Nothing occurred during the next three or four days to make Eleanor regret what she had done in applying to her mother, for Willoughby neither came nor wrote. They were engaged about the end of that time to attend Lady Middleton to a party, from which Mrs Jennings was kept away by the indisposition of her youngest daughter.
And for this party, Marianne, wholly dispirited, careless of her appearance, and seeming equally indifferent whether she went or stayed,
prepared without one look of hope or one expression of pleasure she sat by the drawing room fire after tea till the moment of lady middleton's arrival without once stirring from her seat or altering her attitude lost in her own thoughts and insensible of her sister's presence
And when at last they were told that Lady Middleton waited for them at the door, she started as if she had forgotten that anyone was expected.
They arrived in due time at the place of destination, and as soon as the string of carriages before them would allow, alighted, ascended the stairs, heard their names announced from one landing place to another in an audible voice, and entered a room splendidly lit up, quite full of company and insufferably hot.

Chapter 2: How do Elinor and Marianne feel before attending the party?
As for Marianne, on the pangs which so unhappy a meeting must already have given her… and on those still more severe which might await her in its probable consequence, she could not reflect without the deepest concern. Her own situation gained in the comparison, for while she could esteem Edward as much as ever, however they might be divided in future, her mind might be always supported.
But every circumstance that could embitter such an evil seemed uniting to heighten the misery of Marianne in a final separation from Willoughby, in an immediate and irreconcilable rupture with him.
