" She received no other answer than an artificial, assenting smile, followed by a contemptuous glance, as he turned away, which Anne perfectly knew the meaning of" (Austen, 73).
Although Anne has been separated from Captain Wentworth for eight years, it appears as though she can still easily read him. Austen uses this to draw a connection between the two characters, foreshadowing that their story isn't over just yet.
