1This long meadow bordered a lane, which their footpath, at the end of it was to cross, and when the party had all
2reached the gate of exit, the carriage advancing in the same direction, which had been some time heard, was just coming
3up, and proved to be Admiral Croft's gig. He and his wife had taken their intended drive, and were returning home. Upon
4hearing how long a walk the young people had engaged in, they kindly offered a seat to any lady who might be
5particularly tired; it would save her a full mile, and they were going through Uppercross. The invitation was general,
6and generally declined. The Miss Musgroves were not at all tired, and Mary was either offended, by not being asked
7before any of the others, or what Louisa called the Elliot pride could not endure to make a third in a one horse chaise.
8The walking party had crossed the lane, and were surmounting an opposite stile, and the Admiral was putting his horse in
9motion again, when Captain Wentworth cleared the hedge in a moment to say something to his sister. The something might
10be guessed by its effects. "Miss Elliot, I am sure you are tired," cried Mrs Croft. "Do let us have the pleasure of
11taking you home. Here is excellent room for three, I assure you. If we were all like you, I believe we might sit four.
12You must, indeed, you must." Anne was still in the lane; and though instinctively beginning to decline, she was not
13allowed to proceed. The Admiral's kind urgency came in support of his wife's; they would not be refused; they compressed
14themselves into the smallest possible space to leave her a corner, and Captain Wentworth, without saying a word, turned
15to her, and quietly obliged her to be assisted into the carriage. Yes; he had done it. She was in the carriage, and felt
16that he had placed her there, that his will and his hands had done it, that she owed it to his perception of her
17fatigue, and his resolution to give her rest. She was very much affected by the view of his disposition towards her,
18which all these things made apparent. This little circumstance seemed the completion of all that had gone before. She
19understood him. He could not forgive her, but he could not be unfeeling. Though condemning her for the past, and
20considering it with high and unjust resentment, though perfectly careless of her, and though becoming attached to
21another, still he could not see her suffer, without the desire of giving her relief. It was a remainder of former
22sentiment; it was an impulse of pure, though unacknowledged friendship; it was a proof of his own warm and amiable
23heart, which she could not contemplate without emotions so compounded of pleasure and pain, that she knew not which
24prevailed. Her answers to the kindness and the remarks of her companions were at first unconsciously given. They had
25travelled half their way along the rough lane, before she was quite awake to what they said. She then found them talking
26of "Frederick." "He certainly means to have one or other of those two girls, Sophy," said the Admiral; "but there is no
27saying which. He has been running after them, too, long enough, one would think, to make up his mind. Ay, this comes of
28the peace. If it were war now, he would have settled it long ago. We sailors, Miss Elliot, cannot afford to make long
29courtships in time of war. How many days was it, my dear, between the first time of my seeing you and our sitting down
30together in our lodgings at North Yarmouth?" "We had better not talk about it, my dear," replied Mrs Croft, pleasantly;
31"for if Miss Elliot were to hear how soon we came to an understanding, she would never be persuaded that we could be
32happy together. I had known you by character, however, long before." "Well, and I had heard of you as a very pretty
33girl, and what were we to wait for besides? I do not like having such things so long in hand. I wish Frederick would
34spread a little more canvass, and bring us home one of these young ladies to Kellynch. Then there would always be
35company for them. And very nice young ladies they both are; I hardly know one from the other." "Very good humoured,
36unaffected girls, indeed," said Mrs Croft, in a tone of calmer praise, such as made Anne suspect that her keener powers
37might not consider either of them as quite worthy of her brother; "and a very respectable family. One could not be
38connected with better people. My dear Admiral, that post! we shall certainly take that post." But by coolly giving the
39reins a better direction herself they happily passed the danger; and by once afterwards judiciously putting out her hand
40they neither fell into a rut, nor ran foul of a dung-cart; and Anne, with some amusement at their style of driving,
41which she imagined no bad representation of the general guidance of their affairs, found herself safely deposited by
42them at the Cottage.
