1 She boldly acknowledged herself flattered, and continued her enquiries.
2 Captain Wentworth was acknowledged again by each, by Elizabeth more graciously than before.
3 There was not a baronet from A to Z whom her feelings could have so willingly acknowledged as an equal.
4 When he did perceive and acknowledge her, however, it was done with all his usual frankness and good humour.
5 She had already acknowledged it to herself, and she could not think differently, let him think of her as he would.
6 Anne had never seen her father and sister before in contact with nobility, and she must acknowledge herself disappointed.
7 Anne could just acknowledge within herself such a possibility of having been induced to marry him, as made her shudder at the idea of the misery which must have followed.
8 Thus much indeed he was obliged to acknowledge: that he had been constant unconsciously, nay unintentionally; that he had meant to forget her, and believed it to be done.
