“Never mind, perhaps we shall have another romance to offer her. She certainly seems convinced of it. And that reminds me: Lady Heverdon sends her kindest regards.”

IX

To Marianne’s relief, Mrs. Mauleverer’s delight at her son’s unexpected visit quite outweighed her disappointment at the failure of Mr. Emsworth’s suit. “I think you foolish, my love, and so I told Mark, but he seems convinced that you mean what you say, and I have promised that Mr. Emsworth shall trouble you no more. At all events, it is delightful that I shall not be losing your company. But only think of Mark coming all this way merely to arrange your affairs for you: frankly, I had no idea that he would come. There have been times when I have written and urged him to visit me—and on matters of far greater moment too—and not had so much as an answer for my pains. But I think I know how it is; your business is merely his pretext; he has news, I am sure, about the course of his suit to Lady Heverdon.”
