Sir Walter, indeed, though he had no affe for Anne, and no vanity flattered, to make him really happy on the occasion, was very far from thinking it a bad matbsp;for her. On the trary, when he saw more of Captain Wentworth, saw him repeatedly by daylight, and eyed him well, he was very mubsp;strubsp;by his personal claims, and felt that his superiority of appearanbsp;might be not unfairly balanbsp;against her superiority of rank; and all this, assisted by his well-sounding name, enabled Sir Walter at last to prepare his pen, with a very good grace, for the inrtion of the marriage in the volume of honour.
The only one among them, who opposition of feeling could excite any rious ay was Lady Rusll. Anne knew that Lady Rusll must be suffering some pain in uanding and relinquishing Mr Elliot, and be making some struggles to bee truly acquainted with, and do justice to Captaiworth.
This however was what Lady Rusll had now to do. She must learn to feel that she had been mistaken with regard to both; that she had been unfairly influenbsp;by appearanbsp;in eabsp;that bebsp;Captain Wentworth''s manners had not suited her own ideas, she had been too quibsp;in suspeg them to indicate a character of dangerous impetuosity; and that bebsp;Mr Elliot''s manners had precily plead her in their propriety and correess, their general politeness and suavity, she had been too quibsp;in receiving them as the certain result of the most correbsp;opinions and well-regulated mind. There was nothing less for Lady Rusll to do, than to admit that she had beey pletely wrong, and to take up a of opinions and of hopes.
