In the mean time, till all these alterations could be made…

Volume I, Chapter 14: The sudden termination of Colonel Brandon’s visit…
One evening in particular…
Volume I, Chapter 15: Mrs Dashwood’s visit to Lady Middleton...
Mrs Dashwood felt too much for speech...
‘Then you would have told me...’
‘A mighty concession indeed!’
Volume I, Chapter 16: Marianne would have thought herself very inexcusable
It was several days before Willoughby's name was mentioned…
He was the only person in the world...
Volume I, Chapter 17: Mrs Dashwood was surprised only for a moment…
Elinor smiled again...
‘I have frequently detected myself in such kind of mistakes...’
Volume I, Chapter 18: Elinor saw with great uneasiness the low spirits…
The subject was continued no farther…
Volume I, Chapter 19: Edward remained a week at the cottage…
‘I think Edward,’ said Mrs Dashwood...
Elinor sat down to her drawing-table...
Mrs Palmer was several years younger than Lady Middleton…
‘Here comes Marianne,’ cried Sir John...
Volume I, Chapter 20: As the Miss Dashwoods entered the drawing-room…
Charlotte laughted heartily...
Elinor was again obliged to decline her invitation…
Volume I, Chapter 21: The Palmers returned to Cleveland...
When their promised visit to the park...
‘Poor little creatures!’ said Miss Steele…
This specimen of the Miss Steeles was enough…
Volume I, Chapter 22: Marianne, who had never much toleration...
What felt Elinor at that moment?
She was silent
Here she took out her handkerchief...
Volume II, Chapter 1: However small Elinor’s general dependence…
As these considerations occurred to her....
But it was not immediately that an opportunity of doing so…
Lucy directly drew her work table near her…

Mrs Jennings repeated her assurance...
Elinor could not help smiling at this display of indifference…

As dinner was not to be ready in less than two hours…
This, and the manner in which it was said…
After an hour or two…
Volume II, Chapter 5: ‘If this open weather holds much longer...’
About a week after their arrival...
Elinor found, when the evening was over...
Her letter was scarcely finished when a rap foretold a visitor…
Volume II, Chapter 6: Nothing occurred during the next three or four days…
He made no reply; his complexion changed…
Volume II, Chapter 7: Before the housemaid had lit their fire...
Mrs Jennings laughed again, but Elinor had not spirits to say more…
In her earnest meditations on the contents of the letter…
Elinor said no more
That such letters, so full of affection and confidence…
Again they were both silent
Volume II, Chapter 8: Mrs Jennings came immediately...
‘Poor soul!’ cried Mrs Jennings...
‘It would be unnecessary I am sure...’
In the drawing room whither she then repaired...
‘You mean,’ answered Elinor, with forced calmness…
Volume II, Chapter 9: From a night of more sleep than she had expected...
Mrs Jennings left them earlier than usual...
‘You have probably entirely forgotten a conversation…’
He could say no more...
Again he stopped to recover himself; and Elinor spoke her feelings…
‘Good heavens!’ cried Elinor
Elinor’s thanks followed this speech with grateful earnestness…
Volume II, Chapter 10: When the particulars of this conversation were repeated…
Marianne had promised to be guided by her mother’s opinion…
The calm and polite unconcern of Lady Middleton...
Early in February...
Volume II, Chapter 11: After some opposition Marianne yielded…
Their affection and pleasure in meeting was just enough…
After staying with them half an hour…
He paused for her assent and compassion...
‘Why to be sure,’ said he, seeming to recollect himself…
Volume II, Chapter 12: Mrs John Dashwood had so much confidence...
Their claims to the notice of Mrs John Dashwood...
Lucy was all exultation on being so honourably distinguished…
The Colonel, though disclaiming all pretensions...
Volume II, Chapter 13: Elinor’s curiosity to see Mrs Ferrars was satisfied…
Elinor was prevented from making any reply...
This remark was not calculated...
Volume II, Chapter 14: Within a few days after this meeting...
I come now to the relation of a misfortune...
The events of this evening were not very remarkable…
‘You reside in Devonshire, I think,’
As John Dashwood had no more pleasure in music…
Volume III, Chapter 1: Mrs Palmer was so well...
‘That is exactly what I said, my dear.’
Here Mrs Jennings ceased...
Her first communication had reached no farther…
‘I understand you.’
The next morning brought a farther trial of it…
Here Marianne, in an ecstasy of indignation clapped her hands…
‘Poor young man!’
Volume III, Chapter 2: Mrs Jennings was very warm in her praise...
It was lucky, however, for Mrs Jenning's curiosity…
‘I do not understand what you mean by interrupting them,’
The next morning brought Elinor a letter...
Volume III, Chapter 3: The Miss Dashwoods had now been…
Perhaps Mrs Jennings was in hopes...
Elinor’s astonishment at this commission...
Volume III, Chapter 4: ‘Well Miss Dashwood,' said Mrs Jennings...
How she should begin, how she should express herself...
‘Yes,’ continued Elinor, gathering more resolution…
When Mrs Jennings came home...
Volume III, Chapter 5: Edward, having carried his thanks to Colonel Brandon…
Elinor contradicted it, however, very positively…
Elinor had heard enough, if not to gratify her vanity…

Marianne entered the house with her heart swelling…
The two gentlemen arrived the next day...
Volume III, Chapter 7: Marianne got up the next morning at her usual time…

The comfort of such a friend at that moment…
Mr. Harris was punctual in his second visit…
Elinor could not be cheerful. Her joy was of a different kind…
Volume III, Chapter 8: Elinor, starting back with a look of horror…
The steadiness of his manner and the intelligence of his eye…
‘You did then,’ said Elinor, a little softened…
‘Your indifference, however, towards that unfortunate girl...’
They were both silent for a few moments
‘Even so. You would be surprised to hear…’
‘Your wife!’
‘Last night, in Drury Lane lobby...’
Volume III, Chapter 9: Elinor, for some time after he left her...
As soon as Mrs Dashwood had recovered herself...
‘At last we are alone.’
‘Oh! my love, I could not then talk of hope to him...’
Volume III, Chapter 10: Marianne's illness though weakening in its kind…
As they approached Barton...
Marianne had been two or three days at home...
‘Do you compare your conduct with his?’
Here ceased the rapid flow of her self-reproving spirit…
Volume III, Chapter 11: Mrs Dashwood did not hear unmoved...
Marianne’s lips quivered...
Their man-servant had been sent one morning to Exeter…
Mrs Dashwood now looked at her daughter; but Elinor knew better…
Volume III, Chapter 12: Elinor now found the difference…
His countenance as he entered the room, was not too happy…
Volume III, Chapter 13: Unaccountable, however, as the circumstances…
The change which a few hours had wrought…
How long it had been carrying on between them...
That Lucy had certainly meant to deceive...
Edward heard with pleasure...
The letters from town...
Volume III, Chapter 14: After a proper resistance on the part of Mrs Ferrars…
They were visited on their first settling...
What Edward had done to forfeit the right of eldest son…
