But now there is one good thing, we shall be able to meet, and meet pretty often, for Lady Middleton's delighted with Mrs. Dashwood, so we shall be a good deal in Harley Street, I dare say, and Edward spends half his time with his sister- besides, Lady Middleton and Mrs. Ferrars will visit now;- and Mrs. Ferrars and your sister were both so good to say, more than once, they should always be glad to see me. They are such charming women!- I am sure if ever you tell your sister what I think of her, you cannot speak too high." 　　 But Elinor would not give her any encouragement to hope that she should tell her sister. Lucy continued,- 　　 "I am sure I should have seen it in a moment, if Mrs. Ferrars had took dislike to me. If she had only made me a formal courtesy, for instance, without saying a word, and never after had took any notice of me, and never looked at me in a pleasant way- you know what I mean- if I had been treated in that forbidding sort of way, I should have gave it all up in despair. I could not have stood it. For where she does dislike, I know it is most violent."
