The reasons for this alteration were at the same time related, and theywere such as to make further entreaty on his side impossible. His concernhowever was very apparent; and after expressing it with earnestness,he added in the same low voice, \\\"But, Marianne, the horse is still yours,though you cannot use it now. I shall keep it only till you can claim it.When you leave Barton to form your own establishment in a more lastinghome, Queen Mab shall receive you.\\\"
This was all overheard by Miss Dashwood; and in the whole of thesentence, in his manner of pronouncing it, and in his addressing her sisterby her Christian name alone, she instantly saw an intimacy so decided, ameaning so direct, as marked a perfect agreement between them. Fromthat moment she doubted not of their being engaged to each other; and thebelief of it created no other surprise than that she, or any of their friends,should be left by tempers so frank to discover it by accident.
Margaret related something to her the next day which placed this matterin a still clearer light. Willoughby had spent the preceding evening withthem, and Margaret, by being left some time in the parlour with only himand Marianne, had had opportunity for observations, which, with a mostimportant face, she communicated to her elder sister when they were nextby themselves.
\\\"Oh! Elinor,\\\" she cried, \\\"I have such a secret to tell you aboutMarianne. I am sure she will be married to Mr. Willoughby very soon.\\\"
\\\"You have said so,\\\" replied Elinor, \\\"almost everyday since they firstmet on High-church Down; and they had not known each other a week, Ibelieve, before you were certain that Marianne wore his picture round herneck; but it turned out to be only the miniature of our great uncle.\\\"
\\\"But indeed this is quite another thing. I am sure they will be marriedvery soon, for he has got a lock of her hair.\\\"
\\\"Take care, Margaret. It may be only the hair of some great uncle ofhis.\\\"
\\\"But indeed, Elinor, it is Mariannes. I am almost sure it is, for I sawhim cut it off. Last night after tea, when you and mamma went out of theroom, they were whispering and talking together as fast as could be, andhe seemed to be begging something of her, and presently he took up herscissors and cut off a long lock of her hair, for it was all tumbled down herback; and he kissed it, and folded it up in a piece of white paper, and put itinto his pocketbook.\\\"
