 Jane Austen moment in Persuasion
Chapter 14

Elizabeth's last letter had communicated a piece of news of some interest. Mr Elliot was in Bath.  He had called in Camden Place; had called a second time, a third; had been pointedly attentive.  If Elizabeth and her father did not deceive themselves, had been taking much pains to seek the acquaintance, and proclaim the value of the connection, as he had formerly taken pains to shew neglect.  This was very wonderful if it were true; and Lady Russell was in a state of very agreeable curiosity and perplexity about Mr Elliot, already recanting the sentiment she had so lately expressed to Mary, of his being "a man whom she had no wish to see."  She had a great wish to see him.  If he really sought to reconcile himself like a dutiful branch, he must be forgiven for having dismembered himself from the paternal tree.
