so many of having it in one s power to pay off the debts of one s sex oh i am sure it is not in s nature to such a triumph shook her head i cannot think well of a man sports with any woman s feelings and there may often be a great deal more suffered than a by can judge ot i do not defend him i leave him entirely to your mercy and when be has got you at i do not how much you lecture him but this i will say that his fault the liking to make girls a little in love with him is half so dangerous to a wife s happiness as a tendency to m in love himself which he has never been ta and i do seriously and truly believe that he is attached to you in a way that he never was to any woman before that be loves you with all his heart and will lore you as nearly for ever as possible if any man ever loved a woman ever i think henry will do as much for you could not avoid a faint smile but had nothing to say i imagine henry ever to have been happier continued mary presently than when he had succeeded in getting your brother s commission she had made a sure push at s feelings hen oh yes how very very kind of him i i park i know he must have exerted himself very much for t know the parties he had to move the admiral hate and and there arc so many young men s claims to be attended to in the same way that a friendship and energy not very is easily put by what a happy creature william must be i wish we could see him poor s mind was thrown into the most distressing of all its varieties the recollection of what had been done for william was always the most powerful of decision against mr and she sat thinking deeply of it till mary who had been first watching her complacently and then musing on something else suddenly called attention by saying should like to at talking with you here all day but we must not forget the ladies below and so good by my dear my amiable ray excellent for though we shall part in the breakfast parlour i must take leave of you here and i do take leave longing for a happy re union and trusting that when we meet again it will be under circumstances which may open our hearts to each other without any remnant or shadow of reserve a very very kind embrace and some agitation of manner accompanied these words i shall see your cousin in town soon he talks of being there tolerably soon and sir thomas i dare say in the course of tjie s ring and your eldest cousin and the and i am sure of meeting again and again and all but you i have two to ask � one is your correspondence vou must write to me and the other that you will often call on mrs grant and make her amends for my being gone the first at least of these would rather not have been asked but it was impossible for her to the correspondence it was impossible for her even not to to it more readily than her own judgment there was no resisting so much apparent affection her disposition was peculiarly calculated to value a fond treatment and from having hitherto known so little of it she was the more overcome by miss s besides there w� i park her for having made their the d tht bo painful than her had predicted it was over and she had escaped without reproaches and detection her secret was still her own and hat was the case she thought she could herself to almost every thing in the evening there was another henry came and sat some time with them and her not being previously in the strongest state her was for a while towards him � because he seemed to feel quite unlike his usual he said any thing he was evidently oppressed and must grieve for him though hoping she might never see him again till he were the husband some other when it came to the moment of parting he would take ber hand he would not be denied it he said nothing however or that she heard and when he had left the room she was better pleased that such a token of friendship had passed on the morrow the were gone chapter vl ms gone sir thomas s next object was he should be missed and he entertained great hope his niece would find a blank in the loss of those attentions at the time she had felt or an evil she bad tasted of consequence in its most flattering form and he did hope that the toss of it the sinking again into nothing would awaken very wholesome regrets in her mind he watched her with this idea � but he could hardly tell with what success he hardly knew whether there were any difference in her spirits or she was always so gentle and retiring that her emotions were beyond his he did not her he that he did not and therefore applied to to tell him bow she stood affected on the present occasion and die were more or less happy than she had park did not discern any of r and thought his father a little unreasonable in g the first three or four days could produce any what chiefly surprised was that s sister the friend and companion who had been so much to her should not be more visibly regretted he wondered that spoke so seldom of and had so little voluntarily to say of her concern at separation alas
