After
very
little
farther
discourse
,
it
was
finally
settled
that
the
invitation
should
be
fully
accepted
.
Mrs
.
Jennings
received
the
information
with
a
great
deal
of
joy
,
and
many
assurances
of
kindness
and
care
;
nor
was
it
a
matter
of
pleasure
merely
to
her
.
Sir
John
was
delighted
;
for
to
a
man
,
whose
prevailing
anxiety
was
the
dread
of
being
alone
,
the
acquisition
of
two
,
to
the
number
of
inhabitants
in
London
,
was
something
.
Even
Lady
Middleton
took
the
trouble
of
being
delighted
,
which
was
putting
herself
rather
out
of
her
way
;
and
as
for
the
Miss
Steeles
,
especially
Lucy
,
they
had
never
been
so
happy
in
their
lives
as
this
intelligence
made
them
922
Elinor
submitted
to
the
arrangement
which
counteracted
her
wishes
with
less
reluctance
than
she
had
expected
to
feel
.
With
regard
to
herself
,
it
was
now
a
matter
of
unconcern
whether
she
went
to
town
or
not
,
and
when
she
saw
her
mother
so
thoroughly
pleased
with
the
plan
,
and
her
sister
exhilarated
by
it
in
look
,
voice
,
and
manner
,
restored
to
all
her
usual
animation
,
and
elevated
to
more
than
her
usual
gaiety
,
she
could
not
be
dissatisfied
with
the
cause
,
and
would
hardly
allow
herself
to
distrust
the
consequence
.
923
Marianne
s
joy
was
almost
a
degree
beyond
happiness
,
so
great
was
the
perturbation
of
her
spirits
and
her
impatience
to
be
gone
.
Her
unwillingness
to
quit
her
mother
was
her
only
restorative
to
calmness
;
and
at
the
moment
of
parting
her
grief
on
that
score
was
excessive
.
Her
mother
s
affliction
was
hardly
less
,
and
Elinor
was
the
only
one
of
the
three
,
who
seemed
to
consider
the
separation
as
any
thing
short
of
eternal
.

Their
departure
took
place
in
the
first
week
in
January
.
The
Middletons
were
to
follow
in
about
a
week
.
The
Miss
Steeles
kept
their
station
at
the
park
,
and
were
to
quit
it
only
with
the
rest
of
the
family
.
925
Elinor
could
not
find
herself
in
the
carriage
with
Mrs
.
Jennings
,
and
beginning
a
journey
to
London
under
her
protection
,
and
as
her
guest
,
without
wondering
at
her
own
situation
,
so
short
had
their
acquaintance
with
that
lady
been
,
so
wholly
unsuited
were
they
in
age
and
disposition
,
and
so
many
had
been
her
objections
against
such
a
measure
only
a
few
days
before
!
But
these
objections
had
all
,
with
that
happy
ardour
of
youth
which
Marianne
and
her
mother
equally
shared
,
been
overcome
or
overlooked
;
and
Elinor
,
in
spite
of
every
occasional
doubt
of
Willoughby
s
constancy
,
could
not
witness
the
rapture
of
delightful
expectation
which
filled
the
whole
soul
and
beamed
in
the
eyes
of
Marianne
,
without
feeling
how
blank
was
her
own
prospect
,
how
cheerless
her
own
state
of
mind
in
the
comparison
,
and
how
gladly
she
would
engage
in
the
solicitude
of
Marianne
s
situation
to
have
the
same
animating
object
in
view
,
the
same
possibility
of
hope
.
A
short
,
a
very
short
time
however
must
now
decide
what
Willoughby
s
intentions
were
;
in
all
probability
he
was
already
in
town
.
Marianne
s
eagerness
to
be
gone
declared
her
dependence
on
finding
him
there
;
and
Elinor
was
resolved
not
only
upon
gaining
every
new
light
as
to
his
character
which
her
own
observation
or
the
intelligence
of
others
could
give
her
,
but
likewise
upon
watching
his
behaviour
to
her
sister
with
such
zealous
attention
,
as
to
ascertain
what
he
was
and
what
he
meant
,
before
many
meetings
had
taken
place
.
926
Should
the
result
of
her
observations
be
unfavourable
,
she
was
determined
at
all
events
to
open
the
eyes
of
her
sister
;
should
it
be
otherwise
,
her
exertions
would
be
of
a
different
nature
she
must
then
learn
to
avoid
every
selfish
comparison
,
and
banish
every
regret
which
might
lessen
her
satisfaction
in
the
happiness
of
Marianne
.
927
They
were
three
days
on
their
journey
,
and
Marianne
s
behaviour
as
they
travelled
was
a
happy
specimen
of
what
future
complaisance
and
companionableness
to
Mrs
.
Jennings
might
be
expected
to
be
.
She
sat
in
silence
almost
all
the
way
,
wrapt
in
her
own
meditations
,
and
scarcely
ever
voluntarily
speaking
,
except
when
any
object
of
picturesque
beauty
within
their
view
drew
from
her
an
exclamation
of
delight
exclusively
addressed
to
her
sister
.
To
atone
for
this
conduct
therefore
,
Elinor
took
immediate
possession
of
the
post
of
civility
which
she
had
assigned
herself
,
behaved
with
the
greatest
attention
to
Mrs
.
Jennings
,
talked
with
her
,
laughed
with
her
,
and
listened
to
her
whenever
she
could
;
and
Mrs
.
Jennings
on
her
side
treated
them
both
with
all
possible
kindness
,
was
solicitous
on
every
occasion
for
their
ease
and
enjoyment
,
and
only
disturbed
that
she
could
not
make
them
choose
their
own
dinners
at
the
inn
,
nor
extort
a
confession
of
their
preferring
salmon
to
cod
,
or
boiled
fowls
to
veal
cutlets
.
They
reached
town
by
three
o
clock
the
third
day
,
glad
to
be
released
,
after
such
a
journey
,
from
the
confinement
of
a
carriage
,
and
ready
to
enjoy
all
the
luxury
of
a
good
fire
.

The
house
was
handsome
,
and
handsomely
fitted
up
,
and
the
young
ladies
were
immediately
put
in
possession
of
a
very
comfortable
apartment
.
It
had
formerly
been
Charlotte
s
,
and
over
the
mantelpiece
still
hung
a
landscape
in
coloured
silks
of
her
performance
,
in
proof
of
her
having
spent
seven
years
at
a
great
school
in
town
to
some
effect
.
929
As
dinner
was
not
to
be
ready
in
less
than
two
hours
from
their
arrival
,
Elinor
determined
to
employ
the
interval
in
writing
to
her
mother
,
and
sat
down
for
that
purpose
.
In
a
few
moments
Marianne
did
the
same
.
"
I
am
writing
home
,
Marianne
,
"
said
Elinor
;
"
had
not
you
better
defer
your
letter
for
a
day
or
two
?
"
930
"
I
am
NOT
going
to
write
to
my
mother
,
"
replied
Marianne
,
hastily
,
and
as
if
wishing
to
avoid
any
farther
inquiry
.
Elinor
said
no
more
;
it
immediately
struck
her
that
she
must
then
be
writing
to
Willoughby
;
and
the
conclusion
which
as
instantly
followed
was
,
that
,
however
mysteriously
they
might
wish
to
conduct
the
affair
,
they
must
be
engaged
.
This
conviction
,
though
not
entirely
satisfactory
,
gave
her
pleasure
,
and
she
continued
her
letter
with
greater
alacrity
.
Marianne
s
was
finished
in
a
very
few
minutes
;
in
length
it
could
be
no
more
than
a
note
;
it
was
then
folded
up
,
sealed
,
and
directed
with
eager
rapidity
.
Elinor
thought
she
could
distinguish
a
large
W
in
the
direction
;
and
no
sooner
was
it
complete
than
Marianne
,
ringing
the
bell
,
requested
the
footman
who
answered
it
to
get
that
letter
conveyed
for
her
to
the
two
-
penny
post
.
This
decided
the
matter
at
once
.
