While Admiral Croft was taking this walk with Anne, and expressing his wish of getting Captain Wentworth to Bath, Captain Wentworth was already on his way thither1. Before Mrs Croft had written, he was arrived, and the very next time Anne walked out, she saw him.
Mr Elliot was attending his two cousins and Mrs Clay. They were in Milsom Street. It began to rain, not much, but enough to make shelter desirable for women, and quite enough to make it very desirable for Miss Elliot to have the advantage of being conveyed home in Lady Dalrymple's carriage, which was seen waiting at a little distance; she, Anne, and Mrs Clay, therefore, turned into Molland's, while Mr Elliot stepped to Lady Dalrymple, to request her assistance. He soon joined them again, successful, of course; Lady Dalrymple would be most happy to take them home, and would call for them in a few minutes.
Her ladyship's carriage was a barouche, and did not hold more than four with any comfort. Miss Carteret was with her mother; consequently it was not reasonable to expect accommodation for all the three Camden Place ladies. There could be no doubt as to Miss Elliot. Whoever suffered inconvenience, she must suffer none, but it occupied a little time to settle the point of civility between the other two. The rain was a mere2 trifle, and Anne was most sincere in preferring a walk with Mr Elliot. But the rain was also a mere trifle to Mrs Clay; she would hardly allow it even to drop at all, and her boots were so thick! much thicker than Miss Anne's; and, in short, her civility rendered her quite as anxious to be left to walk with Mr Elliot as Anne could be, and it was discussed between them with a generosity3 so polite and so determined4, that the others were obliged to settle it for them; Miss Elliot maintaining that Mrs Clay had a little cold already, and Mr Elliot deciding on appeal, that his cousin Anne's boots were rather the thickest.
It was fixed5 accordingly, that Mrs Clay should be of the party in the carriage; and they had just reached this point, when Anne, as she sat near the window, descried6, most decidedly and distinctly, Captain Wentworth walking down the street.
Her start was perceptible only to herself; but she instantly felt that she was the greatest simpleton in the world, the most unaccountable and absurd! For a few minutes she saw nothing before her; it was all confusion. She was lost, and when she had scolded back her senses, she found the others still waiting for the carriage, and Mr Elliot (always obliging) just setting off for Union Street on a commission of Mrs Clay's.
She now felt a great inclination8 to go to the outer door; she wanted to see if it rained. Why was she to suspect herself of another motive9? Captain Wentworth must be out of sight. She left her seat, she would go; one half of her should not be always so much wiser than the other half, or always suspecting the other of being worse than it was. She would see if it rained. She was sent back, however, in a moment by the entrance of Captain Wentworth himself, among a party of gentlemen and ladies, evidently his acquaintance, and whom he must have joined a little below Milsom Street. He was more obviously struck and confused by the sight of her than she had ever observed before; he looked quite red. For the first time, since their renewed acquaintance, she felt that she was betraying the least sensibility of the two. She had the advantage of him in the preparation of the last few moments. All the overpowering, blinding, bewildering, first effects of strong surprise were over with her. Still, however, she had enough to feel! It was agitation10, pain, pleasure, a something between delight and misery11.
He spoke12 to her, and then turned away. The character of his manner was embarrassment13. She could not have called it either cold or friendly, or anything so certainly as embarrassed.
After a short interval14, however, he came towards her, and spoke again. Mutual15 enquiries on common subjects passed: neither of them, probably, much the wiser for what they heard, and Anne continuing fully16 sensible of his being less at ease than formerly17. They had by dint18 of being so very much together, got to speak to each other with a considerable portion of apparent indifference19 and calmness; but he could not do it now. Time had changed him, or Louisa had changed him. There was consciousness of some sort or other. He looked very well, not as if he had been suffering in health or spirits, and he talked of Uppercross, of the Musgroves, nay20, even of Louisa, and had even a momentary21 look of his own arch significance as he named her; but yet it was Captain Wentworth not comfortable, not easy, not able to feign22 that he was.
It did not surprise, but it grieved Anne to observe that Elizabeth would not know him. She saw that he saw Elizabeth, that Elizabeth saw him, that there was complete internal recognition on each side; she was convinced that he was ready to be acknowledged as an acquaintance, expecting it, and she had the pain of seeing her sister turn away with unalterable coldness.
Lady Dalrymple's carriage, for which Miss Elliot was growing very impatient, now drew up; the servant came in to announce it. It was beginning to rain again, and altogether there was a delay, and a bustle23, and a talking, which must make all the little crowd in the shop understand that Lady Dalrymple was calling to convey Miss Elliot. At last Miss Elliot and her friend, unattended but by the servant, (for there was no cousin returned), were walking off; and Captain Wentworth, watching them, turned again to Anne, and by manner, rather than words, was offering his services to her.
"I am much obliged to you, " was her answer, "but I am not going with them. The carriage would not accommodate so many. I walk: I prefer walking. "
"But it rains. "
"Oh! very little, Nothing that I regard. "
After a moment's pause he said: "Though I came only yesterday, I have equipped myself properly for Bath already, you see, " (pointing to a new umbrella); "I wish you would make use of it, if you are determined to walk; though I think it would be more prudent24 to let me get you a chair. "
She was very much obliged to him, but declined it all, repeating her conviction, that the rain would come to nothing at present, and adding, "I am only waiting for Mr Elliot. He will be here in a moment, I am sure. "
She had hardly spoken the words when Mr Elliot walked in. Captain Wentworth recollected25 him perfectly27. There was no difference between him and the man who had stood on the steps at Lyme, admiring Anne as she passed, except in the air and look and manner of the privileged relation and friend. He came in with eagerness, appeared to see and think only of her, apologised for his stay, was grieved to have kept her waiting, and anxious to get her away without further loss of time and before the rain increased; and in another moment they walked off together, her arm under his, a gentle and embarrassed glance, and a "Good morning to you!" being all that she had time for, as she passed away.
As soon as they were out of sight, the ladies of Captain Wentworth's party began talking of them.
"Mr Elliot does not dislike his cousin, I fancy?"
"Oh! no, that is clear enough. One can guess what will happen there. He is always with them; half lives in the family, I believe. What a very good-looking man!"
"Yes, and Miss Atkinson, who dined with him once at the Wallises, says he is the most agreeable man she ever was in company with. "
"She is pretty, I think; Anne Elliot; very pretty, when one comes to look at her. It is not the fashion to say so, but I confess I admire her more than her sister. "
"Oh! so do I. "
"And so do I. No comparison. But the men are all wild after Miss Elliot. Anne is too delicate for them. "
Anne would have been particularly obliged to her cousin, if he would have walked by her side all the way to Camden Place, without saying a word. She had never found it so difficult to listen to him, though nothing could exceed his solicitude28 and care, and though his subjects were principally such as were wont29 to be always interesting: praise, warm, just, and discriminating30, of Lady Russell, and insinuations highly rational against Mrs Clay. But just now she could think only of Captain Wentworth. She could not understand his present feelings, whether he were really suffering much from disappointment or not; and till that point were settled, she could not be quite herself.
She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas31! alas! she must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.
Another circumstance very essential for her to know, was how long he meant to be in Bath; he had not mentioned it, or she could not recollect26 it. He might be only passing through. But it was more probable that he should be come to stay. In that case, so liable as every body was to meet every body in Bath, Lady Russell would in all likelihood see him somewhere. Would she recollect him? How would it all be?
She had already been obliged to tell Lady Russell that Louisa Musgrove was to marry Captain Benwick. It had cost her something to encounter Lady Russell's surprise; and now, if she were by any chance to be thrown into company with Captain Wentworth, her imperfect knowledge of the matter might add another shade of prejudice against him.
The following morning Anne was out with her friend, and for the first hour, in an incessant32 and fearful sort of watch for him in vain; but at last, in returning down Pulteney Street, she distinguished33 him on the right hand pavement at such a distance as to have him in view the greater part of the street. There were many other men about him, many groups walking the same way, but there was no mistaking him. She looked instinctively34 at Lady Russell; but not from any mad idea of her recognising him so soon as she did herself. No, it was not to be supposed that Lady Russell would perceive him till they were nearly opposite. She looked at her however, from time to time, anxiously; and when the moment approached which must point him out, though not daring to look again (for her own countenance35 she knew was unfit to be seen), she was yet perfectly conscious of Lady Russell's eyes being turned exactly in the direction for him-- of her being, in short, intently observing him. She could thoroughly36 comprehend the sort of fascination37 he must possess over Lady Russell's mind, the difficulty it must be for her to withdraw her eyes, the astonishment38 she must be feeling that eight or nine years should have passed over him, and in foreign climes and in active service too, without robbing him of one personal grace!
At last, Lady Russell drew back her head. "Now, how would she speak of him?"
"You will wonder, " said she, "what has been fixing my eye so long; but I was looking after some window-curtains, which Lady Alicia and Mrs Frankland were telling me of last night. They described the drawing-room window-curtains of one of the houses on this side of the way, and this part of the street, as being the handsomest and best hung of any in Bath, but could not recollect the exact number, and I have been trying to find out which it could be; but I confess I can see no curtains hereabouts that answer their description. "
Anne sighed and blushed and smiled, in pity and disdain39, either at her friend or herself. The part which provoked her most, was that in all this waste of foresight40 and caution, she should have lost the right moment for seeing whether he saw them.
A day or two passed without producing anything. The theatre or the rooms, where he was most likely to be, were not fashionable enough for the Elliots, whose evening amusements were solely41 in the elegant stupidity of private parties, in which they were getting more and more engaged; and Anne, wearied of such a state of stagnation42, sick of knowing nothing, and fancying herself stronger because her strength was not tried, was quite impatient for the concert evening. It was a concert for the benefit of a person patronised by Lady Dalrymple. Of course they must attend. It was really expected to be a good one, and Captain Wentworth was very fond of music. If she could only have a few minutes conversation with him again, she fancied she should be satisfied; and as to the power of addressing him, she felt all over courage if the opportunity occurred. Elizabeth had turned from him, Lady Russell overlooked him; her nerves were strengthened by these circumstances; she felt that she owed him attention.
She had once partly promised Mrs Smith to spend the evening with her; but in a short hurried call she excused herself and put it off, with the more decided7 promise of a longer visit on the morrow. Mrs Smith gave a most good-humoured acquiescence43.
"By all means, " said she; "only tell me all about it, when you do come. Who is your party?"
Anne named them all. Mrs Smith made no reply; but when she was leaving her said, and with an expression half serious, half arch, "Well, I heartily44 wish your concert may answer; and do not fail me to-morrow if you can come; for I begin to have a foreboding that I may not have many more visits from you. "
Anne was startled and confused; but after standing45 in a moment's suspense46, was obliged, and not sorry to be obliged, to hurry away.
就在克罗夫特将军和安妮一边走着，一边表示希望把温特沃思上校叫到巴思时，温特沃思上校已经走在来巴思的路上。克罗夫特夫人还没写信，他就到达了。安妮下一次出门时，便见到了他。
埃利奥特先生陪着两个堂妹和克莱夫人，来到米尔萨姆街。不想天下起雨来，雨不大，但是夫人小姐们希望能找个避雨处，特别是埃利奥特小姐，她希望达尔林普尔夫人的马车能把她们送回家，因为她见到那辆马车就停在不远的地方。于是，埃利奥特小姐、安妮和克莱夫人便躲进莫兰糖果店，埃利奥特先生走到达尔林普尔，夫人跟前，劳驾她帮帮忙。他当然获得了成功，很快回到了夫人小姐这里。达尔林普尔夫人十分乐意送她们回家，过几分钟会来招呼她们的。
子爵夫人用的是辆四轮马车，只能坐四个人，再多就挤不下了。卡特雷特小姐陪着她母亲，因此不能期望让卡姆登巷的三位女士都上车。埃利奥特小姐无疑是要坐上去的，无论让谁承受不便，也不能让她有所不便。但是解决另外两个人的谦让问题却费了一番工夫。安妮不在乎这点雨，极其诚恳地希望同埃利奥特先生走回去。可是克莱夫人也不在乎这点雨，她简直认为雨不在下，何况她的靴子又那么厚J比安妮小姐的还厚。总而言之，她客客气气的，就像安妮一样迫切希望同埃利奥特先生走回去。两人宽宏大量地谦让来谦让去，实在争执不下，不得已只好由别人代为裁夺。埃利奥特小姐坚持认为克莱夫人已经有点感冒，埃利奥特先生受到恳求，还是断定他堂妹安妮的皮靴更厚些。
因此，大伙决定让克莱夫人坐到马车上。这个决定刚刚作出，坐在窗口附近的安妮清清楚楚地看见温特沃思上校顺着大街走来。
她的惊讶只有她自己觉察得到，但是她当即感到她是世界上最大的笨蛋，真是荒唐至极，不可思议！一时之间，她什么也看不见了，眼前一片模糊。她茫然不知所措，只怪自己不冷静，等她好不容易恢复了神志，却发现别人还在等车。一向殷勤讨好的埃利奥特先生马上朝联盟街走去，替克莱夫人办点什么事情。
安妮很想走到外门那儿，看看天在不在下雨。她为什么要怀疑自己别有用心呢？温特沃思上校一定走没影了。她离开座位想走。她不应该怀疑自己心里有什么不理智的念头，也不应该怀疑自己头脑深处有什么见不得人的东西。她要看看天在不在下雨。可是转眼间她又转回来了，只见温特沃思上校和一帮先生女士走了进来。明摆着，这些人都是他的朋友，他准是在米尔萨姆街下面一点碰见他们的。一见到安妮，他显得十分震惊，安妮从未看见他这么慌张过，满脸涨得通红。自打他们重新结交以来，安妮第一次感到自己没有他来得激动。她比他有个有利条件，在最后一刹那做好了思想准备，惊愕之际，那种震慑、眩晕、手足无措的最初感觉已经消失。可是，她心里仍然很激动。这是激动、痛苦加高兴，真有点悲喜交集。
温特沃思上校对她说了两句话，然后便走开了。他的样子十分尴尬。安妮既不能说他冷漠，也不能说他友好，也不能一口咬定他很窘迫。
过了一会，他又走过来同她说话。两人相互询问了一些共同关心的问题，可是八成谁都没有听进去，安妮仍旧觉得他不像以前那样从容不迫。以往，他们由于经常在一起，说起话来显得十分自然、随便。但是他现在却做不到了。时光使他发生了变化，或者是路易莎使他发生了变化。他总是有点局促不安。他看样子倒挺好，仿佛身体和精神都不感到痛苦。他谈起了厄泼克劳斯，谈起了默斯格罗夫一家人，甚至谈起了路易莎，而且在提到她的名字时，脸上甚至掠过一副既俏皮又神气的表情。然而，温特沃思上校毕竟是忐忑不安的，无法装出泰然自若的样子。
安妮发现伊丽莎白不肯认他，对此她并不感到奇怪，但却感到伤心。她知道温特沃思上校看见了伊丽莎白，伊丽莎白也看见了他，而且彼此心里都明白对方是谁。她相信，温特沃思上校很愿意被认作朋友，正在满心期待着，不想安妮痛心地见到姐姐把脸一转，依然一副冷冰冰的样子。
埃利奥特小姐正等得不耐烦的时候，达尔林普尔夫人的马车过来了，仆人走来通报。天又下雨了，夫人小姐先是磨蹭了一下，然后忙碌起来，大声谈论着，这一准使糖果店里所有的人都明白，是达尔林普尔夫人来请埃利奥特小姐上车。最后，埃利奥特小姐和她的朋友走开了，照料她们上车的只有那位仆人，因为做堂哥的没有回来。温特沃思上校望着她们，再次掉脸朝着安妮，他虽然嘴里没说，但是从举止上看得出来，他要送她上车。
“非常感谢你，”她答道，“不过我不和她们一起走。马车坐不下这么多人。我走路，我喜欢走路。”
“可天在下雨。”
“哦！雨很小，我看算不上下雨。”
温特沃思上校停了片刻，然后说道：“我虽说昨天才到，可是已经为在巴思生活做好了充分准备，你瞧，”他指着一把新伞，“你要是执意要走的话，希望你能打着这把伞。不过，我想最好还是让我给你叫一台轿子来。”
安妮十分感激他，但谢绝了他的好意，一面把她认为雨很快就要住的话重复了一遍。接着她又补充说：“我只是在等候埃利奥特先生。我想他马上就会回来。”
她的话音刚落，埃利奥特先生便走了进来。温特沃思上校完全记得他。他和站在莱姆台阶上以爱慕的目光望着安妮走过的那个人毫无两样，只是现在仗着自己是她的亲戚和朋友，神情姿态有些差异。他急急忙忙地走进来，似乎眼里看到、心里想着的只有安妮。他为自己的耽搁表示歉意，为使安妮久等感到痛心，迫切希望马上就带着她走，不要等到雨大起来。转眼间，他们便一道离开了，安妮用手挽住他的胳膊，打温特沃思上校面前走过时，只来得及朝他温柔而尴尬地望了一眼，说了声“再见”！
等他俩走得看不见了，与温特沃思上校同行的几位女士便对他们议论开了。
“我想埃利奥特先生并不讨厌他的堂妹吧？”
“唔，不讨厌，那是明摆着的。人们可以猜想他俩会出现什么情况。他总是和她们在一起，我想是有一半时间住在她们家里。好一个美男子！”
“是的。阿特金森小姐曾经和他一道在沃利斯府上吃过饭，说他是她结交过的最讨人喜欢的男子。”
“我觉得安妮·埃利奥特很漂亮。你要是细瞧，她还真漂亮呢。现在不作兴这么说，可是不瞒你说，我爱慕她胜过爱慕她姐姐。”
“哦！我也如此。”
“我也如此。没法相比。可男人们都发疯似的追求埃利奥特小姐。他们觉得安妮太娇贵了。”
埃利奥特先生陪着安妮朝卡姆登巷走去。他假如一路上一声不吭的话，安妮倒会对他感激不尽。她从来不曾觉得听他说话有这么困难，尽管他对她极为关心，而且谈论的大都是些总能激起她兴趣的话题：一是热烈而公正地赞扬拉塞尔夫人，显得很有鉴赏力；二是含沙射影地攻击克莱夫人，听起来十分在理。可是现在她一心只想着温特沃思上校。她无法想象他眼下是怎样一种心情，不知道他是不是真的忍受着失恋的痛苦。不搞清楚这一点，她就不可能恢复常态。
她希望自己能很快变得明智起来。可是天哪！她必须承认，她现在还不明智。
还有个极其主要的情况她需要知道，这就是温特沃思上校打算在巴思呆多久。这个问题他没说起过，或者是她自己想不起来了。他也许仅仅是路过。但是更有可能的，是他要在这里住下来。如果真是这样，鉴于在巴思人人都可能相逢，拉塞尔夫人十有八九会在什么地方遇见他。她会认出他来吗？结果又会怎样呢？
她出于无奈，已经把路易莎·默斯格罗夫要嫁给本威克中校的消息告诉了拉塞尔夫人。见到拉塞尔夫人那副吃惊的样子，安妮心里很不是滋味。这位夫人对情况并不十分了解，万一遇见温特沃思上校，也许又要对他增添几分偏见。
第二天早晨，安妮陪着她的朋友一道出去。头一个小时，她一直在提心吊胆地留神温特沃思上校，幸而没有见到。可是到了最后，正当两人顺着普尔蒂尼街往回走的时候，她在右手的人行道上发现了他，他所处的位置使她离着大半条街也能看得见。他周围有许多人，一群一群的也朝同一方向走去，不过谁也不会认错他。安妮本能地望望拉塞尔夫人，这倒不是因为她生出了什么怪念头，认为拉塞尔夫人能像她自己一样立即认出温特沃思上校。不，除非迎面相视，否则拉塞尔夫人休想认出他。不过，安妮还是有些焦灼不安，不时地瞅瞅她。温特沃思上校亮相的时刻来临了，安妮虽说不敢再扭头望了（因为她知道自己的脸色不中看），但她十分清楚，拉塞尔夫人的目光正对着温特沃思上校的那个方向。总之，她正在目不转睛地注视他。她完全可以理解，温特沃思上校在拉塞尔夫人的心目中具有一种摇神动魄的魅力，她的目光很难从他身上抽回来，一见他在异水他乡服了八九年现役居然没有失去半点魅力，这岂能不叫她感到惊讶！
最后，拉塞尔夫人终于转过头来。“现在她会怎么议论他呢？”
“你会奇怪，”拉塞尔夫人说，“什么东西让我凝视了这么久。我在寻找一种窗帘，是阿利西亚夫人和弗兰克兰太太昨晚告诉我的。她们说有一家客厅的窗帘是全巴思最美观、最实用的，这一家就在这一带，街这边，但是她们记不清门牌号码，我只好设法找找看。不过说实话，我在这附近看不见她们说的这种窗帘。”
安妮不知道是对她的朋友还是对她自己产生了一股怜悯鄙夷之情，不由得叹了口气，脸上一红，淡然一笑。最使她感到恼火的是，她谨小慎微地虚惊了一场，结果坐失良机，连温特沃思上校是否发现她俩都没注意到。
无声无息地过了一两天，温特沃思上校最可能出入的戏院、娱乐厅，对埃利奥特一家人来说却有失时髦，他们晚上的唯一乐趣就是举行些风雅而无聊的家庭舞会，而且越搞越来劲。安妮厌烦这种死气沉沉的局面，厌烦孤陋寡闻，觉得自己有力无处使，身体比以前强多了，迫不及待地要参加音乐会。这场音乐会是专为达尔林普尔夫人的被保护人举办的。当然，她们一家人应该参加。这的确将是一场很好的音乐会，而温特沃思上校又十分喜欢音乐。安妮只要能够再与他交谈几分钟，也就会感到心满意足了。至于说敢不敢向他打招呼，她觉得时机一到，她将浑身都是勇气。伊丽莎白不理他，拉塞尔夫人瞧不起他，这反倒使她坚强起来，她觉得她应该关心他。
安妮曾经含含糊糊地答应过史密斯夫人：这天晚上同她一起度过。后来她匆匆忙忙地跑到她家稍坐了一会，说了声对不起，今天不能久留了，明天一定再来多坐一会。史密斯夫人和颜悦色地同意了。
“当然可以，”她说。“不过你再来的时候，可要把音乐会的情况细说给我听听。你们参加音乐会的都有些什么人？”
安妮说出了所有参加人的姓名。史密斯夫人没有答话。可是当安妮起身要走的时候，她却带着半认真、半开玩笑的神气说道：“我衷心希望你们的音乐会取得成功。你明天能来的话，千万得来。我有个预感，你来看我的次数不多了。”
安妮蓦地一惊，实在摸不着头脑。她莫名其妙地愣了片刻之后，只好匆匆地离开，而且心里并不感到遗憾。
