1In re-settling themselves there were now many changes, the result of which was favourable for her. Colonel Wallis
2declined sitting down again, and Mr Elliot was invited by Elizabeth and Miss Carteret, in a manner not to be refused, to
3sit between them; and by some other removals, and a little scheming of her own, Anne was enabled to place herself much
4nearer the end of the bench than she had been before, much more within reach of a passer-by. She could not do so,
5without comparing herself with Miss Larolles, the inimitable Miss Larolles; but still she did it, and not with much
6happier effect; though by what seemed prosperity in the shape of an early abdication in her next neighbours, she found
7herself at the very end of the bench before the concert closed. Such was her situation, with a vacant space at hand,
8when Captain Wentworth was again in sight. She saw him not far off. He saw her too; yet he looked grave, and seemed
9irresolute, and only by very slow degrees came at last near enough to speak to her. She felt that something must be the
10matter. The change was indubitable. The difference between his present air and what it had been in the Octagon Room was
11strikingly great. Why was it? She thought of her father, of Lady Russell. Could there have been any unpleasant glances?
12He began by speaking of the concert gravely, more like the Captain Wentworth of Uppercross; owned himself disappointed,
13had expected singing; and in short, must confess that he should not be sorry when it was over. Anne replied, and spoke
14in defence of the performance so well, and yet in allowance for his feelings so pleasantly, that his countenance
15improved, and he replied again with almost a smile. They talked for a few minutes more; the improvement held; he even
16looked down towards the bench, as if he saw a place on it well worth occupying; when at that moment a touch on her
17shoulder obliged Anne to turn round. It came from Mr Elliot. He begged her pardon, but she must be applied to, to
18explain Italian again. Miss Carteret was very anxious to have a general idea of what was next to be sung. Anne could not
19refuse; but never had she sacrificed to politeness with a more suffering spirit. A few minutes, though as few as
20possible, were inevitably consumed; and when her own mistress again, when able to turn and look as she had done before,
21she found herself accosted by Captain Wentworth, in a reserved yet hurried sort of farewell. "He must wish her good
22night; he was going; he should get home as fast as he could." "Is not this song worth staying for?" said Anne, suddenly
23struck by an idea which made her yet more anxious to be encouraging. "No!" he replied impressively, "there is nothing
24worth my staying for;" and he was gone directly. Jealousy of Mr Elliot! It was the only intelligible motive. Captain
25Wentworth jealous of her affection! Could she have believed it a week ago; three hours ago! For a moment the
26gratification was exquisite. But, alas! there were very different thoughts to succeed. How was such jealousy to be
27quieted? How was the truth to reach him? How, in all the peculiar disadvantages of their respective situations, would he
28ever learn of her real sentiments? It was misery to think of Mr Elliot's attentions. Their evil was incalculable.
