Love of pleasure, love of admiration, love of display, had become a part of Mrs. Wentworth's life, and she was beginning to reap the fruits of her ambition. For a time it was mighty amusing to her.
The shutters was all shut but on one window, which was Mr Wentworth's study. We knocked at the garden-door, and I aint pretending that we didn't make a noise; and, gentlemen, it wasn't none of the servants it was Mr Wentworth hisself as opened the door." There was here a visible sensation among the judges. It was a point that told.
She had been deeply hurt by Hedin's curt refusal to attend the coasting party, and Wentworth had proved a very luke-warm cavalier. She had started out to be extremely vivacious so all might see that the absence of Hedin was a matter of no concern, but Wentworth's preoccupied manner soon dampened her ardor, until for her the coasting party became a monotonous affair.
She looked at him with troubled eyes, and promptly entered on her studies the following day, working with the assiduity of one who feels that the knowledge may be needed before it can be acquired. Belle was in quite a flutter of excitement on the evening named for Mr. Wentworth's visit, and the genial clergyman would have laughed again could he have heard one of her reasons for welcoming him.
The conclusion of the whole was, that if the woman who had been sensible of Captain Wentworth's merits could be allowed to prefer another man, there was nothing in the engagement to excite lasting wonder; and if Captain Wentworth lost no friend by it, certainly nothing to be regretted.
The opposition still continues. Wentworth imprisoned. His return to Parliament. Wentworth is courted. He goes over to the king. The king appoints Wentworth to office.

Laud's administration of his office. Defense of Episcopacy.
"What if Eugenia what if Eugenia" he asked himself softly; the question dying away in his sense of Eugenia's undetermined capacity. But before Felix had time either to accept or to reject its admonition, even in this vague form, he saw Robert Acton turn out of Mr. Wentworth's inclosure, by a distant gate, and come toward the cottage in the orchard.
I said to him at last: 'Do you still hate talking of it as much as ever? And he said 'yes. I could understand that, and from that day to this I never alluded to it again. But though he won't say a word to me, it seems he can to others." The miserable jealousy in Wentworth's face touched Magdalen. "He knew you had strained every nerve to save him," said Wentworth, turning to Fay.
Justice Harley: and the only thing remarkable about them was that they were mothers of sons of some distinction. Austin Wentworth's story was of that wretched character which to be comprehended, that justice should be dealt him, must be told out and openly; which no one dares now do.
She felt its application to herself, felt it in a nervous thrill all over her; and at the same moment that her eyes instinctively glanced towards the distant table, Captain Wentworth's pen ceased to move, his head was raised, pausing, listening, and he turned round the next instant to give a look, one quick, conscious look at her.
