divided them oh heavens my beloved have i got you at last was her address on s entering the box and sitting by her now mr for he was close to her on the other side i shall not speak another word to you all the rest of the evening so i charge you not to expect it my sweetest how have you been this long age but i need not ask you for you look delightfully you really have done your hair in a more heavenly style than ever you mischievous creature da you want to attract everybody i assure you my brother is quite in love with you already and as for mr � but that is a settled thing � even your abbey modesty cannot doubt his attachment now his coming back to bath makes it too plain oh what would not i give to see him i really am quite wild with impatience my mother says he is the most young man in the world she saw him this morning you know you must introduce him to me lu he in the house now look about for heaven s sake i assure you i can hardly exist till i see him no said he is not here i cannot see him any where oh horrid i am i never to be acquainted with him how do you like my gown i think it does not look amiss the sleeves were entirely my own thought do you know get so sick of bath your brother and i were agreeing this morning that though it is vastly well to be here for a few weeks we would not live here for millions we soon found out that our tastes were exactly alike in preferring the country to every other place really our opinions were so exactly the same it was quite ridiculous there was not a single point in which we differed i would not have had you by for the world you are such a sly thing i am sure you would have made some droll remark or other about it no indeed should not oh yes you would indeed i know you better than you know self you would have told us that we seemed bom for each other or some nonsense of that kind which would have distressed me beyond conception my cheeks would have been as red as your roses i would not have had you by for the world indeed you do me injustice i would not have made so improper a remark upon any account and i am sure it would never have entered my head smiled and talked the rest of the evening to james abbey s resolution of endeavouring to meet miss again continued in full force the next morning and till the usual moment of going to the room she felt some alarm from the dread of a second but nothing of that kind occurred no visitors appeared to delay them and they all three set off in good time for the pump room where the ordinary course of events and conversation took place mr after drinking his glass of water joined some gentlemen to talk over the politics of the day and compare the accounts of their newspapers and the ladies walked about together noticing every new face and almost every new bonnet in the room the female part of the family attended by james appeared among the crowd in less than a quarter of an hour and immediately took her usual place by the side of her friend james who was now in constant attendance maintained a similar position and separating themselves from the rest of their party they walked in that manner for some time till began to doubt the happiness of a situation which her entirely to her friend and brother gave her very little share in the notice of either they were always engaged in some sentimental discussion or lively dispute but their sentiment was conveyed in such whispering voices and their vivacity attended with so much laughter that though s supporting opinion was not called for by one or the other she was never able to give any from not having heard a word of the subject at length however she was to herself from her friend by the necessity of speaking to miss whom she most saw just entering the room with mrs and whom she instantly joined with a firmer determination to be acquainted than she might have had courage to command had she not been urged by the disappointment abbey of the day before miss met her with great civility returned her advances with equal good will and they continued talking together as long as both parties remained in the room and though in all probability not an observation was made nor an expression used by either which had not been made and used some thousands of times before under that roof in every bath season yet the merit of their being spoken with simplicity and truth and without personal conceit might be something uncommon how well your brother dances was an exclamation of s towards the close of their conversation which at once and amused her companion henry she replied with a smile yes he does dance very well he must have thought it very odd to hear me say i was engaged the other evening when he saw me sitting down but i really had been engaged the whole day to mr miss could only bow you cannot think added after a moment s silence how i was to see him again i felt sure of his being quite gone away � when henry had the pleasure of seeing you before he was in bath but for a couple of days he came only to engage lodgings for us that never occurred to me and of course not seeing him anywhere i thought he must be gone was
