3 "That is true," cried Marianne, in a cheerful voice, and walking to the window as she spoke, to examine the day.

5 She then went away, walking on tiptoe out of the room, as if she supposed her young friend's affliction could be increased by noise.
6 The closing of the little gate, at the entrance of the green court in front of the house, drew her eyes to the window, and she saw a large party walking up to the door.
7 Elinor was prevented from making any reply to this civil triumph, by the door's being thrown open, the servant's announcing Mr. Ferrars, and Edward's immediately walking in.
