1"You will stay, I am sure; you will stay and nurse her;" cried he, turning to her and speaking with a glow, and yet a
2gentleness, which seemed almost restoring the past. She coloured deeply, and he recollected himself and moved away. She
3expressed herself most willing, ready, happy to remain. "It was what she had been thinking of, and wishing to be allowed
4to do. A bed on the floor in Louisa's room would be sufficient for her, if Mrs Harville would but think so." One thing
5more, and all seemed arranged. Though it was rather desirable that Mr and Mrs Musgrove should be previously alarmed by
6some share of delay; yet the time required by the Uppercross horses to take them back, would be a dreadful extension of
7suspense; and Captain Wentworth proposed, and Charles Musgrove agreed, that it would be much better for him to take a
8chaise from the inn, and leave Mr Musgrove's carriage and horses to be sent home the next morning early, when there
9would be the farther advantage of sending an account of Louisa's night. Captain Wentworth now hurried off to get
10everything ready on his part, and to be soon followed by the two ladies. When the plan was made known to Mary, however,
11there was an end of all peace in it. She was so wretched and so vehement, complained so much of injustice in being
12expected to go away instead of Anne; Anne, who was nothing to Louisa, while she was her sister, and had the best right
13to stay in Henrietta's stead! Why was not she to be as useful as Anne? And to go home without Charles, too, without her
14husband! No, it was too unkind. And in short, she said more than her husband could long withstand, and as none of the
15others could oppose when he gave way, there was no help for it; the change of Mary for Anne was inevitable. Anne had
16never submitted more reluctantly to the jealous and ill-judging claims of Mary; but so it must be, and they set off for
17the town, Charles taking care of his sister, and Captain Benwick attending to her. She gave a moment's recollection, as
18they hurried along, to the little circumstances which the same spots had witnessed earlier in the morning. There she had
19listened to Henrietta's schemes for Dr Shirley's leaving Uppercross; farther on, she had first seen Mr Elliot; a moment
20seemed all that could now be given to any one but Louisa, or those who were wrapped up in her welfare. Captain Benwick
21was most considerately attentive to her; and, united as they all seemed by the distress of the day, she felt an
22increasing degree of good-will towards him, and a pleasure even in thinking that it might, perhaps, be the occasion of
23continuing their acquaintance. Captain Wentworth was on the watch for them, and a chaise and four in waiting, stationed
24for their convenience in the lowest part of the street; but his evident surprise and vexation at the substitution of one
25sister for the other, the change in his countenance, the astonishment, the expressions begun and suppressed, with which
26Charles was listened to, made but a mortifying reception of Anne; or must at least convince her that she was valued only
27as she could be useful to Louisa. She endeavoured to be composed, and to be just. Without emulating the feelings of an
28Emma towards her Henry, she would have attended on Louisa with a zeal above the common claims of regard, for his sake;
29and she hoped he would not long be so unjust as to suppose she would shrink unnecessarily from the office of a friend.
30In the meanwhile she was in the carriage. He had handed them both in, and placed himself between them; and in this
31manner, under these circumstances, full of astonishment and emotion to Anne, she quitted Lyme. How the long stage would
32pass; how it was to affect their manners; what was to be their sort of intercourse, she could not foresee. It was all
33quite natural, however. He was devoted to Henrietta; always turning towards her; and when he spoke at all, always with
34the view of supporting her hopes and raising her spirits. In general, his voice and manner were studiously calm. To
35spare Henrietta from agitation seemed the governing principle. Once only, when she had been grieving over the last
36ill-judged, ill-fated walk to the Cobb, bitterly lamenting that it ever had been thought of, he burst forth, as if
37wholly overcome-- "Don't talk of it, don't talk of it," he cried. "Oh God! that I had not given way to her at the fatal
38moment! Had I done as I ought! But so eager and so resolute! Dear, sweet Louisa!" Anne wondered whether it ever occurred
39to him now, to question the justness of his own previous opinion as to the universal felicity and advantage of firmness
40of character; and whether it might not strike him that, like all other qualities of the mind, it should have its
41proportions and limits. She thought it could scarcely escape him to feel that a persuadable temper might sometimes be as
42much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character. They got on fast. Anne was astonished to recognise the same
43hills and the same objects so soon. Their actual speed, heightened by some dread of the conclusion, made the road appear
44but half as long as on the day before. It was growing quite dusk, however, before they were in the neighbourhood of
45Uppercross, and there had been total silence among them for some time, Henrietta leaning back in the corner, with a
46shawl over her face, giving the hope of her having cried herself to sleep; when, as they were going up their last hill,
47Anne found herself all at once addressed by Captain Wentworth. In a low, cautious voice, he said:-- "I have been
48considering what we had best do. She must not appear at first. She could not stand it. I have been thinking whether you
49had not better remain in the carriage with her, while I go in and break it to Mr and Mrs Musgrove. Do you think this is
50a good plan?" She did: he was satisfied, and said no more. But the remembrance of the appeal remained a pleasure to her,
51as a proof of friendship, and of deference for her judgement, a great pleasure; and when it became a sort of parting
52proof, its value did not lessen. When the distressing communication at Uppercross was over, and he had seen the father
53and mother quite as composed as could be hoped, and the daughter all the better for being with them, he announced his
54intention of returning in the same carriage to Lyme; and when the horses were baited, he was off. (End of volume one.)
