less striking than it had been on him. He laughed most immoderately. The idea of Edward's being a clergyman and living in a small parsonage-house diverted him beyond measure; and when to that was added the fanciful imagery of Edward reading prayers in a white surplice and publishing the banns of marriage between John Smith and Mary Brown he could conceive nothing more ridiculous.Elinor while she waited in silence and immovable gravity the conclusion of such folly could not restrain her eyes from being fixed on him with a look that spoke all the contempt it excited. It was a look however very well bestowed,vans shoes; for it relieved her own feelings and gave no intelligence to him. He was recalled from wit to wisdom not by any reproof of hers but by his own sensibility. "We may treat it as a joke" said he at last recovering from the affected laugh which had considerably lengthened out the genuine gaiety of the moment; "but upon my soul it is a most serious business. Poor Edward! he is ruined for ever. I am extremely sorry for it,fake vans; for I know him to be a very good-hearted creature- as well-meaning a fellow perhaps as any in the world. You must not judge of him Miss Dashwood from your slight acquaintance. Poor Edward! His manners are certainly not the happiest in nature. But we are not all born you know with the same powers- the same address. Poor fellow! to see him in a circle of strangers!

"Yes; once while she was staying in this house I happened to drop in for ten minutes; and I saw quite enough of her; the merest awkward country girl without style or elegance and almost without beauty. I remember her perfectly. Just the kind of girl I should suppose likely to captivate poor Edward.
