@@@@@Would it make you happy to write to @@@@@Would it make you happy to write to William?” “Yes, very “Then let it be done nowCome with me into the breakfast-room, we shall find everything there, and be sure of having the room to ourselves “But, cousin, will it go to the post?” “Yes, depend upon me it shall: it shall go with the other letters; and, as your uncle will frank it, it will cost William nothing “My uncle!” repeated Fanny, with a frightened look “Yes, when you have written the letter, I will take it to my father to frank 15 Jane Austen Fanny thought it a bold measure, but offered no further resistance; and they went together into the breakfast-room, where Edmund prepared her paper, and ruled her lines with all the goodwill that her brother could himself have felt, and probably with somewhat more exactnessHe continued with her the whole time of her writing, to assist her with his penknife or his orthography, as either were wanted; and added to these attentions, which she felt very much, a kindness to her brother which delighted her beyond all the restHe wrote with his own hand his love to his cousin William, and sent him half a guinea under the sealFanny’s feelings on the occasion were such as she believed herself incapable of expressing; but her countenance and a few artless words fully conveyed all their gratitude and delight, and her cousin began to find her an interesting objectHe talked to her more, and, from all that she said, was convinced of her having an affectionate heart, and a strong desire of doing right; and he could perceive her to be farther entitled to attention by great sensibility of her situation, and great timidityHe had never knowingly given her pain, but he now felt that she required more positive kindness; and with that view endeavoured, in the first place, to lessen her fears of them all, and gave her especially a great deal of good advice as to playing with Maria and Julia, and being as merry as possible From this day Fanny grew more comfortableShe felt that she had a friend, and the kindness of her cousin Edmund gave her better spirits with everybody elseThe place became less strange, and the people less formidable; and if there were some amongst them whom she could not cease to fear, she began at least to know their ways, and to catch the best manner of conforming to themThe little rusticities and awkwardnesses which had at first made grievous inroads on the tranquillity of all, and not least of herself, necessarily wore away, and she was no longer materially afraid to appear before her uncle, nor did her aunt Norris’s voice make her start very muchTo her cousins she became occasionally an acceptable companionThough unworthy, from inferiority of age and strength, to be their constant associate, their pleasures and schemes were sometimes of a nature to make a third very useful, especially when that third was of an obliging, yielding temper; and they could not but own, when their aunt inquired 16 Mansfield Park into her faults, or their brother Edmund urged her claims to their kindness, that “Fanny was good-natured enough Edmund was uniformly kind himself; and she had nothing worse to endure on the part of Tom than that sort of merriment which a young man of seventeen will always think fair with a child of ten He was just entering into life, full of spirits, and with all the liberal dispositions of an eldest son, who feels born only for expense and enjoymentHis kindness to his little cousin was consistent with his situation and rights: he made her some very pretty presents, and laughed at her As her appearance and spirits improved, Sir Thomas and Mrs Norris thought with greater satisfaction of their benevolent plan; and it was pretty soon decided between them that, though far from clever, she showed a tractable disposition, and seemed likely to give them little troubleA mean opinion of her abilities was not confined to themFanny could read, work, and write, but she had been taught nothing more; and as her cousins found her ignorant of many things with which they had been long familiar, they thought her prodigiously stupid, and for the first two or three weeks were continually bringing some fresh report of it into the drawing-r | | 6:34 am |

“Poor William! He has met with great @@@@@ “Poor William! He has met with great kindness from the chaplain of the Antwerp,” was a tender apostrophe of Fanny’s, very much to the purpose of her own feelings if not of the conversation “I have been so little addicted to take my opinions from my uncle,” said Miss Crawford, “that I can hardly suppose—and since you push me so hard, I must observe, that I am not entirely without the means of seeing what clergymen are, being at this present time the guest of my own brother, DrGrant is most kind and obliging to me, and though he is really a gentleman, and, I dare say, a good scholar and clever, and often preaches good sermons, and is very respectable, I see him to be an indolent, selfish bon vi98 Mansfield Park vant, who must have his palate consulted in everything; who will not stir a finger for the convenience of any one; and who, moreover, if the cook makes a blunder, is out of humour with his excellent wifeTo own the truth, Henry and I were partly driven out this very evening by a disappointment about a green goose, which he could not get the better ofMy poor sister was forced to stay and bear it “I do not wonder at your disapprobation, upon my wordIt is a great defect of temper, made worse by a very faulty habit of selfindulgence; and to see your sister suffering from it must be exceedingly painful to such feelings as yoursFanny, it goes against usWe cannot attempt to defend Dr “No,” replied Fanny, “but we need not give up his profession for all that; because, whatever profession DrGrant had chosen, he would have taken a—not a good temper into it; and as he must, either in the navy or army, have had a great many more people under his command than he has now, I think more would have been made unhappy by him as a sailor or soldier than as a clergymanBesides, I cannot but suppose that whatever there may be to wish otherwise in DrGrant would have been in a greater danger of becoming worse in a more active and worldly profession, where he would have had less time and obligation—where he might have escaped that knowledge of himself, the frequency, at least, of that knowledge which it is impossible he should escape as he is nowA man—a sensible man like DrGrant, cannot be in the habit of teaching others their duty every week, cannot go to church twice every Sunday, and preach such very good sermons in so good a manner as he does, without being the better for it himselfIt must make him think; and I have no doubt that he oftener endeavours to restrain himself than he would if he had been anything but a clergyman “We cannot prove to the contrary, to be sure; but I wish you a better fate, Miss Price, than to be the wife of a man whose amiableness depends upon his own sermons; for though he may preach himself into a good-humour every Sunday, it will be bad enough to have him quarrelling about green geese from Monday morning till Saturday night “I think the man who could often quarrel with Fanny,” said Edmund affectionately, “must be beyond the reach of any sermons 99 Jane Austen Fanny turned farther into the window; and Miss Crawford had only time to say, in a pleasant manner, “I fancy Miss Price has been more used to deserve praise than to hear it”; when, being earnestly invited by the Miss Bertrams to join in a glee, she tripped off to the instrument, leaving Edmund looking after her in an ecstasy of admiration of all her many virtues, from her obliging manners down to her light and graceful tread “There goes good-humour, I am sure,” said he presently“There goes a temper which would never give pain! How well she walks! and how readily she falls in with the inclination of others! joining them the moment she is askedWhat a pity,” he added, after an instant’s reflection, “that she should have been in such hands!” Fanny agreed to it, and had the pleasure of seeing him continue at the window with her, in spite of the expected glee; and of having his eyes soon turned, like hers, towards the scene without, where all that was solemn, and soothing, and lovely, appeared in the brilliancy of an unclouded night, and the contrast of the deep shade of the woodsFanny spoke her feelings“Here’s harmony!” said she; “here’s repose! Here’s what may leave all painting and all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt to describe! Here’s what may tranquillise every care, and lift the heart to rapture! When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene “I like to hear your enthusiasm, Fanny | | 6:34 am |
