"
My
dearest
child
,
"
said
her
mother
,
laughing
,
"
at
this
rate
you
must
be
in
continual
terror
of
MY
decay
;
and
it
must
seem
to
you
a
miracle
that
my
life
has
been
extended
to
the
advanced
age
of
forty
.
152
"
153
"
Mama
,
you
are
not
doing
me
justice
.
I
know
very
well
that
Colonel
Brandon
is
not
old
enough
to
make
his
friends
yet
apprehensive
of
losing
him
in
the
course
of
nature
.
He
may
live
twenty
years
longer
.
But
thirty
-
five
has
nothing
to
do
with
matrimony
.

"
Perhaps
,
"
said
Elinor
,
"
thirty
-
five
and
seventeen
had
better
not
have
any
thing
to
do
with
matrimony
together
.
But
if
there
should
by
any
chance
happen
to
be
a
woman
who
is
single
at
seven
and
twenty
,
I
should
not
think
Colonel
Brandon
s
being
thirty
-
five
any
objection
to
his
marrying
HER
.
"
155
"
A
woman
of
seven
and
twenty
,
"
said
Marianne
,
after
pausing
a
moment
,
"
can
never
hope
to
feel
or
inspire
affection
again
,
and
if
her
home
be
uncomfortable
,
or
her
fortune
small
,
I
can
suppose
that
she
might
bring
herself
to
submit
to
the
offices
of
a
nurse
,
for
the
sake
of
the
provision
and
security
of
a
wife
.
In
his
marrying
such
a
woman
therefore
there
would
be
nothing
unsuitable
.
It
would
be
a
compact
of
convenience
,
and
the
world
would
be
satisfied
.
In
my
eyes
it
would
be
no
marriage
at
all
,
but
that
would
be
nothing
.
To
me
it
would
seem
only
a
commercial
exchange
,
in
which
each
wished
to
be
benefited
at
the
expense
of
the
other
.
"
156
"
It
would
be
impossible
,
I
know
,
"
replied
Elinor
,
"
to
convince
you
that
a
woman
of
seven
and
twenty
could
feel
for
a
man
of
thirty
-
five
anything
near
enough
to
love
,
to
make
him
a
desirable
companion
to
her
.
But
I
must
object
to
your
dooming
Colonel
Brandon
and
his
wife
to
the
constant
confinement
of
a
sick
chamber
,
merely
because
he
chanced
to
complain
yesterday
(
a
very
cold
damp
day
)
of
a
slight
rheumatic
feel
in
one
of
his
shoulders
.
157

"
But
he
talked
of
flannel
waistcoats
,
"
said
Marianne
;
"
and
with
me
a
flannel
waistcoat
is
invariably
connected
with
aches
,
cramps
,
rheumatisms
,
and
every
species
of
ailment
that
can
afflict
the
old
and
the
feeble
.
"
159
"
Had
he
been
only
in
a
violent
fever
,
you
would
not
have
despised
him
half
so
much
.
Confess
,
Marianne
,
is
not
there
something
interesting
to
you
in
the
flushed
cheek
,
hollow
eye
,
and
quick
pulse
of
a
fever
?
"
160
Soon
after
this
,
upon
Elinor
s
leaving
the
room
,
"
Mama
,
"
said
Marianne
,
"
I
have
an
alarm
on
the
subject
of
illness
which
I
cannot
conceal
from
you
.
I
am
sure
Edward
Ferrars
is
not
well
.
We
have
now
been
here
almost
a
fortnight
,
and
yet
he
does
not
come
.
Nothing
but
real
indisposition
could
occasion
this
extraordinary
delay
.
What
else
can
detain
him
at
Norland
?
"
