1While Captains Wentworth and Harville led the talk on one side of the room, and by recurring to former days, supplied
2anecdotes in abundance to occupy and entertain the others, it fell to Anne's lot to be placed rather apart with Captain
3Benwick; and a very good impulse of her nature obliged her to begin an acquaintance with him. He was shy, and disposed
4to abstraction; but the engaging mildness of her countenance, and gentleness of her manners, soon had their effect; and
5Anne was well repaid the first trouble of exertion. He was evidently a young man of considerable taste in reading,
6though principally in poetry; and besides the persuasion of having given him at least an evening's indulgence in the
7discussion of subjects, which his usual companions had probably no concern in, she had the hope of being of real use to
8him in some suggestions as to the duty and benefit of struggling against affliction, which had naturally grown out of
9their conversation. For, though shy, he did not seem reserved; it had rather the appearance of feelings glad to burst
10their usual restraints; and having talked of poetry, the richness of the present age, and gone through a brief
11comparison of opinion as to the first-rate poets, trying to ascertain whether Marmion or The Lady of the Lake were to be
12preferred, and how ranked the Giaour and The Bride of Abydos; and moreover, how the Giaour was to be pronounced, he
13showed himself so intimately acquainted with all the tenderest songs of the one poet, and all the impassioned
14descriptions of hopeless agony of the other; he repeated, with such tremulous feeling, the various lines which imaged a
15broken heart, or a mind destroyed by wretchedness, and looked so entirely as if he meant to be understood, that she
16ventured to hope he did not always read only poetry, and to say, that she thought it was the misfortune of poetry to be
17seldom safely enjoyed by those who enjoyed it completely; and that the strong feelings which alone could estimate it
18truly were the very feelings which ought to taste it but sparingly. His looks shewing him not pained, but pleased with
19this allusion to his situation, she was emboldened to go on; and feeling in herself the right of seniority of mind, she
20ventured to recommend a larger allowance of prose in his daily study; and on being requested to particularize, mentioned
21such works of our best moralists, such collections of the finest letters, such memoirs of characters of worth and
22suffering, as occurred to her at the moment as calculated to rouse and fortify the mind by the highest precepts, and the
23strongest examples of moral and religious endurances. Captain Benwick listened attentively, and seemed grateful for the
24interest implied; and though with a shake of the head, and sighs which declared his little faith in the efficacy of any
25books on grief like his, noted down the names of those she recommended, and promised to procure and read them. When the
26evening was over, Anne could not but be amused at the idea of her coming to Lyme to preach patience and resignation to a
27young man whom she had never seen before; nor could she help fearing, on more serious reflection, that, like many other
28great moralists and preachers, she had been eloquent on a point in which her own conduct would ill bear examination.
