安妮没有看错他。对埃利奥特先生的妒嫉成了他的绊脚石,引起了他的疑虑和痛苦。他在巴思第一次见到安妮时,这种妒嫉心便开始作祟,后来收敛了一个短时期,接着又回来作怪,破坏了那场音乐会。在最后二十四小时中,这种妒嫉心左右着他说的每句话,做的每件事,或者左右他不说什么,不做什么。这种妒嫉逐渐让位给更高的希望,安妮的神情、言谈和举动偶尔激起这种希望。当安妮同哈维尔上校说话时,他听到了她的意见和语气,妒嫉心最后终于被克服了,于是他抑制不住内心的激动,抓起一张纸,倾吐了自己的衷肠。

先前,他出于嗔怒与傲慢,试图去追求路易莎·默斯格罗夫,他说他始终觉得那是不可能的,他不喜欢、也不可能喜欢路易莎。
直到那天,直到后来得暇仔细思考,才认识到安妮那崇高的心灵是路易莎无法比拟的,这颗心无比牢固地攫住了他自己的心。从这里,他认清了坚持原则与固执己见的区别,胆大妄为与冷静果断的区别。从这里,他发现他失去的这
