"...that Captain Wentworth had been in Kellynch yesterday (the first time since the accident), had brought Anne the last note... "

I like how the specifics of the note are not given, but I cannot help but wonder what it said. Has anyone else thought about it? What would be the proper salutation and sign-off for such a note?

And further,

"He had enquired after her, she found, particularly; had expressed his hope of Miss Elliot's not being the worse for her exertions, and had spoken of those exertions as great. This was handsome, and gave her more pleasure than almost any thing else could have done."
