"
I
thought
it
my
duty
,
"
said
he
,
"
independent
of
my
feelings
,
to
give
her
the
option
of
continuing
the
engagement
or
not
,
when
I
was
renounced
by
my
mother
,
and
stood
to
all
appearance
without
a
friend
in
the
world
to
assist
me
.
In
such
a
situation
as
that
,
where
there
seemed
nothing
to
tempt
the
avarice
or
the
vanity
of
any
living
creature
,
how
could
I
suppose
,
when
she
so
earnestly
,
so
warmly
insisted
on
sharing
my
fate
,
whatever
it
might
be
,
that
any
thing
but
the
most
disinterested
affection
was
her
inducement
?
And
even
now
,
I
cannot
comprehend
on
what
motive
she
acted
,
or
what
fancied
advantage
it
could
be
to
her
,
to
be
fettered
to
a
man
for
whom
she
had
not
the
smallest
regard
,
and
who
had
only
two
thousand
pounds
in
the
world
.
She
could
not
foresee
that
Colonel
Brandon
would
give
me
a
living
.
"
"
No
;
but
she
might
suppose
that
something
would
occur
in
your
favour
;
that
your
own
family
might
in
time
relent
.
And
at
any
rate
,
she
lost
nothing
by
continuing
the
engagement
,
for
she
has
proved
that
it
fettered
neither
her
inclination
nor
her
actions
.
The
connection
was
certainly
a
respectable
one
,
and
probably
gained
her
consideration
among
her
friends
;
and
,
if
nothing
more
advantageous
occurred
,
it
would
be
better
for
her
to
marry
YOU
than
be
single
.
"
Edward
was
,
of
course
,
immediately
convinced
that
nothing
could
have
been
more
natural
than
Lucy
’
s
conduct
,
nor
more
self
-
evident
than
the
motive
of
it
.
Elinor
scolded
him
,
harshly
as
ladies
always
scold
the
imprudence
which
compliments
themselves
,
for
having
spent
so
much
time
with
them
at
Norland
,
when
he
must
have
felt
his
own
inconstancy
.
"
Your
behaviour
was
certainly
very
wrong
,
"
said
she
;
"
because
—
to
say
nothing
of
my
own
conviction
,
our
relations
were
all
led
away
by
it
to
fancy
and
expect
WHAT
,
as
you
were
THEN
situated
,
could
never
be
.
"
He
could
only
plead
an
ignorance
of
his
own
heart
,
and
a
mistaken
confidence
in
the
force
of
his
engagement
.
"
I
was
simple
enough
to
think
,
that
because
my
FAITH
was
plighted
to
another
,
there
could
be
no
danger
in
my
being
with
you
;
and
that
the
consciousness
of
my
engagement
was
to
keep
my
heart
as
safe
and
sacred
as
my
honour
.
I
felt
that
I
admired
you
,
but
I
told
myself
it
was
only
friendship
;
and
till
I
began
to
make
comparisons
between
yourself
and
Lucy
,
I
did
not
know
how
far
I
was
got
.
After
that
,
I
suppose
,
I
WAS
wrong
in
remaining
so
much
in
Sussex
,
and
the
arguments
with
which
I
reconciled
myself
to
the
expediency
of
it
,
were
no
better
than
these
:
—
The
danger
is
my
own
;
I
am
doing
no
injury
to
anybody
but
myself
.
"
Elinor
smiled
,
and
shook
her
head
.
