" Yes,- he had done it. She was in the carriage, and felt that he had placed her there, that his will and his hands had done it, that she owed it to his perception of her fatigue, and his resolution to give her rest..." (Austen, 77).
It is now plainly obvious that Anne regrets her decision of not marrying Captain Wentworth. She clearly still holds many feelings for him, and is living in a dream like state, only truly aware of him and his feelings. Austen is foreshadowing that their story together isn't over yet, and it is one of the main plots of her book, Persuasion.
