Another pause ensued ; Marianne was greatly agitated , and it ended thus . “ Elinor , I must go home . I must go and comfort mama . Can not we be gone to - morrow ? ” “ To - morrow , Marianne ! ” “ Yes , why should I stay here ? I came only for Willoughby’s sake — and now who cares for me ? Who regards me ? ” “ It would be impossible to go to - morrow . We owe Mrs . Jennings much more than civility ; and civility of the commonest kind must prevent such a hasty removal as that . ” “ Well then , another day or two , perhaps ; but I cannot stay here long , I cannot stay to endure the questions and remarks of all these people . The Middletons and Palmers — how am I to bear their pity ? The pity of such a woman as Lady Middleton ! Oh , what would he say to that ! ” Elinor advised her to lie down again , and for a moment she did so ; but no attitude could give her ease ; and in restless pain of mind and body she moved from one posture to another , till growing more and more hysterical , her sister could with difficulty keep her on the bed at all , and for some time was fearful of being constrained to call for assistance . Some lavender drops , however , which she was at length persuaded to take , were of use ; and from that time till Mrs . Jennings returned , she continued on the bed quiet and motionless . CHAPTER XXX . Mrs . Jennings came immediately to their room on her return , and without waiting to have her request of admittance answered , opened the door and walked in with a look of real concern . “ How do you do my dear ? ” — said she in a voice of great compassion to Marianne , who turned away her face without attempting to answer . “ How is she , Miss Dashwood ? Poor thing ! she looks very bad . No wonder . Ay , it is but too true . He is to be married very soon — a good - for - nothing fellow ! I have no patience with him . Mrs . Taylor told me of it half an hour ago , and she was told it by a particular friend of Miss Grey herself , else I am sure I should not have believed it ; and I was almost ready to sink as it was . Well , said I , all I can say is , that if this be true , he has used a young lady of my acquaintance abominably ill , and I wish with all my soul his wife may plague his heart out . And so I shall always say , my dear , you may depend on it . I have no notion of men’s going on in this way ; and if ever I meet him again , I will give him such a dressing as he has not had this many a day . But there is one comfort , my dear Miss Marianne ; he is not the only young man in the world worth having ; and with your pretty face you will never want admirers . Well , poor thing ! I won’t disturb her any longer , for she had better have her cry out at once and have done with . The Parrys and Sandersons luckily are coming tonight you know , and that will amuse her . ”
