strong attack of them when she first understood what was intended,
when her uncle first made her the offer of visiting the parents, and
brothers, and sisters, from whom she had been divided almost half

infancy, with William for the protector and companion of her journey,
and the certainty of continuing to see William to the last hour
of his remaining on landHad she ever given way to bursts of delight,

and more loved by all than she had ever been before; to feel affection

accomplish, and what only he could have accomplished at all

of long talking on the

for Lady Bertram was convinced of very little more than that
