Austen Said:

being still quite as handsome as ever,

her approach to the years of danger,

being properly solicited by baronet-blood within the next twelvemonth or two.

extremely agreeable,

only in him a proper match for Sir Walter Elliot's eldest daughter.

The disgrace of his first marriage might, perhaps, as there was no reason to suppose it perpetuated by offspring, have been got over, had he not done worse; but he had,

spoken most disrespectfully of them all, most slightingly and contemptuously of the very blood he belonged to, and the honours which were hereafter to be his own.

This could not be pardoned.

that when he now took up the Baronetage, it was to drive the heavy bills of his tradespeople, and the unwelcome hints of Mr Shepherd, his agent, from his thoughts.

what could be done,

to cut off some unnecessary charities, and to refrain from new furnishing the drawing-room;

their taking no present down to Anne,

as a most important and valuable assistant to the latter in all the business before her.

how such an absurd suspicion should occur to her,

she only came on foot, to leave more room for the harp, which was bringing in the carriage.

how perfectly delighted they were with him, how much handsomer, how infinitely more agreeable they thought him than any individual among their male acquaintance,

How glad they had been to hear papa invite him to stay dinner, how sorry when he said it was quite out of his power, and how glad again when he had promised in reply to papa and mamma's farther pressing invitations to come and dine with them on the morrow -- actually on the morrow; and he had promised it in so pleasant a manner, as if he felt all the motive of their attention just as he ought. And in short, he had looked and said everything with such exquisite grace, that they could assure them all, their heads were both turned by him;

of finding out the ships that Captain Wentworth had commanded.

Captain Wentworth very much in the way.

She had too old a regard for him to be so wholly estranged as might in two meetings extinguish every past hope, and leave him nothing to do but to keep away from Uppercross:

when such a man as Captain Wentworth was to be regarded as the probable cause. He had been absent only two Sundays, and when they parted, had left her interested, even to the height of his wishes, in his prospect of soon quitting his present curacy, and obtaining that of Uppercross instead. It had then seemed the object nearest her heart, that Dr Shirley, the rector,

should be quite fixed on engaging a curate; should make his curacy quite as good as he could afford, and should give Charles Hayter the promise of it. The advantage of his having to come only to Uppercross, instead of going six miles another way; of his having, in every respect, a better curacy; of his belonging to their dear Dr Shirley, and of dear, good Dr Shirley's being relieved from the duty which he could no longer get through without most injurious fatigue,

they were going to take a long walk,

Mary could not like to go with them;

the Elliot pride

she was convinced of sailors having more worth and warmth than any other set of men in England;

they only knew how to live, and they only deserved to be respected and loved.

The intervals of sense and consciousness were believed to be stronger.

Mr Elliot was in Bath. He had called in Camden Place; had called a second time, a third; had been pointedly attentive. If Elizabeth and her father did not deceive themselves, had been taking much pains to seek the acquaintance, and proclaim the value of the connection, as he had formerly taken pains to shew neglect.

it be a great extenuation.

Mrs Clay had a little cold already,

he had called and paid them a long morning visit;

he was coming again in the evening.

to lose no time, lest somebody else should come in.
