hoping...he were the husband of some other woman"

"Henry Crawford came and sat some time with them; and...her heart was softened for a while towards him - because he really seemed to feel. - Quite unlike his usual self, he scarcely said any thing. He was evidently oppressed, and Fanny must grieve for him, though hoping she might never see him again till he were the husband of some other woman."
