all thursday friday and saturday and did not know what was become with him once thought to write to him but then her spirit rose against that however this morning he came just as we came home from church and then it au came out how he had been sent for wednesday to street and been talked to by his mother and all of them and how he had declared before them all that he loved nobody but and nobody but would he have and how he had been so worried by what passed that as soon as he sense and sensibility had went away from his mother s house he had got upon his horse and rid into the country somewhere or other and how he had stayed at an inn all thursday and friday on purpose to get the of it and after thinking it all over and oyer again he said it seemed to him as if now he had no fortune and no nothing at all it would he quite unkind to keep her on to the engagement it must he for her loss for he bad nothing hut two thousand pounds and no hope of anything else and if he was to go into orders as he had some thoughts he could g t nothing hut a and how was they to live upon that he could not bear to think of her doing no better and so he begged if she had the least mind for it to put an end to the matter directly and leave him to shift for himself i heard him say all this as plain as could possibly be and it was entirely for her sake and upon her account that he said a word about being off and not upon his own i will take my oath he never dropped a syllable of being tired of her or of wishing to marry miss or anything like it but to be sure would not give ear to such kind of talking so she told him directly with a great deal about sweet and love you know and all that � oh la i one can t repeat such kind of things you know � she told him directly she had not the least mind in the world to be off for she could live sense and with him upon a trifle and how little he might have she should he very glad to have it all you know or something of the kind so then he was monstrous happy and talked on some time about what they should do and they agreed he should take orders directly and they must wait to he married till he got a living and just then i could not hear any more for my cousin called m below to tell me mrs was come in her coach and would take one of us to gardens so i was forced to go into the room and interrupt them to ask if she would like to go but she did not care to leave edward so i just run upstairs and put on a pair of silk stockings and came off with the i do not understand what you mean by interrupting them said you were all in the same room together were not you ko indeed not us la miss dash wood do you think people make love when anybody else is by oh for shame to be sure you must know better than that laughing no no they were shut up in the drawing room together and all i heard was only by listening at the door how cried have you been repeating to me what you only learned yourself by listening at the door i am sorry i did not know it before for i certainly would not have suffered you sense and to give me particulars of a conversation yoa ought not to have known yourself how could you behave so by your sister h la there is nothing in that i only stood at the door and heard what i could and i am sure would have done just the same by me for a year or two back when and i had so many secrets together she never made any bones of hiding in a closet or behind a chimney board on purpose to he what we said tried to talk of something else but miss could not be kept beyond a couple of minutes from what was uppermost in her mind edward talks of going to oxford soon said she but now he is lodging at no � pall what an ill natured woman his mother is a n t she and your brother and sister were not very kind however i sha n t say anything against them to you and to be sure they did send us home in their own chariot which was more than i looked for and for my part i was all in a fright for fear your sister should ask us for the she had gave us a day or two before but however nothing was said about them and i took care to keep mine out of sight edward have got some business at oxford he says so he must go there for a time and after as soon as he can light upon a bishop he will be ordained i wonder what he will get i good gracious vol ii � sense and as she spoke i d lay my life i know what my cousins will say when they hear of it they will tell me i should write to the doctor to get edward the of his new living i know they will but i am sure i would not do such a thing for all the world la i shall say directly i wonder how you could think of such a thing write to the doctor
