1 They had been a year or two waiting for fortune and promotion.
2 I saw you with the very person who had guided you in that year of misery.
3 My dear Mrs Smith, Mr Elliot's wife has not been dead much above half a year.
4 She had been at Bath the year before, and Lady Russell had heard her spoken of as a charming woman.
5 He was invited to Kellynch Hall; he was talked of and expected all the rest of the year; but he never came.
6 They were come too late in the year for any amusement or variety which Lyme, as a public place, might offer.
7 I do not exactly know, for Henrietta and I were at school at the time; but I believe about a year before he married Mary.
8 I could not bring it into play; it was overwhelmed, buried, lost in those earlier feelings which I had been smarting under year after year.
9 The sweet scenes of autumn were for a while put by, unless some tender sonnet, fraught with the apt analogy of the declining year, with declining happiness, and the images of youth and hope, and spring, all gone together, blessed her memory.
10 The folks of the Great House were to spend the evening of this day at the Cottage; and it being now too late in the year for such visits to be made on foot, the coach was beginning to be listened for, when the youngest Miss Musgrove walked in.
11 It would not be a great match for Henrietta, but Charles has a very fair chance, through the Spicers, of getting something from the Bishop in the course of a year or two; and you will please to remember, that he is the eldest son; whenever my uncle dies, he steps into very pretty property.
12 Captain Harville had taken his present house for half a year; his taste, and his health, and his fortune, all directing him to a residence inexpensive, and by the sea; and the grandeur of the country, and the retirement of Lyme in the winter, appeared exactly adapted to Captain Benwick's state of mind.
13 It is something for a woman to be assured, in her eight-and-twentieth year, that she has not lost one charm of earlier youth; but the value of such homage was inexpressibly increased to Anne, by comparing it with former words, and feeling it to be the result, not the cause of a revival of his warm attachment.
14 Whether former feelings were to be renewed must be brought to the proof; former times must undoubtedly be brought to the recollection of each; they could not but be reverted to; the year of their engagement could not but be named by him, in the little narratives or descriptions which conversation called forth.
