"
Oh
!
dear
Mrs
Croft
,
"
cried
Mrs
Musgrove
,
unable
to
let
her
finish
her
speech
,
"
there
is
nothing
I
so
abominate
for
young
people
as
a
long
engagement
.
It
is
what
I
always
protested
against
for
my
children
.
It
is
all
very
well
,
I
used
to
say
,
for
young
people
to
be
engaged
,
if
there
is
a
certainty
of
their
being
able
to
marry
in
six
months
,
or
even
in
twelve
;
but
a
long
engagement
--
"
"
Yes
,
dear
ma'am
,
"
said
Mrs
Croft
,
"
or
an
uncertain
engagement
,
an
engagement
which
may
be
long
.
To
begin
without
knowing
that
at
such
a
time
there
will
be
the
means
of
marrying
,
I
hold
to
be
very
unsafe
and
unwise
,
and
what
I
think
all
parents
should
prevent
as
far
as
they
can
.
"
Anne
found
an
unexpected
interest
here
.

She
felt
its
application
to
herself
,
felt
it
in
a
nervous
thrill
all
over
her
;
and
at
the
same
moment
that
her
eyes
instinctively
glanced
towards
the
distant
table
,
Captain
Wentworth
's
pen
ceased
to
move
,
his
head
was
raised
,
pausing
,
listening
,
and
he
turned
round
the
next
instant
to
give
a
look
,
one
quick
,
conscious
look
at
her
.
The
two
ladies
continued
to
talk
,
to
re-urge
the
same
admitted
truths
,
and
enforce
them
with
such
examples
of
the
ill
effect
of
a
contrary
practice
as
had
fallen
within
their
observation
,
but
Anne
heard
nothing
distinctly
;
it
was
only
a
buzz
of
words
in
her
ear
,
her
mind
was
in
confusion
.
Captain
Harville
,
who
had
in
truth
been
hearing
none
of
it
,
now
left
his
seat
,
and
moved
to
a
window
,
and
Anne
seeming
to
watch
him
,
though
it
was
from
thorough
absence
of
mind
,
became
gradually
sensible
that
he
was
inviting
her
to
join
him
where
he
stood
.
He
looked
at
her
with
a
smile
,
and
a
little
motion
of
the
head
,
which
expressed
,
"
Come
to
me
,
I
have
something
to
say
;
"
and
the
unaffected
,
easy
kindness
of
manner
which
denoted
the
feelings
of
an
older
acquaintance
than
he
really
was
,
strongly
enforced
the
invitation
.
She
roused
herself
and
went
to
him
.
The
window
at
which
he
stood
was
at
the
other
end
of
the
room
from
where
the
two
ladies
were
sitting
,
and
though
nearer
to
Captain
Wentworth
's
table
,
not
very
near
.
As
she
joined
him
,
Captain
Harville
's
countenance
re-assumed
the
serious
,
thoughtful
expression
which
seemed
its
natural
character
.
"
Look
here
,
"
said
he
,
unfolding
a
parcel
in
his
hand
,
and
displaying
a
small
miniature
painting
,
"
do
you
know
who
that
is
?
"

"
Certainly
:
Captain
Benwick
.
"
"
Yes
,
and
you
may
guess
who
it
is
for
.
But
,
"
(
in
a
deep
tone
,
)
"
it
was
not
done
for
her
.
Miss
Elliot
,
do
you
remember
our
walking
together
at
Lyme
,
and
grieving
for
him
?
I
little
thought
then
--
but
no
matter
.
This
was
drawn
at
the
Cape
.
He
met
with
a
clever
young
German
artist
at
the
Cape
,
and
in
compliance
with
a
promise
to
my
poor
sister
,
sat
to
him
,
and
was
bringing
it
home
for
her
;
and
I
have
now
the
charge
of
getting
it
properly
set
for
another
!
It
was
a
commission
to
me
!
But
who
else
was
there
to
employ
?
I
hope
I
can
allow
for
him
.
I
am
not
sorry
,
indeed
,
to
make
it
over
to
another
.
He
undertakes
it
;
"
(
looking
towards
Captain
Wentworth
,
)
"
he
is
writing
about
it
now
.
"
And
with
a
quivering
lip
he
wound
up
the
whole
by
adding
,
"
Poor
Fanny
!
she
would
not
have
forgotten
him
so
soon
!
"
"
No
,
"
replied
Anne
,
in
a
low
,
feeling
voice
.
"
That
I
can
easily
believe
.
"
