Imust
take
leave
to
observe
,
Sir
Walter
,
"
said
Mr
Shepherd
one
morning
at
Kellynch
Hall
,
as
he
laid
down
the
newspaper
,
"
that
the
present
juncture
is
much
in
our
favour
.
This
peace
will
be
turning
all
our
rich
naval
officers
ashore
.
They
will
be
all
wanting
a
home
.
Could
not
be
a
better
time
,
Sir
Walter
,
for
having
a
choice
of
tenants
,
very
responsible
tenants
.
Many
a
noble
fortune
has
been
made
during
the
war
.
If
a
rich
admiral
were
to
come
in
our
way
,
Sir
Walter
--
"
"
He
would
be
a
very
lucky
man
,
Shepherd
,
"
replied
Sir
Walter
;
"
that
's
all
I
have
to
remark
.
A
prize
indeed
would
Kellynch
Hall
be
to
him
;
rather
the
greatest
prize
of
all
,
let
him
have
taken
ever
so
many
before
;
hey
,
Shepherd
?
"
Mr
Shepherd
laughed
,
as
he
knew
he
must
,
at
this
wit
,
and
then
added
--
"
I
presume
to
observe
,
Sir
Walter
,
that
,
in
the
way
of
business
,
gentlemen
of
the
navy
are
well
to
deal
with
.
I
have
had
a
little
knowledge
of
their
methods
of
doing
business
;
and
I
am
free
to
confess
that
they
have
very
liberal
notions
,
and
are
as
likely
to
make
desirable
tenants
as
any
set
of
people
one
should
meet
with
.
Therefore
,
Sir
Walter
,
what
I
would
take
leave
to
suggest
is
,
that
if
in
consequence
of
any
rumours
getting
abroad
of
your
intention
;
which
must
be
contemplated
as
a
possible
thing
,
because
we
know
how
difficult
it
is
to
keep
the
actions
and
designs
of
one
part
of
the
world
from
the
notice
and
curiosity
of
the
other
;
consequence
has
its
tax
;
I
,
John
Shepherd
,
might
conceal
any
family-matters
that
I
chose
,
for
nobody
would
think
it
worth
their
while
to
observe
me
;
but
Sir
Walter
Elliot
has
eyes
upon
him
which
it
may
be
very
difficult
to
elude
;
and
therefore
,
thus
much
I
venture
upon
,
that
it
will
not
greatly
surprise
me
if
,
with
all
our
caution
,
some
rumour
of
the
truth
should
get
abroad
;
in
the
supposition
of
which
,
as
I
was
going
to
observe
,
since
applications
will
unquestionably
follow
,
I
should
think
any
from
our
wealthy
naval
commanders
particularly
worth
attending
to
;
and
beg
leave
to
add
,
that
two
hours
will
bring
me
over
at
any
time
,
to
save
you
the
trouble
of
replying
.
"
Sir
Walter
only
nodded
.
But
soon
afterwards
,
rising
and
pacing
the
room
,
he
observed
sarcastically
--
"
There
are
few
among
the
gentlemen
of
the
navy
,
I
imagine
,
who
would
not
be
surprised
to
find
themselves
in
a
house
of
this
description
.
"
"
They
would
look
around
them
,
no
doubt
,
and
bless
their
good
fortune
,
"
said
Mrs
Clay
,
for
Mrs
Clay
was
present
:
her
father
had
driven
her
over
,
nothing
being
of
so
much
use
to
Mrs
Clay
's
health
as
a
drive
to
Kellynch
:
"
but
I
quite
agree
with
my
father
in
thinking
a
sailor
might
be
a
very
desirable
tenant
.
I
have
known
a
good
deal
of
the
profession
;
and
besides
their
liberality
,
they
are
so
neat
and
careful
in
all
their
ways
!
These
valuable
pictures
of
yours
,
Sir
Walter
,
if
you
chose
to
leave
them
,
would
be
perfectly
safe
.
Everything
in
and
about
the
house
would
be
taken
such
excellent
care
of
!
The
gardens
and
shrubberies
would
be
kept
in
almost
as
high
order
as
they
are
now
.
You
need
not
be
afraid
,
Miss
Elliot
,
of
your
own
sweet
flower
gardens
being
neglected
.
"
"
As
to
all
that
,
"
rejoined
Sir
Walter
coolly
,
"
supposing
I
were
induced
to
let
my
house
,
I
have
by
no
means
made
up
my
mind
as
to
the
privileges
to
be
annexed
to
it
.
I
am
not
particularly
disposed
to
favour
a
tenant
.
The
park
would
be
open
to
him
of
course
,
and
few
navy
officers
,
or
men
of
any
other
description
,
can
have
had
such
a
range
;
but
what
restrictions
I
might
impose
on
the
use
of
the
pleasure-grounds
,
is
another
thing
.
I
am
not
fond
of
the
idea
of
my
shrubberies
being
always
approachable
;
and
I
should
recommend
Miss
Elliot
to
be
on
her
guard
with
respect
to
her
flower
garden
.
I
am
very
little
disposed
to
grant
a
tenant
of
Kellynch
Hall
any
extraordinary
favour
,
I
assure
you
,
be
he
sailor
or
soldier
.
