such she must in honor by all her principles admire it � elegance which whether of person or of mind she saw so little in there not to be vulgar was distinction and merit in short she sat during the first visit looking at jane with complacency � the sense of pleasure and the sense of rendering justice � and was that she would dislike her no longer when she took in her history indeed her situation as well as her beauty when she considered what all this elegance was destined to what she was going to sink from how she was going to live � it seemed impossible to feel anything but compassion and respect especially if to every well known particular her to interest were added the highly probable circumstance of an attachment to mr which she had so naturally started to herself in that case nothing could be more pitiable or more honorable than the sacrifices she had resolved on was very willing now to her of having mr s affections from his wife or of anything mischievous which her imagination had suggested at first if it were love it might be simple single love on her side alone she might have been unconsciously in the sad poison while a of his conversation with her friend and from the best the purest of motives might now be denying herself this visit to ireland and to divide herself effectually from him and his connections by soon beginning her career of laborious duty upon the whole left her with such softened charitable feelings as made her look around in walking home and lament that afforded no young man worthy of giving her � nobody that she could wish to scheme about for her these were charming feelings but not lasting before she had committed herself by any public profession of eternal friendship for jane or done more towards a of past prejudices and errors than saying to mr she certainly is handsome she is better than handsome jane had spent an evening at with her grandmother and aunt and everything was much into its usual state former reappeared the aunt was as tiresome as ever � more tiresome because anxiety for her health was now added to admiration of her powers and they had to listen to the description of exactly how little bread and butter she ate for breakfast and how small a of mutton for dinner as well as to see of new caps and new for her mother and herself and jane s rose again they had music was obliged to play and the thanks and praise which necessarily followed appeared to her an affectation of an air of greatness meaning only to show off in higher style her very superior performance she was besides which was the worst of all so cold so cautious there was no getting at her real opinion up in a cloak of politeness she seemed determined to hazard nothing she was was suspiciously reserved if anything could be more where all was most she was more reserved on the subject of and the than anything she seemed bent on giving no real insight into mr s character or her own value for his company or opinion of the of the match it was all general approbation and nothing or distinguished it did her no service however her caution was thrown away saw its and returned to her first there probably was something more to conceal than her own preference mr perhaps had been very near changing one friend for the other or been fixed only to miss for the sake of the future twelve thousand pounds the like reserve prevailed on other topics she and mr frank had been at at the same time it was known that they were a little acquainted but not a syllable of real information could procure as to what he truly was was he handsome she believed he was reckoned a very fine young man was he agreeable he was generally thought so did he appear a sensible young man a young man of information at a watering place or in a common london acquaintance it was difficult to decide on such points manners were all that could be safely judged of under much longer knowledge than they had yet had of mr she believed everybody found his manners pleasing could not forgive her chapter xxi could not forgive her but as neither provocation nor resentment was discerned by mr who had been of the party and had seen only proper attention and pleasing behavior on each side he was expressing the next morning being at again on business with mr his approbation of the whole � not so openly as he might have done had her father been out of the room but speaking plain enough to be very intelligible to he had been used to think her unjust to jane and had now great pleasure in marking an improvement a very pleasant evening he began as soon as mr had been talked into what was necessary told that he understood and the papers swept away � particularly pleasant you and miss gave us some very good music i do not know a more luxurious state sir than sitting at one s ease to be entertained a whole evening by two such young women sometimes with music and sometimes with conversation i am sure miss must have found the evening pleasant you left nothing undone i was glad you made her play so much for having no instrument at her grandmother s it must have been a real indulgence i am happy you approved said smiling but i hope i am not often
