1The undesirableness of any other house in the same neighbourhood for Sir Walter was certainly much strengthened by one
2part, and a very material part of the scheme, which had been happily engrafted on the beginning. He was not only to quit
3his home, but to see it in the hands of others; a trial of fortitude, which stronger heads than Sir Walter's have found
4too much. Kellynch Hall was to be let. This, however, was a profound secret, not to be breathed beyond their own circle.
5Sir Walter could not have borne the degradation of being known to design letting his house. Mr Shepherd had once
6mentioned the word "advertise," but never dared approach it again. Sir Walter spurned the idea of its being offered in
7any manner; forbad the slightest hint being dropped of his having such an intention; and it was only on the supposition
8of his being spontaneously solicited by some most unexceptionable applicant, on his own terms, and as a great favour,
9that he would let it at all. How quick come the reasons for approving what we like! Lady Russell had another excellent
10one at hand, for being extremely glad that Sir Walter and his family were to remove from the country. Elizabeth had been
11lately forming an intimacy, which she wished to see interrupted. It was with the daughter of Mr Shepherd, who had
12returned, after an unprosperous marriage, to her father's house, with the additional burden of two children. She was a
13clever young woman, who understood the art of pleasing--the art of pleasing, at least, at Kellynch Hall; and who had
14made herself so acceptable to Miss Elliot, as to have been already staying there more than once, in spite of all that
15Lady Russell, who thought it a friendship quite out of place, could hint of caution and reserve. Lady Russell, indeed,
16had scarcely any influence with Elizabeth, and seemed to love her, rather because she would love her, than because
17Elizabeth deserved it. She had never received from her more than outward attention, nothing beyond the observances of
18complaisance; had never succeeded in any point which she wanted to carry, against previous inclination. She had been
19repeatedly very earnest in trying to get Anne included in the visit to London, sensibly open to all the injustice and
20all the discredit of the selfish arrangements which shut her out, and on many lesser occasions had endeavoured to give
21Elizabeth the advantage of her own better judgement and experience; but always in vain: Elizabeth would go her own way;
22and never had she pursued it in more decided opposition to Lady Russell than in this selection of Mrs Clay; turning from
23the society of so deserving a sister, to bestow her affection and confidence on one who ought to have been nothing to
24her but the object of distant civility. From situation, Mrs Clay was, in Lady Russell's estimate, a very unequal, and in
25her character she believed a very dangerous companion; and a removal that would leave Mrs Clay behind, and bring a
26choice of more suitable intimates within Miss Elliot's reach, was therefore an object of first-rate importance.
