Anne observes the Musgroves interactions with Wentworth and their obvious infatuation with him, which they believe to be love, "Anne longed for the power of representing to them all what they were about, and of pointing out some evils they were exposing themselves to" (76). Captain Wentworth has no intentions for more than friendship with them, "he was only wrong in accepting the attentions of two young women at once" (76). While on the walk Captain Wentworth and Louisa talk about how annoying, "Mary is good natured enough in many respects, but she does sometimes provoke me excessively, be her nonsense and her pride; the Elliot pride. She has a great deal too much of the Elliot pride" (82). Mary's "Elliot pride" is evident in her unwillingness to go the Hayters because they are of low connection and "not good enough".
