\ which$6#1$ he really believed kept him 
214:251,01['  ]| from mixing in$4$ proper society, he candidly and generously 
214:251,02['  ]| attributed it much less to$4$ any natural$2$ deficiency, than to$4$ 
214:251,03['  ]| the misfortune of a private$2$ education; while$3$ he himself, 
214:251,04['  ]| though probably without any particular, any material$2$ 
214:251,05['  ]| superiority by$4$ nature, merely from the advantage of 
214:251,06['  ]| a public$2$ school, was as well$5$ fitted to$9$ mix in$4$ the world 
214:251,07['  ]| as any other man. 
214:251,08[J  ]| "Upon$4$ my soul," 
214:251,08['  ]| he added, 
214:251,08[J  ]| "I believe it is nothing 
214:251,09[J  ]| more; and so$5#2$ I often tell my mother, when she is 
214:251,10[J  ]| grieving about$4$ it.  ""My dear$2#1$ Madam,"" I always say to$4$ 
214:251,11[J  ]| her, ""you must make$1$ yourself easy.  The evil is now 
214:251,12[J  ]| irremediable, and it has been entirely your own$2$ doing. 
214:251,13[J  ]| Why would you be persuaded by$4$ my uncle, $SS#ZY$Sir*Robert, 
214:251,14[J  ]| against your own$2$ judgment, to$9$ place$1$ $SS#B$Edward under 
214:251,15[J  ]| private$2$ tuition, at the most critical time of his life? 
214:251,16[J  ]| If you had only sent him to$4$ Westminster as well$5$ as 
214:251,17[J  ]| myself, instead of sending him to$4$ $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt's, all this 
214:251,18[J  ]| would have been prevented.""  This is the way in$4$ which$6#1$ 
214:251,19[J  ]| I always consider the matter, and my mother is perfectly 
214:251,20[J  ]| convinced of her error." 
214:251,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor would not oppose his opinion, because, whatever 
214:251,22['  ]| might be her general$2$ estimation of the advantage 
214:251,23['  ]| of a public$2$ school, she could not think of $SS#B$Edward's 
214:251,24['  ]| abode in$4$ $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt's family, with any satisfaction. 
214:251,25[J  ]| "You reside in$4$ Devonshire, I think" ~~ 
214:251,25['  ]| was his next 
214:251,26['  ]| observation, 
214:251,26[J  ]| "in$4$ a cottage near$4$ Dawlish." 
214:251,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor set$1$ him right$2#1$ as to$4$ its situation, and it seemed 
214:251,28['  ]| rather surprising to$4$ him that$3$ anybody could live in$4$ 
214:251,29['  ]| Devonshire, without living near$4$ Dawlish.  He bestowed 
214:251,30['  ]| his hearty approbation however on$4$ their species of house. 
214:251,31[J  ]| "For$4$ my own$2$ part$0$," 
214:251,31['  ]| said he, 
214:251,31[J  ]| "I am excessively fond 
214:251,32[J  ]| of a cottage; there is always so$5#1$ much comfort$0$, so$5#1$ much 
214:251,33[J  ]| elegance about$4$ them.  And I protest, if I had any money 
214:251,34[J  ]| to$9$ spare$1$, I should buy a little land and build one myself, 
214:251,35[J  ]| within a short distance$0$ of London, where I might drive$1$ 
214:251,36[J  ]| myself down$5$ at any time, and collect a few friends about$4$ 
214:251,37[J  ]| me, and be happy.  I advise every*body who$6#1$ is going 
214:251,38[J  ]| to$9$ build, to$9$ build a cottage.  My friend $SS#ZH$Lord*Courtland 
214:252,01[J  ]| came to$4$ me the other day on$4$ purpose to$9$ ask my advice, 
214:252,02[J  ]| and laid before$4$ me three different plans of $SS#Z1$Bonomi's. 
214:252,03[J  ]| I was to$9$ decide on$4$ the best of them.  ""My dear$2#1$ $SS#ZH$Courtland,"" 
214:252,04[J  ]| said I, immediately throwing them all into the 
214:252,05[J  ]| fire$0$, ""do not adopt either of them, but by$4$ all means$0$ 
214:252,06[J  ]| build a cottage.""  And that$6#2$, I fancy$1$, will$1$ be the end$0$ of it. 
214:252,07[J  ]| "Some people imagine that$3$ there can be no$2$ accommodations, 
214:252,08[J  ]| no$2$ space in$4$ a cottage; but this is all a mistake$0$. 
214:252,09[J  ]| I was last$2$ month at my friend $SS#ZL$Elliott's near$4$ 
214:252,10[J  ]| Dartford.  $SS#ZL$Lady*Elliott wished to$9$ give a dance$0$.  ""But 
214:252,11[J  ]| how can it be done?"" said she; ""my dear$2#1$ $SS#J$Ferrars, do 
214:252,12[J  ]| tell me how it is to$9$ be managed.  There is not a room 
214:252,13[J  ]| in$4$ this cottage that$6#1$ will$1$ hold$1$ ten couple, and where can 
214:252,14[J  ]| the supper be?""  \I\ immediately saw that$3$ there could 
214:252,15[J  ]| be no$2$ difficulty in$4$ it, so$3$ I said, ""My dear$2#1$ $SS#ZL$Lady*Elliott, 
214:252,16[J  ]| do not be uneasy.  The dining*parlour will$1$ admit 
214:252,17[J  ]| eighteen couple with ease$0$; card-tables may$1$ be placed 
214:252,18[J  ]| in$4$ the drawing-room; the library may$1$ be open$2$ for$4$ tea 
214:252,19[J  ]| and other refreshments; and let the supper be set$1$ out$5$ 
214:252,20[J  ]| in$4$ the saloon.""  $SS#ZL$Lady*Elliott was delighted with the 
214:252,21[J  ]| thought$0$.  We measured the dining-room, and found it 
214:252,22[J  ]| would hold$1$ exactly eighteen couple, and the affair was 
214:252,23[J  ]| arranged precisely after$4$ my plan.  So$3$ that$3$, in$4$ fact, you 
214:252,24[J  ]| see, if people do but know how to$9$ set$1$ about$4$ it, every 
214:252,25[J  ]| comfort$0$ may$1$ be as well$5$ enjoyed in$4$ a cottage as in$4$ the 
214:252,26[J  ]| most spacious dwelling." 
214:252,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor agreed to$4$ it all, for$3$ she did not think he deserved 
214:252,28['  ]| the compliment$0$ of rational opposition. 
214:252,29['  ]| As $SS#F$John*Dashwood had no$2$ more pleasure in$4$ music 
214:252,30['  ]| than his eldest sister, his mind$0$ was equally at liberty 
214:252,31['  ]| to$9$ fix on$4$ any*thing else; and a thought$0$ struck him 
214:252,32['  ]| during the evening, which$6#1$ he communicated to$4$ his wife, 
214:252,33['  ]| for$4$ her approbation, when they got home.  The consideration 
214:252,34['  ]| of $SS#ZK$Mrs%*Dennison's mistake$0$, in$4$ supposing his 
214:252,35['  ]| sisters their guests, had suggested the propriety of their 
214:252,36['  ]| being$1$ really invited to$9$ become such, while$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
214:252,37['  ]| engagements kept her from home.  
214:252,37@f   | The expense would 
214:252,38@f   | be nothing, the inconvenience not more; 
214:252,38['  ]| and it was 
214:253,01['  ]| altogether an attention, which$6#1$ the delicacy of his conscience 
214:253,02['  ]| pointed out$5$ to$9$ be requisite to$4$ its complete$2$ 
214:253,03['  ]| enfranchisement from his promise$0$ to$4$ his father.  $SS#G$Fanny 
214:253,04['  ]| was startled at the proposal. 
214:253,05[G  ]| "I do not see how it can be done," 
214:253,05['  ]| said she, 
214:253,05[G  ]| "without 
214:253,06[G  ]| affronting $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, for$3$ they spend every day 
214:253,07[G  ]| with her; otherwise I should be exceedingly glad to$9$ do 
214:253,08[G  ]| it.  You know I am always ready to$9$ pay$1$ them any 
214:253,09[G  ]| attention in$4$ my power, as my taking them out$5$ this 
214:253,10[G  ]| evening shews.  But they are $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's visitors. 
214:253,11[G  ]| How can I ask them away from her?" 
214:253,12['  ]| Her husband, but with great humility, did not see the 
214:253,13['  ]| force$0$ of her objection. 
214:253,13[F  ]| "They had already spent a week 
214:253,14[F  ]| in$4$ this manner in$4$ Conduit-street, and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton 
214:253,15[F  ]| could not be displeased at their giving the same number 
214:253,16[F  ]| of days to$4$ such near$2$ relations." 
214:253,17['  ]| $SS#G$Fanny paused a moment, and then, with fresh vigour, 
214:253,18['  ]| said, 
214:253,19[G  ]| "My love$0$, I would ask them with all my heart, if it 
214:253,20[G  ]| was in$4$ my power.  But I had just$5$ settled within myself 
214:253,21[G  ]| to$9$ ask the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles to$9$ spend a few days with us. 
214:253,22[G  ]| They are very well*behaved, good kind$0$ of girls; and 
214:253,23[G  ]| I think the attention is due$2$ to$4$ them, as their uncle did 
214:253,24[G  ]| so$5#1$ very well$5$ by$4$ $SS#B$Edward.  We can ask your sisters some 
214:253,25[G  ]| other year, you know; but the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles may$1$ not 
214:253,26[G  ]| be in$4$ town any more.  I am sure you will$1$ like$1$ them; 
214:253,27[G  ]| indeed, you \do\ like$1$ them, you know, very much already, 
214:253,28[G  ]| and so$5#2$ does my mother; and they are such favourites 
214:253,29[G  ]| with $SS#G1$Harry!" 
214:253,30['  ]| $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood was convinced.  He saw the necessity 
214:253,31['  ]| of inviting the $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles immediately, and his conscience 
214:253,32['  ]| was pacified by$4$ the resolution of inviting his 
214:253,33['  ]| sisters another year; at the same time, however, slyly 
214:253,34['  ]| suspecting that$3$ another year would make$1$ the invitation 
214:253,35['  ]| needless, by$4$ bringing $SS#A$Elinor to$4$ town as $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's 
214:253,36['  ]| wife, and $SS#C$Marianne as \their\ visitor. 
214:253,37['  ]| $SS#G$Fanny, rejoicing in$4$ her escape$0$, and proud of the ready 
214:253,38['  ]| wit that$6#1$ had procured it, wrote the next morning to$4$ 
214:254,01['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, to$9$ request$1$ her company and her sister's, for$4$ some 
214:254,02['  ]| days, in$4$ Harley-street, as soon as $SS#M$Lady*Middleton could 
214:254,03['  ]| spare$1$ them.  This was enough to$9$ make$1$ $SS#Q$Lucy really and 
214:254,04['  ]| reasonably happy.  
214:254,04@q   | $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood seemed actually 
214:254,05@q   | working for$4$ her, herself; cherishing all her hopes$0$, and 
214:254,06@q   | promoting all her views!  Such an opportunity of being$1$ 
214:254,07@q   | with $SS#B$Edward and his family was, above$4$ all things, the 
214:254,08@q   | most material$2$ to$4$ her interest$0$, and such an invitation 
214:254,09@q   | the most gratifying to$4$ her feelings!  
214:254,09['  ]| It was an advantage 
214:254,10['  ]| that$6#1$ could not be too$5#1$ gratefully acknowledged, nor too$5#1$ 
214:254,11['  ]| speedily made use$0$ of; and the visit$0$ to$4$ $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
214:254,12['  ]| which$6#1$ had not before$5$ had any precise limits, was 
214:254,13['  ]| instantly discovered to$9$ have been always meant to$9$ end$1$ 
214:254,14['  ]| in$4$ two days time. 
214:254,15['  ]| When the note$0$ was shewn to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, as it was within 
214:254,16['  ]| ten minutes after$4$ its arrival, it gave her, for$4$ the first 
214:254,17['  ]| time, some share$0$ in$4$ the expectations of $SS#Q$Lucy; for$3$ 
214:254,17@a   | such 
214:254,18@a   | a mark$0$ of uncommon kindness, vouchsafed on$4$ so$5#1$ short 
214:254,19@a   | an acquaintance, seemed to$9$ declare that$3$ the good*will 
214:254,20@a   | towards her arose from something more than merely 
214:254,21@a   | malice against herself; and might be brought, by$4$ time 
214:254,22@a   | and address$0$, to$9$ do every*thing that$6#1$ $SS#Q$Lucy wished.  Her 
214:254,23@a   | flattery had already subdued the pride of $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
214:254,24@a   | and made an entry into the close$2$ heart of $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood; 
214:254,25@a   | and these were effects that$6#1$ laid open$2$ the 
214:254,26@a   | probability of greater. 
214:254,27['  ]| The $SS#P1$Miss*Steeles removed to$4$ Harley-street, and all 
214:254,28['  ]| that$6#1$ reached $SS#A$Elinor of their influence$0$ there, strengthened 
214:254,29['  ]| her expectation of the event.  $SS#L$Sir*John, who$6#1$ called on$4$ 
214:254,30['  ]| them more than once, brought home such accounts of 
214:254,31['  ]| the favour$0$ they were in$4$, as must be universally striking. 
214:254,32@l   | $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood had never been so$5#1$ much pleased with 
214:254,33@l   | any young women in$4$ her life, as she was with them; 
214:254,34@l   | had given each of them a needle*book, made by$4$ some 
214:254,35@l   | emigrant; called $SS#Q$Lucy by$4$ her christian name$0$; and did 
214:254,36@l   | not know whether she should ever be able to$9$ part$1$ with 
214:254,37@l   | them. 
301:257,01['  ]| $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer was so$5#1$ well$5$ at the end$0$ of a fortnight, that$3$ 
301:257,02['  ]| her mother felt it no$2$ longer necessary to$9$ give up$5$ the 
301:257,03['  ]| whole$0$ of her time to$4$ her; and contenting herself with 
301:257,04['  ]| visiting her once or twice a day, returned from that$6#2$ period 
301:257,05['  ]| to$4$ her own$2$ home, and her own$2$ habits, in$4$ which$6#1$ she found 
301:257,06['  ]| the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods very ready to$9$ reassume their former 
301:257,07['  ]| share$0$. 
301:257,08['  ]| About$4$ the third or fourth morning after$4$ their being$1$ 
301:257,09['  ]| thus re-settled in$4$ Berkeley-street, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, on$4$ returning 
301:257,10['  ]| from her ordinary visit$0$ to$4$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer, entered 
301:257,11['  ]| the drawing-room, where $SS#A$Elinor was sitting by$4$ herself, 
301:257,12['  ]| with an air of such hurrying importance as prepared her 
301:257,13['  ]| to$9$ hear something wonderful; and giving her time only 
301:257,14['  ]| to$9$ form$1$ that$6#2$ idea, began directly to$9$ justify it by$4$ saying, 
301:257,15[K  ]| "Lord$7$! my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood! have you heard 
301:257,16[K  ]| the news!" 
301:257,17[A  ]| "No$7$, ma'am.  What is it?" 
301:257,18[K  ]| "Something so$5#1$ strange!  But you shall hear it all. ~~ 
301:257,19[K  ]| When I got to$4$ $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer's, I found $SS#O$Charlotte quite in$4$ 
301:257,20[K  ]| a fuss about$4$ the child.  She was sure it was very ill ~~ it 
301:257,21[K  ]| cried, and fretted, and was all over pimples.  So$3$ I looked 
301:257,22[K  ]| at it directly, and, ""Lord$7$! my dear$2#1$,"" says I, ""it is nothing 
301:257,23[K  ]| in$4$ the world but the red-gum;"" and nurse$0$ said just$5$ 
301:257,24[K  ]| the same.  But $SS#O$Charlotte, she would not be satisfied, so$3$ 
301:257,25[K  ]| $SS#W$Mr%*Donavan was sent for$5$; and luckily he happened to$9$ 
301:257,26[K  ]| be just$5$ come in$4$ from Harley-street, so$3$ he stepped over 
301:257,27[K  ]| directly, and as soon as ever he saw the child, he said just$5$ 
301:257,28[K  ]| as we did, that$3$ it was nothing in$4$ the world but the red-gum, 
301:257,29[K  ]| and then $SS#O$Charlotte was easy.  And so$3$, just$5$ as he 
301:257,30[K  ]| was going away again, it came into my head$0$, I am sure 
301:258,01[K  ]| I do not know how I happened to$9$ think of it, but it came 
301:258,02[K  ]| into my head$0$ to$9$ ask him if there was any news.  So$3$ 
301:258,03[K  ]| upon$4$ that$6#2$, he smirked, and simpered, and looked grave$2$, 
301:258,04[K  ]| and seemed to$9$ know something or other, and at last$0$ he 
301:258,05[K  ]| said in$4$ a whisper$0$, 
301:258,05@w   | ""For$4$ fear$0$ any unpleasant report$0$ should 
301:258,06@w   | reach$1$ the young ladies under your care$0$ as to$4$ their sister's 
301:258,07@w   | indisposition, I think it advisable to$9$ say, that$3$ I believe 
301:258,08@w   | there is no$2$ great reason$0$ for$4$ alarm$0$; I hope$1$ $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood 
301:258,09@w   | will$1$ do very well$5$.""" 
301:258,10[A  ]| "What! is $SS#G$Fanny ill?" 
301:258,11[K  ]| "That$6#2$ is exactly what I said, my dear$2#1$.  ""Lord$7$!"" 
301:258,12[K  ]| says I, ""is $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood ill?""  So$3$ then it all came out$5$; 
301:258,13[K  ]| and the long and the short of the matter, by$4$ all I can 
301:258,14[K  ]| learn, seems to$9$ be this.  $SS#B$Mr%*Edward*Ferrars, the very 
301:258,15[K  ]| young man I used to$9$ joke with you about$4$ (but however, 
301:258,16[K  ]| as it turns$1$ out$5$, I am monstrous glad there never was any*thing 
301:258,17[K  ]| in$4$ it), $SS#B$Mr%*Edward*Ferrars, it seems, has been 
301:258,18[K  ]| engaged above$4$ this twelvemonth to$4$ my cousin $SS#Q$Lucy! ~~ 
301:258,19[K  ]| There's for$4$ you, my dear$2#1$! ~~ And not a creature knowing 
301:258,20[K  ]| a syllable of the matter except $SS#P$Nancy! ~~ Could you have 
301:258,21[K  ]| believed such a thing possible? ~~ There is no$2$ great 
301:258,22[K  ]| wonder$0$ in$4$ their liking one another; but that$3$ matters 
301:258,23[K  ]| should be brought so$5#1$ forward$5$ between them, and nobody 
301:258,24[K  ]| suspect it!  \That$6#2$\ is strange! ~~ I never happened to$9$ see them 
301:258,25[K  ]| together, or I am sure I should have found it out$5$ directly. 
301:258,26[K  ]| Well$7$, and so$3$ this was kept a great secret$0$, for$4$ fear$0$ of 
301:258,27[K  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, and neither she nor your brother or sister 
301:258,28[K  ]| suspected a word of the matter; ~~ till this very morning, 
301:258,29[K  ]| poor $SS#P$Nancy, who$6#1$, you know, is a well-meaning creature, 
301:258,30[K  ]| but no$2$ conjurer, popt it all out$5$.  ""Lord$7$!"" thinks she to$4$ 
301:258,31[K  ]| herself, ""they are all so$5#1$ fond of $SS#Q$Lucy, to$9$ be sure they will$1$ 
301:258,32[K  ]| make$1$ no$2$ difficulty about$4$ it;"" and so$3$, away she went to$4$ 
301:258,33[K  ]| your sister, who$6#1$ was sitting all alone at her carpet-work, 
301:258,34[K  ]| little suspecting what was to$9$ come ~~ for$3$ she had just$5$ been 
301:258,35[K  ]| saying to$4$ your brother, only five minutes before$5$, that$3$ 
301:258,36[K  ]| she thought$1$ to$9$ make$1$ a match$0$ between $SS#B$Edward and some 
301:258,37[K  ]| Lord's daughter or other, I forget who$6#1$.  So$3$ you may$1$ 
301:258,38[K  ]| think what a blow it was to$4$ all her vanity and pride. 
301:259,01[K  ]| She fell into violent hysterics immediately, with such 
301:259,02[K  ]| screams as reached your brother's ears, as he was sitting 
301:259,03[K  ]| in$4$ his own$2$ dressing-room down*stairs, thinking about$4$ 
301:259,04[K  ]| writing a letter to$4$ his steward in$4$ the country.  So$3$ up$5$ he 
301:259,05[K  ]| flew directly, and a terrible scene took place$0$, for$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy was 
301:259,06[K  ]| come to$4$ them by$4$ that$6#2$ time, little dreaming what was 
301:259,07[K  ]| going on$5$.  Poor soul!  I pity$1$ \her\.  And I must say, I 
301:259,08[K  ]| think she was used very hardly; for$3$ your sister scolded 
301:259,09[K  ]| like$4$ any fury, and soon drove her into a fainting fit$0$. 
301:259,10[K  ]| $SS#P$Nancy, she fell upon$4$ her knees, and cried bitterly; and 
301:259,11[K  ]| your brother, he walked about$4$ the room, and said he did 
301:259,12[K  ]| not know what to$9$ do.  $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood declared they 
301:259,13[K  ]| should not stay$1$ a minute$0$ longer in$4$ the house, and your 
301:259,14[K  ]| brother was forced to$9$ go down$5$ upon$4$ \his\ knees too$5#2$, to$9$ 
301:259,15[K  ]| persuade her to$9$ let them stay$1$ till they had packed up$5$ 
301:259,16[K  ]| their clothes.  \Then\ she fell into hysterics again, and he 
301:259,17[K  ]| was so$5#1$ frightened that$3$ he would send for$4$ $SS#W$Mr%*Donavan, 
301:259,18[K  ]| and $SS#W$Mr%*Donavan found the house in$4$ all this uproar. 
301:259,19[K  ]| The carriage was at the door ready to$9$ take my poor 
301:259,20[K  ]| cousins away, and they were just$5$ stepping in$5$ as he came 
301:259,21[K  ]| off; poor $SS#Q$Lucy in$4$ such a condition$0$, he says, she could 
301:259,22[K  ]| hardly walk$1$; and $SS#P$Nancy, she was almost as bad.  I 
301:259,23[K  ]| declare, I have no$2$ patience with your sister; and I hope$1$, 
301:259,24[K  ]| with all my heart, it will$1$ be a match$0$ in$4$ spite$8$ of her. 
301:259,25[K  ]| Lord$7$! what a taking poor $SS#B$Mr%*Edward will$1$ be in$4$ when 
301:259,26[K  ]| he hears of it!  To$9$ have his love$0$ used so$5#1$ scornfully! for$3$ 
301:259,27[K  ]| they say he is monstrous fond of her, as well$5$ he may$1$. 
301:259,28[K  ]| I should not wonder$1$, if he was to$9$ be in$4$ the greatest of 
301:259,29[K  ]| a passion! ~~ and $SS#W$Mr%*Donavan thinks just$5$ the same.  He 
301:259,30[K  ]| and I had a great deal$0$ of talk$0$ about$4$ it; and the best of 
301:259,31[K  ]| all is, that$3$ he is gone back$5$ again to$4$ Harley-street, that$3$ 
301:259,32[K  ]| he may$1$ be within call$0$ when $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars is told of it, for$3$ 
301:259,33[K  ]| she was sent for$5$ as soon as ever my cousins left the house, 
301:259,34[K  ]| for$3$ your sister was sure \she\ would be in$4$ hysterics too$5#2$; 
301:259,35[K  ]| and so$5#2$ she may$1$, for$4$ what I care$1$.  I have no$2$ pity$0$ for$4$ either 
301:259,36[K  ]| of them.  I have no$2$ notion of people's making such 
301:259,37[K  ]| a to-do about$4$ money and greatness.  There is no$2$ reason$0$ 
301:259,38[K  ]| on$4$ earth why $SS#B$Mr%*Edward and $SS#Q$Lucy should not marry; 
301:260,01[K  ]| for$3$ I am sure $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars may$1$ afford to$9$ do very well$5$ by$4$ 
301:260,02[K  ]| her son, and though $SS#Q$Lucy has next to$4$ nothing herself, 
301:260,03[K  ]| she knows better than any*body how to$9$ make$1$ the most 
301:260,04[K  ]| of every*thing; and I dare$1#2$ say, if $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars would only 
301:260,05[K  ]| allow him five hundred a-year, she would make$1$ as good 
301:260,06[K  ]| an appearance with it as any*body else would with eight. 
301:260,07[K  ]| Lord$7$! how snug they might live in$4$ such another cottage 
301:260,08[K  ]| as yours ~~ or a little bigger ~~ with two maids and two 
301:260,09[K  ]| men; and I believe I could help$1$ them to$4$ a housemaid, 
301:260,10[K  ]| for$3$ my $SS#ZA$Betty has a sister out$5$ of place$0$, that$6#1$ would fit$1$ 
301:260,11[K  ]| them exactly." 
301:260,12['  ]| Here $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings ceased, and as $SS#A$Elinor had had 
301:260,13['  ]| time enough to$9$ collect her thoughts, she was able to$9$ give 
301:260,14['  ]| such an answer$0$, and make$1$ such observations, as the 
301:260,15['  ]| subject$0$ might naturally be supposed to$9$ produce.  Happy 
301:260,16['  ]| to$9$ find that$3$ she was not suspected of any extraordinary 
301:260,17['  ]| interest$0$ in$4$ it; that$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings (as she had of late 
301:260,18['  ]| often hoped might be the case) had ceased to$9$ imagine 
301:260,19['  ]| her at all attached to$4$ $SS#B$Edward; and happy above$4$ all the 
301:260,20['  ]| rest$0#1$, in$4$ the absence of $SS#C$Marianne, she felt very well$5$ able 
301:260,21['  ]| to$9$ speak of the affair without embarrassment, and to$9$ 
301:260,22['  ]| give her judgment, as she believed, with impartiality 
301:260,23['  ]| on$4$ the conduct$0$ of every*one concerned in$4$ it. 
301:260,24['  ]| She could hardly determine what her own$2$ expectation 
301:260,25['  ]| of its event really was; though she earnestly tried to$9$ drive$1$ 
301:260,26['  ]| away the notion of its being$1$ possible to$9$ end$1$ otherwise at 
301:260,27['  ]| last$0$, than in$4$ the marriage of $SS#B$Edward and $SS#Q$Lucy.  What 
301:260,28['  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars would say and do, though there could 
301:260,29['  ]| not be a doubt$0$ of its nature, she was anxious to$9$ hear; 
301:260,30['  ]| and still$5$ more anxious to$9$ know how $SS#B$Edward would conduct$1$ 
301:260,31['  ]| himself.  For$4$ \him\ she felt much compassion; ~~ for$4$ 
301:260,32['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy very little ~~ and it cost$1$ her some pains to$9$ procure 
301:260,33['  ]| that$6#2$ little; ~~ for$4$ the rest$0#1$ of the party none at all. 
301:260,34['  ]| As $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings could talk$1$ on$4$ no$2$ other subject$0$, $SS#A$Elinor 
301:260,35['  ]| soon saw the necessity of preparing $SS#C$Marianne for$4$ its 
301:260,36['  ]| discussion.  No$2$ time was to$9$ be lost in$4$ undeceiving her, 
301:260,37['  ]| in$4$ making her acquainted with the real truth, and in$4$ 
301:260,38['  ]| endeavouring to$9$ bring her to$9$ hear it talked of by$4$ others, 
301:261,01['  ]| without betraying that$3$ she felt any uneasiness for$4$ her 
301:261,02['  ]| sister, or any resentment against $SS#B$Edward. 
301:261,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's office was a painful one. ~~ She was going to$9$ 
301:261,04['  ]| remove$1$ what she really believed to$9$ be her sister's chief 
301:261,05['  ]| consolation, ~~ to$9$ give such particulars of $SS#B$Edward, as she 
301:261,06['  ]| feared would ruin$1$ him for*ever in$4$ her good opinion, ~~ and 
301:261,07['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ $SS#C$Marianne, by$4$ a resemblance in$4$ their situations, 
301:261,08['  ]| which$6#1$ to$4$ \her\ fancy$0$ would seem strong, feel all her own$2$ 
301:261,09['  ]| disappointment over again.  But unwelcome as such 
301:261,10['  ]| a task must be, it was necessary to$9$ be done, and $SS#A$Elinor 
301:261,11['  ]| therefore hastened to$9$ perform it. 
301:261,12['  ]| She was very far from wishing to$9$ dwell on$4$ her own$2$ 
301:261,13['  ]| feelings, or to$9$ represent herself as suffering much, any 
301:261,14['  ]| otherwise than as the self-command she had practised 
301:261,15['  ]| since her first knowledge of $SS#B$Edward's engagement, 
301:261,16['  ]| might suggest a hint$0$ of what was practicable to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne. 
301:261,17['  ]| Her narration was clear$2$ and simple$2$; and though it 
301:261,18['  ]| could not be given without emotion, it was not accompanied 
301:261,19['  ]| by$4$ violent agitation, nor impetuous grief. ~~ \That$6#2$\ 
301:261,20['  ]| belonged rather to$4$ the hearer, for$3$ $SS#C$Marianne listened with 
301:261,21['  ]| horror, and cried excessively.  $SS#A$Elinor was to$9$ be the 
301:261,22['  ]| comforter of others in$4$ her own$2$ distresses, no$2$ less than in$4$ 
301:261,23['  ]| theirs; and all the comfort$0$ that$6#1$ could be given by$4$ 
301:261,24['  ]| assurances of her own$2$ composure of mind$0$, and a very 
301:261,25['  ]| earnest vindication of $SS#B$Edward from every charge$0$ but 
301:261,26['  ]| of imprudence, was readily offered. 
301:261,27['  ]| But $SS#C$Marianne for$4$ some time would give credit$0$ to$4$ 
301:261,28['  ]| neither.  $SS#B$Edward seemed a second$2$ $SS#R$Willoughby; and 
301:261,29['  ]| acknowledging as $SS#A$Elinor did, that$3$ she \had\ loved him most 
301:261,30['  ]| sincerely, could she feel less than herself!  As for$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele, 
301:261,31['  ]| she considered her so$5#1$ totally unamiable, so$5#1$ 
301:261,32['  ]| absolutely incapable of attaching a sensible$2#2$ man, that$3$ 
301:261,33['  ]| she could not be persuaded at first to$9$ believe, and afterwards 
301:261,34['  ]| to$9$ pardon$1$, any former affection of $SS#B$Edward for$4$ 
301:261,35['  ]| her.  She would not even$5$ admit it to$9$ have been natural$2$; 
301:261,36['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor left her to$9$ be convinced that$3$ it was so$5#2$, by$4$ that$6#2$ 
301:261,37['  ]| which$6#1$ only could convince her, a better knowledge of 
301:261,38['  ]| mankind. 
301:262,01['  ]| Her first communication had reached no$2$ farther than 
301:262,02['  ]| to$9$ state$1$ the fact of the engagement, and the length of 
301:262,03['  ]| time it had existed. ~~ $SS#C$Marianne's feelings had then broken 
301:262,04['  ]| in$5$, and put an end$0$ to$4$ all regularity of detail$0$; and for$4$ 
301:262,05['  ]| some time all that$6#1$ could be done was to$9$ sooth her distress$0$, 
301:262,06['  ]| lessen her alarms, and combat her resentment.  The 
301:262,07['  ]| first question$0$ on$4$ her side$0$, which$6#1$ led to$4$ farther particulars, 
301:262,08['  ]| was, 
301:262,09[C  ]| "How long has this been known to$4$ you, $SS#A$Elinor? has 
301:262,10[C  ]| he written to$4$ you?" 
301:262,11[A  ]| "I have known it these four months.  When $SS#Q$Lucy first 
301:262,12[A  ]| came to$4$ Barton-park last$2$ November, she told me in$4$ 
301:262,13[A  ]| confidence of her engagement." 
301:262,14['  ]| At these words, $SS#C$Marianne's eyes expressed the 
301:262,15['  ]| astonishment, which$6#1$ her lips could not utter$1$.  After$4$ a 
301:262,16['  ]| pause$0$ of wonder$0$, she exclaimed, 
301:262,17[C  ]| "Four months! ~~ Have you known of this four 
301:262,18[C  ]| months?" ~~ 
301:262,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor confirmed it. 
301:262,20[C  ]| "What! ~~ while$4$ attending me in$4$ all my misery, has 
301:262,21[C  ]| this been on$4$ your heart? ~~ and I have reproached you 
301:262,22[C  ]| for$4$ being$1$ happy!" ~~ 
301:262,23[A  ]| "It was not fit$2$ that$3$ you should then know how much 
301:262,24[A  ]| I was the reverse!" ~~ 
301:262,25[C  ]| "Four months!" ~~ 
301:262,25['  ]| cried $SS#C$Marianne again. ~~ 
301:262,25[C  ]| "So$5#1$ calm$2$! 
301:262,26[C  ]| ~~ so$5#1$ cheerful! ~~ how have you been supported?" ~~ 
301:262,27[A  ]| "By$4$ feeling that$3$ I was doing my duty. ~~ My promise$0$ 
301:262,28[A  ]| to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, obliged me to$9$ be secret$2$.  I owed it to$4$ her, 
301:262,29[A  ]| therefore, to$9$ avoid giving any hint$0$ of the truth; and 
301:262,30[A  ]| I owed it to$4$ my family and friends, not to$9$ create in$4$ them 
301:262,31[A  ]| a solicitude about$4$ me, which$6#1$ it could not be in$4$ my power 
301:262,32[A  ]| to$9$ satisfy." 
301:262,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne seemed much struck. ~~ 
301:262,34[A  ]| "I have very often wished to$9$ undeceive yourself and 
301:262,35[A  ]| my mother," 
301:262,35['  ]| added $SS#A$Elinor; 
301:262,35[A  ]| "and once or twice I have 
301:262,36[A  ]| attempted it; ~~ but without betraying my trust$0$, I never 
301:262,37[A  ]| could have convinced you." 
301:262,38[C  ]| "Four months! ~~ and yet you loved him!" ~~ 
301:263,01[A  ]| "Yes.  But I did not love$1$ only him; ~~ and while$3$ the 
301:263,02[A  ]| comfort$0$ of others was dear$2#1$ to$4$ me, I was glad to$9$ spare$1$ 
301:263,03[A  ]| them from knowing how much I felt.  Now, I can think 
301:263,04[A  ]| and speak of it with little emotion.  I would not have 
301:263,05[A  ]| you suffer on$4$ my account$0$; for$3$ I assure you I no$2$ 
301:263,06[A  ]| longer suffer materially myself.  I have many things to$9$ 
301:263,07[A  ]| support$1$ me.  I am not conscious of having provoked the 
301:263,08[A  ]| disappointment by$4$ any imprudence of my own$2$, and I 
301:263,09[A  ]| have borne it as much as possible without spreading it 
301:263,10[A  ]| farther.  I acquit $SS#B$Edward of all essential misconduct. 
301:263,11[A  ]| I wish$1$ him very happy; and I am so$5#1$ sure of his always 
301:263,12[A  ]| doing his duty, that$3$ though now he may$1$ harbour$1$ some 
301:263,13[A  ]| regret$0$, in$4$ the end$0$ he must become so$5#2$.  $SS#Q$Lucy does not 
301:263,14[A  ]| want$1$ sense, and that$6#2$ is the foundation on$4$ which$6#1$ every*thing 
301:263,15[A  ]| good may$1$ be built. ~~ And after$4$ all, $SS#C$Marianne, after$4$ 
301:263,16[A  ]| all that$6#1$ is bewitching in$4$ the idea of a single and constant 
301:263,17[A  ]| attachment, and all that$6#1$ can be said of one's happiness 
301:263,18[A  ]| depending entirely on$4$ any particular person, it is not 
301:263,19[A  ]| meant ~~ it is not fit$2$ ~~ it is not possible that$3$ it should be 
301:263,20[A  ]| so$5#2$. ~~ $SS#B$Edward will$1$ marry $SS#Q$Lucy; he will$1$ marry a woman 
301:263,21[A  ]| superior in$4$ person and understanding to$4$ half her sex; 
301:263,22[A  ]| and time and habit will$1$ teach him to$9$ forget that$3$ he ever 
301:263,23[A  ]| thought$1$ another superior to$4$ \her\." ~~ 
301:263,24[C  ]| "If such is your way of thinking," 
301:263,24['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
301:263,24[C  ]| "if 
301:263,25[C  ]| the loss of what is most valued is so$5#1$ easily to$9$ be made up$5$ 
301:263,26[C  ]| by$4$ something else, your resolution, your self-command, 
301:263,27[C  ]| are, perhaps, a little less to$9$ be wondered at. ~~ They are 
301:263,28[C  ]| brought more within my comprehension." 
301:263,29[A  ]| "I understand you. ~~ You do not suppose that$3$ I have 
301:263,30[A  ]| ever felt much. ~~ For$4$ four months, $SS#C$Marianne, I have had 
301:263,31[A  ]| all this hanging on$4$ my mind$0$, without being$1$ at liberty 
301:263,32[A  ]| to$9$ speak of it to$4$ a single creature; knowing that$3$ it would 
301:263,33[A  ]| make$1$ you and my mother most unhappy whenever it 
301:263,34[A  ]| were explained to$4$ you, yet unable to$9$ prepare you for$4$ it 
301:263,35[A  ]| in$4$ the least. ~~ It was told me, ~~ it was in$4$ a manner forced 
301:263,36[A  ]| on$4$ me by$4$ the very person herself, whose$6#1$ prior engagement 
301:263,37[A  ]| ruined all my prospects; and told me, as I thought$1$, 
301:263,38[A  ]| with triumph$0$. ~~ This person's suspicions, therefore, I 
301:264,01[A  ]| have had to$9$ oppose, by$4$ endeavouring to$9$ appear indifferent 
301:264,02[A  ]| where I have been most deeply interested; ~~ 
301:264,03[A  ]| and it has not been only once; ~~ I have had her hopes$0$ 
301:264,04[A  ]| and exultation to$9$ listen to$4$ again and again. ~~ I have 
301:264,05[A  ]| known myself to$9$ be divided from $SS#B$Edward for*ever, 
301:264,06[A  ]| without hearing one circumstance that$6#1$ could make$1$ 
301:264,07[A  ]| me less desire$1$ the connection. ~~ Nothing has proved 
301:264,08[A  ]| him unworthy; nor has any*thing declared him indifferent 
301:264,09[A  ]| to$4$ me. ~~ I have had to$9$ contend against the 
301:264,10[A  ]| unkindness of his sister, and the insolence of his mother; 
301:264,11[A  ]| and have suffered the punishment of an attachment, 
301:264,12[A  ]| without enjoying its advantages. ~~ And all this has been 
301:264,13[A  ]| going on$5$ at a time, when, as you too$5#1$ well$5$ know, it has 
301:264,14[A  ]| not been my only unhappiness. ~~ If you can think me 
301:264,15[A  ]| capable of ever feeling ~~ surely you may$1$ suppose that$3$ 
301:264,16[A  ]| I have suffered \now\.  The composure of mind$0$ with which$6#1$ 
301:264,17[A  ]| I have brought myself at present$0#1$ to$9$ consider the matter, 
301:264,18[A  ]| the consolation that$6#1$ I have been willing to$9$ admit, have 
301:264,19[A  ]| been the effect$0$ of constant and painful exertion; ~~ they 
301:264,20[A  ]| did not spring$1$ up$5$ of themselves; ~~ they did not occur 
301:264,21[A  ]| to$9$ relieve my spirits at first ~~ No$7$, $SS#C$Marianne. ~~ \Then\, if 
301:264,22[A  ]| I had not been bound to$4$ silence$0$, perhaps nothing could 
301:264,23[A  ]| have kept me entirely ~~ not even$5$ what I owed to$4$ my 
301:264,24[A  ]| dearest friends ~~ from openly shewing that$3$ I was \very\ 
301:264,25[A  ]| unhappy." ~~ 
301:264,26['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was quite subdued. ~~ 
301:264,27[C  ]| "Oh! $SS#A$Elinor," 
301:264,27['  ]| she cried, 
301:264,27[C  ]| "you have made me hate 
301:264,28[C  ]| myself for*ever. ~~ How barbarous have I been to$4$ you! 
301:264,29[C  ]| ~~ you, who$6#1$ have been my only comfort$0$, who$6#1$ have borne 
301:264,30[C  ]| with me in$4$ all my misery, who$6#1$ have seemed to$9$ be only 
301:264,31[C  ]| suffering for$4$ me! ~~ Is this my gratitude! ~~ Is this the only 
301:264,32[C  ]| return$0$ I can make$1$ you? ~~ Because your merit$0$ cries out$5$ 
301:264,33[C  ]| upon$4$ myself, I have been trying to$9$ do it away." 
301:264,34['  ]| The tenderest caresses followed this confession.  In$4$ 
301:264,35['  ]| such a frame of mind$0$ as she was now in$4$, $SS#A$Elinor had no$2$ 
301:264,36['  ]| difficulty in$4$ obtaining from her whatever promise$0$ she required; 
301:264,37['  ]| and at her request$0$, $SS#C$Marianne engaged never to$9$ 
301:264,38['  ]| speak of the affair to$4$ any*one with the least appearance 
301:265,01['  ]| of bitterness; ~~ to$9$ meet$1$ $SS#Q$Lucy without betraying the 
301:265,02['  ]| smallest increase$0$ of dislike$0$ to$4$ her; ~~ and even$5$ to$9$ see 
301:265,03['  ]| $SS#B$Edward himself, if chance$0$ should bring them together, 
301:265,04['  ]| without any diminution of her usual cordiality. ~~ These 
301:265,05['  ]| were great concessions; ~~ but where $SS#C$Marianne felt that$3$ 
301:265,06['  ]| she had injured, no$2$ reparation could be too$5#1$ much for$4$ 
301:265,07['  ]| her to$9$ make$1$. 
301:265,08['  ]| She performed her promise$0$ of being$1$ discreet, to$4$ 
301:265,09['  ]| admiration. ~~ She attended to$4$ all that$6#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings had 
301:265,10['  ]| to$9$ say upon$4$ the subject$0$, with an unchanging complexion, 
301:265,11['  ]| dissented from her in$4$ nothing, and was heard three times 
301:265,12['  ]| to$9$ say, 
301:265,12[C  ]| "Yes, ma'am." ~~ 
301:265,12['  ]| She listened to$4$ her praise$0$ of $SS#Q$Lucy 
301:265,13['  ]| with only moving from one chair to$4$ another, and when 
301:265,14['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings talked of $SS#B$Edward's affection, it cost$1$ her only 
301:265,15['  ]| a spasm in$4$ her throat. ~~ Such advances$0$ towards heroism 
301:265,16['  ]| in$4$ her sister, made $SS#A$Elinor feel equal$2$ to$4$ any*thing herself. 
301:265,17['  ]| The next morning brought a farther trial of it, in$4$ a visit$0$ 
301:265,18['  ]| from their brother, who$6#1$ came with a most serious$2$ aspect 
301:265,19['  ]| to$9$ talk$1$ over the dreadful affair, and bring them news of 
301:265,20['  ]| his wife. 
301:265,21[F  ]| "You have heard, I suppose," 
301:265,21['  ]| said he with great 
301:265,22['  ]| solemnity, as soon as he was seated, 
301:265,22[F  ]| "of the very 
301:265,23[F  ]| shocking discovery that$6#1$ took place$0$ under our roof 
301:265,24[F  ]| yesterday." 
301:265,25['  ]| They all looked their assent; it seemed too$5#1$ awful 
301:265,26['  ]| a moment for$4$ speech. 
301:265,27[F  ]| "Your sister," 
301:265,27['  ]| he continued, 
301:265,27[F  ]| "has suffered dreadfully. 
301:265,28[F  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars too$5#2$ ~~ in$4$ short it has been a scene of such 
301:265,29[F  ]| complicated distress$0$ ~~ but I will$1$ hope$1$ that$3$ the storm$0$ 
301:265,30[F  ]| may$1$ be weathered without our being$1$ any of us quite 
301:265,31[F  ]| overcome.  Poor $SS#G$Fanny! she was in$4$ hysterics all 
301:265,32[F  ]| yesterday.  But I would not alarm$1$ you too$5#1$ much. 
301:265,33[F  ]| $SS#W$Donavan says there is nothing materially to$9$ be apprehended; 
301:265,34[F  ]| her constitution is a good one, and her resolution 
301:265,35[F  ]| equal$2$ to$4$ any*thing.  She has borne it all, with the 
301:265,36[F  ]| fortitude of an angel!  She says she never shall think 
301:265,37[F  ]| well$5$ of anybody again; and one cannot wonder$1$ at it, 
301:265,38[F  ]| after$4$ being$1$ so$5#1$ deceived! ~~ meeting with such ingratitude, 
301:266,01[F  ]| where so$5#1$ much kindness had been shewn, so$5#1$ much 
301:266,02[F  ]| confidence had been placed!  It was quite out$5$ of the 
301:266,03[F  ]| benevolence of her heart, that$3$ she had asked these young 
301:266,04[F  ]| women to$4$ her house; merely because she thought$1$ they 
301:266,05[F  ]| deserved some attention, were harmless, well-behaved 
301:266,06[F  ]| girls, and would be pleasant companions; for$3$ otherwise 
301:266,07[F  ]| we both wished very much to$9$ have invited you and 
301:266,08[F  ]| $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ be with us, while$3$ your kind$2$ friend there, was 
301:266,09[F  ]| attending her daughter.  And now to$9$ be so$5#2$ rewarded! 
301:266,10@g   | ""I wish$1$ with all my heart,"" 
301:266,10[F  ]| says poor $SS#G$Fanny in$4$ her 
301:266,11[F  ]| affectionate way, 
301:266,11@g   | ""that$3$ we had asked your sisters instead 
301:266,12@g   | of them.""" 
301:266,13['  ]| Here he stopped to$9$ be thanked; which$6#1$ being$1$ done, 
301:266,14['  ]| he went on$5$. 
301:266,15[F  ]| "What poor $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars suffered, when first $SS#G$Fanny 
301:266,16[F  ]| broke it to$4$ her, is not to$9$ be described.  While$3$ she with 
301:266,17[F  ]| the truest affection had been planning a most eligible 
301:266,18[F  ]| connection for$4$ him, was it to$9$ be supposed that$3$ he could 
301:266,19[F  ]| be all the time secretly engaged to$4$ another person! ~~ 
301:266,20[F  ]| such a suspicion could never have entered her head$0$! 
301:266,21[F  ]| If she suspected \any\ prepossession elsewhere, it could 
301:266,22[F  ]| not be in$4$ \that$6#2$\ quarter$0#2$. 
301:266,22@i   | ""\There\, to$9$ be sure,"" 
301:266,22[F  ]| said she, 
301:266,23@i   | ""I might have thought$1$ myself safe."" 
301:266,23[F  ]| She was quite in$4$ 
301:266,24[F  ]| an agony.  We consulted together, however, as to$4$ what 
301:266,25[F  ]| should be done, and at last$0$ she determined to$9$ send for$4$ 
301:266,26[F  ]| $SS#B$Edward.  He came.  But I am sorry to$9$ relate what 
301:266,27[F  ]| ensued.  All that$6#1$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars could say to$9$ make$1$ him 
301:266,28[F  ]| put an end$0$ to$4$ the engagement, assisted too$5#2$ as you may$1$ 
301:266,29[F  ]| well$5$ suppose by$4$ my arguments, and $SS#G$Fanny's entreaties, 
301:266,30[F  ]| was of no$2$ avail.  Duty, affection, every*thing was disregarded. 
301:266,31[F  ]| I never thought$1$ $SS#B$Edward so$5#1$ stubborn, so$5#1$ 
301:266,32[F  ]| unfeeling before$5$.  His mother explained to$4$ him her 
301:266,33[F  ]| liberal designs, in$4$ case of his marrying $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton; 
301:266,34[F  ]| told him that$3$ she would settle on$4$ him the Norfolk estate, 
301:266,35[F  ]| which$6#1$, clear$2$ of land-tax, brings in$4$ a good thousand a-year; 
301:266,36[F  ]| offered even$5$, when matters grew desperate, to$9$ make$1$ it 
301:266,37[F  ]| twelve hundred; and in$4$ opposition to$4$ this, if he still$5$ 
301:266,38[F  ]| persisted in$4$ this low connection, represented to$4$ him the 
301:267,01[F  ]| certain penury that$6#1$ must attend the match$0$.  His own$2$ 
301:267,02[F  ]| two thousand pounds she protested should be his all; 
301:267,03[F  ]| she would never see him again; and so$5#1$ far would she 
301:267,04[F  ]| be from affording him the smallest assistance, that$3$ if he 
301:267,05[F  ]| were to$9$ enter into any profession$0#2$ with a view$0$ of better 
301:267,06[F  ]| support$0$, she would do all in$4$ her power to$9$ prevent his 
301:267,07[F  ]| advancing in$4$ it." 
301:267,08['  ]| Here $SS#C$Marianne, in$4$ an ecstacy of indignation, clapped 
301:267,09['  ]| her hands together, and cried, 
301:267,09[C  ]| "Gracious God! can 
301:267,10[C  ]| this be possible!" 
301:267,11[F  ]| "Well$5$ may$1$ you wonder$1$, $SS#C$Marianne," 
301:267,11['  ]| replied her 
301:267,12['  ]| brother, 
301:267,12[F  ]| "at the obstinacy which$6#1$ could resist such 
301:267,13[F  ]| arguments as these.  Your exclamation is very natural$2$." 
301:267,14['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was going to$9$ retort, but she remembered 
301:267,15['  ]| her promises$0$, and forbore. 
301:267,16[F  ]| "All this, however," 
301:267,16['  ]| he continued, 
301:267,16[F  ]| "was urged in$4$ 
301:267,17[F  ]| vain.  $SS#B$Edward said very little; but what he did say, 
301:267,18[F  ]| was in$4$ the most determined manner.  Nothing should 
301:267,19[F  ]| prevail on$4$ him to$9$ give up$5$ his engagement.  He would 
301:267,20[F  ]| stand$1$ to$4$ it, cost$1$ him what it might." 
301:267,21[K  ]| "Then," 
301:267,21['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings with blunt sincerity, 
301:267,22['  ]| no$2$ longer able to$9$ be silent, 
301:267,22[K  ]| "he has acted like$4$ an honest 
301:267,23[K  ]| man!  I beg your pardon$0$, $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood, but if he had 
301:267,24[K  ]| done otherwise, I should have thought$1$ him a rascal. 
301:267,25[K  ]| I have some little concern$0$ in$4$ the business, as well$5$ as yourself, 
301:267,26[K  ]| for$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele is my cousin, and I believe there 
301:267,27[K  ]| is not a better kind$0$ of girl in$4$ the world, nor one who$6#1$ 
301:267,28[K  ]| more deserves a good husband." 
301:267,29['  ]| $SS#F$John*Dashwood was greatly astonished; but his 
301:267,30['  ]| nature was calm$2$, not open$2$ to$4$ provocation, and he never 
301:267,31['  ]| wished to$9$ offend anybody, especially anybody of good 
301:267,32['  ]| fortune.  He therefore replied, without any resentment, 
301:267,33[F  ]| "I would by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ speak disrespectfully of any 
301:267,34[F  ]| relation of yours, madam.  $SS#Q$Miss*Lucy*Steele is, I dare$1#2$ 
301:267,35[F  ]| say, a very deserving young woman, but in$4$ the present$2$ 
301:267,36[F  ]| case you know, the connection must be impossible.  And 
301:267,37[F  ]| to$9$ have entered into a secret$2$ engagement with a young 
301:267,38[F  ]| man under her uncle's care$0$, the son of a woman especially 
301:268,01[F  ]| of such very large fortune as $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, is perhaps 
301:268,02[F  ]| altogether a little extraordinary.  In$4$ short, I do not 
301:268,03[F  ]| mean$1$ to$9$ reflect upon$4$ the behaviour of any person whom$6#1$ 
301:268,04[F  ]| you have a regard$0$ for$4$, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings.  We all wish$1$ her 
301:268,05[F  ]| extremely happy, and $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's conduct$0$ throughout 
301:268,06[F  ]| the whole$0$, has been such as every conscientious, 
301:268,07[F  ]| good mother, in$4$ like$2$ circumstances, would adopt.  It 
301:268,08[F  ]| has been dignified and liberal.  $SS#B$Edward has drawn his 
301:268,09[F  ]| own$2$ lot, and I fear$1$ it will$1$ be a bad one." 
301:268,10['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne sighed out$5$ her similar apprehension; and 
301:268,11['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's heart wrung for$4$ the feelings of $SS#B$Edward, while$4$ 
301:268,12['  ]| braving his mother's threats, for$4$ a woman who$6#1$ could not 
301:268,13['  ]| reward$1$ him. 
301:268,14[K  ]| "Well$7$, sir," 
301:268,14['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
301:268,14[K  ]| "and how did it 
301:268,15[K  ]| end$1$?" 
301:268,16[F  ]| "I am sorry to$9$ say, ma'am, in$4$ a most unhappy 
301:268,17[F  ]| rupture: ~~ $SS#B$Edward is dismissed for*ever from his 
301:268,18[F  ]| mother's notice$0$.  He left her house yesterday, but where 
301:268,19[F  ]| he is gone, or whether he is still$5$ in$4$ town, I do not know; 
301:268,20[F  ]| for$3$ \we\ of course$8$ can make$1$ no$2$ inquiry." 
301:268,21[K  ]| "Poor young man! ~~ and what is to$9$ become of him?" 
301:268,22[F  ]| "What, indeed, ma'am!  It is a melancholy$2$ consideration. 
301:268,23[F  ]| Born$1#1$ to$4$ the prospect of such affluence!  I cannot 
301:268,24[F  ]| conceive a situation more deplorable.  The interest$0$ of 
301:268,25[F  ]| two thousand pounds ~~ how can a man live on$4$ it! ~~ and 
301:268,26[F  ]| when to$4$ that$6#2$ is added the recollection, that$3$ he might, but 
301:268,27[F  ]| for$4$ his own$2$ folly, within three months have been in$4$ the 
301:268,28[F  ]| receipt of two thousand, five hundred a-year, (for$3$ $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton 
301:268,29[F  ]| has thirty thousand pounds,) I cannot picture$1$ 
301:268,30[F  ]| to$4$ myself a more wretched condition$0$.  We must all feel 
301:268,31[F  ]| for$4$ him; and the more so$5#2$, because it is totally out$5$ of our 
301:268,32[F  ]| power to$9$ assist him." 
301:268,33[K  ]| "Poor young man!" 
301:268,33['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
301:268,33[K  ]| "I am 
301:268,34[K  ]| sure he should be very welcome$2$ to$4$ bed and board at my 
301:268,35[K  ]| house; and so$5#2$ I would tell him if I could see him.  It is 
301:268,36[K  ]| not fit$2$ that$3$ he should be living about$5$ at his own$2$ charge$0$ 
301:268,37[K  ]| now, at lodgings and taverns." 
301:268,38['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's heart thanked her for$4$ such kindness towards 
301:269,01['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, though she could not forbear smiling at the 
301:269,02['  ]| form$0$ of it. 
301:269,03[F  ]| "If he would only have done as well$5$ by$4$ himself," 
301:269,03['  ]| said 
301:269,04['  ]| $SS#F$John*Dashwood, 
301:269,04[F  ]| "as all his friends were disposed to$9$ do 
301:269,05[F  ]| by$4$ him, he might now have been in$4$ his proper situation, 
301:269,06[F  ]| and would have wanted for$4$ nothing.  But as it is, it must 
301:269,07[F  ]| be out$5$ of anybody's power to$9$ assist him.  And there is 
301:269,08[F  ]| one thing more preparing against him, which$6#1$ must be 
301:269,09[F  ]| worse than all ~~ his mother has determined, with a very 
301:269,10[F  ]| natural$2$ kind$0$ of spirit, to$9$ settle \that$6#2$\ estate upon$4$ $SS#J$Robert 
301:269,11[F  ]| immediately, which$6#1$ might have been $SS#B$Edward's, on$4$ 
301:269,12[F  ]| proper conditions.  I left her this morning with her 
301:269,13[F  ]| lawyer, talking over the business." 
301:269,14[K  ]| "Well$7$!" 
301:269,14['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
301:269,14[K  ]| "that$6#2$ is \her\ revenge. 
301:269,15[K  ]| Everybody has a way of their own$2$.  But I don't think 
301:269,16[K  ]| mine$6$ would be, to$9$ make$1$ one son independent, because 
301:269,17[K  ]| another had plagued me." 
301:269,18['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne got up$5$, and walked about$4$ the room. 
301:269,19[F  ]| "Can any*thing be more galling to$4$ the spirit of a man," 
301:269,20['  ]| continued $SS#F$John, 
301:269,20[F  ]| "than to$9$ see his younger brother in$4$ 
301:269,21[F  ]| possession of an estate which$6#1$ might have been his own$2$? 
301:269,22[F  ]| Poor $SS#B$Edward!  I feel for$4$ him sincerely." 
301:269,23['  ]| A few minutes more spent in$4$ the same kind$0$ of effusion, 
301:269,24['  ]| concluded his visit$0$; and with repeated assurances to$4$ 
301:269,25['  ]| his sisters that$3$ 
301:269,25@f   | he really believed there was no$2$ material$2$ 
301:269,26@f   | danger in$4$ $SS#G$Fanny's indisposition, and that$3$ they need$1$ not 
301:269,27@f   | therefore be very uneasy about$4$ it, 
301:269,27['  ]| he went away; leaving 
301:269,28['  ]| the three ladies unanimous in$4$ their sentiments on$4$ the 
301:269,29['  ]| present$2$ occasion$0$, as far at least as it regarded $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's 
301:269,30['  ]| conduct$0$, the $SS#F1$Dashwoods' and $SS#B$Edward's. 
301:269,31['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's indignation burst$1$ forth as soon as he 
301:269,32['  ]| quitted the room; and as her vehemence made reserve$0$ 
301:269,33['  ]| impossible in$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, and unnecessary in$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
301:269,34['  ]| they all joined in$4$ a very spirited critique upon$4$ the party. 
302:270,01['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was very warm$2$ in$4$ her praise$0$ of $SS#B$Edward's 
302:270,02['  ]| conduct$0$, but only $SS#A$Elinor and $SS#C$Marianne understood its 
302:270,03['  ]| true merit$0$.  \They\ only knew how little he had had to$9$ 
302:270,04['  ]| tempt him to$9$ be disobedient, and how small was the 
302:270,05['  ]| consolation, beyond$4$ the consciousness of doing right$0$, that$6#1$ 
302:270,06['  ]| could remain to$4$ him in$4$ the loss of friends and fortune. 
302:270,07['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor gloried in$4$ his integrity; and $SS#C$Marianne forgave 
302:270,08['  ]| all his offences in$4$ compassion for$4$ his punishment.  But 
302:270,09['  ]| though confidence between them was, by$4$ this public$2$ 
302:270,10['  ]| discovery, restored to$9$ its proper state$0$, it was not a 
302:270,11['  ]| subject$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ either of them were fond of dwelling 
302:270,12['  ]| when alone.  $SS#A$Elinor avoided it upon$4$ principle, as tending 
302:270,13['  ]| to$9$ fix still$5$ more upon$4$ her thoughts, by$4$ the too$5#1$ warm$2$, 
302:270,14['  ]| too$5#1$ positive assurances of $SS#C$Marianne, that$6#2$ belief of 
302:270,15['  ]| $SS#B$Edward's continued affection for$4$ herself which$6#1$ she rather 
302:270,16['  ]| wished to$9$ do away; and $SS#C$Marianne's courage soon failed 
302:270,17['  ]| her, in$4$ trying to$9$ converse upon$4$ a topic which$6#1$ always 
302:270,18['  ]| left her more dissatisfied with herself than ever, by$4$ the 
302:270,19['  ]| comparison it necessarily produced between $SS#A$Elinor's 
302:270,20['  ]| conduct$0$ and her own$2$. 
302:270,21['  ]| She felt all the force$0$ of that$6#2$ comparison; but not as 
302:270,22['  ]| her sister had hoped, to$9$ urge her to$4$ exertion now; she felt 
302:270,23['  ]| it with all the pain$0$ of continual self-reproach, regretted 
302:270,24['  ]| most bitterly that$3$ she had never exerted herself before$5$; 
302:270,25['  ]| but it brought only the torture of penitence, without 
302:270,26['  ]| the hope$0$ of amendment.  Her mind$0$ was so$5#1$ much 
302:270,27['  ]| weakened that$3$ she still$5$ fancied present$2$ exertion impossible, 
302:270,28['  ]| and therefore it only dispirited her more. 
302:270,29['  ]| Nothing new was heard by$4$ them, for$4$ a day or two 
302:270,30['  ]| afterwards, of affairs in$4$ Harley-street, or Bartlett's*Buildings. 
302:270,31['  ]| But though so$5#1$ much of the matter was 
302:270,32['  ]| known to$4$ them already, that$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings might have 
302:270,33['  ]| had enough to$9$ do in$4$ spreading that$6#2$ knowledge farther, 
302:271,01['  ]| without seeking after$4$ more, she had resolved from the 
302:271,02['  ]| first to$9$ pay$1$ a visit$0$ of comfort$0$ and inquiry to$4$ her cousins 
302:271,03['  ]| as soon as she could; and nothing but the hindrance of 
302:271,04['  ]| more visitors than usual, had prevented her going to$4$ 
302:271,05['  ]| them within that$6#2$ time. 
302:271,06['  ]| The third day succeeding their knowledge of the 
302:271,07['  ]| particulars, was so$5#1$ fine, so$5#1$ beautiful a Sunday as to$9$ draw 
302:271,08['  ]| many to$4$ Kensington*Gardens, though it was only the 
302:271,09['  ]| second$2$ week in$4$ March.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings and $SS#A$Elinor were 
302:271,10['  ]| of the number; but $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ knew that$3$ the 
302:271,11['  ]| $SS#R1$Willoughbys were again in$4$ town, and had a constant 
302:271,12['  ]| dread$0$ of meeting them, chose rather to$9$ stay$1$ at home, 
302:271,13['  ]| than venture into so$5#1$ public$2$ a place$0$. 
302:271,14['  ]| An intimate$2$ acquaintance of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings joined 
302:271,15['  ]| them soon after$3$ they entered the Gardens, and $SS#A$Elinor 
302:271,16['  ]| was not sorry that$3$ by$4$ her continuing with them, and 
302:271,17['  ]| engaging all $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's conversation, she was herself 
302:271,18['  ]| left to$4$ quiet$2$ reflection.  She saw nothing of the 
302:271,19['  ]| $SS#R1$Willoughbys, nothing of $SS#B$Edward, and for$4$ some time 
302:271,20['  ]| nothing of anybody who$6#1$ could by$4$ any chance$0$ whether 
302:271,21['  ]| grave$2$ or gay, be interesting to$4$ her.  But at last$0$ she found 
302:271,22['  ]| herself with some surprise$0$, accosted by$4$ $SS#P$Miss*Steele, who$6#1$, 
302:271,23['  ]| though looking rather shy, expressed great satisfaction 
302:271,24['  ]| in$4$ meeting them, and on$4$ receiving encouragement from 
302:271,25['  ]| the particular kindness of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, left her own$2$ 
302:271,26['  ]| party for$4$ a short time, to$9$ join their's.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
302:271,27['  ]| immediately whispered to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor. 
302:271,28[K  ]| "Get it all out$5$ of her, my dear$2#1$.  She will$1$ tell you any*thing 
302:271,29[K  ]| if you ask.  You see I cannot leave$1$ $SS#ZG$Mrs%*Clarke." 
302:271,30['  ]| It was lucky, however, for$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's curiosity and 
302:271,31['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's too$5#2$, that$3$ she would tell any*thing \without\ being$1$ 
302:271,32['  ]| asked, for$3$ nothing would otherwise have been learnt. 
302:271,33[P  ]| "I am so$5#1$ glad to$9$ meet$1$ you;" 
302:271,33['  ]| said $SS#P$Miss*Steele, taking 
302:271,34['  ]| her familiarly by$4$ the arm$0$ ~~ 
302:271,34[P  ]| "for$3$ I wanted to$9$ see you of 
302:271,35[P  ]| all things in$4$ the world." 
302:271,35['  ]| And then lowering her voice, 
302:271,36[P  ]| "I suppose $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings has heard all about$4$ it.  Is she 
302:271,37[P  ]| angry?" 
302:271,38[A  ]| "Not at all, I believe, with you." 
302:272,01[P  ]| "That$6#2$ is a good thing.  And $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, is \she\ 
302:272,02[P  ]| angry?" 
302:272,03[A  ]| "I cannot suppose it possible that$3$ she should." 
302:272,04[P  ]| "I am monstrous glad of it.  Good gracious!  I have 
302:272,05[P  ]| had such a time of it!  I never saw $SS#Q$Lucy in$4$ such a rage 
302:272,06[P  ]| in$4$ my life.  She vowed at first she would never trim me 
302:272,07[P  ]| up$5$ a new bonnet, nor do any*thing else for$4$ me again, so$5#1$ 
302:272,08[P  ]| long as she lived; but now she is quite come to$4$, and we 
302:272,09[P  ]| are as good friends as ever.  Look$1$, she made me this 
302:272,10[P  ]| bow$0#1$ to$4$ my hat, and put in$5$ the feather last$2$ night.  There 
302:272,11[P  ]| now, \you\ are going to$9$ laugh$1$ at me too$5#2$.  But why should 
302:272,12[P  ]| not I wear pink ribbons?  I do not care$1$ if it is the 
302:272,13[P  ]| $SS#ZJ$Doctor's favourite$2$ colour.  I am sure, for$4$ my part$0$, I 
302:272,14[P  ]| should never have known he \did\ like$1$ it better than any 
302:272,15[P  ]| other colour, if he had not happened to$9$ say so$5#2$.  My 
302:272,16[P  ]| cousins have been so$5#2$ plaguing me! ~~ I declare sometimes 
302:272,17[P  ]| I do not know which$6#1$ way to$9$ look$1$ before$4$ them." 
302:272,18['  ]| She had wandered away to$4$ a subject$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor 
302:272,19['  ]| had nothing to$9$ say, and therefore soon judged it expedient$2$ 
302:272,20['  ]| to$9$ find her way back$5$ again to$4$ the first. 
302:272,21[P  ]| "Well$7$, but $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood," 
302:272,21['  ]| speaking triumphantly, 
302:272,22[P  ]| "people may$1$ say what they chuse about$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars's 
302:272,23[P  ]| declaring he would not have $SS#Q$Lucy, for$3$ it's no$2$ such a 
302:272,24[P  ]| thing I can tell you; and it's quite a shame$0$ for$4$ such 
302:272,25[P  ]| ill-natured reports to$9$ be spread abroad.  Whatever $SS#Q$Lucy 
302:272,26[P  ]| might think about$4$ it herself, you know, it was no$2$ business 
302:272,27[P  ]| of other people to$9$ set$1$ it down$5$ for$4$ certain." 
302:272,28[A  ]| "I never heard anything of the kind$0$ hinted at before$5$, 
302:272,29[A  ]| I assure you," 
302:272,29['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
302:272,30[P  ]| "Oh! did not you?  But it \was\ said, I know, very 
302:272,31[P  ]| well$5$, and by$4$ more than one; for$3$ $SS#ZQ$Miss*Godby told $SS#ZZF$Miss*Sparks, 
302:272,32[P  ]| that$3$ nobody in$4$ their senses could expect $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars 
302:272,33[P  ]| to$9$ give up$5$ a woman like$4$ $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton, with 
302:272,34[P  ]| thirty thousand pounds to$4$ her fortune, for$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele 
302:272,35[P  ]| that$6#1$ had nothing at all; and I had it from $SS#ZZF$Miss*Sparks 
302:272,36[P  ]| myself.  And besides that$6#2$, my cousin $SS#ZW$Richard said 
302:272,37[P  ]| himself, that$3$ when it came to$4$ the point$0$, he was afraid 
302:272,38[P  ]| $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars would be off; and when $SS#B$Edward did not 
302:273,01[P  ]| come near$4$ us for$4$ three days, I could not tell what to$9$ 
302:273,02[P  ]| think myself; and I believe in$4$ my heart $SS#Q$Lucy gave it 
302:273,03[P  ]| all up$5$ for$4$ lost; for$3$ we came away from your brother's on$4$ 
302:273,04[P  ]| Wednesday, and we saw nothing of him not all Thursday, 
302:273,05[P  ]| Friday, and Saturday, and did not know what was 
302:273,06[P  ]| become with him.  Once $SS#Q$Lucy thought$1$ to$9$ write to$4$ him, 
302:273,07[P  ]| but then her spirit rose$1$ against that$6#2$.  However this 
302:273,08[P  ]| morning he came just$5$ as we came home from church; 
302:273,09[P  ]| and then it all came out$5$, how he had been sent for$5$ 
302:273,10[P  ]| Wednesday to$4$ Harley-street, and been talked to$4$ by$4$ 
302:273,11[P  ]| his mother and all of them, and how he had declared 
302:273,12[P  ]| before$4$ them all that$3$ he loved nobody but $SS#Q$Lucy, and 
302:273,13[P  ]| nobody but $SS#Q$Lucy would he have.  And how he had been 
302:273,14[P  ]| so$5#1$ worried by$4$ what passed, that$3$ as soon as he had went 
302:273,15[P  ]| away from his mother's house, he had got upon$4$ his 
302:273,16[P  ]| horse, and rid into the country some*where or other; 
302:273,17[P  ]| and how he had staid about$5$ at an inn all Thursday and 
302:273,18[P  ]| Friday, on$4$ purpose to$9$ get the better of it.  And after$4$ 
302:273,19[P  ]| thinking it all over and over again, he said, it seemed to$4$ 
302:273,20[P  ]| him as if, now he had no$2$ fortune, and no$2$ nothing at all, 
302:273,21[P  ]| it would be quite unkind to$9$ keep her on$5$ to$4$ the engagement, 
302:273,22[P  ]| because it must be for$4$ her loss, for$3$ he had nothing 
302:273,23[P  ]| but two thousand pounds, and no$2$ hope$0$ of any*thing 
302:273,24[P  ]| else; and if he was to$9$ go into orders$0#2$, as he had some 
302:273,25[P  ]| thoughts, he could get nothing but a curacy, and how 
302:273,26[P  ]| was they to$9$ live upon$4$ that$6#2$? ~~ He could not bear$1$ to$9$ think 
302:273,27[P  ]| of her doing no$2$ better, and so$3$ he begged, if she had the 
302:273,28[P  ]| least mind$0$ for$4$ it, to$9$ put an end$0$ to$4$ the matter directly, 
302:273,29[P  ]| and leave$1$ him to$9$ shift$1$ for$4$ himself.  I heard him say all 
302:273,30[P  ]| this as plain as could possibly be.  And it was entirely 
302:273,31[P  ]| for$4$ \her\ sake, and upon$4$ \her\ account$0$, that$3$ he said a word 
302:273,32[P  ]| about$4$ being$1$ off, and not upon$4$ his own$2$.  I will$1$ take my 
302:273,33[P  ]| oath he never dropt a syllable of being$1$ tired of her, or 
302:273,34[P  ]| of wishing to$9$ marry $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton, or anything like$4$ it. 
302:273,35[P  ]| But, to$9$ be sure, $SS#Q$Lucy would not give ear to$4$ such kind$0$ of 
302:273,36[P  ]| talking; so$3$ she told him directly (with a great deal$0$ about$4$ 
302:273,37[P  ]| sweet and love$0$, you know, and all that$6#2$ ~~ Oh, la! one 
302:273,38[P  ]| can't repeat such kind$0$ of things you know) ~~ she told 
302:274,01[P  ]| him directly, she had not the least mind$0$ in$4$ the world to$9$ 
302:274,02[P  ]| be off, for$3$ she could live with him upon$4$ a trifle$0$, and how 
302:274,03[P  ]| little so$5#1$ ever he might have, she should be very glad to$9$ 
302:274,04[P  ]| have it all, you know, or something of the kind$0$.  So$3$ then 
302:274,05[P  ]| he was monstrous happy, and talked on$5$ some time about$4$ 
302:274,06[P  ]| what they should do, and they agreed he should take 
302:274,07[P  ]| orders$0#2$ directly, and they must wait to$9$ be married till he 
302:274,08[P  ]| got a living.  And just$5$ then I could not hear any more, 
302:274,09[P  ]| for$3$ my cousin called from below to$9$ tell me $SS#ZX$Mrs%*Richardson 
302:274,10[P  ]| was come in$4$ her coach, and would take one of us to$4$ 
302:274,11[P  ]| Kensington*Gardens; so$3$ I was forced to$9$ go into the 
302:274,12[P  ]| room and interrupt them, to$9$ ask $SS#Q$Lucy if she would like$1$ 
302:274,13[P  ]| to$9$ go, but she did not care$1$ to$9$ leave$1$ $SS#B$Edward; so$3$ I just$5$ 
302:274,14[P  ]| run$1$ up*stairs and put on$5$ a pair$0$ of silk stockings, and came 
302:274,15[P  ]| off with the $SS#ZX$Richardsons." 
302:274,16[A  ]| "I do not understand what you mean$1$ by$4$ interrupting 
302:274,17[A  ]| them" 
302:274,17['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor; 
302:274,17[A  ]| "you were all in$4$ the same room 
302:274,18[A  ]| together, were not you?" 
302:274,19[P  ]| "No$7$, indeed, not us.  La!  $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, do you 
302:274,20[P  ]| think people make$1$ love$0$ when any*body else is by$5$?  Oh 
302:274,21[P  ]| for$4$ shame$0$! ~~ To$9$ be sure you must know better than that$6#2$. 
302:274,22['  ]| (Laughing affectedly.) ~~ 
302:274,22[P  ]| No$7$, no$7$; they were shut up$5$ in$4$ 
302:274,23[P  ]| the drawing-room together, and all I heard was only 
302:274,24[P  ]| by$4$ listening at the door." 
302:274,25[A  ]| "How!" 
302:274,25['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor; 
302:274,25[A  ]| "have you been repeating 
302:274,26[A  ]| to$4$ me what you only learnt yourself by$4$ listening at the 
302:274,27[A  ]| door?  I am sorry I did not know it before$5$; for$3$ I certainly 
302:274,28[A  ]| would not have suffered you to$9$ give me particulars 
302:274,29[A  ]| of a conversation which$6#1$ you ought not to$9$ have known 
302:274,30[A  ]| yourself.  How could you behave so$5#1$ unfairly by$4$ your 
302:274,31[A  ]| sister?" 
302:274,32[P  ]| "Oh, la! there is nothing in$4$ \that$6#2$\.  I only stood at the 
302:274,33[P  ]| door, and heard what I could.  And I am sure $SS#Q$Lucy 
302:274,34[P  ]| would have done just$5$ the same by$4$ me; for$3$ a year or two 
302:274,35[P  ]| back$5$, when $SS#ZZC$Martha*Sharpe and I had so$5#1$ many secrets 
302:274,36[P  ]| together, she never made any bones of hiding in$4$ a closet, 
302:274,37[P  ]| or behind a chimney-board, on$4$ purpose to$9$ hear what we 
302:274,38[P  ]| said." 
302:275,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor tried to$9$ talk$1$ of something else; but $SS#P$Miss*Steele 
302:275,02['  ]| could not be kept beyond$4$ a couple of minutes, from what 
302:275,03['  ]| was uppermost in$4$ her mind$0$. 
302:275,04[P  ]| "$SS#B$Edward talks of going to$4$ Oxford soon," 
302:275,04['  ]| said she, 
302:275,05[P  ]| "but now he is lodging at No%***, Pall*Mall.  What an 
302:275,06[P  ]| ill-natured woman his mother is, an't she?  And your 
302:275,07[P  ]| brother and sister were not very kind$2$!  However, 
302:275,08[P  ]| I shan't say anything against them to$4$ \you\; and to$9$ be 
302:275,09[P  ]| sure they did send us home in$4$ their own$2$ chariot, which$6#1$ 
302:275,10[P  ]| was more than I looked for$4$.  And for$4$ my part$0$, I was all 
302:275,11[P  ]| in$4$ a fright for$4$ fear$0$ your sister should ask us for$4$ the huswifes 
302:275,12[P  ]| she had gave us a day or two before$5$; but however, 
302:275,13[P  ]| nothing was said about$4$ them, and I took care$0$ to$9$ keep 
302:275,14[P  ]| mine$6$ out$5$ of sight.  $SS#B$Edward have got some business at 
302:275,15[P  ]| Oxford, he says; so$3$ he must go there for$4$ a time; and 
302:275,16[P  ]| after$4$ \that$6#2$\, as soon as he can light$1$ upon$4$ a Bishop, he will$1$ 
302:275,17[P  ]| be ordained.  I wonder$1$ what curacy he will$1$ get! ~~ Good 
302:275,18[P  ]| gracious! 
302:275,18['  ]| (giggling as she spoke) 
302:275,18[P  ]| I'd lay$1#1$ my life I know 
302:275,19[P  ]| what my cousins will$1$ say, when they hear of it.  They 
302:275,20[P  ]| will$1$ tell me I should write to$4$ the $SS#ZJ$Doctor, to$9$ get $SS#B$Edward 
302:275,21[P  ]| the curacy of his new living.  I know they will$1$; but I 
302:275,22[P  ]| am sure I would not do such a thing for$4$ all the world. ~~ 
302:275,23[P  ]| ""La!"" I shall say directly, ""I wonder$1$ how you could 
302:275,24[P  ]| think of such a thing.  \I\ write to$4$ the $SS#ZJ$Doctor, indeed!""" 
302:275,25[A  ]| "Well$7$," 
302:275,25['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
302:275,25[A  ]| "it is a comfort$0$ to$9$ be prepared 
302:275,26[A  ]| against the worst.  You have got your answer$0$ ready." 
302:275,27['  ]| $SS#P$Miss*Steele was going to$9$ reply$1$ on$4$ the same subject$0$, 
302:275,28['  ]| but the approach$0$ of her own$2$ party made another more 
302:275,29['  ]| necessary. 
302:275,30[P  ]| "Oh, la! here come the $SS#ZX$Richardsons.  I had a vast 
302:275,31[P  ]| deal$0$ more to$9$ say to$4$ you, but I must not stay$1$ away from 
302:275,32[P  ]| them not any longer.  I assure you they are very genteel 
302:275,33[P  ]| people.  He makes a monstrous deal$0$ of money, and 
302:275,34[P  ]| they keep their own$2$ coach.  I have not time to$9$ speak to$4$ 
302:275,35[P  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings about$4$ it myself, but pray tell her I am 
302:275,36[P  ]| quite happy to$9$ hear she is not in$4$ anger$0$ against us, and 
302:275,37[P  ]| $SS#M$Lady*Middleton the same; and if any*thing should 
302:275,38[P  ]| happen to$9$ take you and your sister away, and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
302:276,01[P  ]| should want$1$ company, I am sure we should be 
302:276,02[P  ]| very glad to$9$ come and stay$1$ with her for$4$ as long a time 
302:276,03[P  ]| as she likes.  I suppose $SS#M$Lady*Middleton won't ask us 
302:276,04[P  ]| any more this bout.  Good*bye; I am sorry $SS#C$Miss*Marianne 
302:276,05[P  ]| was not here.  Remember me kindly to$4$ her. 
302:276,06[P  ]| La! if you have not got your spotted muslin on$5$! ~~ I 
302:276,07[P  ]| wonder$1$ you was not afraid of its being$1$ torn." 
302:276,08['  ]| Such was her parting concern$0$; for$3$ after$4$ this, she had 
302:276,09['  ]| time only to$9$ pay$1$ her farewell compliments to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
302:276,10['  ]| before$3$ her company was claimed by$4$ $SS#ZX$Mrs%*Richardson; 
302:276,11['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor was left in$4$ possession of knowledge 
302:276,12['  ]| which$6#1$ might feed her powers of reflection some 
302:276,13['  ]| time, though she had learnt very little more than what 
302:276,14['  ]| had been already foreseen and foreplanned in$4$ her own$2$ 
302:276,15['  ]| mind$0$.  $SS#B$Edward's marriage with $SS#Q$Lucy was as firmly 
302:276,16['  ]| determined on$5$, and the time of its taking place$0$ remained 
302:276,17['  ]| as absolutely uncertain, as she had concluded it would 
302:276,18['  ]| be; ~~ every*thing depended, exactly after$4$ her expectation, 
302:276,19['  ]| on$4$ his getting that$6#2$ preferment, of which$6#1$, at present$0#1$, 
302:276,20['  ]| there seemed not the smallest chance$0$. 
302:276,21['  ]| As soon as they returned to$4$ the carriage, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
302:276,22['  ]| was eager for$4$ information; but as $SS#A$Elinor wished to$9$ 
302:276,23['  ]| spread as little as possible intelligence that$6#1$ had in$4$ the 
302:276,24['  ]| first place$0$ been so$5#1$ unfairly obtained, she confined herself 
302:276,25['  ]| to$4$ the brief repetition of such simple$2$ particulars, as she 
302:276,26['  ]| felt assured that$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy, for$4$ the sake of her own$2$ consequence, 
302:276,27['  ]| would chuse to$9$ have known.  The continuance 
302:276,28['  ]| of their engagement, and the means$0$ that$6#1$ were to$9$ be taken 
302:276,29['  ]| for$4$ promoting its end$0$, was all her communication; and 
302:276,30['  ]| this produced from $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings the following natural$2$ 
302:276,31['  ]| remark$0$. 
302:276,32[K  ]| "Wait for$4$ his having a living! ~~ aye, we all know 
302:276,33[K  ]| how \that$6#2$\ will$1$ end$1$; ~~ they will$1$ wait a twelvemonth, and 
302:276,34[K  ]| finding no$2$ good comes of it, will$1$ set$1$ down$5$ upon$4$ a curacy 
302:276,35[K  ]| of fifty pounds a-year, with the interest$0$ of his two 
302:276,36[K  ]| thousand pounds, and what little matter $SS#ZZG$Mr%*Steele and 
302:276,37[K  ]| $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt can give her. ~~ Then they will$1$ have a child 
302:276,38[K  ]| every year! and Lord$7$ help$1$ 'em! how poor they will$1$ be! 
302:277,01[K  ]| ~~ I must see what I can give them towards furnishing 
302:277,02[K  ]| their house.  Two maids and two men indeed! ~~ as I 
302:277,03[K  ]| talked of t'other day. ~~ No$7$, no$7$, they must get a stout 
302:277,04[K  ]| girl of all works$0$. ~~ $SS#ZA$Betty's sister would never do for$4$ 
302:277,05[K  ]| them \now\." 
302:277,06['  ]| The next morning brought $SS#A$Elinor a letter by$4$ the 
302:277,07['  ]| two-penny post from $SS#Q$Lucy herself.  It was as follows:
302:277,08['  ]|  
302:277,09[Q  ]| \Bartlett's*Buildings\, \March\. 
302:277,10[Q  ]| I hope$1$ my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood will$1$ excuse$1$ the liberty 
302:277,11[Q  ]| I take of writing to$4$ her; but I know your friendship for$4$ 
302:277,12[Q  ]| me will$1$ make$1$ you pleased to$9$ hear such a good account$0$ 
302:277,13[Q  ]| of myself and my dear$2#1$ $SS#B$Edward, after$4$ all the troubles 
302:277,14[Q  ]| we have went through$5$ lately, therefore will$1$ make$1$ no$2$ 
302:277,15[Q  ]| more apologies, but proceed to$9$ say that$3$, thank God! 
302:277,16[Q  ]| though we have suffered dreadfully, we are both quite 
302:277,17[Q  ]| well$5$ now, and as happy as we must always be in$4$ one 
302:277,18[Q  ]| another's love$0$.  We have had great trials, and great 
302:277,19[Q  ]| persecutions, but however, at the same time, gratefully 
302:277,20[Q  ]| acknowledge many friends, yourself not the least among 
302:277,21[Q  ]| them, whose$6#1$ great kindness I shall always thankfully 
302:277,22[Q  ]| remember, as will$1$ $SS#B$Edward too$5#2$, who$6#1$ I have told of it. 
302:277,23[Q  ]| I am sure you will$1$ be glad to$9$ hear, as likewise dear$2#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
302:277,24[Q  ]| I spent two happy hours with him yesterday 
302:277,25[Q  ]| afternoon, he would not hear of our parting, though 
302:277,26[Q  ]| earnestly did I, as I thought$1$ my duty required, urge him 
302:277,27[Q  ]| to$4$ it for$4$ prudence sake, and would have parted for*ever 
302:277,28[Q  ]| on$4$ the spot, would he consent$1$ to$4$ it; but he said it should 
302:277,29[Q  ]| never be, he did not regard$1$ his mother's anger$0$, while$3$ he 
302:277,30[Q  ]| could have my affections; our prospects are not very 
302:277,31[Q  ]| bright, to$9$ be sure, but we must wait, and hope$1$ for$4$ the 
302:277,32[Q  ]| best; he will$1$ be ordained shortly, and should it ever be 
302:277,33[Q  ]| in$4$ your power to$9$ recommend him to$4$ any*body that$6#1$ has 
302:277,34[Q  ]| a living to$9$ bestow, am very sure you will$1$ not forget us, 
302:277,35[Q  ]| and dear$2#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings too$5#2$, trust$1$ she will$1$ speak a good 
302:277,36[Q  ]| word for$4$ us to$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John, or $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer, or any friend that$6#1$ 
302:277,37[Q  ]| may$1$ be able to$9$ assist us. ~~ Poor $SS#P$Anne was much to$9$ blame$1$ 
302:277,38[Q  ]| for$4$ what she did, but she did it for$4$ the best, so$3$ I say 
302:278,01[Q  ]| nothing; hope$1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings won't think it too$5#1$ much 
302:278,02[Q  ]| trouble$0$ to$9$ give us a call$0$, should she come this way any 
302:278,03[Q  ]| morning, 'twould be a great kindness, and my cousins 
302:278,04[Q  ]| would be proud to$9$ know her. ~~ My paper reminds me to$9$ 
302:278,05[Q  ]| conclude, and begging to$9$ be most gratefully and respectfully 
302:278,06[Q  ]| remembered to$4$ her, and to$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John, and $SS#M$Lady*Middleton, 
302:278,07[Q  ]| and the dear$2#1$ children, when you chance$1$ to$9$ 
302:278,08[Q  ]| see them, and love$0$ to$4$ $SS#C$Miss*Marianne, 
302:278,09[Q  ]| I am, &c% &c%
302:278,10[Q  ]| 
302:278,11['  ]| As soon as $SS#A$Elinor had finished it, she performed what 
302:278,12['  ]| she concluded to$9$ be its writer's real design$0$, by$4$ placing it 
302:278,13['  ]| in$4$ the hands of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, who$6#1$ read it aloud with 
302:278,14['  ]| many comments of satisfaction and praise$0$. 
302:278,15[K  ]| "Very well$5$ indeed! ~~ how prettily she writes! ~~ aye, 
302:278,16[K  ]| that$6#2$ was quite proper to$9$ let him be off if he would.  That$6#2$ 
302:278,17[K  ]| was just$5$ like$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy. ~~ Poor soul!  I wish$1$ I \could\ get him a 
302:278,18[K  ]| living with all my heart. ~~ She calls$1$ me dear$2#1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
302:278,19[K  ]| you see.  She is a good-hearted girl as ever lived. ~~ Very 
302:278,20[K  ]| well$5$ upon$4$ my word.  That$6#2$ sentence is very prettily 
302:278,21[K  ]| turned.  Yes, yes, I will$1$ go and see her, sure enough. 
302:278,22[K  ]| How attentive she is, to$9$ think of every*body! ~~ Thank 
302:278,23[K  ]| you, my dear$2#1$, for$4$ shewing it me.  It is as pretty$2$ a letter 
302:278,24[K  ]| as ever I saw, and does $SS#Q$Lucy's head$0$ and heart great 
302:278,25[K  ]| credit$0$." 
303:279,01['  ]| The $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods had now been rather more than 
303:279,02['  ]| two months in$4$ town, and $SS#C$Marianne's impatience to$9$ be 
303:279,03['  ]| gone increased every day.  She sighed for$4$ the air, the 
303:279,04['  ]| liberty, the quiet$0$ of the country; and fancied that$3$ if any 
303:279,05['  ]| place$0$ could give her ease$0$, Barton must do it.  $SS#A$Elinor was 
303:279,06['  ]| hardly less anxious than herself for$4$ their removal, and 
303:279,07['  ]| only so$5#1$ much less bent on$4$ its being$1$ effected immediately, 
303:279,08['  ]| as that$3$ she was conscious of the difficulties of so$5#1$ long 
303:279,09['  ]| a journey, which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne could not be brought to$9$ 
303:279,10['  ]| acknowledge.  She began, however, seriously to$9$ turn$1$ her 
303:279,11['  ]| thoughts towards its accomplishment, and had already 
303:279,12['  ]| mentioned their wishes$0$ to$4$ their kind$2$ hostess, who$6#1$ resisted 
303:279,13['  ]| them with all the eloquence of her good-will, when a plan 
303:279,14['  ]| was suggested, which$6#1$, though detaining them from home 
303:279,15['  ]| yet a few weeks longer, appeared to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor altogether 
303:279,16['  ]| much more eligible than any other.  The $SS#N1$Palmers were 
303:279,17['  ]| to$9$ remove$1$ to$4$ Cleveland about$4$ the end$0$ of March, for$4$ the 
303:279,18['  ]| Easter holidays; and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, with both her 
303:279,19['  ]| friends, received a very warm$2$ invitation from $SS#O$Charlotte 
303:279,20['  ]| to$9$ go with them.  This would not, in$4$ itself, have been 
303:279,21['  ]| sufficient for$4$ the delicacy of $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood; ~~ but it 
303:279,22['  ]| was inforced with so$5#1$ much real politeness by$4$ $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer 
303:279,23['  ]| himself, as, joined to$4$ the very great amendment of 
303:279,24['  ]| his manners towards them since her sister had been 
303:279,25['  ]| known to$9$ be unhappy, induced her to$9$ accept it with 
303:279,26['  ]| pleasure. 
303:279,27['  ]| When she told $SS#C$Marianne what she had done, however, 
303:279,28['  ]| her first reply$0$ was not very auspicious. 
303:279,29[C  ]| "Cleveland!" ~~ 
303:279,29['  ]| she cried, with great agitation. 
303:279,29[C  ]| "No$7$, 
303:279,30[C  ]| I cannot go to$4$ Cleveland." ~~ 
303:279,31[A  ]| "You forget," 
303:279,31['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, gently, 
303:279,31[A  ]| "that$3$ its situation 
303:279,32[A  ]| is not ~~ that$3$ it is not in$4$ the neighbourhood of ~~" 
303:279,33[C  ]| "But it is in$4$ Somersetshire. ~~ I cannot go into Somersetshire. ~~ 
303:280,01[C  ]| There, where I looked forward$5$ to$4$ going ~~ 
303:280,02[C  ]| No$7$, $SS#A$Elinor, you cannot expect me to$9$ go there." 
303:280,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor would not argue upon$4$ the propriety of overcoming 
303:280,04['  ]| such feelings; ~~ she only endeavoured to$9$ counteract 
303:280,05['  ]| them by$4$ working on$4$ others; ~~ and represented it, 
303:280,06['  ]| therefore, as a measure$0$ which$6#1$ would fix the time of 
303:280,07['  ]| her returning to$4$ that$6#2$ dear$2#1$ mother, whom$6#1$ she so$5#1$ much 
303:280,08['  ]| wished to$9$ see, in$4$ a more eligible, more comfortable 
303:280,09['  ]| manner, than any other plan could do, and perhaps 
303:280,10['  ]| without any greater delay$0$.  From Cleveland, which$6#1$ was 
303:280,11['  ]| within a few miles of Bristol, the distance$0$ to$4$ Barton was 
303:280,12['  ]| not beyond$4$ one day, though a long day's journey; and 
303:280,13['  ]| their mother's servant might easily come there to$9$ attend 
303:280,14['  ]| them down$5$; and as there could be no$2$ occasion$0$ for$4$ their 
303:280,15['  ]| staying above$4$ a week at Cleveland, they might now 
303:280,16['  ]| be at home in$4$ little more than three weeks' time.  As 
303:280,17['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's affection for$4$ her mother was sincere, it must 
303:280,18['  ]| triumph$1$, with little difficulty, over the imaginary evil 
303:280,19['  ]| she had started. 
303:280,20['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was so$5#1$ far from being$1$ weary of her 
303:280,21['  ]| guests, that$3$ she pressed them very earnestly to$9$ return$1$ 
303:280,22['  ]| with her again from Cleveland.  $SS#A$Elinor was grateful for$4$ 
303:280,23['  ]| the attention, but it could not alter their design$0$; and 
303:280,24['  ]| their mother's concurrence being$1$ readily gained, every*thing 
303:280,25['  ]| relative to$4$ their return$0$ was arranged as far as it 
303:280,26['  ]| could be; ~~ and $SS#C$Marianne found some relief in$4$ drawing 
303:280,27['  ]| up$5$ a statement of the hours, that$6#1$ were yet to$9$ divide her 
303:280,28['  ]| from Barton. 
303:280,29[K  ]| "Ah! $SS#H$Colonel, I do not know what you and I shall 
303:280,30[K  ]| do without the $SS#A1$Miss*Dashwoods;" ~~ 
303:280,30['  ]| was $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
303:280,31['  ]| address$0$ to$4$ him when he first called on$4$ her, after$4$ their 
303:280,32['  ]| leaving her was settled ~~ 
303:280,32[K  ]| "for$3$ they are quite resolved 
303:280,33[K  ]| upon$4$ going home from the $SS#N1$Palmers; ~~ and how forlorn 
303:280,34[K  ]| we shall be, when I come back$5$! ~~ Lord$7$! we shall sit and 
303:280,35[K  ]| gape at one another as dull as two cats." 
303:280,36['  ]| Perhaps $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was in$4$ hopes$0$, by$4$ this vigorous 
303:280,37['  ]| sketch of their future ennui, to$9$ provoke him to$9$ make$1$ 
303:280,38['  ]| that$6#2$ offer$0$, which$6#1$ might give himself an escape$0$ from it; ~~ 
303:281,01['  ]| and if so$5#2$, she had soon afterwards good reason$0$ to$9$ think 
303:281,02['  ]| her object$0$ gained; for$3$, on$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's moving to$4$ the window 
303:281,03['  ]| to$9$ take more expeditiously the dimensions of a print, 
303:281,04['  ]| which$6#1$ she was going to$9$ copy$1$ for$4$ her friend, he followed 
303:281,05['  ]| her to$4$ it with a look$0$ of particular meaning, and conversed 
303:281,06['  ]| with her there for$4$ several minutes.  The effect$0$ of his 
303:281,07['  ]| discourse on$4$ the lady too$5#2$, could not escape$1$ her observation, 
303:281,08['  ]| for$3$ though she was too$5#1$ honourable to$9$ listen, and 
303:281,09['  ]| had even$5$ changed her seat, on$4$ purpose that$3$ she might 
303:281,10['  ]| \not\ hear, to$4$ one close$5$ by$4$ the piano*forte= on$4$ which$6#1$ 
303:281,11['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was playing, she could not keep herself from 
303:281,12['  ]| seeing that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor changed colour, attended with agitation, 
303:281,13['  ]| and was too$5#1$ intent on$4$ what he said, to$9$ pursue her 
303:281,14['  ]| employment.  Still$5$ farther in$4$ confirmation of her hopes$0$, 
303:281,15['  ]| in$4$ the interval of $SS#C$Marianne's turning from one lesson to$4$ 
303:281,16['  ]| another, some words of the $SS#H$Colonel's inevitably reached 
303:281,17['  ]| her ear, in$4$ which$6#1$ he seemed to$9$ be apologizing for$4$ the 
303:281,18['  ]| badness of his house. 
303:281,18@k   | This set$1$ the matter beyond$4$ a doubt$0$. 
303:281,19['  ]| She wondered indeed at his thinking it necessary to$9$ do 
303:281,20['  ]| so$5#2$; ~~ but supposed it to$9$ be the proper etiquette.  What 
303:281,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor said in$4$ reply$0$ she could not distinguish, but judged 
303:281,22['  ]| from the motion of her lips that$3$ she did not think \that$6#2$\ 
303:281,23['  ]| any material$2$ objection; ~~ and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings commended 
303:281,24['  ]| her in$4$ her heart for$4$ being$1$ so$5#1$ honest.  They then talked 
303:281,25['  ]| on$5$ for$4$ a few minutes longer without her catching a 
303:281,26['  ]| syllable, when another lucky stop$0$ in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's performance 
303:281,27['  ]| brought her these words in$4$ the $SS#H$Colonel's calm$2$ 
303:281,28['  ]| voice, 
303:281,29[H  ]| "I am afraid it cannot take place$0$ very soon." 
303:281,30['  ]| Astonished and shocked at so$5#1$ unlover-like a speech, 
303:281,31['  ]| she was almost ready to$9$ cry$1$ out$5$, 
303:281,31@k   | "Lord$7$! what should 
303:281,32[K  ]| hinder it?" ~~ 
303:281,32['  ]| but checking her desire$0$, confined herself 
303:281,33['  ]| to$4$ this silent ejaculation. 
303:281,34@k   | "This is very strange! ~~ sure he need$1$ not wait to$9$ be 
303:281,35@k   | older." ~~ 
303:281,36['  ]| This delay$0$ on$4$ the $SS#H$Colonel's side$0$, however, did not seem 
303:281,37['  ]| to$9$ offend or mortify his fair companion in$4$ the least, for$3$ 
303:281,38['  ]| on$4$ their breaking up$5$ the conference soon afterwards, 
303:282,01['  ]| and moving different ways, $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings very plainly 
303:282,02['  ]| heard $SS#A$Elinor say, and with a voice which$6#1$ shewed her to$9$ 
303:282,03['  ]| feel what she said, 
303:282,04[A  ]| "I shall always think myself very much obliged to$4$ 
303:282,05[A  ]| you." 
303:282,06['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was delighted with her gratitude, and 
303:282,07['  ]| only wondered, that$3$ after$4$ hearing such a sentence, the 
303:282,08['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel should be able to$9$ take leave$0$ of them, as he 
303:282,09['  ]| immediately did, with the utmost sang-froid, and go 
303:282,10['  ]| away without making her any reply$0$! ~~ She had not 
303:282,11['  ]| thought$1$ her old friend could have made so$5#1$ indifferent a 
303:282,12['  ]| suitor. 
303:282,13['  ]| What had really passed between them was to$4$ this 
303:282,14['  ]| effect$0$. 
303:282,15[H  ]| "I have heard," 
303:282,15['  ]| said he, with great compassion, 
303:282,15[H  ]| "of 
303:282,16[H  ]| the injustice your friend $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars has suffered from 
303:282,17[H  ]| his family; for$3$ if I understand the matter right$2#1$, he has 
303:282,18[H  ]| been entirely cast off by$4$ them for$4$ persevering in$4$ his 
303:282,19[H  ]| engagement with a very deserving young woman ~~ 
303:282,20[H  ]| Have I been rightly informed? ~~ Is it so$5#2$?" ~~ 
303:282,21['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor told him that$3$ it was. 
303:282,22[H  ]| "The cruelty, the impolitic cruelty," ~~ 
303:282,22['  ]| he replied, with 
303:282,23['  ]| great feeling ~~ 
303:282,23[H  ]| "of dividing, or attempting to$9$ divide, 
303:282,24[H  ]| two young people long attached to$4$ each other, is terrible 
303:282,25[H  ]| ~~ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars does not know what she may$1$ be doing ~~ 
303:282,26[H  ]| what she may$1$ drive$1$ her son to$4$.  I have seen $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars 
303:282,27[H  ]| two or three times in$4$ Harley-street, and am much pleased 
303:282,28[H  ]| with him.  He is not a young man with whom$6#1$ one can 
303:282,29[H  ]| be intimately acquainted in$4$ a short time, but I have 
303:282,30[H  ]| seen enough of him to$9$ wish$1$ him well$5$ for$4$ his own$2$ sake, 
303:282,31[H  ]| and as a friend of yours, I wish$1$ it still$5$ more.  I understand 
303:282,32[H  ]| that$3$ he intends to$9$ take orders$0#2$.  Will$1$ you be so$5#1$ 
303:282,33[H  ]| good as to$9$ tell him that$3$ the living of Delaford, now just$5$ 
303:282,34[H  ]| vacant, as I am informed by$4$ this day's post, is his, if he 
303:282,35[H  ]| think it worth his acceptance ~~ but \that$6#2$\, perhaps, so$5#1$ 
303:282,36[H  ]| unfortunately circumstanced as he is now, it may$1$ be 
303:282,37[H  ]| nonsense to$9$ appear to$9$ doubt$1$; I only wish$1$ it were more 
303:282,38[H  ]| valuable. ~~ It is a rectory, but a small one; the late 
303:283,01[H  ]| incumbent, I believe, did not make$1$ more than 200\l%\ per*annum, 
303:283,02[H  ]| and though it is certainly capable of improvement, 
303:283,03[H  ]| I fear$1$, not to$4$ such an amount as to$9$ afford him 
303:283,04[H  ]| a very comfortable income.  Such as it is, however, my 
303:283,05[H  ]| pleasure in$4$ presenting him to$4$ it, will$1$ be very great. 
303:283,06[H  ]| Pray assure him of it." 
303:283,07['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's astonishment at this commission could hardly 
303:283,08['  ]| have been greater, had the $SS#H$Colonel been really making 
303:283,09['  ]| her an offer$0$ of his hand$0$.  The preferment, which$6#1$ only two 
303:283,10['  ]| days before$5$ she had considered as hopeless for$4$ $SS#B$Edward, 
303:283,11['  ]| was already provided to$9$ enable him to$9$ marry; ~~ 
303:283,11@a   | and 
303:283,12@a   | \she\, of all people in$4$ the world, was fixed on$5$ to$9$ bestow 
303:283,13@a   | it! ~~ 
303:283,13['  ]| Her emotion was such as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings had attributed 
303:283,14['  ]| to$4$ a very different cause; ~~ but whatever minor 
303:283,15['  ]| feelings less pure, less pleasing, might have a share$0$ in$4$ 
303:283,16['  ]| that$6#2$ emotion, her esteem$0$ for$4$ the general$2$ benevolence, 
303:283,17['  ]| and her gratitude for$4$ the particular friendship, which$6#1$ 
303:283,18['  ]| together prompted $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon to$4$ this act$0$, were 
303:283,19['  ]| strongly felt, and warmly expressed.  She thanked him 
303:283,20['  ]| for$4$ it with all her heart, spoke of $SS#B$Edward's principles 
303:283,21['  ]| and disposition with that$6#2$ praise$0$ which$6#1$ she knew them 
303:283,22['  ]| to$9$ deserve; and promised to$9$ undertake the commission 
303:283,23['  ]| with pleasure, if it were really his wish$0$ to$9$ put off so$5#1$ 
303:283,24['  ]| agreeable an office to$4$ another.  But at the same time, 
303:283,25['  ]| she could not help$1$ thinking that$3$ no*one could so$5#1$ well$5$ 
303:283,26['  ]| perform it as himself.  It was an office in$4$ short, from 
303:283,27['  ]| which$6#1$, unwilling to$9$ give $SS#B$Edward the pain$0$ of receiving 
303:283,28['  ]| an obligation from \her\, she would have been very glad 
303:283,29['  ]| to$9$ be spared herself; ~~ but $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, on$4$ motives 
303:283,30['  ]| of equal$2$ delicacy, declining it likewise, still$5$ seemed so$5#1$ 
303:283,31['  ]| desirous of its being$1$ given through$4$ her means$0$, that$3$ she 
303:283,32['  ]| would not on$4$ any account$0$ make$1$ farther opposition. 
303:283,33['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, she believed, was still$5$ in$4$ town, and fortunately 
303:283,34['  ]| she had heard his address$0$ from $SS#P$Miss*Steele.  She could 
303:283,35['  ]| undertake therefore to$9$ inform him of it, in$4$ the course$0$ of 
303:283,36['  ]| the day.  After$3$ this had been settled, $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
303:283,37['  ]| began to$9$ talk$1$ of his own$2$ advantage in$4$ securing so$5#1$ 
303:283,38['  ]| respectable and agreeable a neighbour, and \then\ it was 
303:284,01['  ]| that$3$ he mentioned with regret$0$, that$3$ the house was small 
303:284,02['  ]| and indifferent; ~~ an evil which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor, as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
303:284,03['  ]| had supposed her to$9$ do, made very light$2$ of, at least as 
303:284,04['  ]| far as regarded its size. 
303:284,05[A  ]| "The smallness of the house," 
303:284,05['  ]| said she, 
303:284,05[A  ]| "I cannot 
303:284,06[A  ]| imagine any inconvenience to$4$ them, for$3$ it will$1$ be in$4$ 
303:284,07[A  ]| proportion to$4$ their family and income." 
303:284,08['  ]| By$4$ which$6#1$ the $SS#H$Colonel was surprised to$9$ find that$3$ \she\ 
303:284,09['  ]| was considering $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars's marriage as the certain 
303:284,10['  ]| consequence of the presentation; for$3$ he did not suppose 
303:284,11['  ]| it possible that$3$ Delaford living could supply$1$ such an 
303:284,12['  ]| income, as any*body in$4$ his style of life would venture to$9$ 
303:284,13['  ]| settle on$4$ ~~ and he said so$5#2$. 
303:284,14[H  ]| "This little rectory \can\ do no$2$ more than make$1$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars 
303:284,15[H  ]| comfortable as a bachelor; it cannot enable him 
303:284,16[H  ]| to$9$ marry.  I am sorry to$9$ say that$3$ my patronage ends$1$ 
303:284,17[H  ]| with this; and my interest$0$ is hardly more extensive. 
303:284,18[H  ]| If, however, by$4$ any unforeseen chance$0$ it should be in$4$ 
303:284,19[H  ]| my power to$9$ serve him farther, I must think very 
303:284,20[H  ]| differently of him from what I now do, if I am not as 
303:284,21[H  ]| ready to$9$ be useful to$4$ him then, as I sincerely wish$1$ I 
303:284,22[H  ]| could be at present$0#1$.  What I am now doing indeed, 
303:284,23[H  ]| seems nothing at all, since it can advance$1$ him so$5#1$ little 
303:284,24[H  ]| towards what must be his principal$0$, his only object$0$ of 
303:284,25[H  ]| happiness.  His marriage must still$5$ be a distant good; ~~ 
303:284,26[H  ]| at least, I am afraid it cannot take place$0$ very soon. ~~" 
303:284,27['  ]| Such was the sentence which$6#1$, when misunderstood, 
303:284,28['  ]| so$5#1$ justly offended the delicate feelings of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings; 
303:284,29['  ]| but after$4$ this narration of what really passed between 
303:284,30['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon and $SS#A$Elinor, while$3$ they stood at the 
303:284,31['  ]| window, the gratitude expressed by$4$ the latter on$4$ their 
303:284,32['  ]| parting, may$1$ perhaps appear in$4$ general$0$, not less 
303:284,33['  ]| reasonably excited, nor less properly worded than if it 
303:284,34['  ]| had arisen from an offer$0$ of marriage. 
304:285,01[K  ]| "Well$7$, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood," 
304:285,01['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, sagaciously 
304:285,02['  ]| smiling, as soon as the gentleman had withdrawn, 
304:285,03[K  ]| "I do not ask you what the $SS#H$Colonel has been saying 
304:285,04[K  ]| to$4$ you; for$3$ though, upon$4$ my honour$0$, I \tried\ to$9$ keep out$5$ 
304:285,05[K  ]| of hearing, I could not help$1$ catching enough to$9$ understand 
304:285,06[K  ]| his business.  And I assure you I never was better 
304:285,07[K  ]| pleased in$4$ my life, and I wish$1$ you joy of it with all my 
304:285,08[K  ]| heart." 
304:285,09[A  ]| "Thank you, ma'am," 
304:285,09['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor. 
304:285,09[A  ]| "It \is\ a matter 
304:285,10[A  ]| of great joy to$4$ me; and I feel the goodness of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
304:285,11[A  ]| most sensibly.  There are not many men who$6#1$ 
304:285,12[A  ]| would act$1$ as he has done.  Few people who$6#1$ have so$5#1$ compassionate 
304:285,13[A  ]| an heart!  I never was more astonished in$4$ my 
304:285,14[A  ]| life." 
304:285,15[K  ]| "Lord$7$! my dear$2#1$, you are very modest!  I an't the 
304:285,16[K  ]| least astonished at it in$4$ the world, for$3$ I have often 
304:285,17[K  ]| thought$1$ of late, there was nothing more likely to$9$ 
304:285,18[K  ]| happen." 
304:285,19[A  ]| "You judged from your knowledge of the $SS#H$Colonel's 
304:285,20[A  ]| general$2$ benevolence; but at least you could not foresee 
304:285,21[A  ]| that$3$ the opportunity would so$5#1$ very soon occur." 
304:285,22[K  ]| "Opportunity!" 
304:285,22['  ]| repeated $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings ~~ 
304:285,22[K  ]| "Oh! as 
304:285,23[K  ]| to$4$ that$6#2$, when a man has once made up$5$ his mind$0$ to$4$ 
304:285,24[K  ]| such a thing, somehow or other he will$1$ soon find an 
304:285,25[K  ]| opportunity.  Well$7$, my dear$2#1$, I wish$1$ you joy of it again 
304:285,26[K  ]| and again; and if ever there was a happy couple in$4$ the 
304:285,27[K  ]| world, I think I shall soon know where to$9$ look$1$ for$4$ 
304:285,28[K  ]| them." 
304:285,29[A  ]| "You mean$1$ to$9$ go to$4$ Delaford after$4$ them I suppose," 
304:285,30['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, with a faint$2$ smile$0$. 
304:285,31[K  ]| "Aye, my dear$2#1$, that$6#2$ I do, indeed.  And as to$4$ the 
304:285,32[K  ]| house being$1$ a bad one, I do not know what the $SS#H$Colonel 
304:285,33[K  ]| would be at, for$3$ it is a good a one as ever I saw." 
304:286,01[A  ]| "He spoke of its being$1$ out$5$ of repair." 
304:286,02[K  ]| "Well$7$, and whose$6#2$ fault is that$6#2$?  why don't he 
304:286,03[K  ]| repair it? ~~ who$6#2$ should do it but himself?" 
304:286,04['  ]| They were interrupted by$4$ the servant's coming in$5$ 
304:286,05['  ]| to$9$ announce the carriage being$1$ at the door; and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
304:286,06['  ]| immediately preparing to$9$ go, said ~~ 
304:286,07[K  ]| "Well$7$, my dear$2#1$, I must be gone before$3$ I have had 
304:286,08[K  ]| half my talk$0$ out$5$.  But, however, we may$1$ have it all 
304:286,09[K  ]| over in$4$ the evening, for$3$ we shall be quite alone.  I do 
304:286,10[K  ]| not ask you to$9$ go with me, for$3$ I dare$1#2$ say your mind$0$ is 
304:286,11[K  ]| too$5#1$ full of the matter to$9$ care$1$ for$4$ company; and besides, 
304:286,12[K  ]| you must long to$9$ tell your sister all about$4$ it." 
304:286,13['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne had left the room before$3$ the conversation 
304:286,14['  ]| began. 
304:286,15[A  ]| "Certainly, ma'am, I shall tell $SS#C$Marianne of it; but 
304:286,16[A  ]| I shall not mention$1$ it at present$0#1$ to$4$ any*body else." 
304:286,17[K  ]| "Oh! very well$5$," 
304:286,17['  ]| said $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings rather disappointed. 
304:286,18[K  ]| "Then you would not have me tell it $SS#Q$Lucy, 
304:286,19[K  ]| for$3$ I think of going as far as Holborn to-day." 
304:286,20[A  ]| "No$7$, ma'am, not even$5$ $SS#Q$Lucy if you please.  One day's 
304:286,21[A  ]| delay$0$ will$1$ not be very material$2$; and till I have written 
304:286,22[A  ]| to$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars, I think it ought not to$9$ be mentioned to$4$ 
304:286,23[A  ]| any*body else.  I shall do \that$6#2$\ directly.  It is of importance 
304:286,24[A  ]| that$6#2$ no$2$ time should be lost with him, for$3$ he will$1$ 
304:286,25[A  ]| of course$8$ have much to$9$ do relative to$4$ his ordination." 
304:286,26['  ]| This speech at first puzzled $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings exceedingly. 
304:286,27['  ]| Why $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars was to$9$ be written to$4$ about$4$ it in$4$ such 
304:286,28['  ]| a hurry$0$, she could not immediately comprehend.  A few 
304:286,29['  ]| moments' reflection, however, produced a very happy 
304:286,30['  ]| idea, and she exclaimed; ~~ 
304:286,31[K  ]| "Oh ho! ~~ I understand you.  $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars is to$9$ be 
304:286,32[K  ]| the man.  Well$7$, so$5#1$ much the better for$4$ him.  Aye, to$9$ be 
304:286,33[K  ]| sure, he must be ordained in$4$ readiness; and I am very 
304:286,34[K  ]| glad to$9$ find things are so$5#1$ forward$5$ between you.  But, my 
304:286,35[K  ]| dear$2#1$, is not this rather out$5$ of character?  Should not 
304:286,36[K  ]| the $SS#H$Colonel write himself? ~~ sure, he is the proper 
304:286,37[K  ]| person." 
304:286,38['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor did not quite understand the beginning of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
304:287,01['  ]| speech; neither did she think it worth 
304:287,02['  ]| inquiring into; and therefore only replied to$4$ its conclusion. 
304:287,03['  ]| 
304:287,04[A  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon is so$5#1$ delicate a man, that$3$ he rather 
304:287,05[A  ]| wished any*one to$9$ announce his intentions to$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars 
304:287,06[A  ]| than himself." 
304:287,07[K  ]| "And so$3$ \you\ are forced to$9$ do it.  Well$7$, \that$6#2$\ is an odd 
304:287,08[K  ]| kind$0$ of delicacy!  However, I will$1$ not disturb you 
304:287,08['  ]| (seeing 
304:287,09['  ]| her preparing to$9$ write.) 
304:287,09[K  ]| You know your own$2$ concerns$0$ 
304:287,10[K  ]| best.  So$3$ good*bye, my dear$2#1$.  I have not heard of any*thing 
304:287,11[K  ]| to$9$ please me so$5#1$ well$5$ since $SS#O$Charlotte was brought 
304:287,12[K  ]| to$4$ bed." 
304:287,13['  ]| And away she went; but returning again in$4$ a moment, 
304:287,14[K  ]| "I have just$5$ been thinking of $SS#ZA$Betty's sister, my dear$2#1$. 
304:287,15[K  ]| I should be very glad to$9$ get her so$5#1$ good a mistress.  But 
304:287,16[K  ]| whether she would do for$4$ a lady's maid, I am sure I can't 
304:287,17[K  ]| tell.  She is an excellent housemaid, and works$1$ very 
304:287,18[K  ]| well$5$ at her needle.  However, you will$1$ think of all that$6#2$ at 
304:287,19[K  ]| your leisure." 
304:287,20[A  ]| "Certainly, ma'am," 
304:287,20['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, not hearing 
304:287,21['  ]| much of what she said, and more anxious to$9$ be alone, 
304:287,22['  ]| than to$9$ be mistress of the subject$0$. 
304:287,23@a   | How she should begin ~~ how she should express$1$ herself 
304:287,24@a   | in$4$ her note$0$ to$4$ $SS#B$Edward, was now all her concern$0$.  The 
304:287,25@a   | particular circumstances between them made a difficulty 
304:287,26@a   | of that$6#2$ which$6#1$ to$4$ any other person would have been the 
304:287,27@a   | easiest thing in$4$ the world; 
304:287,27['  ]| but she equally feared to$9$ say 
304:287,28['  ]| too$5#1$ much or too$5#1$ little, and sat deliberating over her 
304:287,29['  ]| paper, with the pen in$4$ her hand$0$, till broken in$5$ on$5$ by$4$ the 
304:287,30['  ]| entrance of $SS#B$Edward himself. 
304:287,31['  ]| He had met $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings at the door in$4$ her way to$4$ 
304:287,32['  ]| the carriage, as he came to$9$ leave$1$ his farewell card; and 
304:287,33['  ]| she, after$4$ apologising for$4$ not returning herself, had 
304:287,34['  ]| obliged him to$9$ enter, by$4$ saying that$3$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood was 
304:287,35['  ]| above$5$, and wanted to$9$ speak with him on$4$ very particular 
304:287,36['  ]| business. 
304:287,37['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had just$5$ been congratulating herself, in$4$ the 
304:287,38['  ]| midst of her perplexity, that$3$ 
304:287,38@a   | however difficult it might 
304:288,01@a   | be to$9$ express$1$ herself properly by$4$ letter, it was at least 
304:288,02@a   | preferable to$4$ giving the information by$4$ word of mouth, 
304:288,03['  ]| when her visitor entered, to$9$ force$1$ her upon$4$ this greatest 
304:288,04['  ]| exertion of all.  Her astonishment and confusion were 
304:288,05['  ]| very great on$4$ his so$5#1$ sudden$2$ appearance.  She had not 
304:288,06['  ]| seen him before$5$ since his engagement became public$2$, 
304:288,07['  ]| and therefore not since his knowing her to$9$ be acquainted 
304:288,08['  ]| with it; which$6#1$, with the consciousness of what she had 
304:288,09['  ]| been thinking of, and what she had to$9$ tell him, made her 
304:288,10['  ]| feel particularly uncomfortable for$4$ some minutes.  He 
304:288,11['  ]| too$5#2$ was much distressed, and they sat down$5$ together 
304:288,12['  ]| in$4$ a most promising state$0$ of embarrassment. ~~ Whether 
304:288,13['  ]| he had asked her pardon$0$ for$4$ his intrusion on$4$ first coming 
304:288,14['  ]| into the room, he could not recollect; but determining 
304:288,15['  ]| to$9$ be on$4$ the safe side$0$, he made his apology in$4$ form$0$ as 
304:288,16['  ]| soon as he could say any*thing, after$4$ taking a chair. 
304:288,17[B  ]| "$SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings told me," 
304:288,17['  ]| said he, 
304:288,17[B  ]| "that$3$ you wished 
304:288,18[B  ]| to$9$ speak to$4$ me, at least I understood her so$5#2$ ~~ or I 
304:288,19[B  ]| certainly should not have intruded on$4$ you in$4$ such 
304:288,20[B  ]| a manner; though at the same time, I should have been 
304:288,21[B  ]| extremely sorry to$9$ leave$1$ London without seeing you and 
304:288,22[B  ]| your sister; especially as it will$1$ most likely be some 
304:288,23[B  ]| time ~~ it is not probable that$3$ I should soon have the 
304:288,24[B  ]| pleasure of meeting you again.  I go to$4$ Oxford to-morrow."
304:288,25[B  ]|  
304:288,26[A  ]| "You would not have gone, however," 
304:288,26['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
304:288,27['  ]| recovering herself, and determined to$9$ get over what she 
304:288,28['  ]| so$5#1$ much dreaded as soon as possible, 
304:288,28[A  ]| "without receiving 
304:288,29[A  ]| our good wishes$0$, even$5$ if we had not been able to$9$ give 
304:288,30[A  ]| them in$4$ person.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings was quite right$2#1$ in$4$ what 
304:288,31[A  ]| she said.  I have something of consequence to$9$ inform you 
304:288,32[A  ]| of, which$6#1$ I was on$4$ the point$0$ of communicating by$4$ paper. 
304:288,33[A  ]| I am charged with a most agreeable office, 
304:288,33['  ]| (breathing 
304:288,34['  ]| rather faster than usual as she spoke.) 
304:288,34[A  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
304:288,35[A  ]| who$6#1$ was here only ten minutes ago, has desired me to$9$ 
304:288,36[A  ]| say that$3$, understanding you mean$1$ to$9$ take orders$0#2$, he 
304:288,37[A  ]| has great pleasure in$4$ offering you the living of Delaford, 
304:288,38[A  ]| now just$5$ vacant, and only wishes$1$ it were more valuable. 
304:289,01[A  ]| Allow me to$9$ congratulate you on$4$ having so$5#1$ respectable 
304:289,02[A  ]| and well-judging a friend, and to$9$ join in$4$ his wish$0$ that$3$ 
304:289,03[A  ]| the living ~~ it is about$4$ two hundred a-year ~~ were much 
304:289,04[A  ]| more considerable, and such as might better enable you 
304:289,05[A  ]| to$9$ ~~ as might be more than a temporary accommodation 
304:289,06[A  ]| to$4$ yourself ~~ such, in$4$ short, as might establish all your 
304:289,07[A  ]| views of happiness." 
304:289,08['  ]| What $SS#B$Edward felt, as he could not say it himself, it 
304:289,09['  ]| cannot be expected that$3$ any*one else should say for$4$ him. 
304:289,10['  ]| He \looked\ all the astonishment which$6#1$ such unexpected,
304:289,11['  ]| such unthought-of information could not fail of exciting; 
304:289,12['  ]| but he said only these two words, 
304:289,13[B  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon!" 
304:289,14[A  ]| "Yes," 
304:289,14['  ]| continued $SS#A$Elinor, gathering more resolution, 
304:289,15['  ]| as some of the worst was over; 
304:289,15[A  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
304:289,16[A  ]| means$1$ it as a testimony of his concern$0$ for$4$ what has lately 
304:289,17[A  ]| passed ~~ for$4$ the cruel situation in$4$ which$6#1$ the unjustifiable 
304:289,18[A  ]| conduct$0$ of your family has placed you ~~ a concern$0$ which$6#1$ 
304:289,19[A  ]| I am sure $SS#C$Marianne, myself, and all your friends must 
304:289,20[A  ]| share$1$; and likewise as a proof of his high esteem$0$ for$4$ 
304:289,21[A  ]| your general$2$ character, and his particular approbation 
304:289,22[A  ]| of your behaviour on$4$ the present$2$ occasion$0$." 
304:289,23[B  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon give \me\ a living! ~~ Can it be 
304:289,24[B  ]| possible?" 
304:289,25[A  ]| "The unkindness of your own$2$ relations has made you 
304:289,26[A  ]| astonished to$9$ find friendship any*where." 
304:289,27[B  ]| "No$7$," 
304:289,27['  ]| replied he, with sudden$2$ consciousness, 
304:289,27[B  ]| "not 
304:289,28[B  ]| to$9$ find it in$4$ \you\; for$3$ I cannot be ignorant that$3$ to$4$ you, 
304:289,29[B  ]| to$4$ your goodness I owe it all ~~ I feel it ~~ I would express$1$ 
304:289,30[B  ]| it if I could ~~ but, as you well$5$ know, I am no$2$ orator." 
304:289,31[A  ]| "You are very much mistaken.  I do assure you that$3$ 
304:289,32[A  ]| you owe it entirely, at least almost entirely, to$4$ your own$2$ 
304:289,33[A  ]| merit$0$, and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's discernment of it.  I have 
304:289,34[A  ]| had no$2$ hand$0$ in$4$ it.  I did not even$5$ know, till I understood 
304:289,35[A  ]| his design$0$, that$3$ the living was vacant; nor had 
304:289,36[A  ]| it ever occurred to$4$ me that$3$ he might have had such a 
304:289,37[A  ]| living in$4$ his gift.  As a friend of mine$6$, of my family, he 
304:289,38[A  ]| may$1$ perhaps ~~ indeed I know he \has\, still$5$ greater pleasure 
304:290,01[A  ]| in$4$ bestowing it; but, upon$4$ my word, you owe nothing 
304:290,02[A  ]| to$4$ my solicitation." 
304:290,03['  ]| Truth obliged her to$9$ acknowledge some small share$0$ 
304:290,04['  ]| in$4$ the action, but she was at the same time so$5#1$ unwilling 
304:290,05['  ]| to$9$ appear as the benefactress of $SS#B$Edward, that$3$ she 
304:290,06['  ]| acknowledged it with hesitation; which$6#1$ probably contributed 
304:290,07['  ]| to$9$ fix that$6#2$ suspicion in$4$ his mind$0$ which$6#1$ had 
304:290,08['  ]| recently entered it.  For$4$ a short time he sat deep in$4$ 
304:290,09['  ]| thought$0$, after$3$ $SS#A$Elinor had ceased to$9$ speak; ~~ at last$0$, and 
304:290,10['  ]| as if it were rather an effort, he said, 
304:290,11[B  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon seems a man of great worth and 
304:290,12[B  ]| respectability.  I have always heard him spoken of as 
304:290,13[B  ]| such, and your brother I know esteems him highly. 
304:290,14[B  ]| He is undoubtedly a sensible$2#2$ man, and in$4$ his manners 
304:290,15[B  ]| perfectly the gentleman." 
304:290,16[A  ]| "Indeed," 
304:290,16['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
304:290,16[A  ]| "I believe that$3$ you will$1$ 
304:290,17[A  ]| find him, on$4$ farther acquaintance, all that$6#1$ you have heard 
304:290,18[A  ]| him to$9$ be; and as you will$1$ be such very near$2$ neighbours, 
304:290,19[A  ]| (for$3$ I understand the parsonage is almost close$5$ to$4$ the 
304:290,20[A  ]| mansion-house,) it is particularly important that$3$ he 
304:290,21[A  ]| \should\ be all this." 
304:290,22['  ]| $SS#B$Edward made no$2$ answer$0$; but when she had turned 
304:290,23['  ]| away her head$0$, gave her a look$0$ so$5#1$ serious$2$, so$5#1$ earnest, so$5#1$ 
304:290,24['  ]| uncheerful, as seemed to$9$ say, that$3$ he might hereafter 
304:290,25['  ]| wish$1$ the distance$0$ between the parsonage and the mansion-house 
304:290,26['  ]| much greater. 
304:290,27[B  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, I think, lodges in$4$ St%*James's-street," 
304:290,28['  ]| said he, soon afterwards, rising from his chair. 
304:290,29['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor told him the number of the house. 
304:290,30[B  ]| "I must hurry$1$ away then, to$9$ give him those thanks 
304:290,31[B  ]| which$6#1$ you will$1$ not allow me to$9$ give \you\; to$9$ assure him 
304:290,32[B  ]| that$3$ he has made me a very ~~ an exceedingly happy man." 
304:290,33['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor did not offer$1$ to$9$ detain him; and they parted, 
304:290,34['  ]| with a very earnest assurance on$4$ \her\ side$0$ of her unceasing 
304:290,35['  ]| good wishes$0$ for$4$ his happiness in$4$ every change$0$ of situation 
304:290,36['  ]| that$6#1$ might befal him; on$4$ \his\, with rather an attempt$0$ 
304:290,37['  ]| to$9$ return$1$ the same good*will, than the power of expressing 
304:290,38['  ]| it. 
304:291,01[A  ]| "When I see him again," 
304:291,01['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor to$4$ herself, as the 
304:291,02['  ]| door shut him out$5$, 
304:291,02[A  ]| "I shall see him the husband of $SS#Q$Lucy." 
304:291,03['  ]| And with this pleasing anticipation, she sat down$5$ to$9$ 
304:291,04['  ]| re-consider the past$0$, recal$0$ the words and endeavour$1$ to$9$ 
304:291,05['  ]| comprehend all the feelings of $SS#B$Edward; and, of course$8$, 
304:291,06['  ]| to$9$ reflect on$4$ her own$2$ with discontent. 
304:291,07['  ]| When $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings came home, though she returned 
304:291,08['  ]| from seeing people whom$6#1$ she had never seen before$5$, and 
304:291,09['  ]| of whom$6#1$ therefore she must have a great deal$0$ to$9$ say, 
304:291,10['  ]| her mind$0$ was so$5#1$ much more occupied by$4$ the important 
304:291,11['  ]| secret$0$ in$4$ her possession, than by$4$ anything else, that$3$ she 
304:291,12['  ]| reverted to$4$ it again as soon as $SS#A$Elinor appeared. 
304:291,13[K  ]| "Well$7$, my dear$2#1$," 
304:291,13['  ]| she cried, 
304:291,13[K  ]| "I sent you up$5$ the young 
304:291,14[K  ]| man.  Did not I do right$2#1$? ~~ And I suppose you had no$2$ 
304:291,15[K  ]| great difficulty ~~ You did not find him very unwilling to$9$ 
304:291,16[K  ]| accept your proposal?" 
304:291,17[A  ]| "No$7$, ma'am; \that$6#2$\ was not very likely." 
304:291,18[K  ]| "Well$7$, and how soon will$1$ he be ready? ~~ For$3$ it seems 
304:291,19[K  ]| all to$9$ depend upon$4$ that$6#2$." 
304:291,20[A  ]| "Really," 
304:291,20['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
304:291,20[A  ]| "I know so$5#1$ little of these kind$0$ 
304:291,21[A  ]| of forms, that$3$ I can hardly even$5$ conjecture$1$ as to$4$ the 
304:291,22[A  ]| time, or the preparation necessary; but I suppose two 
304:291,23[A  ]| or three months will$1$ complete$1$ his ordination." 
304:291,24[K  ]| "Two or three months!" 
304:291,24['  ]| cried $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings; 
304:291,25[K  ]| "Lord$7$! my dear$2#1$, how calmly you talk$1$ of it; and can 
304:291,26[K  ]| the $SS#H$Colonel wait two or three months!  Lord$7$ bless me! ~~ 
304:291,27[K  ]| I am sure it would put \me\ quite out$5$ of patience! ~~ And 
304:291,28[K  ]| though one would be very glad to$9$ do a kindness by$4$ poor 
304:291,29[K  ]| $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars, I do think it is not worth*while to$9$ wait two 
304:291,30[K  ]| or three months for$4$ him.  Sure, somebody else might 
304:291,31[K  ]| be found that$6#1$ would do as well$5$; somebody that$6#1$ is in$4$ 
304:291,32[K  ]| orders$0#2$ already." 
304:291,33[A  ]| "My dear$2#1$ ma'am," 
304:291,33['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
304:291,33[A  ]| "what can you be 
304:291,34[A  ]| thinking of? ~~ Why, $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's only object$0$ is to$9$ 
304:291,35[A  ]| be of use$0$ to$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars." 
304:291,36[K  ]| "Lord$7$ bless you, my dear$2#1$! ~~ Sure you do not mean$1$ 
304:291,37[K  ]| to$9$ persuade me that$3$ the $SS#H$Colonel only marries you for$4$ 
304:291,38[K  ]| the sake of giving ten guineas to$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars!" 
304:292,01['  ]| The deception could not continue after$4$ this; and 
304:292,02['  ]| an explanation immediately took place$0$, by$4$ which$6#1$ both 
304:292,03['  ]| gained considerable amusement for$4$ the moment, without 
304:292,04['  ]| any material$2$ loss of happiness to$4$ either, for$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
304:292,05['  ]| only exchanged one form$0$ of delight$0$ for$4$ another, and still$5$ 
304:292,06['  ]| without forfeiting her expectation of the first. 
304:292,07[K  ]| "Aye, aye, the parsonage is but a small one," 
304:292,07['  ]| said 
304:292,08['  ]| she, after$3$ the first ebullition of surprise$0$ and satisfaction 
304:292,09['  ]| was over, 
304:292,09[K  ]| "and very likely \may$1$\ be out$5$ of repair; but 
304:292,10[K  ]| to$9$ hear a man apologising, as I thought$1$, for$4$ a house that$6#1$ 
304:292,11[K  ]| to$4$ my knowledge has five sitting*rooms on$4$ the ground-floor, 
304:292,12[K  ]| and I think the housekeeper told me, could make$1$ 
304:292,13[K  ]| up$5$ fifteen beds! ~~ and to$4$ you too$5#2$, that$6#1$ had been used to$9$ 
304:292,14[K  ]| live in$4$ Barton*cottage! ~~ It seemed quite ridiculous. 
304:292,15[K  ]| But, my dear$2#1$, we must touch$1$ up$5$ the $SS#H$Colonel to$9$ do something 
304:292,16[K  ]| to$4$ the parsonage, and make$1$ it comfortable for$4$ 
304:292,17[K  ]| them, before$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy goes to$4$ it." 
304:292,18[A  ]| "But $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon does not seem to$9$ have any 
304:292,19[A  ]| idea of the living's being$1$ enough to$9$ allow them to$9$ marry." 
304:292,20[K  ]| "The $SS#H$Colonel is a ninny, my dear$2#1$; because he has two 
304:292,21[K  ]| thousand a-year himself, he thinks that$3$ nobody else can 
304:292,22[K  ]| marry on$4$ less.  Take my word for$4$ it, that$3$, if I am alive, 
304:292,23[K  ]| I shall be paying a visit$0$ at Delaford*Parsonage before$4$ 
304:292,24[K  ]| Michaelmas; and I am sure I sha'nt go if $SS#Q$Lucy an't 
304:292,25[K  ]| there." 
304:292,26['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was quite of her opinion, as to$4$ the probability 
304:292,27['  ]| of their not waiting for$4$ any*thing more. 
305:293,01['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, having carried his thanks to$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
305:293,02['  ]| proceeded with his happiness to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy; and such was the 
305:293,03['  ]| excess of it by$4$ the time he reached Bartlett's*Buildings, 
305:293,04['  ]| that$3$ she was able to$9$ assure $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, who$6#1$ called on$4$ 
305:293,05['  ]| her again the next day with her congratulations, that$3$ 
305:293,06@q   | she had never seen him in$4$ such spirits before$5$ in$4$ her 
305:293,07@q   | life. 
305:293,08['  ]| Her own$2$ happiness, and her own$2$ spirits, were at least 
305:293,09['  ]| very certain; and she joined $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings most 
305:293,10['  ]| heartily in$4$ her expectation of their being$1$ all comfortably 
305:293,11['  ]| together in$4$ Delaford*Parsonage before$4$ Michaelmas.  So$5#1$ 
305:293,12['  ]| far was she, at the same time, from any backwardness 
305:293,13['  ]| to$9$ give $SS#A$Elinor that$6#2$ credit$0$ which$6#1$ $SS#B$Edward \would\ give 
305:293,14['  ]| her, that$3$ she spoke of her friendship for$4$ them both 
305:293,15['  ]| with the most grateful warmth, was ready to$9$ own$1$ all 
305:293,16['  ]| their obligation to$4$ her, and openly declared that$3$ 
305:293,16@q   | no$2$ 
305:293,17@q   | exertion for$4$ their good on$4$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood's part$0$, either 
305:293,18@q   | present$2$ or future, would ever surprise$1$ her, for$3$ she believed 
305:293,19@q   | her capable of doing anything in$4$ the world for$4$ those she 
305:293,20@q   | really valued. 
305:293,20['  ]| As for$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, she was not only 
305:293,21['  ]| ready to$9$ worship him as a saint, but was moreover truly 
305:293,22['  ]| anxious that$3$ he should be treated as one in$4$ all worldly 
305:293,23['  ]| concerns$0$; anxious that$3$ his tythes should be raised to$4$ the 
305:293,24['  ]| utmost; and secretly resolved to$9$ avail herself, at Delaford, 
305:293,25['  ]| as far as she possibly could, of his servants, his 
305:293,26['  ]| carriage, his cows, and his poultry. 
305:293,27['  ]| It was now above$4$ a week since $SS#F$John*Dashwood had 
305:293,28['  ]| called in$4$ Berkeley-street, and as since that$6#2$ time no$2$ notice$0$ 
305:293,29['  ]| had been taken by$4$ them of his wife's indisposition, beyond$4$ 
305:293,30['  ]| one verbal inquiry, $SS#A$Elinor began to$9$ feel it necessary to$9$ 
305:293,31['  ]| pay$1$ her a visit$0$. ~~ This was an obligation, however, which$6#1$ 
305:293,32['  ]| not only opposed her own$2$ inclination, but which$6#1$ had not 
305:293,33['  ]| the assistance of any encouragement from her companions. 
305:294,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, not contented with absolutely 
305:294,02['  ]| refusing to$9$ go herself, was very urgent to$9$ prevent her 
305:294,03['  ]| sister's going at all; and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, though her 
305:294,04['  ]| carriage was always at $SS#A$Elinor's service, so$5#1$ very much 
305:294,05['  ]| disliked $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood, that$3$ not even$5$ her curiosity 
305:294,06['  ]| to$9$ see how she looked after$4$ the late discovery, nor her 
305:294,07['  ]| strong desire$0$ to$9$ affront her by$4$ taking $SS#B$Edward's part$0$, 
305:294,08['  ]| could overcome her unwillingness to$9$ be in$4$ her company 
305:294,09['  ]| again.  The consequence was, that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor set$1$ out$5$ by$4$ 
305:294,10['  ]| herself to$9$ pay$1$ a visit$0$, for$4$ which$6#1$ no*one could really have 
305:294,11['  ]| less inclination, and to$9$ run$1$ the risk$0$ of a te^te-a`-te^te with 
305:294,12['  ]| a woman, whom$6#1$ neither of the others had so$5#1$ much reason$0$ 
305:294,13['  ]| to$9$ dislike$1$. 
305:294,14['  ]| $SS#G$Mrs%*Dashwood was denied; but before$3$ the carriage 
305:294,15['  ]| could turn$1$ from the house, her husband accidentally 
305:294,16['  ]| came out$5$.  He expressed great pleasure in$4$ meeting 
305:294,17['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, told her that$3$ he had been just$5$ going to$9$ call$1$ in$4$ 
305:294,18['  ]| Berkeley-street, and assuring her that$3$ $SS#G$Fanny would 
305:294,19['  ]| be very glad to$9$ see her, invited her to$9$ come in$5$. 
305:294,20['  ]| They walked up*stairs into the drawing-room. ~~ Nobody 
305:294,21['  ]| was there. 
305:294,22[F  ]| "$SS#G$Fanny is in$4$ her own$2$ room, I suppose," 
305:294,22['  ]| said he; ~~ 
305:294,23[F  ]| "I will$1$ go to$4$ her presently, for$3$ I am sure she will$1$ not have 
305:294,24[F  ]| the least objection in$4$ the world to$4$ seeing \you\. ~~ Very 
305:294,25[F  ]| far from it indeed.  \Now\ especially there cannot be ~~ 
305:294,26[F  ]| but however, you and $SS#C$Marianne were always great 
305:294,27[F  ]| favourites. ~~ Why would not $SS#C$Marianne come?" ~~ 
305:294,28['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor made what excuse$0$ she could for$4$ her. 
305:294,29[F  ]| "I am not sorry to$9$ see you alone," 
305:294,29['  ]| he replied, 
305:294,30[F  ]| "for$3$ I have a good deal$0$ to$9$ say to$4$ you.  This living 
305:294,31[F  ]| of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's ~~ can it be true? ~~ has he really 
305:294,32[F  ]| given it to$4$ $SS#B$Edward? ~~ I heard it yesterday by$4$ chance$0$, 
305:294,33[F  ]| and was coming to$4$ you on$4$ purpose to$9$ inquire farther 
305:294,34[F  ]| about$4$ it." 
305:294,35[A  ]| "It is perfectly true. ~~ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon has given 
305:294,36[A  ]| the living of Delaford to$4$ $SS#B$Edward." 
305:294,37[F  ]| "Really! ~~ Well$7$, this is very astonishing! ~~ no$2$ relationship! ~~ 
305:294,38[F  ]| no$2$ connection between then! ~~ and now that$3$ 
305:295,01[F  ]| livings fetch such a price! ~~ what was the value$0$ of 
305:295,02[F  ]| this?" 
305:295,03[A  ]| "About$4$ two hundred a-year." 
305:295,04[F  ]| "Very well$5$ ~~ and for$4$ the next presentation to$4$ a living 
305:295,05[F  ]| of that$6#2$ value$0$ ~~ supposing the late incumbent to$9$ have been 
305:295,06[F  ]| old and sickly, and likely to$9$ vacate it soon ~~ he might 
305:295,07[F  ]| have got I dare$1#2$ say ~~ fourteen hundred pounds.  And 
305:295,08[F  ]| how came he not to$9$ have settled that$6#2$ matter before$4$ this 
305:295,09[F  ]| person's death? ~~ \Now\ indeed it would be too$5#1$ late to$9$ 
305:295,10[F  ]| sell it, but a man of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's sense! ~~ I wonder$1$ 
305:295,11[F  ]| he should be so$5#1$ improvident in$4$ a point$0$ of such common$2$, 
305:295,12[F  ]| such natural$2$, concern$0$! ~~ Well$7$, I am convinced that$3$ 
305:295,13[F  ]| there is a vast deal$0$ of inconsistency in$4$ almost every 
305:295,14[F  ]| human character.  I suppose, however ~~ on$4$ recollection 
305:295,15[F  ]| ~~ that$3$ the case may$1$ probably be \this\.  $SS#B$Edward is only 
305:295,16[F  ]| to$9$ hold$1$ the living till the person to$4$ whom$6#1$ the $SS#H$Colonel 
305:295,17[F  ]| has really sold the presentation, is old enough to$9$ take 
305:295,18[F  ]| it. ~~ Aye, aye, that$6#2$ is the fact, depend upon$4$ it." 
305:295,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor contradicted it, however, very positively; and 
305:295,20['  ]| by$4$ relating that$3$ she had herself been employed in$4$ conveying 
305:295,21['  ]| the offer$0$ from $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon to$4$ $SS#B$Edward, and 
305:295,22['  ]| therefore must understand the terms on$4$ which$6#1$ it was 
305:295,23['  ]| given, obliged him to$9$ submit to$4$ her authority. 
305:295,24[F  ]| "It is truly astonishing!" ~~ 
305:295,24['  ]| he cried, after$4$ hearing 
305:295,25['  ]| what she said ~~ 
305:295,25[F  ]| "what could be the $SS#H$Colonel's motive?" 
305:295,26[A  ]| "A very simple$2$ one ~~ to$9$ be of use$0$ to$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars." 
305:295,27[F  ]| "Well$7$, well$7$; whatever $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon may$1$ be, 
305:295,28[F  ]| $SS#B$Edward is a very lucky man! ~~ You will$1$ not mention$1$ the 
305:295,29[F  ]| matter to$4$ $SS#G$Fanny, however, for$3$ though I have broke it 
305:295,30[F  ]| to$4$ her, and she bears it vastly well$5$, ~~ she will$1$ not like$1$ to$9$ 
305:295,31[F  ]| hear it much talked of." 
305:295,32['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had some difficulty here to$9$ refrain from observing, 
305:295,33['  ]| that$3$ she thought$1$ $SS#G$Fanny might have borne 
305:295,34['  ]| with composure, an acquisition of wealth to$4$ her brother, 
305:295,35['  ]| by$4$ which$6#1$ neither she nor her child could be possibly 
305:295,36['  ]| impoverished. 
305:295,37[F  ]| "$SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars," 
305:295,37['  ]| added he, lowering his voice to$4$ the 
305:295,38['  ]| tone becoming so$5#1$ important a subject$0$, 
305:295,38[F  ]| "knows nothing 
305:296,01[F  ]| about$4$ it at present$0#1$, and I believe it will$1$ be best to$9$ keep 
305:296,02[F  ]| it entirely concealed from her as long as may$1$ be. ~~ When 
305:296,03[F  ]| the marriage takes place$0$, I fear$1$ she must hear of it all." 
305:296,04[A  ]| "But why should such precaution be used? ~~ Though 
305:296,05[A  ]| it is not to$9$ be supposed that$3$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars can have the 
305:296,06[A  ]| smallest satisfaction in$4$ knowing that$3$ her son has money 
305:296,07[A  ]| enough to$9$ live upon$4$, ~~ for$3$ \that$6#2$\ must be quite out$5$ of the 
305:296,08[A  ]| question$0$; yet why, after$4$ her late behaviour, is she 
305:296,09[A  ]| supposed to$9$ feel at all? ~~ she has done with her son, she 
305:296,10[A  ]| has cast him off for*ever, and has made all those over 
305:296,11[A  ]| whom$6#1$ she had any influence$0$, cast him off likewise. 
305:296,12[A  ]| Surely, after$4$ doing so$5#2$, she cannot be imagined liable to$4$ 
305:296,13[A  ]| any impression of sorrow or of joy on$4$ his account$0$ ~~ 
305:296,14[A  ]| she cannot be interested in$4$ any*thing that$6#1$ befalls him. ~~ 
305:296,15[A  ]| She would not be so$5#1$ weak as to$9$ throw$1$ away the comfort$0$ 
305:296,16[A  ]| of a child, and yet retain the anxiety of a parent!" 
305:296,17[F  ]| "Ah!  $SS#A$Elinor," 
305:296,17['  ]| said $SS#F$John, 
305:296,17[F  ]| "your reasoning is very 
305:296,18[F  ]| good, but it is founded on$4$ ignorance of human nature. 
305:296,19[F  ]| When $SS#B$Edward's unhappy match$0$ takes place$0$, depend 
305:296,20[F  ]| upon$4$ it his mother will$1$ feel as much as if she had never 
305:296,21[F  ]| discarded him; and therefore every circumstance that$6#1$ 
305:296,22[F  ]| may$1$ accelerate that$6#2$ dreadful event, must be concealed 
305:296,23[F  ]| from her as much as possible.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars can never 
305:296,24[F  ]| forget that$3$ $SS#B$Edward is her son." 
305:296,25[A  ]| "You surprise$1$ me; I should think it must nearly 
305:296,26[A  ]| have escaped her memory by$4$ \this\ time." 
305:296,27[F  ]| "You wrong her exceedingly.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars is one 
305:296,28[F  ]| of the most affectionate mothers in$4$ the world." 
305:296,29['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was silent. 
305:296,30[F  ]| "We think \now\" ~~ 
305:296,30['  ]| said $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood, after$4$ a short 
305:296,31['  ]| pause$0$, 
305:296,31[F  ]| "of \$SS#J$Robert's\ marrying $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton." 
305:296,32['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, smiling at the grave$2$ and decisive importance 
305:296,33['  ]| of her brother's tone, calmly replied, 
305:296,34[A  ]| "The lady, I suppose, has no$2$ choice$0$ in$4$ the affair." 
305:296,35[F  ]| "Choice$0$! ~~ how do you mean$1$?" ~~ 
305:296,36[A  ]| "I only mean$1$, that$3$ I suppose from your manner of 
305:296,37[A  ]| speaking, it must be the same to$4$ $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton whether 
305:296,38[A  ]| she marry $SS#B$Edward or $SS#J$Robert." 
305:297,01[F  ]| "Certainly, there can be no$2$ difference; for$3$ $SS#J$Robert 
305:297,02[F  ]| will$1$ now to$4$ all intents and purposes be considered as the 
305:297,03[F  ]| eldest son; ~~ and as to$4$ any*thing else, they are both 
305:297,04[F  ]| very agreeable young men, I do not know that$3$ one is 
305:297,05[F  ]| superior to$4$ the other." 
305:297,06['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor said no$2$ more, and $SS#F$John was also for$4$ a short 
305:297,07['  ]| time silent. ~~ His reflections ended thus. 
305:297,08[F  ]| "Of \one\ thing, my dear$2#1$ sister," 
305:297,08['  ]| kindly taking her hand$0$, 
305:297,09['  ]| and speaking in$4$ an awful whisper$0$ ~~ 
305:297,09[F  ]| "I may$1$ assure you; ~~ 
305:297,10[F  ]| and I \will$1$\ do it, because I know it must gratify you. 
305:297,11[F  ]| I have good reason$0$ to$9$ think ~~ indeed I have it from the 
305:297,12[F  ]| best authority, or I should not repeat it, for$3$ otherwise it 
305:297,13[F  ]| would be very wrong to$9$ say any*thing about$4$ it ~~ but 
305:297,14[F  ]| I have it from the very best authority ~~ not that$3$ I ever 
305:297,15[F  ]| precisely heard $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars say it herself ~~ but her 
305:297,16[F  ]| daughter \did\, and I have it from her ~~ That$3$ in$4$ short, 
305:297,17[F  ]| whatever objections there might be against a certain ~~ 
305:297,18[F  ]| a certain connection ~~ you understand me ~~ it would 
305:297,19[F  ]| have been far preferable to$4$ her, it would not have given 
305:297,20[F  ]| her half the vexation that$6#1$ \this\ does.  I was exceedingly 
305:297,21[F  ]| pleased to$9$ hear that$3$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars considered it in$4$ that$6#2$ 
305:297,22[F  ]| light$0$ ~~ a very gratifying circumstance you know to$4$ us 
305:297,23[F  ]| all. 
305:297,23@i   | ""It would have been beyond$4$ comparison,"" 
305:297,23[F  ]| she said, 
305:297,24@i   | ""the least evil of the two, and she would be glad to$9$ 
305:297,25@i   | compound \now\ for$4$ nothing worse."" 
305:297,25[F  ]| But however, all 
305:297,26[F  ]| that$6#2$ is quite out$5$ of the question$0$ ~~ not to$9$ be thought$1$ of 
305:297,27[F  ]| or mentioned ~~ as to$4$ any attachment you know ~~ it 
305:297,28[F  ]| never could be ~~ all that$6#2$ is gone by$5$.  But I thought$1$ I 
305:297,29[F  ]| would just$5$ tell you of this, because I knew how much 
305:297,30[F  ]| it must please you.  Not that$3$ you have any reason$0$ to$9$ 
305:297,31[F  ]| regret$1$, my dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Elinor.  There is no$2$ doubt$0$ of your doing 
305:297,32[F  ]| exceedingly well$5$ ~~ quite as well$5$, or better, perhaps, all 
305:297,33[F  ]| things considered.  Has $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon been with you 
305:297,34[F  ]| lately?" 
305:297,35['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had heard enough, if not to$9$ gratify her vanity, 
305:297,36['  ]| and raise her self-importance, to$9$ agitate her nerves and 
305:297,37['  ]| fill her mind$0$; ~~ and she was therefore glad to$9$ be spared 
305:297,38['  ]| from the necessity of saying much in$4$ reply$0$ herself, and 
305:298,01['  ]| from the danger of hearing any*thing more from her 
305:298,02['  ]| brother, by$4$ the entrance of $SS#J$Mr%*Robert*Ferrars.  After$4$ 
305:298,03['  ]| a few moments' chat$0$, $SS#F$John*Dashwood, recollecting that$3$ 
305:298,04['  ]| $SS#G$Fanny was yet uninformed of his sister's being$1$ there, 
305:298,05['  ]| quitted the room in$4$ quest of her; and $SS#A$Elinor was left 
305:298,06['  ]| to$9$ improve her acquaintance with $SS#J$Robert, who$6#1$, by$4$ the 
305:298,07['  ]| gay unconcern, the happy self-complacency of his 
305:298,08['  ]| manner while$4$ enjoying so$5#1$ unfair a division of his mother's 
305:298,09['  ]| love$0$ and liberality, to$4$ the prejudice of his banished 
305:298,10['  ]| brother, earned only by$4$ his own$2$ dissipated course$0$ of 
305:298,11['  ]| life, and that$6#2$ brother's integrity, was confirming her 
305:298,12['  ]| most unfavourable opinion of his head$0$ and heart. 
305:298,13['  ]| They had scarcely been two minutes by$4$ themselves, 
305:298,14['  ]| before$3$ he began to$9$ speak of $SS#B$Edward; for$3$ he too$5#2$ had 
305:298,15['  ]| heard of the living, and was very inquisitive on$4$ the 
305:298,16['  ]| subject$0$.  $SS#A$Elinor repeated the particulars of it, as she 
305:298,17['  ]| had given them to$4$ $SS#F$John; and their effect$0$ on$4$ $SS#J$Robert 
305:298,18['  ]| though very different, was not less striking than it had 
305:298,19['  ]| been on$4$ \him\.  He laughed most immoderately.  The 
305:298,20['  ]| idea of $SS#B$Edward's being$1$ a clergyman, and living in$4$ a small 
305:298,21['  ]| parsonage-house, diverted him beyond$4$ measure$0$; ~~ and 
305:298,22['  ]| when to$4$ that$6#2$ was added the fanciful imagery of $SS#B$Edward 
305:298,23['  ]| reading prayers in$4$ a white surplice, and publishing the 
305:298,24['  ]| banns of marriage between $SS#X$John*Smith and $SS#X$Mary*Brown, 
305:298,25['  ]| he could conceive nothing more ridiculous. 
305:298,26['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, while$3$ she waited in$4$ silence$0$, and immovable 
305:298,27['  ]| gravity, the conclusion of such folly, could not restrain 
305:298,28['  ]| her eyes from being$1$ fixed on$4$ him with a look$0$ that$6#1$ spoke 
305:298,29['  ]| all the contempt it excited.  It was a look$0$, however, 
305:298,30['  ]| very well$5$ bestowed, for$3$ it relieved her own$2$ feelings, and 
305:298,31['  ]| gave no$2$ intelligence of him.  He was recalled from wit 
305:298,32['  ]| to$4$ wisdom, not by$4$ any reproof of her's, but by$4$ his own$2$ 
305:298,33['  ]| sensibility. 
305:298,34[J  ]| "We may$1$ treat$1$ it as a joke," 
305:298,34['  ]| said he at last$0$, recovering 
305:298,35['  ]| from the affected laugh$0$ which$6#1$ had considerably lengthened 
305:298,36['  ]| out$5$ the genuine gaiety of the moment ~~ 
305:298,36[J  ]| "but upon$4$ 
305:298,37[J  ]| my soul, it is a most serious$2$ business.  Poor $SS#B$Edward! he 
305:298,38[J  ]| is ruined for*ever.  I am extremely sorry for$4$ it ~~ for$3$ I 
305:299,01[J  ]| know him to$9$ be a very good-hearted creature; as well-meaning 
305:299,02[J  ]| a fellow perhaps, as any in$4$ the world.  You 
305:299,03[J  ]| must not judge$1$ of him, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, from \your\ 
305:299,04[J  ]| slight$2$ acquaintance. ~~ Poor $SS#B$Edward! ~~ His manners are 
305:299,05[J  ]| certainly not the happiest in$4$ nature. ~~ But we are not all 
305:299,06[J  ]| born$1#1$, you know, with the same powers ~~ the same address$0$. ~~ 
305:299,07[J  ]| Poor fellow! ~~ to$9$ see him in$4$ a circle of strangers! 
305:299,08[J  ]| ~~ to$9$ be sure it was pitiable enough! ~~ but, upon$4$ my 
305:299,09[J  ]| soul, I believe he has as good a heart as any in$4$ the 
305:299,10[J  ]| kingdom; and I declare and protest to$4$ you I never 
305:299,11[J  ]| was so$5#1$ shocked in$4$ my life, as when it all burst$1$ forth.  I 
305:299,12[J  ]| could not believe it. ~~ My mother was the first person 
305:299,13[J  ]| who$6#1$ told me of it, and I, feeling myself called on$5$ to$9$ act$1$ 
305:299,14[J  ]| with resolution, immediately said to$4$ her, ""My dear$2#1$ 
305:299,15[J  ]| madam, I do not know what you may$1$ intend to$9$ do on$4$ 
305:299,16[J  ]| the occasion$0$, but as for$4$ myself, I must say, that$3$ if 
305:299,17[J  ]| $SS#B$Edward does marry this young woman, \I\ never will$1$ see 
305:299,18[J  ]| him again.""  That$6#2$ was what I said immediately, ~~ I was 
305:299,19[J  ]| most uncommonly shocked indeed! ~~ Poor $SS#B$Edward! ~~ 
305:299,20[J  ]| he has done for$4$ himself completely ~~ shut himself out$5$ 
305:299,21[J  ]| for*ever from all decent society! ~~ but, as I directly 
305:299,22[J  ]| said to$4$ my mother, I am not in$4$ the least surprised at it; 
305:299,23[J  ]| from his style of education it was always to$9$ be expected. 
305:299,24[J  ]| My poor mother was half frantic." 
305:299,25[A  ]| "Have you ever seen the lady?" 
305:299,26[J  ]| "Yes; once, while$3$ she was staying in$4$ this house, 
305:299,27[J  ]| I happened to$9$ drop$1$ in$5$ for$4$ ten minutes; and I saw quite 
305:299,28[J  ]| enough of her.  The merest awkward country girl, 
305:299,29[J  ]| without style, or elegance, and almost without beauty. ~~ 
305:299,30[J  ]| I remember her perfectly.  Just$5$ the kind$0$ of girl I should 
305:299,31[J  ]| suppose likely to$9$ captivate poor $SS#B$Edward.  I offered 
305:299,32[J  ]| immediately, as soon as my mother related the affair 
305:299,33[J  ]| to$4$ me, to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$ him myself, and dissuade him from the 
305:299,34[J  ]| match$0$; but it was too$5#1$ late \then\, I found, to$9$ do any*thing, 
305:299,35[J  ]| for$3$ unluckily, I was not in$4$ the way at first, and knew 
305:299,36[J  ]| nothing of it till after$3$ the breach had taken place$0$, when 
305:299,37[J  ]| it was not for$4$ me, you know, to$9$ interfere.  But had I 
305:299,38[J  ]| been informed of it a few hours earlier ~~ I think it is 
305:300,01[J  ]| most probable ~~ that$3$ something might have been hit 
305:300,02[J  ]| on$5$.  I certainly should have represented it to$4$ $SS#B$Edward 
305:300,03[J  ]| in$4$ a very strong light$0$.  ""My dear$2#1$ fellow,"" I should have 
305:300,04[J  ]| said, ""consider what you are doing.  You are making 
305:300,05[J  ]| a most disgraceful connection, and such a one as your 
305:300,06[J  ]| family are unanimous in$4$ disapproving.""  I cannot help$1$ 
305:300,07[J  ]| thinking, in$4$ short, that$3$ means$0$ might have been found. 
305:300,08[J  ]| But now it is all too$5#1$ late.  He must be starved, you 
305:300,09[J  ]| know; ~~ that$6#2$ is certain; absolutely starved." 
305:300,10['  ]| He had just$5$ settled this point$0$ with great composure, 
305:300,11['  ]| when the entrance of $SS#G$Mrs%*John*Dashwood put an end$0$ 
305:300,12['  ]| to$4$ the subject$0$.  But though \she\ never spoke of it out$5$ of 
305:300,13['  ]| her own$2$ family, $SS#A$Elinor could see its influence$0$ on$4$ her 
305:300,14['  ]| mind$0$, in$4$ the something like$4$ confusion of countenance 
305:300,15['  ]| with which$6#1$ she entered, and an attempt$0$ at cordiality in$4$ 
305:300,16['  ]| her behaviour to$4$ herself.  She even$5$ proceeded so$5#1$ far as 
305:300,17['  ]| to$9$ be concerned to$9$ find that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor and her sister were so$5#1$ 
305:300,18['  ]| soon to$9$ leave$1$ town, as she had hoped to$9$ see more of 
305:300,19['  ]| them; ~~ an exertion in$4$ which$6#1$ her husband, who$6#1$ attended 
305:300,20['  ]| her into the room, and hung enamoured over her accents, 
305:300,21['  ]| seemed to$9$ distinguish every*thing that$6#1$ was most affectionate 
305:300,22['  ]| and graceful. 
306:301,01['  ]| One other short call$0$ in$4$ Harley-street, in$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor 
306:301,02['  ]| received her brother's congratulations on$4$ their travelling 
306:301,03['  ]| so$5#1$ far towards Barton without any expense, and on$4$ 
306:301,04['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's being$1$ to$9$ follow them to$4$ Cleveland in$4$ 
306:301,05['  ]| a day or two, completed the intercourse of the brother 
306:301,06['  ]| and sisters in$4$ town; ~~ and a faint$2$ invitation from $SS#G$Fanny, 
306:301,07['  ]| to$9$ come to$4$ Norland whenever it should happen to$9$ be in$4$ 
306:301,08['  ]| their way, which$6#1$ of all things was the most unlikely to$9$ 
306:301,09['  ]| occur, with a more warm$2$, though less public$2$, assurance, 
306:301,10['  ]| from $SS#F$John to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, of the promptitude with which$6#1$ he 
306:301,11['  ]| should come to$9$ see her at Delaford, was all that$6#1$ foretold 
306:301,12['  ]| any meeting in$4$ the country. 
306:301,13['  ]| It amused her to$9$ observe that$3$ all her friends seemed 
306:301,14['  ]| determined to$9$ send her to$4$ Delaford; ~~ a place$0$, in$4$ which$6#1$, 
306:301,15['  ]| of all others, she would now least chuse to$9$ visit$1$, or wish$1$ 
306:301,16['  ]| to$9$ reside; for$3$ not only was it considered as her future 
306:301,17['  ]| home by$4$ her brother and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, but even$5$ $SS#Q$Lucy, 
306:301,18['  ]| when they parted, gave her a pressing invitation to$9$ visit$1$ 
306:301,19['  ]| her there. 
306:301,20['  ]| Very early in$4$ April, and tolerably early in$4$ the day, 
306:301,21['  ]| the two parties from Hanover-square and Berkeley-street 
306:301,22['  ]| set$1$ out$5$ from their respective homes, to$9$ meet$1$, by$4$ appointment, 
306:301,23['  ]| on$4$ the road.  For$4$ the convenience of $SS#O$Charlotte 
306:301,24['  ]| and her child, they were to$9$ be more than two days on$4$ 
306:301,25['  ]| their journey, and $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer, travelling more expeditiously 
306:301,26['  ]| with $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, was to$9$ join them at 
306:301,27['  ]| Cleveland soon after$4$ their arrival. 
306:301,28['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, few as had been her hours of comfort$0$ in$4$ 
306:301,29['  ]| London, and eager as she had long been to$9$ quit it, could 
306:301,30['  ]| not, when it came to$4$ the point$0$, bid adieu to$4$ the house 
306:301,31['  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ she had for$4$ the last$2$ time enjoyed those hopes$0$, 
306:301,32['  ]| and that$6#2$ confidence, in$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, which$6#1$ were now 
306:301,33['  ]| extinguished for*ever, without great pain$0$.  Nor could she 
306:302,01['  ]| leave$1$ the place$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#R$Willoughby remained, busy in$4$ 
306:302,02['  ]| new engagements, and new schemes, in$4$ which$6#1$ \she\ could 
306:302,03['  ]| have no$2$ share$0$, without shedding many tears. 
306:302,04['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's satisfaction at the moment of removal, was 
306:302,05['  ]| more positive.  She had no$2$ such object$0$ for$4$ her lingering 
306:302,06['  ]| thoughts to$9$ fix on$4$, she left no$2$ creature behind, from 
306:302,07['  ]| whom$6#1$ it would give her a moment's regret$0$ to$9$ be divided 
306:302,08['  ]| for*ever, she was pleased to$9$ be free herself from the 
306:302,09['  ]| persecution of $SS#Q$Lucy's friendship, she was grateful for$4$ 
306:302,10['  ]| bringing her sister away unseen by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby since 
306:302,11['  ]| his marriage, and she looked forward$5$ with hope$0$ to$4$ what 
306:302,12['  ]| a few months of tranquillity at Barton might do towards 
306:302,13['  ]| restoring $SS#C$Marianne's peace of mind$0$, and confirming her 
306:302,14['  ]| own$2$. 
306:302,15['  ]| Their journey was safely performed.  The second$2$ day 
306:302,16['  ]| brought them into the cherished, or the prohibited, 
306:302,17['  ]| county of Somerset, for$3$ as such was it dwelt on$5$ by$4$ turns$0$ 
306:302,18['  ]| in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's imagination; and in$4$ the forenoon of the 
306:302,19['  ]| third they drove up$5$ to$4$ Cleveland. 
306:302,20['  ]| Cleveland was a spacious, modern-built house, situated 
306:302,21['  ]| on$4$ a sloping lawn.  It had no$2$ park, but the pleasure-grounds 
306:302,22['  ]| were tolerably extensive; and like$4$ every other 
306:302,23['  ]| place$0$ of the same degree of importance, it had its open$2$ 
306:302,24['  ]| shrubbery, and closer wood walk$0$, a road of smooth$2$ gravel 
306:302,25['  ]| winding round$4$ a plantation, led to$4$ the front$0$, the lawn 
306:302,26['  ]| was dotted over with timber, the house itself was under 
306:302,27['  ]| the guardianship of the fir, the mountain-ash, and the 
306:302,28['  ]| acacia, and a thick screen of them altogether, interspersed 
306:302,29['  ]| with tall Lombardy poplars, shut out$5$ the offices. 
306:302,30['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne entered the house with an heart swelling 
306:302,31['  ]| with emotion from the consciousness of being$1$ only eighty 
306:302,32['  ]| miles from Barton, and not thirty from Combe*Magna; 
306:302,33['  ]| and before$3$ she had been five minutes within its walls, 
306:302,34['  ]| while$3$ the others were busily helping $SS#O$Charlotte shew$1$ her 
306:302,35['  ]| child to$4$ the housekeeper, she quitted it again, stealing 
306:302,36['  ]| away through$4$ the winding shrubberies, now just$5$ 
306:302,37['  ]| beginning to$9$ be in$4$ beauty, to$9$ gain$1$ a distant eminence; 
306:302,38['  ]| where, from its Grecian temple, her eye, wandering over 
306:303,01['  ]| a wide tract of country to$4$ the south-east, could fondly 
306:303,02['  ]| rest$1$ on$4$ the farthest ridge of hills in$4$ the horizon, and 
306:303,03['  ]| fancy$1$ that$3$ from their summits Combe*Magna might be 
306:303,04['  ]| seen. 
306:303,05['  ]| In$4$ such moments of precious, of invaluable misery, 
306:303,06['  ]| she rejoiced in$4$ tears of agony to$9$ be at Cleveland; and as 
306:303,07['  ]| she returned by$4$ a different circuit to$4$ the house, feeling 
306:303,08['  ]| all the happy privilege of country liberty, of wandering 
306:303,09['  ]| from place$0$ to$4$ place$0$ in$4$ free and luxurious solitude, she 
306:303,10['  ]| resolved to$9$ spend almost every hour of every day while$3$ 
306:303,11['  ]| she remained with the $SS#N1$Palmers, in$4$ the indulgence of 
306:303,12['  ]| such solitary rambles. 
306:303,13['  ]| She returned just$5$ in$4$ time to$9$ join the others as they 
306:303,14['  ]| quitted the house, on$4$ an excursion through$4$ its more 
306:303,15['  ]| immediate premises; and the rest$0#1$ of the morning was 
306:303,16['  ]| easily whiled away, in$4$ lounging round$4$ the kitchen garden, 
306:303,17['  ]| examining the bloom upon$4$ its walls, and listening to$4$ 
306:303,18['  ]| the gardener's lamentations upon$4$ blights, ~~ in$4$ dawdling 
306:303,19['  ]| through$4$ the green-house, where the loss of her favourite$2$ 
306:303,20['  ]| plants, unwarily exposed, and nipped by$4$ the lingering 
306:303,21['  ]| frost, raised the laughter of $SS#O$Charlotte, ~~ and in$4$ visiting 
306:303,22['  ]| her poultry-yard, where, in$4$ the disappointed hopes$0$ of 
306:303,23['  ]| her dairy-maid, by$4$ hens forsaking their nests, or being$1$ 
306:303,24['  ]| stolen by$4$ a fox, or in$4$ the rapid decease of a promising 
306:303,25['  ]| young brood, she found fresh sources of merriment. 
306:303,26['  ]| The morning was fine and dry$2$, and $SS#C$Marianne, in$4$ her 
306:303,27['  ]| plan of employment abroad, had not calculated for$4$ any 
306:303,28['  ]| change$0$ of weather during their stay$0$ at Cleveland.  With 
306:303,29['  ]| great surprise$0$ therefore, did she find herself prevented by$4$ 
306:303,30['  ]| a settled rain$0$ from going out$5$ again after$4$ dinner.  She 
306:303,31['  ]| had depended on$4$ a twilight walk$0$ to$4$ the Grecian temple, 
306:303,32['  ]| and perhaps all over the grounds, and an evening merely 
306:303,33['  ]| cold$2$ or damp$2$ would not have deterred her from it; but 
306:303,34['  ]| an heavy and settled rain$0$ even$5$ \she\ could not fancy$1$ dry$2$ 
306:303,35['  ]| or pleasant weather for$4$ walking. 
306:303,36['  ]| Their party was small, and the hours passed quietly 
306:303,37['  ]| away.  $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer had her child, and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
306:303,38['  ]| her carpet-work; they talked of the friends they had 
306:304,01['  ]| left behind, arranged $SS#M$Lady*Middleton's engagements, 
306:304,02['  ]| and wondered whether $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
306:304,03['  ]| would get farther than Reading that$6#2$ night.  $SS#A$Elinor, 
306:304,04['  ]| however little concerned in$4$ it, joined in$4$ their discourse, 
306:304,05['  ]| and $SS#C$Marianne, who$6#1$ had the knack of finding her way 
306:304,06['  ]| in$4$ every house to$4$ the library, however it might be 
306:304,07['  ]| avoided by$4$ the family in$4$ general$0$, soon procured herself 
306:304,08['  ]| a book. 
306:304,09['  ]| Nothing was wanting on$4$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's side$0$ that$6#1$ constant 
306:304,10['  ]| and friendly good-humour could do, to$9$ make$1$ them 
306:304,11['  ]| feel themselves welcome$2$.  The openness and heartiness 
306:304,12['  ]| of her manner, more than atoned for$4$ that$6#2$ want$0$ of 
306:304,13['  ]| recollection and elegance, which$6#1$ made her often deficient 
306:304,14['  ]| in$4$ the forms of politeness; her kindness, recommended 
306:304,15['  ]| by$4$ so$5#1$ pretty$2$ a face$0$, was engaging; her folly, though 
306:304,16['  ]| evident, was not disgusting, because it was not conceited; 
306:304,17['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor could have forgiven every*thing but 
306:304,18['  ]| her laugh$0$. 
306:304,19['  ]| The two gentlemen arrived the next day to$4$ a very late 
306:304,20['  ]| dinner, affording a pleasant enlargement of the party, 
306:304,21['  ]| and a very welcome$2$ variety to$4$ their conversation, which$6#1$ 
306:304,22['  ]| a long morning of the same continued rain$0$ had reduced 
306:304,23['  ]| very low. 
306:304,24['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had seen so$5#1$ little of $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer, and in$4$ that$6#2$ 
306:304,25['  ]| little had seen so$5#1$ much variety in$4$ his address$0$ to$4$ her sister 
306:304,26['  ]| and herself, that$3$ she knew not what to$9$ expect to$9$ find 
306:304,27['  ]| him in$4$ his own$2$ family.  She found him, however, perfectly 
306:304,28['  ]| the gentleman in$4$ his behaviour to$4$ all his visitors, 
306:304,29['  ]| and only occasionally rude to$4$ his wife and her mother; 
306:304,30['  ]| she found him very capable of being$1$ a pleasant companion, 
306:304,31['  ]| and only prevented from being$1$ so$5#2$ always, by$4$ 
306:304,32['  ]| too$5#1$ great an aptitude to$9$ fancy$1$ himself as much superior 
306:304,33['  ]| to$4$ people in$4$ general$0$, as he must feel himself to$9$ be to$4$ 
$SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
306:304,34['  ]| and $SS#O$Charlotte.  For$4$ the rest$0#1$ of his character 
306:304,35['  ]| and habits, they were marked, as far as $SS#A$Elinor could 
306:304,36['  ]| perceive, with no$2$ traits at all unusual in$4$ his sex and 
306:304,37['  ]| time of life.  He was nice in$4$ his eating, uncertain in$4$ his 
306:304,38['  ]| hours; fond of his child, though affecting to$9$ slight$1$ it; 
306:305,01['  ]| and idled away the mornings at billiards, which$6#1$ ought 
306:305,02['  ]| to$9$ have been devoted to$4$ business.  She liked him, 
306:305,03['  ]| however, upon$4$ the whole$0$ much better than she had 
306:305,04['  ]| expected, and in$4$ her heart was not sorry that$3$ she could 
306:305,05['  ]| like$1$ him no$2$ more; ~~ not sorry to$9$ be driven by$4$ the 
306:305,06['  ]| observation of his Epicurism, his selfishness, and his 
306:305,07['  ]| conceit, to$9$ rest$1$ with complacency on$4$ the remembrance 
306:305,08['  ]| of $SS#B$Edward's generous temper, simple$2$ taste, and diffident 
306:305,09['  ]| feelings. 
306:305,10['  ]| Of $SS#B$Edward, or at least of some of his concerns$0$, she 
306:305,11['  ]| now received intelligence from $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, who$6#1$ 
306:305,12['  ]| had been into Dorsetshire lately; and who$6#1$, treating 
306:305,13['  ]| her at once as the disinterested friend of $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars, and 
306:305,14['  ]| the kind$2$ confidante of himself, talked to$4$ her a great deal$0$ 
306:305,15['  ]| of the Parsonage at Delaford, described its deficiencies, 
306:305,16['  ]| and told her what he meant to$9$ do himself towards 
306:305,17['  ]| removing them. ~~ His behaviour to$4$ her in$4$ this, as well$5$ 
306:305,18['  ]| as in$4$ every other particular, his open$2$ pleasure in$4$ meeting 
306:305,19['  ]| her after$4$ an absence of only ten days, his readiness to$9$ 
306:305,20['  ]| converse with her, and his deference for$4$ her opinion, 
306:305,21['  ]| might very well$5$ justify $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's persuasion of his 
306:305,22['  ]| attachment, and would have been enough, perhaps, 
306:305,23['  ]| had not $SS#A$Elinor still$5$, as from the first, believed $SS#C$Marianne 
306:305,24['  ]| his real favourite$0$, to$9$ make$1$ her suspect it herself.  But 
306:305,25['  ]| as it was, such a notion had scarcely ever entered her 
306:305,26['  ]| head$0$, except by$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's suggestion; and she 
306:305,27['  ]| could not help$1$ believing herself the nicest observer of 
306:305,28['  ]| the two; ~~ she watched his eyes, while$3$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
306:305,29['  ]| thought$1$ only of his behaviour; ~~ and while$3$ his looks$0$ of 
306:305,30['  ]| anxious solicitude on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's feeling, in$4$ her head$0$ 
306:305,31['  ]| and throat, the beginning of an heavy cold$0$, because 
306:305,32['  ]| unexpressed by$4$ words, entirely escaped the latter lady's 
306:305,33['  ]| observation; ~~ \she\ could discover in$4$ them the quick$2$ 
306:305,34['  ]| feelings, and needless alarm$0$ of a lover. 
306:305,35['  ]| Two delightful twilight walks$0$ on$4$ the third and fourth 
306:305,36['  ]| evenings of her being$1$ there, not merely on$4$ the dry$2$ gravel 
306:305,37['  ]| of the shrubbery, but all over the grounds, and especially 
306:305,38['  ]| in$4$ the most distant parts of them, where there was something 
306:306,01['  ]| more of wildness than in$4$ the rest$0#1$, where the 
306:306,02['  ]| trees were the oldest, and the grass was the longest and 
306:306,03['  ]| wettest, had ~~ assisted by$4$ the still$5$ greater imprudence 
306:306,04['  ]| of sitting in$4$ her wet$2$ shoes and stockings ~~ given $SS#C$Marianne 
306:306,05['  ]| a cold$0$ so$5#1$ violent, as, though for$4$ a day or two trifled with 
306:306,06['  ]| or denied, would force$1$ itself by$4$ increasing ailments, on$4$ 
306:306,07['  ]| the concern$0$ of every*body, and the notice$0$ of herself. 
306:306,08['  ]| Prescriptions poured in$5$ from all quarters, and as usual, 
306:306,09['  ]| were all declined.  Though heavy and feverish, with 
306:306,10['  ]| a pain$0$ in$4$ her limbs, a cough, and a sore throat, a good 
306:306,11['  ]| night's rest$0#2$ was to$9$ cure$1$ her entirely; and it was with 
306:306,12['  ]| difficulty that$3$ $SS#A$Elinor prevailed on$4$ her, when she went 
306:306,13['  ]| to$4$ bed, to$9$ try one or two of the simplest of the remedies. 
307:307,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne got up$5$ the next morning at her usual time; 
307:307,02['  ]| to$4$ every inquiry replied that$3$ she was better, and tried to$9$ 
307:307,03['  ]| prove herself so$5#2$, by$4$ engaging in$4$ her accustomary employments. 
307:307,04['  ]| But a day spent in$4$ sitting shivering over the 
307:307,05['  ]| fire$0$ with a book in$4$ her hand$0$, which$6#1$ she was unable to$9$ 
307:307,06['  ]| read, or in$4$ lying, weary and languid, on$4$ a sofa, did not 
307:307,07['  ]| speak much in$4$ favour$0$ of her amendment; and when, 
307:307,08['  ]| at last$0$, she went early to$4$ bed, more and more indisposed, 
307:307,09['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon was only astonished at her sister's 
307:307,10['  ]| composure, who$6#1$, though attending and nursing her the 
307:307,11['  ]| whole$2$ day, against $SS#C$Marianne's inclination, and forcing 
307:307,12['  ]| proper medicines on$4$ her at night, trusted, like$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, 
307:307,13['  ]| to$4$ the certainty and efficacy of sleep$0$, and felt no$2$ real 
307:307,14['  ]| alarm$0$. 
307:307,15['  ]| A very restless and feverish night, however, disappointed 
307:307,16['  ]| the expectation of both; and when $SS#C$Marianne, 
307:307,17['  ]| after$4$ persisting in$4$ rising, confessed herself unable to$9$ sit 
307:307,18['  ]| up$5$, and returned voluntarily to$4$ her bed, $SS#A$Elinor was very 
307:307,19['  ]| ready to$9$ adopt $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's advice, of sending for$4$ 
307:307,20['  ]| the $SS#N1$Palmers' apothecary. 
307:307,21['  ]| He came, examined his patient, and though encouraging 
307:307,22['  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood to$9$ expect that$3$ a very few days 
307:307,23['  ]| would restore her sister to$4$ health, yet, by$4$ pronouncing 
307:307,24['  ]| her disorder to$9$ have a putrid tendency, and allowing the 
307:307,25['  ]| word 
307:307,25[W  ]| "infection" 
307:307,25['  ]| to$9$ pass$1$ his lips, gave instant$2$ alarm$0$ 
307:307,26['  ]| to$4$ $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer on$4$ her baby's account$0$.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
307:307,27['  ]| who$6#1$ had been inclined from the first to$9$ think $SS#C$Marianne's 
307:307,28['  ]| complaint more serious$2$ than $SS#A$Elinor, now looked very 
307:307,29['  ]| grave$2$ on$4$ $SS#W$Mr%*Harris's report$0$, and confirming $SS#O$Charlotte's 
307:307,30['  ]| fears and caution$0$, urged the necessity of her immediate 
307:307,31['  ]| removal with her infant; and $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer, though 
307:307,32['  ]| treating their apprehensions as idle, found the anxiety 
307:307,33['  ]| and importunity of his wife too$5#1$ great to$9$ be withstood. 
307:308,01['  ]| Her departure therefore was fixed on$5$; and, within an 
307:308,02['  ]| hour after$4$ $SS#W$Mr%*Harris's arrival, she set$1$ off, with her 
307:308,03['  ]| little boy and his nurse$0$, for$4$ the house of a near$2$ relation 
307:308,04['  ]| of $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer's, who$6#1$ lived a few miles on$4$ the other side$0$ 
307:308,05['  ]| of Bath$0#1$; whither her husband promised, at her earnest 
307:308,06['  ]| entreaty, to$9$ join her in$4$ a day or two; and whither she 
307:308,07['  ]| was almost equally urgent with her mother to$9$ accompany 
307:308,08['  ]| her.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, however, with a kindness of 
307:308,09['  ]| heart which$6#1$ made $SS#A$Elinor really love$1$ her, declared her 
307:308,10['  ]| resolution of not stirring from Cleveland as long as 
307:308,11['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne remained ill, and of endeavouring, by$4$ her own$2$ 
307:308,12['  ]| attentive care$0$, to$9$ supply$1$ to$4$ her the place$0$ of the mother 
307:308,13['  ]| she had taken her from; and $SS#A$Elinor found her on$4$ every 
307:308,14['  ]| occasion$0$ a most willing and active helpmate, desirous 
307:308,15['  ]| to$9$ share$1$ in$4$ all her fatigues$0$, and often by$4$ her better 
307:308,16['  ]| experience$0$ in$4$ nursing, of material$2$ use$0$. 
307:308,17['  ]| Poor $SS#C$Marianne, languid and low from the nature of 
307:308:18['  ]| her malady, and feeling herself universally ill, could no$2$ 
307:308,19['  ]| longer hope$1$ that$3$ to-morrow would find her recovered; 
307:308,20['  ]| and the idea of what to-morrow would have produced, 
307:308,21['  ]| but for$4$ this unlucky illness, made every ailment more 
307:308,22['  ]| severe; for$3$ on$4$ that$6#2$ day they were to$9$ have begun their 
307:308,23['  ]| journey home; and, attended the whole$2$ way by$4$ a servant 
307:308,24['  ]| of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, were to$9$ have taken their mother 
307:308,25['  ]| by$4$ surprise$0$ on$4$ the following forenoon.  The little that$6#1$ 
307:308,26['  ]| she said, was all in$4$ lamentation of this inevitable delay$0$; 
307:308,27['  ]| though $SS#A$Elinor tried to$9$ raise her spirits, and make$1$ her 
307:308,28['  ]| believe, as she \then\ really believed herself, that$3$ it would 
307:308,29['  ]| be a very short one. 
307:308,30['  ]| The next day produced little or no$2$ alteration in$4$ the 
307:308,31['  ]| state$0$ of the patient; she certainly was not better, and 
307:308,32['  ]| except that$3$ there was no$2$ amendment, did not appear 
307:308,33['  ]| worse.  Their party was now farther reduced; for$3$ 
307:308,34['  ]| $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer, though very unwilling to$9$ go, as well$5$ from 
307:308,35['  ]| real humanity and good-nature, as from a dislike$0$ of 
307:308,36['  ]| appearing to$9$ be frightened away by$4$ his wife, was persuaded 
307:308,37['  ]| at last$0$ by$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon to$9$ perform his promise$0$ 
307:308,38['  ]| of following her; and while$3$ he was preparing to$9$ go, 
307:309,01['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon himself, with a much greater exertion, 
307:309,02['  ]| began to$9$ talk$1$ of going likewise. ~~ Here, however, the 
307:309,03['  ]| kindness of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings interposed most acceptably; 
307:309,04['  ]| for$3$ 
307:309,04@k   | to$9$ send the $SS#H$Colonel away while$3$ his love$0$ was in$4$ so$5#1$ 
307:309,05@k   | much uneasiness on$4$ her sister's account$0$, would be to$9$ 
307:309,06@k   | deprive them both, 
307:309,06['  ]| she thought$1$, 
307:309,06@k   | of every comfort$0$; 
307:309,06['  ]| and 
307:309,07['  ]| therefore telling him at once that$3$ 
307:309,07@k   | his stay$0$ at Cleveland 
307:309,08@k   | was necessary to$4$ herself, that$3$ she should want$1$ him to$9$ 
307:309,09@k   | play$1$ at piquet of an evening, while$3$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood was 
307:309,10@k   | above$5$ with her sister, 
307:309,10['  ]| &c% she urged him so$5#1$ strongly 
307:309,11['  ]| to$9$ remain, that$3$ he, who$6#1$ was gratifying the first wish$0$ 
307:309,12['  ]| of his own$2$ heart by$4$ a compliance, could not long even$5$ 
307:309,13['  ]| affect to$9$ demur; especially as $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's entreaty 
307:309,14['  ]| was warmly seconded by$4$ $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer, who$6#1$ seemed to$9$ feel 
307:309,15['  ]| a relief to$4$ himself, in$4$ leaving behind him a person so$5#1$ well$5$ 
307:309,16['  ]| able to$9$ assist or advise $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood in$4$ any emergence. 
307:309,17['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was of course$8$ kept in$4$ ignorance of all these 
307:309,18['  ]| arrangements.  She knew not that$3$ she had been the 
307:309,19['  ]| means$0$ of sending the owners of Cleveland away, in$4$ 
307:309,20['  ]| about$4$ seven days from the time of their arrival.  It gave 
307:309,21['  ]| her no$2$ surprise$0$ that$3$ she saw nothing of $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer; 
307:309,22['  ]| and as it gave her likewise no$2$ concern$0$, she never mentioned 
307:309,23['  ]| her name$0$. 
307:309,24['  ]| Two days passed away from the time of $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer's 
307:309,25['  ]| departure, and her situation continued, with little variation, 
307:309,26['  ]| the same.  $SS#W$Mr%*Harris, who$6#1$ attended her every day, 
307:309,27['  ]| still$5$ talked boldly of a speedy recovery, and $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood 
307:309,28['  ]| was equally sanguine; but the expectation of 
307:309,29['  ]| the others was by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ so$5#1$ cheerful.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
307:309,30['  ]| had determined very early in$4$ the seisure that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne 
307:309,31['  ]| would never get over it, and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, who$6#1$ was 
307:309,32['  ]| chiefly of use$0$ in$4$ listening to$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's forebodings, 
307:309,33['  ]| was not in$4$ a state$0$ of mind$0$ to$9$ resist their influence$0$.  He 
307:309,34['  ]| tried to$9$ reason$1$ himself out$5$ of fears, which$6#1$ the different 
307:309,35['  ]| judgment of the apothecary seemed to$9$ render absurd; 
307:309,36['  ]| but the many hours of each day in$4$ which$6#1$ he was left 
307:309,37['  ]| entirely alone, were but too$5#1$ favourable for$4$ the admission 
307:309,38['  ]| of every melancholy$2$ idea, and he could not expel from 
307:310,01['  ]| his mind$0$ the persuasion that$3$ he should see $SS#C$Marianne no$2$ 
307:310,02['  ]| more. 
307:310,03['  ]| On$4$ the morning of the third day however, the gloomy 
307:310,04['  ]| anticipations of both were almost done away; for$3$ when 
307:310,05['  ]| $SS#W$Mr%*Harris arrived, he declared his patient materially 
307:310,06['  ]| better.  Her pulse was much stronger, and every symptom 
307:310,07['  ]| more favourable than on$4$ the preceding visit$0$. 
307:310,08['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, confirmed in$4$ every pleasant hope$0$, was all cheerfulness; 
307:310,09['  ]| rejoicing that$3$ in$4$ her letters to$4$ her mother, she 
307:310,10['  ]| had pursued her own$2$ judgment rather than her friend's, 
307:310,11['  ]| in$4$ making very light$2$ of the indisposition which$6#1$ delayed 
307:310,12['  ]| them at Cleveland; and almost fixing on$4$ the time when 
307:310,13['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne would be able to$9$ travel. 
307:310,14['  ]| But the day did not close$1$ so$5#1$ auspiciously as it began. ~~ 
307:310,15['  ]| Towards the evening, $SS#C$Marianne became ill again, 
307:310,16['  ]| growing more heavy, restless, and uncomfortable than 
307:310,17['  ]| before$5$.  Her sister, however, still$5$ sanguine, was willing 
307:310,18['  ]| to$9$ attribute the change$0$ to$4$ nothing more than the fatigue$0$ 
307:310,19['  ]| of having sat up$5$ to$9$ have her bed made; and carefully 
307:310,20['  ]| administering the cordials prescribed, saw her with 
307:310,21['  ]| satisfaction sink at last$0$ into a slumber$0$, from which$6#1$ she 
307:310,22['  ]| expected the most beneficial effects.  Her sleep$0$, though 
307:310,23['  ]| not so$5#1$ quiet$2$ as $SS#A$Elinor wished to$9$ see it, lasted a considerable 
307:310,24['  ]| time; and anxious to$9$ observe the result$0$ of it 
307:310,25['  ]| herself, she resolved to$9$ sit with her during the whole$0$ of 
307:310,26['  ]| it.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, knowing nothing of any change$0$ in$4$ 
307:310,27['  ]| the patient, went unusually early to$4$ bed; her maid, who$6#1$ 
307:310,28['  ]| was one of the principal$2$ nurses, was recreating herself 
307:310,29['  ]| in$4$ the housekeeper's room, and $SS#A$Elinor remained alone 
307:310,30['  ]| with $SS#C$Marianne. 
307:310,31['  ]| The repose of the latter became more and more disturbed; 
307:310,32['  ]| and her sister, who$6#1$ watched with unremitting 
307:310,33['  ]| attention her continual change$0$ of posture, and heard 
307:310,34['  ]| the frequent but inarticulate sounds$0$ of complaint which$6#1$ 
307:310,35['  ]| passed her lips, was almost wishing to$9$ rouse her from 
307:310,36['  ]| so$5#1$ painful a slumber$0$, when $SS#C$Marianne, suddenly awakened 
307:310,37['  ]| by$4$ some accidental noise in$4$ the house, started 
307:310,38['  ]| hastily up$5$, and with feverish wildness, cried out$5$ ~~ 
307:311,01[C  ]| "Is mama coming? ~~" 
307:311,02[A  ]| "Not yet," 
307:311,02['  ]| replied the other, concealing her terror, 
307:311,03['  ]| and assisting $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ lie$1$ down$5$ again, 
307:311,03[A  ]| "but she will$1$ 
307:311,04[A  ]| be here, I hope$1$, before$3$ it is long.  It is a great way, you 
307:311,05[A  ]| know, from hence to$4$ Barton." 
307:311,06[C  ]| "But she must not go round$5$ by$4$ London," 
307:311,06['  ]| cried 
307:311,07['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, in$4$ the same hurried manner, 
307:311,07[C  ]| "I shall never 
307:311,08[C  ]| see her, if she goes by$4$ London." 
307:311,09['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor perceived with alarm$0$ that$3$ she was not quite 
307:311,10['  ]| herself, and while$4$ attempting to$9$ sooth her, eagerly felt 
307:311,11['  ]| her pulse.  It was lower$2$ and quicker than ever! and 
307:311,12['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, still$5$ talking wildly of mama, her alarm$0$ increased 
307:311,13['  ]| so$5#1$ rapidly, as to$9$ determine her on$4$ sending 
307:311,14['  ]| instantly for$4$ $SS#W$Mr%*Harris, and dispatching a messenger 
307:311,15['  ]| to$4$ Barton for$4$ her mother.  To$9$ consult with $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
307:311,16['  ]| on$4$ the best means$0$ of effecting the latter, was 
307:311,17['  ]| a thought$0$ which$6#1$ immediately followed the resolution of 
307:311,18['  ]| its performance; and as soon as she had rung up$5$ the 
307:311,19['  ]| maid to$9$ take her place$0$ by$4$ her sister, she hastened down$5$ 
307:311,20['  ]| to$4$ the drawing-room, where she knew he was generally 
307:311,21['  ]| to$9$ be found at a much later hour than the present$0#1$. 
307:311,22['  ]| It was no$2$ time for$4$ hesitation.  Her fears and her 
307:311,23['  ]| difficulties were immediately before$4$ him.  Her fears, he 
307:311,24['  ]| had no$2$ courage, no$2$ confidence to$9$ attempt$1$ the removal 
307:311,25['  ]| of; ~~ he listened to$4$ them in$4$ silent despondence; ~~ but 
307:311,26['  ]| her difficulties were instantly obviated, for$3$ with a readiness 
307:311,27['  ]| that$6#1$ seemed to$9$ speak the occasion$0$, and the service 
307:311,28['  ]| pre-arranged in$4$ his mind$0$, he offered himself as the 
307:311,29['  ]| messenger who$6#1$ should fetch $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood.  $SS#A$Elinor 
307:311,30['  ]| made no$2$ resistance that$6#1$ was not easily overcome.  She 
307:311,31['  ]| thanked him with brief, though fervent gratitude, and 
307:311,32['  ]| while$3$ he went to$9$ hurry$1$ off his servant with a message 
307:311,33['  ]| to$4$ $SS#W$Mr%*Harris, and an order for$4$ post-horses directly, she 
307:311,34['  ]| wrote a few lines to$4$ her mother. 
307:311,35['  ]| The comfort$0$ of such a friend at that$6#2$ moment as 
307:311,36['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon ~~ of such a companion for$4$ her mother, ~~ 
307:311,37['  ]| how gratefully was it felt! ~~a companion whose$6#1$ judgment 
307:311,38['  ]| would guide$1$, whose$6#1$ attendance must relieve, and 
307:312,01['  ]| whose$6#1$ friendship might sooth her! ~~ as far as the shock$0$ 
307:312,02['  ]| of such a summons \could\ be lessened to$4$ her, his presence, 
307:312,03['  ]| his manners, his assistance, would lessen it. 
307:312,04['  ]| \He\, meanwhile, whatever he might feel, acted with 
307:312,05['  ]| all the firmness of a collected mind$0$, made every necessary 
307:312,06['  ]| arrangement with the utmost dispatch, and calculated 
307:312,07['  ]| with exactness the time in$4$ which$6#1$ she might look$1$ for$4$ his 
307:312,08['  ]| return$0$.  Not a moment was lost in$4$ delay$0$ of any kind$0$. 
307:312,09['  ]| The horses arrived, even$5$ before$3$ they were expected, 
307:312,10['  ]| and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon only pressing her hand$0$ with a 
307:312,11['  ]| look$0$ of solemnity, and a few words spoken too$5#1$ low 
307:312,12['  ]| to$9$ reach$1$ her ear, hurried into the carriage.  It 
307:312,13['  ]| was then about$4$ twelve o'clock, and she returned to$4$ 
307:312,14['  ]| her sister's apartment to$9$ wait for$4$ the arrival of the 
307:312,15['  ]| apothecary, and to$9$ watch$1$ by$4$ her the rest$0#1$ of the night. 
307:312,16['  ]| It was a night of almost equal$2$ suffering to$4$ both.  Hour 
307:312,17['  ]| after$4$ hour passed away in$4$ sleepless pain$0$ and delirium on$4$ 
307:312,18['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's side$0$, and in$4$ the most cruel anxiety on$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's, 
307:312,19['  ]| before$3$ $SS#W$Mr%*Harris appeared.  Her apprehensions once 
307:312,20['  ]| raised, paid by$4$ their excess for$4$ all her former security; 
307:312,21['  ]| and the servant who$6#1$ sat up$5$ with her, for$3$ she would not 
307:312,22['  ]| allow $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings to$9$ be called, only tortured her more, 
307:312,23['  ]| by$4$ hints of what her mistress had always thought$1$. 
307:312,24['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's ideas were still$5$, at intervals, fixed incoherently 
307:312,25['  ]| on$4$ her mother, and whenever she mentioned 
307:312,26['  ]| her name$0$, it gave a pang to$4$ the heart of poor $SS#A$Elinor, 
307:312,27['  ]| who$6#1$, reproaching herself for$4$ having trifled with so$5#1$ many 
307:312,28['  ]| days of illness, and wretched for$4$ some immediate relief, 
307:312,29['  ]| fancied that$3$ all relief might soon be in$4$ vain, that$3$ every*thing 
307:312,30['  ]| had been delayed too$5#1$ long, and pictured to$4$ herself 
307:312,31['  ]| her suffering mother arriving too$5#1$ late to$9$ see this darling 
307:312,32['  ]| child, or to$9$ see her rational. 
307:312,33['  ]| She was on$4$ the point$0$ of sending again for$4$ $SS#W$Mr%*Harris, 
307:312,34['  ]| or if \he\ could not come, for$4$ some other advice, when the 
307:312,35['  ]| former ~~ but not till after$4$ five o'clock ~~ arrived.  His 
307:312,36['  ]| opinion, however, made some little amends for$4$ his delay$0$, 
307:312,37['  ]| for$3$ though acknowledging a very unexpected and unpleasant 
307:312,38['  ]| alteration in$4$ his patient, he would not allow 
307:313,01['  ]| the danger to$9$ be material$2$, and talked of the relief which$6#1$ 
307:313,02['  ]| a fresh mode of treatment must procure, with a confidence 
307:313,03['  ]| which$6#1$, in$4$ a lesser degree, was communicated to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor. 
307:313,04['  ]| He promised to$9$ call$1$ again in$4$ the course$0$ of three or four 
307:313,05['  ]| hours, and left both the patient and her anxious attendant 
307:313,06['  ]| more composed than he had found them. 
307:313,07['  ]| With strong concern$0$, and with many reproaches for$4$ 
307:313,08['  ]| not being$1$ called to$4$ their aid, did $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings hear in$4$ 
307:313,09['  ]| the morning of what had passed.  Her former apprehensions, 
307:313,10['  ]| now with greater reason$0$ restored, left her no$2$ 
307:313,11['  ]| doubt$0$ of the event; and though trying to$9$ speak comfort$0$ 
307:313,12['  ]| to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, her conviction of her sister's danger would 
307:313,13['  ]| not allow her to$9$ offer$1$ the comfort$0$ of hope$0$.  Her heart 
307:313,14['  ]| was really grieved.  The rapid decay, the early death 
307:313,15['  ]| of a girl so$5#1$ young, so$5#1$ lovely as $SS#C$Marianne, must have 
307:313,16['  ]| struck a less interested person with concern$0$.  On$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
307:313,17['  ]| compassion she had other claims.  She had 
307:313,18['  ]| been for$4$ three months her companion, was still$5$ under 
307:313,19['  ]| her care$0$, and she was known to$9$ have been greatly injured, 
307:313,20['  ]| and long unhappy.  The distress$0$ of her sister too$5#2$, particularly 
307:313,21['  ]| a favourite$0$, was before$4$ her; ~~ and as for$4$ their 
307:313,22['  ]| mother, when $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings considered that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne 
307:313,23['  ]| might probably be to$4$ \her\ what $SS#O$Charlotte was to$4$ herself, 
307:313,24['  ]| her sympathy in$4$ \her\ sufferings was very sincere. 
307:313,25['  ]| $SS#W$Mr%*Harris was punctual in$4$ his second$2$ visit$0$; ~~ but 
307:313,26['  ]| he came to$9$ be disappointed in$4$ his hopes$0$ of what the last$0$ 
307:313,27['  ]| would produce.  His medicines had failed; ~~ the fever 
307:313,28['  ]| was unabated; and $SS#C$Marianne only more quiet$2$ ~~ not 
307:313,29['  ]| more herself ~~ remained in$4$ an heavy stupor.  $SS#A$Elinor, 
307:313,30['  ]| catching all, and more than all, his fears in$4$ a moment, 
307:313,31['  ]| proposed to$9$ call$1$ in$5$ farther advice.  But he judged it 
307:313,32['  ]| unnecessary; he had still$5$ something more to$9$ try, some 
307:313,33['  ]| fresh application, of whose$6#1$ success he was almost as 
307:313,34['  ]| confident as the last$0$, and his visit$0$ concluded with 
307:313,35['  ]| encouraging assurances which$6#1$ reached the ear, but 
307:313,36['  ]| could not enter the heart, of $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood.  She was 
307:313,37['  ]| calm$2$, except when she thought$1$ of her mother, but she 
307:313,38['  ]| was almost hopeless; and in$4$ this state$0$ she continued 
307:314,01['  ]| till noon, scarcely stirring from her sister's bed, her 
307:314,02['  ]| thoughts wandering from one image of grief, one suffering 
307:314,03['  ]| friend to$4$ another, and her spirits oppressed to$4$ the 
307:314,04['  ]| utmost by$4$ the conversation of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, who$6#1$ 
307:314,05['  ]| scrupled not to$9$ attribute the severity and danger of 
307:314,06['  ]| this attack$0$, to$4$ the many weeks of previous indisposition 
307:314,07['  ]| which$6#1$ $SS#C$Marianne's disappointment had brought on$5$. 
307:314,08['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor felt all the reasonableness of the idea, and it gave 
307:314,09['  ]| fresh misery to$9$ her reflections. 
307:314,10['  ]| About$4$ noon, however, she began ~~ but with a caution$0$ 
307:314,11['  ]| ~~ a dread$0$ of disappointment, which$6#1$ for$4$ some time kept 
307:314,12['  ]| her silent, even$5$ to$4$ her friend ~~ to$9$ fancy$1$, to$9$ hope$1$ she could 
307:314,13['  ]| perceive a slight$2$ amendment in$4$ her sister's pulse; ~~ 
307:314,14['  ]| she waited, watched, and examined it again and again; ~~ 
307:314,15['  ]| and at last$0$, with an agitation more difficult to$9$ bury under 
307:314,16['  ]| exterior calmness, than all her foregoing distress$0$, ventured 
307:314,17['  ]| to$9$ communicate her hopes$0$.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, though 
307:314,18['  ]| forced, on$4$ examination, to$9$ acknowledge a temporary 
307:314,19['  ]| revival, tried to$9$ keep her young friend from indulging 
307:314,20['  ]| a thought$0$ of its continuance; ~~ and $SS#A$Elinor, conning over 
307:314,21['  ]| every injunction of distrust$0$, told herself likewise not 
307:314,22['  ]| to$9$ hope$1$.  But it was too$5#1$ late.  Hope$0$ had already 
307:314,23['  ]| entered; and feeling all its anxious flutter, she bent over 
307:314,24['  ]| her sister to$9$ watch$1$ ~~ she hardly knew for$4$ what.  Half 
307:314,25['  ]| an hour passed away, and the favourable symptom yet 
307:314,26['  ]| blessed her.  Others even$5$ arose to$9$ confirm it.  Her 
307:314,27['  ]| breath, her skin, her lips, all flattered $SS#A$Elinor with signs of 
307:314,28['  ]| amendment, and $SS#C$Marianne fixed her eyes on$4$ her with 
307:314,29['  ]| a rational, though languid, gaze.  Anxiety and hope$0$ now 
307:314,30['  ]| oppressed her in$4$ equal$2$ degrees, and left her no$2$ moment of 
307:314,31['  ]| tranquillity till the arrival of $SS#W$Mr%*Harris at four o'clock; 
307:314,32['  ]| ~~ when his assurances, his felicitations on$4$ a recovery 
307:314,33['  ]| in$4$ her sister even$5$ surpassing his expectation, gave her 
307:314,34['  ]| confidence, comfort$0$, and tears of joy. 
307:314,35['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was in$4$ every respect$0$ materially better, and 
307:314,36['  ]| he declared her entirely out$5$ of danger.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, 
307:314,37['  ]| perhaps satisfied with the partial justification of her 
307:314,38['  ]| forebodings which$6#1$ had been found in$4$ their late alarm$0$, 
307:315,01['  ]| allowed herself to$9$ trust$1$ in$4$ his judgment, and admitted 
307:315,02['  ]| with unfeigned joy, and soon with unequivocal cheerfulness, 
307:315,03['  ]| the probability of an entire recovery. 
307:315,04['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could not be cheerful.  Her joy was of a different 
307:315,05['  ]| kind$0$, and led to$4$ anything rather than to$4$ gaiety.  $SS#C$Marianne 
307:315,06['  ]| restored to$9$ life, health, friends, and to$4$ her doating 
307:315,07['  ]| mother, was an idea to$9$ fill her heart with sensations of 
307:315,08['  ]| exquisite comfort$0$, and expand it in$4$ fervent gratitude; ~~ 
307:315,09['  ]| but it led to$4$ no$2$ outward demonstrations of joy, no$2$ words, 
307:315,10['  ]| no$2$ smiles.  All within $SS#A$Elinor's breast was satisfaction, 
307:315,11['  ]| silent and strong. 
307:315,12['  ]| She continued by$4$ the side$0$ of her sister with little 
307:315,13['  ]| intermission the whole$2$ afternoon, calming every fear$0$, 
307:315,14['  ]| satisfying every inquiry of her enfeebled spirits, supplying 
307:315,15['  ]| every succour, and watching almost every look$0$ and 
307:315,16['  ]| every breath.  The possibility of a relapse would of 
307:315,17['  ]| course$8$, in$4$ some moments, occur to$9$ remind her of what 
307:315,18['  ]| anxiety was ~~ but when she saw, on$4$ her frequent and 
307:315,19['  ]| minute$2$ examination, that$3$ every symptom of recovery 
307:315,20['  ]| continued, and saw $SS#C$Marianne at six o'clock sink into a 
307:315,21['  ]| quiet$2$, steady, and to$4$ all appearance comfortable, sleep$0$, 
307:315,22['  ]| she silenced every doubt$0$. 
307:315,23['  ]| The time was now drawing on$5$, when $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
307:315,24['  ]| might be expected back$5$.  At ten o'clock, she trusted, 
307:315,25['  ]| or at least not much later, her mother would be relieved 
307:315,26['  ]| from the dreadful suspense in$4$ which$6#1$ she must now be 
307:315,27['  ]| travelling towards them. 
307:315,27@a   | The $SS#H$Colonel too$5#2$! ~~ perhaps 
307:315,28@a   | scarcely less an object$0$ of pity$0$! ~~ Oh! ~~ how slow was 
307:315,29@a   | the progress of time which$6#1$ yet kept them in$4$ ignorance! 
307:315,30['  ]| At seven o'clock, leaving $SS#C$Marianne still$5$ sweetly asleep, 
307:315,31['  ]| she joined $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings in$4$ the drawing-room to$4$ tea. 
307:315,32['  ]| Of breakfast$0$ she had been kept by$4$ her fears, and of 
307:315,33['  ]| dinner by$4$ their sudden$2$ reverse, from eating much; ~~ 
307:315,34['  ]| and the present$2$ refreshment, therefore, with such 
307:315,35['  ]| feelings of content as she brought to$4$ it, was particularly 
307:315,36['  ]| welcome$2$.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings would have persuaded her at 
307:315,37['  ]| its conclusion to$9$ take some rest$0#2$ before$4$ her mother's 
307:315,38['  ]| arrival, and allow \her\ to$9$ take her place$0$ by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne; 
307:316,01['  ]| but $SS#A$Elinor had no$2$ sense of fatigue$0$, no$2$ capability of sleep$0$ 
307:316,02['  ]| at that$6#2$ moment about$4$ her, and she was not to$9$ be kept 
307:316,03['  ]| away from her sister an unnecessary instant$0$.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
307:316,04['  ]| therefore attending her up*stairs into the sick*chamber, 
307:316,05['  ]| to$9$ satisfy herself that$3$ all continued right$2#1$, left her there 
307:316,06['  ]| again to$4$ her charge$0$ and her thoughts, and retired to$4$ 
307:316,07['  ]| her own$2$ room to$9$ write letters and sleep$1$. 
307:316,08['  ]| The night was cold$2$ and stormy.  The wind roared 
307:316,09['  ]| round$4$ the house, and the rain$0$ beat against the windows; 
307:316,10['  ]| but $SS#A$Elinor, all happiness within, regarded it not.  $SS#C$Marianne 
307:316,11['  ]| slept through$4$ every blast, and the travellers ~~ they had a 
307:316,12['  ]| rich reward$0$ in$4$ store, for$4$ every present$2$ inconvenience. 
307:316,13['  ]| The clock struck eight.  Had it been ten, $SS#A$Elinor would 
307:316,14['  ]| have been convinced that$3$ at that$6#2$ moment she heard 
307:316,15['  ]| a carriage driving up$5$ to$4$ the house; and so$5#1$ strong was 
307:316,16['  ]| the persuasion that$3$ she \did\, in$4$ spite$8$ of the \almost\ impossibility 
307:316,17['  ]| of their being$1$ already come, that$3$ she moved into 
307:316,18['  ]| the adjoining dressing-closet and opened a window-shutter, 
307:316,19['  ]| to$9$ be satisfied of the truth.  She instantly saw 
307:316,20['  ]| that$3$ her ears had not deceived her.  The flaring lamps 
307:316,21['  ]| of a carriage were immediately in$4$ view$0$.  By$4$ their uncertain 
307:316,22['  ]| light$0$ she thought$1$ she could discern it to$9$ be drawn 
307:316,23['  ]| by$4$ four horses; and this, while$3$ it told the excess of her 
307:316,24['  ]| poor mother's alarm$0$, gave some explanation to$4$ such 
307:316,25['  ]| unexpected rapidity. 
307:316,26['  ]| Never in$4$ her life had $SS#A$Elinor found it so$5#1$ difficult to$9$ be 
307:316,27['  ]| calm$2$, as at that$6#2$ moment.  The knowledge of what her 
307:316,28['  ]| mother must be feeling as the carriage stopt at the 
307:316,29['  ]| door, ~~ of her doubt$0$ ~~ her dread$0$ ~~ perhaps her despair$0$! ~~ 
307:316,30['  ]| and of what \she\ had to$9$ tell! ~~ with such knowledge it 
307:316,31['  ]| was impossible to$9$ be calm$2$.  All that$6#1$ remained to$9$ be done, 
307:316,32['  ]| was to$9$ be speedy; and therefore staying only till she 
307:316,33['  ]| could leave$1$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's maid with her sister, she 
307:316,34['  ]| hurried down*stairs. 
307:316,35['  ]| The bustle$0$ in$4$ the vestibule, as she passed along$4$ an 
307:316,36['  ]| inner lobby, assured her that$3$ they were already in$4$ the 
307:316,37['  ]| house.  She rushed forwards towards the drawing-room, 
307:316,38['  ]| ~~ she entered it, ~~ and saw only $SS#R$Willoughby. 
308:317,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, starting back$5$ with a look$0$ of horror at the 
308:317,02['  ]| sight of him, obeyed the first impulse of her heart in$4$ 
308:317,03['  ]| turning instantly to$9$ quit the room, and her hand$0$ was 
308:317,04['  ]| already on$4$ the lock$0$, when its action was suspended by$4$ 
308:317,05['  ]| his hastily advancing, and saying, in$4$ a voice rather of 
308:317,06['  ]| command$0$ than supplication, 
308:317,07[R  ]| "$SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, for$4$ half an hour ~~ for$4$ ten minutes ~~ 
308:317,08[R  ]| I entreat you to$9$ stay$1$." 
308:317,09[A  ]| "No$7$, sir," 
308:317,09['  ]| she replied with firmness, 
308:317,09[A  ]| "I shall \not\ stay$1$. 
308:317,10[A  ]| Your business cannot be with \me\.  The servants, I 
308:317,11[A  ]| suppose, forgot to$9$ tell you that$3$ $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer was not in$4$ 
308:317,12[A  ]| the house." 
308:317,13[R  ]| "Had they told me," 
308:317,13['  ]| he cried with vehemence, 
308:317,13[R  ]| "that$3$ 
308:317,14[R  ]| $SS#N$Mr%*Palmer and all his relations were at the devil, it 
308:317,15[R  ]| would not have turned me from the door.  My business 
308:317,16[R  ]| is with you, and only you." 
308:317,17[A  ]| "With me!" ~~ 
308:317,17['  ]| in$4$ the utmost amazement ~~ 
308:317,17[A  ]| "well$7$, 
308:317,18[A  ]| sir ~~ be quick$2$ ~~ and if you can ~~ less violent." 
308:317,19[R  ]| "Sit down$5$, and I will$1$ be both." 
308:317,20['  ]| She hesitated; she knew not what to$9$ do.  The 
308:317,21['  ]| possibility of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's arriving and finding 
308:317,22['  ]| him there, came across$4$ her.  But she had promised to$9$ 
308:317,23['  ]| hear him, and her curiosity no$2$ less than her honour$0$ was 
308:317,24['  ]| engaged.  After$4$ a moment's recollection, therefore, 
308:317,25['  ]| concluding that$3$ prudence required dispatch, and that$3$ 
308:317,26['  ]| her acquiescence would best promote it, she walked 
308:317,27['  ]| silently towards the table, and sat down$5$.  He took the 
308:317,28['  ]| opposite chair, and for$4$ half a minute$0$ not a word was 
308:317,29['  ]| said by$4$ either. 
308:317,30[A  ]| "Pray be quick$2$, sir" ~~ 
308:317,30['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor impatiently ~~ 
308:317,31[A  ]| "I have no$2$ time to$9$ spare$1$." 
308:317,32['  ]| He was sitting in$4$ an attitude of deep meditation, and 
308:317,33['  ]| seemed not to$9$ hear her. 
308:318,01[R  ]| "Your sister," 
308:318,01['  ]| said he, with abruptness, a moment 
308:318,02['  ]| afterwards ~~ 
308:318,02[R  ]| "is out$5$ of danger.  I heard it from the 
308:318,03[R  ]| servant.  God be praised! ~~ But is it true? ~~ is it really 
308:318,04[R  ]| true?" 
308:318,05['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor would not speak.  He repeated the inquiry 
308:318,06['  ]| with yet greater eagerness. 
308:318,07[R  ]| "For$4$ God's sake tell me, is she out$5$ of danger, or is 
308:318,08[R  ]| she not?" 
308:318,09[A  ]| "We hope$1$ she is." 
308:318,10['  ]| He rose$1$ up$5$, and walked across$4$ the room. 
308:318,11[R  ]| "Had I known as much half an hour ago ~~ But since 
308:318,12[R  ]| I \am\ here" ~~ 
308:318,12['  ]| speaking with a forced vivacity as he 
308:318,13['  ]| returned to$4$ his seat ~~ 
308:318,13[R  ]| "what does it signify? ~~ For$4$ once, 
308:318,14[R  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood ~~ it will$1$ be the last$2$ time, perhaps ~~ let 
308:318,15[R  ]| us be cheerful together. ~~ I am in$4$ a fine mood for$4$ gaiety. 
308:318,16[R  ]| ~~ Tell me honestly" ~~ 
308:318,16['  ]| a deeper glow overspreading his 
308:318,17['  ]| cheeks ~~ 
308:318,17[R  ]| "do you think me most a knave or a fool?" 
308:318,18['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor looked at him with greater astonishment than 
308:318,19['  ]| ever.  She began to$9$ think that$3$ he must be in$4$ liquor; ~~ 
308:318,20['  ]| the strangeness of such a visit$0$, and of such manners, 
308:318,21['  ]| seemed no$2$ otherwise intelligible; and with this impression 
308:318,22['  ]| she immediately rose$1$, saying, 
308:318,23[A  ]| "$SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, I advise you at present$0#1$ to$9$ return$1$ 
308:318,24[A  ]| to$4$ Combe. ~~ I am not at leisure to$9$ remain with you 
308:318,25[A  ]| longer. ~~ Whatever your business may$1$ be with me, it 
308:318,26[A  ]| will$1$ be better recollected and explained to-morrow." 
308:318,27[R  ]| "I understand you," 
308:318,27['  ]| he replied, with an expressive 
308:318,28['  ]| smile$0$, and a voice perfectly calm$2$, 
308:318,28[R  ]| "yes, I am very 
308:318,29[R  ]| drunk. ~~ A pint of porter with my cold$2$ beef at Marlborough 
308:318,30[R  ]| was enough to$9$ over-set me." 
308:318,31[A  ]| "At Marlborough!" ~~ 
308:318,31['  ]| cried $SS#A$Elinor, more and more at 
308:318,32['  ]| a loss to$9$ understand what he would be at. 
308:318,33[R  ]| "Yes ~~ I left London this morning at eight o'clock, 
308:318,34[R  ]| and the only ten minutes I have spent out$5$ of my chaise 
308:318,35[R  ]| since that$6#2$ time, procured me a nuncheon at Marlborough." 
308:318,36['  ]| The steadiness of his manner, and the intelligence 
308:318,37['  ]| of his eye as he spoke, convincing $SS#A$Elinor, that$3$ whatever 
308:318,38['  ]| other unpardonable folly might bring him to$4$ Cleveland, 
308:319,01['  ]| he was not brought there by$4$ intoxication, she said, after$4$ 
308:319,02['  ]| a moment's recollection, 
308:319,03[A  ]| "$SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, you \ought\ to$9$ feel, and I certainly 
308:319,04[A  ]| \do\ ~~ that$3$ after$3$ what has passed ~~ your coming here in$4$ 
308:319,05[A  ]| this manner, and forcing yourself upon$4$ my notice$0$, 
308:319,06[A  ]| requires a very particular excuse$0$. ~~ What is it, that$6#1$ you 
308:319,07[A  ]| mean$1$ by$4$ it?" ~~ 
308:319,08[R  ]| "I mean$1$" ~~ 
308:319,08['  ]| said he, with serious$2$ energy ~~ 
308:319,08[R  ]| "if I can, 
308:319,09[R  ]| to$9$ make$1$ you hate me one degree less than you do \now\. 
308:319,10[R  ]| I mean$1$ to$9$ offer$1$ some kind$0$ of explanation, some kind$0$ of 
308:319,11[R  ]| apology, for$4$ the past$0$; to$9$ open$1$ my whole$2$ heart to$4$ you, 
308:319,12[R  ]| and by$4$ convincing you, that$3$ though I have been always 
308:319,13[R  ]| a blockhead, I have not been always a rascal, to$9$ obtain 
308:319,14[R  ]| something like$4$ forgiveness from $SS#C$Ma ~~ from your sister." 
308:319,15[A  ]| "Is this the real reason$0$ of your coming?" 
308:319,16[R  ]| "Upon$4$ my soul it is," ~~ 
308:319,16['  ]| was his answer$0$, with a warmth 
308:319,17['  ]| which$6#1$ brought all the former $SS#R$Willoughby to$9$ her remembrance, 
308:319,18['  ]| and in$4$ spite$8$ of herself made her think him 
308:319,19['  ]| sincere. 
308:319,20[A  ]| "If that$6#2$ is all, you may$1$ be satisfied already, ~~ for$3$ 
308:319,21[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne \does\ ~~ she has \long\ forgiven you." 
308:319,22[R  ]| "Has she!" ~~ 
308:319,22['  ]| he cried, in$4$ the same eager tone. ~~ 
308:319,23[R  ]| "Then she has forgiven me before$3$ she ought to$9$ have 
308:319,24[R  ]| done it.  But she shall forgive me again, and on$4$ more 
308:319,25[R  ]| reasonable grounds. ~~ \Now\ will$1$ you listen to$4$ me?" 
308:319,26['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor bowed her assent. 
308:319,27[R  ]| "I do not know," 
308:319,27['  ]| said he, after$4$ a pause$0$ of expectation 
308:319,28['  ]| on$4$ her side$0$, and thoughtfulness on$4$ his own$2$, ~~ 
308:319,28[R  ]| "how 
308:319,29[R  ]| \you\ may$1$ have accounted for$4$ my behaviour to$4$ your 
308:319,30[R  ]| sister, or what diabolical motive you may$1$ have imputed 
308:319,31[R  ]| to$4$ me. ~~ Perhaps you will$1$ hardly think the better of me, 
308:319,32[R  ]| ~~ it is worth the trial however, and you shall hear 
308:319,33[R  ]| every*thing.  When I first became intimate$2$ in$4$ your 
308:319,34[R  ]| family, I had no$2$ other intention, no$2$ other view$0$ in$4$ the 
308:319,35[R  ]| acquaintance than to$9$ pass$1$ my time pleasantly while$3$ I 
308:319,36[R  ]| was obliged to$9$ remain in$4$ Devonshire, more pleasantly 
308:319,37[R  ]| than I had ever done before$5$.  Your sister's lovely person 
308:319,38[R  ]| and interesting manners could not but please me; and her 
308:320,01[R  ]| behaviour to$4$ me almost from the first, was of a kind$0$ ~~ 
308:320,02[R  ]| It is astonishing, when I reflect on$4$ what it was, and what 
308:320,03[R  ]| \she\ was, that$3$ my heart should have been so$5#1$ insensible! ~~ 
308:320,04[R  ]| But at first I must confess, my vanity only was elevated 
308:320,05[R  ]| by$4$ it.  Careless of her happiness, thinking only of my own$2$ 
308:320,06[R  ]| amusement, giving way to$4$ feelings which$6#1$ I had always 
308:320,07[R  ]| been too$5#1$ much in$4$ the habit of indulging, I endeavoured, 
308:320,08[R  ]| by$4$ every means$0$ in$4$ my power, to$9$ make$1$ myself pleasing to$4$ 
308:320,09[R  ]| her, without any design$0$ of returning her affection." 
308:320,10['  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood at this point$0$, turning her eyes on$4$ him 
308:320,11['  ]| with the most angry contempt, stopped him, by$4$ saying, 
308:320,12[A  ]| "It is hardly worth*while, $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, for$4$ you 
308:320,13[A  ]| to$9$ relate, or for$4$ me to$9$ listen any longer.  Such a beginning 
308:320,14[A  ]| as this cannot be followed by$4$ any*thing. ~~ Do not 
308:320,15[A  ]| let me be pained by$4$ hearing any*thing more on$4$ the 
308:320,16[A  ]| subject$0$." 
308:320,17[R  ]| "I insist on$4$ your hearing the whole$0$ of it," 
308:320,17['  ]| he replied. 
308:320,18[R  ]| "My fortune was never large, and I had always been 
308:320,19[R  ]| expensive, always in$4$ the habit of associating with people 
308:320,20[R  ]| of better income than myself.  Every year since my 
308:320,21[R  ]| coming of age, or even$5$ before$5$, I believe, had added to$4$ my 
308:320,22[R  ]| debts; and though the death of my old cousin, $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith, 
308:320,23[R  ]| was to$9$ set$1$ me free; yet that$6#2$ event being$1$ uncertain, 
308:320,24[R  ]| and possibly far distant, it had been for$4$ some time my 
308:320,25[R  ]| intention to$9$ re-establish my circumstances by$4$ marrying 
308:320,26[R  ]| a woman of fortune.  To$9$ attach myself to$4$ your sister, 
308:320,27[R  ]| therefore, was not a thing to$9$ be thought$1$ of; ~~ and with 
308:320,28[R  ]| a meanness, selfishness, cruelty ~~ which$6#1$ no$2$ indignant, 
308:320,29[R  ]| no$2$ contemptuous look$0$, even$5$ of yours, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, 
308:320,30[R  ]| can ever reprobate too$5#1$ much ~~ I was acting in$4$ this 
308:320,31[R  ]| manner, trying to$9$ engage her regard$0$, without a thought$0$ 
308:320,32[R  ]| of returning it. ~~ But one thing may$1$ be said for$4$ me, 
308:320,33[R  ]| even$5$ in$4$ that$6#2$ horrid state$0$ of selfish vanity, I did not 
308:320,34[R  ]| know the extent of the injury I meditated, because I 
308:320,35[R  ]| did not \then\ know what it was to$9$ love$1$.  But have I ever 
308:320,36[R  ]| known it? ~~ Well$5$ may$1$ it be doubted; for$3$, had I really 
308:320,37[R  ]| loved, could I have sacrificed my feelings to$4$ vanity, 
308:320,38[R  ]| to$4$ avarice? ~~ or, what is more, could I have sacrificed 
308:321,01[R  ]| her's? ~~ But I have done it.  To$9$ avoid a comparative 
308:321,02[R  ]| poverty, which$6#1$ her affection and her society would 
308:321,03[R  ]| have deprived of all its horrors, I have, by$4$ raising 
308:321,04[R  ]| myself to$4$ affluence, lost every*thing that$6#1$ could make$1$ it 
308:321,05[R  ]| a blessing." 
308:321,06[A  ]| "You did then," 
308:321,06['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, a little softened, 
308:321,06[A  ]| "believe 
308:321,07[A  ]| yourself at one time attached to$4$ her." 
308:321,08[R  ]| "To$9$ have resisted such attractions, to$9$ have withstood 
308:321,09[R  ]| such tenderness! ~~ Is there a man on$4$ earth who$6#1$ could 
308:321,10[R  ]| have done it! ~~ Yes, I found myself, by$4$ insensible 
308:321,11[R  ]| degrees, sincerely fond of her; and the happiest hours 
308:321,12[R  ]| of my life were what I spent with her, when I felt my 
308:321,13[R  ]| intentions were strictly honourable, and my feelings 
308:321,14[R  ]| blameless.  Even$5$ \then\, however, when fully determined 
308:321,15[R  ]| on$4$ paying my addresses to$4$ her, I allowed myself most 
308:321,16[R  ]| improperly to$9$ put off, from day to$4$ day, the moment of 
308:321,17[R  ]| doing it, from an unwillingness to$9$ enter into an engagement 
308:321,18[R  ]| while$3$ my circumstances were so$5#1$ greatly embarrassed. 
308:321,19[R  ]| I will$1$ not reason$1$ here ~~ nor will$1$ I stop$1$ for$4$ \you\ to$9$ expatiate 
308:321,20[R  ]| on$4$ the absurdity, and the worse than absurdity, of 
308:321,21[R  ]| scrupling to$9$ engage my faith where my honour$0$ was 
308:321,22[R  ]| already bound.  The event has proved, that$3$ I was 
308:321,23[R  ]| a cunning fool, providing with great circumspection for$4$ 
308:321,24[R  ]| a possible opportunity of making myself contemptible 
308:321,25[R  ]| and wretched for*ever.  At last$0$, however, my resolution 
308:321,26[R  ]| was taken, and I had determined, as soon as I could 
308:321,27[R  ]| engage her alone, to$9$ justify the attentions I had so$5#1$ 
308:321,28[R  ]| invariably paid her, and openly assure her of an affection 
308:321,29[R  ]| which$6#1$ I had already taken such pains to$9$ display$1$.  But 
308:321,30[R  ]| in$4$ the interim ~~ in$4$ the interim of the very few hours 
308:321,31[R  ]| that$6#1$ were to$9$ pass$1$, before$3$ I could have an opportunity 
308:321,32[R  ]| of speaking with her in$4$ private$0$ ~~ a circumstance occurred 
308:321,33[R  ]| ~~ an unlucky circumstance, to$9$ ruin$1$ all my resolution, and 
308:321,34[R  ]| with it all my comfort$0$.  A discovery took place$0$," ~~ 
308:321,34['  ]| here 
308:321,35['  ]| he hesitated and looked down$5$. ~~ 
308:321,35[R  ]| "$SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith had somehow 
308:321,36[R  ]| or other been informed, I imagine by$4$ some distant 
308:321,37[R  ]| relation, whose$6#1$ interest$0$ it was to$9$ deprive me of her favour$0$, 
308:321,38[R  ]| of an affair, a connection ~~ but I need$1$ not explain myself 
308:322,01[R  ]| farther," 
308:322,01['  ]| he added, looking at her with an heightened 
308:322,02['  ]| colour and an inquiring eye, ~~ 
308:322,02[R  ]| "your particular intimacy 
308:322,03[R  ]| ~~ you have probably heard the whole$2$ story long ago." 
308:322,04[A  ]| "I have," 
308:322,04['  ]| returned $SS#A$Elinor, colouring likewise, and 
308:322,05['  ]| hardening her heart anew against any compassion for$4$ 
308:322,06['  ]| him, 
308:322,06[A  ]| "I have heard it all.  And how you will$1$ explain 
308:322,07[A  ]| away any part$0$ of your guilt in$4$ that$6#2$ dreadful business, 
308:322,08[A  ]| I confess is beyond$4$ my comprehension." 
308:322,09[R  ]| "Remember," 
308:322,09['  ]| cried $SS#R$Willoughby, 
308:322,09[R  ]| "from whom$6#1$ you 
308:322,10[R  ]| received the account$0$.  Could it be an impartial one? 
308:322,11[R  ]| I acknowledge that$3$ her situation and her character 
308:322,12[R  ]| ought to$9$ have been respected by$4$ me.  I do not mean$1$ to$9$ 
308:322,13[R  ]| justify myself, but at the same time cannot leave$1$ you 
308:322,14[R  ]| to$9$ suppose that$3$ I have nothing to$9$ urge ~~ that$3$ because 
308:322,15[R  ]| she was injured she was irreproachable, and because 
308:322,16[R  ]| \I\ was a libertine, \she\ must be a saint.  If the violence 
308:322,17[R  ]| of her passions, the weakness of her understanding ~~ 
308:322,18[R  ]| I do not mean$1$, however, to$9$ defend myself.  Her affection 
308:322,19[R  ]| for$4$ me deserved better treatment, and I often, with 
308:322,20[R  ]| great self-reproach, recal$0$ the tenderness which$6#1$, for$4$ a very 
308:322,21[R  ]| short time, had the power of creating any return$0$.  I 
308:322,22[R  ]| wish$1$ ~~ I heartily wish$1$ it had never been.  But I have 
308:322,23[R  ]| injured more than herself; and I have injured one, 
308:322,24[R  ]| whose$6#1$ affection for$4$ me ~~ (may$1$ I say it?) was scarcely 
308:322,25[R  ]| less warm$2$ than her's; and whose$6#1$ mind$0$ ~~ Oh! how 
308:322,26[R  ]| infinitely superior!" ~~ 
308:322,27[A  ]| "Your indifference, however, towards that$6#2$ unfortunate 
308:322,28[A  ]| girl ~~ I must say it, unpleasant to$4$ me as the discussion 
308:322,29[A  ]| of such a subject$0$ may$1$ well$5$ be ~~ your indifference 
308:322,30[A  ]| is no$2$ apology for$4$ your cruel neglect$0$ of her.  Do not 
308:322,31[A  ]| think yourself excused by$4$ any weakness, any natural$2$ 
308:322,32[A  ]| defect of understanding on$4$ her side$0$, in$4$ the wanton 
308:322,33[A  ]| cruelty so$5#1$ evident on$4$ yours.  You must have known, 
308:322,34[A  ]| that$3$ while$3$ you were enjoying yourself in$4$ Devonshire, 
308:322,35[A  ]| pursuing fresh schemes, always gay, always happy, she 
308:322,36[A  ]| was reduced to$4$ the extremest indigence." 
308:322,37[R  ]| "But, upon$4$ my soul, I did \not\ know it," 
308:322,37['  ]| he warmly 
308:322,38['  ]| replied; 
308:322,38[R  ]| "I did not recollect that$3$ I had omitted to$9$ give 
308:323,01[R  ]| her my direction; and common$2$ sense might have told 
308:323,02[R  ]| her how to$9$ find it out$5$." 
308:323,03[A  ]| "Well$7$, sir, and what said $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith?" 
308:323,04[R  ]| "She taxed me with the offence at once, and my 
308:323,05[R  ]| confusion may$1$ be guessed.  The purity of her life, the 
308:323,06[R  ]| formality of her notions, her ignorance of the world ~~ 
308:323,07[R  ]| every*thing was against me.  The matter itself I could 
308:323,08[R  ]| not deny, and vain was every endeavour$0$ to$9$ soften it. 
308:323,09[R  ]| She was previously disposed, I believe, to$9$ doubt$1$ the 
308:323,10[R  ]| morality of my conduct$0$ in$4$ general$0$, and was moreover 
308:323,11[R  ]| discontented with the very little attention, the very 
308:323,12[R  ]| little portion of my time that$6#1$ I had bestowed on$4$ her, 
308:323,13[R  ]| in$4$ my present$2$ visit$0$.  In$4$ short, it ended in$4$ a total breach. 
308:323,14[R  ]| By$4$ one measure$0$ I might have saved myself.  In$4$ the 
308:323,15[R  ]| height of her morality, good woman! she offered to$9$ 
308:323,16[R  ]| forgive the past$0$, if I would marry $SS#ZC$Eliza.  That$6#2$ could not 
308:323,17[R  ]| be ~~ and I was formally dismissed from her favour$0$ and 
308:323,18[R  ]| her house.  The night following this affair ~~ I was to$9$ go 
308:323,19[R  ]| the next morning ~~ was spent by$4$ me in$4$ deliberating on$4$ 
308:323,20[R  ]| what my future conduct$0$ should be.  The struggle$0$ was 
308:323,21[R  ]| great ~~ but it ended too$5#1$ soon.  My affection for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, 
308:323,22[R  ]| my thorough conviction of her attachment to$4$ me ~~ it 
308:323,23[R  ]| was all insufficient to$9$ outweigh that$6#2$ dread$0$ of poverty, 
308:323,24[R  ]| or get the better of those false ideas of the necessity 
308:323,25[R  ]| of riches, which$6#1$ I was naturally inclined to$9$ feel, and 
308:323,26[R  ]| expensive society had increased.  I had reason$0$ to$9$ believe 
308:323,27[R  ]| myself secure$2$ of my present$2$ wife, if I chose to$9$ address$1$ 
308:323,28[R  ]| her, and I persuaded myself to$9$ think that$3$ nothing else 
308:323,29[R  ]| in$4$ common$2$ prudence remained for$4$ me to$9$ do.  An heavy 
308:323,30[R  ]| scene however awaited me, before$3$ I could leave$1$ Devonshire; 
308:323,31[R  ]| ~~ I was engaged to$9$ dine with you on$4$ that$6#2$ very 
308:323,32[R  ]| day; some apology was therefore necessary for$4$ my 
308:323,33[R  ]| breaking the engagement.  But whether I should write 
308:323,34[R  ]| this apology, or deliver it in$4$ person, was a point$0$ of long 
308:323,35[R  ]| debate.  To$9$ see $SS#C$Marianne, I felt would be dreadful, and 
308:323,36[R  ]| I even$5$ doubted whether I could see her again, and keep 
308:323,37[R  ]| to$4$ my resolution.  In$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$, however, I undervalued 
308:323,38[R  ]| my own$2$ magnanimity, as the event declared; for$3$ I went, 
308:324,01[R  ]| I saw her, and saw her miserable, and left her miserable 
308:324,02[R  ]| ~~ and left her hoping never to$9$ see her again." 
308:324,03[A  ]| "Why did you call$1$, $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby?" 
308:324,03['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
308:324,04['  ]| reproachfully; 
308:324,04[A  ]| "a note$0$ would have answered every 
308:324,05[A  ]| purpose. ~~ Why was it necessary to$9$ call$1$?" 
308:324,06[R  ]| "It was necessary to$4$ my own$2$ pride.  I could not bear$1$ 
308:324,07[R  ]| to$9$ leave$1$ the country in$4$ a manner that$6#1$ might lead$1$ you, 
308:324,08[R  ]| or the rest$0#1$ of the neighbourhood, to$9$ suspect any part$0$ 
308:324,09[R  ]| of what had really passed between $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith and 
308:324,10[R  ]| myself ~~ and I resolved therefore on$4$ calling at the cottage, 
308:324,11[R  ]| in$4$ my way to$4$ Honiton.  The sight of your dear$2#1$ sister, 
308:324,12[R  ]| however, was really dreadful; and to$9$ heighten the 
308:324,13[R  ]| matter, I found her alone.  You were all gone I do not 
308:324,14[R  ]| know where.  I had left her only the evening before$5$, so$5#1$ 
308:324,15[R  ]| fully, so$5#1$ firmly resolved within myself on$4$ doing right$2#1$! 
308:324,16[R  ]| A few hours were to$9$ have engaged her to$4$ me for*ever; 
308:324,17[R  ]| and I remember how happy, how gay were my spirits, 
308:324,18[R  ]| as I walked from the cottage to$4$ Allenham, satisfied with 
308:324,19[R  ]| myself, delighted with every*body!  But in$4$ this, our last$2$ 
308:324,20[R  ]| interview of friendship, I approached her with a sense 
308:324,21[R  ]| of guilt that$6#1$ almost took from me the power of dissembling. 
308:324,22[R  ]| Her sorrow, her disappointment, her deep regret$0$, 
308:324,23[R  ]| when I told her that$3$ I was obliged to$9$ leave$1$ Devonshire 
308:324,24[R  ]| so$5#1$ immediately ~~ I never shall forget it ~~ united too$5#2$ with 
308:324,25[R  ]| such reliance, such confidence in$4$ me! ~~ Oh, God! ~~ what 
308:324,26[R  ]| an hard-hearted rascal I was!" 
308:324,27['  ]| They were both silent for$4$ a few moments.  $SS#A$Elinor 
308:324,28['  ]| first spoke. 
308:324,29[A  ]| "Did you tell her that$3$ you should soon return$1$?" 
308:324,30[R  ]| "I do not know what I told her," 
308:324,30['  ]| he replied, impatiently; 
308:324,31[R  ]| "less than was due$2$ to$4$ the past$0$, beyond$4$ a 
308:324,32[R  ]| doubt$0$, and in$4$ all likelihood much more than was justified 
308:324,33[R  ]| by$4$ the future.  I cannot think of it. ~~ It won't do. ~~ Then 
308:324,34[R  ]| came your dear$2#1$ mother to$9$ torture me farther, with all 
308:324,35[R  ]| her kindness and confidence.  Thank Heaven! it \did\ 
308:324,36[R  ]| torture me.  I was miserable.  $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, you 
308:324,37[R  ]| cannot have an idea of the comfort$0$ it gives me to$9$ look$1$ 
308:324,38[R  ]| back$5$ on$4$ my own$2$ misery.  I owe such a grudge to$4$ myself 
308:325,01[R  ]| for$4$ the stupid, rascally folly of my own$2$ heart, that$3$ all 
308:325,02[R  ]| my past$2$ sufferings under it are only triumph$0$ and exultation 
308:325,03[R  ]| to$4$ me now.  Well$7$, I went, left all that$6#1$ I loved, and 
308:325,04[R  ]| went to$4$ those to$4$ whom$6#1$, at best, I was only indifferent. 
308:325,05[R  ]| My journey to$4$ town ~~ travelling with my own$2$ horses, 
308:325,06[R  ]| and therefore so$5#1$ tediously ~~ no$2$ creature to$9$ speak to$4$ ~~ my 
308:325,07[R  ]| own$2$ reflections so$5#1$ cheerful ~~ when I looked forward$5$ everything 
308:325,08[R  ]| so$5#1$ inviting! ~~ when I looked back$5$ at Barton, the 
308:325,09[R  ]| picture$0$ so$5#1$ soothing! ~~ oh! it was a blessed journey!" 
308:325,10['  ]| He stopt. 
308:325,11[A  ]| "Well$7$, sir," 
308:325,11['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$, though pitying him, 
308:325,12['  ]| grew impatient for$4$ his departure, 
308:325,12[A  ]| "and this is all?" 
308:325,13[R  ]| "All! ~~ no$7$, ~~ have you forgot what passed in$4$ town? 
308:325,14[R  ]| ~~ That$6#2$ infamous letter ~~ Did she shew$1$ it you?" 
308:325,15[A  ]| "Yes, I saw every note$0$ that$6#1$ passed." 
308:325,16[R  ]| "When the first of her's reached me, (as it immediately 
308:325,17[R  ]| did, for$3$ I was in$4$ town the whole$2$ time,) what I felt is ~~ 
308:325,18[R  ]| in$4$ the common$2$ phrase, not to$9$ be expressed; in$4$ a more 
308:325,19[R  ]| simple$2$ one ~~ perhaps too$5#1$ simple$2$ to$9$ raise any emotion ~~ 
308:325,20[R  ]| my feelings were very, very painful. ~~ Every line, every 
308:325,21[R  ]| word was ~~ in$4$ the hackneyed metaphor which$6#1$ their dear$2#1$ 
308:325,22[R  ]| writer, were she here, would forbid ~~ a dagger to$4$ my 
308:325,23[R  ]| heart.  To$9$ know that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne was in$4$ town was ~~ in$4$ 
308:325,24[R  ]| the same language ~~ a thunderbolt. ~~ Thunderbolts and 
308:325,25[R  ]| daggers! ~~ what a reproof would she have given 
308:325,26[R  ]| me! ~~ her taste, her opinions ~~ I believe they are better 
308:325,27[R  ]| known to$4$ me than my own$2$, ~~ and I am sure they are 
308:325,28[R  ]| dearer." 
308:325,29['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's heart, which$6#1$ had undergone many changes$0$ 
308:325,30['  ]| in$4$ the course$0$ of this extraordinary conversation, was 
308:325,31['  ]| now softened again; ~~ yet she felt it her duty to$9$ check$1$ 
308:325,32['  ]| such ideas in$4$ her companion as the last$0$. 
308:325,33[A  ]| "This is not right$2#1$, $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby. ~~ Remember that$3$ 
308:325,34[A  ]| you are married.  Relate only what in$4$ your conscience 
308:325,35[A  ]| you think necessary for$4$ me to$9$ hear." 
308:325,36[R  ]| "$SS#C$Marianne's note$0$, by$4$ assuring me that$3$ I was still$5$ as 
308:325,37[R  ]| dear$2#1$ to$4$ her as in$4$ former days, that$3$ in$4$ spite$8$ of the many, 
308:325,38[R  ]| many weeks we had been separated, she was as constant 
308:326,01[R  ]| in$4$ her own$2$ feelings, and as full of faith in$4$ the constancy 
308:326,02[R  ]| of mine$6$ as ever, awakened all my remorse.  I say 
308:326,03[R  ]| awakened, because time and London, business and 
308:326,04[R  ]| dissipation, had in$4$ some measure$0$ quieted it, and I had 
308:326,05[R  ]| been growing a fine hardened villain, fancying myself 
308:326,06[R  ]| indifferent to$4$ her, and chusing to$9$ fancy$1$ that$3$ she too$5#2$ 
308:326,07[R  ]| must have become indifferent to$4$ me; talking to$4$ myself 
308:326,08[R  ]| of our past$2$ attachment as a mere idle, trifling, business, 
308:326,09[R  ]| shrugging up$5$ my shoulders in$4$ proof of its being$1$ so$5#2$, and 
308:326,10[R  ]| silencing every reproach$0$, overcoming every scruple$0$, by$4$ 
308:326,11[R  ]| secretly saying now and then, ""I shall be heartily glad 
308:326,12[R  ]| to$9$ hear she is well$5$ married."" ~~ But this note$0$ made me 
308:326,13[R  ]| know myself better.  I felt that$3$ she was infinitely dearer 
308:326,14[R  ]| to$4$ me than any other woman in$4$ the world, and that$3$ I was 
308:326,15[R  ]| using her infamously.  But everything was then just$5$ 
308:326,16[R  ]| settled between $SS#ZR$Miss*Grey and me.  To$9$ retreat$1$ was impossible. 
308:326,17[R  ]| All that$6#1$ I had to$9$ do, was to$9$ avoid you both. 
308:326,18[R  ]| I sent no$2$ answer$0$ to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, intending by$4$ that$6#2$ means$0$ 
308:326,19[R  ]| to$9$ preserve myself from her farther notice$0$; and for$4$ 
308:326,20[R  ]| some time I was even$5$ determined not to$9$ call$1$ in$4$ Berkeley-street; 
308:326,21[R  ]| ~~ but at last$0$, judging it wiser to$9$ affect the air of 
308:326,22[R  ]| a cool$2$, common$2$ acquaintance than anything else, I 
308:326,23[R  ]| watched you all safely out$5$ of the house one morning, and 
308:326,24[R  ]| left my name$0$." 
308:326,25[A  ]| "Watched us out$5$ of the house!" 
308:326,26[R  ]| "Even$5$ so$5#2$.  You would be surprised to$9$ hear how often 
308:326,27[R  ]| I watched you, how often I was on$4$ the point$0$ of falling 
308:326,28[R  ]| in$5$ with you.  I have entered many a shop to$9$ avoid your 
308:326,29[R  ]| sight, as the carriage drove by$5$.  Lodging as I did in$4$ 
308:326,30[R  ]| Bond-street, there was hardly a day in$4$ which$6#1$ I did not 
308:326,31[R  ]| catch$1$ a glimpse of one or other of you; and nothing 
308:326,32[R  ]| but the most constant watchfulness on$4$ my side$0$, a most 
308:326,33[R  ]| invariably prevailing desire$0$ to$9$ keep out$5$ of your sight, 
308:326,34[R  ]| could have separated us so$5#1$ long.  I avoided the $SS#L1$Middletons 
308:326,35[R  ]| as much as possible, as well$5$ as everybody else who$6#1$ 
308:326,36[R  ]| was likely to$9$ prove an acquaintance in$4$ common$0$.  Not 
308:326,37[R  ]| aware of their being$1$ in$4$ town, however, I blundered on$5$ 
308:326,38[R  ]| $SS#L$Sir*John, I believe, the first day of his coming, and the 
308:327,01[R  ]| day after$3$ I had called at $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's.  He asked me to$4$ 
308:327,02[R  ]| a party, a dance$0$ at his house in$4$ the evening. ~~ Had he 
308:327,03[R  ]| \not\ told me as an inducement that$3$ you and your sister 
308:327,04[R  ]| were to$9$ be there, I should have felt it too$5#1$ certain a thing, 
308:327,05[R  ]| to$9$ trust$1$ myself near$4$ him.  The next morning brought 
308:327,06[R  ]| another short note$0$ from $SS#C$Marianne ~~ still$5$ affectionate, 
308:327,07[R  ]| open$2$, artless, confiding ~~ everything that$6#1$ could make$1$ 
308:327,08[R  ]| \my\ conduct$0$ most hateful.  I could not answer$1$ it.  I tried 
308:327,09[R  ]| ~~ but could not frame a sentence.  But I thought$1$ of her, 
308:327,10[R  ]| I believe, every moment of the day.  If you \can\ pity$1$ me, 
308:327,11[R  ]| $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, pity$1$ my situation as it was \then\.  With 
308:327,12[R  ]| my head$0$ and heart full of your sister, I was forced to$9$ play$1$ 
308:327,13[R  ]| the happy lover to$4$ another woman! ~~ Those three or 
308:327,14[R  ]| four weeks were worse than all.  Well$7$, at last$0$, as I need$1$ 
308:327,15[R  ]| not tell you, you were forced on$4$ me; and what a sweet 
308:327,16[R  ]| figure I cut$1$! ~~ what an evening of agony it was! ~~ 
308:327,17[R  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, beautiful as an angel on$4$ one side$0$, calling me 
308:327,18[R  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby in$4$ such a tone! ~~ Oh! God! ~~ holding out$5$ 
308:327,19[R  ]| her hand$0$ to$4$ me, asking me for$4$ an explanation with those 
308:327,20[R  ]| bewitching eyes fixed in$4$ such speaking solicitude on$4$ my 
308:327,21[R  ]| face$0$! ~~ and $SS#ZR$Sophia, jealous as the devil on$4$ the other 
308:327,22[R  ]| hand$0$, looking all that$6#1$ was ~~ Well$7$, it does not signify; 
308:327,23[R  ]| it is over now.  ~~ Such an evening! ~~ I ran away from 
308:327,24[R  ]| you all as soon as I could; but not before$3$ I had seen 
308:327,25[R  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's sweet face$0$ as white as death. ~~ \That$6#2$\ was the 
308:327,26[R  ]| last$2$, last$2$ look$0$ I ever had of her; ~~ the last$2$ manner in$4$ 
308:327,27[R  ]| which$6#1$ she appeared to$4$ me.  It was a horrid sight! ~~ 
308:327,28[R  ]| Yet when I thought$1$ of her to-day as really dying, it was 
308:327,29[R  ]| a kind$0$ of comfort$0$ to$4$ me to$9$ imagine that$3$ I knew exactly 
308:327,30[R  ]| how she would appear to$4$ those, who$6#1$ saw her last$2$ in$4$ this 
308:327,31[R  ]| world.  She was before$4$ me, constantly before$4$ me, as 
308:327,32[R  ]| I travelled, in$4$ the same look$0$ and hue." 
308:327,33['  ]| A short pause$0$ of mutual thoughtfulness succeeded. 
308:327,34['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby first rousing himself, broke it thus: 
308:327,35[R  ]| "Well$7$, let me make$1$ haste and be gone.  Your sister 
308:327,36[R  ]| is certainly better, certainly out$5$ of danger?" 
308:327,37[A  ]| "We are assured of it." 
308:327,38[R  ]| "Your poor mother too$5#2$! ~~ doting on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne." 
308:328,01[A  ]| "But the letter, $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, your own$2$ letter; 
308:328,02[A  ]| have you anything to$9$ say about$4$ that$6#2$?" 
308:328,03[R  ]| "Yes, yes, \that$6#2$\ in$4$ particular.  Your sister wrote to$4$ 
308:328,04[R  ]| me again, you know, the very next morning.  You saw 
308:328,05[R  ]| what she said.  I was breakfasting at the $SS#ZM$Ellisons, ~~ and 
308:328,06[R  ]| her letter, with some others, was brought to$4$ me there 
308:328,07[R  ]| from my lodgings.  It happened to$9$ catch$1$ $SS#ZR$Sophia's eye 
308:328,08[R  ]| before$3$ it caught mine$6$ ~~ and its size, the elegance of the 
308:328,09[R  ]| paper, the hand-writing altogether, immediately gave 
308:328,10[R  ]| her a suspicion.  Some vague report$0$ had reached her 
308:328,11[R  ]| before$5$ of my attachment to$4$ some young lady in$4$ Devonshire, 
308:328,12[R  ]| and what had passed within her observation the 
308:328,13[R  ]| preceding evening had marked who$6#1$ the young lady 
308:328,14[R  ]| was, and made her more jealous than ever.  Affecting 
308:328,15[R  ]| that$6#2$ air of playfulness, therefore, which$6#1$ is delightful in$4$ 
308:328,16[R  ]| a woman one loves, she opened the letter directly, and 
308:328,17[R  ]| read its contents.  She was well$5$ paid for$4$ her impudence. 
308:328,18[R  ]| She read what made her wretched.  Her wretchedness 
308:328,19[R  ]| I could have borne, but her passion ~~ her malice ~~ At 
308:328,20[R  ]| all events it must be appeased.  And in$4$ short ~~ what do 
308:328,21[R  ]| you think of my wife's style of letter-writing? ~~ delicate 
308:328,22[R  ]| ~~ tender$2$ ~~ truly feminine ~~ was it not?" 
308:328,23[A  ]| "Your wife! ~~ The letter was in$4$ your own$2$ hand-writing." 
308:328,24[A  ]| 
308:328,25[R  ]| "Yes, but I had only the credit$0$ of servilely copying such 
308:328,26[R  ]| sentences as I was ashamed to$9$ put my name$0$ to$4$.  The 
308:328,27[R  ]| original was all her own$2$ ~~ her own$2$ happy thoughts and 
308:328,28[R  ]| gentle diction.  But what could I do? ~~ we were engaged, 
308:328,29[R  ]| every*thing in$4$ preparation, the day almost fixed ~~ But I 
308:328,30[R  ]| am talking like$4$ a fool.  Preparation! ~~ day! ~~ In$4$ honest 
308:328,31[R  ]| words, her money was necessary to$4$ me, and in$4$ a situation 
308:328,32[R  ]| like$4$ mine$6$, any*thing was to$9$ be done to$9$ prevent a rupture. 
308:328,33[R  ]| And after$4$ all, what did it signify to$4$ my character in$4$ the 
308:328,34[R  ]| opinion of $SS#C$Marianne and her friends, in$4$ what language 
308:328,35[R  ]| my answer$0$ was couched? ~~ It must have been only to$4$ one 
308:328,36[R  ]| end$0$.  My business was to$9$ declare myself a scoundrel, and 
308:328,37[R  ]| whether I did it with a bow$0#1$ or a bluster was of little 
308:328,38[R  ]| importance. ~~ ""I am ruined for*ever in$4$ their opinion ~~ 
308:329,01[R  ]| said I to$4$ myself ~~ I am shut out$5$ for*ever from their 
308:329,02[R  ]| society, they already think me an unprincipled fellow, 
308:329,03[R  ]| this letter will$1$ only make$1$ them think me a blackguard 
308:329,04[R  ]| one."" Such were my reasonings, as, in$4$ a sort of desperate 
308:329,05[R  ]| carelessness, I copied my wife's words, and parted with 
308:329,06[R  ]| the last$2$ relics of $SS#C$Marianne.  Her three notes ~~ unluckily 
308:329,07[R  ]| they were all in$4$ my pocket-book, or I should have denied 
308:329,08[R  ]| their existence, and hoarded them for*ever ~~ I was forced 
308:329,09[R  ]| to$9$ put them up$5$, and could not even$5$ kiss$1$ them.  And 
308:329,10[R  ]| the lock$0$ of hair ~~ that$6#2$ too$5#2$ I had always carried about$4$ 
308:329,11[R  ]| me in$4$ the same pocket-book, which$6#1$ was now searched 
308:329,12[R  ]| by$4$ Madam with the most ingratiating virulence, ~~ the 
308:329,13[R  ]| dear$2#1$ lock$0$ ~~ all, every memento was torn from me." 
308:329,14[A  ]| "You are very wrong, $SS#R$Mr%*Willoughby, very blameable," 
308:329,15['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, while$3$ her voice, in$4$ spite$8$ of herself, 
308:329,16['  ]| betrayed her compassionate emotion; 
308:329,16[A  ]| "you ought not 
308:329,17[A  ]| to$9$ speak in$4$ this way, either of $SS#ZR$Mrs%*Willoughby or my 
308:329,18[A  ]| sister.  You have made your own$2$ choice$0$.  It was not 
308:329,19[A  ]| forced on$4$ you.  Your wife has a claim$0$ to$4$ your politeness, 
308:329,20[A  ]| to$4$ your respect$0$, at least.  She must be attached to$4$ you, 
308:329,21[A  ]| or she would not have married you.  To$9$ treat$1$ her with 
308:329,22[A  ]| unkindness, to$9$ speak of her slightingly is no$2$ atonement 
308:329,23[A  ]| to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne ~~ nor can I suppose it a relief to$4$ your own$2$ 
308:329,24[A  ]| conscience." 
308:329,25[R  ]| "Do not talk$1$ to$4$ me of my wife," 
308:329,25['  ]| said he with an 
308:329,26['  ]| heavy sigh$0$. ~~ 
308:329,26[R  ]| "She does not deserve your compassion. ~~ 
308:329,27[R  ]| She knew I had no$2$ regard$0$ for$4$ her when we married. ~~ 
308:329,28[R  ]| Well$7$, married we were, and came down$5$ to$4$ Combe*Magna 
308:329,29[R  ]| to$9$ be happy, and afterwards returned to$4$ town 
308:329,30[R  ]| to$9$ be gay. ~~ And now do you pity$1$ me, $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood? 
308:329,31[R  ]| ~~ or have I said all this to$4$ no$2$ purpose? ~~ Am I ~~ 
308:329,32[R  ]| be it only one degree ~~ am I less guilty in$4$ your 
308:329,33[R  ]| opinion than I was before$5$? ~~ My intentions were not 
308:329,34[R  ]| always wrong.  Have I explained away any part$0$ of my 
308:329,35[R  ]| guilt?" 
308:329,36[A  ]| "Yes, you have certainly removed something ~~ a little. 
308:329,37[A  ]| ~~ You have proved yourself, on$4$ the whole$0$, less faulty 
308:329,38[A  ]| than I had believed you.  You have proved your heart 
308:330,01[A  ]| less wicked, much less wicked.  But I hardly know ~~ 
308:330,02[A  ]| the misery that$6#1$ you have inflicted ~~ I hardly know what 
308:330,03[A  ]| could have made it worse." 
308:330,04[R  ]| "Will$1$ you repeat to$4$ your sister when she is recovered, 
308:330,05[R  ]| what I have been telling you? ~~ Let me be a little 
308:330,06[R  ]| lightened too$5#2$ in$4$ her opinion as well$5$ as in$4$ yours.  You 
308:330,07[R  ]| tell me that$3$ she has forgiven me already.  Let me be 
308:330,08[R  ]| able to$9$ fancy$1$ that$3$ a better knowledge of my heart, and 
308:330,09[R  ]| of my present$2$ feelings, will$1$ draw from her a more spontaneous, 
308:330,10[R  ]| more natural$2$, more gentle, less dignified, forgiveness. 
308:330,11[R  ]| Tell her of my misery and my penitence ~~ tell her 
308:330,12[R  ]| that$3$ my heart was never inconstant to$4$ her, and if you 
308:330,13[R  ]| will$1$, that$3$ at this moment she is dearer to$4$ me than ever." 
308:330,14[A  ]| "I will$1$ tell her all that$6#1$ is necessary to$4$ what may$1$ 
308:330,15[A  ]| comparatively be called, your justification.  But you 
308:330,16[A  ]| have not explained to$4$ me the particular reason$0$ of your 
308:330,17[A  ]| coming now, nor how you heard of her illness." 
308:330,18[R  ]| "Last$2$ night, in$4$ Drury-lane lobby, I ran against $SS#L$Sir*John*Middleton, 
308:330,19[R  ]| and when he saw who$6#1$ I was ~~ for$4$ the 
308:330,20[R  ]| first time these two months ~~ he spoke to$4$ me. ~~ That$3$ he 
308:330,21[R  ]| had cut$1$ me ever since my marriage, I had seen without 
308:330,22[R  ]| surprise$0$ or resentment.  Now, however, his good-natured, 
308:330,23[R  ]| honest, stupid soul, full of indignation against 
308:330,24[R  ]| me, and concern$0$ for$4$ your sister, could not resist the 
308:330,25[R  ]| temptation of telling me what he knew ought to$9$ ~~ though 
308:330,26[R  ]| probably he did not think it \would\ ~~ vex me horridly. ~~ 
308:330,27[R  ]| As bluntly as he could speak it, therefore, he told me that$3$ 
308:330,28[R  ]| $SS#C$Marianne*Dashwood was dying of a putrid fever at Cleveland ~~ 
308:330,29[R  ]| a letter that$6#2$ morning received from $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
308:330,30[R  ]| declared her danger most imminent ~~ the $SS#N1$Palmers all 
308:330,31[R  ]| gone off in$4$ a fright, &c% ~~ I was too$5#1$ much shocked to$9$ 
308:330,32[R  ]| be able to$9$ pass$1$ myself off as insensible even$5$ to$4$ the 
308:330,33[R  ]| undiscerning $SS#L$Sir*John.  His heart was softened in$4$ seeing 
308:330,34[R  ]| mine$6$ suffer; and so$5#1$ much of his ill-will was done away, 
308:330,35[R  ]| that$3$ when we parted, he almost shook me by$4$ the hand$0$ 
308:330,36[R  ]| while$3$ he reminded me of an old promise$0$ about$4$ a pointer 
308:330,37[R  ]| puppy.  What I felt on$4$ hearing that$3$ your sister was 
308:330,38[R  ]| dying ~~ and dying too$5#2$, believing me the greatest villain 
308:331,01[R  ]| upon$4$ earth, scorning, hating me in$4$ her latest moments ~~ 
308:331,02[R  ]| for$3$ how could I tell what horrid projects might not have 
308:331,03[R  ]| been imputed?  \One\ person I was sure would represent 
308:331,04[R  ]| me as capable of anything ~~ what I felt was dreadful! ~~ 
308:331,05[R  ]| My resolution was soon made, and at eight o'clock 
308:331,06[R  ]| this morning I was in$4$ my carriage.  Now you know 
308:331,07[R  ]| all." 
308:331,08['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor made no$2$ answer$0$.  Her thoughts were silently 
308:331,09['  ]| fixed on$4$ 
308:331,09@a   | the irreparable injury which$6#1$ too$5#1$ early an independence 
308:331,10@a   | and its consequent habits of idleness, dissipation, 
308:331,11@a   | and luxury, had made in$4$ the mind$0$, the character, 
308:331,12@a   | the happiness, of a man who$6#1$, to$4$ every advantage of 
308:331,13@a   | person and talents, united a disposition naturally open$2$ 
308:331,14@a   | and honest, and a feeling, affectionate temper.  The 
308:331,15@a   | world had made him extravagant and vain ~~ Extravagance 
308:331,16@a   | and vanity had made him cold-hearted and selfish. 
308:331,17@a   | Vanity, while$4$ seeking its own$2$ guilty triumph$0$ at the 
308:331,18@a   | expense of another, had involved him in$4$ a real attachment, 
308:331,19@a   | which$6#1$ extravagance, or at least its offspring, necessity, 
308:331,20@a   | had required to$9$ be sacrificed.  Each faulty propensity 
308:331,21@a   | in$4$ leading him to$4$ evil, had led him likewise to$4$ punishment. 
308:331,22@a   | The attachment, from which$6#1$ against honour$0$, 
308:331,23@a   | against feeling, against every better interest$0$ he had 
308:331,24@a   | outwardly torn himself, now, when no$2$ longer allowable, 
308:331,25@a   | governed every thought$0$; and the connection, for$4$ the sake 
308:331,26@a   | of which$6#1$ he had, with little scruple$0$, left her sister to$4$ misery, 
308:331,27@a   | was likely to$9$ prove a source of unhappiness to$4$ himself of a 
308:331,28@a   | far more incurable nature. 
308:331,28['  ]| From a reverie of this kind$0$ she 
308:331,29['  ]| was recalled at the end$0$ of some minutes by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, 
308:331,30['  ]| who$6#1$, rousing himself from a reverie at least equally 
308:331,31['  ]| painful, started up$5$ in$4$ preparation for$4$ going, and said, 
308:331,32[R  ]| "There is no$2$ use$0$ in$4$ staying here; I must be off." 
308:331,33[A  ]| "Are you going back$5$ to$4$ town?" 
308:331,34[R  ]| "No$7$ ~~ to$4$ Combe*Magna.  I have business there; 
308:331,35[R  ]| from thence to$4$ town in$4$ a day or two.  Good*bye." 
308:331,36['  ]| He held out$5$ his hand$0$.  She could not refuse to$9$ give 
308:331,37['  ]| him her's; ~~ he pressed it with affection. 
308:331,38[R  ]| "And you \do\ think something better of me than you 
308:332,01[R  ]| did?" ~~ 
308:332,01['  ]| said he, letting it fall$1$, and leaning against the 
308:332,02['  ]| mantle-piece as if forgetting he was to$9$ go. 
308:332,03['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor assured him that$3$ she did; ~~ that$3$ she forgave, 
308:332,04['  ]| pitied, wished him well$5$ ~~ was even$5$ interested in$4$ his 
308:332,05['  ]| happiness ~~ and added some gentle counsel$0$ as to$4$ the 
308:332,06['  ]| behaviour most likely to$9$ promote it.  His answer$0$ was 
308:332,07['  ]| not very encouraging. 
308:332,08[R  ]| "As to$4$ that$6#2$," 
308:332,08['  ]| said he, 
308:332,08[R  ]| "I must rub through$4$ the world 
308:332,09[R  ]| as well$5$ as I can.  Domestic$2$ happiness is out$5$ of the 
308:332,10[R  ]| question$0$.  If, however, I am allowed to$9$ think that$3$ you 
308:332,11[R  ]| and yours feel an interest$0$ in$4$ my fate and actions, it may$1$ 
308:332,12[R  ]| be the means$0$ ~~ it may$1$ put me on$4$ my guard$0$ ~~ at least, it 
308:332,13[R  ]| will$1$ be something to$9$ live for$4$.  $SS#C$Marianne to$9$ be sure is 
308:332,14[R  ]| lost to$4$ me for*ever.  Were I even$5$ by$4$ any blessed chance$0$ 
308:332,15[R  ]| at liberty again" ~~ 
308:332,16['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor stopped him with a reproof. 
308:332,17[R  ]| "Well$7$" ~~ 
308:332,17['  ]| he replied ~~ 
308:332,17[R  ]| "once more good*bye.  I shall 
308:332,18[R  ]| now go away and live in$4$ dread$0$ of one event." 
308:332,19[A  ]| "What do you mean$1$?" 
308:332,20[R  ]| "Your sister's marriage." 
308:332,21[A  ]| "You are very wrong.  She can never be more lost to$4$ 
308:332,22[A  ]| you than she is now." 
308:332,23[R  ]| "But she will$1$ be gained by$4$ some*one else.  And if that$6#2$ 
308:332,24[R  ]| some*one should be the very he whom$6#1$, of all others, 
308:332,25[R  ]| I could least bear$1$ ~~ But I will$1$ not stay$1$ to$9$ rob myself 
308:332,26[R  ]| of all your compassionate good-will, by$4$ shewing that$3$ 
308:332,27[R  ]| where I have most injured I can least forgive.  Good*bye, ~~ 
308:332,28[R  ]| God bless you!" 
308:332,29['  ]| And with these words, he almost ran out$5$ of the room. 
309:333,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, for$4$ some time after$3$ he left her, for$4$ some time 
309:333,02['  ]| even$5$ after$3$ the sound$0$ of his carriage had died away, 
309:333,03['  ]| remained too$5#1$ much oppressed by$4$ a croud of ideas, widely 
309:333,04['  ]| differing in$4$ themselves, but of which$6#1$ sadness was the 
309:333,05['  ]| general$2$ result$0$, to$9$ think even$5$ of her sister. 
309:333,06['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby, he, whom$6#1$ only half an hour ago she had 
309:333,07['  ]| abhorred as the most worthless of men, $SS#R$Willoughby, in$4$ 
309:333,08['  ]| spite$8$ of all his faults, excited a degree of commiseration 
309:333,09['  ]| for$4$ the sufferings produced by$4$ them, which$6#1$ made her 
309:333,10['  ]| think of him as now separated for*ever from her family 
309:333,11['  ]| with a tenderness, a regret$0$, rather in$4$ proportion, as she 
309:333,12['  ]| soon acknowledged within herself ~~ to$4$ his wishes$0$ than 
309:333,13['  ]| to$4$ his merits.  She felt that$3$ his influence$0$ over her mind$0$ 
309:333,14['  ]| was heightened by$4$ circumstances which$6#1$ ought not in$4$ 
309:333,15['  ]| reason$0$ to$9$ have weight; by$4$ that$6#2$ person of uncommon 
309:333,16['  ]| attraction, that$6#2$ open$2$, affectionate, and lively manner 
309:333,17['  ]| which$6#1$ it was no$2$ merit$0$ to$9$ possess; and by$4$ that$6#2$ still$5$ 
309:333,18['  ]| ardent love$0$ for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, which$6#1$ it was not even$5$ innocent 
309:333,19['  ]| to$9$ indulge.  But she felt that$3$ it was so$5#2$, long, long before$3$ 
309:333,20['  ]| she could feel his influence$0$ less. 
309:333,21['  ]| When at last$0$ she returned to$4$ the unconscious $SS#C$Marianne, 
309:333,22['  ]| she found her just$5$ awaking, refreshed by$4$ so$5#1$ long and 
309:333,23['  ]| sweet a sleep$0$ to$4$ the extent of her hopes$0$.  $SS#A$Elinor's heart 
309:333,24['  ]| was full.  The past$0$, the present$0#1$, the future, $SS#R$Willoughby's 
309:333,25['  ]| visit$0$, $SS#C$Marianne's safety, and her mother's expected 
309:333,26['  ]| arrival, threw her altogether into an agitation of spirits 
309:333,27['  ]| which$6#1$ kept off every indication of fatigue$0$, and made her 
309:333,28['  ]| only fearful of betraying herself to$4$ her sister.  Short was 
309:333,29['  ]| the time, however, in$4$ which$6#1$ that$6#2$ fear$0$ could affect her, 
309:333,30['  ]| for$3$ within half an hour after$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby's leaving the 
309:333,31['  ]| house, she was again called down*stairs by$4$ the sound$0$ 
309:333,32['  ]| of another carriage. ~~ Eager to$9$ save$1$ her mother from 
309:333,33['  ]| every unnecessary moment's horrible suspense, she ran 
309:334,01['  ]| immediately into the hall, and reached the outward door 
309:334,02['  ]| just$5$ in$4$ time to$9$ receive and support$1$ her as she entered it. 
309:334,03['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, whose$6#1$ terror as they drew near$4$ the 
309:334,04['  ]| house had produced almost the conviction of $SS#C$Marianne's 
309:334,05['  ]| being$1$ no$2$ more, had no$2$ voice to$9$ inquire after$4$ her, no$2$ 
309:334,06['  ]| voice even$5$ for$4$ $SS#A$Elinor; but \she\, waiting neither for$4$ salutation 
309:334,07['  ]| nor inquiry, instantly gave the joyful relief; ~~ and her 
309:334,08['  ]| mother, catching it with all her usual warmth, was in$4$ a 
309:334,09['  ]| moment as much overcome by$4$ her happiness, as she had 
309:334,10['  ]| been before$5$ by$4$ her fears.  She was supported into the 
309:334,11['  ]| drawing-room between her daughter and her friend; ~~ 
309:334,12['  ]| and there, shedding tears of joy, though still$5$ unable to$9$ 
309:334,13['  ]| speak, embraced $SS#A$Elinor again and again, turning from 
309:334,14['  ]| her at intervals to$9$ press$1$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's hand$0$, with 
309:334,15['  ]| a look$0$ which$6#1$ spoke at once her gratitude, and her conviction 
309:334,16['  ]| of his sharing with herself in$4$ the bliss of the 
309:334,17['  ]| moment.  He shared it, however, in$4$ a silence$0$ even$5$ greater 
309:334,18['  ]| than her own$2$. 
309:334,19['  ]| As soon as $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood had recovered herself, to$9$ 
309:334,20['  ]| see $SS#C$Marianne was her first desire$0$; and in$4$ two minutes 
309:334,21['  ]| she was with her beloved child, rendered dearer to$4$ her 
309:334,22['  ]| than ever by$4$ absence, unhappiness, and danger.  $SS#A$Elinor's 
309:334,23['  ]| delight$0$, as she saw what each felt in$4$ the meeting, was 
309:334,24['  ]| only checked by$4$ an apprehension of its robbing $SS#C$Marianne 
309:334,25['  ]| of farther sleep$0$; ~~ but $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood could be calm$2$, 
309:334,26['  ]| could be even$5$ prudent, when the life of a child was at 
309:334,27['  ]| stake$0$, and $SS#C$Marianne, satisfied in$4$ knowing her mother 
309:334,28['  ]| was near$4$ her, and conscious of being$1$ too$5#1$ weak for$4$ conversation, 
309:334,29['  ]| submitted readily to$4$ the silence$0$ and quiet$0$ 
309:334,30['  ]| prescribed by$4$ every nurse$0$ around$4$ her.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
309:334,31['  ]| \would\ sit up$5$ with her all night, and $SS#A$Elinor, in$4$ compliance 
309:334,32['  ]| with her mother's entreaty, went to$4$ bed.  But the rest$0#2$, 
309:334,33['  ]| which$6#1$ one night entirely sleepless, and many hours of 
309:334,34['  ]| the most wearing anxiety seemed to$9$ make$1$ requisite, 
309:334,35['  ]| was kept off by$4$ irritation of spirits.  $SS#R$Willoughby, 
309:334,35@a   | "poor 
309:334,36@a   | $SS#R$Willoughby," 
309:334,36['  ]| as she now allowed herself to$9$ call$1$ him, 
309:334,37['  ]| was constantly in$4$ her thoughts; she would not but 
309:334,38['  ]| have heard his vindication for$4$ the world, and now blamed, 
309:335,01['  ]| now acquitted herself for$4$ having judged him so$5#1$ harshly 
309:335,02['  ]| before$5$.  But her promise$0$ of relating it to$4$ her sister was 
309:335,03['  ]| invariably painful.  She dreaded the performance of it, 
309:335,04['  ]| dreaded what its effect$0$ on$4$ $SS#C$Marianne might be; doubted 
309:335,05['  ]| whether after$4$ such an explanation she could ever be 
309:335,06['  ]| happy with another; and for$4$ a moment wished $SS#R$Willoughby 
309:335,07['  ]| a widower.  Then, remembering $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
309:335,08['  ]| reproved herself, felt that$3$ to$4$ \his\ sufferings and \his\ 
309:335,09['  ]| constancy far more than to$4$ his rival's, the reward$0$ of 
309:335,10['  ]| her sister was due$2$, and wished any*thing rather than 
309:335,11['  ]| $SS#ZR$Mrs%*Willoughby's death. 
309:335,12['  ]| The shock$0$ of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's errand at Barton had 
309:335,13['  ]| been much softened to$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood by$4$ her own$2$ 
309:335,14['  ]| previous alarm$0$; for$3$ so$5#1$ great was her uneasiness about$4$ 
309:335,15['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, that$3$ she had already determined to$9$ set$1$ out$5$ 
309:335,16['  ]| for$4$ Cleveland on$4$ that$6#2$ very day, without waiting for$4$ any 
309:335,17['  ]| farther intelligence, and had so$5#1$ far settled her journey 
309:335,18['  ]| before$4$ his arrival, that$3$ the $SS#ZE$Careys were then expected 
309:335,19['  ]| every moment to$9$ fetch $SS#E$Margaret away, as her mother 
309:335,20['  ]| was unwilling to$9$ take her where there might be infection. 
309:335,21['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne continued to$9$ mend every day, and the 
309:335,22['  ]| brilliant cheerfulness of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's looks$0$ and 
309:335,23['  ]| spirits proved her to$9$ be, as she repeatedly declared herself, 
309:335,24@d   | one of the happiest women in$4$ the world. 
309:335,24['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor 
309:335,25['  ]| could not hear the declaration, nor witness$1$ its proofs 
309:335,26['  ]| without sometimes wondering whether her mother 
309:335,27['  ]| ever recollected $SS#B$Edward.  But $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, trusting 
309:335,28['  ]| to$4$ the temperate account$0$ of her own$2$ disappointment 
309:335,29['  ]| which$6#1$ $SS#A$Elinor had sent her, was led away by$4$ the exuberance 
309:335,30['  ]| of her joy to$9$ think only of what would increase$1$ 
309:335,31['  ]| it.  $SS#C$Marianne was restored to$9$ her from a danger in$4$ 
309:335,32['  ]| which$6#1$, as she now began to$9$ feel, her own$2$ mistaken 
309:335,33['  ]| judgment in$4$ encouraging the unfortunate attachment 
309:335,34['  ]| to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, had contributed to$9$ place$1$ her; ~~ and 
309:335,35['  ]| in$4$ her recovery she had yet another source of joy unthought 
309:335,36['  ]| of by$4$ $SS#A$Elinor.  It was thus imparted to$4$ her, as 
309:335,37['  ]| soon as any opportunity of private$2$ conference between 
309:335,38['  ]| them occurred. 
309:336,01[D  ]| "At last$0$ we are alone.  My $SS#A$Elinor, you do not yet 
309:336,02[D  ]| know all my happiness.  $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon loves $SS#C$Marianne. 
309:336,03[D  ]| He has told me so$5#2$ himself." 
309:336,04['  ]| Her daughter, feeling by$4$ turns$0$ both pleased and 
309:336,05['  ]| pained, surprised and not surprised, was all silent 
309:336,06['  ]| attention. 
309:336,07[D  ]| "You are never like$4$ me, dear$2#1$ $SS#A$Elinor, or I should 
309:336,08[D  ]| wonder$1$ at your composure now.  Had I sat down$5$ to$9$ 
309:336,09[D  ]| wish$1$ for$4$ any possible good to$4$ my family, I should have 
309:336,10[D  ]| fixed on$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's marrying one of you as the 
309:336,11[D  ]| object$0$ most desirable.  And I believe $SS#C$Marianne will$1$ be 
309:336,12[D  ]| the most happy with him of the two." 
309:336,13['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor was half inclined to$9$ ask her reason$0$ for$4$ thinking 
309:336,14['  ]| so$5#2$, because satisfied that$3$ none founded on$4$ an impartial 
309:336,15['  ]| consideration of their age, characters, or feelings, could 
309:336,16['  ]| be given; ~~ but her mother must always be carried away 
309:336,17['  ]| by$4$ her imagination on$4$ any interesting subject$0$, and 
309:336,18['  ]| therefore instead of an inquiry, she passed it off with 
309:336,19['  ]| a smile$0$. 
309:336,20[D  ]| "He opened his whole$2$ heart to$4$ me yesterday as we 
309:336,21[D  ]| travelled.  It came out$5$ quite unawares, quite undesignedly. 
309:336,22[D  ]| I, you may$1$ well$5$ believe, could talk$1$ of nothing 
309:336,23[D  ]| but my child; ~~ he could not conceal his distress$0$; I saw 
309:336,24[D  ]| that$3$ it equalled my own$2$, and he perhaps, thinking that$3$ 
309:336,25[D  ]| mere friendship, as the world now goes, would not justify 
309:336,26[D  ]| so$5#1$ warm$2$ a sympathy ~~ or rather not thinking at all, I 
309:336,27[D  ]| suppose ~~ giving way to$4$ irresistible feelings, made me 
309:336,28[D  ]| acquainted with his earnest, tender$2$, constant, affection 
309:336,29[D  ]| for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  He has loved her, my $SS#A$Elinor, ever since 
309:336,30[D  ]| the first moment of  seeing her." 
309:336,31['  ]| Here, however, $SS#A$Elinor perceived, ~~ not the language, 
309:336,32['  ]| not the professions of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, but the natural$2$ 
309:336,33['  ]| embellishments of her mother's active fancy$0$, which$6#1$ 
309:336,34['  ]| fashioned every*thing delightful to$4$ her, as it chose. 
309:336,35[D  ]| "His regard$0$ for$4$ her, infinitely surpassing anything 
309:336,36[D  ]| that$6#1$ $SS#R$Willoughby ever felt or feigned, as much more 
309:336,37[D  ]| warm$2$, as more sincere or constant ~~ which*ever we are 
309:336,38[D  ]| to$9$ call$1$ it ~~ has subsisted through$4$ all the knowledge of 
309:337,01[D  ]| dear$2#1$ $SS#C$Marianne's unhappy prepossession for$4$ that$6#2$ worthless 
309:337,02[D  ]| young man! ~~ and without selfishness ~~ without 
309:337,03[D  ]| encouraging a hope$0$! ~~ could he have seen her unhappy 
309:337,04[D  ]| with another ~~ Such a noble mind$0$! ~~ such openness, 
309:337,05[D  ]| such sincerity! ~~ no*one can be deceived in$4$ \him\." 
309:337,06[A  ]| "$SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's character," 
309:337,06['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
309:337,06[A  ]| "as an 
309:337,07[A  ]| excellent man, is well$5$ established." 
309:337,08[D  ]| "I know it is" ~~ 
309:337,08['  ]| replied her mother seriously, 
309:337,08[D  ]| "or after$4$ 
309:337,09[D  ]| such a warning, \I\ should be the last$0$ to$9$ encourage such 
309:337,10[D  ]| affection, or even$5$ to$9$ be pleased by$4$ it.  But his coming 
309:337,11[D  ]| for$4$ me as he did, with such active, such ready friendship, 
309:337,12[D  ]| is enough to$9$ prove him one of the worthiest of men." 
309:337,13[A  ]| "His character, however," 
309:337,13['  ]| answered $SS#A$Elinor, 
309:337,13[A  ]| "does 
309:337,14[A  ]| not rest$1$ on$4$ \one\ act$0$ of kindness, to$4$ which$6#1$ his affection for$4$ 
309:337,15[A  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, were humanity out$5$ of the case, would have 
309:337,16[A  ]| prompted him.  To$4$ $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, to$4$ the $SS#L1$Middletons, 
309:337,17[A  ]| he has been long and intimately known; they equally 
309:337,18[A  ]| love$1$ and respect$1$ him; and even$5$ my own$2$ knowledge of 
309:337,19[A  ]| him, though lately acquired, is very considerable; and 
309:337,20[A  ]| so$5#1$ highly do \I\ value$1$ and esteem$1$ him, that$3$ if $SS#C$Marianne 
309:337,21[A  ]| can be happy with him, I shall be as ready as yourself 
309:337,22[A  ]| to$9$ think our connection the greatest blessing to$4$ us in$4$ the 
309:337,23[A  ]| world.  What answer$0$ did you give him? ~~ Did you allow 
309:337,24[A  ]| him to$9$ hope$1$?" 
309:337,25[D  ]| "Oh! my love$0$, I could not then talk$1$ of hope$0$ to$4$ him 
309:337,26[D  ]| or to$4$ myself.  $SS#C$Marianne might at that$6#2$ moment be dying. 
309:337,27[D  ]| But he did not ask for$4$ hope$0$ or encouragement.  His 
309:337,28[D  ]| was an involuntary confidence, an irrepressible effusion 
309:337,29[D  ]| to$4$ a soothing friend ~~ not an application to$4$ a parent. 
309:337,30[D  ]| Yet after$4$ a time I \did\ say, for$3$ at first I was quite overcome 
309:337,31[D  ]| ~~ that$3$ if she lived, as I trusted she might, my 
309:337,32[D  ]| greatest happiness would lie$1$ in$4$ promoting their marriage; 
309:337,33[D  ]| and since our arrival, since our delightful security I have 
309:337,34[D  ]| repeated it to$4$ him more fully, have given him every 
309:337,35[D  ]| encouragement in$4$ my power.  Time, a very little time, 
309:337,36[D  ]| I tell him, will$1$ do everything; ~~ $SS#C$Marianne's heart is not 
309:337,37[D  ]| to$9$ be wasted for*ever on$4$ such a man as $SS#R$Willoughby. ~~ 
309:337,38[D  ]| His own$2$ merits must soon secure$1$ it." 
309:338,01[A  ]| "To$9$ judge$1$ from the $SS#H$Colonel's spirits, however, you 
309:338,02[A  ]| have not yet made him equally sanguine." 
309:338,03[D  ]| "No$7$. ~~ He thinks $SS#C$Marianne's affection too$5#1$ deeply 
309:338,04[D  ]| rooted for$4$ any change$0$ in$4$ it under a great length of time, 
309:338,05[D  ]| and even$5$ supposing her heart again free, is too$5#1$ diffident 
309:338,06[D  ]| of himself to$9$ believe, that$3$ with such a difference of age 
309:338,07[D  ]| and disposition, he could ever attach her.  There, however, 
309:338,08[D  ]| he is quite mistaken.  His age is only so$5#1$ much 
309:338,09[D  ]| beyond$4$ her's, as to$9$ be an advantage, as to$9$ make$1$ his 
309:338,10[D  ]| character and principles fixed; ~~ and his disposition, 
309:338,11[D  ]| I am well$5$ convinced, is exactly the very one to$9$ make$1$ 
309:338,12[D  ]| your sister happy.  And his person, his manners too$5#2$, 
309:338,13[D  ]| are all in$4$ his favour$0$.  My partiality does not blind$1$ me; 
309:338,14[D  ]| he certainly is not so$5#1$ handsome as $SS#R$Willoughby ~~ but at 
309:338,15[D  ]| the same time, there is something much more pleasing 
309:338,16[D  ]| in$4$ his countenance. ~~ There was always a something, ~~ 
309:338,17[D  ]| if you remember, ~~ in$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby's eyes at times, which$6#1$ 
309:338,18[D  ]| I did not like$1$." 
309:338,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could \not\ remember it; ~~ but her mother, 
309:338,20['  ]| without waiting for$4$ her assent, continued, 
309:338,21[D  ]| "And his manners, the $SS#H$Colonel's manners are not only 
309:338,22[D  ]| more pleasing to$4$ me than $SS#R$Willoughby's ever were, but 
309:338,23[D  ]| they are of a kind$0$ I well$5$ know to$9$ be more solidly attaching 
309:338,24[D  ]| to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  Their gentleness, their genuine 
309:338,25[D  ]| attention to$4$ other people, and their manly unstudied 
309:338,26[D  ]| simplicity is much more accordant with her real disposition, 
309:338,27[D  ]| than the liveliness ~~ often artificial, and often ill-timed 
309:338,28[D  ]| of the other.  I am very sure myself, that$3$ had 
309:338,29[D  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby turned out$5$ as really amiable, as he has 
309:338,30[D  ]| proved himself the contrary, $SS#C$Marianne would yet never 
309:338,31[D  ]| have been so$5#1$ happy with \him\, as she will$1$ be with $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon." 
309:338,32[D  ]| 
309:338,33['  ]| She paused. ~~ Her daughter could not quite agree 
309:338,34['  ]| with her, but her dissent was not heard, and therefore 
309:338,35['  ]| gave no$2$ offence. 
309:338,36[D  ]| "At Delaford, she will$1$ be within an easy distance$0$ of 
309:338,37[D  ]| me," 
309:338,37['  ]| added $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
309:338,37[D  ]| "even$5$ if I remain at 
309:338,38[D  ]| Barton; and in$4$ all probability, ~~ for$3$ I hear it is a large 
309:339,01[D  ]| village, ~~ indeed there certainly \must\ be some small 
309:339,02[D  ]| house or cottage close$5$ by$5$, that$6#1$ would suit$1$ us quite as 
309:339,03[D  ]| well$5$ as our present$2$ situation." 
309:339,04['  ]| Poor $SS#A$Elinor! 
309:339,04@a   | ~~ here was a new scheme$0$ for$4$ getting 
309:339,05@a   | her to$4$ Delaford! ~~ 
309:339,05['  ]| but her spirit was stubborn. 
309:339,06[A  ]| "His fortune too$5#2$! ~~ for$3$ at my time of life you know, 
309:339,07[A  ]| everybody cares$1$ about$4$ \that$6#2$\; ~~ and though I neither 
309:339,08[A  ]| know, nor desire$1$ to$9$ know, what it really is, I am sure it 
309:339,09[A  ]| must be a good one." 
309:339,10['  ]| Here they were interrupted by$4$ the entrance of a third 
309:339,11['  ]| person, and $SS#A$Elinor withdrew to$9$ think it all over in$4$ private$0$, 
309:339,12['  ]| to$9$ wish$1$ success to$4$ her friend, and yet in$4$ wishing it, to$9$ feel 
309:339,13['  ]| a pang for$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby. 
310:340,01['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne's illness, though weakening in$4$ its kind$0$, 
310:340,02['  ]| had not been long enough to$9$ make$1$ her recovery slow; 
310:340,03['  ]| and with youth, natural$2$ strength, and her mother's 
310:340,04['  ]| presence in$4$ aid, it proceeded so$5#1$ smoothly as to$9$ enable her 
310:340,05['  ]| to$9$ remove$1$, within four days after$4$ the arrival of the latter, 
310:340,06['  ]| into $SS#O$Mrs%*Palmer's dressing-room.  When there, at her 
310:340,07['  ]| own$2$ particular request$0$, for$3$ she was impatient to$9$ pour 
310:340,08['  ]| forth her thanks to$4$ him for$4$ fetching her mother, $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
310:340,09['  ]| was invited to$9$ visit$1$ her. 
310:340,10['  ]| His emotion in$4$ entering the room, in$4$ seeing her 
310:340,11['  ]| altered looks$0$, and in$4$ receiving the pale hand$0$ which$6#1$ she 
310:340,12['  ]| immediately held out$5$ to$4$ him, was such, as, in$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's 
310:340,13['  ]| conjecture$0$, 
310:340,13@a   | must arise from something more than his 
310:340,14@a   | affection for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, or the consciousness of its being$1$ 
310:340,15@a   | known to$4$ others; 
310:340,15['  ]| and she soon discovered in$4$ his melancholy$2$ 
310:340,16['  ]| eye and varying complexion as he looked at her 
310:340,17['  ]| sister, 
310:340,17@a   | the probable recurrence of many past$2$ scenes of 
310:340,18@a   | misery to$4$ his mind$0$, brought back$5$ by$4$ that$6#2$ resemblance 
310:340,19@a   | between $SS#C$Marianne and $SS#ZB$Eliza already acknowledged, and 
310:340,20@a   | now strengthened by$4$ the hollow eye, the sickly skin, 
310:340,21@a   | the posture of reclining weakness, and the warm$2$ acknowledgment 
310:340,22@a   | of peculiar obligation. 
310:340,23['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, not less watchful of what passed than 
310:340,24['  ]| her daughter, but with a mind$0$ very differently influenced, 
310:340,25['  ]| and therefore watching to$4$ very different effect$0$, saw 
310:340,26['  ]| nothing in$4$ the $SS#H$Colonel's behaviour but what arose from 
310:340,27['  ]| the most simple$2$ and self-evident sensations, while$3$ in$4$ 
310:340,28['  ]| the actions and words of $SS#C$Marianne she persuaded herself 
310:340,29['  ]| to$9$ think that$3$ something more than gratitude already 
310:340,30['  ]| dawned. 
310:340,31['  ]| At the end$0$ of another day or two, $SS#C$Marianne growing 
310:340,32['  ]| visibly stronger every twelve hours, $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
310:340,33['  ]| urged equally by$4$ her own$2$ and her daughter's wishes$0$, 
310:341,01['  ]| began to$9$ talk$1$ of removing to$4$ Barton.  On$4$ \her\ measures 
310:341,02['  ]| depended those of her two friends; $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings could 
310:341,03['  ]| not quit Cleveland during the $SS#D1$Dashwoods' stay$0$, and 
310:341,04['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon was soon brought, by$4$ their united 
310:341,05['  ]| request$0$, to$9$ consider his own$2$ abode there as equally 
310:341,06['  ]| determinate, if not equally indispensable.  At his and 
310:341,07['  ]| $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's united request$0$ in$4$ return$0$, $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
310:341,08['  ]| was prevailed on$5$ to$9$ accept the use$0$ of his carriage 
310:341,09['  ]| on$4$ her journey back$5$, for$4$ the better accommodation of 
310:341,10['  ]| her sick child; and the $SS#H$Colonel, at the joint invitation of 
310:341,11['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, whose$6#1$ active good-nature 
310:341,12['  ]| made her friendly and hospitable for$4$ other 
310:341,13['  ]| people as well$5$ as herself, engaged with pleasure to$9$ redeem 
310:341,14['  ]| it by$4$ a visit$0$ at the cottage, in$4$ the course$0$ of a few 
310:341,15['  ]| weeks. 
310:341,16['  ]| The day of separation and departure arrived; and 
310:341,17['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, after$4$ taking so$5#1$ particular and lengthened a 
310:341,18['  ]| leave$0$ of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, one so$5#1$ earnestly grateful, so$5#1$ full 
310:341,19['  ]| of respect$0$ and kind$2$ wishes$0$ as seemed due$2$ to$4$ her own$2$ 
310:341,20['  ]| heart from a secret$2$ acknowledgment of past$2$ inattention, 
310:341,21['  ]| and bidding $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon farewel with the cordiality 
310:341,22['  ]| of a friend, was carefully assisted by$4$ him into the carriage, 
310:341,23['  ]| of which$6#1$ he seemed anxious that$3$ she should engross at 
310:341,24['  ]| least half.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood and $SS#A$Elinor then followed, 
310:341,25['  ]| and the others were left by$4$ themselves, to$9$ talk$1$ of the 
310:341,26['  ]| travellers, and feel their own$2$ dulness, till $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings 
310:341,27['  ]| was summoned to$4$ her chaise to$9$ take comfort$0$ in$4$ the gossip 
310:341,28['  ]| of her maid for$4$ the loss of her two young companions; 
310:341,29['  ]| and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon immediately afterwards took his 
310:341,30['  ]| solitary way to$4$ Delaford. 
310:341,31['  ]| The $SS#D1$Dashwoods were two days on$4$ the road, and 
310:341,32['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne bore$1#1$ her journey on$4$ both, without essential 
310:341,33['  ]| fatigue$0$.  Every*thing that$6#1$ the most zealous affection, 
310:341,34['  ]| the most solicitous care$0$ could do to$9$ render her comfortable, 
310:341,35['  ]| was the office of each watchful companion, and each 
310:341,36['  ]| found their reward$0$ in$4$ her bodily ease$0$, and her calmness 
310:341,37['  ]| of spirits.  To$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, the observation of the latter was 
310:341,38['  ]| particularly grateful.  She, who$6#1$ had seen her week after$4$ 
310:342,01['  ]| week so$5#1$ constantly suffering, oppressed by$4$ anguish of 
310:342,02['  ]| heart which$6#1$ she had neither courage to$9$ speak of, nor 
310:342,03['  ]| fortitude to$9$ conceal, now saw with a joy, which$6#1$ no$2$ other 
310:342,04['  ]| could equally share$1$, an apparent composure of mind$0$, 
310:342,05['  ]| which$6#1$, in$4$ being$1$ the result$0$ as she trusted of serious$2$ reflection, 
310:342,06['  ]| must eventually lead$1$ her to$4$ contentment and 
310:342,07['  ]| cheerfulness. 
310:342,08['  ]| As they approached Barton, indeed, and entered on$4$ 
310:342,09['  ]| scenes, of which$6#1$ every field and every tree brought some 
310:342,10['  ]| peculiar, some painful recollection, she grew silent and 
310:342,11['  ]| thoughtful, and turning away her face$0$ from their notice$0$, 
310:342,12['  ]| sat earnestly gazing through$4$ the window.  But here, 
310:342,13['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could neither wonder$1$ nor blame$1$; and when she 
310:342,14['  ]| saw, as she assisted $SS#C$Marianne from the carriage, that$3$ 
310:342,15['  ]| she had been crying, she saw only an emotion too$5#1$ 
310:342,16['  ]| natural$2$ in$4$ itself to$9$ raise anything less tender$2$ than pity$0$, 
310:342,17['  ]| and in$4$ its unobtrusiveness entitled to$4$ praise$0$.  In$4$ the 
310:342,18['  ]| whole$0$ of her subsequent manner, she traced the direction 
310:342,19['  ]| of a mind$0$ awakened to$4$ reasonable exertion; for$3$ no$2$ 
310:342,20['  ]| sooner had they entered their common$2$ sitting-room, 
310:342,21['  ]| than $SS#C$Marianne turned her eyes around$4$ it with a look$0$ of 
310:342,22['  ]| resolute firmness, as if determined at once to$9$ accustom 
310:342,23['  ]| herself to$4$ the sight of every object$0$ with which$6#1$ the 
310:342,24['  ]| remembrance of $SS#R$Willoughby could be connected. ~~ She 
310:342,25['  ]| said little, but every sentence aimed at cheerfulness, and 
310:342,26['  ]| though a sigh$0$ sometimes escaped her, it never passed 
310:342,27['  ]| away without the atonement of a smile$0$.  After$4$ dinner 
310:342,28['  ]| she would try her piano-forte=.  She went to$4$ it; but the 
310:342,29['  ]| music on$4$ which$6#1$ her eye first rested was an opera, procured 
310:342,30['  ]| for$4$ her by$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby, containing some of their 
310:342,31['  ]| favourite$2$ duets, and bearing on$4$ its outward leaf her 
310:342,32['  ]| own$2$ name$0$ in$4$ his hand*writing. ~~ That$6#2$ would not do. ~~ 
310:342,33['  ]| She shook her head$0$, put the music aside, and after$4$ 
310:342,34['  ]| running over the keys for$4$ a minute$0$ complained of 
310:342,35['  ]| feebleness in$4$ her fingers, and closed the instrument 
310:342,36['  ]| again; declaring however with firmness as she did so$5#2$, 
310:342,37['  ]| that$3$ she should in$4$ future practise much. 
310:342,38['  ]| The next morning produced no$2$ abatement in$4$ these 
310:343,01['  ]| happy symptoms.  On$4$ the contrary, with a mind$0$ and 
310:343,02['  ]| body alike strengthened by$4$ rest$0#2$, she looked and spoke 
310:343,03['  ]| with more genuine spirit, anticipating the pleasure of 
310:343,04['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret's return$0$, and talking of the dear$2#1$ family party 
310:343,05['  ]| which$6#1$ would then be restored, of their mutual pursuits 
310:343,06['  ]| and cheerful society as the only happiness worth a wish$0$. 
310:343,07[C  ]| "When the weather is settled, and I have recovered 
310:343,08[C  ]| my strength," 
310:343,08['  ]| said she, 
310:343,08[C  ]| "we will$1$ take long walks$0$ together 
310:343,09[C  ]| every day.  We will$1$ walk$1$ to$4$ the farm at the edge 
310:343,10[C  ]| of the down$0$, and see how the children go on$5$; we will$1$ 
310:343,11[C  ]| walk$1$ to$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John's new plantations at Barton-Cross, and 
310:343,12[C  ]| the Abbeyland; and we will$1$ often go to$4$ the old ruins of 
310:343,13[C  ]| the Priory, and try to$9$ trace its foundations as far as we 
310:343,14[C  ]| are told they once reached.  I know we shall be happy. 
310:343,15[C  ]| I know the summer will$1$ pass$1$ happily away.  I mean$1$ 
310:343,16[C  ]| never to$9$ be later in$4$ rising than six, and from that$6#2$ time 
310:343,17[C  ]| till dinner I shall divide every moment between music and 
310:343,18[C  ]| reading.  I have formed my plan, and am determined 
310:343,19[C  ]| to$9$ enter on$4$ a course$0$ of serious$2$ study$0$.  Our own$2$ library 
310:343,20[C  ]| is too$5#1$ well$5$ known to$4$ me, to$9$ be resorted to$5$ for$4$ anything 
310:343,21[C  ]| beyond$4$ mere amusement.  But there are many works$0$ 
310:343,22[C  ]| well$5$ worth reading, at the Park; and there are others of 
310:343,23[C  ]| more modern production which$6#1$ I know I can borrow 
310:343,24[C  ]| of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon.  By$4$ reading only six hours a-day, 
310:343,25[C  ]| I shall gain$1$ in$4$ the course$0$ of a twelvemonth a great deal$0$ 
310:343,26[C  ]| of instruction which$6#1$ I now feel myself to$9$ want$1$." 
310:343,27['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor honoured her for$4$ a plan which$6#1$ originated so$5#1$ 
310:343,28['  ]| nobly as this; though smiling to$9$ see the same eager 
310:343,29['  ]| fancy$0$ which$6#1$ had been leading her to$4$ the extreme$0$ of 
310:343,30['  ]| languid indolence and selfish repining, now at work$0$ 
310:343,31['  ]| in$4$ introducing excess into a scheme$0$ of such rational 
310:343,32['  ]| employment and virtuous self-controul.  Her smile$0$ 
310:343,33['  ]| however changed to$4$ a sigh$0$ when she remembered, 
310:343,34['  ]| that$3$ her promise$0$ to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby was yet unfulfilled, 
310:343,35['  ]| and feared she had that$6#2$ to$9$ communicate which$6#1$ might 
310:343,36['  ]| again unsettle the mind$0$ of $SS#C$Marianne, and ruin$1$ at least 
310:343,37['  ]| for$4$ a time this fair prospect of busy tranquillity.  Willing 
310:343,38['  ]| therefore to$9$ delay$0$ the evil hour, she resolved to$9$ wait till 
310:344,01['  ]| her sister's health were more secure$2$, before$3$ she appointed 
310:344,02['  ]| it.  But the resolution was made only to$9$ be broken. 
310:344,03['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne had been two or three days at home, before$3$ 
310:344,04['  ]| the weather was fine enough for$4$ an invalid like$4$ herself 
310:344,05['  ]| to$9$ venture out$5$.  But at last$0$ a soft, genial morning 
310:344,06['  ]| appeared; such as might tempt the daughter's wishes$0$ 
310:344,07['  ]| and the mother's confidence; and $SS#C$Marianne, leaning 
310:344,08['  ]| on$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's arm$0$, was authorised to$9$ walk$1$ as long as she 
310:344,09['  ]| could without fatigue$0$, in$4$ the lane before$4$ the house. 
310:344,10['  ]| The sisters set$1$ out$5$ at a pace$0$, slow as the feebleness 
310:344,11['  ]| of $SS#C$Marianne in$4$ an exercise$0$ hitherto untried since her 
310:344,12['  ]| illness required; ~~ and they had advanced only so$5#1$ far 
310:344,13['  ]| beyond$4$ the house as to$9$ admit a full view$0$ of the hill, 
310:344,14['  ]| the important hill behind, when pausing with her eyes 
310:344,15['  ]| turned towards it, $SS#C$Marianne calmly said, 
310:344,16[C  ]| "There, exactly there" ~~ 
310:344,16['  ]| pointing with one hand$0$, 
310:344,17[C  ]| "on$4$ that$6#2$ projecting mound, ~~ there I fell; and there I 
310:344,18[C  ]| first saw $SS#R$Willoughby." 
310:344,19['  ]| Her voice sunk with the word, but presently reviving 
310:344,20['  ]| she added, 
310:344,21[C  ]| "I am thankful to$9$ find that$3$ I can look$1$ with so$5#1$ little 
310:344,22[C  ]| pain$0$ on$4$ the spot! ~~ shall we ever talk$1$ on$4$ that$6#2$ subject$0$, 
310:344,23[C  ]| $SS#A$Elinor?" ~~ 
310:344,23['  ]| hesitatingly it was said. ~~ 
310:344,23[C  ]| "Or will$1$ it be 
310:344,24[C  ]| wrong? ~~ I \can\ talk$1$ of it now, I hope$1$, as I ought to$9$ do." ~~ 
310:344,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor tenderly invited her to$9$ be open$2$. 
310:344,26[C  ]| "As for$4$ regret$0$," 
310:344,26['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, 
310:344,26[C  ]| "I have done with 
310:344,27[C  ]| that$6#2$, as far as \he\ is concerned.  I do not mean$1$ to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$ 
310:344,28[C  ]| you of what my feelings have been for$4$ him, but what 
310:344,29[C  ]| they are \now\. ~~ At present$0#1$, if I could be satisfied on$4$ one 
310:344,30[C  ]| point$0$, if I could be allowed to$9$ think that$3$ he was not 
310:344,31[C  ]| \always\ acting a part$0$, not \always\ deceiving me; ~~ but 
310:344,32[C  ]| above$4$ all, if I could be assured that$3$ he never was so$5#1$ \very\ 
310:344,33[C  ]| wicked as my fears have sometimes fancied him, since 
310:344,34[C  ]| the story of that$6#2$ unfortunate girl" ~~ 
310:344,35['  ]| She stopt. ~~ $SS#A$Elinor joyfully treasured her words as she 
310:344,36['  ]| answered. 
310:344,37[A  ]| "If you could be assured of that$6#2$, you think you should 
310:344,38[A  ]| be easy." 
310:345,01[C  ]| "Yes.  My peace of mind$0$ is doubly involved in$4$ it; ~~ 
310:345,02[C  ]| for$3$ not only is it horrible to$9$ suspect a person, who$6#1$ has 
310:345,03[C  ]| been what \he\ has been to$4$ \me\, of such designs, ~~ but what 
310:345,04[C  ]| must it make$1$ me appear to$4$ myself? ~~ What in$4$ a situation 
310:345,05[C  ]| like$4$ mine$6$, but a most shamefully unguarded affection 
310:345,06[C  ]| could expose me to$4$" ~~ 
310:345,07[A  ]| "How then," 
310:345,07['  ]| asked her sister, 
310:345,07[A  ]| "would you account$1$ 
310:345,08[A  ]| for$4$ his behaviour?" 
310:345,09[C  ]| "I would suppose him, ~~ Oh! how gladly would I 
310:345,10[C  ]| suppose him, only fickle, very, very fickle." 
310:345,11['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor said no$2$ more.  She was debating within herself 
310:345,12['  ]| on$4$ the eligibility of beginning her story directly, or postponing 
310:345,13['  ]| it till $SS#C$Marianne were in$4$ stronger health; ~~ and 
310:345,14['  ]| they crept on$5$ for$4$ a few minutes in$4$ silence$0$. 
310:345,15[C  ]| "I am not wishing him too$5#1$ much good," 
310:345,15['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne 
310:345,16['  ]| at last$0$ with a sigh$0$, 
310:345,16[C  ]| "when I wish$1$ his secret$2$ reflections 
310:345,17[C  ]| may$1$ be no$2$ more unpleasant than my own$2$.  He will$1$ 
310:345,18[C  ]| suffer enough in$4$ them." 
310:345,19[A  ]| "Do you compare your conduct$0$ with his?" 
310:345,20[C  ]| "No$7$.  I compare it with what it ought to$9$ have been; 
310:345,21[C  ]| I compare it with yours." 
310:345,22[A  ]| "Our situations have borne little resemblance." 
310:345,23[C  ]| "They have borne more than our conduct$0$. ~~ Do not, 
310:345,24[C  ]| my dearest $SS#A$Elinor, let your kindness defend what I know 
310:345,25[C  ]| your judgment must censure$1$.  My illness has made me 
310:345,26[C  ]| think ~~ It has given me leisure and calmness for$4$ serious$2$ 
310:345,27[C  ]| recollection.  Long before$3$ I was enough recovered to$9$ 
310:345,28[C  ]| talk$1$, I was perfectly able to$9$ reflect.  I considered the 
310:345,29[C  ]| past$0$; I saw in$4$ my own$2$ behaviour since the beginning 
310:345,30[C  ]| of our acquaintance with him last$2$ autumn, nothing 
310:345,31[C  ]| but a series of imprudence towards myself, and want$0$ 
310:345,32[C  ]| of kindness to$4$ others.  I saw that$3$ my own$2$ feelings had 
310:345,33[C  ]| prepared my sufferings, and that$3$ my want$0$ of fortitude 
310:345,34[C  ]| under them had almost led me to$4$ the grave$0$.  My illness, 
310:345,35[C  ]| I well$5$ knew, had been entirely brought on$5$ by$4$ myself, 
310:345,36[C  ]| by$4$ such negligence of my own$2$ health, as I had felt even$5$ 
310:345,37[C  ]| at the time to$9$ be wrong.  Had I died, ~~ it would have 
310:345,38[C  ]| been self-destruction.  I did not know my danger till 
310:346,01[C  ]| the danger was removed; but with such feelings as 
310:346,02[C  ]| these reflections gave me, I wonder$1$ at my recovery, ~~ 
310:346,03[C  ]| wonder$1$ that$3$ the very eagerness of my desire$0$ to$9$ live, to$9$ 
310:346,04[C  ]| have time for$4$ atonement to$4$ my God, and to$4$ you all, did 
310:346,05[C  ]| not kill me at once.  Had I died, ~~ in$4$ what peculiar 
310:346,06[C  ]| misery should I have left you, my nurse$0$, my friend, my 
310:346,07[C  ]| sister! ~~ You, who$6#1$ had seen all the fretful selfishness 
310:346,08[C  ]| of my latter days; who$6#1$ had known all the murmurings 
310:346,09[C  ]| of my heart! ~~ How should I have lived in$4$ \your\ remembrance! 
310:346,10[C  ]| ~~ My mother too$5#2$!  How could you have consoled 
310:346,11[C  ]| her! ~~ I cannot express$1$ my own$2$ abhorrence of myself. 
310:346,12[C  ]| Whenever I looked towards the past$0$, I saw some duty 
310:346,13[C  ]| neglected, or some failing indulged.  Every*body seemed 
310:346,14[C  ]| injured by$4$ me.  The kindness, the unceasing kindness 
310:346,15[C  ]| of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, I had repaid with ungrateful contempt. 
310:346,16[C  ]| To$4$ the $SS#L1$Middletons, the $SS#N1$Palmers, the $SS#P1$Steeles, to$4$ every 
310:346,17[C  ]| common$2$ acquaintance even$5$, I had been insolent and 
310:346,18[C  ]| unjust; with an heart hardened against their merits, 
310:346,19[C  ]| and a temper irritated by$4$ their very attention. ~~ To$4$ 
310:346,20[C  ]| $SS#F$John, to$4$ $SS#G$Fanny, ~~ yes, even$5$ to$4$ them, little as they 
310:346,21[C  ]| deserve, I had given less than their due$0$.  But you, ~~ 
310:346,22[C  ]| you above$4$ all, above$4$ my mother, had been wronged by$4$ 
310:346,23[C  ]| me.  I, and only I, knew your heart and its sorrows; 
310:346,24[C  ]| yet, to$4$ what did it influence$1$ me? ~~ not to$4$ any compassion 
310:346,25[C  ]| that$6#1$ could benefit you or myself. ~~ Your example was 
310:346,26[C  ]| before$4$ me:  but to$4$ what avail? ~~ Was I more considerate 
310:346,27[C  ]| of you and your comfort$0$?  Did I imitate your 
310:346,28[C  ]| forbearance, or lessen your restraints, by$4$ taking any 
310:346,29[C  ]| part$0$ in$4$ those offices of general$2$ complaisance or particular 
310:346,30[C  ]| gratitude which$6#1$ you had hitherto been left to$9$ discharge 
310:346,31[C  ]| alone? ~~ No$7$; ~~ not less when I knew you to$9$ be unhappy, 
310:346,32[C  ]| than when I had believed you at ease$0$, did I turn$1$ away 
310:346,33[C  ]| from every exertion of duty or friendship; scarcely 
310:346,34[C  ]| allowing sorrow to$9$ exist but with me, regretting only 
310:346,35[C  ]| \that$6#2$\ heart which$6#1$ had deserted and wronged me, and 
310:346,36[C  ]| leaving you, for$4$ whom$6#1$ I professed an unbounded affection, 
310:346,37[C  ]| to$9$ be miserable for$4$ my sake." 
310:346,38['  ]| Here ceased the rapid flow$0$ of her self-reproving spirit; 
310:347,01['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor, impatient to$9$ sooth, though too$5#1$ honest to$9$ 
310:347,02['  ]| flatter, gave her instantly that$6#2$ praise$0$ and support$0$ which$6#1$ 
310:347,03['  ]| her frankness and her contrition so$5#1$ well$5$ deserved. 
310:347,04['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne pressed her hand$0$ and replied, 
310:347,05[C  ]| "You are very good. ~~ The future must be my proof. 
310:347,06[C  ]| I have laid down$5$ my plan, and if I am capable of 
310:347,07[C  ]| adhering to$4$ it ~~ my feelings shall be governed and my 
310:347,08[C  ]| temper improved.  They shall no$2$ longer worry others, 
310:347,09[C  ]| nor torture myself.  I shall now live solely for$4$ my family. 
310:347,10[C  ]| You, my mother, and $SS#E$Margaret, must henceforth be all 
310:347,11[C  ]| the world to$4$ me; you will$1$ share$1$ my affections entirely 
310:347,12[C  ]| between you.  From you, from my home, I shall never 
310:347,13[C  ]| again have the smallest incitement to$9$ move$1$; and if 
310:347,14[C  ]| I do mix in$4$ other society it will$1$ be only to$9$ shew$1$ that$3$ my 
310:347,15[C  ]| spirit is humbled, my heart amended, and that$3$ I can 
310:347,16[C  ]| practise the civilities, the lesser duties of life, with 
310:347,17[C  ]| gentleness, and forbearance.  As for$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby ~~ to$9$ 
310:347,18[C  ]| say that$3$ I shall soon or that$3$ I shall ever forget him, 
310:347,19[C  ]| would be idle.  His remembrance can be overcome by$4$ 
310:347,20[C  ]| no$2$ change$0$ of circumstances or opinions.  But it shall 
310:347,21[C  ]| be regulated, it shall be checked by$4$ religion, by$4$ reason$0$, 
310:347,22[C  ]| by$4$ constant employment." 
310:347,23['  ]| She paused ~~ and added in$4$ a lower$2$ voice, 
310:347,23[C  ]| "If I could 
310:347,24[C  ]| but know \his\ heart, everything would become easy." 
310:347,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ had now been for$4$ some time reflecting 
310:347,26['  ]| on$4$ the propriety or impropriety of speedily hazarding 
310:347,27['  ]| her narration, without feeling at all nearer decision than 
310:347,28['  ]| at first, heard this; and perceiving that$3$ as reflection did 
310:347,29['  ]| nothing, resolution must do all, soon found herself 
310:347,30['  ]| leading to$4$ the fact. 
310:347,31['  ]| She managed the recital, as she hoped, with address$0$; 
310:347,32['  ]| prepared her anxious listener with caution$0$; related 
310:347,33['  ]| simply and honestly the chief points on$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#R$Willoughby 
310:347,34['  ]| grounded his apology; did justice to$4$ his repentance, 
310:347,35['  ]| and softened only his protestations of present$2$ regard$0$. 
310:347,36['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne said not a word. ~~ She trembled, her eyes were 
310:347,37['  ]| fixed on$4$ the ground, and her lips became whiter than 
310:347,38['  ]| even$5$ sickness had left them.  A thousand inquiries sprung 
310:348,01['  ]| up$5$ from her heart, but she dared not urge one.  She 
310:348,02['  ]| caught every syllable with panting eagerness; her hand$0$, 
310:348,03['  ]| unknowingly to$4$ herself, closely pressed her sister's, and 
310:348,04['  ]| tears covered her cheeks. 
310:348,05['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, dreading her being$1$ tired, led her towards home; 
310:348,06['  ]| and till they reached the door of the cottage, easily 
310:348,07['  ]| conjecturing what her curiosity must be though no$2$ 
310:348,08['  ]| question$0$ was suffered to$9$ speak it, talked of nothing but 
310:348,09['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby, and their conversation together; and 
310:348,10['  ]| was carefully minute$2$ in$4$ every particular of speech and 
310:348,11['  ]| look$0$, where minuteness could be safely indulged.  As 
310:348,12['  ]| soon as they entered the house, $SS#C$Marianne with a kiss$0$ 
310:348,13['  ]| of gratitude and these two words just$5$ articulate$2$ through$4$ 
310:348,14['  ]| her tears, 
310:348,14[C  ]| "Tell mama," 
310:348,14['  ]| withdrew from her sister and 
310:348,15['  ]| walked slowly up*stairs.  $SS#A$Elinor would not attempt$1$ 
310:348,16['  ]| to$9$ disturb a solitude so$5#1$ reasonable as what she now 
310:348,17['  ]| sought; and with a mind$0$ anxiously pre-arranging its 
310:348,18['  ]| result$0$, and a resolution of reviving the subject$0$ again, 
310:348,19['  ]| should $SS#C$Marianne fail to$9$ do it, she turned into the parlour 
310:348,20['  ]| to$9$ fulfil her parting injunction. 
311:349,01['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood did not hear unmoved the vindication 
311:349,02['  ]| of her former favourite$0$. 
311:349,02@d   | She rejoiced in$4$ his being$1$ 
311:349,03@d   | cleared from some part$0$ of his imputed guilt; ~~ she was 
311:349,04@d   | sorry for$4$ him; ~~ she wished him happy.  But the feelings 
311:349,05@d   | of the past$0$ could not be recalled. ~~ Nothing could restore 
311:349,06@d   | him with a faith unbroken ~~ a character unblemished, 
311:349,07@d   | to$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  Nothing could do away the knowledge 
311:349,08@d   | of what the latter had suffered through$4$ his means$0$, nor 
311:349,09@d   | remove$1$ the guilt of his conduct$0$ towards $SS#ZC$Eliza.  Nothing 
311:349,10@d   | could replace him, therefore, in$4$ her former esteem$0$, nor 
311:349,11@d   | injure the interests$0$ of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon. 
311:349,12['  ]| Had $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, like$4$ her daughter, heard 
311:349,13['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby's story from himself ~~ had she witnessed his 
311:349,14['  ]| distress$0$, and been under the influence$0$ of his countenance 
311:349,15['  ]| and his manner, it is probable that$3$ her compassion 
311:349,16['  ]| would have been greater.  But it was neither in$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's 
311:349,17['  ]| power, nor in$4$ her wish$0$, to$9$ rouse such feelings in$4$ another, 
311:349,18['  ]| by$4$ her retailed explanation, as had at first been called 
311:349,19['  ]| forth in$4$ herself.  Reflection had given calmness to$4$ her 
311:349,20['  ]| judgment, and sobered her own$2$ opinion of $SS#R$Willoughby's 
311:349,21['  ]| deserts; ~~ she wished, therefore, to$9$ declare only the 
311:349,22['  ]| simple$2$ truth, and lay$1#1$ open$2$ such facts as were really due$2$ 
311:349,23['  ]| to$4$ his character, without any embellishment of tenderness 
311:349,24['  ]| to$9$ lead$1$ the fancy$0$ astray. 
311:349,25['  ]| In$4$ the evening, when they were all three together, 
311:349,26['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne began voluntarily to$9$ speak of him again; ~~ 
311:349,27['  ]| but that$3$ it was not without an effort, the restless, unquiet 
311:349,28['  ]| thoughtfulness in$4$ which$6#1$ she had been for$4$ some time 
311:349,29['  ]| previously sitting ~~ her rising colour, as she spoke ~~ and 
311:349,30['  ]| her unsteady voice, plainly shewed. 
311:349,31[C  ]| "I wish$1$ to$9$ assure you both," 
311:349,31['  ]| said she, 
311:349,31[C  ]| "that$3$ I see 
311:349,32[C  ]| every*thing ~~ as you can desire$1$ me to$9$ do." 
311:349,33['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood would have interrupted her instantly 
311:350,01['  ]| with soothing tenderness, had not $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ really 
311:350,02['  ]| wished to$9$ hear her sister's unbiassed opinion, by$4$ an 
311:350,03['  ]| eager sign, engaged her silence$0$.  $SS#C$Marianne slowly continued ~~ 
311:350,04['  ]| 
311:350,05[C  ]| "It is a great relief to$4$ me ~~ what $SS#A$Elinor told me this 
311:350,06[C  ]| morning ~~ I have now heard exactly what I wished to$9$ 
311:350,07[C  ]| hear." ~~ 
311:350,07['  ]| For$4$ some moments her voice was lost; but 
311:350,08['  ]| recovering herself, she added, and with greater calmness 
311:350,09['  ]| than before$5$ ~~ 
311:350,09[C  ]| "I am now perfectly satisfied, I wish$1$ for$4$ 
311:350,10[C  ]| no$2$ change$0$.  I never could have been happy with him, 
311:350,11[C  ]| after$4$ knowing, as sooner or later I must have known, 
311:350,12[C  ]| all this. ~~ I should have had no$2$ confidence, no$2$ esteem$0$. 
311:350,13[C  ]| Nothing could have done it away to$4$ my feelings." 
311:350,14[D  ]| "I know it ~~ I know it," 
311:350,14['  ]| cried her mother. 
311:350,14[D  ]| "Happy 
311:350,15[D  ]| with a man of libertine practices! ~~ With one who$6#1$ had 
311:350,16[D  ]| so$5#1$ injured the peace of the dearest of our friends, and 
311:350,17[D  ]| the best of men! ~~ No$7$ ~~ my $SS#C$Marianne has not a heart to$9$ 
311:350,18[D  ]| be made happy with such a man! ~~ Her conscience, her 
311:350,19[D  ]| sensitive conscience, would have felt all that$6#1$ the conscience 
311:350,20[D  ]| of her husband ought to$9$ have felt." 
311:350,21['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne sighed, and repeated ~~ 
311:350,21[C  ]| "I wish$1$ for$4$ no$2$ 
311:350,22[C  ]| change$0$." 
311:350,23[A  ]| "You consider the matter," 
311:350,23['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
311:350,23[A  ]| "exactly as 
311:350,24[A  ]| a good mind$0$ and a sound$2$ understanding must consider 
311:350,25[A  ]| it; and I dare$1#2$ say, you perceive, as well$5$ as myself, not 
311:350,26[A  ]| only in$4$ this, but in$4$ many other circumstances, reason$0$ 
311:350,27[A  ]| enough to$9$ be convinced that$3$ your marriage must have 
311:350,28[A  ]| involved you in$4$ many certain troubles and disappointments, 
311:350,29[A  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ you would have been poorly supported 
311:350,30[A  ]| by$4$ an affection, on$4$ his side$0$, much less certain.  Had you 
311:350,31[A  ]| married, you must have been always poor.  His expensiveness 
311:350,32[A  ]| is acknowledged even$5$ by$4$ himself, and his whole$2$ 
311:350,33[A  ]| conduct$0$ declares that$3$ self-denial is a word hardly 
311:350,34[A  ]| understood by$4$ him.  His demands$0$ and your inexperience 
311:350,35[A  ]| together on$4$ a small, very small income, must have 
311:350,36[A  ]| brought on$5$ distresses which$6#1$ would not be the \less\ 
311:350,37[A  ]| grievous to$4$ you, from having been entirely unknown 
311:350,38[A  ]| and unthought of before$5$.  \Your\ sense of honour$0$ and 
311:351,01[A  ]| honesty would have led you, I know, when aware of 
311:351,02[A  ]| your situation, to$9$ attempt$1$ all the economy that$6#1$ would 
311:351,03[A  ]| appear to$4$ you possible; and perhaps, as long as your 
311:351,04[A  ]| frugality retrenched only on$4$ your own$2$ comfort$0$, you 
311:351,05[A  ]| might have been suffered to$9$ practise it, but beyond$4$ that$6#2$ 
311:351,06[A  ]| ~~ and how little could the utmost of your single management 
311:351,07[A  ]| do to$9$ stop$1$ the ruin$0$ which$6#1$ had begun before$4$ your 
311:351,08[A  ]| marriage? ~~ Beyond$4$ \that$6#2$\, had you endeavoured, however 
311:351,09[A  ]| reasonably, to$9$ abridge \his\ enjoyments, is it not to$9$ 
311:351,10[A  ]| be feared, that$3$ instead of prevailing on$4$ feelings so$5#1$ selfish 
311:351,11[A  ]| to$9$ consent$1$ to$4$ it, you would have lessened your own$2$ 
311:351,12[A  ]| influence$0$ on$4$ his heart, and made him regret$1$ the connection 
311:351,13[A  ]| which$6#1$ had involved him in$4$ such difficulties?" 
311:351,14['  ]| $SS#B$Marianne's lips quivered, and she repeated the word 
311:351,15[C  ]| "Selfish?" 
311:351,15['  ]| in$4$ a tone that$6#1$ implied ~~ 
311:351,15@c   | "do you really 
311:351,16@c   | think him selfish?" 
311:351,17[A  ]| "The whole$0$ of his behaviour," 
311:351,17['  ]| replied $SS#A$Elinor, 
311:351,17[A  ]| "from 
311:351,18[A  ]| the beginning to$4$ the end$0$ of the affair, has been grounded 
311:351,19[A  ]| on$4$ selfishness.  It was selfishness which$6#1$ first made him 
311:351,20[A  ]| sport$1$ with your affections; which$6#1$ afterwards, when his 
311:351,21[A  ]| own$2$ were engaged, made him delay$1$ the confession of it, 
311:351,22[A  ]| and which$6#1$ finally carried him from Barton.  His own$2$ 
311:351,23[A  ]| enjoyment, or his own$2$ ease$0$, was, in$4$ every particular, 
311:351,24[A  ]| his ruling principle." 
311:351,25[C  ]| "It is very true.  \My\ happiness never was his object$0$." 
311:351,26[A  ]| "At present$0#1$," 
311:351,26['  ]| continued $SS#A$Elinor, 
311:351,26[A  ]| "he regrets what he 
311:351,27[A  ]| has done.  And why does he regret$1$ it? ~~ Because he finds 
311:351,28[A  ]| it has not answered towards himself.  It has not made 
311:351,29[A  ]| him happy.  His circumstances are now unembarrassed 
311:351,30[A  ]| ~~ he suffers from no$2$ evil of that$6#2$ kind$0$; and he thinks 
311:351,31[A  ]| only that$3$ he has married a woman of a less amiable 
311:351,32[A  ]| temper than yourself.  But does it thence follow that$3$ 
311:351,33[A  ]| had he married you, he would have been happy? ~~ The 
311:351,34[A  ]| inconveniencies would have been different.  He would 
311:351,35[A  ]| then have suffered under the pecuniary distresses which$6#1$, 
311:351,36[A  ]| because they are removed, he now reckons as nothing. 
311:351,37[A  ]| He would have had a wife of whose$6#1$ temper he could 
311:351,38[A  ]| make$1$ no$2$ complaint, but he would have been always 
311:352,01[A  ]| necessitous ~~ always poor; and probably would soon 
311:352,02[A  ]| have learnt to$9$ rank$1$ the innumerable comforts of a clear$2$ 
311:352,03[A  ]| estate and good income as of far more importance, even$5$ 
311:352,04[A  ]| to$4$ domestic$2$ happiness, than the mere temper of a wife." 
311:352,05[C  ]| "I have not a doubt$0$ of it," 
311:352,05['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne; 
311:352,05[C  ]| "and 
311:352,06[C  ]| I have nothing to$9$ regret$1$ ~~ nothing but my own$2$ folly." 
311:352,07[D  ]| "Rather say your mother's imprudence, my child," 
311:352,08['  ]| said $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood; 
311:352,08[D  ]| "\she\ must be answerable." 
311:352,09['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne would not let her proceed; ~~ and $SS#A$Elinor, 
311:352,10['  ]| satisfied that$3$ each felt their own$2$ error, wished to$9$ avoid 
311:352,11['  ]| any survey of the past$0$ that$6#1$ might weaken her sister's 
311:352,12['  ]| spirits; she therefore, pursuing the first subject$0$, 
311:352,13['  ]| immediately continued, 
311:352,14[A  ]| "\One\ observation may$1$, I think, be fairly drawn from 
311:352,15[A  ]| the whole$0$ of the story ~~ that$3$ all $SS#R$Willoughby's difficulties 
311:352,16[A  ]| have arisen from the first offence against virtue, in$4$ his 
311:352,17[A  ]| behaviour to$4$ $SS#ZC$Eliza*Williams.  That$6#2$ crime has been the 
311:352,18[A  ]| origin of every lesser one, and of all his present$2$ discontents." 
311:352,19[A  ]| 
311:352,20['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne assented most feelingly to$4$ the remark$0$; and 
311:352,21['  ]| her mother was led by$4$ it to$4$ an enumeration of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's 
311:352,22['  ]| injuries and merits, warm$2$ as friendship and 
311:352,23['  ]| design$0$ could unitedly dictate$1$.  Her daughter did not 
311:352,24['  ]| look$1$, however, as if much of it were heard by$4$ her. 
311:352,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, according to$4$ her expectation, saw on$4$ the two 
311:352,26['  ]| or three following days, that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne did not continue 
311:352,27['  ]| to$9$ gain$1$ strength as she had done; but while$3$ her resolution 
311:352,28['  ]| was unsubdued, and she still$5$ tried to$9$ appear cheerful 
311:352,29['  ]| and easy, her sister could safely trust$1$ to$4$ the effect$0$ of 
311:352,30['  ]| time upon$4$ her health. 
311:352,31['  ]| $SS#E$Margaret returned, and the family were again all 
311:352,32['  ]| restored to$4$ each other, again quietly settled at the 
311:352,33['  ]| cottage, and if not pursuing their usual studies with quite 
311:352,34['  ]| so$5#1$ much vigour as when they first came to$4$ Barton, at 
311:352,35['  ]| least planning a vigorous prosecution of them in$4$ future. 
311:352,36['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor grew impatient for$4$ some tidings of $SS#B$Edward. 
311:352,37['  ]| She had heard nothing of him since her leaving London, 
311:352,38['  ]| nothing new of his plans, nothing certain even$5$ of his 
311:353,01['  ]| present$2$ abode.  Some letters had passed between her 
311:353,02['  ]| and her brother, in$4$ consequence of $SS#C$Marianne's illness; 
311:353,03['  ]| and in$4$ the first of $SS#F$John's, there had been this sentence: 
311:353,04[F  ]| ~~ "We know nothing of our unfortunate $SS#B$Edward, and 
311:353,05[F  ]| can make$1$ no$2$ inquiries on$4$ so$5#1$ prohibited a subject$0$, but 
311:353,06[F  ]| conclude him to$9$ be still$5$ at Oxford;" 
311:353,06['  ]| which$6#1$ was all the 
311:353,07['  ]| intelligence of $SS#B$Edward afforded her by$4$ the correspondence, 
311:353,08['  ]| for$3$ his name$0$ was not even$5$ mentioned in$4$ any of 
311:353,09['  ]| the succeeding letters.  She was not doomed, however, 
311:353,10['  ]| to$9$ be long in$4$ ignorance of his measures. 
311:353,11['  ]| Their man-servant had been sent one morning to$4$ 
311:353,12['  ]| Exeter on$4$ business; and when, as he waited at table, 
311:353,13['  ]| he had satisfied the inquiries of his mistress as to$4$ the 
311:353,14['  ]| event of his errand, this was his voluntary communication ~~
311:353,15['  ]| 
311:353,16[W  ]| "I suppose you know ma'am, that$3$ $SS#J$Mr%*Ferrars is 
311:353,17[W  ]| married." 
311:353,18['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne gave a violent start$0$, fixed her eyes upon$4$ 
311:353,19['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, saw her turning pale, and fell back$5$ in$4$ her 
311:353,20['  ]| chair in$4$ hysterics.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, whose$6#1$ eyes, as she 
311:353,21['  ]| answered the servant's inquiry, had intuitively taken 
311:353,22['  ]| the same direction, was shocked to$9$ perceive by$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's 
311:353,23['  ]| countenance how much she really suffered, and in$4$ a 
311:353,24['  ]| moment afterwards, alike distressed by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's 
311:353,25['  ]| situation, knew not on$4$ which$6#1$ child to$9$ bestow her 
311:353,26['  ]| principal$2$ attention. 
311:353,27['  ]| The servant, who$6#1$ saw only that$3$ $SS#C$Miss*Marianne was 
311:353,28['  ]| taken ill, had sense enough to$9$ call$1$ one of the maids, who$6#1$, 
311:353,29['  ]| with $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's assistance, supported her into 
311:353,30['  ]| the other room.  By$4$ that$6#2$ time, $SS#C$Marianne was rather 
311:353,31['  ]| better, and her mother leaving her to$4$ the care$0$ of $SS#E$Margaret 
311:353,32['  ]| and the maid, returned to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$, though still$5$ much 
311:353,33['  ]| disordered, had so$5#1$ far recovered the use$0$ of her reason$0$ 
311:353,34['  ]| and voice as to$9$ be just$5$ beginning an inquiry of $SS#W$Thomas, 
311:353,35['  ]| as to$4$ the source of his intelligence.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
311:353,36['  ]| immediately took all that$6#2$ trouble$0$ on$4$ herself; and 
311:353,37['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor had the benefit of the information without the 
311:353,38['  ]| exertion of seeking it. 
311:354,01[D  ]| "Who$6#2$ told you that$3$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars was married, 
311:354,02[D  ]| $SS#W$Thomas?" 
311:354,03[W  ]| "I see $SS#J$Mr%*Ferrars myself, ma'am, this morning in$4$ 
311:354,04[W  ]| Exeter, and his lady too$5#2$, $SS#Q$Miss*Steele as was.  They was 
311:354,05[W  ]| stopping in$4$ a chaise at the door of the New*London*Inn, 
311:354,06[W  ]| as I went there with a message from $SS#ZZA$Sally at the Park 
311:354,07[W  ]| to$4$ her brother, who$6#1$ is one of the post-boys.  I happened 
311:354,08[W  ]| to$9$ look$1$ up$5$ as I went by$4$ the chaise, and so$3$ I see directly 
311:354,09[W  ]| it was the youngest $SS#Q$Miss*Steele; so$3$ I took off my hat, and 
311:354,10[W  ]| she knew me and called to$4$ me, and inquired after$4$ you, 
311:354,11[W  ]| ma'am, and the young ladies, especially $SS#C$Miss*Marianne, 
311:354,12[W  ]| and bid me I should give her compliments and $SS#J$Mr%*Ferrars's, 
311:354,13[W  ]| their best compliments and service, and how 
311:354,14[W  ]| sorry they was they had not time to$9$ come on$5$ and see you, 
311:354,15[W  ]| but they was in$4$ a great hurry$0$ to$9$ go forwards, for$3$ they 
311:354,16[W  ]| was going further down$5$ for$4$ a little while$0$, but howsever, 
311:354,17[W  ]| when they come back$5$, they'd make$1$ sure to$9$ come and 
311:354,18[W  ]| see you." 
311:354,19[D  ]| "But did she tell you she was married, $SS#W$Thomas?" 
311:354,20[W  ]| "Yes, ma'am.  She smiled, and said how she had 
311:354,21[W  ]| changed her name$0$ since she was in$4$ these parts.  She was 
311:354,22[W  ]| always a very affable and free-spoken young lady, and 
311:354,23[W  ]| very civil behaved.  So$3$, I made free to$9$ wish$1$ her joy." 
311:354,24[D  ]| "Was $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars in$4$ the carriage with her?" 
311:354,25[W  ]| "Yes, ma'am, I just$5$ see him leaning back$5$ in$4$ it, but 
311:354,26[W  ]| he did not look$1$ up$5$; ~~ he never was a gentleman much 
311:354,27[W  ]| for$4$ talking." 
311:354,28['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's heart could easily account$1$ for$4$ his not putting 
311:354,29['  ]| himself forward$5$; and $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood probably found 
311:354,30['  ]| the same explanation. 
311:354,31[D  ]| "Was there no*one else in$4$ the carriage?" 
311:354,32[W  ]| "No$7$, ma'am, only they two." 
311:354,33[D  ]| "Do you know where they came from?" 
311:354,34[W  ]| "They come straight from town, as $SS#Q$Miss*Lucy ~~ $SS#Q$Mrs%*Ferrars 
311:354,35[W  ]| told me." 
311:354,36[D  ]| "And are going farther westward?" 
311:354,37[W  ]| "Yes, ma'am ~~ but not to$9$ bide long.  They will$1$ soon 
311:354,38[W  ]| be back$5$ again, and then they'd be sure and call$1$ here." 
311:355,01['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood now looked at her daughter; but 
311:355,02['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor knew better than to$9$ expect them.  She recognised 
311:355,03['  ]| the whole$0$ of $SS#Q$Lucy in$4$ the message, and was very confident 
311:355,04['  ]| that$3$ $SS#B$Edward would never come near$4$ them.  She observed, 
311:355,05['  ]| in$4$ a low voice, to$4$ her mother, that$3$ they were probably 
311:355,06['  ]| going down$5$ to$4$ $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt's, near$4$ Plymouth. 
311:355,07['  ]| $SS#W$Thomas's intelligence seemed over.  $SS#A$Elinor looked as 
311:355,08['  ]| if she wished to$9$ hear more. 
311:355,09[D  ]| "Did you see them off, before$3$ you came away?" 
311:355,10[W  ]| "No$7$, ma'am ~~ the horses was just$5$ coming out$5$, but 
311:355,11[W  ]| I could not bide any longer; I was afraid of being$1$ late." 
311:355,12[D  ]| "Did $SS#Q$Mrs%*Ferrars look$1$ well$5$?" 
311:355,13[W  ]| "Yes, ma'am, she said how she was very well$5$; and 
311:355,14[W  ]| to$4$ my mind$0$ she was always a very handsome young 
311:355,15[W  ]| lady ~~ and she seemed vastly contented." 
311:355,16['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood could think of no$2$ other question$0$, and 
311:355,17['  ]| $SS#W$Thomas and the table-cloth, now alike needless, were 
311:355,18['  ]| soon afterwards dismissed.  $SS#C$Marianne had already 
311:355,19['  ]| sent to$9$ say that$3$ she should eat nothing more.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's 
311:355,20['  ]| and $SS#A$Elinor's appetites were equally lost, 
311:355,21['  ]| and $SS#E$Margaret might think herself very well$5$ off, that$3$ 
311:355,22['  ]| with so$5#1$ much uneasiness as both her sisters had lately 
311:355,23['  ]| experienced, so$5#1$ much reason$0$ as they had often had to$9$ 
311:355,24['  ]| be careless of their meals, she had never been obliged 
311:355,25['  ]| to$9$ go without her dinner before$5$. 
311:355,26['  ]| When the dessert and the wine were arranged, and 
311:355,27['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood and $SS#A$Elinor were left by$4$ themselves, 
311:355,28['  ]| they remained long together in$4$ a similarity of thoughtfulness 
311:355,29['  ]| and silence$0$.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood feared to$9$ hazard$1$ 
311:355,30['  ]| any remark$0$, and ventured not to$9$ offer$1$ consolation. 
311:355,31['  ]| She now found that$3$ she had erred in$4$ relying on$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's 
311:355,32['  ]| representation of herself; and justly concluded that$3$ 
311:355,33['  ]| every*thing had been expressly softened at the time, 
311:355,34['  ]| to$9$ spare$1$ her from an increase$0$ of unhappiness, suffering 
311:355,35['  ]| as she then had suffered for$4$ $SS#C$Marianne.  She found that$3$ 
311:355,36['  ]| she had been misled by$4$ the careful, the considerate 
311:355,37['  ]| attention of her daughter, to$9$ think the attachment, 
311:355,38['  ]| which$6#1$ once she had so$5#1$ well$5$ understood, much slighter 
311:356,01['  ]| in$4$ reality, than she had been wont to$9$ believe, or than it 
311:356,02['  ]| was now proved to$9$ be.  She feared that$3$ under this 
311:356,03['  ]| persuasion she had been unjust, inattentive, nay, almost 
311:356,04['  ]| unkind, to$4$ her $SS#A$Elinor; ~~ that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne's affliction, 
311:356,05['  ]| because more acknowledged, more immediately before$4$ 
311:356,06['  ]| her, had too$5#1$ much engrossed her tenderness, and led her 
311:356,07['  ]| away to$9$ forget that$3$ in$4$ $SS#A$Elinor she might have a daughter 
311:356,08['  ]| suffering almost as much, certainly with less self-provocation, 
311:356,09['  ]| and greater fortitude. 
312:357,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor now found the difference between the expectation 
312:357,02['  ]| of an unpleasant event, however certain the mind$0$ 
312:357,03['  ]| may$1$ be told to$9$ consider it, and certainty itself.  She 
312:357,04['  ]| now found, that$3$ in$4$ spite$8$ of herself, 
312:357,04@a   | she had always 
312:357,05@a   | admitted a hope$0$, while$3$ $SS#B$Edward remained single, that$3$ 
312:357,06@a   | something would occur to$9$ prevent his marrying $SS#Q$Lucy; 
312:357,07@a   | that$3$ some resolution of his own$2$, some mediation of 
312:357,08@a   | friends, or some more eligible opportunity of establishment 
312:357,09@a   | for$4$ the lady, would arise to$9$ assist the happiness 
312:357,10@a   | of all. 
312:357,10['  ]| But he was now married, and she condemned her 
312:357,11['  ]| heart for$4$ the lurking flattery, which$6#1$ so$5#1$ much heightened 
312:357,12['  ]| the pain$0$ of the intelligence. 
312:357,13['  ]| That$3$ he should be married so$5#1$ soon, before$3$ (as she 
312:357,14['  ]| imagined) he could be in$4$ orders$0#2$, and consequently before$3$ 
312:357,15['  ]| he could be in$4$ possession of the living, surprised her 
312:357,16['  ]| a little at first.  But she soon saw how likely it was that$3$ 
312:357,17['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy, in$4$ her self-provident care$0$, in$4$ her haste to$9$ secure$1$ 
312:357,18['  ]| him, should overlook every*thing but the risk$0$ of delay$0$. 
312:357,19@a   | They were married, married in$4$ town, and now hastening 
312:357,20@a   | down$5$ to$4$ her uncle's.  What had $SS#B$Edward felt on$4$ being$1$ 
312:357,21@a   | within four miles of Barton, on$4$ seeing her mother's 
312:357,22@a   | servant, on$4$ hearing $SS#Q$Lucy's message! 
312:357,23@a   | They would soon, 
312:357,23['  ]| she supposed, 
312:357,23@a   | be settled at Delaford. 
312:357,24@a   | ~~ Delaford, ~~ that$6#2$ place$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ so$5#1$ much conspired to$9$ 
312:357,25@a   | give her an interest$0$; which$6#1$ she wished to$9$ be acquainted 
312:357,26@a   | with, and yet desired to$9$ avoid.  She saw them in$4$ an instant$0$ 
312:357,27@a   | in$4$ their parsonage-house; saw in$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy, the active, 
312:357,28@a   | contriving manager, uniting at once a desire$0$ of smart 
312:357,29@a   | appearance, with the utmost frugality, and ashamed 
312:357,30@a   | to$9$ be suspected of half her economical practices; ~~ 
312:357,31@a   | pursuing her own$2$ interest$0$ in$4$ every thought$0$, courting 
312:357,32@a   | the favour$0$ of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, of $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, and 
312:357,33@a   | of every wealthy friend. 
312:357,33['  ]| In$4$ $SS#B$Edward ~~ she knew not 
312:358,01['  ]| what she saw, nor what she wished to$9$ see; ~~ happy or 
312:358,02['  ]| unhappy, ~~ nothing pleased her; she turned away her 
312:358,03['  ]| head$0$ from every sketch of him. 
312:358,04['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor flattered herself that$3$ some one of their connections 
312:358,05['  ]| in$4$ London would write to$4$ them to$9$ announce the 
312:358,06['  ]| event, and give farther particulars, ~~ but day after$4$ day 
312:358,07['  ]| passed off, and brought no$2$ letter, no$2$ tidings.  Though 
312:358,08['  ]| uncertain that$3$ any*one were to$9$ blame$1$, she found fault 
312:358,09['  ]| with every absent friend.  
312:358,09@a   | They were all thoughtless or 
312:358,10@a   | indolent. 
312:358,11[A  ]| "When do you write to$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, ma'am?" 
312:358,12['  ]| was an inquiry which$6#1$ sprung from the impatience of 
312:358,13['  ]| her mind$0$ to$9$ have something going on$5$. 
312:358,14[D  ]| "I wrote to$4$ him, my love$0$, last$2$ week, and rather 
312:358,15[D  ]| expect to$9$ see, than to$9$ hear from him again.  I earnestly 
312:358,16[D  ]| pressed his coming to$4$ us, and should not be surprised to$9$ 
312:358,17[D  ]| see him walk$1$ in$5$ to-day or to-morrow, or any day." 
312:358,18['  ]| This was gaining something, something to$9$ look$1$ forward$5$ 
312:358,19['  ]| to$4$.  $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon \must\ have some information to$9$ give. 
312:358,20['  ]| Scarcely had she so$5#2$ determined it, when the figure 
312:358,21['  ]| of a man on$4$ horseback drew her eyes to$4$ the window.  He 
312:358,22['  ]| stopt at their gate. 
312:358,22@a   | It was a gentleman, it was $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
312:358,23@a   | himself.  Now she should hear more; and she 
312:358,24@a   | trembled in$4$ expectation of it.  But ~~ it was \not\ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
312:358,25@a   | ~~ neither his air ~~ nor his height.  Were it 
312:358,26@a   | possible, she should say it must be $SS#B$Edward.  
312:358,26['  ]| She 
312:358,27['  ]| looked again.  
312:358,27@a   | He had just$5$ dismounted; ~~ she could 
312:358,28@a   | not be mistaken; ~~ it \was\ $SS#B$Edward.  
312:358,28['  ]| She moved away 
312:358,29['  ]| and sat down$5$. 
312:358,29[A  ]| "He comes from $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt's purposely 
312:358,30[A  ]| to$9$ see us.  I \will$1$\ be calm$2$; I \will$1$\ be mistress of myself." 
312:358,31['  ]| In$4$ a moment she perceived that$3$ the others were 
312:358,32['  ]| likewise aware of the mistake$0$.  She saw her mother and 
312:358,33['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne change$1$ colour; saw them look$1$ at herself, and 
312:358,34['  ]| whisper$1$ a few sentences to$4$ each other.  She would have 
312:358,35['  ]| given the world to$9$ be able to$9$ speak ~~ and to$9$ make$1$ them 
312:358,36['  ]| understand that$3$ she hoped no$2$ coolness, no$2$ slight$0$, would 
312:358,37['  ]| appear in$4$ their behaviour to$4$ him; ~~ but she had no$2$ utterance, 
312:358,38['  ]| and was obliged to$9$ leave$1$ all to$4$ their own$2$ discretion. 
312:359,01['  ]| Not a syllable passed aloud.  They all waited in$4$ silence$0$ 
312:359,02['  ]| for$4$ the appearance of their visitor.  His footsteps were 
312:359,03['  ]| heard along$4$ the gravel path; in$4$ a moment he was in$4$ 
312:359,04['  ]| the passage; and in$4$ another, he was before$4$ them. 
312:359,05['  ]| His countenance, as he entered the room, was not 
312:359,06['  ]| too$5#1$ happy, even$5$ for$4$ $SS#A$Elinor.  His complexion was white 
312:359,07['  ]| with agitation, and he looked as if fearful of his reception, 
312:359,08['  ]| and conscious that$3$ he merited no$2$ kind$2$ one.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, 
312:359,09['  ]| however, conforming, as she trusted, to$4$ the 
312:359,10['  ]| wishes$0$ of that$6#2$ daughter, by$4$ whom$6#1$ she then meant in$4$ 
312:359,11['  ]| the warmth of her heart to$9$ be guided in$4$ everything, 
312:359,12['  ]| met him with a look$0$ of forced complacency, gave him 
312:359,13['  ]| her hand$0$, and wished him joy. 
312:359,14['  ]| He coloured, and stammered out$5$ an unintelligible 
312:359,15['  ]| reply$0$.  $SS#A$Elinor's lips had moved with her mother's, and 
312:359,16['  ]| when the moment of action was over, she wished that$3$ 
312:359,17['  ]| she had shaken hands with him too$5#2$.  But it was then too$5#1$ 
312:359,18['  ]| late, and with a countenance meaning to$9$ be open$2$, she 
312:359,19['  ]| sat down$5$ again and talked of the weather. 
312:359,20['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne had retreated as much as possible out$5$ of 
312:359,21['  ]| sight, to$9$ conceal her distress$0$; and $SS#E$Margaret, understanding 
312:359,22['  ]| some part$0$, but not the whole$0$, of the case, 
312:359,23['  ]| thought$1$ it incumbent on$4$ her to$9$ be dignified, and therefore 
312:359,24['  ]| took a seat as far from him as she could, and 
312:359,25['  ]| maintained a strict silence$0$. 
312:359,26['  ]| When $SS#A$Elinor had ceased to$9$ rejoice in$4$ the dryness of 
312:359,27['  ]| the season, a very awful pause$0$ took place$0$.  It was put 
312:359,28['  ]| an end$0$ to$5$ by$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, who$6#1$ felt obliged 
312:359,28@d   | to$9$ hope$1$ 
312:359,29@d   | that$3$ he had left $SS#Q$Mrs%*Ferrars very well$5$. 
312:359,29['  ]| In$4$ an hurried 
312:359,30['  ]| manner, he replied in$4$ the affirmative. 
312:359,31['  ]| Another pause$0$. 
312:359,32['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor, resolving to$9$ exert herself, though fearing the 
312:359,33['  ]| sound$0$ of her own$2$ voice, now said, 
312:359,34[A  ]| "Is $SS#Q$Mrs%*Ferrars at Longstaple?" 
312:359,35[B  ]| "At Longstaple!" 
312:359,35['  ]| he replied, with an air of surprise$0$ ~~ 
312:359,36[B  ]| "No$7$, my mother is in$4$ town." 
312:359,37[A  ]| "I meant," 
312:359,37['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, taking up$5$ some work$0$ from 
312:359,38['  ]| the table, 
312:359,38[A  ]| "to$9$ inquire after$4$ $SS#Q$Mrs%*\Edward\*Ferrars." 
312:360,01['  ]| She dared not look$1$ up$5$; ~~ but her mother and $SS#C$Marianne 
312:360,02['  ]| both turned their eyes on$4$ him.  He coloured, seemed 
312:360,03['  ]| perplexed, looked doubtingly, and after$4$ some hesitation, 
312:360,04['  ]| said, 
312:360,05[B  ]| "Perhaps you mean$1$ ~~ my brother ~~ you mean$1$ $SS#Q$Mrs% 
312:360,06[B  ]| ~~ $SS#Q$Mrs%*\Robert\*Ferrars." 
312:360,07[Y  ]| "$SS#Q$Mrs%*Robert*Ferrars!" ~~ 
312:360,07['  ]| was repeated by$4$ $SS#C$Marianne 
312:360,08['  ]| and her mother, in$4$ an accent of the utmost amazement; 
312:360,09['  ]| ~~ and though $SS#A$Elinor could not speak, even$5$ \her\ eyes 
312:360,10['  ]| were fixed on$4$ him with the same impatient wonder$0$.  He 
312:360,11['  ]| rose$1$ from his seat and walked to$4$ the window, apparently 
312:360,12['  ]| from not knowing what to$9$ do; took up$5$ a pair$0$ of scissars 
312:360,13['  ]| that$6#1$ lay$1#2$ there, and while$4$ spoiling both them and their 
312:360,14['  ]| sheath by$4$ cutting the latter to$4$ pieces as he spoke, said, 
312:360,15['  ]| in$4$ an hurried voice, 
312:360,16[B  ]| "Perhaps you do not know ~~ you may$1$ not have 
312:360,17[B  ]| heard that$3$ my brother is lately married to$4$ ~~ to$4$ the 
312:360,18[B  ]| youngest ~~ to$4$ $SS#Q$Miss*Lucy*Steele." 
312:360,19['  ]| His words were echoed with unspeakable astonishment 
312:360,20['  ]| by$4$ all but $SS#A$Elinor, who$6#1$ sat with her head$0$ leaning 
312:360,21['  ]| over her work$0$, in$4$ a state$0$ of such agitation as made her 
312:360,22['  ]| hardly know where she was. 
312:360,23[B  ]| "Yes," 
312:360,23['  ]| said he, 
312:360,23[B  ]| "they were married last$2$ week, and 
312:360,24[B  ]| are now at Dawlish." 
312:360,25['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor could sit it no$2$ longer.  She almost ran out$5$ of 
312:360,26['  ]| the room, and as soon as the door was closed, burst$1$ into 
312:360,27['  ]| tears of joy, which$6#1$ at first she thought$1$ would never cease. 
312:360,28['  ]| $SS#B$Edward, who$6#1$ had till then looked any*where, rather 
312:360,29['  ]| than at her, saw her hurry$1$ away, and perhaps saw ~~ 
312:360,30['  ]| or even$5$ heard, her emotion; for$3$ immediately afterwards 
312:360,31['  ]| he fell into a reverie, which$6#1$ no$2$ remarks, no$2$ inquiries, 
312:360,32['  ]| no$2$ affectionate address$0$ of $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood could penetrate, 
312:360,33['  ]| and at last$0$, without saying a word, quitted the room, 
312:360,34['  ]| and walked out$5$ towards the village ~~ leaving the others 
312:360,35['  ]| in$4$ the greatest astonishment and perplexity on$4$ a change$0$ 
312:360,36['  ]| in$4$ his situation, so$5#1$ wonderful and so$5#1$ sudden$2$; ~~ a perplexity 
312:360,37['  ]| which$6#1$ they had no$2$ means$0$ of lessening but by$4$ 
312:360,38['  ]| their own$2$ conjectures$0$. 
313:361,01['  ]| Unaccountable, however, as the circumstances of 
313:361,02['  ]| his release$0$ might appear to$4$ the whole$2$ family, it was 
313:361,03['  ]| certain that$3$ $SS#B$Edward was free:  and to$4$ what purpose 
313:361,04['  ]| that$6#2$ freedom would be employed was easily pre-determined 
313:361,05['  ]| by$4$ all; ~~ for$3$ after$4$ experiencing the blessings of 
313:361,06['  ]| \one\ imprudent engagement, contracted without his 
313:361,07['  ]| mother's consent$0$, as he had already done for$4$ more than 
313:361,08['  ]| four years, nothing less could be expected of him in$4$ the 
313:361,09['  ]| failure of \that$6#2$\, than the immediate contraction of another. 
313:361,10['  ]| His errand at Barton, in$4$ fact, was a simple$2$ one.  It 
313:361,11['  ]| was only to$9$ ask $SS#A$Elinor to$9$ marry him; ~~ and considering 
313:361,12['  ]| that$3$ he was not altogether inexperienced in$4$ such a 
313:361,13['  ]| question$0$, it might be strange that$3$ he should feel so$5#1$ 
313:361,14['  ]| uncomfortable in$4$ the present$2$ case as he really did, so$5#1$ 
313:361,15['  ]| much in$4$ need$0$ of encouragement and fresh air. 
313:361,16['  ]| How soon he had walked himself into the proper 
313:361,17['  ]| resolution, however, how soon an opportunity of exercising 
313:361,18['  ]| it occurred, in$4$ what manner he expressed himself, 
313:361,19['  ]| and how he was received, need$1$ not be particularly told. 
313:361,20['  ]| This only need$1$ be said; ~~ that$3$ when they all sat down$5$ 
313:361,21['  ]| to$4$ table at four o'clock, about$4$ three hours after$4$ his arrival, 
313:361,22['  ]| he had secured his lady, engaged her mother's consent$0$, 
313:361,23['  ]| and was not only in$4$ the rapturous profession$0#1$ of the lover, 
313:361,24['  ]| but in$4$ the reality of reason$0$ and truth, one of the happiest 
313:361,25['  ]| of men.  His situation indeed was more than commonly 
313:361,26['  ]| joyful.  He had more than the ordinary triumph$0$ of 
313:361,27['  ]| accepted love$0$ to$9$ swell his heart, and raise his spirits. 
313:361,28['  ]| He was released without any reproach$0$ to$4$ himself, from 
313:361,29['  ]| an entanglement which$6#1$ had long formed his misery, 
313:361,30['  ]| from a woman whom$6#1$ he had long ceased to$9$ love$1$; ~~ and 
313:361,31['  ]| elevated at once to$4$ that$6#2$ security with another, which$6#1$ 
313:361,32['  ]| he must have thought$1$ of almost with despair$0$, as soon as 
313:361,33['  ]| he had learnt to$9$ consider it with desire$0$.  He was brought, 
313:361,34['  ]| not from doubt$0$ or suspense, but from misery to$4$ happiness; 
313:362,01['  ]| ~~ and the change$0$ was openly spoken in$4$ such 
313:362,02['  ]| a genuine, flowing, grateful cheerfulness, as his friends 
313:362,03['  ]| had never witnessed in$4$ him before$5$. 
313:362,04['  ]| His heart was now open$2$ to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor, all its weaknesses, 
313:362,05['  ]| all its errors confessed, and his first boyish attachment 
313:362,06['  ]| to$4$ $SS#Q$Lucy treated with all the philosophic dignity of 
313:362,07['  ]| twenty-four. 
313:362,08[B  ]| "It was a foolish, idle inclination on$4$ my side$0$," 
313:362,08['  ]| said 
313:362,09['  ]| he, 
313:362,09[B  ]| "the consequence of ignorance of the world ~~ and 
313:362,10[B  ]| want$0$ of employment.  Had my mother given me some 
313:362,11[B  ]| active profession$0#2$ when I was removed at eighteen from 
313:362,12[B  ]| the care$0$ of $SS#ZV$Mr%*Pratt, I think ~~ nay, I am sure, it would 
313:362,13[B  ]| never have happened; for$3$ though I left Longstaple 
313:362,14[B  ]| with what I thought$1$, at the time, a most unconquerable 
313:362,15[B  ]| preference for$4$ his niece, yet had I then had any pursuit, 
313:362,16[B  ]| any object$0$ to$9$ engage my time and keep me at a distance$0$ 
313:362,17[B  ]| from her for$4$ a few months, I should very soon have 
313:362,18[B  ]| outgrown the fancied attachment, especially by$4$ mixing 
313:362,19[B  ]| more with the world, as in$4$ such a case I must have done. 
313:362,20[B  ]| But instead of having anything to$9$ do, instead of having 
313:362,21[B  ]| any profession$0#2$ chosen for$4$ me, or being$1$ allowed to$9$ chuse 
313:362,22[B  ]| any myself, I returned home to$9$ be completely idle; 
313:362,23[B  ]| and for$4$ the first twelvemonth afterwards, I had not 
313:362,24[B  ]| even$5$ the nominal employment, which$6#1$ belonging to$4$ 
313:362,25[B  ]| the university would have given me, for$3$ I was not 
313:362,26[B  ]| entered at Oxford till I was nineteen.  I had therefore 
313:362,27[B  ]| nothing in$4$ the world to$9$ do, but to$9$ fancy$1$ myself in$4$ love$0$; 
313:362,28[B  ]| and as my mother did not make$1$ my home in$4$ every 
313:362,29[B  ]| respect$0$ comfortable, as I had no$2$ friend, no$2$ companion 
313:362,30[B  ]| in$4$ my brother, and disliked new acquaintance, it was 
313:362,31[B  ]| not unnatural for$4$ me to$9$ be very often at Longstaple, 
313:362,32[B  ]| where I always felt myself at home, and was always sure 
313:362,33[B  ]| of a welcome$0$; and accordingly I spent the greatest part$0$ 
313:362,34[B  ]| of my time there from eighteen to$4$ nineteen:  $SS#Q$Lucy 
313:362,35[B  ]| appeared everything that$6#1$ was amiable and obliging. 
313:362,36[B  ]| She was pretty$2$ too$5#2$ ~~ at least I thought$1$ so$5#2$ \then\, and I had 
313:362,37[B  ]| seen so$5#1$ little of other women, that$3$ I could make$1$ no$2$ 
313:362,38[B  ]| comparisons, and see no$2$ defects.  Considering everything, 
313:362,39[B  ]| therefore, I hope$1$, foolish as our engagement was, foolish as 
313:363,01[B  ]| it has since in$4$ every way been proved, it was not at the 
313:363,02[B  ]| time an unnatural, or an inexcusable piece of folly." 
313:363,03['  ]| The change$0$ which$6#1$ a few hours had wrought in$4$ the 
313:363,04['  ]| minds and the happiness of the $SS#D1$Dashwoods, was such ~~ 
313:363,05['  ]| so$5#1$ great ~~ as promised them all, the satisfaction of a 
313:363,06['  ]| sleepless night.  $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, too$5#1$ happy to$9$ be comfortable, 
313:363,07['  ]| knew not how to$9$ love$1$ $SS#B$Edward, nor praise$1$ $SS#A$Elinor 
313:363,08['  ]| enough, how to$9$ be enough thankful for$4$ his release$0$ 
313:363,09['  ]| without wounding his delicacy, nor how at once to$9$ give 
313:363,10['  ]| them leisure for$4$ unrestrained conversation together, and 
313:363,11['  ]| yet enjoy, as she wished, the sight and society of both. 
313:363,12['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne could speak \her\ happiness only by$4$ tears. 
313:363,13['  ]| Comparisons would occur ~~ regrets would arise; ~~ and 
313:363,14['  ]| her joy, though sincere as her love$0$ for$4$ her sister, was of 
313:363,15['  ]| a kind$0$ to$9$ give her neither spirits nor language. 
313:363,16['  ]| But $SS#A$Elinor ~~ How are \her\ feelings to$9$ be described? ~~ 
313:363,17['  ]| From the moment of learning that$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy was married 
313:363,18['  ]| to$4$ another, that$3$ $SS#B$Edward was free, to$4$ the moment of his 
313:363,19['  ]| justifying the hopes$0$ which$6#1$ had so$5#1$ instantly followed, 
313:363,20['  ]| she was everything by$4$ turns$0$ but tranquil.  But when 
313:363,21['  ]| the second$2$ moment had passed, when she found every 
313:363,22['  ]| doubt$0$, every solicitude removed, compared her situation 
313:363,23['  ]| with what so$5#1$ lately it had been, ~~ saw him honourably 
313:363,24['  ]| released from his former engagement, saw him instantly 
313:363,25['  ]| profiting by$4$ the release$0$, to$9$ address$1$ herself and declare 
313:363,26['  ]| an affection as tender$2$, as constant as she had ever supposed 
313:363,27['  ]| it to$9$ be, ~~ she was oppressed, she was overcome 
313:363,28['  ]| by$4$ her own$2$ felicity; ~~ and happily disposed as is the 
313:363,29['  ]| human mind$0$ to$9$ be easily familiarized with any change$0$ 
313:363,30['  ]| for$4$ the better, it required several hours to$9$ give sedateness 
313:363,31['  ]| to$4$ her spirits, or any degree of tranquillity to$4$ her heart. 
313:363,32['  ]| $SS#B$Edward was now fixed at the cottage at least for$4$ a 
313:363,33['  ]| week; ~~ for$3$ whatever other claims might be made on$4$ 
313:363,34['  ]| him, it was impossible that$3$ less than a week should be 
313:363,35['  ]| given up$5$ to$4$ the enjoyment of $SS#A$Elinor's company, or suffice 
313:363,36['  ]| to$9$ say half that$6#1$ was to$9$ be said of the past$0$, the present$0#1$, 
313:363,37['  ]| and the future; ~~ for$3$ though a very few hours spent 
313:363,38['  ]| in$4$ the hard labour of incessant talking will$1$ dispatch 
313:363,39['  ]| more subjects than can really be in$4$ common$0$ between 
313:364,01['  ]| any two rational creatures, yet with lovers it is different. 
313:364,02['  ]| Between \them\ no$2$ subject$0$ is finished, no$2$ communication is 
313:364,03['  ]| even$5$ made, till it has been made at least twenty times over. 
313:364,04['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy's marriage, the unceasing and reasonable wonder$0$ 
313:364,05['  ]| among them all, formed of course$8$ one of the earliest 
313:364,06['  ]| discussions of the lovers; ~~ and $SS#A$Elinor's particular knowledge 
313:364,07['  ]| of each party made it appear to$4$ her in$4$ every view$0$, 
313:364,08['  ]| as one of the most extraordinary and unaccountable 
313:364,09['  ]| circumstances she had ever heard.  How they could be 
313:364,10['  ]| thrown together, and by$4$ what attraction $SS#J$Robert could 
313:364,11['  ]| be drawn on$5$ to$9$ marry a girl, of whose$6#1$ beauty she had 
313:364,12['  ]| herself heard him speak without any admiration, ~~ a girl 
313:364,13['  ]| too$5#2$ already engaged to$4$ his brother, and on$4$ whose$6#1$ account$0$ 
313:364,14['  ]| that$6#2$ brother had been thrown off by$4$ his family ~~ it was 
313:364,15['  ]| beyond$4$ her comprehension to$9$ make$1$ out$5$.  To$4$ her own$2$ 
313:364,16['  ]| heart it was a delightful affair, to$4$ her imagination it was 
313:364,17['  ]| even$5$ a ridiculous one, but to$4$ her reason$0$, her judgment, 
313:364,18['  ]| it was completely a puzzle$0$. 
313:364,19['  ]| $SS#B$Edward could only attempt$1$ an explanation by$4$ supposing, 
313:364,20['  ]| that$3$ perhaps at first accidentally meeting, the 
313:364,21['  ]| vanity of the one had been so$5#1$ worked on$5$ by$4$ the flattery 
313:364,22['  ]| of the other, as to$9$ lead$1$ by$4$ degrees to$4$ all the rest$0#1$.  $SS#A$Elinor 
313:364,23['  ]| remembered what $SS#J$Robert had told her in$4$ Harley-street, 
313:364,24['  ]| of his opinion of what his own$2$ mediation in$4$ his brother's 
313:364,25['  ]| affairs might have done, if applied to$5$ in$4$ time.  She 
313:364,26['  ]| repeated it to$4$ $SS#B$Edward. 
313:364,27[B  ]| "\That$6#2$\ was exactly like$4$ $SS#J$Robert," ~~ 
313:364,27['  ]| was his immediate 
313:364,28['  ]| observation. ~~ 
313:364,28[B  ]| "And \that$6#2$\," 
313:364,28['  ]| he presently added, 
313:364,28[B  ]| "might 
313:364,29[B  ]| perhaps be in$4$ \his\ head$0$ when the acquaintance between 
313:364,30[B  ]| them first began.  And $SS#Q$Lucy perhaps at first might think 
313:364,31[B  ]| only of procuring his good offices in$4$ my favour$0$.  Other 
313:364,32[B  ]| designs might afterwards arise." 
313:364,33['  ]| How long it had been carrying on$5$ between them, 
313:364,34['  ]| however, he was equally at a loss with herself to$9$ make$1$ 
313:364,35['  ]| out$5$; for$3$ at Oxford, where he had remained by$4$ choice$0$ 
313:364,36['  ]| ever since his quitting London, he had had no$2$ means$0$ 
313:364,37['  ]| of hearing of her but from herself, and her letters to$4$ 
313:364,38['  ]| the very last$0$ were neither less frequent, nor less affectionate 
313:364,39['  ]| than usual.  Not the smallest suspicion, therefore, 
313:365,01['  ]| had ever occurred to$9$ prepare him for$4$ what followed; ~~ 
313:365,02['  ]| and when at last$0$ it burst$1$ on$4$ him in$4$ a letter from $SS#Q$Lucy 
313:365,03['  ]| herself, he had been for$4$ some time, he believed, half 
313:365,04['  ]| stupified between the wonder$0$, the horror, and the joy of 
313:365,05['  ]| such a deliverance.  He put the letter into $SS#A$Elinor's hands. 
313:365,06[Q  ]| "Dear$2#1$ Sir, 
313:365,07[Q  ]| Being$1$ very sure I have long lost your affections, 
313:365,08[Q  ]| I have thought$1$ myself at liberty to$9$ bestow my own$2$ on$4$ 
313:365,09[Q  ]| another, and have no$2$ doubt$0$ of being$1$ as happy with him 
313:365,10[Q  ]| as I once used to$9$ think I might be with you; but I scorn 
313:365,11[Q  ]| to$9$ accept a hand$0$ while$3$ the heart was another's.  Sincerely 
313:365,12[Q  ]| wish$1$ you happy in$4$ your choice$0$, and it shall not be my fault 
313:365,13[Q  ]| if we are not always good friends, as our near$2$ relationship 
313:365,14[Q  ]| now makes proper.  I can safely say I owe you no$2$ ill-will, 
313:365,15[Q  ]| and am sure you will$1$ be too$5#1$ generous to$9$ do us any ill 
313:365,16[Q  ]| offices.  Your brother has gained my affections entirely, 
313:365,17[Q  ]| and as we could not live without one another, we are 
313:365,18[Q  ]| just$5$ returned from the altar, and are now on$4$ our way to$4$ 
313:365,19[Q  ]| Dawlish for$4$ a few weeks, which$6#1$ place$0$ your dear$2#1$ brother 
313:365,20[Q  ]| has great curiosity to$9$ see, but thought$1$ I would first 
313:365,21[Q  ]| trouble$1$ you with these few lines, and shall always remain, 
313:365,22[Q  ]| Your sincere well-wisher, friend, and sister, 
313:365,23[Q  ]| $SS#Q$LUCY*FERRARS. 
313:365,24[Q  ]| I have burnt all your letters, and will$1$ return$1$ your 
313:365,25[Q  ]| picture$0$ the first opportunity.  Please to$9$ destroy my 
313:365,26[Q  ]| scrawls ~~ but the ring$0$ with my hair you are very welcome$2$ 
313:365,27[Q  ]| to$9$ keep." 
313:365,28[Q  ]| 
313:365,29['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor read and returned it without any comment. 
313:365,30[B  ]| "I will$1$ not ask your opinion of it as a composition," 
313:365,31['  ]| said $SS#B$Edward. ~~ 
313:365,31[B  ]| "For$4$ worlds would not I have had 
313:365,32[B  ]| a letter of her's seen by$4$ \you\ in$4$ former days. ~~ In$4$ a sister 
313:365,33[B  ]| it is bad enough, but in$4$ a wife! ~~ how I have blushed 
313:365,34[B  ]| over the pages of her writing! ~~ and I believe I may$1$ 
313:365,35[B  ]| say that$3$ since the first half year of our foolish ~~ business 
313:365,36[B  ]| ~~ this is the only letter I ever received from her, of which$6#1$ 
313:365,37[B  ]| the substance made me any amends for$4$ the defect of the 
313:365,38[B  ]| style." 
313:366,01[A  ]| "However it may$1$ have come about$5$," 
313:366,01['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
313:366,02['  ]| after$4$ a pause$0$ ~~ 
313:366,02[A  ]| "they are certainly married.  And your 
313:366,03[A  ]| mother has brought on$4$ herself a most appropriate 
313:366,04[A  ]| punishment.  The independence she settled on$4$ $SS#J$Robert, 
313:366,05[A  ]| through$4$ resentment against you, has put it in$4$ his power 
313:366,06[A  ]| to$9$ make$1$ his own$2$ choice$0$; and she has actually been 
313:366,07[A  ]| bribing one son with a thousand a-year, to$9$ do the very 
313:366,08[A  ]| deed which$6#1$ she disinherited the other for$4$ intending to$9$ 
313:366,09[A  ]| do.  She will$1$ hardly be less hurt, I suppose, by$4$ $SS#J$Robert's 
313:366,10[A  ]| marrying $SS#Q$Lucy, than she would have been by$4$ your 
313:366,11[A  ]| marrying her." 
313:366,12[B  ]| "She will$1$ be more hurt by$4$ it, for$3$ $SS#J$Robert always was 
313:366,13[B  ]| her favourite$0$. ~~ She will$1$ be more hurt by$4$ it, and on$4$ the 
313:366,14[B  ]| same principle will$1$ forgive him much sooner." 
313:366,15['  ]| In$4$ what state$0$ the affair stood at present$0#1$ between 
313:366,16['  ]| them, $SS#B$Edward knew not, for$3$ no$2$ communication with any 
313:366,17['  ]| of his family had yet been attempted by$4$ him.  He had 
313:366,18['  ]| quitted Oxford within four*and*twenty hours after$3$ 
313:366,19['  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy's letter arrived, and with only one object$0$ before$4$ 
313:366,20['  ]| him, the nearest road to$4$ Barton, had had no$2$ leisure to$9$ 
313:366,21['  ]| form$1$ any scheme$0$ of conduct$0$, with which$6#1$ that$6#2$ road did not 
313:366,22['  ]| hold$1$ the most intimate$2$ connection.  He could do nothing 
313:366,23['  ]| till he were assured of his fate with $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood; and 
313:366,24['  ]| by$4$ his rapidity in$4$ seeking \that$6#2$\ fate, it is to$9$ be supposed, 
313:366,25['  ]| in$4$ spite$8$ of the jealousy with which$6#1$ he had once thought$1$ 
313:366,26['  ]| of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, in$4$ spite$8$ of the modesty with which$6#1$ 
313:366,27['  ]| he rated his own$2$ deserts, and the politeness with which$6#1$ 
313:366,28['  ]| he talked of his doubts$0$, he did not, upon$4$ the whole$0$, 
313:366,29['  ]| expect a very cruel reception.  It was his business, however, 
313:366,30['  ]| to$9$ say that$3$ he \did\, and he said it very prettily. 
313:366,31['  ]| What he might say on$4$ the subject$0$ a twelvemonth after$5$, 
313:366,32['  ]| must be referred to$4$ the imagination of husbands and 
313:366,33['  ]| wives. 
313:366,34['  ]| That$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy had certainly meant to$9$ deceive, to$9$ go off 
313:366,35['  ]| with a flourish of malice against him in$4$ her message 
313:366,36['  ]| by$4$ $SS#W$Thomas, was perfectly clear$2$ to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor; and $SS#B$Edward 
313:366,37['  ]| himself, now thoroughly enlightened on$4$ her character, 
313:366,38['  ]| had no$2$ scruple$0$ in$4$ believing her capable of the utmost 
313:366,39['  ]| meanness of wanton ill-nature.  Though his eyes had 
313:367,01['  ]| been long opened, even$5$ before$3$ his acquaintance with 
313:367,02['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor began, to$4$ her ignorance and a want$0$ of liberality 
313:367,03['  ]| in$4$ some of her opinions ~~ they had been equally imputed, 
313:367,04['  ]| by$4$ him, to$4$ her want$0$ of education; and till her last$2$ letter 
313:367,05['  ]| reached him, he had always believed her to$9$ be a well-disposed, 
313:367,06['  ]| good-hearted girl, and thoroughly attached 
313:367,07['  ]| to$4$ himself.  Nothing but such a persuasion could have 
313:367,08['  ]| prevented his putting an end$0$ to$4$ an engagement, which$6#1$, 
313:367,09['  ]| long before$3$ the discovery of it laid him open$2$ to$4$ his 
313:367,10['  ]| mother's anger$0$, had been a continual source of disquiet 
313:367,11['  ]| and regret$0$ to$4$ him. 
313:367,12[B  ]| "I thought$1$ it my duty," 
313:367,12['  ]| said he, 
313:367,12[B  ]| "independent of 
313:367,13[B  ]| my feelings, to$9$ give her the option of continuing the 
313:367,14[B  ]| engagement or not, when I was renounced by$4$ my mother, 
313:367,15[B  ]| and stood to$4$ all appearance without a friend in$4$ the 
313:367,16[B  ]| world to$9$ assist me.  In$4$ such a situation as that$6#2$, where 
313:367,17[B  ]| there seemed nothing to$9$ tempt the avarice or the vanity 
313:367,18[B  ]| of any living creature, how could I suppose, when she 
313:367,19[B  ]| so$5#1$ earnestly, so$5#1$ warmly insisted on$4$ sharing my fate, 
313:367,20[B  ]| whatever it might be, that$3$ any*thing but the most 
313:367,21[B  ]| disinterested affection was her inducement?  And 
313:367,22[B  ]| even$5$ now, I cannot comprehend on$4$ what motive she 
313:367,23[B  ]| acted, or what fancied advantage it could be to$4$ her, to$9$ 
313:367,24[B  ]| be fettered to$4$ a man for$4$ whom$6#1$ she had not the smallest 
313:367,25[B  ]| regard$0$, and who$6#1$ had only two thousand pounds in$4$ the 
313:367,26[B  ]| world.  She could not foresee that$3$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
313:367,27[B  ]| would give me a living." 
313:367,28[A  ]| "No$7$, but she might suppose that$3$ something would 
313:367,29[A  ]| occur in$4$ your favour$0$; that$3$ your own$2$ family might in$4$ time 
313:367,30[A  ]| relent.  And at any rate$0$, she lost nothing by$4$ continuing 
313:367,31[A  ]| the engagement, for$3$ she has proved that$3$ it fettered 
313:367,32[A  ]| neither her inclination nor her actions.  The connection 
313:367,33[A  ]| was certainly a respectable one, and probably gained 
313:367,34[A  ]| her consideration among her friends; and, if nothing 
313:367,35[A  ]| more advantageous occurred, it would be better for$4$ her 
313:367,36[A  ]| to$9$ marry \you\ than be single." 
313:367,37['  ]| $SS#B$Edward was of course$8$ immediately convinced that$3$ 
313:367,38['  ]| nothing could have been more natural$2$ than $SS#Q$Lucy's conduct$0$, 
313:367,39['  ]| nor more self-evident than the motive of it. 
313:368,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor scolded him, harshly as ladies always scold the 
313:368,02['  ]| imprudence which$6#1$ compliments themselves, for$4$ having 
313:368,03['  ]| spent so$5#1$ much time with them at Norland, when he 
313:368,04['  ]| must have felt his own$2$ inconstancy. 
313:368,05[A  ]| "Your behaviour was certainly very wrong," 
313:368,05['  ]| said she, 
313:368,06[A  ]| "because ~~ to$9$ say nothing of my own$2$ conviction, our 
313:368,07[A  ]| relations were all led away by$4$ it to$9$ fancy$1$ and expect 
313:368,08[A  ]| \what\, as you were \then\ situated, could never be." 
313:368,09['  ]| He could only plead an ignorance of his own$2$ heart, 
313:368,10['  ]| and a mistaken confidence in$4$ the force$0$ of his engagement. 
313:368,11[B  ]| "I was simple$2$ enough to$9$ think, that$3$ because my \faith\ 
313:368,12[B  ]| was plighted to$4$ another, there could be no$2$ danger in$4$ 
313:368,13[B  ]| my being$1$ with you; and that$3$ the consciousness of my 
313:368,14[B  ]| engagement was to$9$ keep my heart as safe and sacred as 
313:368,15[B  ]| my honour$0$.  I felt that$3$ I admired you, but I told myself 
313:368,16[B  ]| it was only friendship; and till I began to$9$ make$1$ comparisons 
313:368,17[B  ]| between yourself and $SS#Q$Lucy, I did not know how 
313:368,18[B  ]| far I was got.  After$4$ that$6#2$, I suppose, I \was\ wrong in$4$ 
313:368,19[B  ]| remaining so$5#1$ much in$4$ Sussex, and the arguments with 
313:368,20[B  ]| which$6#1$ I reconciled myself to$4$ the expediency of it, were 
313:368,21[B  ]| no$2$ better than these: ~~ The danger is my own$2$; I am 
313:368,22[B  ]| doing no$2$ injury to$4$ anybody but myself." 
313:368,23['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor smiled, and shook her head$0$. 
313:368,24['  ]| $SS#B$Edward heard with pleasure of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's 
313:368,25['  ]| being$1$ expected at the Cottage, as he really wished not 
313:368,26['  ]| only to$9$ be better acquainted with him, but to$9$ have 
313:368,27['  ]| an opportunity of convincing him that$3$ he no$2$ longer 
313:368,28['  ]| resented his giving him the living of Delaford ~~ 
313:368,28[B  ]| "Which$6#1$, 
313:368,29[B  ]| at present$0#1$," 
313:368,29['  ]| said he, 
313:368,29[B  ]| "after$4$ thanks so$5#1$ ungraciously 
313:368,30[B  ]| delivered as mine$6$ were on$4$ the occasion$0$, he must think 
313:368,31[B  ]| I have never forgiven him for$4$ offering." 
313:368,32['  ]| \Now\ he felt astonished himself that$3$ he had never yet 
313:368,33['  ]| been to$4$ the place$0$.  But so$5#1$ little interest$0$ had he taken 
313:368,34['  ]| in$4$ the matter, that$3$ he owed all his knowledge of the 
313:368,35['  ]| house, garden, and glebe, extent of the parish, condition$0$ 
313:368,36['  ]| of the land, and rate$0$ of the tythes, to$4$ $SS#A$Elinor herself, 
313:368,37['  ]| who$6#1$ had heard so$5#1$ much of it from $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, 
313:368,38['  ]| and heard it with so$5#1$ much attention, as to$9$ be entirely 
313:368,39['  ]| mistress of the subject$0$. 
313:369,01['  ]| One question$0$ after$4$ this only remained undecided, 
313:369,02['  ]| between them, one difficulty only was to$9$ be overcome. 
313:369,03['  ]| They were brought together by$4$ mutual affection, with 
313:369,04['  ]| the warmest approbation of their real friends, their 
313:369,05['  ]| intimate$2$ knowledge of each other seemed to$9$ make$1$ their 
313:369,06['  ]| happiness certain ~~ and they only wanted something 
313:369,07['  ]| to$9$ live upon$4$.  $SS#B$Edward had two thousand pounds, and 
313:369,08['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor one, which$6#1$, with Delaford living, was all that$6#1$ they 
313:369,09['  ]| could call$1$ their own$2$; for$3$ it was impossible that$3$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood 
313:369,10['  ]| should advance$1$ anything, and they were 
313:369,11['  ]| neither of them quite enough in$4$ love$0$ to$9$ think that$3$ three 
313:369,12['  ]| hundred and fifty pounds a-year would supply$1$ them 
313:369,13['  ]| with the comforts of life. 
313:369,14['  ]| $SS#B$Edward was not entirely without hopes$0$ of some 
313:369,15['  ]| favourable change$0$ in$4$ his mother towards him; and on$4$ 
313:369,16['  ]| \that$6#2$\ he rested for$4$ the residue of their income.  But $SS#A$Elinor 
313:369,17['  ]| had no$2$ such dependance; for$3$ since $SS#B$Edward would still$5$ 
313:369,18['  ]| be unable to$9$ marry $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton, and his chusing herself 
313:369,19['  ]| had been spoken of in$4$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's flattering language 
313:369,20['  ]| as only a lesser evil than his chusing $SS#Q$Lucy*Steele, she 
313:369,21['  ]| feared that$3$ $SS#J$Robert's offence would serve no$2$ other 
313:369,22['  ]| purpose than to$9$ enrich $SS#G$Fanny. 
313:369,23['  ]| About$4$ four days after$4$ $SS#B$Edward's arrival, $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
313:369,24['  ]| appeared, to$9$ complete$1$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood's satisfaction, 
313:369,25['  ]| and to$9$ give her the dignity of having, for$4$ the 
313:369,26['  ]| first time since her living at Barton, more company with 
313:369,27['  ]| her than her house would hold$1$.  $SS#B$Edward was allowed 
313:369,28['  ]| to$9$ retain the privilege of first comer, and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
313:369,29['  ]| therefore walked every night to$4$ his old quarters at the 
313:369,30['  ]| Park; from whence he usually returned in$4$ the morning, 
313:369,31['  ]| early enough to$9$ interrupt the lovers' first te^te-a`-te^te 
313:369,32['  ]| before$4$ breakfast$0$. 
313:369,33['  ]| A three weeks' residence at Delaford, where, in$4$ his 
313:369,34['  ]| evening hours at least, he had little to$9$ do but to$9$ calculate 
313:369,35['  ]| the disproportion between thirty-six and seventeen, 
313:369,36['  ]| brought him to$4$ Barton in$4$ a temper of mind$0$ which$6#1$ 
313:369,37['  ]| needed all the improvement in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne's looks$0$, all 
313:369,38['  ]| the kindness of her welcome$0$, and all the encouragement 
313:369,39['  ]| of her mother's language, to$9$ make$1$ it cheerful. 
313:370,01['  ]| Among such friends, however, and such flattery, he did 
313:370,02['  ]| revive.  No$2$ rumour of $SS#Q$Lucy's marriage had yet reached 
313:370,03['  ]| him; ~~ he knew nothing of what had passed; and the 
313:370,04['  ]| first hours of his visit$0$ were consequently spent in$4$ hearing 
313:370,05['  ]| and in$4$ wondering.  Every*thing was explained to$4$ him 
313:370,06['  ]| by$4$ $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood, and he found fresh reason$0$ to$9$ rejoice 
313:370,07['  ]| in$4$ what he had done for$4$ $SS#B$Mr%*Ferrars, since eventually it 
313:370,08['  ]| promoted the interest$0$ of $SS#A$Elinor. 
313:370,09['  ]| It would be needless to$9$ say, that$3$ the gentlemen 
313:370,10['  ]| advanced in$4$ the good opinion of each other, as they 
313:370,11['  ]| advanced in$4$ each other's acquaintance, for$3$ it could not 
313:370,12['  ]| be otherwise.  Their resemblance in$4$ good principles and 
313:370,13['  ]| good sense, in$4$ disposition and manner of thinking, would 
313:370,14['  ]| probably have been sufficient to$9$ unite them in$4$ friendship, 
313:370,15['  ]| without any other attraction; but their being$1$ in$4$ love$0$ 
313:370,16['  ]| with two sisters, and two sisters fond of each other, 
313:370,17['  ]| made that$6#2$ mutual regard$0$ inevitable and immediate, 
313:370,18['  ]| which$6#1$ might otherwise have waited the effect$0$ of time 
313:370,19['  ]| and judgment. 
313:370,20['  ]| The letters from town, which$6#1$ a few days before$5$ would 
313:370,21['  ]| have made every nerve in$4$ $SS#A$Elinor's body thrill with transport, 
313:370,22['  ]| now arrived to$9$ be read with less emotion than 
313:370,23['  ]| mirth.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings wrote to$9$ tell the wonderful tale, 
313:370,24['  ]| to$9$ vent her honest indignation against the jilting girl, 
313:370,25['  ]| and pour forth her compassion towards 
313:370,25@k   | poor $SS#B$Mr%*Edward, 
313:370,26@k   | who$6#1$, she was sure, had quite doted upon$4$ the worthless 
313:370,27@k   | hussey, and was now, by$4$ all accounts, almost broken-hearted, 
313:370,28@k   | at Oxford. ~~ 
313:370,28[K  ]| "I do think," 
313:370,28['  ]| she continued, 
313:370,29[K  ]| "nothing was ever carried on$5$ so$5#1$ sly; for$3$ it was but two 
313:370,30[K  ]| days before$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy called and sat a couple of hours with 
313:370,31[K  ]| me.  Not a soul suspected anything of the matter, not 
313:370,32[K  ]| even$5$ $SS#P$Nancy, who$6#1$, poor soul! came crying to$4$ me the day 
313:370,33[K  ]| after$5$, in$4$ a great fright for$4$ fear$0$ of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, as well$5$ 
313:370,34[K  ]| as not knowing how to$9$ get to$4$ Plymouth; for$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy it 
313:370,35[K  ]| seems borrowed all her money before$3$ she went off to$9$ 
313:370,36[K  ]| be married, on$4$ purpose we suppose to$9$ make$1$ a shew$0$ with, 
313:370,37[K  ]| and poor $SS#P$Nancy had not seven shillings in$4$ the world; ~~ 
313:370,38[K  ]| so$3$ I was very glad to$9$ give her five guineas to$9$ take her 
313:370,39[K  ]| down$5$ to$4$ Exeter, where she thinks of staying three or 
313:371,01[K  ]| four weeks with $SS#ZD$Mrs%*Burgess, in$4$ hopes$0$, as I tell her, to$9$ 
313:371,02[K  ]| fall$1$ in$5$ with the $SS#ZJ$Doctor again.  And I must say that$3$ 
313:371,03[K  ]| $SS#Q$Lucy's crossness not to$9$ take her along$5$ with them in$4$ the 
313:371,04[K  ]| chaise is worse than all.  Poor $SS#B$Mr%*Edward!  I cannot 
313:371,05[K  ]| get him out$5$ of my head$0$, but you must send for$4$ him to$4$ 
313:371,06[K  ]| Barton, and $SS#C$Miss*Marianne must try to$9$ comfort$1$ him." 
313:371,07['  ]| $SS#F$Mr%*Dashwood's strains were more solemn. 
313:371,07@f   | $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars 
313:371,08@f   | was the most unfortunate of women ~~ poor 
313:371,09@f   | $SS#G$Fanny had suffered agonies of sensibility ~~ and he 
313:371,10@f   | considered the existence of each, under such a blow, 
313:371,11@f   | with grateful wonder$0$.  $SS#J$Robert's offence was unpardonable, 
313:371,12@f   | but $SS#Q$Lucy's was infinitely worse.  Neither of them 
313:371,13@f   | was ever again to$9$ be mentioned to$4$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars; and 
313:371,14@f   | even$5$, if she might hereafter be induced to$9$ forgive her 
313:371,15@f   | son, his wife should never be acknowledged as her 
313:371,16@f   | daughter, nor be permitted to$9$ appear in$4$ her presence. 
313:371,17['  ]| The secrecy with which$6#1$ every*thing had been carried on$5$ 
313:371,18['  ]| between them, was rationally treated as enormously 
313:371,19['  ]| heightening the crime, because, had any suspicion of it 
313:371,20['  ]| occurred to$4$ the others, proper measures would have 
313:371,21['  ]| been taken to$9$ prevent the marriage; and he called on$4$ 
313:371,22['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor to$9$ join with him in$4$ regretting that$3$ $SS#Q$Lucy's engagement 
313:371,23['  ]| with $SS#B$Edward had not rather been fulfilled, than 
313:371,24['  ]| that$3$ she should thus be the means$0$ of spreading misery 
313:371,25['  ]| farther in$4$ the family. ~~ He thus continued: 
313:371,26[F  ]| "$SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars has never yet mentioned $SS#B$Edward's 
313:371,27[F  ]| name$0$, which$6#1$ does not surprise$1$ us; but to$4$ our great 
313:371,28[F  ]| astonishment, not a line has been received from him 
313:371,29[F  ]| on$4$ the occasion$0$.  Perhaps, however, he is kept silent 
313:371,30[F  ]| by$4$ his fear$0$ of offending, and I shall, therefore, give him 
313:371,31[F  ]| a hint$0$, by$4$ a line to$4$ Oxford, that$3$ his sister and I both 
313:371,32[F  ]| think a letter of proper submission from him, addressed 
313:371,33[F  ]| perhaps to$4$ $SS#G$Fanny, and by$4$ her shewn to$4$ her mother, 
313:371,34[F  ]| might not be taken amiss; for$3$ we all know the tenderness 
313:371,35[F  ]| of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars's heart, and that$3$ she wishes$1$ for$4$ 
313:371,36[F  ]| nothing so$5#1$ much as to$9$ be on$4$ good terms with her children." 
313:371,38['  ]| This paragraph was of some importance to$4$ the 
313:371,39['  ]| prospects and conduct$0$ of $SS#B$Edward.  It determined him 
313:372,01['  ]| to$9$ attempt$1$ a reconciliation, though not exactly in$4$ the 
313:372,02['  ]| manner pointed out$5$ by$4$ their brother and sister. 
313:372,03[B  ]| "A letter of proper submission!" 
313:372,03['  ]| repeated he; 
313:372,04[B  ]| "would they have me beg my mother's pardon$0$ for$4$ 
313:372,05[B  ]| $SS#J$Robert's ingratitude to$4$ \her\, and breach of honour$0$ to$4$ 
313:372,06[B  ]| \me\? ~~ I can make$1$ no$2$ submission ~~ I am grown neither 
313:372,07[B  ]| humble$2$ nor penitent by$4$ what has passed. ~~ I am grown 
313:372,08[B  ]| very happy, but that$6#2$ would not interest$1$. ~~ I know of no$2$ 
313:372,09[B  ]| submission that$6#1$ \is\ proper for$4$ me to$9$ make$1$." 
313:372,10[A  ]| "You may$1$ certainly ask to$9$ be forgiven," 
313:372,10['  ]| said $SS#A$Elinor, 
313:372,11[A  ]| "because you have offended; ~~ and I should think you 
313:372,12[A  ]| might \now\ venture so$5#1$ far as to$9$ profess some concern$0$ for$4$ 
313:372,13[A  ]| having ever formed the engagement which$6#1$ drew on$4$ you 
313:372,14[A  ]| your mother's anger$0$." 
313:372,15['  ]| He agreed that$3$ he might. 
313:372,16[A  ]| "And when she has forgiven you, perhaps a little 
313:372,17[A  ]| humility may$1$ be convenient while$4$ acknowledging 
313:372,18[A  ]| a second$2$ engagement, almost as imprudent in$4$ \her\ eyes, 
313:372,19[A  ]| as the first." 
313:372,20['  ]| He had nothing to$9$ urge against it, but still$5$ resisted 
313:372,21['  ]| the idea of a letter of proper submission; and therefore, 
313:372,22['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ it easier to$4$ him, as he declared a much greater 
313:372,23['  ]| willingness to$9$ make$1$ mean$2$ concessions by$4$ word of mouth 
313:372,24['  ]| than on$4$ paper, it was resolved that$3$, instead of writing 
313:372,25['  ]| to$4$ $SS#G$Fanny, he should go to$4$ London, and personally 
313:372,26['  ]| intreat her good offices in$4$ his favour$0$. ~~ 
313:372,26[C  ]| "And if they 
313:372,27[C  ]| really \do\ interest$1$ themselves," 
313:372,27['  ]| said $SS#C$Marianne, in$4$ her new 
313:372,28['  ]| character of candour, 
313:372,28[C  ]| "in$4$ bringing about$5$ a reconciliation, 
313:372,29[C  ]| I shall think that$3$ even$5$ $SS#F$John and $SS#G$Fanny are not entirely 
313:372,30[C  ]| without merit$0$." 
313:372,31['  ]| After$4$ a visit$0$ on$4$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon's side$0$ of only three 
313:372,32['  ]| or four days, the two gentlemen quitted Barton together. 
313:372,33['  ]| ~~ They were to$9$ go immediately to$4$ Delaford, that$3$ $SS#B$Edward 
313:372,34['  ]| might have some personal knowledge of his future home, 
313:372,35['  ]| and assist his patron and friend in$4$ deciding on$4$ what 
313:372,36['  ]| improvements were needed to$4$ it; and from thence, 
313:372,37['  ]| after$4$ staying there a couple of nights, he was to$9$ proceed 
313:372,38['  ]| on$4$ his journey to$4$ town. 
314:373,01['  ]| After$4$ a proper resistance on$4$ the part$0$ of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, 
314:373,02['  ]| just$5$ so$5#1$ violent and so$5#1$ steady as to$9$ preserve her from 
314:373,03['  ]| that$6#2$ reproach$0$ which$6#1$ she always seemed fearful of 
314:373,04['  ]| incurring, the reproach$0$ of being$1$ too$5#1$ amiable, $SS#B$Edward 
314:373,05['  ]| was admitted to$4$ her presence, and pronounced to$9$ be 
314:373,06['  ]| again her son. 
314:373,07['  ]| Her family had of late been exceedingly fluctuating. 
314:373,08['  ]| For$4$ many years of her life she had had two sons; but 
314:373,09['  ]| the crime and annihilation of $SS#B$Edward a few weeks ago, 
314:373,10['  ]| had robbed her of one; the similar annihilation of 
314:373,11['  ]| $SS#J$Robert had left her for$4$ a fortnight without any; and 
314:373,12['  ]| now, by$4$ the resuscitation of $SS#B$Edward, she had one again. 
314:373,13['  ]| In$4$ spite$8$ of his being$1$ allowed once more to$9$ live, however, 
314:373,14['  ]| he did not feel the continuance of his existence secure$2$, 
314:373,15['  ]| till he had revealed his present$2$ engagement; for$3$ the 
314:373,16['  ]| publication of that$6#2$ circumstance, he feared, might give 
314:373,17['  ]| a sudden$2$ turn$0$ to$4$ his constitution, and carry him off as 
314:373,18['  ]| rapidly as before$5$.  With apprehensive caution$0$ therefore 
314:373,19['  ]| it was revealed, and he was listened to$4$ with unexpected 
314:373,20['  ]| calmness.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars at first reasonably endeavoured 
314:373,21['  ]| to$9$ dissuade him from marrying $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood, by$4$ 
314:373,22['  ]| every argument in$4$ her power; ~~ told him, that$3$ 
314:373,22@i   | in$4$ $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton 
314:373,23@i   | he would have a woman of higher rank$0$ and 
314:373,24@i   | larger fortune; ~~ 
314:373,24['  ]| and enforced the assertion, by$4$ observing 
314:373,25['  ]| that$3$ 
314:373,25@i   | $SS#ZT1$Miss*Morton was the daughter of a nobleman 
314:373,26@i   | with thirty thousand pounds, while$3$ $SS#A$Miss*Dashwood 
314:373,27@i   | was only the daughter of a private$2$ gentleman, with no$2$ 
314:373,28@i   | more than \three\; 
314:373,28['  ]| but when she found that$3$, though 
314:373,29['  ]| perfectly admitting the truth of her representation, he 
314:373,30['  ]| was by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ inclined to$9$ be guided by$4$ it, she judged 
314:373,31['  ]| it wisest, from the experience$0$ of the past$0$, to$9$ submit ~~ 
314:373,32['  ]| and therefore, after$4$ such an ungracious delay$0$ as she owed 
314:373,33['  ]| to$4$ her own$2$ dignity, and as served to$9$ prevent every 
314:374,01['  ]| suspicion of good-will, she issued her decree of consent$0$ 
314:374,02['  ]| to$4$ the marriage of $SS#B$Edward and $SS#A$Elinor. 
314:374,03['  ]| What she would engage to$9$ do towards augmenting 
314:374,04['  ]| their income, was next to$9$ be considered; and here it 
314:374,05['  ]| plainly appeared, that$3$ though $SS#B$Edward was now her only 
314:374,06['  ]| son, he was by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ her eldest; for$3$ while$3$ $SS#J$Robert 
314:374,07['  ]| was inevitably endowed with a thousand pounds a-year, 
314:374,08['  ]| not the smallest objection was made against $SS#B$Edward's 
314:374,09['  ]| taking orders$0#2$ for$4$ the sake of two hundred and fifty at 
314:374,10['  ]| the utmost; nor was anything promised either for$4$ the 
314:374,11['  ]| present$0#1$ or in$4$ future, beyond$4$ the ten thousand pounds, 
314:374,12['  ]| which$6#1$ had been given with $SS#G$Fanny. 
314:374,13['  ]| It was as much, however, as was desired, and more 
314:374,14['  ]| than was expected by$4$ $SS#B$Edward and $SS#A$Elinor; and $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars 
314:374,15['  ]| herself, by$4$ her shuffling excuses, seemed the only 
314:374,16['  ]| person surprised at her not giving more. 
314:374,17['  ]| With an income quite sufficient to$4$ their wants$0$ thus 
314:374,18['  ]| secured to$4$ them, they had nothing to$9$ wait for$4$ after$3$ 
314:374,19['  ]| $SS#B$Edward was in$4$ possession of the living, but the readiness 
314:374,20['  ]| of the house, to$4$ which$6#1$ $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon, with an eager 
314:374,21['  ]| desire$0$ for$4$ the accommodation of $SS#A$Elinor, was making 
314:374,22['  ]| considerable improvements; and after$4$ waiting some 
314:374,23['  ]| time for$4$ their completion, after$4$ experiencing, as usual, 
314:374,24['  ]| a thousand disappointments and delays, from the unaccountable 
314:374,25['  ]| dilatoriness of the workmen, $SS#A$Elinor, as usual, 
314:374,26['  ]| broke through$4$ the first positive resolution of not marrying 
314:374,27['  ]| till every*thing was ready, and the ceremony took 
314:374,28['  ]| place$0$ in$4$ Barton*church early in$4$ the autumn. 
314:374,29['  ]| The first month after$4$ their marriage was spent with 
314:374,30['  ]| their friend at the Mansion-house, from whence they could 
314:374,31['  ]| superintend the progress of the Parsonage, and direct$1$ 
314:374,32['  ]| every*thing as they liked on$4$ the spot; ~~ could chuse papers, 
314:374,33['  ]| project shrubberies, and invent a sweep.  $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings's 
314:374,34['  ]| prophecies, though rather jumbled together, were chiefly 
314:374,35['  ]| fulfilled; for$3$ she was able to$9$ visit$1$ $SS#B$Edward and his wife in$4$ 
314:374,36['  ]| their Parsonage by$4$ Michaelmas, and she found in$4$ $SS#A$Elinor 
314:374,37['  ]| and her husband, as she really believed, one of the happiest 
314:374,38['  ]| couple in$4$ the world.  They had in$4$ fact nothing to$9$ wish$1$ 
314:375,01['  ]| for$4$, but the marriage of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon and $SS#C$Marianne, 
314:375,02['  ]| and rather better pasturage for$4$ their cows. 
314:375,03['  ]| They were visited on$4$ their first settling by$4$ almost all 
314:375,04['  ]| their relations and friends.  $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars came to$9$ inspect 
314:375,05['  ]| the happiness which$6#1$ she was almost ashamed of 
314:375,06['  ]| having authorised; and even$5$ the $SS#F1$Dashwoods were at 
314:375,07['  ]| the expense of a journey from Sussex to$9$ do them honour$0$. 
314:375,08[F  ]| "I will$1$ not say that$3$ I am disappointed, my dear$2#1$ 
314:375,09[F  ]| sister," 
314:375,09['  ]| said $SS#F$John, as they were walking together one 
314:375,10['  ]| morning before$4$ the gates of Delaford*House, 
314:375,10[F  ]| "\that$6#2$\ would 
314:375,11[F  ]| be saying too$5#1$ much, for$3$ certainly you have been one of 
314:375,12[F  ]| the most fortunate young women in$4$ the world, as it is. 
314:375,13[F  ]| But, I confess, it would give me great pleasure to$9$ call$1$ 
314:375,14[F  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon brother.  His property here, his place$0$, 
314:375,15[F  ]| his house, every*thing in$4$ such respectable and excellent 
314:375,16[F  ]| condition$0$! ~~ and his woods! ~~ I have not seen such 
314:375,17[F  ]| timber any*where in$4$ Dorsetshire, as there is now standing 
314:375,18[F  ]| in$4$ Delaford*Hanger! ~~ And though, perhaps, $SS#C$Marianne 
314:375,19[F  ]| may$1$ not seem exactly the person to$9$ attract him ~~ yet I 
314:375,20[F  ]| think it would altogether be adviseable for$4$ you to$9$ have 
314:375,21[F  ]| them now frequently staying with you, for$3$ as $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
314:375,22[F  ]| seems a great deal$0$ at home, nobody can tell 
314:375,23[F  ]| what may$1$ happen ~~ for$3$, when people are much thrown 
314:375,24[F  ]| together, and see little of anybody else ~~ and it will$1$ 
314:375,25[F  ]| always be in$4$ your power to$9$ set$1$ her off to$4$ advantage, 
314:375,26[F  ]| and so$5#2$ forth; ~~ in$4$ short, you may$1$ as well$5$ give her a 
314:375,27[F  ]| chance$0$ ~~ You understand me." ~~ 
314:375,28['  ]| But though $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars \did\ come to$9$ see them, and 
314:375,29['  ]| always treated them with the make-believe of decent 
314:375,30['  ]| affection, they were never insulted by$4$ her real favour$0$ 
314:375,31['  ]| and preference.  \That$6#2$\ was due$2$ to$4$ the folly of $SS#J$Robert, and 
314:375,32['  ]| the cunning of his wife; and it was earned by$4$ them 
314:375,33['  ]| before$3$ many months had passed away.  The selfish 
314:375,34['  ]| sagacity of the latter, which$6#1$ had at first drawn $SS#J$Robert 
314:375,35['  ]| into the scrape, was the principal$0$ instrument of his 
314:375,36['  ]| deliverance from it; for$3$ her respectful humility, assiduous 
314:375,37['  ]| attentions, and endless flatteries, as soon as the 
314:375,38['  ]| smallest opening was given for$4$ their exercise$0$, reconciled 
314:376,01['  ]| $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars to$4$ his choice$0$, and re-established him completely 
314:376,02['  ]| in$4$ her favour$0$. 
314:376,03['  ]| The whole$0$ of $SS#Q$Lucy's behaviour in$4$ the affair, and the 
314:376,04['  ]| prosperity which$6#1$ crowned it, therefore, may$1$ be held forth 
314:376,05['  ]| as a most encouraging instance$0$ of what an earnest, an 
314:376,06['  ]| unceasing attention to$4$ self-interest, however its progress 
314:376,07['  ]| may$1$ be apparently obstructed, will$1$ do in$4$ securing every 
314:376,08['  ]| advantage of fortune, with no$2$ other sacrifice$0$ than that$6#2$ 
314:376,09['  ]| of time and conscience.  When $SS#J$Robert first sought her 
314:376,10['  ]| acquaintance, and privately visited her in$4$ Bartlett's*Buildings, 
314:376,11['  ]| it was only with the view$0$ imputed to$4$ him by$4$ 
314:376,12['  ]| his brother.  He merely meant to$9$ persuade her to$9$ give 
314:376,13['  ]| up$5$ the engagement; and as there could be nothing to$9$ 
314:376,14['  ]| overcome but the affection of both, he naturally expected 
314:376,15['  ]| that$3$ one or two interviews would settle the matter.  In$4$ 
314:376,16['  ]| that$6#2$ point$0$, however, and that$6#2$ only, he erred; ~~ for$3$ 
314:376,17['  ]| though $SS#Q$Lucy soon gave him hopes$0$ that$3$ his eloquence 
314:376,18['  ]| would convince her in$4$ \time\, another visit$0$, another 
314:376,19['  ]| conversation, was always wanted to$9$ produce this conviction. 
314:376,20['  ]| Some doubts$0$ always lingered in$4$ her mind$0$ when 
314:376,21['  ]| they parted, which$6#1$ could only be removed by$4$ another 
314:376,22['  ]| half hour's discourse with himself.  His attendance was 
314:376,23['  ]| by$4$ this means$0$ secured, and the rest$0#1$ followed in$4$ course$0$. 
314:376,24['  ]| Instead of talking of $SS#B$Edward, they came gradually to$9$ talk$1$ 
314:376,25['  ]| only of $SS#J$Robert, ~~ a subject$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ he had always more 
314:376,26['  ]| to$9$ say than on$4$ any other, and in$4$ which$6#1$ she soon betrayed 
314:376,27['  ]| an interest$0$ even$5$ equal$2$ to$4$ his own$2$; and in$4$ short, it 
314:376,28['  ]| became speedily evident to$4$ both, that$3$ he had entirely 
314:376,29['  ]| supplanted his brother.  He was proud of his conquest, 
314:376,30['  ]| proud of tricking $SS#B$Edward, and very proud of marrying 
314:376,31['  ]| privately without his mother's consent$0$.  What immediately 
314:376,32['  ]| followed is known.  They passed some months in$4$ 
314:376,33['  ]| great happiness at Dawlish; for$3$ she had many relations 
314:376,34['  ]| and old acquaintance to$9$ cut$1$ ~~ and he drew several 
314:376,35['  ]| plans for$4$ magnificent cottages; ~~ and from thence 
314:376,36['  ]| returning to$4$ town, procured the forgiveness of $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, 
314:376,37['  ]| by$4$ the simple$2$ expedient$0$ of asking it, which$6#1$, 
314:376,38['  ]| at $SS#Q$Lucy's instigation, was adopted.  The forgiveness at 
314:377,01['  ]| first, indeed, as was reasonable, comprehended only 
314:377,02['  ]| $SS#J$Robert; and $SS#Q$Lucy, who$6#1$ had owed his mother no$2$ duty, 
314:377,03['  ]| and therefore could have transgressed none, still$5$ remained 
314:377,04['  ]| some weeks longer unpardoned.  But perseverance 
314:377,05['  ]| in$4$ humility of conduct$0$ and messages, in$4$ self-condemnation 
314:377,06['  ]| for$4$ $SS#J$Robert's offence, and gratitude for$4$ the unkindness 
314:377,07['  ]| she was treated with, procured her in$4$ time the haughty 
314:377,08['  ]| notice$0$ which$6#1$ overcame her by$4$ its graciousness, and led 
314:377,09['  ]| soon afterwards, by$4$ rapid degrees, to$4$ the highest state$0$ 
314:377,10['  ]| of affection and influence$0$.  $SS#Q$Lucy became as necessary 
314:377,11['  ]| to$4$ $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, as either $SS#J$Robert or $SS#G$Fanny; and while$3$ 
314:377,12['  ]| $SS#B$Edward was never cordially forgiven for$4$ having once 
314:377,13['  ]| intended to$9$ marry her, and $SS#A$Elinor, though superior to$4$ 
314:377,14['  ]| her in$4$ fortune and birth$0#1$, was spoken of as an intruder, 
314:377,15['  ]| \she\ was in$4$ every*thing considered, and always openly 
314:377,16['  ]| acknowledged, to$9$ be a favourite$2$ child.  They settled in$4$ 
314:377,17['  ]| town, received very liberal assistance from $SS#I$Mrs%*Ferrars, 
314:377,18['  ]| were on$4$ the best terms imaginable with the $SS#F1$Dashwoods; 
314:377,19['  ]| and setting aside the jealousies and ill-will continually 
314:377,20['  ]| subsisting between $SS#G$Fanny and $SS#Q$Lucy, in$4$ which$6#1$ their 
314:377,21['  ]| husbands of course$8$ took a part$0$, as well$5$ as the frequent 
314:377,22['  ]| domestic$2$ disagreements between $SS#J$Robert and $SS#Q$Lucy 
314:377,23['  ]| themselves, nothing could exceed the harmony in$4$ which$6#1$ 
314:377,24['  ]| they all lived together. 
314:377,25['  ]| What $SS#B$Edward had done to$9$ forfeit the right$0$ of eldest 
314:377,26['  ]| son, might have puzzled many people to$9$ find out$5$; and 
314:377,27['  ]| what $SS#J$Robert had done to$9$ succeed to$4$ it, might have 
314:377,28['  ]| puzzled them still$5$ more.  It was an arrangement, however, 
314:377,29['  ]| justified in$4$ its effects, if not in$4$ its cause; for$3$ 
314:377,30['  ]| nothing ever appeared in$4$ $SS#J$Robert's style of living or of 
314:377,31['  ]| talking, to$9$ give a suspicion of his regretting the extent 
314:377,32['  ]| of his income, as either leaving his brother too$5#1$ little, 
314:377,33['  ]| or bringing himself too$5#1$ much; ~~ and if $SS#B$Edward might 
314:377,34['  ]| be judged from the ready discharge of his duties in$4$ every 
314:377,35['  ]| particular, from an increasing attachment to$4$ his wife 
314:377,36['  ]| and his home, and from the regular cheefulness of his 
314:377,37['  ]| spirits, he might be supposed no$2$ less contented with his 
314:377,38['  ]| lot, no$2$ less free from every wish$0$ of an exchange$0$. 
314:378,01['  ]| $SS#A$Elinor's marriage divided her as little from her 
314:378,02['  ]| family as could well$5$ be contrived, without rendering 
314:378,03['  ]| the cottage at Barton entirely useless, for$3$ her mother 
314:378,04['  ]| and sisters spent much more than half their time with her. 
314:378,05['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was acting on$4$ motives of policy as well$5$ 
314:378,06['  ]| as pleasure in$4$ the frequency of her visits at Delaford; 
314:378,07['  ]| for$3$ her wish$0$ of bringing $SS#C$Marianne and $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon 
314:378,08['  ]| together was hardly less earnest, though rather more 
314:378,09['  ]| liberal than what $SS#F$John had expressed.  It was now her 
314:378,10['  ]| darling object$0$.  Precious as was the company of her 
314:378,11['  ]| daughter to$4$ her, she desired nothing so$5#1$ much as to$9$ give 
314:378,12['  ]| up$5$ its constant enjoyment to$4$ her valued friend; and to$9$ 
314:378,13['  ]| see $SS#C$Marianne settled at the mansion-house was equally 
314:378,14['  ]| the wish$0$ of $SS#B$Edward and $SS#A$Elinor.  They each felt his 
314:378,15['  ]| sorrows, and their own$2$ obligations, and $SS#C$Marianne, by$4$ 
314:378,16['  ]| general$2$ consent$0$, was to$9$ be the reward$0$ of all. 
314:378,17['  ]| With such a confederacy against her ~~ with a knowledge 
314:378,18['  ]| so$5#1$ intimate$2$ of his goodness ~~ with a conviction of 
314:378,19['  ]| his fond attachment to$4$ herself, which$6#1$ at last$0$, though 
314:378,20['  ]| long after$3$ it was observable to$4$ everybody else ~~ burst$1$ on$4$ 
314:378,21['  ]| her ~~ what could she do? 
314:378,22['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne*Dashwood was born$1#1$ to$4$ an extraordinary 
314:378,23['  ]| fate.  She was born$1#1$ to$9$ discover the falsehood of her 
314:378,24['  ]| own$2$ opinions, and to$9$ counteract, by$4$ her conduct$0$, 
314:378,25['  ]| her most favourite$2$ maxims.  She was born$1#1$ to$9$ overcome 
314:378,26['  ]| an affection formed so$5#1$ late in$4$ life as at seventeen, and 
314:378,27['  ]| with no$2$ sentiment superior to$4$ strong esteem$0$ and lively 
314:378,28['  ]| friendship, voluntarily to$9$ give her hand$0$ to$4$ another! ~~ 
314:378,29['  ]| and \that$6#2$\ other, a man who$6#1$ had suffered no$2$ less than 
314:378,30['  ]| herself under the event of a former attachment, whom$6#1$, 
314:378,31['  ]| two years before$5$, she had considered too$5#1$ old to$9$ be 
314:378,32['  ]| married, ~~ and who$6#1$ still$5$ sought the constitutional safeguard 
314:378,33['  ]| of a flannel waistcoat! 
314:378,34['  ]| But so$5#2$ it was.  Instead of falling a sacrifice$0$ to$4$ an 
314:378,35['  ]| irresistible passion, as once she had fondly flattered 
314:378,36['  ]| herself with expecting, ~~ instead of remaining even$5$ for*ever 
314:378,37['  ]| with her mother, and finding her only pleasures in$4$ 
314:378,38['  ]| retirement and study$0$, as afterwards in$4$ her more calm$2$ 
314:379,01['  ]| and sober judgment she had determined on$5$, ~~ she found 
314:379,02['  ]| herself at nineteen, submitting to$4$ new attachments, 
314:379,03['  ]| entering on$4$ new duties, placed in$4$ a new home, a wife, 
314:379,04['  ]| the mistress of a family, and the patroness of a village. 
314:379,05['  ]| $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon was now as happy, as all those who$6#1$ 
314:379,06['  ]| best loved him, believed he deserved to$9$ be; ~~ in$4$ $SS#C$Marianne 
314:379,07['  ]| he was consoled for$4$ every past$2$ affliction; ~~ her regard$0$ 
314:379,08['  ]| and her society restored his mind$0$ to$4$ animation, and his 
314:379,09['  ]| spirits to$4$ cheerfulness; and that$3$ $SS#C$Marianne found her 
314:379,10['  ]| own$2$ happiness in$4$ forming his, was equally the persuasion 
314:379,11['  ]| and delight$0$ of each observing friend.  $SS#C$Marianne 
314:379,12['  ]| could never love$1$ by$4$ halves; and her whole$2$ heart became, 
314:379,13['  ]| in$4$ time, as much devoted to$4$ her husband, as it had once 
314:379,14['  ]| been to$4$ $SS#R$Willoughby. 
314:379,15['  ]| $SS#R$Willoughby could not hear of her marriage without 
314:379,16['  ]| a pang; and his punishment was soon afterwards 
314:379,17['  ]| complete$2$ in$4$ the voluntary forgiveness of $SS#ZZE$Mrs%*Smith, 
314:379,18['  ]| who$6#1$, by$4$ stating his marriage with a woman of character, 
314:379,19['  ]| as the source of her clemency, gave him reason$0$ for$4$ 
314:379,20['  ]| believing that$3$ had be behaved with honour$0$ towards 
314:379,21['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne, he might at once have been happy and rich. 
314:379,22['  ]| That$3$ his repentance of misconduct, which$6#1$ thus brought 
314:379,23['  ]| it own$2$ punishment, was sincere, need$1$ not be doubted; 
314:379,24['  ]| ~~ nor that$3$ he long thought$1$ of $SS#H$Colonel*Brandon with 
314:379,25['  ]| envy$0$, and of $SS#C$Marianne with regret$0$.  But that$3$ he was 
314:379,26['  ]| for*ever inconsolable, that$3$ he fled from society, or 
314:379,27['  ]| contracted an habitual gloom of temper, or died of 
314:379,28['  ]| a broken heart, must not be depended on$5$ ~~ for$3$ he did 
314:379,29['  ]| neither.  He lived to$9$ exert, and frequently to$9$ enjoy 
314:379,30['  ]| himself.  His wife was not always out$5$ of humour, nor 
314:379,31['  ]| his home always uncomfortable; and in$4$ his breed of 
314:379,32['  ]| horses and dogs, and in$4$ sporting of every kind$0$, he found 
314:379,33['  ]| no$2$ inconsiderable degree of domestic$2$ felicity. 
314:379,34['  ]| For$4$ $SS#C$Marianne, however ~~ in$4$ spite$8$ of his incivility in$4$ 
314:379,35['  ]| surviving her loss ~~ he always retained that$6#2$ decided 
314:379,36['  ]| regard$0$ which$6#1$ interested him in$4$ everything that$6#1$ befell her, 
314:379,37['  ]| and made her his secret$2$ standard of perfection in$4$ woman; 
314:379,38['  ]| ~~ and many a rising beauty would be slighted by$4$ him 
314:380,01['  ]| in$4$ after-days as bearing no$2$ comparison with $SS#C$Mrs%*Brandon. 
314:380,02['  ]| 
314:380,03['  ]| $SS#D$Mrs%*Dashwood was prudent enough to$9$ remain at the 
314:380,04['  ]| cottage, without attempting a removal to$4$ Delaford; 
314:380,05['  ]| and fortunately for$4$ $SS#L$Sir*John and $SS#K$Mrs%*Jennings, when 
314:380,06['  ]| $SS#C$Marianne was taken from them, $SS#E$Margaret had reached 
314:380,07['  ]| an age highly suitable for$4$ dancing, and not very ineligible 
314:380,08['  ]| for$4$ being$1$ supposed to$9$ have a lover. 
314:380,09['  ]| Between Barton and Delaford, there was that$6#2$ constant 
314:380,10['  ]| communication which$6#1$ strong family affection 
314:380,11['  ]| would naturally dictate; ~~ and among the merits and 
314:380,12['  ]| the happiness of $SS#A$Elinor and $SS#C$Marianne, let it not be 
314:380,13['  ]| ranked as the least considerable, that$3$ though sisters, 
314:380,14['  ]| and living almost within sight of each other, they could 
314:380,15['  ]| live without disagreement between themselves, or producing 
314:380,16['  ]| coolness between their husbands.
