What's really going on
Not calling on the cousins would be "very rude," yet such connections are soon "most unpleasant." The same voice insists "I have never been in that house above twice" and "In my life." Mary is "good-natured enough," but she has "too much of the Elliot pride," and the wish is that Charles had married Anne. The listener answers "No. I did not" when asked if Charles wanted Anne, then hears she "certainly" refused him. The only cause given is "Papa always said it was her great friend Lady Russell's doing": Charles might not be bookish enough, so she persuaded Anne to refuse him. Against that, a voice says "I myself would have no idea of being so easily persuaded" and "When I have made up my mind, I have made it." The reply, "Yours is a character, I see, of decision and firmness," is followed by "I honour it."

このシーンについての質問
Why say they have never been in that house above twice?
It comes right after calling such connections most unpleasant. The speaker is not bragging about a full social life. "Never ... above twice," plus "In my life," caps the visits at two and keeps the house at a distance.
Why did Anne refuse Charles, according to this talk?
Charles wanted to marry Anne and she refused him, before he married Mary. The only reason offered is hearsay: Papa said it was Lady Russell's doing, because Charles might not be bookish enough to please her, so she persuaded Anne to refuse him.
Did the listener already know Charles had wanted Anne?
No. The question "Did you not know he wanted to marry Anne?" gets "No. I did not." A follow-up, "Do you mean to say she refused him?" is answered "Yes, certainly."
What is being praised as decision and firmness?
The boast just before it: "I myself would have no idea of being so easily persuaded," "When I have made up my mind, I have made it," and "I'm quite determined." The reply honours that, in the line "And I honour it."
