Mr
Shepherd
was
eloquent
on
the
subject
;
pointing
out
all
the
circumstances
of
the
Admiral
's
family
,
which
made
him
peculiarly
desirable
as
a
tenant
.
He
was
a
married
man
,
and
without
children
;
the
very
state
to
be
wished
for
.
A
house
was
never
taken
good
care
of
,
Mr
Shepherd
observed
,
without
a
lady
:
he
did
not
know
,
whether
furniture
might
not
be
in
danger
of
suffering
as
much
where
there
was
no
lady
,
as
where
there
were
many
children
.
A
lady
,
without
a
family
,
was
the
very
best
preserver
of
furniture
in
the
world
.
He
had
seen
Mrs
Croft
,
too
;
she
was
at
Taunton
with
the
admiral
,
and
had
been
present
almost
all
the
time
they
were
talking
the
matter
over
.
"
And
a
very
well-spoken
,
genteel
,
shrewd
lady
,
she
seemed
to
be
,
"
continued
he
;
"
asked
more
questions
about
the
house
,
and
terms
,
and
taxes
,
than
the
Admiral
himself
,
and
seemed
more
conversant
with
business
;
and
moreover
,
Sir
Walter
,
I
found
she
was
not
quite
unconnected
in
this
country
,
any
more
than
her
husband
;
that
is
to
say
,
she
is
sister
to
a
gentleman
who
did
live
amongst
us
once
;
she
told
me
so
herself
:
sister
to
the
gentleman
who
lived
a
few
years
back
at
Monkford
.
Bless
me
!
what
was
his
name
?
At
this
moment
I
can
not
recollect
his
name
,
though
I
have
heard
it
so
lately
.
Penelope
,
my
dear
,
can
you
help
me
to
the
name
of
the
gentleman
who
lived
at
Monkford
:
Mrs
Croft
's
brother
?
"
But
Mrs
Clay
was
talking
so
eagerly
with
Miss
Elliot
,
that
she
did
not
hear
the
appeal
.
"
I
have
no
conception
whom
you
can
mean
,
Shepherd
;
I
remember
no
gentleman
resident
at
Monkford
since
the
time
of
old
Governor
Trent
.
"
"
Bless
me
!
how
very
odd
!
I
shall
forget
my
own
name
soon
,
I
suppose
.
A
name
that
I
am
so
very
well
acquainted
with
;
knew
the
gentleman
so
well
by
sight
;
seen
him
a
hundred
times
;
came
to
consult
me
once
,
I
remember
,
about
a
trespass
of
one
of
his
neighbours
;
farmer
's
man
breaking
into
his
orchard
;
wall
torn
down
;
apples
stolen
;
caught
in
the
fact
;
and
afterwards
,
contrary
to
my
judgement
,
submitted
to
an
amicable
compromise
.
Very
odd
indeed
!
"
After
waiting
another
moment
--
"
You
mean
Mr
Wentworth
,
I
suppose
?
"
said
Anne
.
Mr
Shepherd
was
all
gratitude
.
"
Wentworth
was
the
very
name
!
Mr
Wentworth
was
the
very
man
.
He
had
the
curacy
of
Monkford
,
you
know
,
Sir
Walter
,
some
time
back
,
for
two
or
three
years
.
Came
there
about
the
year
--
--
5
,
I
take
it
.
You
remember
him
,
I
am
sure
.
