1 "The whole history," repeated Anne, laughing.
2 But let me observe that all histories are against you--all stories, prose and verse.
3 There was one circumstance in the history of her grievances of particular irritation.
4 Anne had the whole history of all that such an evening could supply from Lady Russell.
5 She had had a disappointment, moreover, which that book, and especially the history of her own family, must ever present the remembrance of.
6 Mrs Musgrove was giving Mrs Croft the history of her eldest daughter's engagement, and just in that inconvenient tone of voice which was perfectly audible while it pretended to be a whisper.
7 This very awkward history of Mr Elliot was still, after an interval of several years, felt with anger by Elizabeth, who had liked the man for himself, and still more for being her father's heir, and whose strong family pride could see only in him a proper match for Sir Walter Elliot's eldest daughter.
8 So much was pretty soon understood; but till Sir Walter and Elizabeth were walking Mary into the other drawing-room, and regaling themselves with her admiration, Anne could not draw upon Charles's brain for a regular history of their coming, or an explanation of some smiling hints of particular business, which had been ostentatiously dropped by Mary, as well as of some apparent confusion as to whom their party consisted of.
