At that time, he was a handsome, clever, charming young man, and Anne was prety, gentle, sensitive gi. They fell in love and were happy for & short period, but, when Frederick asked Sir Walter if he could marry Anne, Sie Walter was not pleased. He thought that Frederic’ family was not food enough. Even Lady Russell, who was much more senslble than Si Walter, disapproved. Anne was Lady Russel’ favourite of the elot sisters: only Anne had the gentleness, good sense and modesty that Lady Russell had loved eo much in her old fiend Lady Eliot. Lady Russell thought that it was foolish for ‘Anne to marry 8 young man with no money. When your father digs’ she had said, "hell leave you very little money and no property. You need to marry someone rich and so does Captain Wentworth. if you matry exch other, youll ave no money at all and youllboth be miserable asa result’ ‘Anne was too gentle to argue aginst this.

Mr Charles Mungrove had asked her to marry him, but she had refused, and he had married her sister Mary instead, Anne read about Captain Wentworth’s carer in the newspapers. He had been right: his Navy gareer was a great success. By now he must be quite rch, ‘thought Anne sadly. He had never married Thinking about it row, Lady Russell's advice seemed too cautious: Anne thought she was being prudent,’ but instead she had ruined her if.
