00:00:00Vanity
00:00:28Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character.
00:00:33Vanity of person and of situation.
00:00:37His wife, Lady Elliot, however, had been an excellent woman,
00:00:41sensible and amiable,
00:00:42whose judgment and conduct, if they might be pardoned,
00:00:45the youthful infatuation which made her Lady Elliot,
00:00:49had never required indulgence afterwards.
00:00:53She had found enough in her duties, her friends and her children,
00:00:56to attach her to life
00:00:58and make it no matter of indifference to her
00:01:01when she was called on to quit them.
00:01:05Lady Elliot had one very intimate friend,
00:01:10Lady Russell,
00:01:11a sensible, deserving woman
00:01:13who had been brought by strong attachment to herself
00:01:16to settle close by her in the village of Kellynch.
00:01:19Upon her death, Lady Elliot hoped that she would ensure the maintenance
00:01:25of the good principles and instruction
00:01:27which she had been anxiously giving her daughters.
00:01:31Three girls, the two eldest, 16 and 14,
00:01:35was an awful legacy for a mother to bequeath,
00:01:38an awful charge, rather,
00:01:40to confide to the authority and guidance of a conceited, silly father.
00:01:45Lady Russell loved all three of Lady Elliot's daughters,
00:01:57but it was only in Anne
00:01:59that she could fancy the mother to revive again.
00:02:04To Lady Russell, indeed,
00:02:05Anne was a most dear and highly valued goddaughter,
00:02:09favourite and friend.
00:02:11A few years before,
00:02:14Anne Elliot had been a very pretty girl,
00:02:17but her bloom had vanished early,
00:02:20and even in its height,
00:02:22Sir Walter had found little to admire in her,
00:02:24so totally different were her delicate features
00:02:27and mild, dark eyes from his own.
00:02:31Mary had acquired a little artificial importance
00:02:34by becoming Mrs Charles Musgrove,
00:02:36but Anne, with an elegance of mind and sweetness of character
00:02:40which must have placed her high
00:02:42with any people of real understanding,
00:02:44was nobody with either father or sister.
00:02:49Her word had no weight.
00:02:51Her convenience was always to give way.
00:02:54She was only Anne.
00:02:57For one daughter, his eldest,
00:03:00Sir Walter would really have given up anything,
00:03:03which he had not been very much tempted to do.
00:03:06Elizabeth, being very handsome and very like himself,
00:03:11her influence had always been great,
00:03:13and they had gone on together most happily.
00:03:17But Elizabeth did not quite equal her father
00:03:20in personal contentment.
00:03:23She had had a disappointment.
00:03:26Sir Walter's heir presumptive,
00:03:28the very William Walter Elliot Esquire.
00:03:31He was at that time a very young man,
00:03:35just engaged in the study of the law,
00:03:37and Elizabeth found him extremely agreeable.
00:03:41He was invited to Kellynch Hall.
00:03:43He was talked of and expected all the rest of the year.
00:03:47But he never came.
00:03:50The following spring, he was seen again in town,
00:03:53found equally agreeable,
00:03:55again encouraged, invited and expected.
00:03:57And again, he did not come.
00:04:02And the next tidings were that he was married.
00:04:06But now, another occupation and solicitude of mind
00:04:10was beginning to be added to the family's problems.
00:04:14While Lady Elliot lived,
00:04:16there had been method, moderation and economy
00:04:19which had just kept Sir Walter within his income,
00:04:22but with her had died all such right-mindedness,
00:04:26and from that period he had been constantly exceeding it.
00:04:31He was not only growing dreadfully in debt,
00:04:33but was hearing of it so often
00:04:35that it became vain to attempt concealing it longer.
00:04:39Indeed, Sir Walter would need to retrench
00:04:42or quit Kellynch Hall.
00:04:44What?
00:04:46Every comfort of life knocked off?
00:04:48Journeys, London, servants, horses, table?
00:04:53Contractions and restrictions everywhere?
00:04:56No.
00:04:57I would sooner quit Kellynch Hall at once
00:04:59than remain in it on such disgraceful terms.
00:05:03And after a very few days more of doubt and indecision,
00:05:08the great question of whither he should go was settled.
00:05:13Sir Walter and his family would move to Bath
00:05:16and Kellynch Hall would be let.
00:05:19The very first application for the letting of Kellynch Hall
00:05:23was from an Admiral Croft.
00:05:25And who is Admiral Croft?
00:05:28was Sir Walter's cold, suspicious inquiry.
00:05:33Admiral Croft was a real Admiral of the White,
00:05:37a hale, hearty, well-looking man,
00:05:40a little weather-beaten to be sure, but not much,
00:05:42and quite the gentleman in all his notions and behaviour.
00:05:47As for his wife,
00:05:49I found she was not quite unconnected in this country.
00:05:53That is to say, she is sister to a gentleman
00:05:56who did live amongst us once,
00:05:59said Mr Shepherd, the family's lawyer.
00:06:02You mean Mr Wentworth, I suppose, said Anne.
00:06:06Wentworth was the very name.
00:06:09You remember him, I'm sure.
00:06:10Wentworth, replies Sir Walter.
00:06:14Oh, I'm Mr Wentworth.
00:06:17You misled me by the term gentleman.
00:06:19I thought you were speaking of some man of property.
00:06:21Mr Wentworth was nobody, I remember.
00:06:26He was, in fact, Captain Frederick Wentworth,
00:06:30who, being made commander in consequence of the action of San Domingo
00:06:34and not immediately employed,
00:06:36had come into Somersetshire in the summer of 1806
00:06:40and, having no parent living,
00:06:43found a home for half a year at Kellynch.
00:06:46He was, at that time,
00:06:49a remarkably fine young man
00:06:51with a great deal of intelligence,
00:06:54spirit and brilliancy,
00:06:56and Anne, an extremely pretty girl,
00:06:59with gentleness, modesty, taste and feeling.
00:07:04They were gradually acquainted
00:07:06and, when acquainted,
00:07:08fell rapidly and deeply in love.
00:07:12A short period of exquisite felicity followed,
00:07:18and but a short one.
00:07:21Troubles soon arose.
00:07:24Sir Walter, on being applied to,
00:07:26without actually withholding his consent
00:07:28or saying it should never be,
00:07:31gave all the negative
00:07:32of great astonishment,
00:07:34great coldness,
00:07:35great silence,
00:07:36and a professed resolution
00:07:38of doing nothing for his daughter.
00:07:41He thought it a very degrading alliance,
00:07:44and Lady Russell,
00:07:45though with more tempered and pardonable pride,
00:07:48received it as a most unfortunate one.
00:07:52Captain Wentworth had no fortune,
00:07:56but he was confident
00:07:57that he should soon be rich,
00:08:00full of life and ardour.
00:08:02He knew that he should soon have a ship
00:08:04and soon be on a station
00:08:05that would lead to everything he wanted.
00:08:09Such confidence,
00:08:11powerful in its own warmth
00:08:12and bewitching in the wit
00:08:14which often expressed it,
00:08:16must have been enough for Anne,
00:08:18but Lady Russell saw it very differently.
00:08:22His sanguine temper
00:08:24and fearlessness of mind
00:08:25operated very differently on her.
00:08:29Such opposition,
00:08:31as these feelings produced,
00:08:32was more than Anne could combat.
00:08:36Young and gentle as she was,
00:08:38it might have been possible
00:08:39to withstand her father's ill will,
00:08:42but Lady Russell,
00:08:43whom she'd always loved and relied on,
00:08:45could not,
00:08:46with such steadiness of opinion
00:08:47and such tenderness of manner,
00:08:50be continually advising her in vain.
00:08:53She was persuaded to believe
00:08:56the engagement a wrong thing.
00:08:58Indiscreet,
00:09:01improper,
00:09:02hardly capable of success
00:09:04and not deserving it.
00:09:08A few months had seen the beginning
00:09:10and the end of their acquaintance,
00:09:12but her attachment and regrets
00:09:14had, for a long time,
00:09:16clouded every enjoyment of youth
00:09:19and an early loss of bloom and spirits
00:09:22had been their lasting effect.
00:09:23More than seven years were gone
00:09:27since this little history
00:09:28of sorrowful interest
00:09:30had reached its close.
00:09:31Lady Russell and Anne
00:09:32knew not each other's opinion,
00:09:34either its constancy
00:09:36or its change
00:09:37on the leading point of Anne's conduct,
00:09:39for the subject was never alluded to.
00:09:42But Anne,
00:09:43at seven and twenty,
00:09:44thought very differently
00:09:46from what she had been made
00:09:47to think at nineteen.
00:09:49She did not blame Lady Russell,
00:09:51she did not blame herself
00:09:52for having been guided by her,
00:09:55but she felt that
00:09:56were any young person
00:09:57in similar circumstances
00:09:59to apply to her for counsel,
00:10:02they would never receive any
00:10:03of such certain immediate wretchedness.
00:10:07She was persuaded that,
00:10:10under every disadvantage
00:10:11of disapprobation at home
00:10:12and every anxiety
00:10:14attending his profession,
00:10:16all their probable fears,
00:10:17delays and disappointments,
00:10:19she should yet have been
00:10:21a happier woman
00:10:22in maintaining the engagement
00:10:24than she had been
00:10:25in the sacrifice of it.
00:10:28With all these circumstances,
00:10:31recollections and feelings,
00:10:33she could not hear
00:10:34that Captain Wentworth's sister
00:10:35was likely to live at Kellynch
00:10:37without a revival
00:10:39of former pain.
00:10:41And many a stroll
00:10:42and many a sigh
00:10:44were necessary
00:10:45to dispel
00:10:46the agitation of the idea.
00:10:49In the event of Admiral Croft's
00:10:52really taking Kellynch Hall,
00:10:55she hoped that the acquaintance
00:10:57need not involve
00:10:59any particular awkwardness.
00:11:13Upper Cross was a moderate-sized village.
00:11:17Here, Anne had often been staying,
00:11:19and here she would stay once again
00:11:21with her sister Mary.
00:11:22She knew the ways of Upper Cross
00:11:24as well as those of Kellynch.
00:11:27There lived Mary's in-laws,
00:11:28the Musgroves,
00:11:29and Mr and Mrs Musgrove
00:11:31were a very good sort of people,
00:11:34friendly and hospitable,
00:11:34not much educated
00:11:37and not at all elegant.
00:11:38There was a numerous family,
00:11:41but the only two grown up,
00:11:43excepting Charles Musgrove,
00:11:44Mary's husband,
00:11:45were Henrietta and Louisa,
00:11:47young ladies of 19 and 20,
00:11:50who were now,
00:11:50like thousands of other young ladies,
00:11:53living to be fashionable,
00:11:55happy and merry.
00:11:56The neighbourhood was not large,
00:11:59but the Musgroves were visited by everybody
00:12:02and had more dinner parties
00:12:04and more callers,
00:12:05more visitors by invitation and by chance
00:12:07than any other family.
00:12:10Henrietta and Louisa were wild for dancing,
00:12:13and the evenings ended occasionally
00:12:16in an unpremeditated little ball.
00:12:20So passed the first three weeks,
00:12:23and Anne's spirits were greatly improved
00:12:26by change of place and subject.
00:12:30Admiral Croft and his wife
00:12:32took possession of Kellynch Hall
00:12:34with true naval alertness
00:12:36and were to be visited.
00:12:38A very few days more,
00:12:40and Captain Wentworth
00:12:42was known to be at Kellynch.
00:12:44Mr Musgrove had called on him
00:12:46and come back warm in his praise,
00:12:49and he was engaged with the Crofts
00:12:51to dine at Uppercross
00:12:52by the end of another week.
00:12:55A week must pass.
00:12:59Only a week,
00:13:00and then, Anne supposed,
00:13:02they must meet.
00:13:04And soon she began to wish
00:13:06that she could feel secure
00:13:07even for a week.
00:13:09To hear the Musgroves talking
00:13:11so much of Captain Wentworth,
00:13:13puzzling over past years
00:13:15and at last ascertaining
00:13:16that it might turn out
00:13:17to be the very same Captain Wentworth
00:13:19whom they recollected meeting
00:13:21once or twice,
00:13:22a very fine young man,
00:13:24was a new sort of trial
00:13:25to Anne's nerves.
00:13:28She found, however,
00:13:29that it was one
00:13:31to which she must inure herself.
00:13:34Anne and Mary
00:13:36were actually setting forth
00:13:37for the Musgroves' house
00:13:38to dine with the Crofts
00:13:40and Captain Wentworth
00:13:41when they were stopped
00:13:42by Mary's eldest boy
00:13:44being at that moment
00:13:45brought home
00:13:46in consequence of a bad fall.
00:13:49The child's situation
00:13:50put the visit entirely aside,
00:13:52but she could not hear
00:13:54of her escape with indifference,
00:13:57even in the midst
00:13:57of the serious anxiety
00:13:59which they afterwards felt
00:14:00on his account.
00:14:02The child's collarbone
00:14:04was found to be dislocated.
00:14:07It was an afternoon
00:14:08of distress.
00:14:10Anne volunteered to stay.
00:14:13She knew herself
00:14:14to be of the first utility
00:14:15to the child,
00:14:16and what was it to her
00:14:17if Captain Wentworth
00:14:18were only half a mile distant,
00:14:20making himself agreeable
00:14:21to others?
00:14:24She would have liked to know
00:14:25how he felt
00:14:26as to a meeting,
00:14:29perhaps indifferent,
00:14:30if indifference could exist
00:14:32under such circumstances.
00:14:34He must be either
00:14:35indifferent or unwilling.
00:14:37Had he wished ever
00:14:38to see her again,
00:14:39he need not have waited
00:14:40till this time.
00:14:43Mary and Charles
00:14:45came back delighted
00:14:46with their new acquaintance
00:14:48and their visit in general.
00:14:50There had been music,
00:14:52singing, dancing, talking,
00:14:53all that was most agreeable,
00:14:56charming manners
00:14:57in Captain Wentworth.
00:14:58No shyness or reserve.
00:15:00They seemed all to know
00:15:01each other perfectly,
00:15:02and he was coming
00:15:03the very next morning
00:15:05to shoot with Charles.
00:15:07He was coming to breakfast,
00:15:09though he seemed afraid
00:15:11of being in Mary's way
00:15:12on account of the child.
00:15:14Anne understood it.
00:15:16He wished to avoid seeing her.
00:15:19He had inquired after her,
00:15:21she found, slightly,
00:15:23as might suit
00:15:24a former slight acquaintance,
00:15:26seeming to acknowledge
00:15:28such as she had acknowledged,
00:15:30actuated perhaps
00:15:31by the same view
00:15:32of escaping introduction
00:15:33when they were to meet.
00:15:35The morning hours of the cottage
00:15:38were always later
00:15:40than those of the other house,
00:15:42and on the morrow
00:15:43the difference was so great
00:15:44that Mary and Anne
00:15:45were not more than
00:15:46beginning breakfast
00:15:47when Charles returned
00:15:49from Upper Cross,
00:15:51came in to say
00:15:52that they were just setting off
00:15:53and that he was come
00:15:54for his dogs.
00:15:56Captain Wentworth
00:15:57was following Charles
00:15:58soon after
00:15:59to wait on Mary
00:16:00for a few minutes,
00:16:01if not inconvenient,
00:16:02and though Charles
00:16:04had answered
00:16:04for the child's
00:16:05being in no such state
00:16:06as could make it inconvenient,
00:16:09Captain Wentworth
00:16:09would not be satisfied
00:16:11without his running on
00:16:12to give notice.
00:16:15Mary,
00:16:16very much gratified
00:16:17by this attention,
00:16:19was delighted
00:16:19to receive him,
00:16:21while a thousand feelings
00:16:23rushed on Anne,
00:16:24of which this
00:16:26was the most consoling,
00:16:28that it would soon be over.
00:16:30and it was
00:16:33soon over.
00:16:35In two minutes,
00:16:36after Charles's preparation,
00:16:38the others appeared.
00:16:40They were in the drawing room.
00:16:42Her eye
00:16:43half met
00:16:44Captain Wentworth's.
00:16:46A bow?
00:16:47The curtsy passed.
00:16:49She heard his voice.
00:16:50He talked to Mary,
00:16:51said all that was right.
00:16:53The room seemed full,
00:16:55full of persons
00:16:56and voices,
00:16:56but a few minutes
00:16:59ended it.
00:17:01Charles showed himself
00:17:02at the window.
00:17:04All was ready.
00:17:05Their visitor had bowed
00:17:06and was gone
00:17:07shooting with Charles.
00:17:08Louisa and Henrietta
00:17:10were gone too,
00:17:11suddenly resolving
00:17:11to walk to the end
00:17:12of the village
00:17:13with the sportsman.
00:17:14The room was cleared
00:17:16and Anne might finish
00:17:18her breakfast
00:17:18as she could.
00:17:21It is over.
00:17:23It is over,
00:17:24she repeated to herself
00:17:25again and again
00:17:27in nervous gratitude.
00:17:29The worst is over.
00:17:33Mary talked,
00:17:34but she could not attend.
00:17:37She had seen him.
00:17:39They had met.
00:17:41They had been once more
00:17:43in the same room.
00:17:44Soon, however,
00:17:47she began to reason
00:17:48with herself
00:17:49and try to be feeling less.
00:17:52Eight years.
00:17:54Almost eight years
00:17:55had passed
00:17:56since all had been given up.
00:17:58How absurd
00:17:58to be resuming
00:17:59the agitation
00:18:00which such an interval
00:18:01had banished
00:18:02into distance
00:18:03and indistinctness.
00:18:05What might not
00:18:06eight years do?
00:18:10Alas,
00:18:11with all her reasoning
00:18:13she found that
00:18:13to retentive feelings,
00:18:16eight years
00:18:16may be little more
00:18:18than nothing.
00:18:20Now,
00:18:21how were his sentiments
00:18:22to be read?
00:18:23Was this like
00:18:24trying to avoid her?
00:18:26And the next moment
00:18:27she was hating herself
00:18:29for the folly
00:18:29which asked the question.
00:18:31On one other question,
00:18:33which perhaps
00:18:34her utmost wisdom
00:18:35might not have prevented,
00:18:37she was soon
00:18:38spared all suspense.
00:18:39for after Mary
00:18:41had returned
00:18:42she had this
00:18:43spontaneous information.
00:18:46Captain Wentworth
00:18:47is not very gallant
00:18:48by you, Anne,
00:18:49though he was
00:18:49so attentive to me.
00:18:51Henrietta asked him
00:18:52what he thought of you
00:18:53when they went away
00:18:54and he said
00:18:55you were so altered
00:18:56he should not
00:18:57have known you again.
00:18:59Mary had no feelings
00:19:01to make her
00:19:02respect her sisters
00:19:03in a common way,
00:19:04but she was
00:19:05perfectly unsuspicious
00:19:06of being inflicting
00:19:07any particular wound.
00:19:11Altered beyond
00:19:11his knowledge.
00:19:14Anne fully submitted
00:19:16in silent,
00:19:18deep mortification.
00:19:20Doubtless it was so.
00:19:22And she could take
00:19:23no such revenge,
00:19:24for he was not altered
00:19:26or not for the worse.
00:19:28She had already
00:19:28acknowledged it to herself
00:19:30and could not
00:19:30think differently.
00:19:32Let him think of her
00:19:33as he would.
00:19:34No,
00:19:36the years
00:19:37which had destroyed
00:19:38her youth and bloom
00:19:39had only given him
00:19:41a more glowing,
00:19:42manly,
00:19:43open look,
00:19:44in no respect
00:19:45lessening
00:19:46his personal advantages.
00:19:49She had seen
00:19:50the same,
00:19:51Captain Wentworth.
00:19:54So altered
00:19:55that he should not
00:19:57have known her again.
00:19:59These were words
00:20:01which could not
00:20:01but dwell with her.
00:20:04Captain Wentworth
00:20:06had used such words
00:20:08or something like them
00:20:09but without an idea
00:20:11that they would be
00:20:11carried round to her.
00:20:13He had thought her
00:20:14wretchedly altered
00:20:15and in the first moment
00:20:17of appeal
00:20:17had spoken as he felt.
00:20:20He had not forgiven
00:20:21Anne Elliot.
00:20:23She had used him ill,
00:20:26deserted and disappointed him
00:20:28and worse,
00:20:29she had shown a feebleness
00:20:30of character in doing so
00:20:31which his own decided,
00:20:33confident temper
00:20:34could not endure.
00:20:36She had given him up
00:20:37to oblige others.
00:20:40It had been the effect
00:20:41of over-persuasion.
00:20:44He had been most warmly
00:20:47attached to her
00:20:47and had never seen
00:20:49a woman since
00:20:50whom he thought her equal
00:20:51but except from some
00:20:54natural sensation
00:20:55of curiosity
00:20:56he had no desire
00:20:57of meeting her again.
00:20:59Her power with him
00:21:00was gone forever.
00:21:03It was now
00:21:04his object
00:21:05to marry.
00:21:07He was rich
00:21:08and being turned
00:21:09on shore
00:21:10fully intended
00:21:11to settle
00:21:12as soon as he could
00:21:13be properly tempted.
00:21:14Actually looking round
00:21:15ready to fall in love
00:21:17with all the speed
00:21:18which a clear head
00:21:19and a quick taste
00:21:20could allow.
00:21:22He had a heart
00:21:23for either of the Miss Musgroves
00:21:25if they could catch it.
00:21:26A heart, in short,
00:21:27for any pleasing young woman
00:21:29who came in his way
00:21:30excepting Anne Elliot.
00:21:33From this time
00:21:49Captain Wentworth
00:21:50and Anne Elliot
00:21:51were repeatedly
00:21:52in the same circle.
00:21:54They had no conversation
00:21:55together,
00:21:56no intercourse
00:21:57but what the
00:21:58commonest civility
00:21:59required.
00:22:01Once so much
00:22:02to each other.
00:22:04Now nothing.
00:22:06It was a perpetual
00:22:07estrangement.
00:22:10Which of the two
00:22:11Musgrove sisters
00:22:12was preferred
00:22:13by Captain Wentworth
00:22:14was as yet
00:22:15quite doubtful
00:22:16as far as Anne's
00:22:17observation reached.
00:22:19Henrietta was perhaps
00:22:20the prettiest,
00:22:21Louisa had the
00:22:22higher spirits
00:22:23and she knew not now
00:22:24whether the more gentle
00:22:25or the more lively
00:22:26character
00:22:27were most likely
00:22:28to attract him.
00:22:30After a short struggle,
00:22:31however,
00:22:32it became clear
00:22:33that Henrietta
00:22:34would return
00:22:35to her former suitor,
00:22:37a Mr. Hater.
00:22:39Everything now
00:22:40marked out Louisa
00:22:41for Captain Wentworth.
00:22:44Nothing could be plainer.
00:22:47Meanwhile,
00:22:48a letter from Captain Wentworth's friend,
00:22:51Captain Harville,
00:22:52brought intelligence
00:22:53of Captain Harville's
00:22:54being settled
00:22:55with his family
00:22:56at Lyme
00:22:57for the winter.
00:22:59Captain Wentworth's description
00:23:00of the fine country
00:23:01about Lyme
00:23:02was so feelingly
00:23:03attended to
00:23:04by the party
00:23:05in Upper Cross
00:23:06that an earnest desire
00:23:07to see Lyme themselves
00:23:09and a project
00:23:10for going thither
00:23:11was the consequence.
00:23:13To Lyme
00:23:13they were to go.
00:23:15Charles,
00:23:16Mary,
00:23:16Anne,
00:23:17Henrietta,
00:23:18Louisa
00:23:18and Captain Wentworth.
00:23:21After securing
00:23:22accommodations
00:23:23and ordering a dinner
00:23:24at one of the inns,
00:23:25the next thing
00:23:26to be done
00:23:27was unquestionably
00:23:28to walk directly
00:23:29down to the sea.
00:23:30The party
00:23:31from Upper Cross
00:23:32soon found themselves
00:23:34on the seashore
00:23:35and lingering only
00:23:36as all must linger
00:23:38and gaze
00:23:38on a first return
00:23:39to the sea
00:23:40proceeded towards
00:23:41the Cobb,
00:23:42equally their object
00:23:44in itself
00:23:44and on Captain
00:23:46Wentworth's account
00:23:47for in a small house
00:23:49near the foot
00:23:49of an old pier
00:23:50of unknown date
00:23:51were the Harvilles
00:23:53settled.
00:23:54Captain Wentworth
00:23:56turned in
00:23:57to call
00:23:57on his friend.
00:23:59The others
00:23:59walked on
00:24:00and he was
00:24:01to join them
00:24:02on the Cobb.
00:24:04Captain Harville,
00:24:05though not equaling
00:24:06Captain Wentworth
00:24:07in manners,
00:24:08was a perfect gentleman,
00:24:10unaffected,
00:24:12warm
00:24:12and obliging.
00:24:15Mrs Harville,
00:24:16a degree less polished
00:24:17than her husband,
00:24:19seemed, however,
00:24:19to have the same
00:24:20good feelings
00:24:21and nothing could be
00:24:22more pleasant
00:24:23than their desire
00:24:24of considering
00:24:25the whole party
00:24:26as friends
00:24:27of their own.
00:24:29Their friend,
00:24:29Captain Benwick,
00:24:30the youngest of the
00:24:31three captains,
00:24:32was compared with
00:24:33either of them
00:24:34a little man,
00:24:35though he had
00:24:36a pleasing face
00:24:37and a melancholy air.
00:24:40There was so much
00:24:41attachment to Captain
00:24:42Wentworth in all this
00:24:44and such a bewitching
00:24:45charm in a degree
00:24:46of hospitality
00:24:47so uncommon
00:24:47that Anne felt
00:24:49her spirits
00:24:50not likely
00:24:51to be benefited
00:24:52by an increasing
00:24:52acquaintance
00:24:53among his brother
00:24:54officers.
00:24:57These would have
00:24:58been all my friends,
00:25:00was her thought,
00:25:01and she had to struggle
00:25:02against a great
00:25:03tendency to lowness.
00:25:06They all went indoors
00:25:07with their new friends
00:25:09and found rooms
00:25:10so small
00:25:11as none but those
00:25:12who invite from the heart
00:25:14could think capable
00:25:15of accommodating
00:25:15so many.
00:25:17Anne thought she left
00:25:19great happiness
00:25:20behind her
00:25:20when they quitted
00:25:21the house
00:25:22and Louisa burst
00:25:23forth into raptures
00:25:24of admiration
00:25:25and delight
00:25:26on the character
00:25:26of the Navy,
00:25:28their friendliness,
00:25:29their brotherliness,
00:25:30their openness,
00:25:31their uprightness,
00:25:32protesting that she
00:25:33was convinced
00:25:34of sailors having
00:25:35more worth and warmth
00:25:36than any other set
00:25:38of men in England.
00:25:40Anne and Henrietta,
00:25:42finding themselves
00:25:43the earliest of the party
00:25:44the next morning,
00:25:45agreed to stroll
00:25:46down to the sea
00:25:47before breakfast.
00:25:50They went to the sands
00:25:51to watch the flowing
00:25:52of the tide
00:25:53which a fine
00:25:54south-easterly breeze
00:25:55was bringing in
00:25:56with all the grandeur
00:25:58which so flat ashore
00:25:59admitted.
00:26:00Presently,
00:26:01Louisa and Captain
00:26:03Wentworth joined them.
00:26:05When they came
00:26:06to the steps
00:26:07leading upwards
00:26:08from the beach,
00:26:09a gentleman,
00:26:10at the same moment
00:26:11preparing to come down,
00:26:13politely drew back
00:26:15and stopped
00:26:16to give them way.
00:26:18They ascended
00:26:19and passed him
00:26:20and as they passed,
00:26:21Anne's face
00:26:22caught his eye
00:26:23and he looked at her
00:26:24with a degree
00:26:25of earnest admiration
00:26:26which she could not
00:26:28be insensible of.
00:26:29She was looking
00:26:31remarkably well,
00:26:32her very regular,
00:26:34very pretty features
00:26:35having the bloom
00:26:36and freshness
00:26:37of youth
00:26:37restored by the
00:26:38fine wind
00:26:39which had been blowing
00:26:40on her complexion
00:26:41and by the animation
00:26:44of eye
00:26:44which it had also
00:26:46produced.
00:26:47It was evident
00:26:49that the gentleman
00:26:50admired her
00:26:51exceedingly.
00:26:52Captain Wentworth
00:26:55looked round
00:26:56at her instantly
00:26:57in a way
00:26:57which showed
00:26:58his noticing of it.
00:27:00He gave her
00:27:00a momentary glance,
00:27:02a glance of brightness
00:27:03which seemed to say,
00:27:05that man is struck
00:27:06with you
00:27:06and even I
00:27:07at this moment
00:27:08see something
00:27:09like Anne Elliot
00:27:10again.
00:27:12After loitering
00:27:13about a little longer
00:27:14they returned
00:27:15to the inn
00:27:16and Anne
00:27:17in passing afterwards
00:27:18quickly from her own
00:27:19chamber to their
00:27:20dining room
00:27:21had nearly run
00:27:22against the very
00:27:22same gentleman
00:27:23as he came out
00:27:25of an adjoining
00:27:26apartment.
00:27:27She had before
00:27:28conjectured him
00:27:29to be a stranger
00:27:30like themselves
00:27:31and determined
00:27:33that a well-looking
00:27:34groom who was
00:27:35strolling about
00:27:35near the inn
00:27:36as they came back
00:27:37should be his servant.
00:27:40It was now proved
00:27:41that he belonged
00:27:42to the same inn
00:27:43as themselves
00:27:43and this second
00:27:45meeting,
00:27:45short as it was,
00:27:47also proved again
00:27:48by the gentleman's
00:27:49looks
00:27:49that he thought
00:27:50hers very lovely
00:27:52and by the readiness
00:27:53and propriety
00:27:54of his apologies
00:27:55that he was a man
00:27:56of exceedingly
00:27:57good manners.
00:27:59He seemed about
00:27:59thirty
00:28:00and though not
00:28:01handsome
00:28:02had an agreeable
00:28:03person
00:28:04and felt
00:28:05that she should
00:28:06like to know
00:28:07who he was.
00:28:10The following day
00:28:11they had nearly
00:28:12done breakfast
00:28:13when the sound
00:28:14of a carriage
00:28:14drew half the party
00:28:16to the window.
00:28:17It was a gentleman's
00:28:18carriage,
00:28:19a curacle
00:28:19but only coming
00:28:21round from the
00:28:21stable yard
00:28:22to the front door
00:28:23somebody must
00:28:24be going away.
00:28:26It was driven
00:28:27by a servant
00:28:28in mourning.
00:28:29The curacle
00:28:30made Charles Musgrove
00:28:32jump up
00:28:32that he might
00:28:33compare it
00:28:34with his own.
00:28:35The servant
00:28:35in mourning
00:28:36roused Anne's
00:28:37curiosity
00:28:38and the whole
00:28:39six were collected
00:28:40to look
00:28:40by the time
00:28:41the owner
00:28:42of the curacle
00:28:42was to be seen
00:28:43issuing from the door
00:28:44amidst the bows
00:28:46and civilities
00:28:46of the household
00:28:47and taking his seat
00:28:49to drive off.
00:28:50Ah!
00:28:51cried Captain Wentworth
00:28:52instantly
00:28:53and with half a glance
00:28:54at Anne
00:28:55it is the very man
00:28:56we passed.
00:28:58Henrietta
00:28:58and Louisa
00:28:59agreed
00:29:00and having all
00:29:01kindly watched him
00:29:02as far up the hill
00:29:03as they could
00:29:04they returned
00:29:05to the breakfast table.
00:29:07The waiter came
00:29:08into the room
00:29:09soon afterwards.
00:29:10Pray!
00:29:11said Captain Wentworth
00:29:12immediately.
00:29:12can you tell us
00:29:13the name
00:29:14of the gentleman
00:29:14who has just
00:29:15gone away?
00:29:16Yes sir?
00:29:17A Mr Elliot
00:29:18a gentleman
00:29:19of large fortune
00:29:20come in last night
00:29:21from Sidmouth.
00:29:23Elliot!
00:29:25Many had looked
00:29:26on each other
00:29:26and many had
00:29:27repeated the name
00:29:28before all this
00:29:29had been got through
00:29:30even by the smart
00:29:32rapidity of a waiter.
00:29:34Bless me!
00:29:34cried Mary
00:29:35it must be
00:29:36our cousin
00:29:37it must be
00:29:38our Mr William Elliot
00:29:39it must indeed
00:29:40Charles
00:29:41Anne
00:29:42must not it
00:29:43how very extraordinary
00:29:45in the same inn
00:29:46with us
00:29:47Anne
00:29:48must not it
00:29:49be our Mr Elliot
00:29:50my father's next heir?
00:29:54Breakfast
00:29:54had not been long over
00:29:56when they were joined
00:29:57by Captain
00:29:58and Mrs Harville
00:29:59and Captain Benwick
00:30:00with whom they had appointed
00:30:01to take their last walk
00:30:03about Lyme.
00:30:05They ought to be
00:30:06setting off
00:30:06for upper cross
00:30:07by one
00:30:07and in the meanwhile
00:30:08were to be all together
00:30:10and out of doors
00:30:11as long as they could.
00:30:14There was too much wind
00:30:15to make the high part
00:30:17of the new cob
00:30:18pleasant for the ladies
00:30:19and they agreed
00:30:20to get down the steps
00:30:21to the lower
00:30:22and were all contented
00:30:24to pass quietly
00:30:25and carefully
00:30:25down the steep flight
00:30:27excepting Louisa.
00:30:29She must be jumped
00:30:30down them
00:30:31by Captain Wentworth.
00:30:33In all their walks
00:30:35Captain Wentworth
00:30:36had had to jump Louisa
00:30:37from the styles.
00:30:38The sensation
00:30:39was delightful to her.
00:30:41The hardness
00:30:42of the pavement
00:30:42for her feet
00:30:43made him less willing
00:30:44upon the present occasion.
00:30:46He did it, however.
00:30:48She was safely down
00:30:49and instantly
00:30:50to show her enjoyment
00:30:52ran up the steps
00:30:53to be jumped down again.
00:30:55He advised her
00:30:56against it
00:30:56thought the jar
00:30:57too great
00:30:58but no
00:30:59he reasoned
00:31:00and talked in vain.
00:31:01She smiled
00:31:02and said
00:31:02I am determined
00:31:03I will.
00:31:05He put out his hands.
00:31:06She was too precipitous
00:31:08by half a second.
00:31:09She fell on the pavement
00:31:11on the lower cob
00:31:12and was taken up
00:31:13lifeless.
00:31:14There was no wound
00:31:16no blood
00:31:17no visible bruise
00:31:18but her eyes
00:31:20were closed.
00:31:21She breathed not.
00:31:23Her face
00:31:23was like death.
00:31:26She is dead!
00:31:28She is dead!
00:31:29screamed Mary
00:31:30catching hold
00:31:31of her husband
00:31:32and contributing
00:31:33with his own horror
00:31:34to make him immovable
00:31:35and in another moment
00:31:37Henrietta
00:31:37sinking under the conviction
00:31:39lost her senses too
00:31:41and would have fallen
00:31:42on the steps
00:31:42but for Captain Benwick
00:31:44and Anne
00:31:44who caught
00:31:45and supported her
00:31:46between them.
00:31:48Is there no one
00:31:48to help me?
00:31:50were the first words
00:31:51which burst
00:31:52from Captain Wentworth
00:31:53in a tone of despair
00:31:54and as if all
00:31:55his own strength
00:31:56were gone
00:31:57go to him
00:31:57go to him
00:31:58cried Anne
00:31:59for heaven's sake
00:32:00go to him
00:32:01I can support her myself
00:32:02leave me
00:32:03and go to him
00:32:04rub her hands
00:32:05rub her temples
00:32:06here are salts
00:32:07take them
00:32:08take them
00:32:08Louisa was raised up
00:32:10and supported
00:32:11more firmly
00:32:12between them
00:32:12and everything was done
00:32:13that Anne had prompted
00:32:14but in vain
00:32:15while Captain Wentworth
00:32:17staggering against the wall
00:32:19for his support
00:32:20exclaimed in the bitterest agony
00:32:22oh god
00:32:23her father
00:32:24and mother
00:32:25a surgeon
00:32:26said Anne
00:32:27he caught the word
00:32:29it seemed to rouse him
00:32:30at once
00:32:30and saying only
00:32:31true
00:32:31true
00:32:32a surgeon
00:32:33this instant
00:32:34was darting away
00:32:35when Anne eagerly suggested
00:32:37had not she better
00:32:38be carried to the inn
00:32:39yes
00:32:40I am sure
00:32:40carry her gently
00:32:41to the inn
00:32:42yes
00:32:42yes
00:32:43to the inn
00:32:44repeated Captain Wentworth
00:32:45comparatively collected
00:32:47and eager to be doing something
00:32:48I will carry her myself
00:32:50the surgeon
00:32:52was with them
00:32:53almost before
00:32:54it had seemed possible
00:32:56they were sick
00:32:57with horror
00:32:58while he examined
00:32:59but he was not hopeless
00:33:01the head
00:33:02had received
00:33:03a severe contusion
00:33:04but he had seen
00:33:05greater injuries
00:33:06recovered from
00:33:07he was by no means
00:33:08hopeless
00:33:09he spoke
00:33:10cheerfully
00:33:11it now
00:33:13became necessary
00:33:14for the party
00:33:15to consider
00:33:15what was best
00:33:16to be done
00:33:17as to their
00:33:17general
00:33:18situation
00:33:19that Louisa
00:33:21must remain
00:33:21where she was
00:33:22however distressing
00:33:23to her friends
00:33:24to be involving
00:33:24the Harvilles
00:33:25in such trouble
00:33:26did not admit
00:33:28a doubt
00:33:28Captain Wentworth
00:33:31exerting himself
00:33:32said
00:33:32we must be decided
00:33:34and without
00:33:35the loss
00:33:36of another minute
00:33:37every minute
00:33:38is valuable
00:33:38someone must resolve
00:33:40on being off
00:33:40for Uppercross
00:33:41instantly
00:33:42Musgrove
00:33:42either you
00:33:43or I
00:33:44must go
00:33:45Charles agreed
00:33:46but declared
00:33:47his resolution
00:33:48of not going away
00:33:49he would be
00:33:50as little encumbrance
00:33:52as possible
00:33:52to Captain Harville
00:33:53and Mrs Harville
00:33:55but as to leaving
00:33:56his sister
00:33:56in such a state
00:33:57he neither ought
00:33:58nor would
00:33:59the plan
00:34:01had reached
00:34:02this point
00:34:03when Anne
00:34:04coming quietly
00:34:05down from
00:34:06Louisa's room
00:34:06could not but hear
00:34:08what followed
00:34:09for the parlour
00:34:10door was open
00:34:11then it is settled
00:34:13Musgrove
00:34:14cried Captain Wentworth
00:34:15that you stay
00:34:16and that I take
00:34:17your sister
00:34:18Henrietta home
00:34:19but as to the rest
00:34:20as to the others
00:34:21if one stays
00:34:22to assist Mrs Harville
00:34:23I think if Anne
00:34:25will stay
00:34:26no one so proper
00:34:27no one so capable
00:34:29as Anne
00:34:29Anne paused
00:34:33a moment
00:34:33to recover
00:34:34from the emotion
00:34:35of hearing herself
00:34:37so spoken of
00:34:38the other two
00:34:39warmly agreed
00:34:40with what he said
00:34:41and then she appeared
00:34:43you will stay
00:34:46I'm sure
00:34:47you will stay
00:34:48and nurse her
00:34:49cried he
00:34:50turning to her
00:34:51and speaking
00:34:52with a glow
00:34:53and yet a gentleness
00:34:54which seemed
00:34:55almost restoring
00:34:57the past
00:34:58when she could
00:35:01command Mary's
00:35:01attention
00:35:02Anne quietly
00:35:03tried to convince
00:35:04her that their
00:35:05father and Mr Elliot
00:35:06had not for many
00:35:07years been on
00:35:09such terms
00:35:09as to make
00:35:10the power of
00:35:11attempting an
00:35:11introduction
00:35:12at all
00:35:13desirable
00:35:14at the same time
00:35:16however
00:35:17it was a secret
00:35:18gratification
00:35:19to herself
00:35:20to have seen
00:35:21her cousin
00:35:22and to know
00:35:23that the future
00:35:24owner of Kellynch
00:35:25was undoubtedly
00:35:26a gentleman
00:35:28Elizabeth's last
00:35:42letter had
00:35:43communicated a
00:35:44piece of news
00:35:45of some interest
00:35:46Mr Elliot
00:35:47was in Bath
00:35:49Lady Russell
00:35:51was in a state
00:35:51of very agreeable
00:35:53curiosity
00:35:53and perplexity
00:35:54about Mr Elliot
00:35:55Anne was not
00:35:57animated to an
00:35:58equal pitch
00:35:59by the circumstance
00:36:00but she felt
00:36:01that she would
00:36:02rather see
00:36:02Mr Elliot again
00:36:03than not
00:36:04which was more
00:36:05than she could
00:36:05say for many
00:36:06other persons
00:36:07in Bath
00:36:07she was put
00:36:09down in
00:36:10Camden Place
00:36:11her father's
00:36:12new lodgings
00:36:13in Bath
00:36:13a degree
00:36:15of unexpected
00:36:16cordiality
00:36:17and the welcome
00:36:18she received
00:36:19did Anne good
00:36:20her making a
00:36:21fourth when
00:36:22they sat down
00:36:23to dinner
00:36:23was noticed
00:36:24as an advantage
00:36:25Anne had a
00:36:27great deal
00:36:28to hear
00:36:29of Mr Elliot
00:36:30he was not
00:36:31only pardoned
00:36:32they were
00:36:33delighted with
00:36:34him
00:36:34they had not
00:36:36a fault
00:36:36to find
00:36:37in him
00:36:38he had explained
00:36:39away all the
00:36:40appearance of
00:36:41neglect
00:36:41on his own
00:36:42side
00:36:42it had
00:36:43originated
00:36:44in misapprehension
00:36:45entirely
00:36:46Anne listened
00:36:48but without
00:36:50quite understanding
00:36:51it
00:36:52allowances
00:36:53large
00:36:54allowances
00:36:55she knew
00:36:55must be made
00:36:56for the ideas
00:36:57of those
00:36:57who spoke
00:36:58Anne was
00:37:00considering
00:37:01when a knock
00:37:02at the door
00:37:03suspended
00:37:03everything
00:37:04a knock
00:37:05at the door
00:37:06and so late
00:37:07it was
00:37:08ten o'clock
00:37:09could it be
00:37:11Mr Elliot
00:37:11with all
00:37:15the state
00:37:15which a butler
00:37:16and footboy
00:37:17could give
00:37:18Mr Elliot
00:37:19was ushered
00:37:20into the room
00:37:21it was the same
00:37:23the very same
00:37:25man
00:37:25with no difference
00:37:27but of dress
00:37:28Anne drew
00:37:30a little back
00:37:31while the others
00:37:32received his compliments
00:37:33Sir Walter
00:37:35talked of his
00:37:36youngest daughter
00:37:36and Anne
00:37:38smiling
00:37:38and blushing
00:37:39very becomingly
00:37:40showed to Mr Elliot
00:37:42the pretty features
00:37:43which he had
00:37:44by no means
00:37:45forgotten
00:37:45and instantly
00:37:47saw with amusement
00:37:48at his little
00:37:48start of surprise
00:37:50that he had not
00:37:51been at all
00:37:51aware
00:37:52of who she was
00:37:53he looked
00:37:55completely astonished
00:37:57but not more
00:37:58astonished
00:37:59than pleased
00:38:01his eyes
00:38:02brightened
00:38:03and with the most
00:38:05perfect alacrity
00:38:06he welcomed
00:38:07the relationship
00:38:08alluded to the past
00:38:09and entreated
00:38:10to be received
00:38:11as an acquaintance
00:38:12already
00:38:13he was quite
00:38:15as good looking
00:38:16as he had appeared
00:38:17at Lyme
00:38:18his countenance
00:38:19improved
00:38:20by speaking
00:38:20and his manners
00:38:22were so exactly
00:38:23what they ought
00:38:23to be
00:38:24so polished
00:38:25so easy
00:38:26so particularly
00:38:27agreeable
00:38:28that she could
00:38:29compare them
00:38:29in excellence
00:38:30to only one
00:38:31person's manners
00:38:32he stayed
00:38:35an hour
00:38:36with them
00:38:37the elegant
00:38:39little clock
00:38:39on the mantelpiece
00:38:40had struck
00:38:41eleven
00:38:41with its silver
00:38:42sounds
00:38:43before Mr Elliot
00:38:45or any of them
00:38:46seemed to feel
00:38:46that he had been
00:38:47there long
00:38:48Anne could not
00:38:51have supposed
00:38:51it possible
00:38:52that her first
00:38:53evening in Camden
00:38:54place could have
00:38:55passed so well
00:38:56it was now
00:39:01some years
00:39:02since Anne
00:39:03had begun
00:39:04to learn
00:39:04that she
00:39:05and her
00:39:05excellent friend
00:39:06could sometimes
00:39:07think differently
00:39:08and it did not
00:39:10surprise her
00:39:10therefore
00:39:11that Lady Russell
00:39:12should see
00:39:13nothing suspicious
00:39:13or inconsistent
00:39:15nothing to require
00:39:16more motives
00:39:17than appeared
00:39:18in Mr Elliot's
00:39:19great desire
00:39:20of a reconciliation
00:39:22Anne presumed
00:39:25however still
00:39:25to smile
00:39:26about it
00:39:26and at last
00:39:28to mention
00:39:29Elizabeth
00:39:31Lady Russell
00:39:34listened
00:39:34and looked
00:39:36and made
00:39:37only this
00:39:38cautious reply
00:39:39Elizabeth
00:39:41very well
00:39:43time
00:39:44will explain
00:39:45Anne could
00:39:49determine
00:39:49nothing
00:39:50at present
00:39:51Mr Elliot
00:39:53too
00:39:53it must
00:39:53be remembered
00:39:54had not
00:39:54been a
00:39:55widower
00:39:55seven months
00:39:56however
00:39:58it might
00:39:58end
00:39:59he was
00:39:59without
00:40:00any
00:40:00question
00:40:00their
00:40:01pleasantest
00:40:01acquaintance
00:40:02in Bath
00:40:03she saw
00:40:03nobody
00:40:04equal
00:40:04to him
00:40:05they went
00:40:06through
00:40:07the particulars
00:40:07of their
00:40:08first meeting
00:40:09a great
00:40:09many times
00:40:10he gave
00:40:11her to
00:40:12understand
00:40:12that he
00:40:13had looked
00:40:13at her
00:40:14with some
00:40:14earnestness
00:40:15she knew
00:40:17it well
00:40:18and she
00:40:19remembered
00:40:19another
00:40:19person's
00:40:20look
00:40:20also
00:40:21Lady Russell
00:40:24was now
00:40:26perfectly
00:40:27decided
00:40:27in her
00:40:28opinion
00:40:28of Mr Elliot
00:40:29she was
00:40:30as much
00:40:30convinced
00:40:31of his
00:40:31meaning
00:40:32to gain
00:40:32Anne
00:40:33in time
00:40:33as of
00:40:34his
00:40:34deserving
00:40:35her
00:40:35and was
00:40:36beginning
00:40:36to calculate
00:40:37the number
00:40:37of weeks
00:40:38which would
00:40:38free him
00:40:39from all
00:40:40the remaining
00:40:40restraints
00:40:41of widowhood
00:40:42and leave
00:40:43him at liberty
00:40:43to exert
00:40:44his most
00:40:45open powers
00:40:46of pleasing
00:40:46I am no
00:40:48matchmaker
00:40:49as you
00:40:50well know
00:40:51said Lady Russell
00:40:52being much
00:40:53too well aware
00:40:54of the uncertainty
00:40:55of all human
00:40:56events and
00:40:57calculations
00:40:57I only mean
00:41:00that if Mr Elliot
00:41:01should sometime
00:41:02hence pay
00:41:03his addresses
00:41:04to you
00:41:04and if you
00:41:05should be
00:41:06disposed
00:41:06to accept
00:41:07him

00:41:09there would
00:41:09be every
00:41:10possibility
00:41:11of your

00:41:17must consider
00:41:17it

00:41:20be a
00:41:20very
00:41:20happy
00:41:21one
00:41:21Mr Elliot

00:41:25exceedingly
00:41:26agreeable
00:41:27man

00:41:28many
00:41:28respects
00:41:28I think
00:41:29highly
00:41:29of him
00:41:30said
00:41:30Anne
00:41:31but we
00:41:32should
00:41:32not
00:41:33suit
00:41:33Lady Russell
00:41:36let this
00:41:36pass
00:41:37and only
00:41:37said

00:42:20more highly
00:42:20valued
00:42:21my dearest
00:42:24Anne
00:42:24it would
00:42:25give me
00:42:26more
00:42:26delight
00:42:27than is
00:42:27often
00:42:28felt
00:42:29at my
00:42:29time
00:42:29of life
00:42:30Anne
00:42:33was obliged
00:42:34to turn
00:42:35away
00:42:35to rise
00:42:37to walk
00:42:38to a distant
00:42:38table
00:42:39and
00:42:40leaning
00:42:41there
00:42:41in pretended
00:42:42employment
00:42:43try to
00:42:44subdue
00:42:45the feelings
00:42:45this picture
00:42:46excited
00:42:47for a few
00:42:50moments
00:42:50her imagination
00:42:51and her
00:42:52heart
00:42:52were bewitched
00:42:54the idea
00:42:56of becoming
00:42:57what her mother
00:42:57had been
00:42:58of having
00:42:59the precious name
00:43:00of Lady Elliot
00:43:02first revived
00:43:03in herself
00:43:04of being restored
00:43:05to Kellynch
00:43:06calling it her home
00:43:08again
00:43:08her home forever
00:43:10was a charm
00:43:11which she
00:43:12could not
00:43:13immediately
00:43:13resist
00:43:14it was the
00:43:18beginning of
00:43:19February
00:43:19and Anne
00:43:21having been a
00:43:22month in Bath
00:43:23was growing
00:43:24very eager
00:43:24for news
00:43:25from Upper Cross
00:43:26and Lyme
00:43:27she only knew
00:43:29that Henrietta
00:43:29was at home
00:43:30again
00:43:30and that Louisa
00:43:32was still
00:43:32in Lyme
00:43:33and she was
00:43:34thinking of them
00:43:35all very intently
00:43:36one evening
00:43:37when a thicker
00:43:38letter than usual
00:43:39from Mary
00:43:40was delivered
00:43:41to her
00:43:41in Anne's
00:43:44own room
00:43:44she tried
00:43:46to comprehend
00:43:46it
00:43:47the conclusion
00:43:48of the whole
00:43:49was that Louisa
00:43:51and Captain
00:43:52Benwick
00:43:53were engaged
00:43:54if the woman
00:43:56who had been
00:43:57sensible of Captain
00:43:58Wentworth's merits
00:43:59could be allowed
00:44:00to prefer
00:44:00another man
00:44:01certainly there was
00:44:03nothing to be
00:44:04regretted
00:44:04no
00:44:06it was not
00:44:08regret
00:44:08which made
00:44:09Anne's heart
00:44:10beat in spite
00:44:11of herself
00:44:12and brought
00:44:13the colour
00:44:13into her cheeks
00:44:14when she thought
00:44:15of Captain
00:44:15Wentworth
00:44:16unshackled
00:44:17and free
00:44:18she had
00:44:19some feelings
00:44:20which she was
00:44:21ashamed to
00:44:22investigate
00:44:23they were too much
00:44:25like joy
00:44:25senseless joy
00:44:28that evening
00:44:31that evening
00:44:32at the concert
00:44:34the party was divided
00:44:35and disposed of
00:44:36on two contiguous
00:44:38benches
00:44:38Anne was among
00:44:40those on the foremost
00:44:41and Mr Elliot
00:44:43had manoeuvred so well
00:44:45as to have a seat
00:44:46by her
00:44:47towards the close
00:44:49towards the close of it
00:44:49in the interval
00:44:50succeeding
00:44:51an Italian song
00:44:52she explained
00:44:53the words of the song
00:44:54to Mr Elliot
00:44:55though
00:44:56she said demurely
00:44:57I'm a very poor
00:44:59Italian scholar
00:45:00yes
00:45:02yes
00:45:03I see you are
00:45:05I see you know
00:45:07nothing
00:45:08of the matter
00:45:09you have only
00:45:10knowledge enough
00:45:11of the language
00:45:11to translate
00:45:12at sight
00:45:13these inverted
00:45:14transposed
00:45:16curtailed
00:45:16Italian lines
00:45:17into clear
00:45:18comprehensible
00:45:19elegant
00:45:20English
00:45:21for shame
00:45:23for shame
00:45:24this is too much
00:45:25flattery
00:45:26I forget
00:45:27what we are to have next
00:45:30turning to the bill
00:45:32the name
00:45:35of Anne Elliot
00:45:36said he
00:45:37has long
00:45:38had an interesting
00:45:39sound to me
00:45:41very long
00:45:43has it possessed
00:45:44a charm
00:45:44over my fancy
00:45:45and if I dared
00:45:47I would breathe
00:45:48my wishes
00:45:49that the name
00:45:50might never change
00:45:52such she believed
00:45:56were his words
00:45:56but scarcely
00:45:57had she received
00:45:58their sound
00:45:59than her attention
00:46:00was caught
00:46:00by other sounds
00:46:01immediately behind her
00:46:02which rendered
00:46:03everything else
00:46:04trivial
00:46:05Anne's eyes
00:46:07had caught
00:46:07the right direction
00:46:08and distinguished
00:46:10Captain Wentworth
00:46:11standing among
00:46:12a cluster of men
00:46:13at a little distance
00:46:15as her eyes
00:46:17fell on him
00:46:18his
00:46:19seemed to be
00:46:20withdrawn from her
00:46:21when able
00:46:23to turn
00:46:24and look
00:46:24as she had done
00:46:25before
00:46:25she found herself
00:46:27accosted
00:46:28by Captain Wentworth
00:46:29in a reserved
00:46:30yet hurried
00:46:31sort of farewell
00:46:32he must wish her
00:46:33good night
00:46:34he was going
00:46:35he should get home
00:46:37as fast as he could
00:46:38is not
00:46:40this song
00:46:41worth staying for
00:46:42said Anne
00:46:43suddenly struck
00:46:44by an idea
00:46:44which made her
00:46:45yet more anxious
00:46:46to be encouraging
00:46:47no
00:46:48he replied impressively
00:46:49there is nothing
00:46:51worth my staying for
00:46:52and he was gone
00:46:53directly
00:46:54jealousy
00:46:56of Mr Elliot
00:46:58it was the only
00:47:01intelligible motive
00:47:02Captain Wentworth
00:47:05jealous
00:47:05of her affection
00:47:07for a moment
00:47:09the gratification
00:47:10was exquisite
00:47:11but alas
00:47:14there were
00:47:15very different
00:47:16thoughts to succeed
00:47:17how was such
00:47:18jealousy
00:47:19to be quieted
00:47:20how was the truth
00:47:22to reach him
00:47:23how
00:47:24in all the
00:47:25peculiar
00:47:26disadvantages
00:47:27of their respective
00:47:28situations
00:47:29would he ever learn
00:47:31of her real
00:47:32sentiments
00:47:33Anne
00:47:48was also
00:47:49renewing
00:47:50an acquaintance
00:47:51of a very
00:47:51different description
00:47:52in Bath
00:47:53Mrs Smith
00:47:55had shown
00:47:56her kindness
00:47:57in one of those
00:47:58periods of her life
00:47:59when it had been
00:48:00most valuable
00:48:01Anne
00:48:02had gone unhappy
00:48:03to school
00:48:04grieving for the loss
00:48:06of a mother
00:48:06whom she had dearly loved
00:48:08feeling her separation
00:48:09from home
00:48:10and suffering
00:48:12as a girl of 14
00:48:13of strong sensibility
00:48:15and not high spirits
00:48:17must suffer
00:48:18at such a time
00:48:19Mrs Smith
00:48:21three years older
00:48:23than herself
00:48:23had been useful
00:48:25and good to her
00:48:26in a way which
00:48:27had considerably
00:48:27lessened her misery
00:48:29and could never be
00:48:30remembered
00:48:31with indifference
00:48:32Mrs Smith
00:48:34was said
00:48:34to have married
00:48:35a man of fortune
00:48:36and this was all
00:48:37that Anne had known
00:48:38of her
00:48:39till now
00:48:40that their governesses
00:48:41account brought
00:48:42her situation forward
00:48:43in a more decided
00:48:45but very different
00:48:46form
00:48:47she was a widow
00:48:49and poor
00:48:50her husband
00:48:53had been extravagant
00:48:54and at his death
00:48:55about two years
00:48:56before
00:48:57had left his affairs
00:48:58dreadfully involved
00:49:00she had come to Bath
00:49:02and was now
00:49:03in lodgings
00:49:04near the hot baths
00:49:06living in a very
00:49:07humble way
00:49:08unable even to
00:49:09afford herself
00:49:10the comfort of a servant
00:49:11and of course
00:49:13almost excluded
00:49:14from society
00:49:15Anne recollected
00:49:18with pleasure
00:49:18the next morning
00:49:19of her promise
00:49:20of going to Mrs Smith
00:49:21meaning that it should
00:49:23engage her from home
00:49:24at the time
00:49:24when Mr Elliot
00:49:25would be most likely
00:49:26to call
00:49:27for to avoid
00:49:28Mr Elliot
00:49:29was almost
00:49:30a first object
00:49:31an account
00:49:33of the concert
00:49:34was immediately
00:49:35claimed
00:49:36and Anne's
00:49:37recollection
00:49:37of the concert
00:49:38were quite happy
00:49:39enough to animate
00:49:40her features
00:49:40and make her
00:49:42rejoice to talk
00:49:43of it
00:49:43after a short
00:49:46silence
00:49:47pray
00:49:49said Mrs Smith
00:49:51is Mr Elliot
00:49:53aware of your
00:49:54acquaintance
00:49:55with me
00:49:56does he know
00:49:57that I am in Bath
00:49:58Mr Elliot
00:50:00repeated Anne
00:50:02looking up surprised
00:50:03are you acquainted
00:50:04with Mr Elliot
00:50:05I have been
00:50:07a good deal
00:50:08acquainted with him
00:50:09replied Mrs Smith
00:50:11gravely
00:50:12Anne had forgotten
00:50:15in the interest
00:50:17of her own
00:50:17family concerns
00:50:18how much
00:50:19had been
00:50:20originally implied
00:50:21against him
00:50:22but her attention
00:50:23was now called
00:50:24to the explanation
00:50:25of those first hints
00:50:27and she listened
00:50:28to a recital
00:50:29which proved him
00:50:30very deficient
00:50:31both in justice
00:50:32and compassion
00:50:33she learned
00:50:35that Mr Elliot
00:50:36had led
00:50:37Mrs Smith's husband
00:50:38into expenses
00:50:39much beyond
00:50:40his fortune
00:50:41it was not
00:50:43till his death
00:50:43that the wretched
00:50:44state of his affairs
00:50:46was fully known
00:50:47Mr Smith
00:50:49had appointed him
00:50:50the executor
00:50:51of his will
00:50:52but Mr Elliot
00:50:53would not act
00:50:54and the difficulties
00:50:55and distress
00:50:56which this refusal
00:50:58had heaped on her
00:50:59in addition
00:50:59to the inevitable
00:51:00sufferings
00:51:01of her situation
00:51:02had been such
00:51:03as could not
00:51:04be related
00:51:05without anguish
00:51:06of spirit
00:51:06or listened to
00:51:08without corresponding
00:51:09indignation
00:51:10it was a dreadful
00:51:14picture
00:51:14of ingratitude
00:51:16and inhumanity
00:51:17and Anne felt
00:51:18at some moments
00:51:19that no flagrant
00:51:21open crime
00:51:22could have been worse
00:51:22Anne could just
00:51:25acknowledge
00:51:25within herself
00:51:27such a possibility
00:51:29of having been
00:51:29induced to marry him
00:51:31as made her shudder
00:51:32at the idea
00:51:33of the misery
00:51:34which must have followed
00:51:35it was just possible
00:51:38that she might have
00:51:39been persuaded
00:51:40by Lady Russell
00:51:42one day only
00:51:45had passed
00:51:46since Anne's
00:51:47conversation
00:51:47with Mrs Smith
00:51:48the Musgroves
00:51:50had recently arrived
00:51:51at their bath lodgings
00:51:52and Anne had promised
00:51:54to pass the whole day
00:51:55with them
00:51:55from breakfast
00:51:56to dinner
00:51:57but when she reached
00:51:59the Musgroves lodgings
00:52:00she found herself
00:52:01neither arriving
00:52:02quite in time
00:52:03nor the first to arrive
00:52:05the party before her
00:52:08were only Captain Harville
00:52:09and Captain Wentworth
00:52:11she immediately heard
00:52:12that Mary and Henrietta
00:52:14too impatient to wait
00:52:15had gone out
00:52:16the moment the rain
00:52:17had cleared
00:52:17Captain Wentworth
00:52:19was writing a letter
00:52:21on behalf of Captain Harville
00:52:23Anne's eyes
00:52:25instinctively glanced
00:52:27towards the distant table
00:52:28Captain Wentworth's pen
00:52:31ceased to move
00:52:32his head was raised
00:52:34pausing
00:52:34listening
00:52:35and he turned round
00:52:37the next instant
00:52:38to give a look
00:52:39one quick
00:52:41conscious look at her
00:52:42Captain Harville
00:52:47now left his seat
00:52:48and moved towards Anne
00:52:50look here
00:52:52said he
00:52:53unfolding a parcel
00:52:55in his hand
00:52:56and displaying
00:52:57a small miniature painting
00:52:59do you know
00:53:01who that is
00:53:02certainly
00:53:04Captain Benwick
00:53:05yes
00:53:06and you may guess
00:53:08who it is for
00:53:09but it was not
00:53:11done for Louisa
00:53:13it was done
00:53:14for his first wife
00:53:15Fanny
00:53:16and with a quivering
00:53:18lip
00:53:19he wound up
00:53:20the hole
00:53:20by adding
00:53:21poor Fanny
00:53:23she would not
00:53:25have forgotten
00:53:25him so soon
00:53:27no
00:53:28replied Anne
00:53:30in a low
00:53:30feeling voice
00:53:31it would not
00:53:33be the nature
00:53:33of any woman
00:53:34who truly loved
00:53:35Captain Harville
00:53:37smiled as much
00:53:38as to say
00:53:39do you claim
00:53:40that for your sex
00:53:41she answered
00:53:43the question
00:53:44smiling also
00:53:45yes
00:53:46we certainly
00:53:47do not forget
00:53:48you as soon
00:53:49as you forget
00:53:50us
00:53:51it is perhaps
00:53:52our fate
00:53:53rather than
00:53:53our merit
00:53:54we cannot help
00:53:55ourselves
00:53:56all the privilege
00:53:58I claim for my
00:53:59own sex
00:54:00is that of
00:54:01loving longest
00:54:02when existence
00:54:03or when hope
00:54:05is gone
00:54:06she could not
00:54:09immediately
00:54:10have uttered
00:54:11another sentence
00:54:12her heart
00:54:13was too full
00:54:14her breath
00:54:15too much
00:54:16oppressed
00:54:17Captain Wentworth
00:54:19having sealed
00:54:20his letter
00:54:21with great rapidity
00:54:22had a hurried
00:54:23agitated air
00:54:25which showed
00:54:25impatience to be
00:54:26gone
00:54:27Anne knew not
00:54:28how to understand
00:54:29it
00:54:30she had had
00:54:31the kindest
00:54:32good morning
00:54:33god bless you
00:54:34from Captain Harville
00:54:35but from him
00:54:36not a word
00:54:37not a look
00:54:38he had passed
00:54:39out of the room
00:54:40without a look
00:54:42she only had time
00:54:45however
00:54:45to move closer
00:54:46to the table
00:54:47where he had
00:54:47been writing
00:54:48when footsteps
00:54:49were heard returning
00:54:50the door opened
00:54:51it was himself
00:54:53instantly crossing
00:54:55the room
00:54:56to the writing table
00:54:57he drew out
00:54:58a letter
00:54:58from under
00:54:58the scattered paper
00:54:59placed it
00:55:00before Anne
00:55:01with eyes
00:55:02of glowing
00:55:02entreaty
00:55:03fixed on her
00:55:04for a time
00:55:04and hastily
00:55:05collecting his gloves
00:55:07was again
00:55:07out of the room
00:55:08the work
00:55:09of an instant
00:55:10the revolution
00:55:13which one
00:55:14instant
00:55:15had made
00:55:16in Anne
00:55:17was almost
00:55:18beyond expression
00:55:19the letter
00:55:21with a direction
00:55:23hardly legible
00:55:24to Miss A.E.
00:55:25was evidently
00:55:26the one
00:55:27which he had been
00:55:28folding so hastily
00:55:29while supposedly
00:55:31writing Harville's letter
00:55:32he had been also
00:55:33addressing her
00:55:34sinking into the chair
00:55:38which he had occupied
00:55:39her eyes devoured
00:55:41the following words
00:55:43I can listen
00:55:45no longer
00:55:45in silence
00:55:46I must speak
00:55:48to you
00:55:49by such means
00:55:50as are within
00:55:50my reach
00:55:51you pierce
00:55:53my soul
00:55:54I am half
00:55:55agony
00:55:56half hope
00:55:57tell me not
00:56:00that I am too late
00:56:01that such precious
00:56:03feelings
00:56:03are gone
00:56:04forever
00:56:04I offer myself
00:56:07to you again
00:56:08with a heart
00:56:09even more
00:56:10your own
00:56:10than when you
00:56:12almost broke it
00:56:13eight years
00:56:15and a half ago
00:56:16dare not say
00:56:19that man forgets
00:56:20sooner than woman
00:56:21that his love
00:56:22has an earlier death
00:56:24I have loved
00:56:25none but you
00:56:26you do believe
00:56:28that there is true
00:56:29attachment and constancy
00:56:31among men
00:56:31believe it
00:56:33to be most
00:56:34fervent
00:56:34most undeviating
00:56:36in CW
00:56:39such a letter
00:56:44was not
00:56:45to be soon
00:56:46recovered from
00:56:47half an hour's
00:56:50solitude and reflection
00:56:51might have
00:56:52tranquilized her
00:56:53but the ten minutes
00:56:55only
00:56:55which now passed
00:56:56before she was interrupted
00:56:57with all the restraints
00:56:59of her situation
00:57:00could do nothing
00:57:02towards tranquility
00:57:03every moment rather
00:57:06brought fresh agitation
00:57:07it was overpowering happiness
00:57:12and before she was beyond
00:57:15the first stage
00:57:16of full sensation
00:57:17Charles
00:57:19Mary
00:57:19and Henrietta
00:57:20all came in
00:57:21this was dreadful
00:57:23would they only
00:57:24have gone away
00:57:25and left her
00:57:26in the quiet possession
00:57:27of that room
00:57:28it would have been
00:57:28her cure
00:57:29but to have them
00:57:30all standing
00:57:31or waiting around her
00:57:32was distracting
00:57:33and in desperation
00:57:35she said she would
00:57:36go home
00:57:36Charles
00:57:38in his real concern
00:57:40and good nature
00:57:41would go home with her
00:57:42there was no preventing him
00:57:44they were on Union Street
00:57:48when a quicker step behind
00:57:50as something of familiar sound
00:57:52gave her two moments preparation
00:57:54for the sight of Captain Wentworth
00:57:56he joined them
00:57:58but as if irresolute
00:58:00whether to join
00:58:01or to pass on
00:58:02said nothing
00:58:03only looked
00:58:04he walked by her side
00:58:07presently struck
00:58:09by a sudden thought
00:58:11Charles said
00:58:12Captain Wentworth
00:58:14which way are you going
00:58:16I hardly know
00:58:19replied Captain Wentworth
00:58:20surprised
00:58:21are you going near Camden Place
00:58:24because if you are
00:58:25I shall have no scruple
00:58:26in asking you
00:58:27to take my place
00:58:28and give Anne your arm
00:58:30to her father's door
00:58:31there could not be
00:58:35an objection
00:58:36there could be only
00:58:38the most proper alacrity
00:58:40a most obliging compliance
00:58:42for public view
00:58:43and smiles
00:58:44reined in
00:58:45and spirits
00:58:47dancing
00:58:47in private rapture
00:58:49in half a minute
00:58:52Charles was at the bottom
00:58:53of Union Street again
00:58:54and the other two
00:58:56proceeding together
00:58:57and soon
00:58:58words enough
00:59:00had passed between them
00:59:01to decide their direction
00:59:03and prepare it
00:59:04for all the immortality
00:59:06which the happiest
00:59:07recollections
00:59:08of their own future lives
00:59:09could bestow
00:59:10they exchanged again
00:59:13those feelings
00:59:15and those promises
00:59:16which had once before
00:59:18seemed to secure everything
00:59:19but which had been followed
00:59:21by so many
00:59:22many years
00:59:24of division
00:59:25and estrangement
00:59:27they returned again
00:59:29into the past
00:59:31more exquisitely happy
00:59:33perhaps
00:59:34in their reunion
00:59:35than when it had first
00:59:36been projected
00:59:37more tender
00:59:39more tried
00:59:40more fixed
00:59:41in a knowledge
00:59:42of each other's character
00:59:43truth and attachment
00:59:45more equal to act
00:59:47more justified
00:59:49in acting
00:59:50at last
00:59:53Anne was at home again
00:59:55and happier
00:59:56than anyone
00:59:57in that house
00:59:58could have conceived
00:59:59who can be in doubt
01:00:02of what followed
01:00:03when any two young people
01:00:06take it into their heads
01:00:07to marry
01:00:07they are pretty sure
01:00:09by perseverance
01:00:10to carry their point
01:00:12be they ever so poor
01:00:14or ever so imprudent
01:00:16or ever so little likely
01:00:18to be necessary
01:00:19to each other's ultimate comfort
01:00:21Sir Walter
01:00:23made no objection
01:00:25Captain Wentworth
01:00:27with five and twenty thousand pounds
01:00:29and as high in his profession
01:00:31as merit and activity
01:00:33could place him
01:00:34was no longer
01:00:35nobody
01:00:37the only one among them
01:00:41whose opposition of feeling
01:00:42could excite
01:00:43any serious anxiety
01:00:45was Lady Russell
01:00:46Anne knew
01:00:49that Lady Russell
01:00:50must be suffering
01:00:51some pain
01:00:52in understanding
01:00:53and relinquishing
01:00:54Mr Elliot
01:00:54and be making
01:00:56some struggles
01:00:57to become truly
01:00:58acquainted with
01:00:59and do justice
01:01:01to Captain Wentworth
01:01:02this however
01:01:04was what Lady Russell
01:01:07had now to do
01:01:08she must learn
01:01:10to feel
01:01:10that she had been mistaken
01:01:12with regard to both
01:01:13that she'd been unfairly influenced
01:01:16by appearances
01:01:17in each
01:01:18there was nothing less
01:01:21for Lady Russell to do
01:01:22than to admit
01:01:23that she'd been
01:01:24pretty completely wrong
01:01:25and to take up
01:01:27a new set of opinions
01:01:28and of hopes
01:01:30for Anne
01:01:32was tenderness itself
01:01:35and she had the full worth of it
01:01:38in Captain Wentworth's affection
01:01:40for Anne
