There is a view... Written by Rae (10/17/2008 11:45 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Crofts Marriage, penned by Tessa

that he had in fact been on board Croft's ship, which would explain the following exchange:

"We had better not talk about it, my dear," replied Mrs. Croft, pleasantly; "for if Miss Elliot were to hear how soon we came to an understanding, she would never be persuaded that we could be happy together. I had known you by character, however, long before."

"Well, and I had heard of you as a very pretty girl, and what were we to wait for besides? "
