He perceived that enough had been said of Everingham, and that
it would be as well to talk of something else, and turned to Mansfield
He could not have chosen better; that was a topic to bring back her
attention and her looks almost instantlyIt was a real indulgence to
her to hear or to speak of MansfieldNow so long divided from
everybody who knew the place, she felt it quite the voice of a friend
when he mentioned it, and led the way to her fond exclamations in
praise of its beauties and comforts, and by his honourable tribute to
its inhabitants allowed her to gratify her own heart in the warmest
eulogium, in speaking of her uncle as all that was clever and good,
and her aunt as having the sweetest of all sweet tempers
He had a great attachment to Mansfield himself; he said so; he
looked forward with the hope of spending much, very much, of his
time there; always there, or in the neighbourhoodHe particularly
built upon a very happy summer and autumn there this year; he felt
that it would be so: he depended upon it; a summer and autumn
infinitely superior to the lastAs animated, as diversified, as social,
but with circumstances of superiority undescribable
?Mansfield, Sotherton, Thornton Lacey,? he continued; ?what a
society will be comprised in those houses! And at Michaelmas, perhaps,
a fourth may be added: some small hunting-box in the vicin355

ity of everything so dear; for as to any partnership in Thornton
Lacey, as Edmund Bertram once good-humouredly proposed, I hope
I foresee two objections: two fair, excellent, irresistible objections to
that plan
Fanny was doubly silenced here; though when the moment was
passed, could regret that she had not forced chanel watches herself into the acknowledged
comprehension of one half of his meaning, and encouraged
him to say something more of his sister and EdmundIt was a subject
which she must learn to speak of, and the weakness that shrunk
from it would soon be quite unpardonablePrice and his friend had seen all that they wished, or
had time for, the others were ready to return; and in the course of
their walk back, MrCrawford contrived a minute?s privacy for telling
Fanny that his only business in Portsmouth was to see her; that
he was come down for a couple of days on her account, and hers
only, and because he could not endure a longer total separationShe
was sorry, really sorry; and yet in spite of this and the two or three
other things which she wished he had not said, she thought him
altogether improved since she had seen him; he was much more
gentle, obliging, and attentive to other people?s feelings than he had
ever been at Mansfield; she had never seen him so agreeable?so
near being agreeable; his behaviour to her father could not offend,
and there was something particularly kind and proper in the notice
he took of SusanHe was decidedly improvedShe wished the next
day over, she wished he had come only for one day; but it was not so
very bad as she would have expected: the pleasure of talking of
Mansfield was so very great!
Before they parted, she had to thank him for another pleasure,
and one of no trivial kindHer father asked him to do them the
honour of taking his mutton with them, and Fanny had time for
only one thrill of horror, before he declared himself prevented by a
prior engagementHe was engaged to dinner already both for that
day and the next; he had met with some acquaintance chanel j12 watches at the Crown
who would not be denied; he should have the honour, however, of
waiting on them again on the morrow, etc and so they parted?
Fanny in a state of actual felicity from escaping so horrible an evil!
To have had him join their family dinner-party, and see all their
356
Mansfield Park
deficiencies, would have been dreadful! Rebecca?s cookery and
Rebecca?s waiting, and Betsey?s eating at table without restraint, and
pulling everything about as she chose, were what Fanny herself was
not yet enough inured to for her often to make a tolerable mealShe
was nice only from natural delicacy, but he had been brought up in
a school of luxury and epicurism

CHAPTER XLII
THE PRICES were just setting off for church the next day when Mr
Crawford appeared againHe came, not to stop, but to join them;
he was asked to go with them to the Garrison chapel, which was
exactly what he had intended, and they all walked thither together
The family were now seen to advantageNature had given them
no inconsiderable share of beauty, and every Sunday dressed them
in their cleanest skins and best attireSunday always brought this
comfort to Fanny, and on this Sunday she felt it more than ever
Her poor mother now did not look so very unworthy of being Lady
Bertram?s sister as she was but too apt to lookIt often grieved her to
the heart to think of the contrast between them; to think that where
nature had made so little difference, circumstances should have made
so much, and that her mother, as handsome as Lady Bertram, and
some years her junior, should have an appearance so much more
worn and faded, so comfortless, so slatternly, so shabbyBut Sunday
made her a very creditable and black gucci bags tolerably cheerful-looking Mrs
Price, coming abroad with a fine family of children, feeling a little
respite of her weekly cares, and only discomposed if she saw her
boys run into danger, or Rebecca pass by with a flower in her hat
In chapel they were obliged to divide, but MrCrawford took care
not to be divided from the female branch; and after chapel he still
continued with them, and made one in the family party on the
rampartsPrice took her weekly walk on the ramparts every fine Sunday
throughout the year, always going directly after morning service and
staying till dinner-timeIt was her public place: there she met her
acquaintance, heard a little news, talked over the badness of the Portsmouth
servants, and wound up her spirits for the six days ensuing
Thither they now went; MrCrawford most happy to consider
358
Mansfield Park
the Miss Prices as his peculiar charge; and before they had been
there long, somehow or other, there was no saying how, Fanny could
not have believed it, but he was walking between them with an arm
of each under his, and she did not know how to prevent or put an
end to itIt made her uncomfortable for a time, but yet there were
enjoyments in the day and in the view which would be felt
The day was uncommonly lovelyIt was really March; but it was
April in its mild air, brisk soft wind, and bright sun, occasionally
clouded for a minute; and everything looked so beautiful under the
influence of such a sky, the effects of the shadows pursuing each
other on the ships at Spithead and the island beyond, with the evervarying
hues of the sea, now at high water, dancing in its glee and
dashing against the ramparts with so fine a sound, produced gucci black bag altogether
such a combination of charms for Fanny, as made her gradually
almost careless of the circumstances under which she felt them
Nay, had she been without his arm, she would soon have known
that she needed it, for she wanted strength for a two hours? saunter
of this kind, coming, as it generally did, upon a week?s previous
inactivityFanny was beginning to feel the effect of being debarred
from her usual regular exercise; she had lost ground as to health
since her being in Portsmouth; and but for MrCrawford and the
beauty of the weather would soon have been knocked up now
The loveliness of the day, and of the view, he felt like herselfThey
often stopt with the same sentiment and taste, leaning against the
wall, some minutes, to look and admire; and considering he was
not Edmund, Fanny could not but allow that he was sufficiently
open to the charms of nature, and very well able to express his admiration
She had a few tender reveries now and then, which he
could sometimes take advantage of to look in her face without detection;
and the result of these looks was, that though as bewitching
as ever, her face was less blooming than it ought to beShe said she
was very well, and did not like to be supposed otherwise; but take it
all in all, he was convinced that her present residence could not be
comfortable, and therefore could not be salutary for her, and he was
growing anxious for her being again at Mansfield, where her own
happiness, and his in seeing her, must be so much greater
?You have been here a month, I think?? said he

?The effect of education,? said Fanny gently
Edmund could not but agree to it?Yes, that uncle and aunt! They
have injured the finest mind; for sometimes, Fanny, I own to you, it
does appear more than manner: it appears as if the mind itself was
tainted
Fanny imagined this to be an appeal to her judgment, and therefore,
after a moment?s consideration, said, ?If you only want me as a
listener, cousin, I will be as useful as I can; but I am not qualified for
an adviserDo not ask advice of me
?You are right, Fanny, to protest against such an office, but you
need not be afraidIt is a subject on which I should never ask advice;
it is the sort of subject on which it had better never be asked;
and few, I imagine, do ask it, but when they want to be influenced
against their conscienceI only want to talk to youExcuse the liberty; but take care how you talk
to meDo not tell me anything now, which hereafter you may be
sorry forThe time may come??
The colour rushed into her cheeks as she spoke
?Dearest Fanny!? cried Edmund, pressing her hand to his lips
with almost as much warmth as if it had been Miss Crawford?s,
?you are all considerate thought! But it is unnecessary hereThe
time will louis vuitton duffle bag never comeNo such time as you allude to will ever come
I begin to think it most improbable: the chances grow less and less;
and even if it should, there will be nothing to be remembered by
either you or me that we need be afraid of, for I can never be ashamed
of my own scruples; and if they are removed, it must be by changes
that will only raise her character the more by the recollection of the

Mansfield Park
faults she once hadYou are the only being upon earth to whom I
should say what I have said; but you have always known my opinion
of her; you can bear me witness, Fanny, that I have never been
blindedHow many a time have we talked over her little errors! You
need not fear me; I have almost given up every serious idea of her;
but I must be a blockhead indeed, if, whatever befell me, I could
think of your kindness and sympathy without the sincerest gratitude
He had said enough to shake the experience of eighteenHe had
said enough to give Fanny some happier feelings than she had lately
known, and with a brighter look, she answered, ?Yes, cousin, I am
convinced that you would be incapable of anything else, though
perhaps some might notI cannot be afraid of hearing prada black bags anything you
wish to sayDo not check yourselfTell me whatever you like
They were now on the second floor, and the appearance of a housemaid
prevented any farther conversationFor Fanny?s present comfort
it was concluded, perhaps, at the happiest moment: had he
been able to talk another five minutes, there is no saying that he
might not have talked away all Miss Crawford?s faults and his own
despondenceBut as it was, they parted with looks on his side of
grateful affection, and with some very precious sensations on hers
She had felt nothing like it for hoursSince the first joy from Mr
Crawford?s note to William had worn away, she had been in a state
absolutely the reverse; there had been no comfort around, no hope
within herNow everything was smilingWilliam?s good fortune
returned again upon her mind, and seemed of greater value than at
firstThe ball, too?such an evening of pleasure before her! It was
now a real animation; and she began to dress for it with much of the
happy flutter which belongs to a ballAll went well: she did not
dislike her own looks; and when she came to the necklaces again,
her good fortune seemed complete, for upon trial the one given her
by Miss Crawford would by chanel costume jewelry no means go through the ring of the
crossShe had, to oblige Edmund, resolved to wear it; but it was too
large for the purposeHis, therefore, must be worn; and having,
with delightful feelings, joined the chain and the cross?those memorials
of the two most beloved of her heart, those dearest tokens
so formed for each other by everything real and imaginary?and
235
Jane Austen
put them round her neck, and seen and felt how full of William and
Edmund they were, she was able, without an effort, to resolve on
wearing Miss Crawford?s necklace tooShe acknowledged it to be
rightMiss Crawford had a claim; and when it was no longer to
encroach on, to interfere with the stronger claims, the truer kindness
of another, she could do her justice even with pleasure to herself
The necklace really looked very well; and Fanny left her room
at last, comfortably satisfied with herself and all about her
Her aunt Bertram had recollected her on this occasion with an
unusual degree of wakefulnessIt had really occurred to her, unprompted,
that Fanny, preparing for a ball, might be glad of better
help than the upper housemaid?s, and when dressed herself, she actually
sent her own maid to assist her; too chanel bags to buy late, of course, to be of
any useChapman had just reached the attic floor, when Miss
Price came out of her room completely dressed, and only civilities
were necessary; but Fanny felt her aunt?s attention almost as much
as Lady Bertram or MrsChapman could do themselves

CHAPTER XXVIII
HER UNCLE and both her aunts were in the drawing-room when
Fanny went downTo the former she was an interesting object, and
he saw with pleasure the general elegance of her appearance, and
her being in remarkably good looksThe neatness and propriety of
her dress was all that he would allow himself to commend in her
presence, but upon her leaving the room again soon afterwards, he
spoke of her beauty with very decided praise
?Yes,? said Lady Bertram, ?she looks very wellI sent Chapman to
her
?Look well! Oh, yes!? cried MrsNorris, ?she has good reason to
look well with all her advantages: brought up in this family as she
has been, with all the benefit of her cousins? manners before her

An excited stir ran
through the crowdThe horses were coming onto the track
Scarlett stared open-mouthed, eyes shiningNothing had prepared
her
for the smooth grass oval and the bright checkerboards and stripes
and
harlequin diamonds of the racing silksGaudy and shining and festive,
the riders paraded past the grandstand while the band played a
rollicking oom-pah tuneScarlett laughed aloud without knowing it
It was a child's laughter, free and unconsidered, expressing pure
joyful surprise
"Oh, look!" she said"Oh, look!" She was so enraptured that she was
unaware of Rhett's eyes watching her, instead of china mulberry the horses
There was an interval for refreshments after the third raceA tent
hung with green and white streamers sheltered long tables of food,
and
waiters circulated throughout the crowd bearing trays of
champagne-filled glassesScarlett took one of Emma Anson's glasses
from one of Sally Brewton's crested trays, pretending that she didn't

MrsButler first explained the charadeLending and borrowing she
could understandBut pretending that Emma Anson's initials belonged

along with the deception, if that was the term for itIt was just one
more of the peculiarities of Charleston
She turned quickly to the speaker"They'll be

"Does that earn me a cup of tea?" MrsFitzpatrick made a graceful
apology to Scarlett later that day, admitting that she had been too
hasty and too prejudiced
