Austen Said:

their sudden return home, which, as their own carriage had not fetched them, she should have known nothing about, if she had not happened to see Mr. Jones's shop-boy in the street, who had told her that

Mr. Denny had brought him from London,

he was to have a lieutenant's commission in the ——shire.

She had been watching him the last hour,

as he walked up and down the street,

to make her husband call on Mr. Wickham, and give him an invitation also, if the family from Longbourn would come in the evening.

they would have a nice comfortable noisy game of lottery tickets, and a little bit of hot supper afterwards.

Mr. Wickham had accepted their uncle's invitation, and was then in the house.

her husband would have quite walking enough by the time he reached home,

Lord Byron's "dark blue seas"

Captain Benwick had been seen flying by their house, with a countenance which showed something to be wrong; and they had set off immediately, informed and directed as they passed, towards the spot.

She must be taken to their house; all must go to their house; and await the surgeon's arrival there.

The head had received a severe contusion, but he had seen greater injuries recovered from: he was by no means hopeless;

Captain Benwick must give up his room to them, and get another bed elsewhere; and the whole was settled. They were only concerned that the house could accommodate no more;

they could hardly bear to think of not finding room for two or three besides, supposing they might wish to stay; though, with regard to any attendance on Miss Musgrove, there need not be the least uneasiness in leaving her to Mrs Harville's care entirely. Mrs Harville was a very experienced nurse, and her nursery-maid, who had lived with her long, and gone about with her everywhere, was just such another. Between these two, she could want no possible attendance by day or night.

'he never shot'

he wants to talk to you about them; he has found out something or other in one of them which he thinks

'Elegance, sweetness, beauty.'

He had never had an idea of throwing himself off; he had feared that he was thrown off, but knew not why, and delicacy had kept him silent.

He, who had ever boasted of being an Elliot, and whose feelings, as to connection, were only too strict to suit the unfeudal tone of the present day. He was astonished, indeed, but his character and general conduct must refute it. He could refer Sir Walter to all who knew him;

his apologies for calling at so unusual an hour,

He had spent his whole solitary evening in the room adjoining theirs; had heard voices, mirth continually; thought they must be a most delightful set of people, longed to be with them, but certainly without the smallest suspicion of his possessing the shadow of a right to introduce himself. If he had but asked who the party were! The name of Musgrove would have told him enough.

But he must not be addressing his reflections to Anne alone:

he was soon diffused again among the others, and it was only at intervals that he could return to Lyme.

Having alluded to

He begged her pardon, but she must be applied to, to explain Italian again. Miss Carteret was very anxious to have a general idea of what was next to be sung.
