By
which
the
Colonel
was
surprised
to
find
that
SHE
was
considering
Mr
.
Ferrars
s
marriage
as
the
certain
consequence
of
the
presentation
;
for
he
did
not
suppose
it
possible
that
Delaford
living
could
supply
such
an
income
,
as
anybody
in
his
style
of
life
would
venture
to
settle
on
and
he
said
so
.
"
This
little
rectory
CAN
do
no
more
than
make
Mr
.
Ferrars
comfortable
as
a
bachelor
;
it
cannot
enable
him
to
marry
.
I
am
sorry
to
say
that
my
patronage
ends
with
this
;
and
my
interest
is
hardly
more
extensive
.
If
,
however
,
by
an
unforeseen
chance
it
should
be
in
my
power
to
serve
him
farther
,
I
must
think
very
differently
of
him
from
what
I
now
do
,
if
I
am
not
as
ready
to
be
useful
to
him
then
as
I
sincerely
wish
I
could
be
at
present
.
What
I
am
now
doing
indeed
,
seems
nothing
at
all
,
since
it
can
advance
him
so
little
towards
what
must
be
his
principal
,
his
only
object
of
happiness
.
His
marriage
must
still
be
a
distant
good
;
at
least
,
I
am
afraid
it
cannot
take
place
very
soon
.
"
Such
was
the
sentence
which
,
when
misunderstood
,
so
justly
offended
the
delicate
feelings
of
Mrs

Jennings
;
but
after
this
narration
of
what
really
passed
between
Colonel
Brandon
and
Elinor
,
while
they
stood
at
the
window
,
the
gratitude
expressed
by
the
latter
on
their
parting
,
may
perhaps
appear
in
general
,
not
less
reasonably
excited
,
nor
less
properly
worded
than
if
it
had
arisen
from
an
offer
of
marriage
.
"
Well
,
Miss
Dashwood
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Jennings
,
sagaciously
smiling
,
as
soon
as
the
gentleman
had
withdrawn
,
"
I
do
not
ask
you
what
the
Colonel
has
been
saying
to
you
;
for
though
,
upon
my
honour
,
I
TRIED
to
keep
out
of
hearing
,
I
could
not
help
catching
enough
to
understand
his
business
.
And
I
assure
you
I
never
was
better
pleased
in
my
life
,
and
I
wish
you
joy
of
it
with
all
my
heart
.
"
"
Thank
you
,
ma
am
,
"
said
Elinor
.
"
It
is
a
matter
of
great
joy
to
me
;
and
I
feel
the
goodness
of
Colonel
Brandon
most
sensibly
.
There
are
not
many
men
who
would
act
as
he
has
done
.
Few
people
who
have
so
compassionate
a
heart
!
I
never
was
more
astonished
in
my
life
.
"
"
Lord
!
my
dear
,
you
are
very
modest
.
I
an
t
the
least
astonished
at
it
in
the
world
,
for
I
have
often
thought
of
late
,
there
was
nothing
more
likely
to
happen
.

You
judged
from
your
knowledge
of
the
Colonel
s
general
benevolence
;
but
at
least
you
could
not
foresee
that
the
opportunity
would
so
very
soon
occur
.
"
"
Opportunity
!
"
repeated
Mrs
.
Jennings
"
Oh
!
as
to
that
,
when
a
man
has
once
made
up
his
mind
to
such
a
thing
,
somehow
or
other
he
will
soon
find
an
opportunity
.
Well
,
my
dear
,
I
wish
you
joy
of
it
again
and
again
;
and
if
ever
there
was
a
happy
couple
in
the
world
,
I
think
I
shall
soon
know
where
to
look
for
them
.
"
"
You
mean
to
go
to
Delaford
after
them
I
suppose
,
"
said
Elinor
,
with
a
faint
smile
.
