1 I am sure Edward Ferrars is not well.
2 Edward is very amiable, and I love him tenderly.
3 But Edward had no turn for great men or barouches.
4 She felt that Edward stood very high in her opinion.
5 I have the highest opinion in the world of Edward's heart.
6 And Elinor, in quitting Norland and Edward, cried not as I did.
7 Edward Ferrars was not recommended to their good opinion by any peculiar graces of person or address.
8 She could not consider her partiality for Edward in so prosperous a state as Marianne had believed it.
9 Yet, though smiling within herself at the mistake, she honoured her sister for that blind partiality to Edward which produced it.
10 She concluded with a very kind invitation to Mr. and Mrs. John Dashwood to visit her at Barton; and to Edward she gave one with still greater affection.
11 They read, they talked, they sang together; his musical talents were considerable; and he read with all the sensibility and spirit which Edward had unfortunately wanted.
12 I shall not lose you so soon, and Edward will have greater opportunity of improving that natural taste for your favourite pursuit which must be so indispensably necessary to your future felicity.
13 Edward had been staying several weeks in the house before he engaged much of Mrs. Dashwood's attention; for she was, at that time, in such affliction as rendered her careless of surrounding objects.
14 To separate Edward and Elinor was as far from being her object as ever; and she wished to show Mrs. John Dashwood, by this pointed invitation to her brother, how totally she disregarded her disapprobation of the match.
15 Her mother too, in whose mind not one speculative thought of their marriage had been raised, by his prospect of riches, was led before the end of a week to hope and expect it; and secretly to congratulate herself on having gained two such sons-in-law as Edward and Willoughby.
16 Some mothers might have encouraged the intimacy from motives of interest, for Edward Ferrars was the eldest son of a man who had died very rich; and some might have repressed it from motives of prudence, for, except a trifling sum, the whole of his fortune depended on the will of his mother.
17 Marianne looked again; her heart sunk within her; and abruptly turning round, she was hurrying back, when the voices of both her sisters were raised to detain her; a third, almost as well known as Willoughby's, joined them in begging her to stop, and she turned round with surprise to see and welcome Edward Ferrars.
