A very few days more, and Captain Wentworth was known to be at Kellynch, and Mr Musgrove had called on him, and come back warm in his praise, and he was engaged with the Crofts to dine at Uppercross, by the end of another week. It had been a great disappointment to Mr Musgrove to find that no earlier day could be fixed1, so impatient was he to shew his gratitude2, by seeing Captain Wentworth under his own roof, and welcoming him to all that was strongest and best in his cellars. But a week must pass; only a week, in Anne's reckoning, and then, she supposed, they must meet; and soon she began to wish that she could feel secure even for a week.
Captain Wentworth made a very early return to Mr Musgrove's civility, and she was all but calling there in the same half hour. She and Mary were actually setting forward for the Great House, where, as she afterwards learnt, they must inevitably3 have found him, when they were stopped by the eldest4 boy's being at that moment brought home in consequence of a bad fall. The child's situation put the visit entirely5 aside; but she could not hear of her escape with indifference6, even in the midst of the serious anxiety which they afterwards felt on his account.
His collar-bone was found to be dislocated, and such injury received in the back, as roused the most alarming ideas. It was an afternoon of distress7, and Anne had every thing to do at once; the apothecary8 to send for, the father to have pursued and informed, the mother to support and keep from hysterics, the servants to control, the youngest child to banish9, and the poor suffering one to attend and soothe
