1Anne would have been particularly obliged to her cousin, if he would have walked by her side all the way to Camden
2Place, without saying a word. She had never found it so difficult to listen to him, though nothing could exceed his
3solicitude and care, and though his subjects were principally such as were wont to be always interesting: praise, warm,
4just, and discriminating, of Lady Russell, and insinuations highly rational against Mrs Clay. But just now she could
5think only of Captain Wentworth. She could not understand his present feelings, whether he were really suffering much
6from disappointment or not; and till that point were settled, she could not be quite herself. She hoped to be wise and
7reasonable in time; but alas! alas! she must confess to herself that she was not wise yet. Another circumstance very
8essential for her to know, was how long he meant to be in Bath; he had not mentioned it, or she could not recollect it.
9He might be only passing through. But it was more probable that he should be come to stay. In that case, so liable as
10every body was to meet every body in Bath, Lady Russell would in all likelihood see him somewhere. Would she recollect
11him? How would it all be? She had already been obliged to tell Lady Russell that Louisa Musgrove was to marry Captain
12Benwick. It had cost her something to encounter Lady Russell's surprise; and now, if she were by any chance to be thrown
13into company with Captain Wentworth, her imperfect knowledge of the matter might add another shade of prejudice against
14him. The following morning Anne was out with her friend, and for the first hour, in an incessant and fearful sort of
15watch for him in vain; but at last, in returning down Pulteney Street, she distinguished him on the right hand pavement
16at such a distance as to have him in view the greater part of the street. There were many other men about him, many
17groups walking the same way, but there was no mistaking him. She looked instinctively at Lady Russell; but not from any
18mad idea of her recognising him so soon as she did herself. No, it was not to be supposed that Lady Russell would
19perceive him till they were nearly opposite. She looked at her however, from time to time, anxiously; and when the
20moment approached which must point him out, though not daring to look again (for her own countenance she knew was unfit
21to be seen), she was yet perfectly conscious of Lady Russell's eyes being turned exactly in the direction for him--of
22her being, in short, intently observing him. She could thoroughly comprehend the sort of fascination he must possess
23over Lady Russell's mind, the difficulty it must be for her to withdraw her eyes, the astonishment she must be feeling
24that eight or nine years should have passed over him, and in foreign climes and in active service too, without robbing
25him of one personal grace! At last, Lady Russell drew back her head. "Now, how would she speak of him?" "You will
26wonder," said she, "what has been fixing my eye so long; but I was looking after some window-curtains, which Lady Alicia
27and Mrs Frankland were telling me of last night. They described the drawing-room window-curtains of one of the houses on
28this side of the way, and this part of the street, as being the handsomest and best hung of any in Bath, but could not
29recollect the exact number, and I have been trying to find out which it could be; but I confess I can see no curtains
30hereabouts that answer their description." Anne sighed and blushed and smiled, in pity and disdain, either at her friend
31or herself. The part which provoked her most, was that in all this waste of foresight and caution, she should have lost
32the right moment for seeing whether he saw them. A day or two passed without producing anything. The theatre or the
33rooms, where he was most likely to be, were not fashionable enough for the Elliots, whose evening amusements were solely
34in the elegant stupidity of private parties, in which they were getting more and more engaged; and Anne, wearied of such
35a state of stagnation, sick of knowing nothing, and fancying herself stronger because her strength was not tried, was
36quite impatient for the concert evening. It was a concert for the benefit of a person patronised by Lady Dalrymple. Of
37course they must attend. It was really expected to be a good one, and Captain Wentworth was very fond of music. If she
38could only have a few minutes conversation with him again, she fancied she should be satisfied; and as to the power of
39addressing him, she felt all over courage if the opportunity occurred. Elizabeth had turned from him, Lady Russell
40overlooked him; her nerves were strengthened by these circumstances; she felt that she owed him attention. She had once
41partly promised Mrs Smith to spend the evening with her; but in a short hurried call she excused herself and put it off,
42with the more decided promise of a longer visit on the morrow. Mrs Smith gave a most good-humoured acquiescence. "By all
43means," said she; "only tell me all about it, when you do come. Who is your party?" Anne named them all. Mrs Smith made
44no reply; but when she was leaving her said, and with an expression half serious, half arch, "Well, I heartily wish your
45concert may answer; and do not fail me to-morrow if you can come; for I begin to have a foreboding that I may not have
46many more visits from you." Anne was startled and confused; but after standing in a moment's suspense, was obliged, and
47not sorry to be obliged, to hurry away.
