In the year '06 he does not write to the woman who'd broken his heart, to humbly renew his addresses; but instead to his friends to crow about his successes with all the appearance of real satisfaction.
In the year '13 he does not lower himself to write to Edward, seeking any crumbs from his brother's correspondents who might reassure him of Miss Eliott's well-being; but instead endures the nightmares that plague him whenever he closes his eyes, where Death claims faithless Anne instead of Fanny Harville and takes her even further from his reach.
In the year '14, though, he can make excuses no longer and picks up pen to paper to inform Sophie that he will be joining her and the Admiral where they should choose to make their residence; fair country, he hopes, with fairer faces to turn his stubborn heart.
