"Half the sum of attraction, on either side, might have been enough, for he had nothing to do, and she had hardly any body to love..."

This particular line is so sad to me regarding Anne. It shows how much she longed for someone to love her when she met Wentworth. It kind of makes me wonder if she was really in love at 19 or if she was just encouraged because someone was actually paying attention to her. The kind of loving attentions the she did not receive from her own family. It also kind of makes her heartache after she was obliged to give him up seem even more poignant. Just when she though she might get out of her situation with her father and sister.
