instructions extended sir never came to the d h woods without either in them to dine at the park the next day or do drink tea with them that evening on the present occasion for the better entertainment of their towards whose amusement he felt himself bound to contribute he wished to engage them for both you drink tea with us to night said he for we shall he quite alone and to morrow you must absolutely dine with u j for we be a large party mrs enforced the necessity and who knows but you m ay sa a dance said she � and that will tempt miss a dance cried impossible who is to dance who why yourselves and the and to be sure what i you thought nobody could dance because a certain person that shall be nameless is gone i i wish with all my soul cried sir john that were among us again this and s blushing gave new suspicions to edward and who is said he in a low to miss dash wood by whom he was sitting she gave him a brief reply countenance was more edward saw enough to comprehend not only the meaning of others j hut such of s expressions as had puzzled him before j and when their left he went immediately round her and said in a whisper have been shall tell you my guess what do you mean shall tell you certainly well then i guess that mr was surprised and confused yet she could not sense and help smiling at the quiet of his manner and after a moment s silence said � oh edward how can you � but the time will come i hope � i am sure you will like him i do not doubt it replied he rather astonished at her earnestness and warmth for had he not imagined it to be a joke for the good of her acquaintance in general founded on a something or a nothing between mr and herself he would not hare ventured to mention it chapter xix remained a week at the cottage he was earnestly pressed by mrs to stay longer but as if he were bent only on self mortification he seemed resolved to be gone when his enjoyment among his was at the height his spirits during the last two

even doubted to what place he should go when he left them � but still go he must never had any week passed so quickly � he could hardly believe it to be gone he said so repeatedly other things he said too which marked the turn of his feelings and gave the lie to his actions he had no pleasure at he detested being in town but either to or london he must go he valued their kindness beyond any thing and his greatest happiness was in being with them yet he must leave them at the end of a week in spite of their wishes and his own and without any restraint on his time placed all that was astonishing in this way of acting to his mother s account and it was happy for her that he had a mother whose character was so imperfectly known to her as to be the general excuse for every thing strange on the

and actions borne to your friends indeed might from it � you would not be able to give them so much of your time but with a smile you would be materially in one particular at least � you would know where to go when you left them i do assure you he that i have long thought on this point as you think now it has been and is will always be a heavy misfortune to me that i have bad no business to engage me no profession to give me employment or afford me any thing
