101:003,00[U  ]| <MANSFIELD PARK.>
101:003,01['  ]| About$4$ thirty years ago, $MP#F$Miss*Maria*Ward of Huntingdon, 
101:003,02['  ]| with only seven thousand pounds, had the good luck 
101:003,03['  ]| to$9$ captivate $MP#E$Sir*Thomas*Bertram, of Mansfield*Park, in$4$ 
101:003,04['  ]| the county of Northampton, and to$9$ be thereby raised to$4$ 
101:003,05['  ]| the rank$0$ of a baronet's lady, with all the comforts and 
101:003,06['  ]| consequences of an handsome house and large income. 
101:003,07['  ]| All Huntingdon exclaimed on$4$ the greatness of the match$0$, 
101:003,08['  ]| and her uncle, the lawyer, himself, allowed her to$9$ be at 
101:003,09['  ]| least three thousand pounds short of any equitable claim$0$ 
101:003,10['  ]| to$4$ it. She had two sisters to$9$ be benefited by$4$ her elevation; 
101:003,11['  ]| and such of their acquaintance as thought$1$ $MP#J$Miss*Ward 
101:003,12['  ]| and $MP#P$Miss*Frances quite as handsome as $MP#F$Miss*Maria, 
101:003,13['  ]| did not scruple$1$ to$9$ predict their marrying with almost 
101:003,14['  ]| equal$2$ advantage. But there certainly are not so$5#1$ many 
101:003,15['  ]| men of large fortune in$4$ the world, as there are pretty$2$ 
101:003,16['  ]| women to$9$ deserve them. $MP#J$Miss*Ward, at the end$0$ of half 
101:003,17['  ]| a dozen years, found herself obliged to$9$ be attached to$4$ 
101:003,18['  ]| the $MP#ZY$Rev*Mr%*Norris, a friend of her brother-in-law, with 
101:003,19['  ]| scarcely any private$2$ fortune, and $MP#P$Miss*Frances fared yet 
101:003,20['  ]| worse. $MP#J$Miss*Ward's match$0$, indeed, when it came to$4$ the 
101:003,21['  ]| point$0$, was not contemptible, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas being$1$ happily 
101:003,22['  ]| able to$9$ give his friend an income in$4$ the living of Mansfield, 
101:003,23['  ]| and $MP#ZY$Mr% and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris began their career of conjugal 
101:003,24['  ]| felicity with very little less than a thousand a year. But 
101:003,25['  ]| $MP#P$Miss*Frances married, in$4$ the common$2$ phrase, to$9$ disoblige 
101:003,26['  ]| her family, and by$4$ fixing on$4$ a Lieutenant of Marines, 
101:003,27['  ]| without education, fortune, or connections, did it very 
101:003,28['  ]| thoroughly. She could hardly have made a more untoward 
101:003,29['  ]| choice$0$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas*Bertram had interest$0$, which$6#1$, from 
101:004,01['  ]| principle as well$5$ as pride, from a general$2$ wish$0$ of doing 
101:004,02['  ]| right$0$, and a desire$0$ of seeing all that$6#1$ were connected with 
101:004,03['  ]| him in$4$ situations of respectability, he would have been 
101:004,04['  ]| glad to$9$ exert for$4$ the advantage of $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's sister; 
101:004,05['  ]| but her husband's profession$0#2$ was such as no$2$ interest$0$ could 
101:004,06['  ]| reach$1$; and before$3$ he had time to$9$ devise any other method 
101:004,07['  ]| of assisting them, an absolute breach between the sisters 
101:004,08['  ]| had taken place$0$. It was the natural$2$ result$0$ of the conduct$0$ 
101:004,09['  ]| of each party, and such as a very imprudent marriage 
101:004,10['  ]| almost always produces. To$9$ save$1$ herself from useless 
101:004,11['  ]| remonstrance, $MP#P$Mrs%*Price never wrote to$4$ her family on$4$ 
101:004,12['  ]| the subject$0$ till actually married. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, who$6#1$ 
101:004,13['  ]| was a woman of very tranquil feelings, and a temper 
101:004,14['  ]| remarkably easy and indolent, would have contented herself 
101:004,15['  ]| with merely giving up$5$ her sister, and thinking no$2$ 
101:004,16['  ]| more of the matter: but $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had a spirit of 
101:004,17['  ]| activity, which$6#1$ could not be satisfied till she had written 
101:004,18['  ]| a long and angry letter to$4$ $MP#P$Fanny, to$9$ point$1$ out$5$ the folly 
101:004,19['  ]| of her conduct$0$, and threaten her with all its possible ill*consequences. 
101:004,20['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price in$4$ her turn$0$ was injured and 
101:004,21['  ]| angry; and an answer$0$ which$6#1$ comprehended each sister 
101:004,22['  ]| in$4$ its bitterness, and bestowed such very disrespectful 
101:004,23['  ]| reflections on$4$ the pride of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
101:004,24['  ]| could not possibly keep to$4$ herself, put an end$0$ to$4$ all intercourse 
101:004,25['  ]| between them for$4$ a considerable period. 
101:004,26['  ]| Their homes were so$5#1$ distant, and the circles in$4$ which$6#1$ 
101:004,27['  ]| they moved so$5#1$ distinct, as almost to$9$ preclude the means$0$ 
101:004,28['  ]| of ever hearing of each other's existence during the eleven 
101:004,29['  ]| following years, or at least to$9$ make$1$ it very wonderful to$4$ 
101:004,30['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, that$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris should ever have it in$4$ her 
101:004,31['  ]| power to$9$ tell them, as she now and then did in$4$ an angry 
101:004,32['  ]| voice, that$3$ $MP#P$Fanny had got another child. By$4$ the end$0$ of 
101:004,33['  ]| eleven years, however, $MP#P$Mrs%*Price could no$2$ longer afford 
101:004,34['  ]| to$9$ cherish pride or resentment, or to$9$ lose one connection 
101:004,35['  ]| that$6#1$ might possibly assist her. A large and still$5$ increasing 
101:004,36['  ]| family, an husband disabled for$4$ active service, but not 
101:004,37['  ]| the less equal$2$ to$4$ company and good liquor, and a very 
101:004,38['  ]| small income to$9$ supply$1$ their wants$0$, made her eager to$9$ 
101:005,01['  ]| regain the friends she had so$5#1$ carelessly sacrificed; and 
101:005,02['  ]| she addressed $MP#F$Lady*Bertram in$4$ a letter which$6#1$ spoke so$5#1$ 
101:005,03['  ]| much contrition and despondence, such a superfluity of 
101:005,04['  ]| children, and such a want$0$ of almost every*thing else, as 
101:005,05['  ]| could not but dispose them all to$4$ a reconciliation. She 
101:005,06['  ]| was preparing for$4$ her ninth lying-in, and after$4$ bewailing 
101:005,07['  ]| the circumstance, and imploring their countenance as 
101:005,08['  ]| sponsors to$4$ the expected child, she could not conceal how 
101:005,09['  ]| important she felt they might be to$4$ the future maintenance 
101:005,10['  ]| of the eight already in$4$ being$0$. 
101:005,10@p   | Her eldest was 
101:005,11@p   | a boy of ten years old, a fine spirited fellow who$6#1$ longed 
101:005,12@p   | to$9$ be out$5$ in$4$ the world; but what could she do? Was 
101:005,13@p   | there any chance$0$ of his being$1$ hereafter useful to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
101:005,14@p   | in$4$ the concerns$0$ of his West*Indian property? 
101:005,15@p   | No$2$ situation would be beneath him ~~ or what did $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
101:005,16@p   | think of Woolwich? or how could a boy be sent 
101:005,17@p   | out$5$ to$4$ the East? 
101:005,18['  ]| The letter was not unproductive. It re-established 
101:005,19['  ]| peace and kindness. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas sent friendly advice 
101:005,20['  ]| and professions, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram dispatched money and 
101:005,21['  ]| baby-linen, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris wrote the letters. 
101:005,22['  ]| Such were its immediate effects, and within a twelve-month 
101:005,23['  ]| a more important advantage to$4$ $MP#P$Mrs%*Price resulted 
101:005,24['  ]| from it. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was often observing to$4$ the others, 
101:005,25['  ]| that$3$ 
101:005,25@j   | she could not get her poor sister and her family out$5$ 
101:005,26@j   | of her head$0$, 
101:005,26['  ]| and that$3$ 
101:005,26@j   | much as they had all done for$4$ her, 
101:005,27@j   | she seemed to$9$ be wanting to$9$ do more: and at length 
101:005,28@j   | she could not but own$1$ it to$9$ be her wish$0$, that$3$ poor 
101:005,29@j   | $MP#P$Mrs%*Price should be relieved from the charge$0$ and expense 
101:005,30@j   | of one child entirely out$5$ of her great number. 
101:005,30[J  ]| "What 
101:005,31[J  ]| if they were among them to$9$ undertake the care$0$ of her 
101:005,32[J  ]| eldest daughter, a girl now nine years old, of an age to$9$ 
101:005,33[J  ]| require more attention than her poor mother could possibly 
101:005,34[J  ]| give? The trouble$0$ and expense of it to$4$ them, 
101:005,35[J  ]| would be nothing compared with the benevolence of the 
101:005,36[J  ]| action." 
101:005,36['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram agreed with her instantly. 
101:005,36[F  ]| "I 
101:005,37[F  ]| think we cannot do better," 
101:005,37['  ]| said she, 
101:005,37[F  ]| "let us send for$4$ 
101:005,38[F  ]| the child." 
101:006,01['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could not give so$5#1$ instantaneous and unqualified 
101:006,02['  ]| a consent$0$. He debated and hesitated; ~~ 
101:006,02@e   | it was 
101:006,03@e   | a serious$2$ charge$0$; ~~ a girl so$5#1$ brought up$5$ must be adequately 
101:006,04@e   | provided for$5$, or there would be cruelty instead of kindness 
101:006,05@e   | in$4$ taking her from her family. 
101:006,05@e   | He thought$1$ of his own$2$ 
101:006,06@e   | four children ~~ of his two sons ~~ of cousins in$4$ love$0$, &c%; ~~ 
101:006,07['  ]| but no$2$ sooner had he deliberately begun to$9$ state$1$ his 
101:006,08['  ]| objections, than $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris interrupted him with a reply$0$ 
101:006,09['  ]| to$4$ them all whether stated or not. 
101:006,10[J  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, I perfectly comprehend you, 
101:006,11[J  ]| and do justice to$4$ the generosity and delicacy of your 
101:006,12[J  ]| notions, which$6#1$ indeed are quite of a piece with your 
101:006,13[J  ]| general$2$ conduct$0$; and I entirely agree with you in$4$ the 
101:006,14[J  ]| main$0$ as to$4$ the propriety of doing every*thing one could 
101:006,15[J  ]| by$4$ way of providing for$4$ a child one had in$4$ a manner 
101:006,16[J  ]| taken into one's own$2$ hands; and I am sure I should 
101:006,17[J  ]| be the last$2$ person in$4$ the world to$9$ withhold my mite upon$4$ 
101:006,18[J  ]| such an occasion$0$. Having no$2$ children of my own$2$, who$6#1$ 
101:006,19[J  ]| should I look$1$ to$4$ in$4$ any little matter I may$1$ ever have to$9$ 
101:006,20[J  ]| bestow, but the children of my sisters? ~~ and I am sure 
101:006,21[J  ]| $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris is too$5#1$ just$2$ ~~ but you know I am a woman of 
101:006,22[J  ]| few words and professions. Do not let us be frightened 
101:006,23[J  ]| from a good deed by$4$ a trifle$0$. Give a girl an education, 
101:006,24[J  ]| and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to$4$ 
101:006,25[J  ]| one but she has the means$0$ of settling well$5$, without farther 
101:006,26[J  ]| expense to$4$ any*body. A niece of our's, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, I may$1$ 
101:006,27[J  ]| say, or, at least of \your's\, would not grow up$5$ in$4$ this 
101:006,28[J  ]| neighbourhood without many advantages. I don't say 
101:006,29[J  ]| she would be so$5#1$ handsome as her cousins. I dare$1#2$ say 
101:006,30[J  ]| she would not; but she would be introduced into the 
101:006,31[J  ]| society of this country under such very favourable circumstances 
101:006,32[J  ]| as, in$4$ all human probability, would get her 
101:006,33[J  ]| a creditable establishment. You are thinking of your 
101:006,34[J  ]| sons ~~ but do not you know that$3$ of all things upon$4$ earth 
101:006,35[J  ]| \that$6#2$\ is the least likely to$9$ happen; brought up$5$, as they 
101:006,36[J  ]| would be, always together like$4$ brothers and sisters? It 
101:006,37[J  ]| is morally impossible. I never knew an instance$0$ of it. 
101:006,38[J  ]| It is, in$4$ fact, the only sure way of providing against the 
101:007,01[J  ]| connection. Suppose her a pretty$2$ girl, and seen by$4$ $MP#G$Tom 
101:007,02[J  ]| or $MP#B$Edmund for$4$ the first time seven years hence, and 
101:007,03[J  ]| I dare$1#2$ say there would be mischief. The very idea of 
101:007,04[J  ]| her having been suffered to$9$ grow up$5$ at a distance$0$ from 
101:007,05[J  ]| us all in$4$ poverty and neglect$0$, would be enough to$9$ make$1$ 
101:007,06[J  ]| either of the dear$2#1$ sweet-tempered boys in$4$ love$0$ with her. 
101:007,07[J  ]| But breed her up$5$ with them from this time, and suppose 
101:007,08[J  ]| her even$5$ to$9$ have the beauty of an angel, and she will$1$ 
101:007,09[J  ]| never be more to$4$ either than a sister." 
101:007,10[E  ]| "There is a great deal$0$ of truth in$4$ what you say," 
101:007,11['  ]| replied $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
101:007,11[E  ]| "and far be it from me to$9$ throw$1$ 
101:007,12[E  ]| any fanciful impediment in$4$ the way of a plan which$6#1$ 
101:007,13[E  ]| would be so$5#1$ consistent with the relative situations of 
101:007,14[E  ]| each. I only meant to$9$ observe, that$3$ it ought not to$9$ be 
101:007,15[E  ]| lightly engaged in$5$, and that$3$ to$9$ make$1$ it really serviceable 
101:007,16[E  ]| to$4$ $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, and creditable to$4$ ourselves, we must secure$1$ 
101:007,17[E  ]| to$4$ the child, or consider ourselves engaged to$9$ secure$1$ to$4$ 
101:007,18[E  ]| her hereafter, as circumstances may$1$ arise, the provision 
101:007,19[E  ]| of a gentlewoman, if no$2$ such establishment should offer$1$ 
101:007,20[E  ]| as you are so$5#1$ sanguine in$4$ expecting." 
101:007,21[J  ]| "I thoroughly understand you," 
101:007,21['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris; 
101:007,22[J  ]| "you are every*thing that$6#1$ is generous and considerate, 
101:007,23[J  ]| and I am sure we shall never disagree on$4$ this point$0$. 
101:007,24[J  ]| Whatever I can do, as you well$5$ know, I am always ready 
101:007,25[J  ]| enough to$9$ do for$4$ the good of those I love$1$; and, though 
101:007,26[J  ]| I could never feel for$4$ this little girl the hundredth part$0$ 
101:007,27[J  ]| of the regard$0$ I bear$1$ your own$2$ dear$2#1$ children, nor consider 
101:007,28[J  ]| her, in$4$ any respect$0$, so$5#1$ much my own$2$, I should hate 
101:007,29[J  ]| myself if I were capable of neglecting her. Is not she 
101:007,30[J  ]| a sister's child? and could I bear$1$ to$9$ see her want$0$, while$3$ 
101:007,31[J  ]| I had a bit of bread to$9$ give her? My dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
101:007,32[J  ]| with all my faults I have a warm$2$ heart: and, poor as 
101:007,33[J  ]| I am, would rather deny myself the necessaries of life, 
101:007,34[J  ]| than do an ungenerous thing. So$3$, if you are not against 
101:007,35[J  ]| it, I will$1$ write to$4$ my poor sister to-morrow, and make$1$ 
101:007,36[J  ]| the proposal; and, as soon as matters are settled, \I\ will$1$ 
101:007,37[J  ]| engage to$9$ get the child to$4$ Mansfield; \you\ shall have no$2$ 
101:007,38[J  ]| trouble$0$ about$4$ it. My own$2$ trouble$0$, you know, I never 
101:008,01[J  ]| regard$1$. I will$1$ send $MP#ZZL$Nanny to$4$ London on$4$ purpose, and 
101:008,02[J  ]| she may$1$ have a bed at her cousin, the sadler's, and the 
101:008,03[J  ]| child be appointed to$9$ meet$1$ her there. They may$1$ easily 
101:008,04[J  ]| get her from Portsmouth to$4$ town by$4$ the coach, under 
101:008,05[J  ]| the care$0$ of any creditable person that$6#1$ may$1$ chance$1$ to$9$ be 
101:008,06[J  ]| going. I dare$1#2$ say there is always some reputable tradesman's 
101:008,07[J  ]| wife or other going up$5$." 
101:008,08['  ]| Except to$4$ the attack$0$ on$4$ $MP#ZZL$Nanny's cousin, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
101:008,09['  ]| no$2$ longer made any objection, and a more respectable 
101:008,10['  ]| though less economical rendezvous being$1$ accordingly substituted, 
101:008,11['  ]| every*thing was considered as settled, and the 
101:008,12['  ]| pleasures of so$5#1$ benevolent a scheme$0$ were already enjoyed. 
101:008,13['  ]| The division of gratifying sensations ought not, in$4$ strict 
101:008,14['  ]| justice, to$9$ have been equal$2$; for$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was fully 
101:008,15['  ]| resolved to$9$ be the real and consistent patron of the 
101:008,16['  ]| selected child, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had not the least intention 
101:008,17['  ]| of being$1$ at any expense whatever in$4$ her maintenance. 
101:008,18['  ]| As far as walking, talking, and contriving reached, she 
101:008,19['  ]| was thoroughly benevolent, and nobody knew better how 
101:008,20['  ]| to$9$ dictate$1$ liberality to$4$ others: but her love$0$ of money 
101:008,21['  ]| was equal$2$ to$4$ her love$0$ of directing, and she knew quite 
101:008,22['  ]| as well$5$ how to$9$ save$1$ her own$2$ as to$9$ spend that$6#2$ of her 
101:008,23['  ]| friends. Having married on$4$ a narrower income than 
101:008,24['  ]| she had been used to$9$ look$1$ forward$5$ to$4$, she had, from 
101:008,25['  ]| the first, fancied a very strict line of economy necessary; 
101:008,26['  ]| and what was begun as a matter of prudence, 
101:008,27['  ]| soon grew into a matter of choice$0$, as an object$0$ of 
101:008,28['  ]| that$6#2$ needful solicitude, which$6#1$ there were no$2$ children 
101:008,29['  ]| to$9$ supply$1$. Had there been a family to$9$ provide for$4$, 
101:008,30['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris might never have saved her money; but 
101:008,31['  ]| having no$2$ care$0$ of that$6#2$ kind$0$, there was nothing to$9$ impede 
101:008,32['  ]| her frugality, or lessen the comfort$0$ of making a yearly 
101:008,33['  ]| addition to$4$ an income which$6#1$ they had never lived up$5$ 
101:008,34['  ]| to$4$. Under this infatuating principle, counteracted by$4$ no$2$ 
101:008,35['  ]| real affection for$4$ her sister, it was impossible for$4$ her to$9$ 
101:008,36['  ]| aim$1$ at more than the credit$0$ of projecting and arranging 
101:008,37['  ]| so$5#1$ expensive a charity; though perhaps she might so$5#1$ 
101:008,38['  ]| little know herself, as to$9$ walk$1$ home to$4$ the Parsonage 
101:009,01['  ]| after$4$ this conversation, in$4$ the happy belief of being$1$ the 
101:009,02['  ]| most liberal-minded sister and aunt in$4$ the world. 
101:009,03['  ]| When the subject$0$ was brought forward$5$ again, her views 
101:009,04['  ]| were more fully explained; and, in$4$ reply$0$ to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
101:009,05['  ]| calm$2$ inquiry of 
101:009,05[F  ]| "Where shall the child come to$4$ 
101:009,06[F  ]| first, sister, to$4$ you or to$4$ us?" 
101:009,06['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas heard, with 
101:009,07['  ]| some surprise$0$, that$3$ it would be totally out$5$ of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's 
101:009,08['  ]| power to$9$ take any share$0$ in$4$ the personal charge$0$ of her. 
101:009,09['  ]| He had been considering her as a particularly welcome$2$ 
101:009,10['  ]| addition at the Parsonage, as a desirable companion to$4$ 
101:009,11['  ]| an aunt who$6#1$ had no$2$ children of her own$2$; but he found 
101:009,12['  ]| himself wholly mistaken. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was sorry to$9$ say, 
101:009,13['  ]| that$3$ 
101:009,13@j   | the little girl's staying with them, at least as things 
101:009,14@j   | then were, was quite out$5$ of the question$0$. Poor $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris's 
101:009,15@j   | indifferent state$0$ of health made it an impossibility: he 
101:009,16@j   | could no$2$ more bear$1$ the noise of a child than he could 
101:009,17@j   | fly$1$; if indeed he should ever get well$5$ of his gouty complaints, 
101:009,18@j   | it would be a different matter: she should then 
101:009,19@j   | be glad to$9$ take her turn$0$, and think nothing of the inconvenience; 
101:009,20@j   | but just$5$ now, poor $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris took up$5$ every 
101:009,21@j   | moment of her time, and the very mention$0$ of such 
101:009,22@j   | a thing she was sure would distract him. 
101:009,23[F  ]| "Then she had better come to$4$ us," 
101:009,23['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
101:009,24['  ]| with the utmost composure. After$4$ a short pause$0$, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
101:009,25['  ]| added with dignity, 
101:009,25[E  ]| "Yes, let her home be in$4$ 
101:009,26[E  ]| this house. We will$1$ endeavour$1$ to$9$ do our duty by$4$ her, 
101:009,27[E  ]| and she will$1$ at least have the advantage of companions 
101:009,28[E  ]| of her own$2$ age, and of a regular instructress." 
101:009,29[J  ]| "Very true," 
101:009,29['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
101:009,29[J  ]| "which$6#1$ are both very 
101:009,30[J  ]| important considerations: and it will$1$ be just$5$ the same 
101:009,31[J  ]| to$4$ $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee, whether she has three girls to$9$ teach, or only 
101:009,32[J  ]| two ~~ there can be no$2$ difference. I only wish$1$ I could be 
101:009,33[J  ]| more useful; but you see I do all in$4$ my power. I am 
101:009,34[J  ]| not one of those that$6#1$ spare$1$ their own$2$ trouble$0$; and 
101:009,35[J  ]| $MP#ZZL$Nanny shall fetch her, however it may$1$ put me to$4$ inconvenience 
101:009,36[J  ]| to$9$ have my chief counsellor away for$4$ three days. 
101:009,37[J  ]| I suppose, sister, you will$1$ put the child in$4$ the little white 
101:009,38[J  ]| attic, near$4$ the old nurseries. It will$1$ be much the best 
101:010,01[J  ]| place$0$ for$4$ her, so$5#1$ near$4$ $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee, and not far from the 
101:010,02[J  ]| girls, and close$5$ by$4$ the housemaids, who$6#1$ could either of 
101:010,03[J  ]| them help$1$ dress$1$ her you know, and take care$0$ of her 
101:010,04[J  ]| clothes, for$3$ I suppose you would not think it fair to$9$ 
101:010,05[J  ]| expect $MP#ZZL$Ellis to$9$ wait on$4$ her as well$5$ as the others. Indeed, 
101:010,06[J  ]| I do not see that$3$ you could possibly place$1$ her any*where 
101:010,07[J  ]| else." 
101:010,08['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram made no$2$ opposition. 
101:010,09[J  ]| "I hope$1$ she will$1$ prove a well-disposed girl," 
101:010,09['  ]| continued 
101:010,10['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
101:010,10[J  ]| "and be sensible$2#1$ of her uncommon good 
101:010,11[J  ]| fortune in$4$ having such friends." 
101:010,12[E  ]| "Should her disposition be really bad," 
101:010,12['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
101:010,13[E  ]| "we must not, for$4$ our own$2$ children's sake, continue her 
101:010,14[E  ]| in$4$ the family; but there is no$2$ reason$0$ to$9$ expect so$5#1$ great 
101:010,15[E  ]| an evil. We shall probably see much to$9$ wish$1$ altered in$4$ 
101:010,16[E  ]| her, and must prepare ourselves for$4$ gross ignorance, some 
101:010,17[E  ]| meanness of opinions, and very distressing vulgarity of 
101:010,18[E  ]| manner; but these are not incurable faults ~~ nor, I trust$1$, 
101:010,19[E  ]| can they be dangerous for$4$ her associates$0$. Had my 
101:010,20[E  ]| daughters been \younger\ than herself, I should have considered 
101:010,21[E  ]| the introduction of such a companion, as a matter 
101:010,22[E  ]| of very serious$2$ moment; but as it is, I hope$1$ there can 
101:010,23[E  ]| be nothing to$9$ fear$1$ for$4$ \them\, and every*thing to$9$ hope$1$ for$4$ 
101:010,24[E  ]| \her\, from the association." 
101:010,25[J  ]| "That$6#2$ is exactly what I think," 
101:010,25['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
101:010,26[J  ]| "and what I was saying to$4$ my husband this morning. 
101:010,27[J  ]| It will$1$ be an education for$4$ the child said I, only being$1$ 
101:010,28[J  ]| with her cousins; if $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee taught her nothing, she 
101:010,29[J  ]| would learn to$9$ be good and clever from \them\." 
101:010,30[F  ]| "I hope$1$ she will$1$ not tease my poor pug," 
101:010,30['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
101:010,31[F  ]| "I have but just$5$ got $MP#I$Julia to$9$ leave$1$ it alone." 
101:010,32[E  ]| "There will$1$ be some difficulty in$4$ our way, $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris," 
101:010,33['  ]| observed $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
101:010,33[E  ]| "as to$4$ the distinction proper to$9$ be 
101:010,34[E  ]| made between the girls as they grow up$5$; how to$9$ preserve 
101:010,35[E  ]| in$4$ the minds of my \daughters\ the consciousness of what 
101:010,36[E  ]| they are, without making them think too$5#1$ lowly of their 
101:010,37[E  ]| cousin; and how, without depressing her spirits too$5#1$ far, 
101:010,38[E  ]| to$9$ make$1$ her remember that$3$ she is not a \$MP#H$Miss*Bertram\. 
101:011,01[E  ]| I should wish$1$ to$9$ see them very good friends, and would, 
101:011,02[E  ]| on$4$ no$2$ account$0$, authorize in$4$ my girls the smallest degree 
101:011,03[E  ]| of arrogance towards their relation; but still$5$ they cannot 
101:011,04[E  ]| be equals. Their rank$0$, fortune, rights, and expectations, 
101:011,05[E  ]| will$1$ always be different. It is a point$0$ of great delicacy, 
101:011,06[E  ]| and you must assist us in$4$ our endeavours$0$ to$9$ choose exactly 
101:011,07[E  ]| the right$2#1$ line of conduct$0$." 
101:011,08['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was quite at his service; and though she 
101:011,09['  ]| perfectly agreed with him as to$4$ its being$1$ a most difficult 
101:011,10['  ]| thing, encouraged him to$9$ hope$1$ that$3$ between them it 
101:011,11['  ]| would be easily managed. 
101:011,12['  ]| It will$1$ be readily believed that$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris did not 
101:011,13['  ]| write to$4$ her sister in$4$ vain. $MP#P$Mrs%*Price seemed 
101:011,13@p   | rather 
101:011,14@p   | surprised that$3$ a girl should be fixed on$5$, when she had 
101:011,15@p   | so$5#1$ many fine boys, but accepted the offer$0$ most thankfully, 
101:011,16@p   | assuring them of her daughter's being$1$ a very well-disposed, 
101:011,17@p   | good-humoured girl, and trusting they would 
101:011,18@p   | never have cause to$9$ throw$1$ her off. 
101:011,18['  ]| She spoke of her 
101:011,19['  ]| farther as 
101:011,19@p   | somewhat delicate and puny, but was sanguine 
101:011,20@p   | in$4$ the hope$0$ of her being$1$ materially better for$4$ change$0$ of 
101:011,21@p   | air. 
101:011,21['  ]| Poor woman! she probably thought$1$ change$0$ of air 
101:011,22['  ]| might agree with many of her children. 
102:012,01['  ]| The little girl performed her long journey in$4$ safety, 
102:012,02['  ]| and at Northampton was met by$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ thus 
102:012,03['  ]| regaled in$4$ the credit$0$ of being$1$ foremost to$9$ welcome$1$ her, 
102:012,04['  ]| and in$4$ the importance of leading her in$5$ to$4$ the others, 
102:012,05['  ]| and recommending her to$4$ their kindness. 
102:012,06['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny*Price was at this time just$5$ ten years old, and 
102:012,07['  ]| though there might not be much in$4$ her first appearance 
102:012,08['  ]| to$9$ captivate, there was, at least, nothing to$9$ disgust$1$ her 
102:012,09['  ]| relations. She was small of her age, with no$2$ glow of 
102:012,10['  ]| complexion, nor any other striking beauty; exceedingly 
102:012,11['  ]| timid and shy, and shrinking from notice$0$; but her air, 
102:012,12['  ]| though awkward, was not vulgar, her voice was sweet, 
102:012,13['  ]| and when she spoke, her countenance was pretty$2$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
102:012,14['  ]| and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram received her very kindly, and 
102:012,15['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas seeing how much she needed encouragement, 
102:012,16['  ]| tried to$9$ be all that$6#1$ was conciliating; but he had to$9$ work$1$ 
102:012,17['  ]| against a most untoward gravity of deportment ~~ and 
102:012,18['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, without taking half so$5#1$ much trouble$0$, or 
102:012,19['  ]| speaking one word where he spoke ten, by$4$ the mere aid 
102:012,20['  ]| of a good-humoured smile$0$, became immediately the less 
102:012,21['  ]| awful character of the two. 
102:012,22['  ]| The young people were all at home, and sustained their 
102:012,23['  ]| share$0$ in$4$ the introduction very well$5$, with much good*humour, 
102:012,24['  ]| and no$2$ embarrassment, at least on$4$ the part$0$ of 
102:012,25['  ]| the sons, who$6#1$ at seventeen and sixteen, and tall of their 
102:012,26['  ]| age, had all the grandeur of men in$4$ the eyes of their 
102:012,27['  ]| little cousin. The two girls were more at a loss from 
102:012,28['  ]| being$1$ younger and in$4$ greater awe of their father, who$6#1$ 
102:012,29['  ]| addressed them on$4$ the occasion$0$ with rather an injudicious 
102:012,30['  ]| particularity. But they were too$5#1$ much used to$4$ company 
102:012,31['  ]| and praise$0$, to$9$ have any*thing like$4$ natural$2$ shyness, and 
102:012,32['  ]| their confidence increasing from their cousin's total want$0$ 
102:013,01['  ]| of it, they were soon able to$9$ take a full survey of her face$0$ 
102:013,02['  ]| and her frock in$4$ easy indifference. 
102:013,03['  ]| They were a remarkably fine family, the sons very 
102:013,04['  ]| well-looking, the daughters decidedly handsome, and all 
102:013,05['  ]| of them well-grown and forward$5$ of their age, which$6#1$ produced 
102:013,06['  ]| as striking a difference between the cousins in$4$ 
102:013,07['  ]| person, as education had given to$4$ their address$0$; and no*one 
102:013,08['  ]| would have supposed the girls so$5#1$ nearly of an age 
102:013,09['  ]| as they really were. There was in$4$ fact two years 
102:013,10['  ]| between the youngest and $MP#A$Fanny. $MP#I$Julia*Bertram was 
102:013,11['  ]| only twelve, and $MP#H$Maria but a year older. The little 
102:013,12['  ]| visitor meanwhile was as unhappy as possible. Afraid 
102:013,13['  ]| of every*body, ashamed of herself, and longing for$4$ the 
102:013,14['  ]| home she had left, she knew not how to$9$ look$1$ up$5$, and 
102:013,15['  ]| could scarcely speak to$9$ be heard, or without crying. 
102:013,16['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had been talking to$4$ her the whole$2$ way from 
102:013,17['  ]| Northampton of her wonderful good fortune, and the 
102:013,18['  ]| extraordinary degree of gratitude and good behaviour 
102:013,19['  ]| which$6#1$ it ought to$9$ produce, and her consciousness of 
102:013,20['  ]| misery was therefore increased by$4$ the idea of its being$1$ 
102:013,21['  ]| a wicked thing for$4$ her not to$9$ be happy. The fatigue$0$ 
102:013,22['  ]| too$5#2$, of so$5#1$ long a journey, became soon no$2$ trifling evil. 
102:013,23['  ]| In$4$ vain were the well-meant condescensions of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
102:013,24['  ]| and all the officious prognostications of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris that$3$ 
102:013,25['  ]| she would be a good girl; in$4$ vain did $MP#F$Lady*Bertram smile$1$ 
102:013,26['  ]| and make$1$ her sit on$4$ the sofa with herself and pug, and 
102:013,27['  ]| vain was even$5$ the sight of a gooseberry tart towards 
102:013,28['  ]| giving her comfort$0$; she could scarcely swallow two 
102:013,29['  ]| mouthfuls before$3$ tears interrupted her, and sleep$0$ seeming 
102:013,30['  ]| to$9$ be her likeliest friend, she was taken to$9$ finish$1$ her 
102:013,31['  ]| sorrows in$4$ bed. 
102:013,32[J  ]| "This is not a very promising beginning," 
102:013,32['  ]| said $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
102:013,33['  ]| when $MP#A$Fanny had left the room. ~~ 
102:013,33[J  ]| "After$4$ all that$6#1$ 
102:013,34[J  ]| I said to$4$ her as we came along$5$, I thought$1$ she would have 
102:013,35[J  ]| behaved better; I told her how much might depend upon$4$ 
102:013,36[J  ]| her acquitting herself well$5$ at first. I wish$1$ there may$1$ not 
102:013,37[J  ]| be a little sulkiness of temper ~~ her poor mother had 
102:013,38[J  ]| a good deal$0$; but we must make$1$ allowances for$4$ such 
102:014,01[J  ]| a child ~~ and I do not know that$3$ her being$1$ sorry to$9$ leave$1$ 
102:014,02[J  ]| her home is really against her, for$3$, with all its faults, it 
102:014,03[J  ]| \was\ her home, and she cannot as yet understand how much 
102:014,04[J  ]| she has changed for$4$ the better; but then there is moderation 
102:014,05[J  ]| in$4$ all things." 
102:014,06['  ]| It required a longer time, however, than $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
102:014,07['  ]| was inclined to$9$ allow, to$9$ reconcile $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ the novelty 
102:014,08['  ]| of Mansfield*Park, and the separation from every*body 
102:014,09['  ]| she had been used to$4$. Her feelings were very acute, and 
102:014,10['  ]| too$5#1$ little understood to$9$ be properly attended to$5$. Nobody 
102:014,11['  ]| meant to$9$ be unkind, but nobody put themselves out$5$ of 
102:014,12['  ]| their way to$9$ secure$1$ her comfort$0$. 
102:014,13['  ]| The holiday allowed to$4$ the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams the next 
102:014,14['  ]| day on$4$ purpose to$9$ afford leisure for$4$ getting acquainted 
102:014,15['  ]| with, and entertaining their young cousin, produced little 
102:014,16['  ]| union. They could not but hold$1$ her cheap on$4$ finding 
102:014,17['  ]| that$3$ she had but two sashes, and had never learnt French; 
102:014,18['  ]| and when they perceived her to$9$ be little struck with the 
102:014,19['  ]| duet they were so$5#1$ good as to$9$ play$1$, they could do no$2$ more 
102:014,20['  ]| than make$1$ her a generous present$0#2$ of some of their least 
102:014,21['  ]| valued toys, and leave$1$ her to$4$ herself, while$3$ they adjourned 
102:014,22['  ]| to$4$ whatever might be the favourite$2$ holiday sport$0$ of the 
102:014,23['  ]| moment, making artificial flowers or wasting gold paper. 
102:014,24['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, whether near$4$ or from her cousins, whether in$4$ 
102:014,25['  ]| the school-room, the drawing-room, or the shrubbery, was 
102:014,26['  ]| equally forlorn, finding something to$9$ fear$1$ in$4$ every person 
102:014,27['  ]| and place$0$. She was disheartened by$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
102:014,28['  ]| silence$0$, awed by$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's grave$2$ looks$0$, and quite 
102:014,29['  ]| overcome by$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's admonitions. Her elder cousins 
102:014,30['  ]| mortified her by$4$ reflections on$4$ her size, and abashed her 
102:014,31['  ]| by$4$ noticing her shyness; $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee wondered at her 
102:014,32['  ]| ignorance, and the maid-servants sneered at her clothes; 
102:014,33['  ]| and when to$4$ these sorrows was added the idea of the 
102:014,34['  ]| brothers and sisters among whom$6#1$ she had always been 
102:014,35['  ]| important as play-fellow, instructress, and nurse$0$, the 
102:014,36['  ]| despondence that$6#1$ sunk her little heart was severe. 
102:014,37['  ]| The grandeur of the house astonished, but could not 
102:014,38['  ]| console her. The rooms were too$5#1$ large for$4$ her to$9$ move$1$ 
102:015,01['  ]| in$4$ with ease$0$; whatever she touched she expected to$9$ 
102:015,02['  ]| injure, and she crept about$5$ in$4$ constant terror of something 
102:015,03['  ]| or other; often retreating towards her own$2$ chamber to$9$ 
102:015,04['  ]| cry$1$; and the little girl who$6#1$ was spoken of in$4$ the drawing-room 
102:015,05['  ]| when she left it at night, as seeming so$5#1$ desirably 
102:015,06['  ]| sensible$2#1$ of her peculiar good fortune, ended every day's 
102:015,07['  ]| sorrows by$4$ sobbing herself to$4$ sleep$0$. A week had passed 
102:015,08['  ]| in$4$ this way, and no$2$ suspicion of it conveyed by$4$ her quiet$2$ 
102:015,09['  ]| passive manner, when she was found one morning by$4$ her 
102:015,10['  ]| cousin $MP#B$Edmund, the youngest of the sons, sitting crying 
102:015,11['  ]| on$4$ the attic stairs. 
102:015,12[B  ]| "My dear$2#1$ little cousin," 
102:015,12['  ]| said he with all the gentleness 
102:015,13['  ]| of an excellent nature, 
102:015,13[B  ]| "what can be the matter?" 
102:015,13['  ]| And 
102:015,14['  ]| sitting down$5$ by$4$ her, was at great pains to$9$ overcome her 
102:015,15['  ]| shame$0$ in$4$ being$1$ so$5#1$ surprised, and persuade her to$9$ speak 
102:015,16['  ]| openly. 
102:015,16[B  ]| "Was she ill? or was any*body angry with 
102:015,17[B  ]| her? or had she quarrelled with $MP#H$Maria and $MP#I$Julia? or 
102:015,18[B  ]| was she puzzled about$4$ any*thing in$4$ her lesson that$6#1$ he 
102:015,19[B  ]| could explain? Did she, in$4$ short, want$1$ any*thing he 
102:015,20[B  ]| could possibly get her, or do for$4$ her?" 
102:015,20['  ]| For$4$ a long while$0$ 
102:015,21['  ]| no$2$ answer$0$ could be obtained beyond$4$ a 
102:015,21[A  ]| "no$7$, no$7$ ~~ not at 
102:015,22[A  ]| all ~~ no$7$, thank you;" 
102:015,22['  ]| but he still$5$ persevered, and no$2$ 
102:015,23['  ]| sooner had he begun to$9$ revert to$4$ her own$2$ home, than 
102:015,24['  ]| her increased sobs explained to$4$ him where the grievance 
102:015,25['  ]| lay$1#2$. He tried to$9$ console her. 
102:015,26[B  ]| "You are sorry to$9$ leave$1$ Mamma, my dear$2#1$ little $MP#A$Fanny," 
102:015,27['  ]| said he, 
102:015,27[B  ]| "which$6#1$ shows$1$ you to$9$ be a very good girl; but 
102:015,28[B  ]| you must remember that$3$ you are with relations and 
102:015,29[B  ]| friends, who$6#1$ all love$1$ you, and wish$1$ to$9$ make$1$ you happy. 
102:015,30[B  ]| Let us walk$1$ out$5$ in$4$ the park, and you shall tell me all 
102:015,31[B  ]| about$4$ your brothers and sisters." 
102:015,32['  ]| On$4$ pursuing the subject$0$, he found that$3$ dear$2#1$ as all 
102:015,33['  ]| these brothers and sisters generally were, there was one 
102:015,34['  ]| among them who$6#1$ ran more in$4$ her thoughts than the rest$0#1$. 
102:015,35['  ]| It was $MP#Q$William whom$6#1$ she talked of most and wanted 
102:015,36['  ]| most to$9$ see. $MP#Q$William, the eldest, a year older than herself, 
102:015,37['  ]| her constant companion and friend; her advocate with 
102:015,38['  ]| her mother (of whom$6#1$ he was the darling) in$4$ every distress$0$. 
102:016,01[A  ]| "$MP#Q$William did not like$1$ she should come away ~~ he had 
102:016,02[A  ]| told her he should miss her very much indeed." 
102:016,02[B  ]| "But 
102:016,03[B  ]| $MP#Q$William will$1$ write to$4$ you, I dare$1#2$ say." 
102:016,03[A  ]| "Yes, he had 
102:016,04[A  ]| promised he would, but he had told \her\ to$9$ write first." 
102:016,05[B  ]| "And when shall you do it?" 
102:016,05['  ]| She hung her head$0$ and 
102:016,06['  ]| answered, hesitatingly, 
102:016,06[A  ]| "she did not know; she had not 
102:016,07[A  ]| any paper." 
102:016,08[B  ]| "If that$6#2$ be all your difficulty, I will$1$ furnish you with 
102:016,09[B  ]| paper and every other material$0$, and you may$1$ write your 
102:016,10[B  ]| letter whenever you choose. Would it make$1$ you happy 
102:016,11[B  ]| to$9$ write to$4$ $MP#Q$William?" 
102:016,12[A  ]| "Yes, very." 
102:016,13[B  ]| "Then let it be done now. Come with me into the 
102:016,14[B  ]| breakfast*room, we shall find every*thing there, and be 
102:016,15[B  ]| sure of having the room to$4$ ourselves." 
102:016,16[A  ]| "But cousin ~~ will$1$ it go to$4$ the post?" 
102:016,17[B  ]| "Yes, depend upon$4$ me it shall; it shall go with the 
102:016,18[B  ]| other letters; and as your uncle will$1$ frank$1$ it, it will$1$ cost$1$ 
102:016,19[B  ]| $MP#Q$William nothing." 
102:016,20[A  ]| "My uncle!" 
102:016,20['  ]| repeated $MP#A$Fanny with a frightened look$0$. 
102:016,21[B  ]| "Yes, when you have written the letter, I will$1$ take it 
102:016,22[B  ]| to$4$ my father to$9$ frank$1$." 
102:016,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny thought$1$ it a bold measure$0$, but offered no$2$ farther 
102:016,24['  ]| resistance; and they went together into the breakfast-room, 
102:016,25['  ]| where $MP#B$Edmund prepared her paper, and ruled her 
102:016,26['  ]| lines with all the good*will that$6#1$ her brother could himself 
102:016,27['  ]| have felt, and probably with somewhat more exactness. 
102:016,28['  ]| He continued with her the whole$2$ time of her writing, 
102:016,29['  ]| to$9$ assist her with his penknife or his orthography, as 
102:016,30['  ]| either were wanted; and added to$4$ these attentions, which$6#1$ 
102:016,31['  ]| she felt very much, a kindness to$4$ her brother, which$6#1$ 
102:016,32['  ]| delighted her beyond$4$ all the rest$0#1$. He wrote with his 
102:016,33['  ]| own$2$ hand$0$ his love$0$ to$4$ his cousin $MP#Q$William, and sent him 
102:016,34['  ]| half a guinea under the seal. $MP#A$Fanny's feelings on$4$ the 
102:016,35['  ]| occasion$0$ were such as she believed herself incapable of 
102:016,36['  ]| expressing; but her countenance and a few artless words 
102:016,37['  ]| fully conveyed all their gratitude and delight$0$, and her 
102:016,38['  ]| cousin began to$9$ find her an interesting object$0$. He talked 
102:017,01['  ]| to$4$ her more, and from all that$6#1$ she said, was convinced 
102:017,02['  ]| of her having an affectionate heart, and a strong desire$0$ 
102:017,03['  ]| of doing right$0$; and he could perceive her to$9$ be farther 
102:017,04['  ]| entitled to$4$ attention, by$4$ great sensibility of her situation, 
102:017,05['  ]| and great timidity. He had never knowingly given her 
102:017,06['  ]| pain$0$, but he now felt that$3$ she required more positive 
102:017,07['  ]| kindness, and with that$6#2$ view$0$ endeavoured, in$4$ the first 
102:017,08['  ]| place$0$, to$9$ lessen her fears of them all, and gave her 
102:017,09['  ]| especially a great deal$0$ of good advice as to$4$ playing with 
102:017,10['  ]| $MP#H$Maria and $MP#I$Julia, and being$1$ as merry as possible. 
102:017,11['  ]| From this day $MP#A$Fanny grew more comfortable. She felt 
102:017,12['  ]| that$3$ she had a friend, and the kindness of her cousin 
102:017,13['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund gave her better spirits with every*body else. 
102:017,14['  ]| The place$0$ became less strange, and the people less formidable; 
102:017,15['  ]| and if there were some amongst them whom$6#1$ 
102:017,16['  ]| she could not cease to$9$ fear$1$, she began at least to$9$ know 
102:017,17['  ]| their ways, and to$9$ catch$1$ the best manner of conforming 
102:017,18['  ]| to$4$ them. The little rusticities and awkwardnesses which$6#1$ 
102:017,19['  ]| had at first made grievous inroads on$4$ the tranquillity of 
102:017,20['  ]| all, and not least of herself, necessarily wore away, and 
102:017,21['  ]| she was no$2$ longer materially afraid to$9$ appear before$4$ her 
102:017,22['  ]| uncle, nor did her aunt $MP#J$Norris's voice make$1$ her start$1$ very 
102:017,23['  ]| much. To$4$ her cousins she became occasionally an acceptable 
102:017,24['  ]| companion. Though unworthy, from inferiority of 
102:017,25['  ]| age and strength, to$9$ be their constant associate$0$, their 
102:017,26['  ]| pleasures and schemes were sometimes of a nature to$9$ 
102:017,27['  ]| make$1$ a third very useful, especially when that$6#2$ third was 
102:017,28['  ]| of an obliging, yielding temper; and they could not but 
102:017,29['  ]| own$1$, when their aunt inquired into her faults, or their 
102:017,30['  ]| brother $MP#B$Edmund urged her claims to$4$ their kindness, that$3$ 
102:017,31[Y  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny was good-natured enough." 
102:017,32['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was uniformly kind$2$ himself, and she had 
102:017,33['  ]| nothing worse to$9$ endure on$4$ the part$0$ of $MP#G$Tom, than that$6#2$ 
102:017,34['  ]| sort of merriment which$6#1$ a young man of seventeen will$1$ 
102:017,35['  ]| always think fair with a child of ten. He was just$5$ entering 
102:017,36['  ]| into life, full of spirits, and with all the liberal dispositions 
102:017,37['  ]| of an eldest son, who$6#1$ feels born$1#1$ only for$4$ expense and 
102:017,38['  ]| enjoyment. His kindness to$4$ his little cousin was consistent 
102:018,01['  ]| with his situation and rights; he made her some 
102:018,02['  ]| very pretty$2$ presents$0$, and laughed at her. 
102:018,03['  ]| As her appearance and spirits improved, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
102:018,04['  ]| and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris thought$1$ with greater satisfaction of their 
102:018,05['  ]| benevolent plan; and it was pretty$5$ soon decided between 
102:018,06['  ]| them, that$3$ though far from clever, she showed a tractable 
102:018,07['  ]| disposition, and seemed likely to$9$ give them little trouble$0$. 
102:018,08['  ]| A mean$2$ opinion of her abilities was not confined to$4$ \them\. 
102:018,09['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could read, work$1$, and write, but she had been 
102:018,10['  ]| taught nothing more; and as her cousins found her 
102:018,11['  ]| ignorant of many things with which$6#1$ they had been long 
102:018,12['  ]| familiar, they thought$1$ her 
102:018,12@y   | prodigiously stupid, 
102:018,12['  ]| and for$4$ 
102:018,13['  ]| the first two or three weeks were continually bringing 
102:018,14['  ]| some fresh report$0$ of it into the drawing-room. 
102:018,14[Y  ]| "Dear$2#1$ 
102:018,15[Y  ]| Mamma, only think, my cousin cannot put the map of 
102:018,16[Y  ]| Europe together ~~ or my cousin cannot tell the principal$2$ 
102:018,17[Y  ]| rivers of Russia ~~ or she never heard of Asia*Minor ~~ or 
102:018,18[Y  ]| she does not know the difference between water-colours 
102:018,19[Y  ]| and crayons! ~~ How strange! ~~ Did you ever hear any*thing 
102:018,20[Y  ]| so$5#1$ stupid?" 
102:018,21[J  ]| "My dear$2#1$," 
102:018,21['  ]| their considerate aunt would reply$1$; 
102:018,21[J  ]| "it 
102:018,22[J  ]| is very bad, but you must not expect every*body to$9$ be 
102:018,23[J  ]| as forward$2$ and quick$2$ at learning as yourself." 
102:018,24[H  ]| "But, aunt, she is really so$5#1$ very ignorant! ~~ Do you 
102:018,25[H  ]| know, we asked her last$2$ night, which$6#1$ way she would go 
102:018,26[H  ]| to$9$ get to$4$ Ireland; and she said, she should cross$1$ to$4$ the 
102:018,27[H  ]| Isle*of*Wight. She thinks of nothing but the Isle*of*Wight, 
102:018,28[H  ]| and she calls$1$ it \the\ \Island\, as if there were no$2$ 
102:018,29[H  ]| other island in$4$ the world. I am sure I should have been 
102:018,30[H  ]| ashamed of myself, if I had not known better long before$3$ 
102:018,31[H  ]| I was so$5#1$ old as she is. I cannot remember the time when 
102:018,32[H  ]| I did not know a great deal$0$ that$6#1$ she has not the least 
102:018,33[H  ]| notion of yet. How long ago it is, aunt, since we used 
102:018,34[H  ]| to$9$ repeat the chronological order of the kings of England, 
102:018,35[H  ]| with the dates of their accession, and most of the principal$2$ 
102:018,36[H  ]| events of their reigns!" 
102:018,37[I  ]| "Yes," 
102:018,37['  ]| added the other; 
102:018,37[I  ]| "and of the Roman emperors 
102:018,38[I  ]| as low as $MP#Z1$Severus; besides a great deal$0$ of the Heathen 
102:019,01[I  ]| Mythology, and all the Metals, Semi-Metals, Planets, and 
102:019,02[I  ]| distinguished philosophers." 
102:019,03[J  ]| "Very true, indeed, my dears, but you are blessed with 
102:019,04[J  ]| wonderful memories, and your poor cousin has probably 
102:019,05[J  ]| none at all. There is a vast deal$0$ of difference in$4$ memories, 
102:019,06[J  ]| as well$5$ as in$4$ every*thing else, and therefore you must 
102:019,07[J  ]| make$1$ allowance for$4$ your cousin, and pity$1$ her deficiency. 
102:019,08[J  ]| And remember that$3$, if you are ever so$5#1$ forward$2$ and clever 
102:019,09[J  ]| yourselves, you should always be modest; for$3$, much as 
102:019,10[J  ]| you know already, there is a great deal$0$ more for$4$ you to$9$ 
102:019,11[J  ]| learn." 
102:019,12[H  ]| "Yes, I know there is, till I am seventeen. But I must 
102:019,13[H  ]| tell you another thing of $MP#A$Fanny, so$5#1$ odd and so$5#1$ stupid. 
102:019,14[H  ]| Do you know, she says she does not want$1$ to$9$ learn either 
102:019,15[H  ]| music or drawing." 
102:019,16[J  ]| "To$9$ be sure, my dear$2#1$, that$6#2$ is very stupid indeed, and 
102:019,17[J  ]| shows$1$ a great want$0$ of genius and emulation. But all 
102:019,18[J  ]| things considered, I do not know whether it is not as 
102:019,19[J  ]| well$5$ that$3$ it should be so$5#2$, for$3$, though you know (owing 
102:019,20[J  ]| to$4$ me) your papa and mamma are so$5#1$ good as to$9$ bring 
102:019,21[J  ]| her up$5$ with you, it is not at all necessary that$3$ she should 
102:019,22[J  ]| be as accomplished as you are; ~~ on$4$ the contrary, it is 
102:019,23[J  ]| much more desirable that$3$ there should be a difference." 
102:019,24['  ]| Such were the counsels by$4$ which$6#1$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris assisted 
102:019,25['  ]| to$9$ form$1$ her nieces' minds; and it is not very wonderful 
102:019,26['  ]| that$3$ with all their promising talents and early information, 
102:019,27['  ]| they should be entirely deficient in$4$ the less common$2$ 
102:019,28['  ]| acquirements of self-knowledge, generosity, and humility. 
102:019,29['  ]| In$4$ every*thing but disposition, they were admirably 
102:019,30['  ]| taught. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas did not know what was wanting, 
102:019,31['  ]| because, though a truly anxious father, he was not outwardly 
102:019,32['  ]| affectionate, and the reserve$0$ of his manner repressed 
102:019,33['  ]| all the flow$0$ of their spirits before$4$ him. 
102:019,34['  ]| To$4$ the education of her daughters, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram paid 
102:019,35['  ]| not the smallest attention. She had not time for$4$ such 
102:019,36['  ]| cares$0$. She was a woman who$6#1$ spent her days in$4$ sitting 
102:019,37['  ]| nicely dressed on$4$ a sofa, doing some long piece of needlework, 
102:019,38['  ]| of little use$0$ and no$2$ beauty, thinking more of her 
102:020,01['  ]| pug than her children, but very indulgent to$4$ the latter, 
102:020,02['  ]| when it did not put herself to$4$ inconvenience, guided in$4$ 
102:020,03['  ]| every*thing important by$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, and in$4$ smaller 
102:020,04['  ]| concerns$0$ by$4$ her sister. Had she possessed greater leisure 
102:020,05['  ]| for$4$ the service of her girls, she would probably have 
102:020,06['  ]| supposed it unnecessary, for$3$ 
102:020,06@f   | they were under the care$0$ of 
102:020,07@f   | a governess, with proper masters, and could want$1$ nothing 
102:020,08@f   | more. As for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's being$1$ stupid at learning, 
102:020,08[F  ]| "she 
102:020,09[F  ]| could only say it was very unlucky, but some people 
102:020,10[F  ]| \were\ stupid, and $MP#A$Fanny must take more pains; she did 
102:020,11[F  ]| not know what else was to$9$ be done; and except her 
102:020,12[F  ]| being$1$ so$5#1$ dull, she must add, she saw no$2$ harm$0$ in$4$ the poor 
102:020,13[F  ]| little thing ~~ and always found her very handy and quick$2$ 
102:020,14[F  ]| in$4$ carrying messages, and fetching what she wanted." 
102:020,15['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, with all her faults of ignorance and timidity, 
102:020,16['  ]| was fixed at Mansfield*Park, and learning to$9$ transfer$1$ in$4$ 
102:020,17['  ]| its favour$0$ much of her attachment to$4$ her former home, 
102:020,18['  ]| grew up$5$ there not unhappily among her cousins. There 
102:020,19['  ]| was no$2$ positive ill-nature in$4$ $MP#H$Maria or $MP#I$Julia; and though 
102:020,20['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was often mortified by$4$ their treatment of her, she 
102:020,21['  ]| thought$1$ too$5#1$ lowly of her own$2$ claims to$9$ feel injured by$4$ it. 
102:020,22['  ]| From about$4$ the time of her entering the family, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
102:020,23['  ]| in$4$ consequence of a little ill-health, and a great 
102:020,24['  ]| deal$0$ of indolence, gave up$5$ the house in$4$ town, which$6#1$ she 
102:020,25['  ]| had been used to$9$ occupy every spring$0$, and remained 
102:020,26['  ]| wholly in$4$ the country, leaving $MP#E$Sir*Thomas to$9$ attend his 
102:020,27['  ]| duty in$4$ Parliament, with whatever increase$0$ or diminution 
102:020,28['  ]| of comfort$0$ might arise from her absence. In$4$ the 
102:020,29['  ]| country, therefore, the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams continued to$9$ exercise$1$ 
102:020,30['  ]| their memories, practise their duets, and grow tall 
102:020,31['  ]| and womanly; and their father saw them becoming in$4$ 
102:020,32['  ]| person, manner, and accomplishments, every*thing that$6#1$ 
102:020,33['  ]| could satisfy his anxiety. 
102:020,33@e   | His eldest son was careless and 
102:020,34@e   | extravagant, and had already given him much uneasiness; 
102:020,35@e   | but his other children promised him nothing but good. 
102:020,36@e   | His daughters he felt, while$3$ they retained the name$0$ of 
102:020,37@e   | $MP#H1$Bertram, must be giving it new grace$0$, and in$4$ quitting it 
102:020,38@e   | he trusted would extend its respectable alliances; and 
102:021,01@e   | the character of $MP#B$Edmund, his strong good sense and 
102:021,02@e   | uprightness of mind$0$, bid most fairly for$4$ utility, honour$0$, 
102:021,03@e   | and happiness to$4$ himself and all his connections. 
102:021,03['  ]| He 
102:021,04['  ]| was to$9$ be a clergyman. 
102:021,05['  ]| Amid the cares$0$ and the complacency which$6#1$ his own$2$ 
102:021,06['  ]| children suggested, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas did not forget to$9$ do what 
102:021,07['  ]| he could for$4$ the children of $MP#P$Mrs%*Price; he assisted her 
102:021,08['  ]| liberally in$4$ the education and disposal of her sons as they 
102:021,09['  ]| became old enough for$4$ a determinate pursuit: and $MP#A$Fanny, 
102:021,10['  ]| though almost totally separated from her family, was 
102:021,11['  ]| sensible$2#1$ of the truest satisfaction in$4$ hearing of any kindness 
102:021,12['  ]| towards them, or of any*thing at all promising in$4$ 
102:021,13['  ]| their situation or conduct$0$. Once, and once only in$4$ the 
102:021,14['  ]| course$0$ of many years, had she the happiness of being$1$ 
102:021,15['  ]| with $MP#Q$William. Of the rest$0#1$ she saw nothing; nobody 
102:021,16['  ]| seemed to$9$ think of her ever going amongst them again, 
102:021,17['  ]| even$5$ for$4$ a visit$0$, nobody at home seemed to$9$ want$1$ her; 
102:021,18['  ]| but $MP#Q$William determining, soon after$4$ her removal, to$9$ be 
102:021,19['  ]| a sailor, was invited to$9$ spend a week with his sister in$4$ 
102:021,20['  ]| Northamptonshire, before$3$ he went to$4$ sea. Their eager 
102:021,21['  ]| affection in$4$ meeting, their exquisite delight$0$ in$4$ being$1$ 
102:021,22['  ]| together, their hours of happy mirth, and moments of 
102:021,23['  ]| serious$2$ conference, may$1$ be imagined; as well$5$ as the 
102:021,24['  ]| sanguine views and spirits of the boy even$5$ to$4$ the last$0$, 
102:021,25['  ]| and the misery of the girl when he left her. Luckily 
102:021,26['  ]| the visit$0$ happened in$4$ the Christmas holidays, when 
102:021,27['  ]| she could directly look$1$ for$4$ comfort$0$ to$4$ her cousin 
102:021,28['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund; and he told her such charming things of what 
102:021,29['  ]| $MP#Q$William was to$9$ do, and be hereafter, in$4$ consequence of 
102:021,30['  ]| his profession$0#2$, as made her gradually admit that$3$ the 
102:021,31['  ]| separation might have some use$0$. $MP#B$Edmund's friendship 
102:021,32['  ]| never failed her: his leaving Eton for$4$ Oxford made no$2$ 
102:021,33['  ]| change$0$ in$4$ his kind$2$ dispositions, and only afforded more 
102:021,34['  ]| frequent opportunities of proving them. Without any 
102:021,35['  ]| display$0$ of doing more than the rest$0#1$, or any fear$0$ of doing 
102:021,36['  ]| too$5#1$ much, he was always true to$4$ her interests$0$, and considerate 
102:021,37['  ]| of her feelings, trying$1$ to$9$ make$1$ her good qualities 
102:021,38['  ]| understood, and to$9$ conquer the diffidence which$6#1$ prevented 
102:022,01['  ]| their being$1$ more apparent; giving her advice, consolation, 
102:022,02['  ]| and encouragement. 
102:022,03['  ]| Kept back$5$ as she was by$4$ every*body else, his single 
102:022,04['  ]| support$0$ could not bring her forward$5$, but his attentions 
102:022,05['  ]| were otherwise of the highest importance in$4$ assisting the 
102:022,06['  ]| improvement of her mind$0$, and extending its pleasures. 
102:022,07['  ]| He knew her to$9$ be clever, to$9$ have a quick$2$ apprehension 
102:022,08['  ]| as well$5$ as good sense, and a fondness for$4$ reading, which$6#1$, 
102:022,09['  ]| properly directed, must be an education in$4$ itself. $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee 
102:022,10['  ]| taught her French, and heard her read the daily 
102:022,11['  ]| portion of History; but he recommended the books which$6#1$ 
102:022,12['  ]| charmed her leisure hours, he encouraged her taste, and 
102:022,13['  ]| corrected her judgment; he made reading useful by$4$ 
102:022,14['  ]| talking to$4$ her of what she read, and heightened its attraction 
102:022,15['  ]| by$4$ judicious praise$0$. In$4$ return$0$ for$4$ such services she 
102:022,16['  ]| loved him better than any*body in$4$ the world except 
102:022,17['  ]| $MP#Q$William; her heart was divided between the two. 
103:023,01['  ]| The first event of any importance in$4$ the family was 
103:023,02['  ]| the death of $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris, which$6#1$ happened when $MP#A$Fanny 
103:023,03['  ]| was about$4$ fifteen, and necessarily introduced alterations 
103:023,04['  ]| and novelties. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, on$4$ quitting the parsonage, 
103:023,05['  ]| removed first to$4$ the park, and afterwards to$4$ a small house 
103:023,06['  ]| of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's in$4$ the village, and consoled herself for$4$ 
103:023,07['  ]| the loss of her husband by$4$ considering that$3$ she could do 
103:023,08['  ]| very well$5$ without him, and for$4$ her reduction of income 
103:023,09['  ]| by$4$ the evident necessity of stricter economy. 
103:023,10['  ]| The living was hereafter for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, and had his uncle 
103:023,11['  ]| died a few years sooner, it would have been duly given 
103:023,12['  ]| to$4$ some friend to$9$ hold$1$ till he were old enough for$4$ orders$0#2$. 
103:023,13['  ]| But $MP#G$Tom's extravagance had, previous to$4$ that$6#2$ event, 
103:023,14['  ]| been so$5#1$ great, as to$9$ render a different disposal of the next 
103:023,15['  ]| presentation necessary, and the younger brother must 
103:023,16['  ]| help$1$ to$9$ pay$1$ for$4$ the pleasures of the elder. There was 
103:023,17['  ]| another family-living actually held for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund; but 
103:023,18['  ]| though this circumstance had made the arrangement 
103:023,19['  ]| somewhat easier to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's conscience, 
103:023,19@e   | he could not 
103:023,20@e   | but feel it to$9$ be an act$0$ of injustice, 
103:023,20['  ]| and he earnestly tried 
103:023,21['  ]| to$9$ impress his eldest son with the same conviction, in$4$ the 
103:023,22['  ]| hope$0$ of its producing a better effect$0$ than any*thing he 
103:023,23['  ]| had yet been able to$9$ say or do. 
103:023,24[E  ]| "I blush$1$ for$4$ you, $MP#G$Tom," 
103:023,24['  ]| said he, in$4$ his most dignified 
103:023,25['  ]| manner; 
103:023,25[E  ]| "I blush$1$ for$4$ the expedient$0$ which$6#1$ I am driven 
103:023,26[E  ]| on$4$, and I trust$1$ I may$1$ pity$1$ your feelings as a brother on$4$ 
103:023,27[E  ]| the occasion$0$. You have robbed $MP#B$Edmund for$4$ ten, twenty, 
103:023,28[E  ]| thirty years, perhaps for$4$ life, of more than half the income 
103:023,29[E  ]| which$6#1$ ought to$9$ be his. It may$1$ hereafter be in$4$ my power, 
103:023,30[E  ]| or in$4$ your's (I hope$1$ it will$1$), to$9$ procure him better 
103:023,30[E  ]| preferment; 
103:023,31[E  ]| but it must not be forgotten, that$3$ no$2$ benefit of 
103:023,32[E  ]| that$6#2$ sort would have been beyond$4$ his natural$2$ claims on$4$ 
103:024,01[E  ]| us, and that$3$ nothing can, in$4$ fact, be an equivalent for$4$ 
103:024,02[E  ]| the certain advantage which$6#1$ he is now obliged to$9$ forego 
103:024,03[E  ]| through$4$ the urgency of your debts." 
103:024,04['  ]| $MP#G$Tom listened with some shame$0$ and some sorrow; but 
103:024,05['  ]| escaping as quickly as possible, could soon with cheerful 
103:024,06['  ]| selfishness reflect, 
103:024,06@g   | 1st, that$3$ he had not been half so$5#1$ much 
103:024,07@g   | in$4$ debt as some of his friends; 2dly, that$3$ his father had 
103:024,08@g   | made a most tiresome piece of work$0$ of it; and 3dly, 
103:024,09@g   | that$3$ the future incumbent, whoever he might be, would, 
103:024,10@g   | in$4$ all probability, die$1$ very soon. 
103:024,11['  ]| On$4$ $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris's death, the presentation became the 
103:024,12['  ]| right$0$ of a $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, who$6#1$ came consequently to$9$ reside 
103:024,13['  ]| at Mansfield, and on$4$ proving to$9$ be a hearty man of forty-five, 
103:024,14['  ]| seemed likely to$9$ disappoint $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram's calculations. 
103:024,15['  ]| But 
103:024,15[G  ]| "no$7$, he was a short-neck'd, apoplectic sort 
103:024,16[G  ]| of fellow, and, plied well$5$ with good things, would soon 
103:024,17[G  ]| pop off." 
103:024,18['  ]| He had a wife about$4$ fifteen years his junior, but no$2$ 
103:024,19['  ]| children, and they entered the neighbourhood with the 
103:024,20['  ]| usual fair report$0$ of being$1$ very respectable, agreeable 
103:024,21['  ]| people. 
103:024,22['  ]| The time was now come when $MP#E$Sir*Thomas expected 
103:024,23@e   | his sister-in-law to$9$ claim$1$ her share$0$ in$4$ their niece, the 
103:024,24@e   | change$0$ in$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's situation, and the improvement 
103:024,25@e   | in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's age, seeming not merely to$9$ do away any 
103:024,26@e   | former objection to$4$ their living together, but even$5$ to$9$ 
103:024,27@e   | give it the most decided eligibility; and as his own$2$ 
103:024,28@e   | circumstances were rendered less fair than heretofore, 
103:024,29@e   | by$4$ some recent losses on$4$ his West*India*Estate, in$4$ addition 
103:024,30@e   | to$4$ his eldest son's extravagance, it became not undesirable 
103:024,31@e   | to$4$ himself to$9$ be relieved from the expense of her support$0$, 
103:024,32@e   | and the obligation of her future provision. 
103:024,32['  ]| In$4$ the fulness 
103:024,33['  ]| of his belief that$3$ such a thing must be, he mentioned its 
103:024,34['  ]| probability to$4$ his wife; and the first time of the subject's 
103:024,35['  ]| occurring to$4$ her again, happening to$9$ be when $MP#A$Fanny was 
103:024,36['  ]| present$5$, she calmly observed to$4$ her, 
103:024,36[F  ]| "So$3$, $MP#A$Fanny, you are 
103:024,37[F  ]| going to$9$ leave$1$ us, and live with my sister. How shall 
103:024,38[F  ]| you like$1$ it?" 
103:025,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was too$5#1$ much surprised to$9$ do more than repeat 
103:025,02['  ]| her aunt's words, 
103:025,02[A  ]| "Going to$9$ leave$1$ you?" 
103:025,03[F  ]| "Yes, my dear$2#1$, why should you be astonished? You 
103:025,04[F  ]| have been five years with us, and my sister always meant 
103:025,05[F  ]| to$9$ take you when $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris died. But you must come 
103:025,06[F  ]| up$5$ and tack on$5$ my patterns all the same." 
103:025,07['  ]| The news was as disagreeable to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny as it had been 
103:025,08['  ]| unexpected. 
103:025,08@a   | She had never received kindness from her 
103:025,09@a   | aunt $MP#J$Norris, and could not love$1$ her. 
103:025,10[A  ]| "I shall be very sorry to$9$ go away," 
103:025,10['  ]| said she, with 
103:025,11['  ]| a faltering voice. 
103:025,12[F  ]| "Yes, I dare$1#2$ say you will$1$; \that's\ natural$2$ enough. 
103:025,13[F  ]| I suppose you have had as little to$9$ vex you, since you 
103:025,14[F  ]| came into this house, as any creature in$4$ the world." 
103:025,15[A  ]| "I hope$1$ I am not ungrateful, aunt," 
103:025,15['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, 
103:025,16['  ]| modestly. 
103:025,17[F  ]| "No$7$, my dear$2#1$; I hope$1$ not. I have always found you 
103:025,18[F  ]| a very good girl." 
103:025,19[A  ]| "And am I never to$9$ live here again?" 
103:025,20[F  ]| "Never, my dear$2#1$; but you are sure of a comfortable 
103:025,21[F  ]| home. It can make$1$ very little difference to$4$ you, whether 
103:025,22[F  ]| you are in$4$ one house or the other." 
103:025,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny left the room with a very sorrowful heart; 
103:025,23@a   | she 
103:025,24@a   | could not feel the difference to$9$ be so$5#1$ small, she could not 
103:025,25@a   | think of living with her aunt with any*thing like$4$ satisfaction. 
103:025,26['  ]| As soon as she met with $MP#B$Edmund, she told him 
103:025,27['  ]| her distress$0$. 
103:025,28[A  ]| "Cousin," 
103:025,28['  ]| said she, 
103:025,28[A  ]| "something is going to$9$ happen 
103:025,29[A  ]| which$6#1$ I do not like$1$ at all; and though you have often 
103:025,30[A  ]| persuaded me into being$1$ reconciled to$9$ things that$6#1$ I disliked 
103:025,31[A  ]| at first, you will$1$ not be able to$9$ do it now. I am 
103:025,32[A  ]| going to$9$ live entirely with my aunt $MP#J$Norris." 
103:025,33[B  ]| "Indeed!" 
103:025,34[A  ]| "Yes, my aunt $MP#F$Bertram has just$5$ told me so$5#2$. It is 
103:025,35[A  ]| quite settled. I am to$9$ leave$1$ Mansfield*Park, and go to$4$ the 
103:025,36[A  ]| White*house, I suppose, as soon as she is removed there." 
103:025,37[B  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#A$Fanny, and if the plan were not unpleasant to$4$ 
103:025,38[B  ]| you, I should call$1$ it an excellent one." 
103:026,01[A  ]| "Oh! Cousin!" 
103:026,02[B  ]| "It has every*thing else in$4$ its favour$0$. My aunt is acting 
103:026,03[B  ]| like$4$ a sensible$2#2$ woman in$4$ wishing for$4$ you. She is choosing 
103:026,04[B  ]| a friend and companion exactly where she ought, and 
103:026,05[B  ]| I am glad her love$0$ of money does not interfere. You 
103:026,06[B  ]| will$1$ be what you ought to$9$ be to$4$ her. I hope$1$ it does not 
103:026,07[B  ]| distress$1$ you very much, $MP#A$Fanny." 
103:026,08[A  ]| "Indeed it does. I cannot like$1$ it. I love$1$ this house 
103:026,09[A  ]| and every*thing in$4$ it. I shall love$1$ nothing there. You 
103:026,10[A  ]| know how uncomfortable I feel with her." 
103:026,11[B  ]| "I can say nothing for$4$ her manner to$4$ you as a child; 
103:026,12[B  ]| but it was the same with us all, or nearly so$5#2$. She never 
103:026,13[B  ]| knew how to$9$ be pleasant to$4$ children. But you are now 
103:026,14[B  ]| of an age to$9$ be treated better; I think she \is\ behaving 
103:026,15[B  ]| better already; and when you are her only companion, 
103:026,16[B  ]| you \must\ be important to$4$ her." 
103:026,17[A  ]| "I can never be important to$4$ any*one." 
103:026,18[B  ]| "What is to$9$ prevent you?" 
103:026,19[A  ]| "Every*thing ~~ my situation ~~ my foolishness and 
103:026,20[A  ]| awkwardness." 
103:026,21[B  ]| "As to$4$ your foolishness and awkwardness, my dear$2#1$ 
103:026,22[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, believe me, you never have a shadow of either, 
103:026,23[B  ]| but in$4$ using the words so$5#1$ improperly. There is no$2$ 
103:026,24[B  ]| reason$0$ in$4$ the world why you should not be important 
103:026,25[B  ]| where you are known. You have good sense, and a sweet 
103:026,26[B  ]| temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that$6#1$ 
103:026,27[B  ]| could never receive kindness without wishing to$9$ return$1$ it. 
103:026,28[B  ]| I do not know any better qualifications for$4$ a friend and 
103:026,29[B  ]| companion." 
103:026,30[A  ]| "You are too$5#1$ kind$2$," 
103:026,30['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, colouring at such 
103:026,31['  ]| praise$0$; 
103:026,31[A  ]| "how shall I ever thank you as I ought, for$4$ 
103:026,32[A  ]| thinking so$5#1$ well$5$ of me? Oh! cousin, if I am to$9$ go 
103:026,33[A  ]| away, I shall remember your goodness, to$4$ the last$2$ moment 
103:026,34[A  ]| of my life." 
103:026,35[B  ]| "Why, indeed, $MP#A$Fanny, I should hope$1$ to$9$ be remembered 
103:026,36[B  ]| at such a distance$0$ as the White*house. You speak as if 
103:026,37[B  ]| you were going two hundred miles off, instead of only 
103:026,38[B  ]| across$4$ the park. But you will$1$ belong to$4$ us almost as 
103:027,01[B  ]| much as ever. The two families will$1$ be meeting every 
103:027,02[B  ]| day in$4$ the year. The only difference will$1$ be, that$3$ living 
103:027,03[B  ]| with your aunt, you will$1$ necessarily be brought forward$5$, 
103:027,04[B  ]| as you ought to$9$ be. \Here\, there are too$5#1$ many, whom$6#1$ 
103:027,05[B  ]| you can hide behind; but with \her\ you will$1$ be forced to$9$ 
103:027,06[B  ]| speak for$4$ yourself." 
103:027,07[A  ]| "Oh! do not say so$5#2$." 
103:027,08[B  ]| "I must say it, and say it with pleasure. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
103:027,09[B  ]| is much better fitted than my mother for$4$ having the 
103:027,10[B  ]| charge$0$ of you now. She is of a temper to$9$ do a great 
103:027,11[B  ]| deal$0$ for$4$ any*body she really interests$1$ herself about$4$, 
103:027,12[B  ]| and she will$1$ force$1$ you to$9$ do justice to$4$ your natural$2$ 
103:027,13[B  ]| powers." 
103:027,14['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny sighed, and said, 
103:027,14[A  ]| "I cannot see things as you 
103:027,15[A  ]| do; but I ought to$9$ believe you to$9$ be right$2#1$ rather than 
103:027,16[A  ]| myself, and I am very much obliged to$4$ you for$4$ trying$1$ to$9$ 
103:027,17[A  ]| reconcile me to$4$ what must be. If I could suppose my 
103:027,18[A  ]| aunt really to$9$ care$1$ for$4$ me, it would be delightful to$9$ feel 
103:027,19[A  ]| myself of consequence to$4$ any*body! ~~ \Here\, I know I am 
103:027,20[A  ]| of none, and yet I love$1$ the place$0$ so$5#1$ well$5$." 
103:027,21[B  ]| "The place$0$, $MP#A$Fanny, is what you will$1$ not quit, though 
103:027,22[B  ]| you quit the house. You will$1$ have as free a command$0$ 
103:027,23[B  ]| of the park and gardens as ever. Even$5$ \your\ constant 
103:027,24[B  ]| little heart need$1$ not take fright at such a nominal change$0$. 
103:027,25[B  ]| You will$1$ have the same walks$0$ to$9$ frequent, the same 
103:027,26[B  ]| library to$9$ choose from, the same people to$9$ look$1$ at, the 
103:027,27[B  ]| same horse to$9$ ride$1$." 
103:027,28[A  ]| "Very true. Yes, dear$2#1$ old grey poney. Ah! cousin, 
103:027,29[A  ]| when I remember how much I used to$9$ dread$1$ riding, what 
103:027,30[A  ]| terrors it gave me to$9$ hear it talked of as likely to$9$ do me 
103:027,31[A  ]| good; ~~ (Oh! how I have trembled at my uncle's opening 
103:027,32[A  ]| his lips if horses were talked of) and then think of the 
103:027,33[A  ]| kind$2$ pains you took to$9$ reason$1$ and persuade me out$5$ of 
103:027,34[A  ]| my fears, and convince me that$3$ I should like$1$ it after$4$ 
103:027,35[A  ]| a little while$0$, and feel how right$2#1$ you proved to$9$ be, I am 
103:027,36[A  ]| inclined to$9$ hope$1$ you may$1$ always prophesy as well$5$." 
103:027,37[B  ]| "And I am quite convinced that$3$ your being$1$ with 
103:027,38[B  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, will$1$ be as good for$4$ your mind$0$, as riding has 
103:028,01[B  ]| been for$4$ your health ~~ and as much for$4$ your ultimate 
103:028,02[B  ]| happiness, too$5#2$." 
103:028,03['  ]| So$5#2$ ended their discourse, which$6#1$, for$4$ any very appropriate 
103:028,04['  ]| service it could render $MP#A$Fanny, might as well$5$ have 
103:028,05['  ]| been spared, for$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had not the smallest intention 
103:028,06['  ]| of taking her. It had never occurred to$4$ her, on$4$ the 
103:028,07['  ]| present$2$ occasion$0$, but as a thing to$9$ be carefully avoided. 
103:028,08['  ]| To$9$ prevent its being$1$ expected, she had fixed on$4$ the 
103:028,09['  ]| smallest habitation which$6#1$ could rank$1$ as genteel among 
103:028,10['  ]| the buildings of Mansfield parish; the White*house being$1$ 
103:028,11['  ]| only just$5$ large enough to$9$ receive herself and her servants, 
103:028,12['  ]| and allow a spare*room for$4$ a friend, of which$6#1$ she made 
103:028,13['  ]| a very particular point$0$; ~~ the spare-rooms at the parsonage 
103:028,14['  ]| had never been wanted, but the absolute necessity 
103:028,15['  ]| of a spare-room for$4$ a friend was now never forgotten. 
103:028,16['  ]| Not all her precautions, however, could save$1$ her from 
103:028,17['  ]| being$1$ suspected of something better; or, perhaps, her 
103:028,18['  ]| very display$0$ of the importance of a spare-room, might 
103:028,19['  ]| have misled $MP#E$Sir*Thomas to$9$ suppose it really intended for$4$ 
103:028,20['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram soon brought the matter to$4$ a 
103:028,21['  ]| certainty, by$4$ carelessly observing to$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, ~~ 
103:028,22[F  ]| "I think, sister, we need$1$ not keep $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee any longer, 
103:028,23[F  ]| when $MP#A$Fanny goes to$9$ live with you?" 
103:028,24['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris almost started. 
103:028,24[J  ]| "Live with me, dear$2#1$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
103:028,25[J  ]| what do you mean$1$?" 
103:028,26[F  ]| "Is not she to$9$ live with you? ~~ I thought$1$ you had 
103:028,27[F  ]| settled it with $MP#E$Sir*Thomas?" 
103:028,28[J  ]| "Me! never. I never spoke a syllable about$4$ it to$4$ 
103:028,29[J  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, nor he to$4$ me. $MP#A$Fanny live with me! the 
103:028,30[J  ]| last$2$ thing in$4$ the world for$4$ me to$9$ think of, or for$4$ any*body 
103:028,31[J  ]| to$9$ wish$1$ that$6#1$ really knows us both. Good heaven! what 
103:028,32[J  ]| could I do with $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ Me! a poor helpless, forlorn 
103:028,33[J  ]| widow, unfit for$4$ any*thing, my spirits quite broke down$5$, 
103:028,34[J  ]| what could I do with a girl at her time of life, a girl of 
103:028,35[J  ]| fifteen! the very age of all others to$9$ need$1$ most attention 
103:028,36[J  ]| and care$0$, and put the cheerfullest spirits to$4$ the test. 
103:028,37[J  ]| Sure $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could not seriously expect such a thing! 
103:028,38[J  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas is too$5#1$ much my friend. Nobody that$6#1$ wishes$1$ 
103:029,01[J  ]| me well$5$, I am sure, would propose it. How came $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
103:029,02[J  ]| to$9$ speak to$4$ you about$4$ it?" 
103:029,03[F  ]| "Indeed, I do not know. I suppose he thought$1$ it 
103:029,04[F  ]| best." 
103:029,05[J  ]| "But what did he say? ~~ He could not say he \wished\ 
103:029,06[J  ]| me to$9$ take $MP#A$Fanny. I am sure in$4$ his heart he could not 
103:029,07[J  ]| wish$1$ me to$9$ do it." 
103:029,08[F  ]| "No$7$, he only said he thought$1$ it very likely ~~ and 
103:029,09[F  ]| I thought$1$ so$5#2$ too$5#2$. We both thought$1$ it would be a comfort$0$ 
103:029,10[F  ]| to$4$ you. But if you do not like$1$ it, there is no$2$ more to$9$ be 
103:029,11[F  ]| said. She is no$2$ incumbrance here." 
103:029,12[J  ]| "Dear$2#1$ sister! If you consider my unhappy state$0$, 
103:029,13[J  ]| how can she be any comfort$0$ to$4$ me? Here am I a poor 
103:029,14[J  ]| desolate widow, deprived of the best of husbands, my 
103:029,15[J  ]| health gone in$4$ attending and nursing him, my spirits 
103:029,16[J  ]| still$5$ worse, all my peace in$4$ this world destroyed, with 
103:029,17[J  ]| barely enough to$9$ support$1$ me in$4$ the rank$0$ of a gentlewoman, 
103:029,18[J  ]| and enable me to$9$ live so$3$ as not to$9$ disgrace$1$ the 
103:029,19[J  ]| memory of the dear$2#1$ departed ~~ what possible comfort$0$ 
103:029,20[J  ]| could I have in$4$ taking such a charge$0$ upon$4$ me as $MP#A$Fanny! 
103:029,21[J  ]| If I could wish$1$ it for$4$ my own$2$ sake, I would not do so$5#1$ 
103:029,22[J  ]| unjust a thing by$4$ the poor girl. She is in$4$ good hands, 
103:029,23[J  ]| and sure of doing well$5$. I must struggle$1$ through$4$ my 
103:029,24[J  ]| sorrows and difficulties as I can." 
103:029,25[F  ]| "Then you will$1$ not mind$1$ living by$4$ yourself quite 
103:029,26[F  ]| alone?" 
103:029,27[J  ]| "Dear$2#1$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram! what am I fit$2$ for$4$ but solitude? 
103:029,28[J  ]| Now and then I shall hope$1$ to$9$ have a friend in$4$ my little 
103:029,29[J  ]| cottage (I shall always have a bed for$4$ a friend); but the 
103:029,30[J  ]| most part$0$ of my future days will$1$ be spent in$4$ utter$2$ seclusion. 
103:029,31[J  ]| If I can but make$1$ both ends$0$ meet$1$, that's all 
103:029,32[J  ]| I ask for$4$." 
103:029,33[F  ]| "I hope$1$, sister, things are not so$5#1$ very bad with you 
103:029,34[F  ]| neither ~~ considering. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas says you will$1$ have 
103:029,35[F  ]| six hundred a year." 
103:029,36[J  ]| "$MP#F$Lady*Bertram, I do not complain. I know I cannot 
103:029,37[J  ]| live as I have done, but I must retrench where I can, and 
103:029,38[J  ]| learn to$9$ be a better manager. I \have\ \been\ a liberal 
103:030,01[J  ]| housekeeper enough, but I shall not be ashamed to$9$ 
103:030,02[J  ]| practice$1$ economy now. My situation is as much altered 
103:030,03[J  ]| as my income. A great many things were due$2$ from 
103:030,04[J  ]| poor $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris as clergyman of the parish, that$6#1$ cannot 
103:030,05[J  ]| be expected from me. It is unknown how much was 
103:030,06[J  ]| consumed in$4$ our kitchen by$4$ odd comers and goers. At 
103:030,07[J  ]| the White*house, matters must be better looked after$5$. 
103:030,08[J  ]| I \must\ live within my income, or I shall be miserable; 
103:030,09[J  ]| and I own$1$ it would give me great satisfaction to$9$ be able 
103:030,10[J  ]| to$9$ do rather more ~~ to$9$ lay$1#1$ by$5$ a little at the end$0$ of the 
103:030,11[J  ]| year." 
103:030,12[F  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say you will$1$. You always do, don't you?" 
103:030,13[J  ]| "My object$0$, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, is to$9$ be of use$0$ to$4$ those 
103:030,14[J  ]| that$6#1$ come after$4$ me. It is for$4$ your children's good that$3$ 
103:030,15[J  ]| I wish$1$ to$9$ be richer. I have nobody else to$9$ care$1$ for$4$, but 
103:030,16[J  ]| I should be very glad to$9$ think I could leave$1$ a little trifle$0$ 
103:030,17[J  ]| among them, worth their having." 
103:030,18[F  ]| "You are very good, but do not trouble$1$ yourself about$4$ 
103:030,19[F  ]| them. They are sure of being$1$ well$5$ provided for$5$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
103:030,20[F  ]| will$1$ take care$0$ of that$6#2$." 
103:030,21[J  ]| "Why, you know $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's means$0$ will$1$ be rather 
103:030,22[J  ]| straitened, if the Antigua estate is to$9$ make$1$ such poor 
103:030,23[J  ]| returns$0$." 
103:030,24[F  ]| "Oh! \that$6#2$\ will$1$ soon be settled. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas has been 
103:030,25[F  ]| writing about$4$ it, I know." 
103:030,26[J  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram," 
103:030,26['  ]| said $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, moving to$9$ 
103:030,27['  ]| go, 
103:030,27[J  ]| "I can only say that$3$ my sole desire$0$ is to$9$ be of use$0$ to$4$ 
103:030,28[J  ]| your family ~~ and so$3$ if $MP#E$Sir*Thomas should ever speak 
103:030,29[J  ]| again about$4$ my taking $MP#A$Fanny, you will$1$ be able to$9$ say, 
103:030,30[J  ]| that$3$ my health and spirits put it quite out$5$ of the question$0$ ~~ 
103:030,31[J  ]| besides that$6#2$, I really should not have a bed to$9$ give 
103:030,32[J  ]| her, for$3$ I must keep a spare*room for$4$ a friend." 
103:030,33['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram repeated enough of this conversation 
103:030,34['  ]| to$4$ her husband, to$9$ convince him how much he had 
103:030,35['  ]| mistaken his sister-in-law's views; and she was from 
103:030,36['  ]| that$6#2$ moment perfectly safe from all expectation, or the 
103:030,37['  ]| slightest allusion to$4$ it from him. 
103:030,37@e   | He could not but 
103:030,38@e   | wonder$1$ at her refusing to$9$ do any*thing for$4$ a niece, whom$6#1$ 
103:031,01@e   | she had been so$5#1$ forward$2$ to$9$ adopt; 
103:031,01['  ]| but as she took early 
103:031,02['  ]| care$0$ to$9$ make$1$ him, as well$5$ as $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, understand 
103:031,03['  ]| that$3$ whatever she possessed was designed for$4$ their family, 
103:031,04['  ]| he soon grew reconciled to$4$ a distinction, which$6#1$ 
103:031,04@e   | at the 
103:031,05@e   | same time that$3$ it was advantageous and complimentary 
103:031,06@e   | to$4$ them, would enable him better to$9$ provide for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny 
103:031,07@e   | himself. 
103:031,08['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny soon learnt how unnecessary had been her fears 
103:031,09['  ]| of a removal; and her spontaneous, untaught felicity on$4$ 
103:031,10['  ]| the discovery, conveyed some consolation to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund 
103:031,11['  ]| for$4$ his disappointment in$4$ what he had expected to$9$ be so$5#1$ 
103:031,12['  ]| essentially serviceable to$4$ her. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris took possession 
103:031,13['  ]| of the White*house, the $MP#M1$Grants arrived at the parsonage, 
103:031,14['  ]| and these events over, every*thing at Mansfield went 
103:031,15['  ]| on$5$ for$4$ some time as usual. 
103:031,16['  ]| The $MP#M1$Grants showing a disposition to$9$ be friendly and 
103:031,17['  ]| sociable, gave great satisfaction in$4$ the main$0$ among their 
103:031,18['  ]| new acquaintance. They had their faults, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
103:031,19['  ]| soon found them out$5$. The $MP#M$Dr% was very fond of 
103:031,20['  ]| eating, and would have a good dinner every day; and 
103:031,21['  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, instead of contriving to$9$ gratify him at little 
103:031,22['  ]| expense, gave her cook as high wages as they did at 
103:031,23['  ]| Mansfield*Park, and was scarcely ever seen in$4$ her offices. 
103:031,24['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris could not speak with any temper of such 
103:031,25['  ]| grievances, nor of the quantity of butter and eggs that$6#1$ 
103:031,26['  ]| were regularly consumed in$4$ the house. 
103:031,26[J  ]| "Nobody loved 
103:031,27[J  ]| plenty and hospitality more than herself ~~ nobody more 
103:031,28[J  ]| hated pitiful doings ~~ the parsonage she believed had 
103:031,29[J  ]| never been wanting in$4$ comforts of any sort, had never 
103:031,30[J  ]| borne a bad character in$4$ \her\ \time\, but this was a way of 
103:031,31[J  ]| going on$5$ that$6#1$ she could not understand. A fine lady in$4$ 
103:031,32[J  ]| a country parsonage was quite out$5$ of place$0$. \Her\ store-room 
103:031,33[J  ]| she thought$1$ might have been good enough for$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
103:031,34[J  ]| to$9$ go into. Enquire where she would, she could 
103:031,35[J  ]| not find out$5$ that$3$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant had ever had more than 
103:031,36[J  ]| five thousand pounds." 
103:031,37['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram listened without much interest$0$ to$4$ this 
103:031,38['  ]| sort of invective. She could not enter into the wrongs 
103:032,01['  ]| of an economist, but she felt all the injuries of beauty 
103:032,02['  ]| in$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's being$1$ so$5#1$ well$5$ settled in$4$ life without being$1$ 
103:032,03['  ]| handsome, and expressed her astonishment on$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$ 
103:032,04['  ]| almost as often, though not so$5#1$ diffusely, as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
103:032,05['  ]| discussed the other. 
103:032,06['  ]| These opinions had been hardly canvassed a year, 
103:032,07['  ]| before$3$ another event arose of such importance in$4$ the 
103:032,08['  ]| family, as might fairly claim$1$ some place$0$ in$4$ the thoughts 
103:032,09['  ]| and conversation of the ladies. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas found it 
103:032,10['  ]| expedient$2$ to$9$ go to$4$ Antigua himself, for$4$ the better arrangement 
103:032,11['  ]| of his affairs, and he took his eldest son with him 
103:032,12['  ]| in$4$ the hope$0$ of detaching him from some bad connections 
103:032,13['  ]| at home. They left England with the probability of 
103:032,14['  ]| being$1$ nearly a twelvemonth absent. 
103:032,15['  ]| The necessity of the measure$0$ in$4$ a pecuniary light$0$, and 
103:032,16['  ]| the hope$0$ of its utility to$4$ his son, reconciled $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
103:032,17['  ]| to$4$ the effort of quitting the rest$0#1$ of his family, and of 
103:032,18['  ]| leaving his daughters to$4$ the direction of others at their 
103:032,19['  ]| present$2$ most interesting time of life. He could not 
103:032,20['  ]| think $MP#F$Lady*Bertram quite equal$2$ to$9$ supply$1$ his place$0$ with 
103:032,21['  ]| them, or rather to$9$ perform what should have been her 
103:032,22['  ]| own$2$; but in$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's watchful attention, and in$4$ 
103:032,23['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's judgment, he had sufficient confidence to$9$ make$1$ 
103:032,24['  ]| him go without fears for$4$ their conduct$0$. 
103:032,25['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram did not at all like$1$ to$9$ have her husband 
103:032,26['  ]| leave$1$ her; but she was not disturbed by$4$ any alarm$0$ for$4$ 
103:032,27['  ]| his safety, or solicitude for$4$ his comfort$0$, being$1$ one of 
103:032,28['  ]| those persons who$6#1$ think nothing can be dangerous or 
103:032,29['  ]| difficult, or fatiguing to$4$ any*body but themselves. 
103:032,30['  ]| The $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams were much to$9$ be pitied on$4$ the 
103:032,31['  ]| occasion$0$; not for$4$ their sorrow, but for$4$ their want$0$ of it. 
103:032,32['  ]| Their father was no$2$ object$0$ of love$0$ to$4$ them, he had never 
103:032,33['  ]| seemed the friend of their pleasures, and his absence 
103:032,34['  ]| was unhappily most welcome$2$. They were relieved by$4$ it 
103:032,35['  ]| from all restraint; and without aiming at one gratification 
103:032,36['  ]| that$6#1$ would probably have been forbidden by$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
103:032,37['  ]| they felt themselves immediately at their own$2$ disposal, 
103:032,38['  ]| and to$9$ have every indulgence within their reach$0$. $MP#A$Fanny's 
103:033,01['  ]| relief, and her consciousness of it, were quite equal$2$ to$4$ 
103:033,02['  ]| her cousins', but a more tender$2$ nature suggested that$3$ her 
103:033,03['  ]| feelings were ungrateful, and she really grieved because 
103:033,04['  ]| she could not grieve. 
103:033,04[A  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas, who$6#1$ had done so$5#1$ 
103:033,05[A  ]| much for$4$ her and her brothers, and who$6#1$ was gone perhaps 
103:033,06[A  ]| never to$9$ return$1$! that$3$ she should see him go without 
103:033,07[A  ]| a tear$0$! ~~ it was a shameful insensibility." 
103:033,07['  ]| He had said 
103:033,08['  ]| to$4$ her moreover, on$4$ the very last$2$ morning, that$3$ 
103:033,08@e   | he hoped 
103:033,09@e   | she might see $MP#Q$William again in$4$ the course$0$ of the ensuing 
103:033,10@e   | winter, and had charged her to$9$ write and invite him to$4$ 
103:033,11@e   | Mansfield as soon as the squadron to$4$ which$6#1$ he belonged 
103:033,12@e   | should be known to$9$ be in$4$ England. 
103:033,12[A  ]| "This was so$5#1$ 
103:033,13[A  ]| thoughtful and kind$2$!" 
103:033,13@a   | ~~ and would he only have smiled 
103:033,14@a   | upon$4$ her and called her "my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny," while$3$ he said 
103:033,15@a   | it, every former frown$0$ or cold$2$ address$0$ might have been 
103:033,16@a   | forgotten. 
103:033,16['  ]| But he had ended his speech in$4$ a way to$9$ sink 
103:033,17['  ]| her in$4$ sad mortification, by$4$ adding, 
103:033,17[E  ]| "If $MP#Q$William does 
103:033,18[E  ]| come to$4$ Mansfield, I hope$1$ you may$1$ be able to$9$ convince 
103:033,19[E  ]| him that$3$ the many years which$6#1$ have passed since you 
103:033,20[E  ]| parted, have not been spent on$4$ your side$0$ entirely without 
103:033,21[E  ]| improvement ~~ though I fear$1$ he must find his sister at 
103:033,22[E  ]| sixteen in$4$ some respects too$5#1$ much like$4$ his sister at ten." 
103:033,23['  ]| She cried bitterly over this reflection when her uncle was 
103:033,24['  ]| gone; and her cousins, on$4$ seeing her with red eyes, set$1$ 
103:033,25['  ]| her down$5$ as a hypocrite. 
104:034,01['  ]| $MP#G$Tom*Bertram had of late spent so$5#1$ little of his time 
104:034,02['  ]| at home, that$3$ he could be only nominally missed; and 
104:034,03['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was soon 
104:034,03@f   | astonished to$9$ find how very well$5$ 
104:034,04@f   | they did even$5$ without his father, how well$5$ $MP#B$Edmund could 
104:034,05@f   | supply$1$ his place$0$ in$4$ carving, talking to$4$ the steward, 
104:034,06@f   | writing to$4$ the attorney, settling with the servants, 
104:034,06['  ]| and 
104:034,07['  ]| equally saving her from all possible fatigue$0$ or exertion 
104:034,08['  ]| in$4$ every particular, but that$6#2$ of directing her letters. 
104:034,09['  ]| The earliest intelligence of the travellers' safe arrival 
104:034,10['  ]| in$4$ Antigua after$4$ a favourable voyage, was received; 
104:034,11['  ]| though not before$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had been indulging in$4$ very 
104:034,12['  ]| dreadful fears, and trying$1$ to$9$ make$1$ $MP#B$Edmund participate 
104:034,13['  ]| them whenever she could get him alone; and as she 
104:034,14['  ]| depended on$4$ being$1$ the first person made acquainted with 
104:034,15['  ]| any fatal catastrophe, she had already arranged the 
104:034,16['  ]| manner of breaking it to$4$ all the others, when $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
104:034,17['  ]| assurances of their both being$1$ alive and well$5$, made it 
104:034,18['  ]| necessary to$9$ lay$1#1$ by$4$ her agitation and affectionate preparatory 
104:034,19['  ]| speeches for$4$ a while$0$. 
104:034,20['  ]| The winter came and passed without their being$1$ called 
104:034,21['  ]| for$5$; the accounts continued perfectly good; ~~ and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
104:034,22['  ]| in$4$ promoting gaieties for$4$ her nieces, assisting their 
104:034,23['  ]| toilettes, displaying their accomplishments, and looking 
104:034,24['  ]| about$5$ for$4$ their future husbands, had so$5#1$ much to$9$ do as, 
104:034,25['  ]| in$4$ addition to$4$ all her own$2$ household cares$0$, some interference 
104:034,26['  ]| in$4$ those of her sister, and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's wasteful 
104:034,27['  ]| doings to$9$ overlook, left her very little occasion$0$ to$9$ be 
104:034,28['  ]| occupied even$5$ in$4$ fears for$4$ the absent. 
104:034,29['  ]| The $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams were now fully established among 
104:034,30['  ]| the belles of the neighbourhood; and as they joined to$4$ 
104:034,31['  ]| beauty and brilliant acquirements, a manner naturally 
104:034,32['  ]| easy, and carefully formed to$4$ general$2$ civility and obligingness, 
104:034,33['  ]| they possessed its favour$0$ as well$5$ as its admiration. 
104:035,01['  ]| Their vanity was in$4$ such good order, that$3$ they seemed 
104:035,02['  ]| to$9$ be quite free from it, and gave themselves no$2$ airs; 
104:035,03['  ]| while$3$ the praises attending such behaviour, secured, and 
104:035,04['  ]| brought round$5$ by$4$ their aunt, served to$9$ strengthen them 
104:035,05['  ]| in$4$ believing they had no$2$ faults. 
104:035,06['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram did not go into public$0$ with her daughters. 
104:035,07['  ]| She was too$5#1$ indolent even$5$ to$9$ accept a mother's gratification 
104:035,08['  ]| in$4$ witnessing their success and enjoyment at the 
104:035,09['  ]| expense of any personal trouble$0$, and the charge$0$ was made 
104:035,10['  ]| over to$4$ her sister, who$6#1$ desired nothing better than a post 
104:035,11['  ]| of such honourable representation, and very thoroughly 
104:035,12['  ]| relished the means$0$ it afforded her of mixing in$4$ society 
104:035,13['  ]| without having horses to$9$ hire$1$. 
104:035,14['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had no$2$ share$0$ in$4$ the festivities of the season; 
104:035,15['  ]| but she enjoyed being$1$ avowedly useful as her aunt's 
104:035,16['  ]| companion, when they called away the rest$0#1$ of the family; 
104:035,17['  ]| and as $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee had left Mansfield, she naturally became 
104:035,18['  ]| every*thing to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram during the night of a ball$0#2$ 
104:035,19['  ]| or a party. She talked to$4$ her, listened to$4$ her, read to$4$ 
104:035,20['  ]| her; and the tranquillity of such evenings, her perfect$2$ 
104:035,21['  ]| security in$4$ such a \te^te-a`-te^te\ from any sound$0$ of unkindness, 
104:035,22['  ]| was unspeakably welcome$2$ to$4$ a mind$0$ which$6#1$ had seldom 
104:035,23['  ]| known a pause$0$ in$4$ its alarms or embarrassments. 
104:035,23@a   | As to$4$ 
104:035,24@a   | her cousins' gaieties, she loved to$9$ hear an account$0$ of them, 
104:035,25@a   | especially of the balls, and whom$6#1$ $MP#B$Edmund had danced 
104:035,26@a   | with; but thought$1$ too$5#1$ lowly of her own$2$ situation to$9$ 
104:035,27@a   | imagine she should ever be admitted to$4$ the same, and 
104:035,28@a   | listened therefore without an idea of any nearer concern$0$ 
104:035,29@a   | in$4$ them. Upon$4$ the whole$0$, it was a comfortable winter 
104:035,30@a   | to$4$ her; for$3$ though it brought no$2$ $MP#Q$William to$4$ England, 
104:035,31@a   | the never failing hope$0$ of his arrival was worth much. 
104:035,32['  ]| The ensuing spring$0$ deprived her of her valued friend 
104:035,33['  ]| the old grey poney, and for$4$ some time she was in$4$ danger 
104:035,34['  ]| of feeling the loss in$4$ her health as well$5$ as in$4$ her affections, 
104:035,35['  ]| for$3$ in$4$ spite$8$ of the acknowledged importance of her riding 
104:035,36['  ]| on$4$ horseback, no$2$ measures were taken for$4$ mounting her 
104:035,37['  ]| again, 
104:035,37[Y  ]| "because," 
104:035,37['  ]| as it was observed by$4$ her aunts, 
104:035,37[Y  ]| "she 
104:035,38[Y  ]| might ride$1$ one of her cousins' horses at any time when 
104:036,01[Y  ]| they did not want$1$ them;" 
104:036,01['  ]| and as the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams 
104:036,02['  ]| regularly wanted their horses every fine day, and had 
104:036,03['  ]| no$2$ idea of carrying their obliging manners to$4$ the sacrifice$0$ 
104:036,04['  ]| of any real pleasure, that$6#2$ time of course$8$ never came. 
104:036,05['  ]| They took their cheerful rides$0$ in$4$ the fine mornings of 
104:036,06['  ]| April and May$0$; and $MP#A$Fanny either sat at home the whole$2$ 
104:036,07['  ]| day with one aunt, or walked beyond$4$ her strength at the 
104:036,08['  ]| instigation of the other; $MP#F$Lady*Bertram holding exercise$0$ 
104:036,09['  ]| to$9$ be as unnecessary for$4$ every*body as it was unpleasant 
104:036,10['  ]| to$4$ herself; and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ was walking all day, 
104:036,11['  ]| thinking every*body ought to$9$ walk$1$ as much. $MP#B$Edmund 
104:036,12['  ]| was absent at this time, or the evil would have been 
104:036,13['  ]| earlier remedied. When he returned to$9$ understand how 
104:036,14['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was situated, and perceive its ill effects, there 
104:036,15['  ]| seemed with him but one thing to$9$ be done, and that$3$ 
104:036,16[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny must have a horse," 
104:036,16['  ]| was the resolute declaration 
104:036,17['  ]| with which$6#1$ he opposed whatever could be urged by$4$ the 
104:036,18['  ]| supineness of his mother, or the economy of his aunt, to$9$ 
104:036,19['  ]| make$1$ it appear unimportant. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
104:036,19@j   | could not help$1$ 
104:036,20@j   | thinking that$3$ some steady old thing might be found 
104:036,21@j   | among the numbers belonging to$4$ the Park, that$6#1$ would do 
104:036,22@j   | vastly well$5$, or that$3$ one might be borrowed of the steward, 
104:036,23@j   | or that$3$ perhaps $MP#M$Dr%*Grant might now and then lend 
104:036,24@j   | them the poney he sent to$4$ the post. She could not but 
104:036,25@j   | consider it as absolutely unnecessary, and even$5$ improper, 
104:036,26@j   | that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny should have a regular lady's horse of her own$2$ 
104:036,27@j   | in$4$ the style of her cousins. She was sure $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
104:036,28@j   | had never intended it; and she must say, that$3$ to$9$ be 
104:036,29@j   | making such a purchase$0$ in$4$ his absence, and adding to$4$ 
104:036,30@j   | the great expenses of his stable at a time when a large 
104:036,31@j   | part$0$ of his income was unsettled, seemed to$4$ her very 
104:036,32@j   | unjustifiable. 
104:036,32[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny must have a horse," 
104:036,32['  ]| was $MP#B$Edmund's 
104:036,33['  ]| only reply$0$. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris could not see it in$4$ the same light$0$. 
104:036,34['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram did; 
104:036,34@f   | she entirely agreed with her son as 
104:036,35@f   | to$4$ the necessity of it, and as to$4$ its being$1$ considered 
104:036,36@f   | necessary by$4$ his father; ~~ she only pleaded against there 
104:036,37@f   | being$1$ any hurry$0$, she only wanted him to$9$ wait till $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
104:036,38@f   | return$0$, and then $MP#E$Sir*Thomas might settle it all 
104:037,01@f   | himself. He would be at home in$4$ September, and where 
104:037,02@f   | would be the harm$0$ of only waiting till September? 
104:037,03['  ]| Though $MP#B$Edmund was much more displeased with his 
104:037,04['  ]| aunt than with his mother, as evincing least regard$0$ for$4$ 
104:037,05['  ]| her niece, he could not help$1$ paying more attention to$4$ 
104:037,06['  ]| what she said, and at length determined on$4$ a method 
104:037,07['  ]| of proceeding which$6#1$ would obviate the risk$0$ of his father's 
104:037,08['  ]| thinking he had done too$5#1$ much, and at the same time 
104:037,09['  ]| procure for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny the immediate means$0$ of exercise$0$, 
104:037,10['  ]| which$6#1$ he could not bear$1$ she should be without. He had 
104:037,11['  ]| three horses of his own$2$, but not one that$6#1$ would carry 
104:037,12['  ]| a woman. Two of them were hunters; the third, 
104:037,13['  ]| a useful road-horse: this third he resolved to$9$ exchange$1$ 
104:037,14['  ]| for$4$ one that$6#1$ his cousin might ride$1$; he knew where such 
104:037,15['  ]| a one was to$9$ be met with, and having once made up$5$ his 
104:037,16['  ]| mind$0$, the whole$2$ business was soon completed. The new 
104:037,17['  ]| mare proved a treasure; with a very little trouble$0$, she 
104:037,18['  ]| became exactly calculated for$4$ the purpose, and $MP#A$Fanny 
104:037,19['  ]| was then put in$4$ almost full possession of her. She had 
104:037,20['  ]| not supposed before$5$, that$3$ any*thing could ever suit$1$ her 
104:037,21['  ]| like$4$ the old grey poney; but 
104:037,21@a   | her delight$0$ in$4$ $MP#B$Edmund's 
104:037,22@a   | mare was far beyond$4$ any former pleasure of the sort; 
104:037,23@a   | and the addition it was ever receiving in$4$ the consideration 
104:037,24@a   | of that$6#2$ kindness from which$6#1$ her pleasure sprung, 
104:037,25@a   | was beyond$4$ all her words to$9$ express$1$. She regarded her 
104:037,26@a   | cousin as an example of every*thing good and great, as 
104:037,27@a   | possessing worth, which$6#1$ no*one but herself could ever 
104:037,28@a   | appreciate, and as entitled to$4$ such gratitude from her, 
104:037,29@a   | as no$2$ feelings could be strong enough to$9$ pay$1$. 
104:037,29['  ]| Her 
104:037,30['  ]| sentiments towards him were compounded of all that$6#1$ 
104:037,31['  ]| was respectful, grateful, confiding, and tender$2$. 
104:037,32['  ]| As the horse continued in$4$ name$0$ as well$5$ as fact, the 
104:037,33['  ]| property of $MP#B$Edmund, $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris could tolerate its being$1$ 
104:037,34['  ]| for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's use$0$; and had $MP#F$Lady*Bertram ever thought$1$ 
104:037,35['  ]| about$4$ her own$2$ objection again, he might have been 
104:037,36['  ]| excused in$4$ her eyes, for$4$ not waiting till $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
104:037,37['  ]| return$0$ in$4$ September, for$3$ when September came, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
104:037,38['  ]| was still$5$ abroad, and without any near$2$ prospect 
104:038,01['  ]| of finishing his business. Unfavourable circumstances 
104:038,02['  ]| had suddenly arisen at a moment when he was beginning 
104:038,03['  ]| to$9$ turn$1$ all his thoughts towards England, and the very 
104:038,04['  ]| great uncertainty in$4$ which$6#1$ every*thing was then involved, 
104:038,05['  ]| determined him on$4$ sending home his son, and waiting 
104:038,06['  ]| the final arrangement by$4$ himself. $MP#G$Tom arrived safely, 
104:038,07['  ]| bringing an excellent account$0$ of his father's health; but 
104:038,08['  ]| to$4$ very little purpose, as far as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was concerned. 
104:038,09['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's sending away his son, seemed to$4$ her 
104:038,09@j   | so$5#1$ like$4$ 
104:038,10@j   | a parent's care$0$, under the influence$0$ of a foreboding of 
104:038,11@j   | evil to$4$ himself, that$3$ she could not help$1$ feeling dreadful 
104:038,12@j   | presentiments; and as the long evenings of autumn 
104:038,13@j   | came on$5$, was so$5#1$ terribly haunted by$4$ these ideas, in$4$ 
104:038,14@j   | the sad solitariness of her cottage, as to$9$ be obliged to$9$ 
104:038,15@j   | take daily refuge in$4$ the dining*room of the park. 
104:038,15['  ]| The 
104:038,16['  ]| return$0$ of winter engagements, however, was not without 
104:038,17['  ]| its effect$0$; and in$4$ the course$0$ of their progress, her mind$0$ 
104:038,18['  ]| became so$5#1$ pleasantly occupied in$4$ superintending the 
104:038,19['  ]| fortunes of her eldest niece, as tolerably to$9$ quiet$1$ her 
104:038,20['  ]| nerves. 
104:038,20@j   | "If poor $MP#E$Sir*Thomas were fated never to$9$ return$1$, 
104:038,21@j   | it would be peculiarly consoling to$9$ see their dear$2#1$ $MP#H$Maria 
104:038,22@j   | well$5$ married," 
104:038,22['  ]| she very often thought$1$; always when they 
104:038,23['  ]| were in$4$ the company of men of fortune, and particularly 
104:038,24['  ]| on$4$ the introduction of a young man who$6#1$ had recently 
104:038,25['  ]| succeeded to$4$ one of the largest estates and finest places$0$ 
104:038,26['  ]| in$4$ the country. 
104:038,27['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was from the first struck with the 
104:038,28['  ]| beauty of $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, and being$1$ inclined to$9$ marry, 
104:038,29['  ]| soon fancied himself in$4$ love$0$. He was a heavy young 
104:038,30['  ]| man, with not more than common$2$ sense; but as there 
104:038,31['  ]| was nothing disagreeable in$4$ his figure or address$0$, the 
104:038,32['  ]| young lady was well$5$ pleased with her conquest. Being$1$ 
104:038,33['  ]| now in$4$ her twenty-first year, $MP#H$Maria*Bertram was beginning 
104:038,34['  ]| to$9$ think matrimony a duty; and as a marriage 
104:038,35['  ]| with $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth would give her the enjoyment of 
104:038,36['  ]| a larger income than her father's, as well$5$ as ensure her 
104:038,37['  ]| the house in$4$ town, which$6#1$ was now a prime object$0$, it 
104:038,38['  ]| became, by$4$ the same rule of moral obligation, her evident 
104:039,01['  ]| duty to$9$ marry $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth if she could. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
104:039,02['  ]| was most zealous in$4$ promoting the match$0$, by$4$ every 
104:039,03['  ]| suggestion and contrivance, likely to$9$ enhance its desirableness 
104:039,04['  ]| to$4$ either party; and, among other means$0$, by$4$ 
104:039,05['  ]| seeking an intimacy with the gentleman's mother, who$6#1$ 
104:039,06['  ]| at present$0#1$ lived with him, and to$4$ whom$6#1$ she even$5$ forced 
104:039,07['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram to$9$ go through$4$ ten miles of indifferent road, 
104:039,08['  ]| to$9$ pay$1$ a morning visit$0$. It was not long before$3$ a good 
104:039,09['  ]| understanding took place$0$ between this lady and herself. 
104:039,10['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth acknowledged herself 
104:039,10@l   | very desirous that$3$ 
104:039,11@l   | her son should marry, 
104:039,11['  ]| and declared that$3$ 
104:039,11@l   | of all the young 
104:039,12@l   | ladies she had ever seen, $MP#H$Miss*Bertram seemed, by$4$ her 
104:039,13@l   | amiable qualities and accomplishments, the best adapted 
104:039,14@l   | to$9$ make$1$ him happy. 
104:039,14['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris accepted the compliment$0$, 
104:039,15['  ]| and admired the nice discernment of character 
104:039,16['  ]| which$6#1$ could so$5#1$ well$5$ distinguish merit$0$. 
104:039,16@j   | $MP#H$Maria was indeed 
104:039,17@j   | the pride and delight$0$ of them all ~~ perfectly faultless ~~ an 
104:039,18@j   | angel; and of course$8$, so$5#1$ surrounded by$4$ admirers, must 
104:039,19@j   | be difficult in$4$ her choice$0$; but yet as far as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
104:039,20@j   | could allow herself to$9$ decide on$4$ so$5#1$ short an acquaintance, 
104:039,21@j   | $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth appeared precisely the young man to$9$ 
104:039,22@j   | deserve and attach her. 
104:039,23['  ]| After$4$ dancing with each other at a proper number of 
104:039,24['  ]| balls, the young people justified these opinions, and an 
104:039,25['  ]| engagement, with a due$2$ reference to$4$ the absent $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
104:039,26['  ]| was entered into, much to$4$ the satisfaction of 
104:039,27['  ]| their respective families, and of the general$2$ lookers-on 
104:039,28['  ]| of the neighbourhood, who$6#1$ had, for$4$ many weeks past$1$, 
104:039,29['  ]| felt the expediency of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's marrying $MP#H$Miss*Bertram. 
104:039,30['  ]| 
104:039,31['  ]| It was some months before$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's consent$0$ could 
104:039,32['  ]| be received; but in$4$ the mean*while, as no*one felt a doubt$0$ 
104:039,33['  ]| of his most cordial$2$ pleasure in$4$ the connection, the intercourse 
104:039,34['  ]| of the two families was carried on$5$ without restraint, 
104:039,35['  ]| and no$2$ other attempt$0$ made at secrecy, than $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's 
104:039,36['  ]| talking of it every*where as 
104:039,36@j   | a matter not to$9$ be talked of 
104:039,37@j   | at present$0#1$. 
104:039,38['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was the only one of the family who$6#1$ could see 
104:040,01['  ]| a fault in$4$ the business; but no$2$ representation of his 
104:040,02['  ]| aunt's could induce him to$9$ find $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth a desirable 
104:040,03['  ]| companion. He could allow his sister to$9$ be the best 
104:040,04['  ]| judge$0$ of her own$2$ happiness, but he was not pleased that$3$ 
104:040,05['  ]| her happiness should centre$1$ in$4$ a large income; nor could 
104:040,06['  ]| he refrain from often saying to$4$ himself, in$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
104:040,07['  ]| company, 
104:040,07[B  ]| "If this man had not twelve thousand 
104:040,08[B  ]| a year, he would be a very stupid fellow." 
104:040,09['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, however, was truly happy in$4$ the prospect 
104:040,10['  ]| of an alliance so$5#1$ unquestionably advantageous, and of 
104:040,11['  ]| which$6#1$ he heard nothing but the perfectly good and 
104:040,12['  ]| agreeable. 
104:040,12@e   | It was a connection exactly of the right$2#1$ sort; 
104:040,13@e   | in$4$ the same county, and the same interest$0$; 
104:040,13['  ]| and his most 
104:040,14['  ]| hearty concurrence was conveyed as soon as possible. 
104:040,15['  ]| He only conditioned that$3$ the marriage should not take 
104:040,16['  ]| place$0$ before$4$ his return$0$, which$6#1$ he was again looking 
104:040,17['  ]| eagerly forward$5$ to$4$. He wrote in$4$ April, 
104:040,17@e   | and had strong 
104:040,18@e   | hopes$0$ of settling every*thing to$4$ his entire satisfaction, 
104:040,19@e   | and leaving Antigua before$4$ the end$0$ of the summer. 
104:040,20['  ]| Such was the state$0$ of affairs in$4$ the month of July, 
104:040,21['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny had just$5$ reached her eighteenth year, when 
104:040,22['  ]| the society of the village received an addition in$4$ the 
104:040,23['  ]| brother and sister of $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, a $MP#D$Mr% and 
104:040,23['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
104:040,24['  ]| the children of her mother by$4$ a second$2$ marriage. They 
104:040,25['  ]| were young people of fortune. The son had a good 
104:040,26['  ]| estate in$4$ Norfolk, the daughter twenty thousand pounds. 
104:040,27['  ]| As children, their sister had been always very fond of 
104:040,28['  ]| them; but, as her own$2$ marriage had been soon followed 
104:040,29['  ]| by$4$ the death of their common$2$ parent, which$6#1$ left them to$4$ 
104:040,30['  ]| the care$0$ of a brother of their father, of whom$6#1$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
104:040,31['  ]| knew nothing, she had scarcely seen them since. In$4$ 
104:040,32['  ]| their uncle's house they had found a kind$2$ home. 
104:040,32['  ]| $MP#ZF$Admiral 
104:040,33['  ]| and $MP#ZF$Mrs%*Crawford, though agreeing in$4$ nothing else, were 
104:040,34['  ]| united in$4$ affection for$4$ these children, or at least were no$2$ 
104:040,35['  ]| farther adverse in$4$ their feelings than that$3$ each had their 
104:040,36['  ]| favourite$0$, to$4$ whom$6#1$ they showed the greatest fondness 
104:040,37['  ]| of the two. The $MP#ZF$Admiral delighted in$4$ the boy, $MP#ZF$Mrs%*Crawford 
104:040,38['  ]| doated on$4$ the girl; and it was the lady's death 
104:041,01['  ]| which$6#1$ now obliged her \protege=e\, after$4$ some months 
104:041,02['  ]| further trial at her uncle's house, to$9$ find another home. 
104:041,03['  ]| $MP#ZF$Admiral*Crawford was a man of vicious conduct$0$, who$6#1$ 
104:041,04['  ]| chose, instead of retaining his niece, to$9$ bring his mistress 
104:041,05['  ]| under his own$2$ roof; and to$4$ this $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant was indebted 
104:041,06['  ]| for$4$ her sister's proposal of coming to$4$ her, a measure$0$ quite 
104:041,07['  ]| as welcome$2$ on$4$ one side$0$, as it could be expedient$2$ on$4$ the 
104:041,08['  ]| other; for$3$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant having by$4$ this time run$1$ through$4$ 
104:041,09['  ]| the usual resources of ladies residing in$4$ the country 
104:041,10['  ]| without a family of children; having more than filled 
104:041,11['  ]| her favourite$2$ sitting-room with pretty$2$ furniture, and 
104:041,12['  ]| made a choice$2$ collection of plants and poultry, was very 
104:041,13['  ]| much in$4$ want$0$ of some variety at home. The arrival, 
104:041,14['  ]| therefore, of a sister whom$6#1$ she had always loved, and 
104:041,15['  ]| now hoped to$9$ retain with her as long as she remained 
104:041,16['  ]| single, was highly agreeable; and her chief anxiety was 
104:041,17['  ]| lest Mansfield should not satisfy the habits of a young 
104:041,18['  ]| woman who$6#1$ had been mostly used to$4$ London. 
104:041,19['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was not entirely free from similar apprehensions, 
104:041,20['  ]| though they arose principally from doubts$0$ of 
104:041,21['  ]| her sister's style of living and tone of society; and it 
104:041,22['  ]| was not till after$3$ she had tried in$4$ vain to$9$ persuade her 
104:041,23['  ]| brother to$9$ settle with her at his own$2$ country-house, that$3$ 
104:041,24['  ]| she could resolve$1$ to$9$ hazard$1$ herself among her other 
104:041,25['  ]| relations. To$4$ any*thing like$4$ a permanence of abode, or 
104:041,26['  ]| limitation of society, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had, unluckily, 
104:041,27['  ]| a great dislike$0$; he could not accommodate his sister in$4$ 
104:041,28['  ]| an article of such importance, but he escorted her, with 
104:041,29['  ]| the utmost kindness, into Northamptonshire, and as 
104:041,30['  ]| readily engaged to$9$ fetch her away again at half an hour's 
104:041,31['  ]| notice$0$, whenever she were weary of the place$0$. 
104:041,32['  ]| The meeting was very satisfactory on$4$ each side$0$. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
104:041,33['  ]| found 
104:041,33@c   | a sister without preciseness or rusticity ~~ 
104:041,34@c   | a sister's husband who$6#1$ looked the gentleman, and a house 
104:041,35@c   | commodious and well$5$ fitted up$5$; 
104:041,35['  ]| and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant received 
104:041,36@n   | in$4$ those whom$6#1$ she hoped to$9$ love$1$ better than ever, a young 
104:041,37@n   | man and woman of very prepossessing appearance. 
104:041,38['  ]| $MP#C$Mary*Crawford was remarkably pretty$2$; $MP#D$Henry, though 
104:042,01['  ]| not handsome, had air and countenance; the manners 
104:042,02['  ]| of both were lively and pleasant, and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant immediately 
104:042,03['  ]| gave them credit$0$ for$4$ every*thing else. She was 
104:042,04['  ]| delighted with each, but $MP#C$Mary was her dearest object$0$; 
104:042,05['  ]| and having never been able to$9$ glory$1$ in$4$ beauty of her own$2$, 
104:042,06['  ]| she thoroughly enjoyed the power of being$1$ proud of her 
104:042,07['  ]| sister's. She had not waited her arrival to$9$ look$1$ out$5$ for$4$ 
104:042,08['  ]| a suitable match$0$ for$4$ her; she had fixed on$4$ $MP#G$Tom*Bertram; 
104:042,09@n   | the eldest son of a Baronet was not too$5#1$ good for$4$ a girl 
104:042,10@n   | of twenty thousand pounds, with all the elegance and 
104:042,11@n   | accomplishments 
104:042,11['  ]| which$6#1$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant foresaw in$4$ her; and 
104:042,12['  ]| being$1$ a warm-hearted, unreserved woman, $MP#C$Mary had not 
104:042,13['  ]| been three hours in$4$ the house before$3$ she told her what 
104:042,14['  ]| she had planned. 
104:042,15['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was glad to$9$ find a family of such consequence 
104:042,16['  ]| so$5#1$ very near$4$ them, and not at all displeased 
104:042,17['  ]| either at her sister's early care$0$, or the choice$0$ it had fallen 
104:042,18['  ]| on$4$. Matrimony was her object$0$, provided she could marry 
104:042,19['  ]| well$5$, and having seen $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram in$4$ town, she knew 
104:042,20['  ]| that$6#2$ objection could no$2$ more be made to$4$ his person than 
104:042,21['  ]| to$4$ his situation in$4$ life. While$3$ she treated it as a joke, 
104:042,22['  ]| therefore, she did not forget to$9$ think of it seriously. The 
104:042,23['  ]| scheme$0$ was soon repeated to$4$ $MP#D$Henry. 
104:042,24[N  ]| "And now," 
104:042,24['  ]| added $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, 
104:042,24[N  ]| "I have thought$1$ of 
104:042,25[N  ]| something to$9$ make$1$ it quite complete$2$. I should dearly$5#1$ 
104:042,26[N  ]| love$1$ to$9$ settle you both in$4$ this country, and therefore, 
104:042,27[N  ]| $MP#D$Henry, you shall marry the youngest $MP#I$Miss*Bertram, 
104:042,28[N  ]| a nice, handsome, good-humoured, accomplished girl, 
104:042,29[N  ]| who$6#1$ will$1$ make$1$ you very happy." 
104:042,30['  ]| $MP#D$Henry bowed and thanked her. 
104:042,31[C  ]| "My dear$2#1$ sister," 
104:042,31['  ]| said $MP#C$Mary, 
104:042,31[C  ]| "if you can persuade 
104:042,32[C  ]| him into any*thing of the sort, it will$1$ be a fresh matter 
104:042,33[C  ]| of delight$0$ to$4$ me, to$9$ find myself allied to$4$ any*body so$5#1$ 
104:042,34[C  ]| clever, and I shall only regret$1$ that$3$ you have not half-a-dozen 
104:042,35[C  ]| daughters to$9$ dispose of. If you can persuade 
104:042,36[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry to$9$ marry, you must have the address$0$ of a Frenchwoman. 
104:042,37[C  ]| All that$6#1$ English abilities can do, has been 
104:042,38[C  ]| tried already. I have three very particular friends who$6#1$ 
104:043,01[C  ]| have been all dying for$4$ him in$4$ their turn$0$; and the pains 
104:043,02[C  ]| which$6#1$ they, their mothers, (very clever women,) as well$5$ 
104:043,03[C  ]| as my dear$2#1$ aunt and myself, have taken to$9$ reason$1$, coax, 
104:043,04[C  ]| or trick$1$ him into marrying, is inconceivable! He is the 
104:043,05[C  ]| most horrible flirt that$6#1$ can be imagined. If your $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams 
104:043,06[C  ]| do not like$1$ to$9$ have their hearts broke, let them 
104:043,07[C  ]| avoid $MP#D$Henry." 
104:043,08[N  ]| "My dear$2#1$ brother, I will$1$ not believe this of you." 
104:043,09[D  ]| "No$7$, I am sure you are too$5#1$ good. You will$1$ be kinder 
104:043,10[D  ]| than $MP#C$Mary. You will$1$ allow for$4$ the doubts$0$ of youth and 
104:043,11[D  ]| inexperience. I am of a cautious temper, and unwilling 
104:043,12[D  ]| to$9$ risk$1$ my happiness in$4$ a hurry$0$. Nobody can think 
104:043,13[D  ]| more highly of the matrimonial state$0$ than myself. I consider 
104:043,14[D  ]| the blessing of a wife as most justly described in$4$ 
104:043,15[D  ]| those discreet lines of the poet, 
104:043,15@z   | "Heaven's \last$2$\ best gift." 
104:043,16[C  ]| "There, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, you see how he dwells on$4$ one 
104:043,17[C  ]| word, and only look$1$ at his smile$0$. I assure you he is very 
104:043,18[C  ]| detestable ~~ the $MP#ZF$admiral's lessons have quite spoiled him." 
104:043,19[N  ]| "I pay$1$ very little regard$0$," 
104:043,19['  ]| said $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, 
104:043,19[N  ]| "to$4$ what 
104:043,20[N  ]| any young person says on$4$ the subject$0$ of marriage. If 
104:043,21[N  ]| they profess a disinclination for$4$ it, I only set$1$ it down$5$ that$3$ 
104:043,22[N  ]| they have not yet seen the right$2#1$ person." 
104:043,23['  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant laughingly congratulated $MP#C$Miss*Crawford on$4$ 
104:043,24@m   | feeling no$2$ disinclination to$4$ the state$0$ herself. 
104:043,25[C  ]| "Oh! yes, I am not at all ashamed of it. I would 
104:043,26[C  ]| have every*body marry if they can do it properly; I do 
104:043,27[C  ]| not like$1$ to$9$ have people throw$1$ themselves away; but 
104:043,28[C  ]| every*body should marry as soon as they can do it to$4$ 
104:043,29[C  ]| advantage." 
105:044,01['  ]| The young people were pleased with each other from 
105:044,02['  ]| the first. On$4$ each side$0$ there was much to$9$ attract, and 
105:044,03['  ]| their acquaintance soon promised as early an intimacy 
105:044,04['  ]| as good manners would warrant. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's beauty 
105:044,05['  ]| did her no$2$ disservice with the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams. They were 
105:044,06['  ]| too$5#1$ handsome themselves to$9$ dislike$1$ any woman for$4$ being$1$ so$5#2$ 
105:044,07['  ]| too$5#2$, and were almost as much charmed as their brothers, 
105:044,08['  ]| with her lively dark$2$ eye, clear$2$ brown complexion, and 
105:044,09['  ]| general$2$ prettiness. Had she been tall, full formed, and 
105:044,10['  ]| fair, it might have been more of a trial; but as it was, 
105:044,11['  ]| there could be no$2$ comparison, and she was most allowably 
105:044,12['  ]| a sweet pretty$2$ girl, while$3$ they were the finest young 
105:044,13['  ]| women in$4$ the country. 
105:044,14@y   | Her brother was not handsome; no$7$, when they first 
105:044,15@y   | saw him, he was absolutely plain, black and plain; but 
105:044,16@y   | still$5$ he was the gentleman, with a pleasing address$0$. The 
105:044,17@y   | second$2$ meeting proved him not so$5#1$ very plain; he was 
105:044,18@y   | plain, to$9$ be sure, but then he had so$5#1$ much countenance, 
105:044,19@y   | and his teeth were so$5#1$ good, and he was so$5#1$ well$5$ made, 
105:044,20@y   | that$3$ one soon forgot he was plain; 
105:044,20['  ]| and after$4$ a third 
105:044,21['  ]| interview, after$4$ dining in$4$ company with him at the 
105:044,22['  ]| parsonage, he was no$2$ longer allowed to$9$ be called so$5#2$ by$4$ 
105:044,23['  ]| any*body. He was, in$4$ fact, the most agreeable young 
105:044,24['  ]| man the sisters had ever known, and they were equally 
105:044,25['  ]| delighted with him. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram's engagement made 
105:044,26['  ]| him in$4$ equity the property of $MP#I$Julia, of which$6#1$ $MP#I$Julia was 
105:044,27['  ]| fully aware, and before$3$ he had been at Mansfield a week, 
105:044,28['  ]| she was quite ready to$9$ be fallen in$4$ love$0$ with. 
105:044,29['  ]| $MP#H$Maria's notions on$4$ the subject$0$ were more confused and 
105:044,30['  ]| indistinct. She did not want$1$ to$9$ see or understand. 
105:044,31[H  ]| "There could be no$2$ harm$0$ in$4$ her liking an agreeable 
105:044,32[H  ]| man ~~ every*body knew her situation ~~ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
105:044,33[H  ]| must take care$0$ of himself." 
105:044,33['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford did not mean$1$ 
105:045,01['  ]| to$9$ be in$4$ any danger; 
105:045,01@d   | the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams were worth 
105:045,02@d   | pleasing, and were ready to$9$ be pleased; 
105:045,02['  ]| and he began 
105:045,03['  ]| with no$2$ object$0$ but of making them like$1$ him. 
105:045,03@d   | He did 
105:045,04@d   | not want$1$ them to$9$ die$1$ of love$0$; 
105:045,04['  ]| but with sense and temper 
105:045,05['  ]| which$6#1$ ought to$9$ have made him judge$1$ and feel better, he 
105:045,06['  ]| allowed himself great latitude on$4$ such points. 
105:045,07[D  ]| "I like$1$ your $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams exceedingly, sister," 
105:045,07['  ]| said he, 
105:045,08['  ]| as he returned from attending them to$4$ their carriage 
105:045,09['  ]| after$4$ the said dinner visit$0$; 
105:045,09[D  ]| "they are very elegant, 
105:045,10[D  ]| agreeable girls." 
105:045,11[N  ]| "So$5#2$ they are, indeed, and I am delighted to$9$ hear you 
105:045,12[N  ]| say it. But you like$1$ $MP#I$Julia best." 
105:045,13[D  ]| "Oh! yes, I like$1$ $MP#I$Julia best." 
105:045,14[N  ]| "But do you really? for$3$ $MP#H$Miss*Bertram is in$4$ general$0$ 
105:045,15[N  ]| thought$1$ the handsomest." 
105:045,16[D  ]| "So$5#2$ I should suppose. She has the advantage in$4$ 
105:045,17[D  ]| every feature, and I prefer her countenance ~~ but I like$1$ 
105:045,18[D  ]| $MP#I$Julia best. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram is certainly the handsomest, 
105:045,19[D  ]| and I have found her the most agreeable, but I shall 
105:045,20[D  ]| always like$1$ $MP#I$Julia best, because you order me." 
105:045,21[N  ]| "I shall not talk$1$ to$4$ you, $MP#D$Henry, but I know you \will$1$\ 
105:045,22[N  ]| like$1$ her best at last$0$." 
105:045,23[D  ]| "Do not I tell you, that$3$ I like$1$ her best \at\ \first\?" 
105:045,24[N  ]| "And besides, $MP#H$Miss*Bertram is engaged. Remember 
105:045,25[N  ]| that$6#2$, my dear$2#1$ brother. Her choice$0$ is made." 
105:045,26[D  ]| "Yes, and I like$1$ her the better for$4$ it. An engaged 
105:045,27[D  ]| woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. 
105:045,28[D  ]| She is satisfied with herself. Her cares$0$ are over, and she 
105:045,29[D  ]| feels that$3$ she may$1$ exert all her powers of pleasing without 
105:045,30[D  ]| suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no$2$ harm$0$ 
105:045,31[D  ]| can be done." 
105:045,32[N  ]| "Why as to$4$ that$6#2$ ~~ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is a very good sort 
105:045,33[N  ]| of young man, and it is a great match$0$ for$4$ her." 
105:045,34[D  ]| "But $MP#H$Miss*Bertram does not care$1$ three straws for$4$ him; 
105:045,35[D  ]| \that$6#2$\ is your opinion of your intimate$2$ friend. \I\ do not 
105:045,36[D  ]| subscribe to$4$ it. I am sure $MP#H$Miss*Bertram is very much 
105:045,37[D  ]| attached to$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth. I could see it in$4$ her eyes, 
105:045,38[D  ]| when he was mentioned. I think too$5#1$ well$5$ of $MP#H$Miss*Bertram 
105:046,01[D  ]| to$9$ suppose she would ever give her hand$0$ without her 
105:046,02[D  ]| heart." 
105:046,03[N  ]| "$MP#C$Mary, how shall we manage him?" 
105:046,04[C  ]| "We must leave$1$ him to$4$ himself I believe. Talking 
105:046,05[C  ]| does no$2$ good. He will$1$ be taken in$5$ at last$0$." 
105:046,06[N  ]| "But I would not have him \taken\ \in$5$\, I would not have 
105:046,07[N  ]| him duped; I would have it all fair and honourable." 
105:046,08[C  ]| "Oh! dear$7$ ~~ Let him stand$1$ his chance$0$ and be taken in$5$. 
105:046,09[C  ]| It will$1$ do just$5$ as well$5$. Every*body is taken in$5$ at some 
105:046,10[C  ]| period or other." 
105:046,11[N  ]| "Not always in$4$ marriage, dear$2#1$ $MP#C$Mary." 
105:046,12[C  ]| "In$4$ marriage especially. With all due$2$ respect$0$ to$4$ such 
105:046,13[C  ]| of the present$2$ company as chance$1$ to$9$ be married, my dear$2#1$ 
105:046,14[C  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, there is not one in$4$ a hundred of either sex, 
105:046,15[C  ]| who$6#1$ is not taken in$5$ when they marry. Look$1$ where I will$1$, 
105:046,16[C  ]| I see that$3$ it \is\ so$5#2$; and I feel that$3$ it \must\ be so$5#2$, when 
105:046,17[C  ]| I consider that$3$ it is, of all transactions, the one in$4$ which$6#1$ 
105:046,18[C  ]| people expect most from others, and are least honest 
105:046,19[C  ]| themselves." 
105:046,20[N  ]| "Ah! You have been in$4$ a bad school for$4$ matrimony, 
105:046,21[N  ]| in$4$ Hill*Street." 
105:046,22[C  ]| "My poor aunt had certainly little cause to$9$ love$1$ the 
105:046,23[C  ]| state$0$; but, however, speaking from my own$2$ observation, 
105:046,24[C  ]| it is a mano*euvring business. I know so$5#1$ many who$6#1$ have 
105:046,25[C  ]| married in$4$ the full expectation and confidence of some 
105:046,26[C  ]| one particular advantage in$4$ the connection, or accomplishment 
105:046,27[C  ]| or good quality in$4$ the person, who$6#1$ have found 
105:046,28[C  ]| themselves entirely deceived, and been obliged to$9$ put up$5$ 
105:046,29[C  ]| with exactly the reverse! What is this, but a take*in?" 
105:046,30[N  ]| "My dear$2#1$ child, there must be a little imagination here. 
105:046,31[N  ]| I beg your pardon$0$, but I cannot quite believe you. 
105:046,32[N  ]| Depend upon$4$ it, you see but half. You see the evil, but 
105:046,33[N  ]| you do not see the consolation. There will$1$ be little rubs 
105:046,34[N  ]| and disappointments every*where, and we are all apt to$9$ 
105:046,35[N  ]| expect too$5#1$ much; but then, if one scheme$0$ of happiness 
105:046,36[N  ]| fails, human nature turns$1$ to$4$ another; if the first calculation 
105:046,37[N  ]| is wrong, we make$1$ a second$2$ better; we find comfort$0$ 
105:046,38[N  ]| somewhere ~~ and those evil-minded observers, dearest 
105:047,01[N  ]| $MP#C$Mary, who$6#1$ make$1$ much of a little, are more taken in$5$ and 
105:047,02[N  ]| deceived than the parties themselves." 
105:047,03[C  ]| "Well$5$ done, sister! I honour$1$ your \esprit*du*corps\. 
105:047,04[C  ]| When I am a wife, I mean$1$ to$9$ be just$5$ as staunch myself; 
105:047,05[C  ]| and I wish$1$ my friends in$4$ general$0$ would be so$5#2$ too$5#2$. It 
105:047,06[C  ]| would save$1$ me many a heart-ache." 
105:047,07[N  ]| "You are as bad as your brother, $MP#C$Mary; but we will$1$ 
105:047,08[N  ]| cure$1$ you both. Mansfield shall cure$1$ you both ~~ and without 
105:047,09[N  ]| any taking in$5$. Stay$1$ with us and we will$1$ cure$1$ you." 
105:047,10['  ]| The $MP#D1$Crawfords, without wanting to$9$ be cured, were very 
105:047,11['  ]| willing to$9$ stay$1$. $MP#C$Mary was satisfied with the parsonage 
105:047,12['  ]| as a present$2$ home, and $MP#D$Henry equally ready to$9$ lengthen 
105:047,13['  ]| his visit$0$. He had come, intending to$9$ spend only a few 
105:047,14['  ]| days with them, but 
105:047,14@d   | Mansfield promised well$5$, and there 
105:047,15@d   | was nothing to$9$ call$1$ him elsewhere. 
105:047,15['  ]| It delighted $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
105:047,16['  ]| to$9$ keep them both with her, and $MP#M$Dr%*Grant was exceedingly 
105:047,17['  ]| well$5$ contented to$9$ have it so$5#2$; a talking pretty$2$ young 
105:047,18['  ]| woman like$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, is always pleasant society to$4$ 
105:047,19['  ]| an indolent, stay-at-home man; and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's being$1$ 
105:047,20['  ]| his guest was an excuse$0$ for$4$ drinking claret every day. 
105:047,21['  ]| The $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams' admiration of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was 
105:047,22['  ]| more rapturous than any*thing which$6#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
105:047,23['  ]| habits made her likely to$9$ feel. She acknowledged, however, 
105:047,24['  ]| that$3$ 
105:047,24@c   | the $MP#G1$Mr%*Bertrams were very fine young men, 
105:047,25['  ]| that$3$ 
105:047,25@c   | two such young men were not often seen together 
105:047,26@c   | even$5$ in$4$ London, 
105:047,26['  ]| and that$3$ 
105:047,26@c   | their manners, particularly 
105:047,27@c   | those of the eldest, were very good. \He\ had been much in$4$ 
105:047,28@c   | London, and had more liveliness and gallantry than 
105:047,29@c   | $MP#B$Edmund, and must, therefore, be preferred; and, indeed, 
105:047,30@c   | his being$1$ the eldest was another strong claim$0$. She had 
105:047,31@c   | felt an early presentiment that$3$ she \should\ like$1$ the eldest 
105:047,32@c   | best. She knew it was her way. 
105:047,33['  ]| $MP#G$Tom*Bertram must have been thought$1$ pleasant, indeed, 
105:047,34['  ]| at any rate$0$; he was the sort of young man to$9$ be generally 
105:047,35['  ]| liked, his agreeableness was of the kind$0$ to$9$ be oftener 
105:047,36['  ]| found agreeable than some endowments of a higher 
105:047,37['  ]| stamp, for$3$ he had easy manners, excellent spirits, a large 
105:047,38['  ]| acquaintance, and a great deal$0$ to$9$ say; and the reversion 
105:048,01['  ]| of Mansfield*Park, and a baronetcy, did no$2$ harm$0$ to$4$ all 
105:048,02['  ]| this. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford soon felt, that$3$ 
105:048,02@c   | he and his situation 
105:048,03@c   | might do. 
105:048,03['  ]| She looked about$4$ her with due$2$ consideration, 
105:048,04['  ]| and found 
105:048,04@c   | almost every*thing in$4$ his favour$0$, a park, a real 
105:048,05@c   | park five miles round$5$, a spacious modern-built house, so$5#1$ 
105:048,06@c   | well$5$ placed and well$5$ screened as to$9$ deserve to$9$ be in$4$ any 
105:048,07@c   | collection of engravings of gentlemen's seats in$4$ the 
105:048,08@c   | kingdom, and wanting only to$9$ be completely new furnished ~~ 
105:048,09@c   | pleasant sisters, a quiet$2$ mother, and an agreeable 
105:048,10@c   | man himself ~~ with the advantage of being$1$ tied up$5$ from 
105:048,11@c   | much gaming at present$0#1$, by$4$ a promise$0$ to$4$ his father, 
105:048,12@c   | and of being$1$ $MP#G$Sir*Thomas hereafter. It might do very 
105:048,13@c   | well$5$; she believed she should accept him; and she 
105:048,14@c   | began accordingly to$9$ interest$1$ herself a little about$4$ the 
105:048,15@c   | horse which$6#1$ he had to$9$ run$1$ at the B**** races. 
105:048,16@c   | These races were to$9$ call$1$ him away not long after$3$ their 
105:048,17@c   | acquaintance began; and as it appeared that$3$ the family 
105:048,18@c   | did not, from his usual goings*on, expect him back$5$ again 
105:048,19@c   | for$4$ many weeks, it would bring his passion to$4$ an early 
105:048,20@c   | proof. 
105:048,20['  ]| Much was said on$4$ his side$0$ to$9$ induce her to$9$ attend 
105:048,21['  ]| the races, and schemes were made for$4$ a large party to$4$ 
105:048,22['  ]| them, with all the eagerness of inclination, but it would 
105:048,23['  ]| only do to$9$ be talked of. 
105:048,24['  ]| And $MP#A$Fanny, what was \she\ doing and thinking all this 
105:048,25['  ]| while$0$? and what was \her\ opinion of the new-comers? 
105:048,26['  ]| Few young ladies of eighteen could be less called on$5$ to$9$ 
105:048,27['  ]| speak their opinion than $MP#A$Fanny. In$4$ a quiet$2$ way, very 
105:048,28['  ]| little attended to$5$, she paid her tribute of admiration to$4$ 
105:048,29['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's beauty; but as she still$5$ continued to$9$ 
105:048,30['  ]| think $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford very plain, in$4$ spite$8$ of her two cousins 
105:048,31['  ]| having repeatedly proved the contrary, she never mentioned 
105:048,32['  ]| \him\. The notice$0$ which$6#1$ she excited herself, was 
105:048,33['  ]| to$4$ this effect$0$. 
105:048,33[C  ]| "I begin now to$9$ understand you all, 
105:048,34[C  ]| except $MP#A$Miss*Price," 
105:048,34['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, as she was walking 
105:048,35['  ]| with the $MP#G1$Mr%*Bertrams. 
105:048,35[C  ]| "Pray, is she out$5$, or is she not? 
105:048,36[C  ]| ~~ I am puzzled. ~~ She dined at the parsonage, with the 
105:048,37[C  ]| rest$0#1$ of you, which$6#1$ seemed like$4$ being$1$ \out$5$\; and yet she 
105:048,38[C  ]| says so$5#1$ little, that$3$ I can hardly suppose she \is\." 
105:049,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, to$4$ whom$6#1$ this was chiefly addressed, replied, 
105:049,02[B  ]| "I believe I know what you mean$1$ ~~ but I will$1$ not undertake 
105:049,03[B  ]| to$9$ answer$1$ the question$0$. My cousin is grown up$5$. 
105:049,04[B  ]| She has the age and sense of a woman, but the outs and 
105:049,05[B  ]| not outs are beyond$4$ me." 
105:049,06[C  ]| "And yet in$4$ general$0$, nothing can be more easily ascertained. 
105:049,07[C  ]| The distinction is so$5#1$ broad. Manners as well$5$ as 
105:049,08[C  ]| appearance are, generally speaking, so$5#1$ totally different. 
105:049,09[C  ]| Till now, I could not have supposed it possible to$9$ be mistaken 
105:049,10[C  ]| as to$4$ a girl's being$1$ out$5$ or not. A girl not out$5$, has 
105:049,11[C  ]| always the same sort of dress$0$; a close$2$ bonnet for$4$ instance$0$, 
105:049,12[C  ]| looks$1$ very demure, and never says a word. You may$1$ 
105:049,13[C  ]| smile$1$ ~~ but it is so$5#2$ I assure you ~~ and except that$3$ it is 
105:049,14[C  ]| sometimes carried a little too$5#1$ far, it is all very proper. 
105:049,15[C  ]| Girls should be quiet$2$ and modest. The most objectionable 
105:049,16[C  ]| part$0$ is, that$3$ the alteration of manners on$4$ being$1$ 
105:049,17[C  ]| introduced into company is frequently too$5#1$ sudden$2$. They 
105:049,18[C  ]| sometimes pass$1$ in$4$ such very little time from reserve$0$ to$4$ 
105:049,19[C  ]| quite the opposite ~~ to$4$ confidence! \That$6#2$\ is the faulty 
105:049,20[C  ]| part$0$ of the present$2$ system. One does not like$1$ to$9$ see 
105:049,21[C  ]| a girl of eighteen or nineteen so$5#1$ immediately up$5$ to$4$ every*thing ~~ 
105:049,22[C  ]| and perhaps when one has seen her hardly able to$9$ 
105:049,23[C  ]| speak the year before$5$. $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram, I dare$1#2$ say \you\ 
105:049,24[C  ]| have sometimes met with such changes$0$." 
105:049,25[G  ]| "I believe I have; but this is hardly fair; I see what 
105:049,26[G  ]| you are at. You are quizzing me and $MP#ZA$Miss*Anderson." 
105:049,27[C  ]| "No$7$ indeed. $MP#ZA$Miss*Anderson! I do not know who$6#1$ or 
105:049,28[C  ]| what you mean$1$. I am quite in$4$ the dark$0$. But I \will$1$\ 
105:049,29[C  ]| quiz you with a great deal$0$ of pleasure, if you will$1$ tell me 
105:049,30[C  ]| what about$4$." 
105:049,31[G  ]| "Ah! you carry it off very well$5$, but I cannot be quite 
105:049,32[G  ]| so$5#1$ far imposed on$5$. You must have had $MP#ZA$Miss*Anderson in$4$ 
105:049,33[G  ]| your eye, in$4$ describing an altered young lady. You 
105:049,34[G  ]| paint too$5#1$ accurately for$4$ mistake$0$. It was exactly so$5#2$. 
105:049,35[G  ]| The $MP#ZA$Andersons of Baker*Street. We were speaking of 
105:049,36[G  ]| them the other day, you know. $MP#B$Edmund, you have heard 
105:049,37[G  ]| me mention$1$ $MP#ZA$Charles*Anderson. The circumstance was 
105:049,38[G  ]| precisely as this lady has represented it. When $MP#ZA$Anderson 
105:050,01[G  ]| first introduced me to$4$ his family, about$4$ two years ago, his 
105:050,02[G  ]| sister was not \out$5$\, and I could not get her to$9$ speak to$4$ me. 
105:050,03[G  ]| I sat there an hour one morning waiting for$4$ $MP#ZA$Anderson, 
105:050,04[G  ]| with only her and a little girl or two in$4$ the room ~~ the 
105:050,05[G  ]| governess being$1$ sick or run$1$ away, and the mother in$5$ and 
105:050,06[G  ]| out$5$ every moment with letters of business; and I could 
105:050,07[G  ]| hardly get a word or a look$0$ from the young lady ~~ nothing 
105:050,08[G  ]| like$4$ a civil answer$0$ ~~ she screwed up$5$ her mouth, and turned 
105:050,09[G  ]| from me with such an air! I did not see her again for$4$ 
105:050,10[G  ]| a twelvemonth. She was then \out$5$\. I met her at $MP#ZN$Mrs%*Holford's ~~ 
105:050,11[G  ]| and did not recollect her. She came up$5$ to$4$ me, 
105:050,12[G  ]| claimed me as an acquaintance, stared me out$5$ of countenance, 
105:050,13[G  ]| and talked and laughed till I did not know which$6#1$ 
105:050,14[G  ]| way to$9$ look$1$. I felt that$3$ I must be the jest of the room 
105:050,15[G  ]| at the time ~~ and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, it is plain, has heard 
105:050,16[G  ]| the story." 
105:050,17[C  ]| "And a very pretty$2$ story it is, and with more truth in$4$ 
105:050,18[C  ]| it, I dare$1#2$ say, than does credit$0$ to$4$ $MP#ZA$Miss*Anderson. It is 
105:050,19[C  ]| too$5#1$ common$2$ a fault. Mothers certainly have not yet got 
105:050,20[C  ]| quite the right$2#1$ way of managing their daughters. I do 
105:050,21[C  ]| not know where the error lies$1$. I do not pretend to$9$ set$1$ 
105:050,22[C  ]| people right$2#1$, but I do see that$3$ they are often wrong." 
105:050,23[G  ]| "Those who$6#1$ are showing the world what female$2$ manners 
105:050,24[G  ]| \should\ \be\," 
105:050,24['  ]| said $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram, gallantly, 
105:050,24[G  ]| "are doing 
105:050,25[G  ]| a great deal$0$ to$9$ set$1$ them right$2#1$." 
105:050,26[B  ]| "The error is plain enough," 
105:050,26['  ]| said the less courteous 
105:050,27['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund; 
105:050,27[B  ]| "such girls are ill brought up$5$. They are 
105:050,28[B  ]| given wrong notions from the beginning. They are 
105:050,29[B  ]| always acting upon$4$ motives of vanity ~~ and there is no$2$ 
105:050,30[B  ]| more real modesty in$4$ their behaviour \before$3$\ they appear 
105:050,31[B  ]| in$4$ public$0$ than afterwards." 
105:050,32[C  ]| "I do not know," 
105:050,32['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford hesitatingly. 
105:050,33[C  ]| "Yes, I cannot agree with you there. It is certainly the 
105:050,34[C  ]| modestest part$0$ of the business. It is much worse to$9$ 
105:050,35[C  ]| have girls \not\ \out$5$\, give themselves the same airs and take 
105:050,36[C  ]| the same liberties as if they were, which$6#1$ I \have\ seen done. 
105:050,37[C  ]| \That$6#2$\ is worse than any*thing ~~ quite disgusting!" 
105:050,38[G  ]| "Yes, \that$6#2$\ is very inconvenient indeed," 
105:050,38['  ]| said $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram. 
105:051,01[G  ]| "It leads one astray; one does not know what to$9$ 
105:051,02[G  ]| do. The close$2$ bonnet and demure air you describe so$5#1$ 
105:051,03[G  ]| well$5$, (and nothing was ever juster,) tell one what is 
105:051,04[G  ]| expected; but I got into a dreadful scrape last$2$ year from 
105:051,05[G  ]| the want$0$ of them. I went down$5$ to$4$ Ramsgate for$4$ a week 
105:051,06[G  ]| with a friend last$2$ September ~~ just$5$ after$4$ my return$0$ from 
105:051,07[G  ]| the West*Indies ~~ my friend $MP#ZZH$Sneyd ~~ you have heard me 
105:051,08[G  ]| speak of $MP#ZZH$Sneyd, $MP#B$Edmund; his father and mother and 
105:051,09[G  ]| sisters were there, all new to$4$ me. When we reached Albion*place 
105:051,10[G  ]| they were out$5$; we went after$4$ them, and found 
105:051,11[G  ]| them on$4$ the pier. $MP#ZZH$Mrs% and the two $MP#ZZH$Miss*Sneyds, with 
105:051,12[G  ]| others of their acquaintance. I made my bow$0#1$ in$4$ form$0$, 
105:051,13[G  ]| and as $MP#ZZH$Mrs%*Sneyd was surrounded by$4$ men, attached 
105:051,14[G  ]| myself to$4$ one of her daughters, walked by$4$ her side$0$ all the 
105:051,15[G  ]| way home, and made myself as agreeable as I could; the 
105:051,16[G  ]| young lady perfectly easy in$4$ her manners, and as ready 
105:051,17[G  ]| to$9$ talk$1$ as to$9$ listen. I had not a suspicion that$3$ I could 
105:051,18[G  ]| be doing any*thing wrong. They looked just$5$ the same; 
105:051,19[G  ]| both well$5$ dressed, with veils and parasols like$4$ other girls; 
105:051,20[G  ]| but I afterwards found that$3$ I had been giving all my 
105:051,21[G  ]| attention to$4$ the youngest, who$6#1$ was not \out$5$\, and had most 
105:051,22[G  ]| excessively offended the eldest. $MP#ZZH$Miss*Augusta ought not 
105:051,23[G  ]| to$9$ have been noticed for$4$ the next six months, and $MP#ZZH$Miss*Sneyd, 
105:051,24[G  ]| I believe, has never forgiven me." 
105:051,25[C  ]| "That$6#2$ was bad indeed. Poor $MP#ZZH$Miss*Sneyd! Though 
105:051,26[C  ]| I have no$2$ younger sister, I feel for$4$ her. To$9$ be neglected 
105:051,27[C  ]| before$4$ one's time, must be very vexatious. But it was 
105:051,28[C  ]| entirely the mother's fault. $MP#ZZH$Miss*Augusta should have 
105:051,29[C  ]| been with her governess. Such half and half doings never 
105:051,30[C  ]| prosper. But now I must be satisfied about$4$ $MP#A$Miss*Price. 
105:051,31[C  ]| Does she go to$4$ balls? Does she dine out$5$ every*where, as 
105:051,32[C  ]| well$5$ as at my sister's?" 
105:051,33[B  ]| "No$7$," 
105:051,33['  ]| replied $MP#B$Edmund, 
105:051,33[B  ]| "I do not think she has ever 
105:051,34[B  ]| been to$4$ a ball$0#2$. My mother seldom goes into company 
105:051,35[B  ]| herself, and dines no*where but with $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, and 
105:051,36[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny stays at home with \her\." 
105:051,37[C  ]| "Oh! then the point$0$ is clear$2$. $MP#A$Miss*Price is \not\ out$5$." 
106:052,01['  ]| $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram set$1$ off for$4$ ****, and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
106:052,02@c   | was prepared to$9$ find a great chasm in$4$ their society, and 
106:052,03@c   | to$9$ miss him decidedly in$4$ the meetings which$6#1$ were now 
106:052,04@c   | becoming almost daily between the families; 
106:052,04['  ]| and on$4$ 
106:052,05['  ]| their all dining together at the park soon after$4$ his going, 
106:052,06['  ]| she retook her chosen place$0$ near$4$ the bottom of the table, 
106:052,07@c   | fully expecting to$9$ feel a most melancholy$2$ difference in$4$ 
106:052,08@c   | the change$0$ of masters. It would be a very flat business, 
106:052,09@c   | she was sure. In$4$ comparison with his brother, $MP#B$Edmund 
106:052,10@c   | would have nothing to$9$ say. The soup would be sent 
106:052,11@c   | round$5$ in$4$ a most spiritless manner, wine drank without 
106:052,12@c   | any smiles, or agreeable trifling, and the venison cut$1$ up$5$ 
106:052,13@c   | without supplying one pleasant anecdote of any former 
106:052,14@c   | haunch, or a single entertaining story about$4$ "my friend 
106:052,15@c   | such a one." She must try to$9$ find amusement in$4$ what 
106:052,16@c   | was passing at the upper end$0$ of the table, and in$4$ observing 
106:052,17@c   | $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
106:052,17['  ]| who$6#1$ was now making his appearance at 
106:052,18['  ]| Mansfield, for$4$ the first time since the $MP#D1$Crawfords' arrival. 
106:052,19['  ]| He had been visiting a friend in$4$ a neighbouring county, 
106:052,20['  ]| and that$6#2$ friend having recently had his grounds laid out$5$ 
106:052,21['  ]| by$4$ an improver, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was returned with his 
106:052,22['  ]| head$0$ full of the subject$0$, and very eager to$9$ be improving 
106:052,23['  ]| his own$2$ place$0$ in$4$ the same way; and though not saying 
106:052,24['  ]| much to$4$ the purpose, could talk$1$ of nothing else. The 
106:052,25['  ]| subject$0$ had been already handled in$4$ the drawing-room; 
106:052,26['  ]| it was revived in$4$ the dining-parlour. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram's 
106:052,27['  ]| attention and opinion was evidently his chief aim$0$; and 
106:052,28['  ]| though her deportment showed rather conscious superiority 
106:052,29['  ]| than any solicitude to$9$ oblige him, the mention$0$ of Sotherton*Court, 
106:052,30['  ]| and the ideas attached to$4$ it, gave her a feeling 
106:052,31['  ]| of complacency, which$6#1$ prevented her from being$1$ very 
106:052,32['  ]| ungracious. 
106:053,01[K  ]| "I wish$1$ you could see Compton," 
106:053,01['  ]| said he, 
106:053,01[K  ]| "it is the 
106:053,02[K  ]| most complete$2$ thing! I never saw a place$0$ so$5#1$ altered in$4$ 
106:053,03[K  ]| my life. I told $MP#ZZJ$Smith I did not know where I was. The 
106:053,04[K  ]| approach$0$ \now\ is one of the finest things in$4$ the country. 
106:053,05[K  ]| You see the house in$4$ the most surprising manner. I declare 
106:053,06[K  ]| when I got back$5$ to$4$ Sotherton yesterday, it looked like$4$ 
106:053,07[K  ]| a prison ~~ quite a dismal old prison." 
106:053,08[J  ]| "Oh! for$4$ shame$0$!" 
106:053,08['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris. 
106:053,08[J  ]| "A prison, 
106:053,09[J  ]| indeed! Sotherton*Court is the noblest old place$0$ in$4$ the 
106:053,10[J  ]| world." 
106:053,11[K  ]| "It wants$1$ improvement, ma'am, beyond$4$ any*thing. 
106:053,12[K  ]| I never saw a place$0$ that$6#1$ wanted so$5#1$ much improvement in$4$ 
106:053,13[K  ]| my life; and it is so$5#1$ forlorn, that$3$ I do not know what can 
106:053,14[K  ]| be done with it." 
106:053,15[N  ]| "No$2$ wonder$0$ that$3$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth should think so$5#2$ at 
106:053,16[N  ]| present$0#1$," 
106:053,16['  ]| said $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant to$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, with a smile$0$; 
106:053,17[N  ]| "but depend upon$4$ it, Sotherton will$1$ have \every\ improvement 
106:053,18[N  ]| in$4$ time which$6#1$ his heart can desire$1$." 
106:053,19[K  ]| "I must try to$9$ do something with it," 
106:053,19['  ]| said $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
106:053,20[K  ]| "but I do not know what. I hope$1$ I shall have 
106:053,21[K  ]| some good friend to$9$ help$1$ me." 
106:053,22[H  ]| "Your best friend upon$4$ such an occasion$0$," 
106:053,22['  ]| said $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, 
106:053,23['  ]| calmly, 
106:053,23[H  ]| "would be $MP#Z1$Mr%*Repton, I imagine." 
106:053,24[K  ]| "That$6#2$ is what I was thinking of. As he has done so$5#1$ 
106:053,25[K  ]| well$5$ by$4$ $MP#ZZJ$Smith, I think I had better have him at once. His 
106:053,26[K  ]| terms are five guineas a day." 
106:053,27[J  ]| "Well$7$, and if they were \ten\," 
106:053,27['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
106:053,27[J  ]| "I am 
106:053,28[J  ]| sure \you\ need$1$ not regard$1$ it. The expense need$1$ not be 
106:053,29[J  ]| any impediment. If I were you, I should not think of 
106:053,30[J  ]| the expense. I would have every*thing done in$4$ the best 
106:053,31[J  ]| style, and made as nice as possible. Such a place$0$ as 
106:053,32[J  ]| Sotherton*Court deserves every*thing that$6#1$ taste and 
106:053,33[J  ]| money can do. You have space to$9$ work$1$ upon$4$ there, and 
106:053,34[J  ]| grounds that$6#1$ will$1$ well$5$ reward$1$ you. For$4$ my own$2$ part$0$, if 
106:053,35[J  ]| I had any*thing within the fiftieth part$0$ of the size of 
106:053,36[J  ]| Sotherton, I should be always planting and improving, 
106:053,37[J  ]| for$3$ naturally I am excessively fond of it. It would be 
106:053,38[J  ]| too$5#1$ ridiculous for$4$ me to$9$ attempt$1$ any*thing where I am 
106:054,01[J  ]| now, with my little half acre. It would be quite a burlesque. 
106:054,02[J  ]| But if I had more room, I should take a prodigious 
106:054,03[J  ]| delight$0$ in$4$ improving and planting. We did a vast deal$0$ 
106:054,04[J  ]| in$4$ that$6#2$ way at the parsonage; we made it quite a different 
106:054,05[J  ]| place$0$ from what it was when we first had it. You young 
106:054,06[J  ]| ones do not remember much about$4$ it, perhaps. But if 
106:054,07[J  ]| dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas were here, he could tell you what improvements 
106:054,08[J  ]| we made; and a great deal$0$ more would have been 
106:054,09[J  ]| done, but for$4$ poor $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris's sad state$0$ of health. He 
106:054,10[J  ]| could hardly ever get out$5$, poor man, to$9$ enjoy any*thing, 
106:054,11[J  ]| and \that$6#2$\ disheartened me from doing several things that$6#1$ 
106:054,12[J  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas and I used to$9$ talk$1$ of. If it had not been for$4$ 
106:054,13[J  ]| \that$6#2$\, we should have carried on$5$ the garden wall, and made 
106:054,14[J  ]| the plantation to$9$ shut out$5$ the churchyard, just$5$ as $MP#M$Dr%*Grant 
106:054,15[J  ]| has done. We were always doing something, as it 
106:054,16[J  ]| was. It was only the spring$0$ twelvemonth before$4$ $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris's 
106:054,17[J  ]| death, that$3$ we put in$5$ the apricot against the 
106:054,18[J  ]| stable wall, which$6#1$ is now grown such a noble tree, and 
106:054,19[J  ]| getting to$4$ such perfection, sir," 
106:054,19['  ]| addressing herself then to$4$ 
106:054,20['  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant. 
106:054,21[M  ]| "The tree thrives well$5$ beyond$4$ a doubt$0$, madam," 
106:054,21['  ]| replied 
106:054,22['  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant. 
106:054,22[M  ]| "The soil is good; and I never pass$1$ it without 
106:054,23[M  ]| regretting, that$3$ the fruit should be so$5#1$ little worth 
106:054,24[M  ]| the trouble$0$ of gathering." 
106:054,25[J  ]| "Sir, it is a moor*park, we bought it as a moor*park, 
106:054,26[J  ]| and it cost$1$ us ~~ that$6#2$ is, it was a present$0#2$ from $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
106:054,27[J  ]| but I saw the bill, and I know it cost$1$ seven shillings, and 
106:054,28[J  ]| was charged as a moor*park." 
106:054,29[M  ]| "You were imposed on$5$, ma'am," 
106:054,29['  ]| replied $MP#M$Dr%*Grant; 
106:054,30[M  ]| "these potatoes have as much the flavour of a moor*park 
106:054,31[M  ]| apricot, as the fruit from that$6#2$ tree. It is an insipid fruit 
106:054,32[M  ]| at the best; but a good apricot is eatable, which$6#1$ none 
106:054,33[M  ]| from my garden are." 
106:054,34[N  ]| "The truth is, ma'am," 
106:054,34['  ]| said $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, pretending to$9$ 
106:054,35['  ]| whisper$1$ across$4$ the table to$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
106:054,35[N  ]| "that$3$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant 
106:054,36[N  ]| hardly knows what the natural$2$ taste of our apricot is; he 
106:054,37[N  ]| is scarcely ever indulged with one, for$3$ it is so$5#1$ valuable 
106:054,38[N  ]| a fruit, with a little assistance, and ours is such a remarkably 
106:055,01[N  ]| large, fair sort, that$3$ with early tarts and preserves, 
106:055,02[N  ]| my cook contrives to$9$ get them all." 
106:055,03['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ had begun to$9$ redden, was appeased, 
106:055,04['  ]| and, for$4$ a little while$0$, other subjects took place$0$ of the 
106:055,05['  ]| improvements of Sotherton. $MP#M$Dr%*Grant and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
106:055,06['  ]| were seldom good friends; their acquaintance had begun 
106:055,07['  ]| in$4$ dilapidations, and their habits were totally dissimilar. 
106:055,08['  ]| After$4$ a short interruption, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth began again. 
106:055,09[K  ]| "$MP#ZZJ$Smith's place$0$ is the admiration of all the country; and 
106:055,10[K  ]| it was a mere nothing before$3$ $MP#Z1$Repton took it in$4$ hand$0$. 
106:055,11[K  ]| I think I shall have $MP#Z1$Repton." 
106:055,12[F  ]| "$MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth," 
106:055,12['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
106:055,12[F  ]| "if I were you, 
106:055,13[F  ]| I would have a very pretty$2$ shrubbery. One likes to$9$ get 
106:055,14[F  ]| out$5$ into a shrubbery in$4$ fine weather." 
106:055,15['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was eager to$9$ assure her ladyship of his 
106:055,16['  ]| acquiescence, and tried to$9$ make$1$ out$5$ something complimentary; 
106:055,17['  ]| but between his submission to$4$ \her\ taste, and 
106:055,18['  ]| his having always intended the same himself, with the 
106:055,19['  ]| super-added objects$0$ of professing attention to$4$ the comfort$0$ 
106:055,20['  ]| of ladies in$4$ general$0$, and of insinuating, that$3$ there was one 
106:055,21['  ]| only whom$6#1$ he was anxious to$9$ please, he grew puzzled; 
106:055,22['  ]| and $MP#B$Edmund was glad to$9$ put an end$0$ to$4$ his speech by$4$ 
106:055,23['  ]| a proposal of wine. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, however, though 
106:055,24['  ]| not usually a great talker, had still$5$ more to$9$ say on$4$ the 
106:055,25['  ]| subject$0$ next his heart. 
106:055,25[K  ]| "$MP#ZZJ$Smith has not much above$4$ 
106:055,26[K  ]| a hundred acres altogether in$4$ his grounds, which$6#1$ is little 
106:055,27[K  ]| enough, and makes it more surprising that$3$ the place$0$ can 
106:055,28[K  ]| have been so$5#1$ improved. Now, at Sotherton, we have 
106:055,29[K  ]| a good seven hundred, without reckoning the water 
106:055,30[K  ]| meadows; so$3$ that$3$ I think, if so$5#1$ much could be done at 
106:055,31[K  ]| Compton, we need$1$ not despair$1$. There have been two or 
106:055,32[K  ]| three fine old trees cut$1$ down$5$ that$6#1$ grew too$5#1$ near$4$ the house, 
106:055,33[K  ]| and it opens the prospect amazingly, which$6#1$ makes me 
106:055,34[K  ]| think that$3$ $MP#Z1$Repton, or any*body of that$6#2$ sort, would 
106:055,35[K  ]| certainly have the avenue at Sotherton down$5$; the avenue 
106:055,36[K  ]| that$6#1$ leads from the west front$0$ to$4$ the top of the hill you 
106:055,37[K  ]| know," 
106:055,37['  ]| turning to$4$ $MP#H$Miss*Bertram particularly as he spoke. 
106:055,38['  ]| But $MP#H$Miss*Bertram thought$1$ it most becoming to$9$ reply$1$: 
106:056,01[H  ]| "The avenue! Oh! I do not recollect it. I really know 
106:056,02[H  ]| very little of Sotherton." 
106:056,03['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ was sitting on$4$ the other side$0$ of $MP#B$Edmund, 
106:056,04['  ]| exactly opposite $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, and who$6#1$ had been attentively 
106:056,05['  ]| listening, now looked at him, and said in$4$ a low voice, 
106:056,06[A  ]| "Cut$1$ down$5$ an avenue! What a pity$0$! Does not it make$1$ 
106:056,07[A  ]| you think of $MP#Z1$Cowper? 
106:056,07@z   | ""Ye fallen avenues, once more 
106:056,08@z   | I mourn your fate unmerited.""" 
106:056,09['  ]| He smiled as he answered, 
106:056,09[B  ]| "I am afraid the avenue 
106:056,10[B  ]| stands a bad chance$0$, $MP#A$Fanny." 
106:056,11[A  ]| "I should like$1$ to$9$ see Sotherton before$3$ it is cut$1$ down$5$, 
106:056,12[A  ]| to$9$ see the place$0$ as it is now, in$4$ its old state$0$; but I do 
106:056,13[A  ]| not suppose I shall." 
106:056,14[B  ]| "Have you never been there? No$7$, you never can; and 
106:056,15[B  ]| unluckily it is out$5$ of distance$0$ for$4$ a ride$0$. I wish$1$ we could 
106:056,16[B  ]| contrive it." 
106:056,17[A  ]| "Oh! it does not signify. Whenever I do see it, you 
106:056,18[A  ]| will$1$ tell me how it has been altered." 
106:056,19[C  ]| "I collect," 
106:056,19['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
106:056,19[C  ]| "that$3$ Sotherton is 
106:056,20[C  ]| an old place$0$, and a place$0$ of some grandeur. In$4$ any 
106:056,21[C  ]| particular style of building?" 
106:056,22[B  ]| "The house was built in$4$ $MP#Z1$Elizabeth's time, and is a large, 
106:056,23[B  ]| regular, brick building ~~ heavy, but respectable looking, 
106:056,24[B  ]| and has many good rooms. It is ill placed. It stands in$4$ 
106:056,25[B  ]| one of the lowest spots of the park; in$4$ that$6#2$ respect$0$, 
106:056,26[B  ]| unfavourable for$4$ improvement. But the woods are fine, 
106:056,27[B  ]| and there is a stream, which$6#1$, I dare$1#2$ say, might be made 
106:056,28[B  ]| a good deal$0$ of. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is quite right$2#1$, I think, in$4$ 
106:056,29[B  ]| meaning to$9$ give it a modern dress$0$, and I have no$2$ doubt$0$ 
106:056,30[B  ]| that$3$ it will$1$ be all done extremely well$5$." 
106:056,31['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford listened with submission, and said to$4$ 
106:056,32['  ]| herself, 
106:056,32[C  ]| "He is a well*bred man; he makes the best of it." 
106:056,33[B  ]| "I do not wish$1$ to$9$ influence$1$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth," 
106:056,33['  ]| he continued, 
106:056,34[B  ]| "but had I a place$0$ to$9$ new fashion$1$, I should not put 
106:056,35[B  ]| myself into the hands of an improver. I would rather 
106:056,36[B  ]| have an inferior degree of beauty, of my own$2$ choice$0$, and 
106:056,37[B  ]| acquired progressively. I would rather abide by$4$ my 
106:056,38[B  ]| own$2$ blunders than by$4$ his." 
106:057,01[C  ]| "\You\ would know what you were about$4$ of course$8$ ~~ but 
106:057,02[C  ]| that$6#2$ would not suit$1$ \me\. I have no$2$ eye or ingenuity for$4$ 
106:057,03[C  ]| such matters, but as they are before$4$ me; and had I a place$0$ 
106:057,04[C  ]| of my own$2$ in$4$ the country, I should be most thankful to$4$ 
106:057,05[C  ]| any $MP#Z1$Mr%*Repton who$6#1$ would undertake it, and give me as 
106:057,06[C  ]| much beauty as he could for$4$ my money; and I should 
106:057,07[C  ]| never look$1$ at it, till it was complete$2$." 
106:057,08[A  ]| "It would be delightful to$4$ \me\ to$9$ see the progress of it 
106:057,09[A  ]| all," 
106:057,09['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny. 
106:057,10[C  ]| "Ay ~~ you have been brought up$5$ to$4$ it. It was no$2$ part$0$ 
106:057,11[C  ]| of my education; and the only dose I ever had, being$1$ 
106:057,12[C  ]| administered by$4$ not the first favourite$0$ in$4$ the world, has 
106:057,13[C  ]| made me consider improvements \in$4$\ \hand$0$\ as the greatest 
106:057,14[C  ]| of nuisances. Three years ago, the $MP#ZF$admiral, my honoured 
106:057,15[C  ]| uncle, bought a cottage at Twickenham for$4$ us all to$9$ spend 
106:057,16[C  ]| our summers in$4$; and my aunt and I went down$5$ to$4$ it 
106:057,17[C  ]| quite in$4$ raptures; but it being$1$ excessively pretty$2$, it was 
106:057,18[C  ]| soon found necessary to$9$ be improved; and for$4$ three 
106:057,19[C  ]| months we were all dirt and confusion, without a gravel 
106:057,20[C  ]| walk$0$ to$9$ step$1$ on$5$, or a bench fit$2$ for$4$ use$0$. I would have 
106:057,21[C  ]| every*thing as complete$2$ as possible in$4$ the country, shrubberies 
106:057,22[C  ]| and flower gardens, and rustic seats innumerable; 
106:057,23[C  ]| but it must be all done without my care$0$. $MP#D$Henry is 
106:057,24[C  ]| different, he loves to$9$ be doing." 
106:057,25['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was sorry to$9$ hear $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, whom$6#1$ he 
106:057,26['  ]| was much disposed to$9$ admire, speak so$5#1$ freely of her uncle. 
106:057,27['  ]| It did not suit$1$ his sense of propriety, and he was silenced, 
106:057,28['  ]| till induced by$4$ further smiles and liveliness, to$9$ put the 
106:057,29['  ]| matter by$5$ for$4$ the present$0#1$. 
106:057,30[C  ]| "$MP#B$Mr%*Bertram," 
106:057,30['  ]| said she, 
106:057,30[C  ]| "I have tidings of my harp 
106:057,31[C  ]| at last$0$.  I am assured that$3$ it is safe at Northampton; 
106:057,32[C  ]| and there it has probably been these ten days, in$4$ spite$8$ of 
106:057,33[C  ]| the solemn assurances we have so$5#1$ often received to$4$ the 
106:057,34[C  ]| contrary." 
106:057,34['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund expressed his pleasure and surprise$0$. 
106:057,35[C  ]| "The truth is, that$3$ our inquiries were too$5#1$ direct$2$; we 
106:057,36[C  ]| sent a servant, we went ourselves: this will$1$ not do seventy 
106:057,37[C  ]| miles from London ~~ but this morning we heard of it in$4$ 
106:057,38[C  ]| the right$2#1$ way. It was seen by$4$ some farmer, and he told 
106:058,01[C  ]| the miller, and the miller told the butcher, and the butcher's 
106:058,02[C  ]| son-in-law left word at the shop." 
106:058,03[B  ]| "I am very glad that$3$ you have heard of it, by$4$ whatever 
106:058,04[B  ]| means$0$; and hope$1$ there will$1$ be no$2$ farther delay$0$." 
106:058,05[C  ]| "I am to$9$ have it to*morrow; but how do you think 
106:058,06[C  ]| it is to$9$ be conveyed? Not by$4$ a waggon or cart; ~~ Oh! no$7$, 
106:058,07[C  ]| nothing of that$6#2$ kind$0$ could be hired in$4$ the village. I might 
106:058,08[C  ]| as well$5$ have asked for$4$ porters and a hand-barrow." 
106:058,09[B  ]| "You would find it difficult, I dare$1#2$ say, just$5$ now, in$4$ the 
106:058,10[B  ]| middle of a very late hay harvest, to$9$ hire$1$ a horse and 
106:058,11[B  ]| cart?" 
106:058,12[C  ]| "I was astonished to$9$ find what a piece of work$0$ was 
106:058,13[C  ]| made of it! To$9$ want$1$ a horse and cart in$4$ the country 
106:058,14[C  ]| seemed impossible, so$3$ I told my maid to$9$ speak for$4$ one 
106:058,15[C  ]| directly; and as I cannot look$1$ out$5$ of my dressing-closet 
106:058,16[C  ]| without seeing one farm*yard, nor walk$1$ in$4$ the shrubbery 
106:058,17[C  ]| without passing another, I thought$1$ it would be only ask 
106:058,18[C  ]| and have, and was rather grieved that$3$ I could not give 
106:058,19[C  ]| the advantage to$4$ all. Guess$1$ my surprise$0$, when I found 
106:058,20[C  ]| that$3$ I had been asking the most unreasonable, most 
106:058,21[C  ]| impossible thing in$4$ the world, had offended all the farmers, 
106:058,22[C  ]| all the labourers, all the hay in$4$ the parish. As for$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant's 
106:058,23[C  ]| bailiff, I believe I had better keep out$5$ of \his\ way; 
106:058,24[C  ]| and my brother-in-law himself, who$6#1$ is all kindness in$4$ 
106:058,25[C  ]| general$0$, looked rather black upon$4$ me, when he found 
106:058,26[C  ]| what I had been at." 
106:058,27[B  ]| "You could not be expected to$9$ have thought$1$ on$4$ the 
106:058,28[B  ]| subject$0$ before$5$, but when you \do\ think of it, you must see 
106:058,29[B  ]| the importance of getting in$4$ the grass. The hire$0$ of a cart 
106:058,30[B  ]| at any time, might not be so$5#1$ easy as you suppose; our 
106:058,31[B  ]| farmers are not in$4$ the habit of letting them out$5$; but in$4$ 
106:058,32[B  ]| harvest, it must be quite out$5$ of their power to$9$ spare$1$ a 
106:058,33[B  ]| horse." 
106:058,34[C  ]| "I shall understand all your ways in$4$ time; but coming 
106:058,35[C  ]| down$5$ with the true London maxim, that$3$ every*thing is to$9$ 
106:058,36[C  ]| be got with money, I was a little embarrassed at first by$4$ 
106:058,37[C  ]| the sturdy independence of your country customs. However, 
106:058,38[C  ]| I am to$9$ have my harp fetched to-morrow. $MP#D$Henry, 
106:059,01[C  ]| who$6#1$ is good-nature itself, has offered to$9$ fetch it in$4$ his 
106:059,02[C  ]| barouche. Will$1$ it not be honourably conveyed?" 
106:059,03['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund spoke of the harp as his favourite$2$ instrument, 
106:059,04['  ]| and hoped to$9$ be soon allowed to$9$ hear her. $MP#A$Fanny had 
106:059,05['  ]| never heard the harp at all, and wished for$4$ it very much. 
106:059,06[C  ]| "I shall be most happy to$9$ play$1$ to$4$ you both," 
106:059,06['  ]| said 
106:059,07['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; 
106:059,07[C  ]| "at least, as long as you can like$1$ to$9$ listen; 
106:059,08[C  ]| probably much longer, for$3$ I dearly$5#1$ love$1$ music myself, and 
106:059,09[C  ]| where the natural$2$ taste is equal$2$, the player must always 
106:059,10[C  ]| be best off, for$3$ she is gratified in$4$ more ways than one. 
106:059,11[C  ]| Now, $MP#B$Mr%*Bertram, if you write to$4$ your brother, I entreat 
106:059,12[C  ]| you to$9$ tell him that$3$ my harp \is\ come, he heard so$5#1$ much 
106:059,13[C  ]| of my misery about$4$ it. And you may$1$ say, if you please, 
106:059,14[C  ]| that$3$ I shall prepare my most plaintive airs against his 
106:059,15[C  ]| return$0$, in$4$ compassion to$4$ his feelings, as I know his horse 
106:059,16[C  ]| will$1$ lose." 
106:059,17[B  ]| "If I write, I will$1$ say whatever you wish$1$ me; but I do 
106:059,18[B  ]| not at present$0#1$ foresee any occasion$0$ for$4$ writing." 
106:059,19[C  ]| "No$7$, I dare$1#2$ say, nor if he were to$9$ be gone a twelvemonth, 
106:059,20[C  ]| would you ever write to$4$ him, nor he to$4$ you, if it could 
106:059,21[C  ]| be helped. The occasion$0$ would never be foreseen. What 
106:059,22[C  ]| strange creatures brothers are! You would not write to$4$ 
106:059,23[C  ]| each other but upon$4$ the most urgent necessity in$4$ the 
106:059,24[C  ]| world; and when obliged to$9$ take up$5$ the pen to$9$ say that$3$ 
106:059,25[C  ]| such a horse is ill, or such a relation dead, it is done in$4$ the 
106:059,26[C  ]| fewest possible words. You have but one style among you. 
106:059,27[C  ]| I know it perfectly. $MP#D$Henry, who$6#1$ is in$4$ every other respect$0$ 
106:059,28[C  ]| exactly what a brother should be, who$6#1$ loves me, consults 
106:059,29[C  ]| me, confides in$4$ me, and will$1$ talk$1$ to$4$ me by$4$ the hour 
106:059,30[C  ]| together, has never yet turned the page in$4$ a letter; and 
106:059,31[C  ]| very often it is nothing more than, ""Dear$2#1$ $MP#C$Mary, I am 
106:059,32[C  ]| just$5$ arrived. Bath$0#1$ seems full, and every*thing as usual. 
106:059,33[C  ]| Your's sincerely."" That$6#2$ is the true manly style; that$6#2$ is 
106:059,34[C  ]| a complete$2$ brother's letter." 
106:059,35[A  ]| "When they are at a distance$0$ from all their family," 
106:059,36['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, colouring for$4$ $MP#Q$William's sake, 
106:059,36[A  ]| "they can 
106:059,37[A  ]| write long letters." 
106:059,38[B  ]| "$MP#A$Miss*Price has a brother at sea," 
106:059,38['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
106:060,01[B  ]| "whose$6#1$ excellence as a correspondent, makes her think 
106:060,02[B  ]| you too$5#1$ severe upon$4$ us." 
106:060,03[C  ]| "At sea, has she? ~~ In$4$ the King's service of course$8$." 
106:060,04['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny would rather have had $MP#B$Edmund tell the story, 
106:060,05['  ]| but his determined silence$0$ obliged her to$9$ relate her brother's 
106:060,06['  ]| situation; her voice was animated in$4$ speaking of 
106:060,07['  ]| his profession$0#2$, and the foreign stations he had been on$4$, 
106:060,08['  ]| but she could not mention$1$ the number of years that$6#1$ he 
106:060,09['  ]| had been absent without tears in$4$ her eyes. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
106:060,10['  ]| civilly wished him an early promotion. 
106:060,11[B  ]| "Do you know any*thing of my cousin's captain?" 
106:060,12['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund; 
106:060,12[B  ]| "$MP#ZV$Captain*Marshall? You have a large 
106:060,13[B  ]| acquaintance in$4$ the navy, I conclude?" 
106:060,14[C  ]| "Among Admirals, large enough; but," 
106:060,14['  ]| with an air 
106:060,15['  ]| of grandeur; 
106:060,15[C  ]| "we know very little of the inferior ranks. 
106:060,16[C  ]| Post captains may$1$ be very good sort of men, but they do 
106:060,17[C  ]| not belong to$4$ \us\. Of various admirals, I could tell you 
106:060,18[C  ]| a great deal$0$; of them and their flags, and the gradation 
106:060,19[C  ]| of their pay$0$, and their bickerings and jealousies. But in$4$ 
106:060,20[C  ]| general$0$, I can assure you that$3$ they are all passed over, 
106:060,21[C  ]| and all very ill*used. Certainly, my home at my uncle's 
106:060,22[C  ]| brought me acquainted with a circle of admirals. Of 
106:060,23[C  ]| \Rears\, and \Vices\, I saw enough. Now, do not be suspecting 
106:060,24[C  ]| me of a pun, I entreat." 
106:060,25['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund again felt grave$2$, and only replied, 
106:060,25[B  ]| "It is a noble 
106:060,26[B  ]| profession$0#2$." 
106:060,27[C  ]| "Yes, the profession$0#2$ is well$5$ enough under two circumstances; 
106:060,28[C  ]| if it make$1$ the fortune, and there be discretion 
106:060,29[C  ]| in$4$ spending it. But, in$4$ short, it is not a favourite$2$ profession$0#2$ 
106:060,30[C  ]| of mine$6$. It has never worn an amiable form$0$ 
106:060,31[C  ]| to$4$ \me\." 
106:060,32['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund reverted to$4$ the harp, and was again very 
106:060,33['  ]| happy in$4$ the prospect of hearing her play$1$. 
106:060,34['  ]| The subject$0$ of improving grounds meanwhile was still$5$ 
106:060,35['  ]| under consideration among the others; and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
106:060,36['  ]| could not help$1$ addressing her brother, though it was 
106:060,37['  ]| calling his attention from $MP#I$Miss*Julia*Bertram. 
106:060,37[N  ]| "My 
106:060,38[N  ]| dear$2#1$ $MP#D$Henry, have \you\ nothing to$9$ say? You have been 
106:061,01[N  ]| an improver yourself, and from what I hear of Everingham, 
106:061,02[N  ]| it may$1$ vie with any place$0$ in$4$ England. Its natural$2$ 
106:061,03[N  ]| beauties, I am sure, are great. Everingham as it \used\ 
106:061,04[N  ]| to$9$ be was perfect$2$ in$4$ my estimation; such a happy fall$0$ of 
106:061,05[N  ]| ground, and such timber! What would not I give to$9$ see 
106:061,06[N  ]| it again!" 
106:061,07[D  ]| "Nothing could be so$5#1$ gratifying to$4$ me as to$9$ hear your 
106:061,08[D  ]| opinion of it," 
106:061,08['  ]| was his answer$0$. 
106:061,08[D  ]| "But I fear$1$ there would 
106:061,09[D  ]| be some disappointment. You would not find it equal$2$ 
106:061,10[D  ]| to$4$ your present$2$ ideas. In$4$ extent it is a mere nothing ~~ 
106:061,11[D  ]| you would be surprised at its insignificance; and as for$4$ 
106:061,12[D  ]| improvement, there was very little for$4$ me to$9$ do; too$5#1$ 
106:061,13[D  ]| little ~~ I should like$1$ to$9$ have been busy much longer." 
106:061,14[I  ]| "You are fond of the sort of thing?" 
106:061,14['  ]| said $MP#I$Julia. 
106:061,15[D  ]| "Excessively: but what with the natural$2$ advantages 
106:061,16[D  ]| of the ground, which$6#1$ pointed out$5$ even$5$ to$4$ a very young 
106:061,17[D  ]| eye what little remained to$9$ be done, and my own$2$ consequent 
106:061,18[D  ]| resolutions, I had not been of age three months 
106:061,19[D  ]| before$3$ Everingham was all that$6#1$ it is now. My plan was 
106:061,20[D  ]| laid at Westminster ~~ a little altered perhaps at Cambridge, 
106:061,21[D  ]| and at one*and*twenty executed. I am inclined to$9$ envy$1$ 
106:061,22[D  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth for$4$ having so$5#1$ much happiness yet before$4$ 
106:061,23[D  ]| him. I have been a devourer of my own$2$." 
106:061,24[I  ]| "Those who$6#1$ see quickly, will$1$ resolve$1$ quickly and act$1$ 
106:061,25[I  ]| quickly," 
106:061,25['  ]| said $MP#I$Julia. 
106:061,25[I  ]| "\You\ can never want$1$ employment. 
106:061,26[I  ]| Instead of envying $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, you should assist him 
106:061,27[I  ]| with your opinion." 
106:061,28['  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant hearing the latter part$0$ of this speech, enforced 
106:061,29['  ]| it warmly, persuaded that$3$ no$2$ judgment could be 
106:061,30['  ]| equal$2$ to$4$ her brother's; and as $MP#H$Miss*Bertram caught at 
106:061,31['  ]| the idea likewise, and gave it her full support$0$, declaring 
106:061,32['  ]| that$3$ 
106:061,32@h   | in$4$ her opinion it was infinitely better to$9$ consult with 
106:061,33@h   | friends and disinterested advisers, than immediately to$9$ 
106:061,34@h   | throw$1$ the business into the hands of a professional man, 
106:061,35['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was very ready to$9$ request$1$ the favour$0$ of 
106:061,36['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's assistance; and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford after$4$ properly 
106:061,37['  ]| depreciating his own$2$ abilities, was quite at his service 
106:061,38['  ]| in$4$ any way that$6#1$ could be useful. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth then 
106:062,01['  ]| began to$9$ propose $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's doing him the honour$0$ of 
106:062,02['  ]| coming over to$4$ Sotherton, and taking a bed there; when 
106:062,03['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, as if reading in$4$ her two nieces' minds their 
106:062,04['  ]| little approbation of a plan which$6#1$ was to$9$ take $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
106:062,05['  ]| away, interposed with an amendment. 
106:062,05[J  ]| "There can 
106:062,06[J  ]| be no$2$ doubt$0$ of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's willingness; but why 
106:062,07[J  ]| should not more of us go? ~~ Why should not we make$1$ 
106:062,08[J  ]| a little party? Here are many that$6#1$ would be interested 
106:062,09[J  ]| in$4$ your improvements, my dear$2#1$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, and 
106:062,10[J  ]| that$6#1$ would like$1$ to$9$ hear $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's opinion on$4$ the 
106:062,11[J  ]| spot, and that$6#1$ might be of some small use$0$ to$4$ you with 
106:062,12[J  ]| \their\ opinions; and for$4$ my own$2$ part$0$ I have been long 
106:062,13[J  ]| wishing to$9$ wait upon$4$ your good mother again; nothing 
106:062,14[J  ]| but having no$2$ horses of my own$2$, could have made me so$5#1$ 
106:062,15[J  ]| remiss; but now I could go and sit a few hours with 
106:062,16[J  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth while$3$ the rest$0#1$ of you walked about$5$ and 
106:062,17[J  ]| settled things, and then we could all return$1$ to$4$ a late dinner 
106:062,18[J  ]| here, or dine at Sotherton just$5$ as might be most agreeable 
106:062,19[J  ]| to$4$ your mother, and have a pleasant drive$0$ home by$4$ moonlight. 
106:062,20[J  ]| I dare$1#2$ say $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford would take my two 
106:062,21[J  ]| nieces and me in$4$ his barouche, and $MP#B$Edmund can go on$4$ 
106:062,22[J  ]| horseback, you know, sister, and $MP#A$Fanny will$1$ stay$1$ at home 
106:062,23[J  ]| with you." 
106:062,24['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram made no$2$ objection, and every*one concerned 
106:062,25['  ]| in$4$ the going, was forward$5$ in$4$ expressing their ready 
106:062,26['  ]| concurrence, excepting $MP#B$Edmund, who$6#1$ heard it all and 
106:062,27['  ]| said nothing. 
107:063,01[B  ]| "Well$7$ $MP#A$Fanny, and how do you like$1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
107:063,02[B  ]| \now\?" 
107:063,02['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund the next day, after$4$ thinking some 
107:063,03['  ]| time on$4$ the subject$0$ himself. 
107:063,03[B  ]| "How did you like$1$ her 
107:063,04[B  ]| yesterday?" 
107:063,05[A  ]| "Very well$5$ ~~ very much. I like$1$ to$9$ hear her talk$1$. 
107:063,06[A  ]| She entertains me; and she is so$5#1$ extremely pretty$2$, that$3$ 
107:063,07[A  ]| I have great pleasure in$4$ looking at her." 
107:063,08[B  ]| "It is her countenance that$6#1$ is so$5#1$ attractive. She has 
107:063,09[B  ]| a wonderful play$0$ of feature! But was there nothing in$4$ her 
107:063,10[B  ]| conversation that$6#1$ struck you $MP#A$Fanny, as not quite right$2#1$?" 
107:063,11[A  ]| "Oh! yes, she ought not to$9$ have spoken of her uncle 
107:063,12[A  ]| as she did. I was quite astonished. An uncle with whom$6#1$ 
107:063,13[A  ]| she has been living so$5#1$ many years, and who$6#1$, whatever his 
107:063,14[A  ]| faults may$1$ be, is so$5#1$ very fond of her brother, treating him, 
107:063,15[A  ]| they say, quite like$4$ a son. I could not have believed it!" 
107:063,16[B  ]| "I thought$1$ you would be struck. It was very wrong ~~ 
107:063,17[B  ]| very indecorous." 
107:063,18[A  ]| "And very ungrateful I think." 
107:063,19[B  ]| "Ungrateful is a strong word. I do not know that$3$ her 
107:063,20[B  ]| uncle has any claim$0$ to$4$ her \gratitude\; his wife certainly 
107:063,21[B  ]| had; and it is the warmth of her respect$0$ for$4$ her aunt's 
107:063,22[B  ]| memory which$6#1$ misleads her here. She is awkwardly 
107:063,23[B  ]| circumstanced. With such warm$2$ feelings and lively 
107:063,24[B  ]| spirits it must be difficult to$9$ do justice to$4$ her affection for$4$ 
107:063,25[B  ]| $MP#ZF$Mrs%*Crawford, without throwing a shade on$4$ the $MP#ZF$admiral. 
107:063,26[B  ]| I do not pretend to$9$ know which$6#1$ was most to$9$ blame$1$ in$4$ 
107:063,27[B  ]| their disagreements, though the $MP#ZF$admiral's present$2$ conduct$0$ 
107:063,28[B  ]| might incline one to$4$ the side$0$ of his wife: but it is natural$2$ 
107:063,29[B  ]| and amiable that$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford should acquit her aunt 
107:063,30[B  ]| entirely. I do not censure$1$ her \opinions\; but there 
107:063,31[B  ]| certainly \is\ impropriety in$4$ making them public$2$." 
107:063,32[A  ]| "Do not you think," 
107:063,32['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, after$4$ a little consideration, 
107:063,33[A  ]| "that$3$ this impropriety is a reflection itself upon$4$ 
107:064,01[A  ]| $MP#ZF$Mrs%*Crawford, as her niece has been entirely brought up$5$ 
107:064,02[A  ]| by$4$ her? She cannot have given her right$2#1$ notions of what 
107:064,03[A  ]| was due$2$ to$4$ the $MP#ZF$admiral." 
107:064,04[B  ]| "That$6#2$ is a fair remark$0$. Yes, we must suppose the 
107:064,05[B  ]| faults of the niece to$9$ have been those of the aunt; and it 
107:064,06[B  ]| makes one more sensible$2#1$ of the disadvantages she has 
107:064,07[B  ]| been under. But I think her present$2$ home must do her 
107:064,08[B  ]| good. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's manners are just$5$ what they ought 
107:064,09[B  ]| to$9$ be. She speaks of her brother with a very pleasing 
107:064,10[B  ]| affection." 
107:064,11[A  ]| "Yes, except as to$4$ his writing her such short letters. 
107:064,12[A  ]| She made me almost laugh$1$; but I cannot rate$1$ so$5#1$ very 
107:064,13[A  ]| highly the love$0$ or good*nature of a brother, who$6#1$ will$1$ not 
107:064,14[A  ]| give himself the trouble$0$ of writing any*thing worth 
107:064,15[A  ]| reading, to$4$ his sisters, when they are separated. I am 
107:064,16[A  ]| sure $MP#Q$William would never have used \me\ so$5#2$, under any 
107:064,17[A  ]| circumstances. And what right$0$ had she to$9$ suppose, that$3$ 
107:064,18[A  ]| \you\ would not write long letters when you were absent?" 
107:064,19[B  ]| "The right$0$ of a lively mind$0$, $MP#A$Fanny, seizing whatever 
107:064,20[B  ]| may$1$ contribute to$4$ its own$2$ amusement or that$6#2$ of others; 
107:064,21[B  ]| perfectly allowable, when untinctured by$4$ ill*humour or 
107:064,22[B  ]| roughness; and there is not a shadow of either in$4$ the 
107:064,23[B  ]| countenance or manner of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, nothing sharp, 
107:064,24[B  ]| or loud, or coarse. She is perfectly feminine, except in$4$ 
107:064,25[B  ]| the instances we have been speaking of. \There\ she 
107:064,26[B  ]| cannot be justified. I am glad you saw it all as I did." 
107:064,27['  ]| Having formed her mind$0$ and gained her affections, 
107:064,28['  ]| he had a good chance$0$ of her thinking like$4$ him; though 
107:064,29['  ]| at this period, and on$4$ this subject$0$, there began now to$9$ 
107:064,30['  ]| be some danger of dissimilarity, for$3$ he was in$4$ a line of 
107:064,31['  ]| admiration of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, which$6#1$ might lead$1$ him 
107:064,32['  ]| where $MP#A$Fanny could not follow. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's attractions 
107:064,33['  ]| did not lessen. The harp arrived, and rather added 
107:064,34['  ]| to$4$ her beauty, wit, and good*humour, for$3$ she played 
107:064,35['  ]| with the greatest obligingness, with an expression and 
107:064,36['  ]| taste which$6#1$ were peculiarly becoming, and there was 
107:064,37['  ]| something clever to$9$ be said at the close$0$ of every air. 
107:064,38['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was at the parsonage every day to$9$ be indulged 
107:065,01['  ]| with his favourite$2$ instrument; one morning secured an 
107:065,02['  ]| invitation for$4$ the next, for$3$ the lady could not be unwilling 
107:065,03['  ]| to$9$ have a listener, and every*thing was soon in$4$ a fair 
107:065,04['  ]| train. 
107:065,05['  ]| A young woman, pretty$2$, lively, with a harp as elegant 
107:065,06['  ]| as herself; and both placed near$4$ a window, cut$1$ down$5$ 
107:065,07['  ]| to$4$ the ground, and opening on$4$ a little lawn, surrounded 
107:065,08['  ]| by$4$ shrubs in$4$ the rich foliage of summer, was enough to$9$ 
107:065,09['  ]| catch$1$ any man's heart. The season, the scene, the air, 
107:065,10['  ]| were all favourable to$4$ tenderness and sentiment. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
107:065,11['  ]| and her tambour frame were not without their 
107:065,12['  ]| use$0$; it was all in$4$ harmony; and as every*thing will$1$ 
107:065,13['  ]| turn$1$ to$4$ account$0$ when love$0$ is once set$1$ going, even$5$ the 
107:065,14['  ]| sandwich tray, and $MP#M$Dr%*Grant doing the honours of it, 
107:065,15['  ]| were worth looking at. Without studying the business, 
107:065,16['  ]| however, or knowing what he was about$4$, $MP#B$Edmund was 
107:065,17['  ]| beginning at the end$0$ of a week of such intercourse, to$9$ be 
107:065,18['  ]| a good deal$0$ in$4$ love$0$; and to$4$ the credit$0$ of the lady it may$1$ 
107:065,19['  ]| be added, that$3$ without his being$1$ a man of the world or 
107:065,20['  ]| an elder brother, without any of the arts of flattery or 
107:065,21['  ]| the gaieties of small talk$0$, he began to$4$ be agreeable to$9$ her. 
107:065,22['  ]| She felt it to$9$ be so$5#2$, though she had not foreseen and could 
107:065,23['  ]| hardly understand it; for$3$ 
107:065,23@c   | he was not pleasant by$4$ any 
107:065,24@c   | common$2$ rule, he talked no$2$ nonsense, he paid no$2$ compliments, 
107:065,25@c   | his opinions were unbending, his attentions 
107:065,26@c   | tranquil and simple$2$. 
107:065,26['  ]| There was a charm$0$, perhaps, in$4$ his 
107:065,27['  ]| sincerity, his steadiness, his integrity, which$6#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
107:065,28['  ]| might be equal$2$ to$9$ feel, though not equal$2$ to$9$ discuss 
107:065,29['  ]| with herself. She did not think very much about$4$ it, 
107:065,30['  ]| however; 
107:065,30@c   | he pleased her for$4$ the present$0#1$; she liked to$9$ 
107:065,31@c   | have him near$4$ her; it was enough. 
107:065,32@a   | $MP#A$Fanny could not wonder$1$ that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund was at the 
107:065,33@a   | parsonage every morning; she would gladly have been 
107:065,34@a   | there too$5#2$, might she have gone in$5$ uninvited and unnoticed 
107:065,35@a   | to$9$ hear the harp; neither could she wonder$1$, that$3$ when 
107:065,36@a   | the evening stroll was over, and the two families parted 
107:065,37@a   | again, he should think it right$2#1$ to$9$ attend $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and 
107:065,38@a   | her sister to$4$ their home, while$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was devoted 
107:066,01@a   | to$4$ the ladies of the park; but she thought$1$ it a very bad 
107:066,02@a   | exchange$0$, and if $MP#B$Edmund were not there to$9$ mix the wine 
107:066,03@a   | and water for$4$ her, would rather go without it than not. 
107:066,04@a   | She was a little surprised that$3$ he could spend so$5#1$ many 
107:066,05@a   | hours with $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, and not see more of the sort 
107:066,06@a   | of fault which$6#1$ he had already observed, and of which$6#1$ \she\ 
107:066,07@a   | was almost always reminded by$4$ a something of the same 
107:066,08@a   | nature whenever she was in$4$ her company; but so$5#2$ it was. 
107:066,09@a   | $MP#B$Edmund was fond of speaking to$4$ her of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
107:066,10@a   | but he seemed to$9$ think it enough that$3$ the $MP#ZF$admiral had 
107:066,11@a   | since been spared; and she scrupled to$9$ point$1$ out$5$ her 
107:066,12@a   | own$2$ remarks to$4$ him, lest it should appear like$4$ ill-nature. 
107:066,13['  ]| The first actual pain$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford occasioned her, 
107:066,14['  ]| was the consequence of an inclination to$9$ learn to$9$ ride$1$, 
107:066,15['  ]| which$6#1$ the former caught soon after$4$ her being$1$ settled at 
107:066,16['  ]| Mansfield from the example of the young ladies at the 
107:066,17['  ]| park, and which$6#1$, when $MP#B$Edmund's acquaintance with her 
107:066,18['  ]| increased, led to$4$ his encouraging the wish$0$, and the offer$0$ 
107:066,19['  ]| of his own$2$ quiet$2$ mare for$4$ the purpose of her first attempts, 
107:066,20['  ]| as the best fitted for$4$ a beginner that$6#1$ either stable could 
107:066,21['  ]| furnish. No$2$ pain$0$, no$2$ injury, however, was designed by$4$ 
107:066,22['  ]| him to$4$ his cousin in$4$ this offer$0$: 
107:066,22@b   | \she\ was not to$9$ lose a day's 
107:066,23@b   | exercise$0$ by$4$ it. The mare was only to$9$ be taken down$5$ 
107:066,24@b   | to$4$ the parsonage half an hour before$3$ her ride$0$ were to$9$ 
107:066,25@b   | begin; 
107:066,25['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny, on$4$ its being$1$ first proposed, so$5#1$ far 
107:066,26['  ]| from feeling slighted, was almost overpowered with 
107:066,27['  ]| gratitude that$3$ he should be asking her leave$0$ for$4$ it. 
107:066,28['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford made her first essay with great credit$0$ 
107:066,29['  ]| to$4$ herself, and no$2$ inconvenience to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny. $MP#B$Edmund, 
107:066,30['  ]| who$6#1$ had taken down$5$ the mare and presided at the whole$0$, 
107:066,31['  ]| returned with it in$4$ excellent time, before$3$ either $MP#A$Fanny 
107:066,32['  ]| or the steady old coachman, who$6#1$ always attended her 
107:066,33['  ]| when she rode without her cousins, were ready to$9$ set$1$ 
107:066,34['  ]| forward$5$. The second$2$ day's trial was not so$5#1$ guiltless. 
107:066,35['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's enjoyment of riding was such, that$3$ she 
107:066,36['  ]| did not know how to$9$ leave$1$ off. Active and fearless, and, 
107:066,37['  ]| though rather small, strongly made, she seemed formed 
107:066,38['  ]| for$4$ a horsewoman; and to$4$ the pure genuine pleasure of 
107:067,01['  ]| the exercise$0$, something was probably added in$4$ $MP#B$Edmund's 
107:067,02['  ]| attendance and instructions, and something more in$4$ the 
107:067,03['  ]| conviction of very much surpassing her sex in$4$ general$0$ 
107:067,04['  ]| by$4$ her early progress, to$9$ make$1$ her unwilling to$9$ dismount. 
107:067,05['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was ready and waiting, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was 
107:067,06['  ]| beginning to$9$ scold her for$4$ not being$1$ gone, and still$5$ no$2$ 
107:067,07['  ]| horse was announced, no$2$ $MP#B$Edmund appeared. To$9$ avoid 
107:067,08['  ]| her aunt, and look$1$ for$4$ him, she went out$5$. 
107:067,09['  ]| The houses, though scarcely half a mile apart, were 
107:067,10['  ]| not within sight of each other; but by$4$ walking fifty 
107:067,11['  ]| yards from the hall door, she could look$1$ down$4$ the park, 
107:067,12['  ]| and command$1$ a view$0$ of the parsonage and all its demesnes, 
107:067,13['  ]| gently rising beyond$4$ the village road; and in$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant's 
107:067,14['  ]| meadow she immediately saw the group ~~ 
107:067,14@a   | $MP#B$Edmund and 
107:067,15@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford both on$4$ horseback, riding side$0$ by$4$ side$0$, 
107:067,16@a   | $MP#M$Dr% and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, with two or three 
107:067,17@a   | grooms, standing about$5$ and looking on$5$. A happy party 
107:067,18@a   | it appeared to$4$ her ~~ all interested in$4$ one object$0$ ~~ cheerful 
107:067,19@a   | beyond$4$ a doubt$0$, for$3$ the sound$0$ of merriment ascended 
107:067,20@a   | even$5$ to$4$ her. It was a sound$0$ which$6#1$ did not make$1$ \her\ 
107:067,21@a   | cheerful; she wondered that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund should forget her, 
107:067,22@a   | and felt a pang. She could not turn$1$ her eyes from the 
107:067,23@a   | meadow, she could not help$1$ watching all that$6#1$ passed. 
107:067,24@a   | At first $MP#C$Miss*Crawford and her companion made the 
107:067,25@a   | circuit of the field, which$6#1$ was not small, at a foot's pace$0$; 
107:067,26@a   | then, at \her\ apparent suggestion, they rose$1$ into a canter; 
107:067,27['  ]| and to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's timid nature 
107:067,27@a   | it was most astonishing to$9$ 
107:067,28@a   | see how well$5$ she sat. After$4$ a few minutes, they stopt 
107:067,29@a   | entirely, $MP#B$Edmund was close$5$ to$4$ her, he was speaking to$4$ 
107:067,30@a   | her, he was evidently directing her management of the 
107:067,31@a   | bridle, he had hold$0$ of her hand$0$; 
107:067,31['  ]| she saw it, or the imagination 
107:067,32['  ]| supplied what the eye could not reach$1$. 
107:067,32@a   | She must 
107:067,33@a   | not wonder$1$ at all this; what could be more natural$2$ than 
107:067,34@a   | that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund should be making himself useful, and 
107:067,35@a   | proving his good-nature by$4$ any*one? She could not but 
107:067,36@a   | think indeed that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford might as well$5$ have saved 
107:067,37@a   | him the trouble$0$; that$3$ it would have been particularly 
107:067,38@a   | proper and becoming in$4$ a brother to$9$ have done it himself; 
107:068,01@a   | but $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, with all his boasted$2$ good-nature, and 
107:068,02@a   | all his coachmanship, probably knew nothing of the 
107:068,03@a   | matter, and had no$2$ active kindness in$4$ comparison of 
107:068,04@a   | $MP#B$Edmund. She began to$9$ think it rather hard upon$4$ the 
107:068,05@a   | mare to$9$ have such double$2$ duty; if she were forgotten 
107:068,06@a   | the poor mare should be remembered. 
107:068,07['  ]| Her feelings for$4$ one and the other were soon a little 
107:068,08['  ]| tranquillized, by$4$ seeing the party in$4$ the meadow disperse, 
107:068,09['  ]| and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford still$5$ on$4$ horseback, but attended by$4$ 
107:068,10['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund on$4$ foot, pass$1$ through$4$ a gate into the lane, and 
107:068,11['  ]| so$3$ into the park, and make$1$ towards the spot where she 
107:068,12['  ]| stood. She began then to$9$ be afraid of appearing rude 
107:068,13['  ]| and impatient; and walked to$9$ meet$1$ them with a great 
107:068,14['  ]| anxiety to$9$ avoid the suspicion. 
107:068,15[C  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Miss*Price," 
107:068,15['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, as soon as 
107:068,16['  ]| she was at all within hearing, 
107:068,16[C  ]| "I am come to$9$ make$1$ my 
107:068,17[C  ]| own$2$ apologies for$4$ keeping you waiting ~~ but I have 
107:068,18[C  ]| nothing in$4$ the world to$9$ say for$4$ myself ~~ I knew it was very 
107:068,19[C  ]| late, and that$3$ I was behaving extremely ill; and, therefore, 
107:068,20[C  ]| if you please, you must forgive me. Selfishness 
107:068,21[C  ]| must always be forgiven you know, because there is no$2$ 
107:068,22[C  ]| hope$0$ of a cure$0$." 
107:068,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's answer$0$ was extremely civil, and $MP#B$Edmund 
107:068,24['  ]| added his conviction that$3$ she could be in$4$ no$2$ hurry$0$. 
107:068,25[B  ]| "For$3$ there is more than time enough for$4$ my cousin to$9$ 
107:068,26[B  ]| ride$1$ twice as far as she ever goes," 
107:068,26['  ]| said he, 
107:068,26[B  ]| "and you 
107:068,27[B  ]| have been promoting her comfort$0$ by$4$ preventing her 
107:068,28[B  ]| from setting off half an hour sooner; clouds are now 
107:068,29[B  ]| coming up$5$, and she will$1$ not suffer from the heat$0$ as she 
107:068,30[B  ]| would have done then. I wish$1$ \you\ may$1$ not be fatigued 
107:068,31[B  ]| by$4$ so$5#1$ much exercise$0$. I wish$1$ you had saved yourself this 
107:068,32[B  ]| walk$0$ home." 
107:068,33[C  ]| "No$2$ part$0$ of it fatigues$1$ me but getting off this horse, 
107:068,34[C  ]| I assure you," 
107:068,34['  ]| said she, as she sprang down$5$ with his help$1$; 
107:068,35[C  ]| "I am very strong. Nothing ever fatigues$1$ me, but 
107:068,36[C  ]| doing what I do not like$1$. $MP#A$Miss*Price, I give way to$4$ you 
107:068,37[C  ]| with a very bad grace$0$; but I sincerely hope$1$ you will$1$ 
107:068,38[C  ]| have a pleasant ride$0$, and that$3$ I may$1$ have nothing 
107:069,01[C  ]| but good to$9$ hear of this dear$2#1$, delightful, beautiful 
107:069,02[C  ]| animal." 
107:069,03['  ]| The old coachman, who$6#1$ had been waiting about$5$ with 
107:069,04['  ]| his own$2$ horse, now joining them, $MP#A$Fanny was lifted on$4$ 
107:069,05['  ]| her's, and they set$1$ off across$4$ another part$0$ of the park; 
107:069,06['  ]| her feelings of discomfort not lightened by$4$ seeing, as she 
107:069,07['  ]| looked back$5$, that$3$ the others were walking down$4$ the hill 
107:069,08['  ]| together to$4$ the village; nor did her attendant do her 
107:069,09['  ]| much good by$4$ his comments on$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's great 
107:069,10['  ]| cleverness as a horsewoman, which$6#1$ he had been watching 
107:069,11['  ]| with an interest$0$ almost equal$2$ to$4$ her own$2$. 
107:069,12[W  ]| "It is a pleasure to$9$ see a lady with such a good heart 
107:069,13[W  ]| for$4$ riding!" 
107:069,13['  ]| said he. 
107:069,13[W  ]| "I never see one sit a horse 
107:069,14[W  ]| better. She did not seem to$9$ have a thought$0$ of fear$0$. 
107:069,15[W  ]| Very different from you, $MP#A$miss, when you first began, six 
107:069,16[W  ]| years ago come next Easter. Lord$7$ bless me! how you 
107:069,17[W  ]| did tremble$1$ when $MP#E$Sir*Thomas first had you put on$5$!" 
107:069,18['  ]| In$4$ the drawing-room $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was also celebrated. 
107:069,19['  ]| Her merit$0$ in$4$ being$1$ gifted by$4$ nature with 
107:069,20['  ]| strength and courage was fully appreciated by$4$ the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams; 
107:069,21['  ]| her delight$0$ in$4$ riding was like$4$ their own$2$; 
107:069,22['  ]| her early excellence in$4$ it was like$4$ their own$2$, and they 
107:069,23['  ]| had great pleasure in$4$ praising it. 
107:069,24[I  ]| "I was sure she would ride$1$ well$5$," 
107:069,24['  ]| said $MP#I$Julia; 
107:069,24[I  ]| "she 
107:069,25[I  ]| has the make$0$ for$4$ it. Her figure is as neat as her brother's." 
107:069,26[H  ]| "Yes," 
107:069,26['  ]| added $MP#H$Maria, 
107:069,26[H  ]| "and her spirits are as good, 
107:069,27[H  ]| and she has the same energy of character. I cannot 
107:069,28[H  ]| but think that$3$ good horsemanship has a great deal$0$ to$9$ do 
107:069,29[H  ]| with the mind$0$." 
107:069,30['  ]| When they parted at night, $MP#B$Edmund asked $MP#A$Fanny 
107:069,31['  ]| whether she meant to$9$ ride$1$ the next day. 
107:069,32[A  ]| "No$7$, I do not know, not if you want$1$ the mare," 
107:069,32['  ]| was 
107:069,33['  ]| her answer$0$. 
107:069,34[B  ]| "I do not want$1$ her at all for$4$ myself," 
107:069,34['  ]| said he; 
107:069,34[B  ]| "but 
107:069,35[B  ]| whenever you are next inclined to$9$ stay$1$ at home, I think 
107:069,36[B  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford would be glad to$9$ have her for$4$ a longer 
107:069,37[B  ]| time ~~ for$4$ a whole$2$ morning in$4$ short. She has a great 
107:069,38[B  ]| desire$0$ to$9$ get as far as Mansfield*common, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
107:070,01[B  ]| has been telling her of its fine views, and I have no$2$ doubt$0$ 
107:070,02[B  ]| of her being$1$ perfectly equal$2$ to$4$ it. But any morning 
107:070,03[B  ]| will$1$ do for$4$ this. She would be extremely sorry to$9$ interfere 
107:070,04[B  ]| with you. It would be very wrong if she did. ~~ \She\ 
107:070,05[B  ]| rides$1$ only for$4$ pleasure, \you\ for$4$ health." 
107:070,06[A  ]| "I shall not ride$1$ to-morrow, certainly," 
107:070,06['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny; 
107:070,07[A  ]| "I have been out$5$ very often lately, and would rather 
107:070,08[A  ]| stay$1$ at home. You know I am strong enough now to$9$ 
107:070,09[A  ]| walk$1$ very well$5$." 
107:070,10['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund looked pleased, which$6#1$ must be $MP#A$Fanny's comfort$0$, 
107:070,11['  ]| and the ride$0$ to$4$ Mansfield*common took place$0$ the next 
107:070,12['  ]| morning; ~~ the party included all the young people but 
107:070,13['  ]| herself, and was much enjoyed at the time, and doubly 
107:070,14['  ]| enjoyed again in$4$ the evening discussion. A successful 
107:070,15['  ]| scheme$0$ of this sort generally brings on$5$ another; and the 
107:070,16['  ]| having been to$4$ Mansfield-common, disposed them all for$4$ 
107:070,17['  ]| going somewhere else the day after$5$. There were many 
107:070,18['  ]| other views to$9$ be shewn, and though the weather was 
107:070,19['  ]| hot, there were shady lanes wherever they wanted to$9$ go. 
107:070,20['  ]| A young party is always provided with a shady lane. 
107:070,21['  ]| Four fine mornings successively were spent in$4$ this manner, 
107:070,22['  ]| in$4$ shewing the $MP#D1$Crawfords the country, and doing the 
107:070,23['  ]| honours of its finest spots. Every*thing answered; it 
107:070,24['  ]| was all gaiety and good-humour, the heat$0$ only supplying 
107:070,25['  ]| inconvenience enough to$9$ be talked of with pleasure ~~ till 
107:070,26['  ]| the fourth day, when the happiness of one of the party 
107:070,27['  ]| was exceedingly clouded. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram was the one. 
107:070,28['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#I$Julia were invited to$9$ dine at the parsonage, 
107:070,29['  ]| and \she\ was excluded. It was meant and done by$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, 
107:070,30['  ]| with perfect$2$ good*humour, on$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
107:070,31['  ]| account$0$, who$6#1$ was partly expected at the park that$6#2$ day; 
107:070,32['  ]| but it was felt as a very grievous injury, and her good 
107:070,33['  ]| manners were severely taxed to$9$ conceal her vexation 
107:070,34['  ]| and anger$0$, till she reached home. As $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
107:070,35['  ]| did \not\ come, the injury was increased, and she had not 
107:070,36['  ]| even$5$ the relief of shewing her power over him; she could 
107:070,37['  ]| only be sullen to$4$ her mother, aunt, and cousin, and throw$1$ 
107:070,38['  ]| as great a gloom as possible over their dinner and dessert. 
107:071,01['  ]| Between ten and eleven, $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#I$Julia walked 
107:071,02['  ]| into the drawing-room, fresh with the evening air, 
107:071,03['  ]| glowing and cheerful, the very reverse of what they 
107:071,04['  ]| found in$4$ the three ladies sitting there, for$3$ $MP#H$Maria would 
107:071,05['  ]| scarcely raise her eyes from her book, and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
107:071,06['  ]| was half asleep; and even$5$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, discomposed by$4$ 
107:071,07['  ]| her niece's ill-humour, and having asked one or two 
107:071,08['  ]| questions about$4$ the dinner, which$6#1$ were not immediately 
107:071,09['  ]| attended to$5$, seemed almost determined to$9$ say no$2$ more. 
107:071,10['  ]| For$4$ a few minutes, the brother and sister were too$5#1$ eager 
107:071,11['  ]| in$4$ their praise$0$ of the night and their remarks on$4$ the stars, 
107:071,12['  ]| to$9$ think beyond$4$ themselves; but when the first pause$0$ 
107:071,13['  ]| came, $MP#B$Edmund, looking around$5$, said, 
107:071,13[B  ]| "But where is 
107:071,14[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ Is she gone to$4$ bed?" 
107:071,15[J  ]| "No$7$, not that$6#2$ I know of," 
107:071,15['  ]| replied $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris; 
107:071,15[J  ]| "she 
107:071,16[J  ]| was here a moment ago." 
107:071,17['  ]| Her own$2$ gentle voice speaking from the other end$0$ of 
107:071,18['  ]| the room, which$6#1$ was a very long one, told them that$3$ she 
107:071,19['  ]| was on$4$ the sofa. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris began scolding. 
107:071,20[J  ]| "That$6#2$ is a very foolish trick$0$, $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ be idling away 
107:071,21[J  ]| all the evening upon$4$ a sofa. Why cannot you come and 
107:071,22[J  ]| sit here, and employ yourself as \we\ do? ~~ If you have 
107:071,23[J  ]| no$2$ work$0$ of your own$2$, I can supply$1$ you from the poor-basket. 
107:071,24[J  ]| There is all the new calico that$6#1$ was bought last$2$ 
107:071,25[J  ]| week, not touched yet. I am sure I almost broke my 
107:071,26[J  ]| back$0$ by$4$ cutting it out$5$. You should learn to$9$ think of 
107:071,27[J  ]| other people; and take my word for$4$ it, it is a shocking 
107:071,28[J  ]| trick$0$ for$4$ a young person to$9$ be always lolling upon$4$ a 
107:071,29[J  ]| sofa." 
107:071,30['  ]| Before$3$ half this was said, $MP#A$Fanny was returned to$4$ her 
107:071,31['  ]| seat at the table, and had taken up$5$ her work$0$ again; 
107:071,32['  ]| and $MP#I$Julia, who$6#1$ was in$4$ high good-humour, from the 
107:071,33['  ]| pleasures of the day, did her the justice of exclaiming, 
107:071,34[I  ]| "I must say, ma'am, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny is as little upon$4$ the 
107:071,35[I  ]| sofa as any*body in$4$ the house." 
107:071,36[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny," 
107:071,36['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, after$4$ looking at her attentively; 
107:071,37[B  ]| "I am sure you have the headach?" 
107:071,38['  ]| She could not deny it, but said it was not very bad. 
107:072,01[B  ]| "I can hardly believe you," 
107:072,01['  ]| he replied; 
107:072,01[B  ]| "I know your 
107:072,02[B  ]| looks$0$ too$5#1$ well$5$. How long have you had it?" 
107:072,03[A  ]| "Since a little before$4$ dinner. It is nothing but the heat$0$." 
107:072,04[B  ]| "Did you go out$5$ in$4$ the heat$0$?" 
107:072,05[J  ]| "Go out$5$! to$9$ be sure she did," 
107:072,05['  ]| said $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris; 
107:072,06[J  ]| "would you have her stay$1$ within such a fine day as this? 
107:072,07[J  ]| Were not we \all\ out$5$? Even$5$ your mother was out$5$ to-day 
107:072,08[J  ]| for$4$ above$4$ an hour." 
107:072,09[F  ]| "Yes, indeed, $MP#B$Edmund," 
107:072,09['  ]| added her ladyship, who$6#1$ had 
107:072,10['  ]| been thoroughly awakened by$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's sharp reprimand 
107:072,11['  ]| to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny; 
107:072,11[F  ]| "I was out$5$ above$4$ an hour. I sat 
107:072,12[F  ]| three quarters of an hour in$4$ the flower*garden, while$3$ 
107:072,13[F  ]| $MP#A$Fanny cut$1$ the roses, and very pleasant it was I assure 
107:072,14[F  ]| you, but very hot. It was shady enough in$4$ the alcove, 
107:072,15[F  ]| but I declare I quite dreaded the coming home again." 
107:072,16[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny has been cutting roses, has she?" 
107:072,17[F  ]| "Yes, and I am afraid they will$1$ be the last$0$ this year. 
107:072,18[F  ]| Poor thing! \She\ found it hot enough, but they were so$5#1$ 
107:072,19[F  ]| full blown, that$3$ one could not wait." 
107:072,20[J  ]| "There was no$2$ help$0$ for$4$ it certainly," 
107:072,20['  ]| rejoined $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
107:072,21['  ]| in$4$ a rather softened voice; 
107:072,21[J  ]| "but I question$1$ 
107:072,22[J  ]| whether her headach might not be caught \then\, sister. 
107:072,23[J  ]| There is nothing so$5#1$ likely to$9$ give it as standing and 
107:072,24[J  ]| stooping in$4$ a hot sun. But I dare$1#2$ say it will$1$ be well$5$ 
107:072,25[J  ]| to-morrow. Suppose you let her have your aromatic 
107:072,26[J  ]| vinegar; I always forget to$9$ have mine$6$ filled." 
107:072,27[F  ]| "She has got it," 
107:072,27['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram; 
107:072,27[F  ]| "she has had 
107:072,28[F  ]| it ever since she came back$5$ from your house the second$2$ 
107:072,29[F  ]| time." 
107:072,30[B  ]| "What!" 
107:072,30['  ]| cried $MP#B$Edmund; 
107:072,30[B  ]| "has she been walking 
107:072,31[B  ]| as well$5$ as cutting roses; walking across$4$ the hot park to$4$ 
107:072,32[B  ]| your house, and doing it twice, ma'am? ~~ No$2$ wonder$0$ her 
107:072,33[B  ]| head$0$ aches." 
107:072,34['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was talking to$4$ $MP#I$Julia, and did not hear. 
107:072,35[F  ]| "I was afraid it would be too$5#1$ much for$4$ her," 
107:072,35['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram; 
107:072,36[F  ]| "but when the roses were gathered, your aunt 
107:072,37[F  ]| wished to$9$ have them, and then you know they must be 
107:072,38[F  ]| taken home." 
107:073,01[B  ]| "But were there roses enough to$9$ oblige her to$9$ go 
107:073,02[B  ]| twice?" 
107:073,03[F  ]| "No$7$; but they were to$9$ be put into the spare*room to$9$ 
107:073,04[F  ]| dry$1$; and, unluckily, $MP#A$Fanny forgot to$9$ lock$1$ the door of 
107:073,05[F  ]| the room and bring away the key, so$3$ she was obliged to$9$ 
107:073,06[F  ]| go again." 
107:073,07['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund got up$5$ and walked about$4$ the room, saying, 
107:073,08[B  ]| "And could nobody be employed on$4$ such an errand but 
107:073,09[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ Upon$4$ my word, ma'am, it has been a very 
107:073,10[B  ]| ill-managed business." 
107:073,11[J  ]| "I am sure I do not know how it was to$9$ have been 
107:073,12[J  ]| done better," 
107:073,12['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, unable to$9$ be longer deaf; 
107:073,13[J  ]| "unless I had gone myself indeed; but I cannot be in$4$ 
107:073,14[J  ]| two places$0$ at once; and I was talking to$4$ $MP#ZI$Mr%*Green at 
107:073,15[J  ]| that$6#2$ very time about$4$ your mother's dairymaid, by$4$ \her\ 
107:073,16[J  ]| desire$0$, and had promised $MP#ZZL$John*Groom to$9$ write to$4$ 
107:073,16[J  ]| $MP#ZP$Mrs%*Jefferies 
107:073,17[J  ]| about$4$ his son, and the poor fellow was waiting 
107:073,18[J  ]| for$4$ me half an hour. I think nobody can justly accuse 
107:073,19[J  ]| me of sparing myself upon$4$ any occasion$0$, but really 
107:073,20[J  ]| I cannot do every*thing at once. And as for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's 
107:073,21[J  ]| just$5$ stepping down$5$ to$4$ my house for$4$ me, it is not much 
107:073,22[J  ]| above$4$ a quarter$0#1$ of a mile, I cannot think I was unreasonable 
107:073,23[J  ]| to$9$ ask it. How often do I pace$1$ it three times a-day, 
107:073,24[J  ]| early and late, ay and in$4$ all weathers too$5#2$, and say nothing 
107:073,25[J  ]| about$4$ it." 
107:073,26[B  ]| "I wish$1$ $MP#A$Fanny had half your strength, ma'am." 
107:073,27[J  ]| "If $MP#A$Fanny would be more regular in$4$ her exercise$0$, she 
107:073,28[J  ]| would not be knocked up$5$ so$5#1$ soon. She has not been out$5$ 
107:073,29[J  ]| on$4$ horseback now this long while$0$, and I am persuaded, 
107:073,30[J  ]| that$3$ when she does not ride$1$, she ought to$9$ walk$1$. If she 
107:073,31[J  ]| had been riding before$5$, I should not have asked it of her. 
107:073,32[J  ]| But I thought$1$ it would rather do her good after$4$ being$1$ 
107:073,33[J  ]| stooping among the roses; for$3$ there is nothing so$5#1$ refreshing 
107:073,34[J  ]| as a walk$0$ after$4$ a fatigue$0$ of that$6#2$ kind$0$; and though 
107:073,35[J  ]| the sun was strong, it was not so$5#1$ very hot. Between 
107:073,36[J  ]| ourselves, $MP#B$Edmund," 
107:073,36['  ]| nodding significantly at his mother, 
107:073,37[J  ]| "it was cutting the roses, and dawdling about$5$ in$4$ the 
107:073,38[J  ]| flower-garden, that$6#1$ did the mischief." 
107:074,01[F  ]| "I am afraid it was, indeed," 
107:074,01['  ]| said the more candid 
107:074,02['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, who$6#1$ had overheard her, 
107:074,02[F  ]| "I am very much 
107:074,03[F  ]| afraid she caught the headach there, for$3$ the heat$0$ was 
107:074,04[F  ]| enough to$9$ kill any*body. It was as much as I could bear$1$ 
107:074,05[F  ]| myself. Sitting and calling to$4$ Pug, and trying$1$ to$9$ keep 
107:074,06[F  ]| him from the flower-beds, was almost too$5#1$ much for$4$ me." 
107:074,07['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund said no$2$ more to$4$ either lady; but going 
107:074,08['  ]| quietly to$4$ another table, on$4$ which$6#1$ the supper tray yet 
107:074,09['  ]| remained, brought a glass of Madeira to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and 
107:074,10['  ]| obliged her to$9$ drink the greater part$0$. She wished to$9$ be 
107:074,11['  ]| able to$9$ decline it; but the tears which$6#1$ a variety of 
107:074,12['  ]| feelings created, made it easier to$9$ swallow than to$9$ speak. 
107:074,13['  ]| Vexed as $MP#B$Edmund was with his mother and aunt, he 
107:074,14['  ]| was still$5$ more angry with himself. 
107:074,14@b   | His own$2$ forgetfulness 
107:074,15@b   | of her was worse than any*thing which$6#1$ they had done. 
107:074,16@b   | Nothing of this would have happened had she been 
107:074,17@b   | properly considered; but she had been left four days 
107:074,18@b   | together without any choice$0$ of companions or exercise$0$, 
107:074,19@b   | and without any excuse$0$ for$4$ avoiding whatever her 
107:074,20@b   | unreasonable aunts might require. He was ashamed to$9$ 
107:074,21@b   | think that$3$ for$4$ four days together she had not had the 
107:074,22@b   | power of riding, and very seriously resolved, however 
107:074,23@b   | unwilling he must be to$9$ check$1$ a pleasure of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's, 
107:074,24@b   | that$3$ it should never happen again. 
107:074,25['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny went to$4$ bed with her heart as full as on$4$ the 
107:074,26['  ]| first evening of her arrival at the Park. The state$0$ of her 
107:074,27['  ]| spirits had probably had its share$0$ in$4$ her indisposition; 
107:074,28['  ]| for$3$ she had been feeling neglected, and been struggling 
107:074,29['  ]| against discontent and envy$0$ for$4$ some days past$1$. As she 
107:074,30['  ]| leant on$4$ the sofa, to$4$ which$6#1$ she had retreated that$3$ she 
107:074,31['  ]| might not be seen, the pain$0$ of her mind$0$ had been much 
107:074,32['  ]| beyond$4$ that$6#2$ in$4$ her head$0$; and the sudden$2$ change$0$ which$6#1$ 
107:074,33['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's kindness had then occasioned, made her hardly 
107:074,34['  ]| know how to$9$ support$1$ herself. 
108:075,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's rides$0$ recommenced the very next day, and 
108:075,02['  ]| as it was a pleasant fresh-feeling morning, less hot than 
108:075,03['  ]| the weather had lately been, $MP#B$Edmund trusted that$3$ her 
108:075,04['  ]| losses both of health and pleasure would be soon made 
108:075,05['  ]| good. While$3$ she was gone, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth arrived, 
108:075,06['  ]| escorting his mother, who$6#1$ came to$9$ be civil, and to$9$ shew$1$ 
108:075,07['  ]| her civility especially, in$4$ urging the execution of the plan 
108:075,08['  ]| for$4$ visiting Sotherton, which$6#1$ had been started a fortnight 
108:075,09['  ]| before$5$, and which$6#1$, in$4$ consequence of her subsequent 
108:075,10['  ]| absence from home, had since lain dormant. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
108:075,11['  ]| and her nieces were all well$5$ pleased with its revival, and 
108:075,12['  ]| an early day was named, and agreed to$5$, provided $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
108:075,13['  ]| should be disengaged; the young ladies did not 
108:075,14['  ]| forget that$6#2$ stipulation, and though $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris would 
108:075,15['  ]| willingly have answered for$4$ his being$1$ so$5#2$, they would 
108:075,16['  ]| neither authorize the liberty, nor run$1$ the risk$0$; and at 
108:075,17['  ]| last$0$ on$4$ a hint$0$ from $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth discovered 
108:075,18['  ]| that$3$ 
108:075,18@k   | the properest thing to$9$ be done, was for$4$ him 
108:075,19@k   | to$9$ walk$1$ down$5$ to$4$ the parsonage directly, and call$1$ on$4$ 
108:075,19@k   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
108:075,20@k   | and inquire whether Wednesday would suit$1$ 
108:075,21@k   | him or not. 
108:075,22['  ]| Before$4$ his return$0$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford came 
108:075,23['  ]| in$5$. Having been out$5$ some time, and taken a different 
108:075,24['  ]| route to$4$ the house, they had not met him. Comfortable 
108:075,25['  ]| hopes$0$, however, were given that$3$ he would find $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
108:075,26['  ]| at home. The Sotherton scheme$0$ was mentioned of 
108:075,27['  ]| course$8$. It was hardly possible indeed that$3$ any*thing 
108:075,28['  ]| else should be talked of, for$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was in$4$ high 
108:075,29['  ]| spirits about$4$ it, and $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, a well-meaning, 
108:075,30['  ]| civil, prosing, pompous woman, who$6#1$ thought$1$ nothing of 
108:075,31['  ]| consequence, but as it related to$4$ her own$2$ and her son's 
108:075,32['  ]| concerns$0$, had not yet given over pressing $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
108:076,01['  ]| to$9$ be of the party. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram constantly declined 
108:076,02['  ]| it; but her placid manner of refusal made $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth 
108:076,03['  ]| still$5$ think she wished to$9$ come, till $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's 
108:076,04['  ]| more numerous words and louder tone convinced her of 
108:076,05['  ]| the truth. 
108:076,06[J  ]| "The fatigue$0$ would be too$5#1$ much for$4$ my sister, a great 
108:076,07[J  ]| deal$0$ too$5#1$ much I assure you, my dear$2#1$ $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth. 
108:076,08[J  ]| Ten miles there, and ten back$5$, you know. You must 
108:076,09[J  ]| excuse$1$ my sister on$4$ this occasion$0$, and accept of our two 
108:076,10[J  ]| dear$2#1$ girls and myself without her. Sotherton is the only 
108:076,11[J  ]| place$0$ that$6#1$ could give her a \wish$0$\ to$9$ go so$5#1$ far, but it cannot 
108:076,12[J  ]| be indeed. She will$1$ have a companion in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny*Price 
108:076,13[J  ]| you know, so$3$ it will$1$ all do very well$5$; and as for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, 
108:076,14[J  ]| as he is not here to$9$ speak for$4$ himself, I will$1$ answer$1$ for$4$ his 
108:076,15[J  ]| being$1$ most happy to$9$ join the party. He can go on$4$ horseback, 
108:076,16[J  ]| you know." 
108:076,17['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth being$1$ obliged to$9$ yield to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
108:076,18['  ]| staying at home, could only be sorry. 
108:076,18[L  ]| "The loss of her 
108:076,19[L  ]| Ladyship's company would be a great drawback, and she 
108:076,20[L  ]| should have been extremely happy to$9$ have seen the 
108:076,21[L  ]| young lady too$5#2$, $MP#A$Miss*Price, who$6#1$ had never been at 
108:076,22[L  ]| Sotherton yet, and it was a pity$0$ she should not see the 
108:076,23[L  ]| place$0$." 
108:076,24[J  ]| "You are very kind$2$, you are all kindness, my dear$2#1$ 
108:076,25[J  ]| madam," 
108:076,25['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris; 
108:076,25[J  ]| "but as to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, she will$1$ 
108:076,26[J  ]| have opportunities in$4$ plenty of seeing Sotherton. She 
108:076,27[J  ]| has time enough before$4$ her; and her going now is quite 
108:076,28[J  ]| out$5$ of the question$0$. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram could not possibly 
108:076,29[J  ]| spare$1$ her." 
108:076,30[F  ]| "Oh! no$7$ ~~ I cannot do without $MP#A$Fanny." 
108:076,31['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth proceeded next, under the conviction 
108:076,32['  ]| that$3$ every*body must be wanting to$9$ see Sotherton, to$9$ 
108:076,33['  ]| include $MP#C$Miss*Crawford in$4$ the invitation; and though 
108:076,34['  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, who$6#1$ had not been at the trouble$0$ of visiting 
108:076,35['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth on$4$ her coming into the neighbourhood, 
108:076,36['  ]| civilly declined it on$4$ her own$2$ account$0$, she was glad to$9$ 
108:076,37['  ]| secure$1$ any pleasure for$4$ her sister; and $MP#C$Mary, properly 
108:076,38['  ]| pressed and persuaded, was not long in$4$ accepting her 
108:077,01['  ]| share$0$ of the civility. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth came back$5$ from 
108:077,02['  ]| the parsonage successful; and $MP#B$Edmund made his appearance 
108:077,03['  ]| just$5$ in$4$ time to$9$ learn what had been settled for$4$ 
108:077,04['  ]| Wednesday, to$9$ attend $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth to$4$ her carriage, 
108:077,05['  ]| and walk$1$ half way down$4$ the park with the two other 
108:077,06['  ]| ladies. 
108:077,07['  ]| On$4$ his return$0$ to$4$ the breakfast-room, he found $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
108:077,08['  ]| trying$1$ to$9$ make$1$ up$5$ her mind$0$ as to$4$ whether $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
108:077,09['  ]| being$1$ of the party were desirable or not, or 
108:077,10['  ]| whether her brother's barouche would not be full without 
108:077,11['  ]| her. The $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams laughed at the idea, assuring 
108:077,12['  ]| her that$3$ the barouche would hold$1$ four perfectly well$5$, 
108:077,13['  ]| independent of the box, on$4$ which$6#1$ \one\ might go with him. 
108:077,14[B  ]| "But why is it necessary," 
108:077,14['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
108:077,14[B  ]| "that$3$ $MP#D$Crawford's 
108:077,15[B  ]| carriage, or his \only\ should be employed? Why 
108:077,16[B  ]| is no$2$ use$0$ to$9$ be made of my mother's chaise? I could 
108:077,17[B  ]| not, when the scheme$0$ was first mentioned the other day, 
108:077,18[B  ]| understand why a visit$0$ from the family were not to$9$ be 
108:077,19[B  ]| made in$4$ the carriage of the family." 
108:077,20[I  ]| "What!" 
108:077,20['  ]| cried $MP#I$Julia: 
108:077,20[I  ]| "go box'd up$5$ three in$4$ a post-chaise 
108:077,21[I  ]| in$4$ this weather, when we may$1$ have seats in$4$ a 
108:077,22[I  ]| barouche! No$7$, my dear$2#1$ $MP#B$Edmund, that$6#2$ will$1$ not quite do." 
108:077,23[H  ]| "Besides," 
108:077,23['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria, 
108:077,23[H  ]| "I know that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
108:077,24[H  ]| depends upon$4$ taking us. After$4$ what passed at first, he 
108:077,25[H  ]| would claim$1$ it as a promise$0$." 
108:077,26[J  ]| "And my dear$2#1$ $MP#B$Edmund," 
108:077,26['  ]| added $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
108:077,26[J  ]| "taking 
108:077,27[J  ]| out$5$ \two\ carriages when \one\ will$1$ do, would be trouble$0$ for$4$ 
108:077,28[J  ]| nothing; and between ourselves, coachman is not very 
108:077,29[J  ]| fond of the roads between this and Sotherton; he always 
108:077,30[J  ]| complains bitterly of the narrow lanes scratching his 
108:077,31[J  ]| carriage, and you know one should not like$1$ to$9$ have dear$2#1$ 
108:077,32[J  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas when he comes home find all the varnish 
108:077,33[J  ]| scratched off." 
108:077,34[H  ]| "That$6#2$ would not be a very handsome reason$0$ for$4$ using 
108:077,35[H  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's," 
108:077,35['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria; 
108:077,35[H  ]| "but the truth is, that$3$ 
108:077,36[H  ]| $MP#W$Wilcox is a stupid old fellow, and does not know how to$9$ 
108:077,37[H  ]| drive$1$. I will$1$ answer$1$ for$4$ it that$3$ we shall find no$2$ 
108:077,37[H  ]| inconvenience 
108:077,38[H  ]| from narrow roads on$4$ Wednesday." 
108:078,01[B  ]| "There is no$2$ hardship, I suppose, nothing unpleasant," 
108:078,02['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
108:078,02[B  ]| "in$4$ going on$4$ the barouche*box." 
108:078,03[H  ]| "Unpleasant!" 
108:078,03['  ]| cried $MP#H$Maria; 
108:078,03[H  ]| "Oh! dear$7$, I believe 
108:078,04[H  ]| it would be generally thought$1$ the favourite$2$ seat. There 
108:078,05[H  ]| can be no$2$ comparison as to$4$ one's view$0$ of the country. 
108:078,06[H  ]| Probably, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford will$1$ choose the barouche*box 
108:078,07[H  ]| herself." 
108:078,08[B  ]| "There can be no$2$ objection then to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's going 
108:078,09[B  ]| with you; there can be no$2$ doubt$0$ of your having room 
108:078,10[B  ]| for$4$ her." 
108:078,11[J  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny!" 
108:078,11['  ]| repeated $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris; 
108:078,11[J  ]| "my dear$2#1$ $MP#B$Edmund, 
108:078,12[J  ]| there is no$2$ idea of her going with us. She stays with 
108:078,13[J  ]| her aunt. I told $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth so$5#2$. She is not 
108:078,14[J  ]| expected." 
108:078,15[B  ]| "You can have no$2$ reason$0$ I imagine madam," 
108:078,15['  ]| said he, 
108:078,16['  ]| addressing his mother, 
108:078,16[B  ]| "for$4$ wishing $MP#A$Fanny \not\ to$9$ be of 
108:078,17[B  ]| the party, but as it relates to$4$ yourself, to$4$ your own$2$ 
108:078,18[B  ]| comfort$0$. If you could do without her, you would not 
108:078,19[B  ]| wish$1$ to$9$ keep her at home?" 
108:078,20[F  ]| "To$9$ be sure not, but I \cannot\ do without her." 
108:078,21[B  ]| "You can, if I stay$1$ at home with you, as I mean$1$ to$9$ do." 
108:078,22['  ]| There was a general$2$ cry$0$ out$5$ at this. 
108:078,22[B  ]| "Yes," 
108:078,22['  ]| he continued, 
108:078,23[B  ]| "there is no$2$ necessity for$4$ my going, and I mean$1$ 
108:078,24[B  ]| to$9$ stay$1$ at home. $MP#A$Fanny has a great desire$0$ to$9$ see Sotherton. 
108:078,25[B  ]| I know she wishes$1$ it very much. She has not often 
108:078,26[B  ]| a gratification of the kind$0$, and I am sure ma'am you 
108:078,27[B  ]| would be glad to$9$ give her the pleasure now?" 
108:078,28[F  ]| "Oh! yes, very glad, if your aunt sees no$2$ objection." 
108:078,29['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was very ready with the only objection 
108:078,30['  ]| which$6#1$ could remain, 
108:078,30@j   | their having positively assured 
108:078,31@j   | $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could not go, and the 
108:078,32@j   | very strange appearance there would consequently be 
108:078,33@j   | in$4$ taking her, which$6#1$ seemed to$4$ her a difficulty quite 
108:078,34@j   | impossible to$9$ be got over. It must have the strangest 
108:078,35@j   | appearance! It would be something so$5#1$ very unceremonious, 
108:078,36@j   | so$5#1$ bordering on$4$ disrespect for$4$ $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
108:078,37@j   | whose$6#1$ own$2$ manners were such a pattern of good-breeding 
108:078,38@j   | and attention, that$3$ she really did not feel equal$2$ to$4$ it. 
108:079,01['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had no$2$ affection for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and no$2$ wish$0$ of 
108:079,02['  ]| procuring her pleasure at any time, but her opposition to$4$ 
108:079,03['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund \now\ arose more from partiality for$4$ her own$2$ 
108:079,04['  ]| scheme$0$ because it \was\ her own$2$, than from any*thing else. 
108:079,05['  ]| She felt that$3$ she had arranged every*thing extremely well$5$, 
108:079,06['  ]| and that$3$ any alteration must be for$4$ the worse. When 
108:079,07['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, therefore, told her in$4$ reply$0$, as he did when she 
108:079,08['  ]| would give him the hearing, that$3$ she need$1$ not distress$1$ 
108:079,09['  ]| herself on$4$ $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth's account$0$, because he had 
108:079,10['  ]| taken the opportunity as he walked with her through$4$ 
108:079,11['  ]| the hall, of mentioning $MP#A$Miss*Price as one who$6#1$ would 
108:079,12['  ]| probably be of the party, and had directly received a very 
108:079,13['  ]| sufficient invitation for$4$ his cousin, $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was too$5#1$ 
108:079,14['  ]| much vexed to$9$ submit with a very good grace$0$, and 
108:079,15['  ]| would only say, 
108:079,15[J  ]| "Very well$5$, very well$5$, just$5$ as you 
108:079,16[J  ]| choose, settle it your own$2$ way, I am sure I do not care$1$ 
108:079,17[J  ]| about$4$ it." 
108:079,18[H  ]| "It seems very odd," 
108:079,18['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria, 
108:079,18[H  ]| "that$3$ you should 
108:079,19[H  ]| be staying at home instead of $MP#A$Fanny." 
108:079,20[I  ]| "I am sure she ought to$9$ be very much obliged to$4$ you," 
108:079,21['  ]| added $MP#I$Julia, hastily leaving the room as she spoke, from 
108:079,22['  ]| a consciousness that$3$ 
108:079,22@i   | she ought to$9$ offer$1$ to$9$ stay$1$ at home 
108:079,23@i   | herself. 
108:079,24[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny will$1$ feel quite as grateful as the occasion$0$ 
108:079,25[B  ]| requires," 
108:079,25['  ]| was $MP#B$Edmund's only reply$0$, and the subject$0$ 
108:079,26['  ]| dropt. 
108:079,27['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's gratitude when she heard the plan, was in$4$ 
108:079,28['  ]| fact much greater than her pleasure. She felt $MP#B$Edmund's 
108:079,29['  ]| kindness with all, and more than all, the sensibility which$6#1$ 
108:079,30['  ]| he, unsuspicious of her fond attachment, could be aware 
108:079,31['  ]| of; 
108:079,31@a   | but that$3$ he should forego any enjoyment on$4$ her 
108:079,32@a   | account$0$ gave her pain$0$, and her own$2$ satisfaction in$4$ seeing 
108:079,33@a   | Sotherton would be nothing without him. 
108:079,34['  ]| The next meeting of the two Mansfield families produced 
108:079,35['  ]| another alteration in$4$ the plan, and one that$6#1$ was 
108:079,36['  ]| admitted with general$2$ approbation. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant offered 
108:079,37['  ]| herself as companion for$4$ the day to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram in$4$ lieu 
108:079,38['  ]| of her son, and $MP#M$Dr%*Grant was to$9$ join them at dinner. 
108:080,01['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was very well$5$ pleased to$9$ have it so$5#2$, and 
108:080,02['  ]| the young ladies were in$4$ spirits again. Even$5$ $MP#B$Edmund 
108:080,03['  ]| was very thankful for$4$ an arrangement which$6#1$ restored 
108:080,04['  ]| him to$4$ his share$0$ of the party; and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris thought$1$ 
108:080,05['  ]| it an excellent plan, and had it at her tongue's end$0$, and 
108:080,06['  ]| was on$4$ the point$0$ of proposing it when $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant spoke. 
108:080,07['  ]| Wednesday was fine, and soon after$4$ breakfast$0$ the 
108:080,08['  ]| barouche arrived, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford driving his sisters; 
108:080,09['  ]| and as every*body was ready, there was nothing to$9$ be 
108:080,10['  ]| done but for$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant to$9$ alight and the others to$9$ take 
108:080,11['  ]| their places$0$. The place$0$ of all places$0$, the envied seat, the 
108:080,12['  ]| post of honour$0$, was unappropriated. To$4$ whose$6#2$ happy 
108:080,13['  ]| lot was it to$9$ fall$1$? While$3$ each of the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams were 
108:080,14['  ]| meditating how best, and with most appearance of 
108:080,15['  ]| obliging the others, to$9$ secure$1$ it, the matter was settled 
108:080,16['  ]| by$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's saying, as she stepped from the carriage, 
108:080,17[N  ]| "As there are five of you, it will$1$ be better that$3$ one should 
108:080,18[N  ]| sit with $MP#D$Henry, and as you were saying lately, that$3$ you 
108:080,19[N  ]| wished you could drive$1$, $MP#I$Julia, I think this will$1$ be a good 
108:080,20[N  ]| opportunity for$4$ you to$9$ take a lesson." 
108:080,21['  ]| Happy $MP#I$Julia! Unhappy $MP#H$Maria! The former was on$4$ 
108:080,22['  ]| the barouche-box in$4$ a moment, the latter took her seat 
108:080,23['  ]| within, in$4$ gloom and mortification; and the carriage 
108:080,24['  ]| drove off amid the good wishes$0$ of the two remaining 
108:080,25['  ]| ladies, and the barking of pug in$4$ his mistress's arms. 
108:080,26['  ]| Their road was through$4$ a pleasant country; and 
108:080,27['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, whose$6#1$ rides$0$ had never been extensive, was soon 
108:080,28['  ]| beyond$4$ her knowledge, and was very happy in$4$ observing 
108:080,29['  ]| all that$6#1$ was new, and admiring all that$6#1$ was pretty$2$. She 
108:080,30['  ]| was not often invited to$9$ join in$4$ the conversation of the 
108:080,31['  ]| others, nor did she desire$1$ it. Her own$2$ thoughts and 
108:080,32['  ]| reflections were habitually her best companions; and in$4$ 
108:080,33['  ]| observing the appearance of the country, the bearings 
108:080,34['  ]| of the roads, the difference of soil, the state$0$ of the harvest, 
108:080,35['  ]| the cottages, the cattle, the children, she found entertainment 
108:080,36['  ]| that$6#1$ could only have been heightened by$4$ 
108:080,37['  ]| having $MP#B$Edmund to$9$ speak to$4$ of what she felt. That$6#2$ was 
108:080,38['  ]| the only point$0$ of resemblance between her and the lady 
108:081,01['  ]| who$6#1$ sat by$4$ her; in$4$ every*thing but a value$0$ for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, 
108:081,02['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was very unlike her. She had none of 
108:081,03['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's delicacy of taste, of mind$0$, of feeling; she saw 
108:081,04['  ]| nature, inanimate nature, with little observation; her 
108:081,05['  ]| attention was all for$4$ men and women, her talents for$4$ 
108:081,06['  ]| the light$2$ and lively. In$4$ looking back$5$ after$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, 
108:081,07['  ]| however, when there was any stretch of road behind 
108:081,08['  ]| them, or when he gained on$4$ them in$4$ ascending a considerable 
108:081,09['  ]| hill, they were united, and a 
108:081,09[Y  ]| "there he is" 
108:081,10['  ]| broke at the same moment from them both, more than 
108:081,11['  ]| once. 
108:081,12['  ]| For$4$ the first seven miles $MP#H$Miss*Bertram had very little 
108:081,13['  ]| real comfort$0$; her prospect always ended in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
108:081,14['  ]| and her sister sitting side$0$ by$4$ side$0$ full of conversation and 
108:081,15['  ]| merriment; and to$9$ see only his expressive profile as he 
108:081,16['  ]| turned with a smile$0$ to$4$ $MP#I$Julia, or to$9$ catch$1$ the laugh$0$ of the 
108:081,17['  ]| other, was a perpetual source of irritation, which$6#1$ her 
108:081,18['  ]| own$2$ sense of propriety could but just$5$ smooth$1$ over. When 
108:081,19['  ]| $MP#I$Julia looked back$5$, it was with a countenance of delight$0$, 
108:081,20['  ]| and whenever she spoke to$4$ them, it was in$4$ the highest 
108:081,21['  ]| spirits; 
108:081,21[I  ]| "her view$0$ of the country was charming, she 
108:081,22[I  ]| wished they could all see it, &c%" 
108:081,22['  ]| but her only offer$0$ of 
108:081,23['  ]| exchange$0$ was addressed to$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, as they gained 
108:081,24['  ]| the summit of a long hill, and was not more inviting than 
108:081,25['  ]| this, 
108:081,25[I  ]| "Here is a fine burst$0$ of country. I wish$1$ you had 
108:081,26[I  ]| my seat, but I dare$1#2$ say you will$1$ not take it, let me 
108:081,27[I  ]| press$1$ you ever so$5#1$ much," 
108:081,27['  ]| and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford could 
108:081,28['  ]| hardly answer$1$, before$3$ they were moving again at a good 
108:081,29['  ]| pace$0$. 
108:081,30['  ]| When they came within the influence$0$ of Sotherton 
108:081,31['  ]| associations, it was better for$4$ $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, who$6#1$ might 
108:081,32['  ]| be said to$9$ have two strings to$4$ her bow$0#2$. She had 
108:081,32['  ]| $MP#K$Rushworth-feelings, 
108:081,33['  ]| and $MP#D$Crawford-feelings, and in$4$ the vicinity 
108:081,34['  ]| of Sotherton, the former had considerable effect$0$. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
108:081,35['  ]| consequence was hers. She could not tell 
108:081,36['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford that$3$ 
108:081,36[H  ]| "those woods belonged to$4$ Sotherton," 
108:081,37['  ]| she could not carelessly observe that$3$ 
108:081,37[H  ]| "she believed it was 
108:081,38[H  ]| now all $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's property on$4$ each side$0$ of the 
108:082,01[H  ]| road," 
108:082,01['  ]| without elation of heart; and it was a pleasure to$9$ 
108:082,02['  ]| increase$1$ with their approach$0$ to$4$ the capital freehold mansion, 
108:082,03['  ]| and ancient manorial residence of the family, with 
108:082,04['  ]| all its rights of Court-Leet and Court-Baron. 
108:082,05[H  ]| "Now we shall have no$2$ more rough road, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
108:082,06[H  ]| our difficulties are over. The rest$0#1$ of the way is such as 
108:082,07[H  ]| it ought to$9$ be. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth has made it since he succeeded 
108:082,08[H  ]| to$4$ the estate. Here begins the village. Those 
108:082,09[H  ]| cottages are really a disgrace$0$. The church spire is 
108:082,10[H  ]| reckoned remarkably handsome. I am glad the church 
108:082,11[H  ]| is not so$5#1$ close$5$ to$4$ the Great House as often happens in$4$ old 
108:082,12[H  ]| places$0$. The annoyance of the bells must be terrible. 
108:082,13[H  ]| There is the parsonage; a tidy looking house, and 
108:082,14[H  ]| I understand the clergyman and his wife are very decent 
108:082,15[H  ]| people. Those are alms-houses, built by$4$ some of the 
108:082,16[H  ]| family. To$4$ the right$2#2$ is the steward's house; he is a very 
108:082,17[H  ]| respectable man. Now we are coming to$4$ the lodge 
108:082,18[H  ]| gates; but we have nearly a mile through$4$ the park 
108:082,19[H  ]| still$5$. It is not ugly, you see, at this end$0$; there is some 
108:082,20[H  ]| fine timber, but the situation of the house is dreadful. 
108:082,21[H  ]| We go down*hill to$4$ it for$4$ half-a-mile, and it is a pity$0$, 
108:082,22[H  ]| for$3$ it would not be an ill-looking place$0$ if it had a better 
108:082,23[H  ]| approach$0$." 
108:082,24['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was not slow to$9$ admire; she pretty$5$ 
108:082,25['  ]| well$5$ guessed $MP#H$Miss*Bertram's feelings, and made it a point$0$ 
108:082,26['  ]| of honour$0$ to$9$ promote her enjoyment to$4$ the utmost. 
108:082,27['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was all delight$0$ and volubility; and even$5$ 
108:082,28['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had something to$9$ say in$4$ admiration, and might 
108:082,29['  ]| be heard with complacency. Her eye was eagerly taking 
108:082,30['  ]| in$4$ every*thing within her reach$0$; and after$4$ being$1$ at some 
108:082,31['  ]| pains to$9$ get a view$0$ of the house, and observing that$3$ 
108:082,31[A  ]| "it 
108:082,32[A  ]| was a sort of building which$6#1$ she could not look$1$ at but 
108:082,33[A  ]| with respect$0$," 
108:082,33['  ]| she added, 
108:082,33[A  ]| "Now, where is the avenue? 
108:082,34[A  ]| The house fronts the east, I perceive. The avenue, 
108:082,35[A  ]| therefore, must be at the back$0$ of it. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
108:082,36[A  ]| talked of the west front$0$." 
108:082,37[H  ]| "Yes, it is exactly behind the house; begins at a little 
108:082,38[H  ]| distance$0$, and ascends for$4$ half-a-mile to$4$ the extremity of 
108:083,01[H  ]| the grounds. You may$1$ see something of it here ~~ something 
108:083,02[H  ]| of the more distant trees. It is oak entirely." 
108:083,03['  ]| $MP#H$Miss*Bertram could now speak with decided information 
108:083,04['  ]| of what she had known nothing about$4$, when $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
108:083,05['  ]| had asked her opinion, and her spirits were in$4$ as 
108:083,06['  ]| happy a flutter as vanity and pride could furnish, when 
108:083,07['  ]| they drove up$5$ to$4$ the spacious stone steps before$4$ the 
108:083,08['  ]| principal$2$ entrance. 
109:084,01['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was at the door to$9$ receive his fair 
109:084,02['  ]| lady, and the whole$2$ party were welcomed by$4$ him with 
109:084,03['  ]| due$2$ attention. In$4$ the drawing-room they were met with 
109:084,04['  ]| equal$2$ cordiality by$4$ the mother, and $MP#H$Miss*Bertram had all 
109:084,05['  ]| the distinction with each that$6#1$ she could wish$1$. After$4$ the 
109:084,06['  ]| business of arriving was over, it was first necessary to$9$ eat, 
109:084,07['  ]| and the doors were thrown open$2$ to$9$ admit them through$4$ 
109:084,08['  ]| one or two intermediate rooms into the appointed dining-parlour, 
109:084,09['  ]| where a collation was prepared with abundance 
109:084,10['  ]| and elegance. Much was said, and much was ate, and all 
109:084,11['  ]| went well$5$. The particular object$0$ of the day was then considered. 
109:084,12['  ]| How would $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford like$1$, in$4$ what manner 
109:084,13['  ]| would he choose, to$9$ take a survey of the grounds? ~~ 
109:084,14['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth mentioned his curricle. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
109:084,15['  ]| suggested the greater desirableness of some carriage 
109:084,16['  ]| which$6#1$ might convey more than two. 
109:084,16[D  ]| "To$9$ be depriving 
109:084,17[D  ]| themselves of the advantage of other eyes and other 
109:084,18[D  ]| judgments, might be an evil even$5$ beyond$4$ the loss of 
109:084,19[D  ]| present$2$ pleasure." 
109:084,20['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth proposed that$3$ the chaise should be 
109:084,21['  ]| taken also; but this was scarcely received as an amendment; 
109:084,22['  ]| the young ladies neither smiled nor spoke. Her 
109:084,23['  ]| next proposition, of shewing the house to$4$ such of them 
109:084,24['  ]| as had not been there before$5$, was more acceptable, for$3$ 
109:084,25['  ]| $MP#H$Miss*Bertram was pleased to$9$ have its size displayed, and 
109:084,26['  ]| all were glad to$9$ be doing something. 
109:084,27['  ]| The whole$2$ party rose$1$ accordingly, and under $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth's 
109:084,28['  ]| guidance were shewn through$4$ a number of 
109:084,29['  ]| rooms, all lofty, and many large, and amply furnished 
109:084,30['  ]| in$4$ the taste of fifty years back$5$, with shining floors, solid 
109:084,31['  ]| mahogany, rich damask, marble, gilding and carving, 
109:084,32['  ]| each handsome in$4$ its way. Of pictures there were 
109:084,33['  ]| abundance, and some few good, but the larger part$0$ were 
109:085,01['  ]| family portraits, no$2$ longer any*thing to$4$ any*body but 
109:085,02['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, who$6#1$ had been at great pains to$9$ learn 
109:085,03['  ]| all that$6#1$ the housekeeper could teach, and was now almost 
109:085,04['  ]| equally well$5$ qualified to$9$ shew$1$ the house. On$4$ the present$2$ 
109:085,05['  ]| occasion$0$, she addressed herself chiefly to$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
109:085,06['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny, but there was no$2$ comparison in$4$ the willingness 
109:085,07['  ]| of their attention, for$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, who$6#1$ had seen scores 
109:085,08['  ]| of great houses, and cared for$4$ none of them, had only the 
109:085,09['  ]| appearance of civilly listening, while$3$ $MP#A$Fanny, to$4$ whom$6#1$ 
109:085,10['  ]| every*thing was almost as interesting as it was new, 
109:085,11['  ]| attended with unaffected earnestness to$4$ all that$6#1$ 
109:085,11['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth 
109:085,12['  ]| could relate of the family in$4$ former times, its 
109:085,13['  ]| rise$0$ and grandeur, regal visits and loyal efforts, delighted 
109:085,14['  ]| to$9$ connect any*thing with history already known, or 
109:085,15['  ]| warm$1$ her imagination with scenes of the past$0$. 
109:085,16['  ]| The situation of the house excluded the possibility of 
109:085,17['  ]| much prospect from any of the rooms, and while$3$ $MP#A$Fanny 
109:085,18['  ]| and some of the others were attending $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
109:085,19['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was looking grave$2$ and shaking his head$0$ 
109:085,20['  ]| at the windows. Every room on$4$ the west front$0$ looked 
109:085,21['  ]| across$4$ a lawn to$4$ the beginning of the avenue immediately 
109:085,22['  ]| beyond$4$ tall iron palisades and gates. 
109:085,23['  ]| Having visited many more rooms than could be 
109:085,24['  ]| supposed to$9$ be of any other use$0$ than to$9$ contribute to$4$ the 
109:085,25['  ]| window tax$0$, and find employment for$4$ housemaids, 
109:085,26[L  ]| "Now," 
109:085,26['  ]| said $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
109:085,26[L  ]| "we are coming to$4$ the 
109:085,27[L  ]| chapel, which$6#1$ properly we ought to$9$ enter from above$5$, 
109:085,28[L  ]| and look$1$ down$5$ upon$5$; but as we are quite among friends, 
109:085,29[L  ]| I will$1$ take you in$4$ this way, if you will$1$ excuse$1$ me." 
109:085,30['  ]| They entered. $MP#A$Fanny's imagination had prepared her 
109:085,31['  ]| for$4$ something grander than a mere, spacious, oblong 
109:085,32['  ]| room, fitted up$5$ for$4$ the purpose of devotion ~~ with nothing 
109:085,33['  ]| more striking or more solemn than the profusion of 
109:085,34['  ]| mahogany, and the crimson velvet cushions appearing 
109:085,35['  ]| over the ledge of the family gallery above$5$. 
109:085,35[A  ]| "I am 
109:085,36[A  ]| disappointed," 
109:085,36['  ]| said she, in$4$ a low voice, to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund. 
109:085,37[A  ]| "This is not my idea of a chapel. There is nothing 
109:085,38[A  ]| awful here, nothing melancholy$2$, nothing grand. Here 
109:086,01[A  ]| are no$2$ aisles, no$2$ arches, no$2$ inscriptions, no$2$ banners. 
109:086,02[A  ]| No$2$ banners, cousin, to$9$ be ""blown by$4$ the night wind 
109:086,03[A  ]| of Heaven."" No$2$ signs that$6#1$ a ""Scottish monarch sleeps 
109:086,04[A  ]| below.""" 
109:086,05[B  ]| "You forget, $MP#A$Fanny, how lately all this has been 
109:086,06[B  ]| built, and for$4$ how confined a purpose, compared with 
109:086,07[B  ]| the old chapels of castles and monasteries. It was only 
109:086,08[B  ]| for$4$ the private$2$ use$0$ of the family. They have been 
109:086,09[B  ]| buried, I suppose, in$4$ the parish church. \There\ you must 
109:086,10[B  ]| look$1$ for$4$ the banners and the atchievements." 
109:086,11[A  ]| "It was foolish of me not to$9$ think of all that$6#2$, but I am 
109:086,12[A  ]| disappointed." 
109:086,13['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth began her relation. 
109:086,13[L  ]| "This chapel was 
109:086,14[L  ]| fitted up$5$ as you see it, in$4$ $MP#Z1$James*the*Second's time. Before$4$ 
109:086,15[L  ]| that$6#2$ period, as I understand, the pews were only wainscot; 
109:086,16[L  ]| and there is some reason$0$ to$9$ think that$3$ the linings and 
109:086,17[L  ]| cushions of the pulpit and family-seat were only purple 
109:086,18[L  ]| cloth; but this is not quite certain. It is a handsome 
109:086,19[L  ]| chapel, and was formerly in$4$ constant use$0$ both morning 
109:086,20[L  ]| and evening. Prayers were always read in$4$ it by$4$ the 
109:086,21[L  ]| domestic$2$ chaplain, within the memory of many. But the 
109:086,22[L  ]| late $MP#W$Mr%*Rushworth left it off." 
109:086,23[C  ]| "Every generation has its improvements," 
109:086,23['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
109:086,24['  ]| with a smile$0$, to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund. 
109:086,25['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth was gone to$9$ repeat her lesson to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford; 
109:086,26['  ]| and $MP#B$Edmund, $MP#A$Fanny, and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
109:086,27['  ]| remained in$4$ a cluster together. 
109:086,28[A  ]| "It is a pity$0$," 
109:086,28['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, 
109:086,28[A  ]| "that$3$ the custom should 
109:086,29[A  ]| have been discontinued. It was a valuable part$0$ of 
109:086,30[A  ]| former times. There is something in$4$ a chapel and 
109:086,31[A  ]| chaplain so$5#1$ much in$4$ character with a great house, with 
109:086,32[A  ]| one's ideas of what such a household should be! A whole$2$ 
109:086,33[A  ]| family assembling regularly for$4$ the purpose of prayer, 
109:086,34[A  ]| is fine!" 
109:086,35[C  ]| "Very fine indeed!" 
109:086,35['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, laughing. 
109:086,36[C  ]| "It must do the heads of the family a great deal$0$ of good 
109:086,37[C  ]| to$9$ force$1$ all the poor housemaids and footmen to$9$ leave$1$ 
109:086,38[C  ]| business and pleasure, and say their prayers here twice 
109:087,01[C  ]| a day, while$3$ they are inventing excuses themselves for$4$ 
109:087,02[C  ]| staying away." 
109:087,03[B  ]| "\That$6#2$\ is hardly $MP#A$Fanny's idea of a family assembling," 
109:087,04['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund. 
109:087,04[B  ]| "If the master and mistress do \not\ 
109:087,05[B  ]| attend themselves, there must be more harm$0$ than good 
109:087,06[B  ]| in$4$ the custom." 
109:087,07[C  ]| "At any rate$0$, it is safer to$9$ leave$1$ people to$4$ their own$2$ 
109:087,08[C  ]| devices on$4$ such subjects. Every*body likes to$9$ go their 
109:087,09[C  ]| own$2$ way ~~ to$9$ choose their own$2$ time and manner of 
109:087,10[C  ]| devotion. The obligation of attendance, the formality, 
109:087,11[C  ]| the restraint, the length of time ~~ altogether it is a formidable 
109:087,12[C  ]| thing, and what nobody likes: and if the good 
109:087,13[C  ]| people who$6#1$ used to$9$ kneel and gape in$4$ that$6#2$ gallery could 
109:087,14[C  ]| have foreseen that$3$ the time would ever come when men 
109:087,15[C  ]| and women might lie$1$ another ten minutes in$4$ bed, when 
109:087,16[C  ]| they woke with a headach, without danger of reprobation, 
109:087,17[C  ]| because chapel was missed, they would have jumped 
109:087,18[C  ]| with joy and envy$0$. Cannot you imagine with what 
109:087,19[C  ]| unwilling feelings the former belles of the house of $MP#K$Rushworth 
109:087,20[C  ]| did many a time repair to$4$ this chapel? The 
109:087,21[C  ]| young $MP#X$Mrs%*Eleanors and $MP#X$Mrs%*Bridgets ~~ starched up$5$ into 
109:087,22[C  ]| seeming piety, but with heads full of something very 
109:087,23[C  ]| different ~~ especially if the poor chaplain were not worth 
109:087,24[C  ]| looking at ~~ and, in$4$ those days, I fancy$1$ parsons were very 
109:087,25[C  ]| inferior even$5$ to$4$ what they are now." 
109:087,26['  ]| For$4$ a few moments she was unanswered. $MP#A$Fanny 
109:087,27['  ]| coloured and looked at $MP#B$Edmund, but felt too$5#1$ angry for$4$
109:087,28['  ]| speech; and \he\ needed a little recollection before$3$ he 
109:087,29['  ]| could say, 
109:087,29[B  ]| "Your lively mind$0$ can hardly be serious$2$ even$5$ 
109:087,30[B  ]| on$4$ serious$2$ subjects. You have given us an amusing 
109:087,31[B  ]| sketch, and human nature cannot say it was not so$5#2$. 
109:087,32[B  ]| We must all feel \at\ \times\ the difficulty of fixing our 
109:087,33[B  ]| thoughts as we could wish$1$; but if you are supposing it 
109:087,34[B  ]| a frequent thing, that$6#2$ is to$9$ say, a weakness grown into 
109:087,35[B  ]| a habit from neglect$0$, what could be expected from the 
109:087,36[B  ]| \private$2$\ devotions of such persons? Do you think the 
109:087,37[B  ]| minds which$6#1$ are suffered, which$6#1$ are indulged in$4$ wanderings 
109:087,38[B  ]| in$4$ a chapel, would be more collected in$4$ a closet?" 
109:088,01[C  ]| "Yes, very likely. They would have two chances at 
109:088,02[C  ]| least in$4$ their favour$0$. There would be less to$9$ distract 
109:088,03[C  ]| the attention from without, and it would not be tried 
109:088,04[C  ]| so$5#1$ long." 
109:088,05[B  ]| "The mind$0$ which$6#1$ does not struggle$1$ against itself 
109:088,06[B  ]| under \one\ circumstance, would find objects$0$ to$9$ distract it 
109:088,07[B  ]| in$4$ the \other\, I believe; and the influence$0$ of the place$0$ and 
109:088,08[B  ]| of example may$1$ often rouse better feelings than are begun 
109:088,09[B  ]| with. The greater length of the service, however, I admit 
109:088,10[B  ]| to$9$ be sometimes too$5#1$ hard a stretch upon$4$ the mind$0$. 
109:088,11[B  ]| One wishes$1$ it were not so$5#2$ ~~ but I have not yet left Oxford 
109:088,12[B  ]| long enough to$9$ forget what chapel prayers are." 
109:088,13['  ]| While$3$ this was passing, the rest$0#1$ of the party being$1$ 
109:088,14['  ]| scattered about$4$ the chapel, $MP#I$Julia called $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
109:088,15['  ]| attention to$4$ her sister, by$4$ saying, 
109:088,15[I  ]| "Do look$1$ at $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
109:088,16[I  ]| and $MP#H$Maria, standing side$0$ by$4$ side$0$, exactly as 
109:088,17[I  ]| if the ceremony were going to$9$ be performed. Have not 
109:088,18[I  ]| they completely the air of it?" 
109:088,19['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford smiled his acquiescence, and stepping 
109:088,20['  ]| forward$5$ to$4$ $MP#H$Maria, said, in$4$ a voice which$6#1$ she only could 
109:088,21['  ]| hear, 
109:088,21[D  ]| "I do not like$1$ to$9$ see $MP#H$Miss*Bertram so$5#1$ near$4$ the 
109:088,22[D  ]| altar." 
109:088,23['  ]| Starting, the lady instinctively moved a step$0$ or two, 
109:088,24['  ]| but recovering herself in$4$ a moment, affected to$9$ laugh$1$, 
109:088,25['  ]| and asked him, in$4$ a tone not much louder, 
109:088,25[H  ]| "if he would 
109:088,26[H  ]| give her away?" 
109:088,27[D  ]| "I am afraid I should do it very awkwardly," 
109:088,27['  ]| was his 
109:088,28['  ]| reply$0$, with a look$0$ of meaning. 
109:088,29['  ]| $MP#I$Julia joining them at the moment, carried on$5$ the joke. 
109:088,30[I  ]| "Upon$4$ my word, it is really a pity$0$ that$3$ it should not 
109:088,31[I  ]| take place$0$ directly, if we had but a proper license, for$3$ here 
109:088,32[I  ]| we are altogether, and nothing in$4$ the world could be more 
109:088,33[I  ]| snug and pleasant." 
109:088,33['  ]| And she talked and laughed about$4$ 
109:088,34['  ]| it with so$5#1$ little caution$0$, as to$9$ catch$1$ the comprehension 
109:088,35['  ]| of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth and his mother, and expose her sister 
109:088,36['  ]| to$4$ the whispered gallantries of her lover, while$3$ 
109:088,36['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth 
109:088,37['  ]| spoke with proper smiles and dignity of 
109:088,37@l   | its 
109:088,38@l   | being$1$ a most happy event to$4$ her whenever it took place$0$. 
109:089,01[I  ]| "If $MP#B$Edmund were but in$4$ orders$0#2$!" 
109:089,01['  ]| cried $MP#I$Julia, and 
109:089,02['  ]| running to$4$ where he stood with $MP#C$Miss*Crawford and $MP#A$Fanny; 
109:089,03[I  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#B$Edmund, if you were but in$4$ orders$0#2$ now, you 
109:089,04[I  ]| might perform the ceremony directly. How unlucky 
109:089,05[I  ]| that$3$ you are not ordained, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth and $MP#H$Maria are 
109:089,06[I  ]| quite ready." 
109:089,07['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's countenance, as $MP#I$Julia spoke, might 
109:089,08['  ]| have amused a disinterested observer. She looked almost 
109:089,09['  ]| aghast under the new idea she was receiving. $MP#A$Fanny 
109:089,10['  ]| pitied her. 
109:089,10@a   | "How distressed she will$1$ be at what she said 
109:089,11@a   | just$5$ now," 
109:089,11['  ]| passed across$4$ her mind$0$. 
109:089,12[C  ]| "Ordained!" 
109:089,12['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; 
109:089,12[C  ]| "what, are you to$9$ 
109:089,13[C  ]| be a clergyman?" 
109:089,14[B  ]| "Yes, I shall take orders$0#2$ soon after$4$ my father's return$0$ ~~ 
109:089,15[B  ]| probably at Christmas." 
109:089,16['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford rallying her spirits, and recovering her 
109:089,17['  ]| complexion, replied only, 
109:089,17[C  ]| "If I had known this before$5$, 
109:089,18[C  ]| I would have spoken of the cloth with more respect$0$," 
109:089,19['  ]| and turned the subject$0$. 
109:089,20['  ]| The chapel was soon afterwards left to$4$ the silence$0$ 
109:089,21['  ]| and stillness which$6#1$ reigned in$4$ it with few interruptions 
109:089,22['  ]| throughout the year. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, displeased with her 
109:089,23['  ]| sister, led the way, and all seemed to$9$ feel that$3$ they had 
109:089,24['  ]| been there long enough. 
109:089,25['  ]| The lower$2$ part$0$ of the house had been now entirely 
109:089,26['  ]| shown, and $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, never weary in$4$ the cause, 
109:089,27['  ]| would have proceeded towards the principal$2$ stair-case, 
109:089,28['  ]| and taken them through$4$ all the rooms above$5$, if her son 
109:089,29['  ]| had not interposed with a doubt$0$ of there being$1$ time 
109:089,30['  ]| enough. 
109:089,30[K  ]| "For$3$ if," 
109:089,30['  ]| said he, with the sort of self-evident 
109:089,31['  ]| proposition which$6#1$ many a clearer head$0$ does not always 
109:089,32['  ]| avoid ~~ 
109:089,32[K  ]| "we are \too$5#1$\ long going over the house, we shall 
109:089,33[K  ]| not have time for$4$ what is to$9$ be done out$5$ of doors. It is 
109:089,34[K  ]| past$4$ two, and we are to$9$ dine at five." 
109:089,35['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth submitted, and the question$0$ of surveying 
109:089,36['  ]| the grounds, with the who$6#1$ and the how, was likely to$9$ 
109:089,37['  ]| be more fully agitated, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was beginning to$9$ 
109:089,38['  ]| arrange by$4$ what junction of carriages and horses most 
109:090,01['  ]| could be done, when the young people, meeting with an 
109:090,02['  ]| outward door, temptingly open$2$ on$4$ a flight of steps which$6#1$ 
109:090,03['  ]| led immediately to$4$ turf and shrubs, and all the sweets of 
109:090,04['  ]| pleasure-grounds, as by$4$ one impulse, one wish$0$ for$4$ air and 
109:090,05['  ]| liberty, all walked out$5$. 
109:090,06[L  ]| "Suppose we turn$1$ down$5$ here for$4$ the present$0#1$," 
109:090,06['  ]| said 
109:090,07['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, civilly taking the hint$0$ and following 
109:090,08['  ]| them. 
109:090,08[L  ]| "Here are the greatest number of our plants, 
109:090,09[L  ]| and here are the curious pheasants." 
109:090,10[D  ]| "Query," 
109:090,10['  ]| said $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, looking round$4$ him, 
109:090,11[D  ]| "whether we may$1$ not find something to$9$ employ us here, 
109:090,12[D  ]| before$3$ we go farther? I see walls of great promise$0$. 
109:090,12[D  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
109:090,13[D  ]| shall we summon a council on$4$ this lawn?" 
109:090,14[L  ]| "$MP#K$James," 
109:090,14['  ]| said $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth to$4$ her son, 
109:090,14[L  ]| "I believe 
109:090,15[L  ]| the wilderness will$1$ be new to$4$ all the party. The 
109:090,15[L  ]| $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams 
109:090,16[L  ]| have never seen the wilderness yet." 
109:090,17['  ]| No$2$ objection was made, but for$4$ some time there seemed 
109:090,18['  ]| no$2$ inclination to$9$ move$1$ in$4$ any plan, or to$4$ any distance$0$. 
109:090,19['  ]| All were attracted at first by$4$ the plants or the pheasants, 
109:090,20['  ]| and all dispersed about$5$ in$4$ happy independence. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
109:090,21['  ]| was the first to$9$ move$1$ forward$5$, to$9$ examine the 
109:090,22['  ]| capabilities of that$6#2$ end$0$ of the house. The lawn, bounded 
109:090,23['  ]| on$4$ each side$0$ by$4$ a high wall, contained beyond$4$ the first 
109:090,24['  ]| planted a*erea, a bowling-green, and beyond$4$ the bowling-green 
109:090,25['  ]| a long terrace walk$0$, backed by$4$ iron palissades, 
109:090,26['  ]| and commanding a view$0$ over them into the tops of the 
109:090,27['  ]| trees of the wilderness immediately adjoining. It was 
109:090,28['  ]| a good spot for$4$ fault-finding. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was soon 
109:090,29['  ]| followed by$4$ $MP#H$Miss*Bertram and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, and when 
109:090,30['  ]| after$4$ a little time the others began to$9$ form$1$ into parties, 
109:090,31['  ]| these three were found in$4$ busy consultation on$4$ the 
109:090,32['  ]| terrace by$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford and $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ 
109:090,33['  ]| seemed as naturally to$9$ unite, and who$6#1$ after$4$ a short 
109:090,34['  ]| participation of their regrets and difficulties, left them 
109:090,35['  ]| and walked on$5$. The remaining three, $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
109:090,36['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, and $MP#I$Julia, were still$5$ far behind; for$3$ $MP#I$Julia, 
109:090,37['  ]| whose$6#1$ happy star no$2$ longer prevailed, was obliged to$9$ keep 
109:090,38['  ]| by$4$ the side$0$ of $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, and restrain her impatient 
109:091,01['  ]| feet to$4$ that$6#2$ lady's slow pace$0$, while$3$ her aunt, having fallen 
109:091,02['  ]| in$5$ with the housekeeper, who$6#1$ was come out$5$ to$9$ feed the 
109:091,03['  ]| pheasants, was lingering behind in$4$ gossip with her. 
109:091,04['  ]| Poor $MP#I$Julia, the only one out$5$ of the nine not tolerably 
109:091,05['  ]| satisfied with their lot, was now in$4$ a state$0$ of complete$2$ 
109:091,06['  ]| penance, and as different from the $MP#I$Julia of the barouche-box 
109:091,07['  ]| as could well$5$ be imagined. The politeness which$6#1$ she 
109:091,08['  ]| had been brought up$5$ to$9$ practise as a duty, made it 
109:091,09['  ]| impossible for$4$ her to$9$ escape$1$; while$3$ the want$0$ of that$6#2$ 
109:091,10['  ]| higher species of self-command, that$6#2$ just$2$ consideration of 
109:091,11['  ]| others, that$6#2$ knowledge of her own$2$ heart, that$6#2$ principle of 
109:091,12['  ]| right$0$ which$6#1$ had not formed any essential part$0$ of her 
109:091,13['  ]| education, made her miserable under it. 
109:091,14[C  ]| "This is insufferably hot," 
109:091,14['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford when 
109:091,15['  ]| they had taken one turn$0$ on$4$ the terrace, and were drawing 
109:091,16['  ]| a second$2$ time to$4$ the door in$4$ the middle which$6#1$ opened to$4$ 
109:091,17['  ]| the wilderness. 
109:091,17[C  ]| "Shall any of us object$1$ to$4$ being$1$ comfortable? 
109:091,18[C  ]| Here is a nice little wood, if one can but get 
109:091,19[C  ]| into it. What happiness if the door should not be 
109:091,20[C  ]| locked! ~~ but of course$8$ it is, for$3$ in$4$ these great places$0$, 
109:091,21[C  ]| the gardeners are the only people who$6#1$ can go where they 
109:091,22[C  ]| like$1$." 
109:091,23['  ]| The door, however, proved not to$9$ be locked, and they 
109:091,24['  ]| were all agreed in$4$ turning joyfully through$4$ it, and leaving 
109:091,25['  ]| the unmitigated glare of day behind. A considerable 
109:091,26['  ]| flight of steps landed them in$4$ the wilderness, which$6#1$ was 
109:091,27['  ]| a planted wood of about$4$ two acres, and though chiefly of 
109:091,28['  ]| larch and laurel, and beech cut$1$ down$5$, and though laid 
109:091,29['  ]| out$5$ with too$5#1$ much regularity, was darkness and shade, 
109:091,30['  ]| and natural$2$ beauty, compared with the bowling-green 
109:091,31['  ]| and the terrace. They all felt the refreshment of it, and 
109:091,32['  ]| for$4$ some time could only walk$1$ and admire. At length, 
109:091,33['  ]| after$4$ a short pause$0$, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford began with, 
109:091,33[C  ]| "So$3$ you 
109:091,34[C  ]| are to$9$ be a clergyman, $MP#B$Mr%*Bertram. This is rather 
109:091,35[C  ]| a surprise$0$ to$4$ me." 
109:091,36[B  ]| "Why should it surprise$1$ you? You must suppose me 
109:091,37[B  ]| designed for$4$ some profession$0#2$, and might perceive that$3$ 
109:091,38[B  ]| I am neither a lawyer, nor a soldier, nor a sailor." 
109:092,01[C  ]| "Very true; but, in$4$ short, it had not occurred to$4$ me. 
109:092,02[C  ]| And you know there is generally an uncle or a grandfather 
109:092,03[C  ]| to$9$ leave$1$ a fortune to$4$ the second$2$ son." 
109:092,04[B  ]| "A very praiseworthy practice$0$," 
109:092,04['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
109:092,04[B  ]| "but 
109:092,05[B  ]| not quite universal. I am one of the exceptions, and 
109:092,06[B  ]| \being$1$\ one, must do something for$4$ myself." 
109:092,07[C  ]| "But why are you to$9$ be a clergyman? I thought$1$ \that$6#2$\ 
109:092,08[C  ]| was always the lot of the youngest, where there were many 
109:092,09[C  ]| to$9$ choose before$4$ him." 
109:092,10[B  ]| "Do you think the church itself never chosen then?" 
109:092,11[C  ]| "\Never\ is a black word. But yes, in$4$ the \never\ of 
109:092,12[C  ]| conversation which$6#1$ means$1$ \not\ \very\ \often\, I do think it. 
109:092,13[C  ]| For$3$ what is to$9$ be done in$4$ the church? Men love$1$ to$9$ 
109:092,14[C  ]| distinguish themselves, and in$4$ either of the other lines, 
109:092,15[C  ]| distinction may$1$ be gained, but not in$4$ the church. A 
109:092,16[C  ]| clergyman is nothing." 
109:092,17[B  ]| "The \nothing\ of conversation has its gradations, I hope$1$, 
109:092,18[B  ]| as well$5$ as the \never\. A clergyman cannot be high in$4$ 
109:092,19[B  ]| state$0$ or fashion$0$. He must not head$1$ mobs, or set$1$ the 
109:092,20[B  ]| ton in$4$ dress$0$. But I cannot call$1$ that$6#2$ situation nothing, 
109:092,21[B  ]| which$6#1$ has the charge$0$ of all that$6#1$ is of the first importance 
109:092,22[B  ]| to$4$ mankind, individually or collectively considered, 
109:092,23[B  ]| temporally and eternally ~~ which$6#1$ has the guardianship 
109:092,24[B  ]| of religion and morals, and consequently of the manners 
109:092,25[B  ]| which$6#1$ result$1$ from their influence$0$. No*one here can call$1$ 
109:092,26[B  ]| the \office\ nothing. If the man who$6#1$ holds it is so$5#2$, it is 
109:092,27[B  ]| by$4$ the neglect$0$ of his duty, by$4$ foregoing its just$2$ importance, 
109:092,28[B  ]| and stepping out$5$ of his place$0$ to$9$ appear what he 
109:092,29[B  ]| ought not to$9$ appear." 
109:092,30[C  ]| "\You\ assign greater consequence to$4$ the clergyman 
109:092,31[C  ]| than one has been used to$9$ hear given, or than I can quite 
109:092,32[C  ]| comprehend. One does not see much of this influence$0$ 
109:092,33[C  ]| and importance in$4$ society, and how can it be acquired 
109:092,34[C  ]| where they are so$5#1$ seldom seen themselves? How can 
109:092,35[C  ]| two sermons a week, even$5$ supposing them worth hearing, 
109:092,36[C  ]| supposing the preacher to$9$ have the sense to$9$ prefer $MP#Z1$Blair's 
109:092,37[C  ]| to$4$ his own$2$, do all that$6#1$ you speak of? govern the conduct$0$ 
109:092,38[C  ]| and fashion$0$ the manners of a large congregation for$4$ the 
109:093,01[C  ]| rest$0#1$ of the week? One scarcely sees a clergyman out$5$ 
109:093,02[C  ]| of his pulpit." 
109:093,03[B  ]| "\You\ are speaking of London, \I\ am speaking of the 
109:093,04[B  ]| nation at large." 
109:093,05[C  ]| "The metropolis, I imagine, is a pretty$5$ fair sample 
109:093,06[C  ]| of the rest$0#1$." 
109:093,07[B  ]| "Not, I should hope$1$, of the proportion of virtue to$4$ vice 
109:093,08[B  ]| throughout the kingdom. We do not look$1$ in$4$ great cities 
109:093,09[B  ]| for$4$ our best morality. It is not there, that$3$ respectable 
109:093,10[B  ]| people of any denomination can do most good; and it 
109:093,11[B  ]| certainly is not there, that$3$ the influence$0$ of the clergy 
109:093,12[B  ]| can be most felt. A fine preacher is followed and admired; 
109:093,13[B  ]| but it is not in$4$ fine preaching only that$3$ a good 
109:093,14[B  ]| clergyman will$1$ be useful in$4$ his parish and his neighbourhood, 
109:093,15[B  ]| where the parish and neighbourhood are of a size 
109:093,16[B  ]| capable of knowing his private$2$ character, and observing 
109:093,17[B  ]| his general$2$ conduct$0$, which$6#1$ in$4$ London can rarely be the 
109:093,18[B  ]| case. The clergy are lost there in$4$ the crowds of their 
109:093,19[B  ]| parishioners. They are known to$4$ the largest part$0$ only 
109:093,20[B  ]| as preachers. And with regard$0$ to$4$ their influencing 
109:093,21[B  ]| public$2$ manners, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford must not misunderstand 
109:093,22[B  ]| me, or suppose I mean$1$ to$9$ call$1$ them the arbiters of good*breeding, 
109:093,23[B  ]| the regulators of refinement and courtesy, the 
109:093,24[B  ]| masters of the ceremonies of life. The \manners\ I speak of, 
109:093,25[B  ]| might rather be called \conduct$0$\, perhaps, the result$0$ of good 
109:093,26[B  ]| principles; the effect$0$, in$4$ short, of those doctrines which$6#1$ 
109:093,27[B  ]| it is their duty to$9$ teach and recommend; and it will$1$, I believe, 
109:093,28[B  ]| be every*where found, that$3$ as the clergy are, or are 
109:093,29[B  ]| not what they ought to$9$ be, so$5#2$ are the rest$0#1$ of the nation." 
109:093,30[A  ]| "Certainly," 
109:093,30['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny with gentle earnestness. 
109:093,31[C  ]| "There," 
109:093,31['  ]| cried $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
109:093,31[C  ]| "you have quite 
109:093,32[C  ]| convinced $MP#A$Miss*Price already." 
109:093,33[B  ]| "I wish$1$ I could convince $MP#C$Miss*Crawford too$5#2$." 
109:093,34[C  ]| "I do not think you ever will$1$," 
109:093,34['  ]| said she with an arch 
109:093,35['  ]| smile$0$; 
109:093,35[C  ]| "I am just$5$ as much surprised now as I was at 
109:093,36[C  ]| first that$3$ you should intend to$9$ take orders$0#2$. You really 
109:093,37[C  ]| are fit$2$ for$4$ something better. Come, do change$1$ your mind$0$. 
109:093,38[C  ]| It is not too$5#1$ late. Go into the law." 
109:094,01[B  ]| "Go into the law! with as much ease$0$ as I was told 
109:094,02[B  ]| to$9$ go into this wilderness." 
109:094,03[C  ]| "Now you are going to$9$ say something about$4$ law 
109:094,04[C  ]| being$1$ the worst wilderness of the two, but I forestall you; 
109:094,05[C  ]| remember I have forestalled you." 
109:094,06[B  ]| "You need$1$ not hurry$1$ when the object$0$ is only to$9$ 
109:094,07[B  ]| prevent my saying a bon-mot, for$3$ there is not the least 
109:094,08[B  ]| wit in$4$ my nature. I am a very matter of fact, plain 
109:094,09[B  ]| spoken being$0$, and may$1$ blunder$1$ on$4$ the borders of a 
109:094,10[B  ]| repartee for$4$ half an hour together without striking it out$5$." 
109:094,11['  ]| A general$2$ silence$0$ succeeded. Each was thoughtful. 
109:094,12['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny made the first interruption by$4$ saying, 
109:094,12[A  ]| "I wonder$1$ 
109:094,13[A  ]| that$3$ I should be tired with only walking in$4$ this sweet 
109:094,14[A  ]| wood; but the next time we come to$4$ a seat, if it is not 
109:094,15[A  ]| disagreeable to$4$ you, I should be glad to$9$ sit down$5$ for$4$ 
109:094,16[A  ]| a little while$0$." 
109:094,17[B  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny," 
109:094,17['  ]| cried $MP#B$Edmund, immediately drawing 
109:094,18['  ]| her arm$0$ within his, 
109:094,18[B  ]| "how thoughtless I have been! 
109:094,19[B  ]| I hope$1$ you are not very tired. Perhaps," 
109:094,19['  ]| turning to$4$ 
109:094,20['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
109:094,20[B  ]| "my other companion may$1$ do me the 
109:094,21[B  ]| honour$0$ of taking an arm$0$." 
109:094,22[C  ]| "Thank you, but I am not at all tired." 
109:094,22['  ]| She took it, 
109:094,23['  ]| however, as she spoke, and the gratification of having 
109:094,24['  ]| her do so$5#2$, of feeling such a connection for$4$ the first time, 
109:094,25['  ]| made him a little forgetful of $MP#A$Fanny. 
109:094,25[B  ]| "You scarcely 
109:094,26[B  ]| touch$1$ me." 
109:094,26['  ]| said he. 
109:094,26[B  ]| "You do not make$1$ me of any use$0$. 
109:094,27[B  ]| What a difference in$4$ the weight of a woman's arm$0$ from 
109:094,28[B  ]| that$6#2$ of a man! At Oxford I have been a good deal$0$ used 
109:094,29[B  ]| to$9$ have a man lean on$4$ me for$4$ the length of a street, and 
109:094,30[B  ]| you are only a fly$0$ in$4$ the comparison." 
109:094,31[C  ]| "I am really not tired, which$6#1$ I almost wonder$1$ at; 
109:094,32[C  ]| for$3$ we must have walked at least a mile in$4$ this wood. 
109:094,33[C  ]| Do not you think we have?" 
109:094,34[B  ]| "Not half a mile," 
109:094,34['  ]| was his sturdy answer$0$; for$3$ he was 
109:094,35['  ]| not yet so$5#1$ much in$4$ love$0$ as to$9$ measure$1$ distance$0$, or reckon 
109:094,36['  ]| time, with feminine lawlessness. 
109:094,37[C  ]| "Oh! you do not consider how much we have wound$1#1$ 
109:094,38[C  ]| about$5$. We have taken such a very serpentine course$0$; 
109:095,01[C  ]| and the wood itself must be half a mile long in$4$ a straight 
109:095,02[C  ]| line, for$3$ we have never seen the end$0$ of it yet, since we 
109:095,03[C  ]| left the first great path." 
109:095,04[B  ]| "But if you remember, before$3$ we left that$6#2$ first great 
109:095,05[B  ]| path, we saw directly to$4$ the end$0$ of it. We looked down$4$ 
109:095,06[B  ]| the whole$2$ vista, and saw it closed by$4$ iron gates, and it 
109:095,07[B  ]| could not have been more than a furlong in$4$ length." 
109:095,08[C  ]| "Oh! I know nothing of your furlongs, but I am sure 
109:095,09[C  ]| it is a very long wood; and that$3$ we have been winding 
109:095,10[C  ]| in$5$ and out$5$ ever since we came into it; and therefore 
109:095,11[C  ]| when I say that$3$ we have walked a mile in$4$ it, I must 
109:095,12[C  ]| speak within compass." 
109:095,13[B  ]| "We have been exactly a quarter$0#1$ of an hour here," 
109:095,14['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, taking out$5$ his watch$0$. 
109:095,14[B  ]| "Do you think we 
109:095,15[B  ]| are walking four miles an hour?" 
109:095,16[C  ]| "Oh! do not attack$1$ me with your watch$0$. A watch$0$ 
109:095,17[C  ]| is always too$5#1$ fast or too$5#1$ slow. I cannot be dictated to$5$ 
109:095,18[C  ]| by$4$ a watch$0$." 
109:095,19['  ]| A few steps farther brought them out$5$ at the bottom 
109:095,20['  ]| of the very walk$0$ they had been talking of; and standing 
109:095,21['  ]| back$5$, well$5$ shaded and sheltered, and looking over a ha-ha 
109:095,22['  ]| into the park, was a comfortable-sized bench, on$4$ which$6#1$ 
109:095,23['  ]| they all sat down$5$. 
109:095,24[B  ]| "I am afraid you are very tired, $MP#A$Fanny," 
109:095,24['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
109:095,25['  ]| observing her; 
109:095,25[B  ]| "why would not you speak sooner? 
109:095,26[B  ]| This will$1$ be a bad day's amusement for$4$ you, if you are 
109:095,27[B  ]| to$9$ be knocked up$5$. Every sort of exercise$0$ fatigues$1$ her so$5#1$ 
109:095,28[B  ]| soon, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, except riding." 
109:095,29[C  ]| "How abominable in$4$ you, then, to$9$ let me engross her 
109:095,30[C  ]| horse as I did all last$2$ week! I am ashamed of you and 
109:095,31[C  ]| of myself, but it shall never happen again." 
109:095,32[B  ]| "\Your\ attentiveness and consideration make$1$ me more 
109:095,33[B  ]| sensible$2#1$ of my own$2$ neglect$0$. $MP#A$Fanny's interest$0$ seems in$4$ 
109:095,34[B  ]| safer hands with you than with me." 
109:095,35[C  ]| "That$3$ she should be tired now, however, gives me no$2$ 
109:095,36[C  ]| surprise$0$; for$3$ there is nothing in$4$ the course$0$ of one's 
109:095,37[C  ]| duties so$5#1$ fatiguing as what we have been doing this 
109:095,38[C  ]| morning ~~ seeing a great house, dawdling from one room 
109:096,01[C  ]| to$4$ another ~~ straining one's eyes and one's attention ~~ 
109:096,02[C  ]| hearing what one does not understand ~~ admiring what 
109:096,03[C  ]| one does not care$1$ for$4$. ~~ It is generally allowed to$9$ be the 
109:096,04[C  ]| greatest bore$0$ in$4$ the world, and $MP#A$Miss*Price has found it so$5#2$, 
109:096,05[C  ]| though she did not know it." 
109:096,06[A  ]| "I shall soon be rested," 
109:096,06['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny; 
109:096,06[A  ]| "to$9$ sit in$4$ the 
109:096,07[A  ]| shade on$4$ a fine day, and look$1$ upon$4$ verdure, is the most 
109:096,08[A  ]| perfect$2$ refreshment." 
109:096,09['  ]| After$4$ sitting a little while$0$, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was up$5$ again. 
109:096,10[C  ]| "I must move$1$," 
109:096,10['  ]| said she, 
109:096,10[C  ]| "resting fatigues$1$ me. ~~ I have 
109:096,11[C  ]| looked across$4$ the ha-ha till I am weary. I must go and 
109:096,12[C  ]| look$1$ through$4$ that$6#2$ iron gate at the same view$0$, without 
109:096,13[C  ]| being$1$ able to$9$ see it so$5#1$ well$5$." 
109:096,14['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund left the seat likewise. 
109:096,14[B  ]| "Now, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
109:096,15[B  ]| if you will$1$ look$1$ up$4$ the walk$0$, you will$1$ convince yourself 
109:096,16[B  ]| that$3$ it cannot be half a mile long, or half half a mile." 
109:096,17[C  ]| "It is an immense distance$0$," 
109:096,17['  ]| said she; 
109:096,17[C  ]| "I see \that$6#2$\ 
109:096,18[C  ]| with a glance$0$." 
109:096,19['  ]| He still$5$ reasoned with her, but in$4$ vain. She would 
109:096,20['  ]| not calculate, she would not compare. She would only 
109:096,21['  ]| smile$1$ and assert. The greatest degree of rational consistency 
109:096,22['  ]| could not have been more engaging, and they 
109:096,23['  ]| talked with mutual satisfaction. At last$0$ it was agreed, 
109:096,24['  ]| that$3$ 
109:096,24@y   | they should endeavour$1$ to$9$ determine the dimensions 
109:096,25@y   | of the wood by$4$ walking a little more about$4$ it. They 
109:096,26@y   | would go to$4$ one end$0$ of it, in$4$ the line they were then in$4$ 
109:096,27['  ]| (for$3$ there was a straight green walk$0$ along$4$ the bottom by$4$ 
109:096,28['  ]| the side$0$ of the ha-ha,) 
109:096,28@y   | and perhaps turn$1$ a little way in$4$ 
109:096,29@y   | some other direction, if it seemed likely to$9$ assist them, 
109:096,30@y   | and be back$5$ in$4$ a few minutes. 
109:096,30['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny said she was
109:096,31['  ]| rested, and would have moved too$5#2$, but this was not 
109:096,32['  ]| suffered. $MP#B$Edmund urged her remaining where she was
109:096,33['  ]| with an earnestness which$6#1$ she could not resist, and she 
109:096,34['  ]| was left on$4$ the bench to$9$ think with pleasure of her
109:096,35['  ]| cousin's care$0$, but with great regret$0$ that$3$ she was not 
109:096,36['  ]| stronger. She watched them till they had turned the 
109:096,37['  ]| corner, and listened till all sound$0$ of them had ceased. 
110:097,01['  ]| A quarter$0#1$ of an hour, twenty minutes, passed away, 
110:097,02['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny was still$5$ thinking of $MP#B$Edmund, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
110:097,03['  ]| and herself, without interruption from any*one. She 
110:097,04['  ]| began to$9$ be surprised at being$1$ left so$5#1$ long, and to$9$ listen 
110:097,05['  ]| with an anxious desire$0$ of hearing their steps and their 
110:097,06['  ]| voices again. She listened, and at length she heard; 
110:097,07['  ]| she heard voices and feet approaching; but she had just$5$ 
110:097,08['  ]| satisfied herself that$3$ it was not those she wanted, when 
110:097,09['  ]| $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, issued 
110:097,10['  ]| from the same path which$6#1$ she had trod herself, and 
110:097,11['  ]| were before$4$ her. 
110:097,12[Y  ]| "$MP#A$Miss*Price all alone!" 
110:097,12['  ]| and 
110:097,12[H  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, how 
110:097,13[H  ]| comes this?" 
110:097,13['  ]| were the first salutations. She told her 
110:097,14['  ]| story. 
110:097,14[H  ]| "Poor dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny," 
110:097,14['  ]| cried her cousin, 
110:097,14[H  ]| "how ill 
110:097,15[H  ]| you have been used by$4$ them! You had better have 
110:097,16[H  ]| staid with us." 
110:097,17['  ]| Then seating herself with a gentleman on$4$ each side$0$, 
110:097,18['  ]| she resumed the conversation which$6#1$ had engaged them 
110:097,19['  ]| before$5$, and discussed the possibility of improvements 
110:097,20['  ]| with much animation. Nothing was fixed on$5$ ~~ but 
110:097,21['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was full of ideas and projects, and, 
110:097,22['  ]| generally speaking, whatever he proposed was immediately 
110:097,23['  ]| approved, first by$4$ her, and then by$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
110:097,24['  ]| whose$6#1$ principal$2$ business seemed to$9$ be to$9$ hear 
110:097,25['  ]| the others, and who$6#1$ scarcely risked an original thought$0$ 
110:097,26['  ]| of his own$2$ beyond$4$ 
110:097,26@k   | a wish$0$ that$3$ they had seen his friend 
110:097,27@k   | $MP#ZZJ$Smith's place$0$. 
110:097,28['  ]| After$4$ some minutes spent in$4$ this way, $MP#H$Miss*Bertram 
110:097,29['  ]| observing the iron gate, expressed 
110:097,29@h   | a wish$0$ of passing 
110:097,30@h   | through$4$ it into the park, that$3$ their views and their plans 
110:097,31@h   | might be more comprehensive. 
110:097,31@d   | It was the very thing 
110:097,32@d   | of all others to$9$ be wished, it was the best, it was the only 
110:097,33@d   | way of proceeding with any advantage, 
110:097,33['  ]| in$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's 
110:098,01['  ]| opinion; 
110:098,01@d   | and he directly saw a knoll not half 
110:098,02@d   | a mile off, which$6#1$ would give them exactly the requisite 
110:098,03@d   | command$0$ of the house. 
110:098,03['  ]| Go therefore they must to$4$ that$6#2$ 
110:098,04['  ]| knoll, and through$4$ that$6#2$ gate; but the gate was locked. 
110:098,05['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
110:098,05@k   | wished he had brought the key; he had 
110:098,06@k   | been very near$5$ thinking whether he should not bring the 
110:098,07@k   | key; he was determined he would never come without 
110:098,08@k   | the key again; 
110:098,08['  ]| but still$5$ this did not remove$1$ the present$2$ 
110:098,09['  ]| evil. They could not get through$5$; and as $MP#H$Miss*Bertram's 
110:098,10['  ]| inclination for$4$ so$5#2$ doing did by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ lessen, it ended 
110:098,11['  ]| in$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's declaring outright that$3$ 
110:098,11@k   | he would go 
110:098,12@k   | and fetch the key. 
110:098,12['  ]| He set$1$ off accordingly. 
110:098,13[D  ]| "It is undoubtedly the best thing we can do now, as 
110:098,14[D  ]| we are so$5#1$ far from the house already," 
110:098,14['  ]| said $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
110:098,15['  ]| when he was gone. 
110:098,16[H  ]| "Yes, there is nothing else to$9$ be done. But now, 
110:098,17[H  ]| sincerely, do not you find the place$0$ altogether worse than 
110:098,18[H  ]| you expected?" 
110:098,19[D  ]| "No$7$, indeed, far otherwise. I find it better, grander, 
110:098,20[D  ]| more complete$2$ in$4$ its style, though that$6#2$ style may$1$ not be 
110:098,21[D  ]| the best. And to$9$ tell you the truth," 
110:098,21['  ]| speaking rather 
110:098,22['  ]| lower$2$, 
110:098,22[D  ]| "I do not think that$3$ \I\ shall ever see Sotherton 
110:098,23[D  ]| again with so$5#1$ much pleasure as I do now. Another 
110:098,24[D  ]| summer will$1$ hardly improve it to$4$ me." 
110:098,25['  ]| After$4$ a moment's embarrassment the lady replied, 
110:098,26[H  ]| "You are too$5#1$ much a man of the world not to$9$ see with the 
110:098,27[H  ]| eyes of the world. If other people think Sotherton 
110:098,28[H  ]| improved, I have no$2$ doubt$0$ that$3$ you will$1$." 
110:098,29[D  ]| "I am afraid I am not quite so$5#1$ much the man of the 
110:098,30[D  ]| world as might be good for$4$ me in$4$ some points. My 
110:098,31[D  ]| feelings are not quite so$5#1$ evanescent, nor my memory of 
110:098,32[D  ]| the past$0$ under such easy dominion as one finds to$9$ be the 
110:098,33[D  ]| case with men of the world." 
110:098,34['  ]| This was followed by$4$ a short silence$0$. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram 
110:098,35['  ]| began again. 
110:098,35[H  ]| "You seemed to$9$ enjoy your drive$0$ here 
110:098,36[H  ]| very much this morning. I was glad to$9$ see you so$5#1$ well$5$ 
110:098,37[H  ]| entertained. You and $MP#I$Julia were laughing the whole$2$ way." 
110:098,38[D  ]| "Were we? Yes, I believe we were; but I have not 
110:099,01[D  ]| the least recollection at what. Oh! I believe I was relating 
110:099,02[D  ]| to$4$ her some ridiculous stories of an old Irish groom of my 
110:099,03[D  ]| uncle's. Your sister loves to$9$ laugh$1$." 
110:099,04[H  ]| "You think her more light-hearted than I am." 
110:099,05[D  ]| "More easily amused," 
110:099,05['  ]| he replied, 
110:099,05[D  ]| "consequently you 
110:099,06[D  ]| know," 
110:099,06['  ]| smiling, 
110:099,06[D  ]| "better company. I could not have 
110:099,07[D  ]| hoped to$9$ entertain \you\ with Irish anecdotes during a ten 
110:099,08[D  ]| miles' drive$0$." 
110:099,09[H  ]| "Naturally, I believe, I am as lively as $MP#I$Julia, but 
110:099,10[H  ]| I have more to$9$ think of now." 
110:099,11[D  ]| "You have undoubtedly ~~ and there are situations in$4$ 
110:099,12[D  ]| which$6#1$ very high spirits would denote insensibility. Your 
110:099,13[D  ]| prospects, however, are too$5#1$ fair to$9$ justify want$0$ of spirits. 
110:099,14[D  ]| You have a very smiling scene before$4$ you." 
110:099,15[H  ]| "Do you mean$1$ literally or figuratively? Literally 
110:099,16[H  ]| I conclude. Yes, certainly, the sun shines and the park 
110:099,17[H  ]| looks$1$ very cheerful. But unluckily that$6#2$ iron gate, that$6#2$ 
110:099,18[H  ]| ha-ha, give me a feeling of restraint and hardship. I cannot 
110:099,19[H  ]| get out$5$, as the starling said." 
110:099,19['  ]| As she spoke, and it 
110:099,20['  ]| was with expression, she walked to$4$ the gate; he followed 
110:099,21['  ]| her. 
110:099,21[H  ]| "$MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is so$5#1$ long fetching this key!" 
110:099,22[D  ]| "And for$4$ the world you would not get out$5$ without 
110:099,23[D  ]| the key and without $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's authority and 
110:099,24[D  ]| protection, or I think you might with little difficulty pass$1$ 
110:099,25[D  ]| round$4$ the edge of the gate, here, with my assistance; 
110:099,26[D  ]| I think it might be done, if you really wished to$9$ be more 
110:099,27[D  ]| at large, and could allow yourself to$9$ think it not 
110:099,28[D  ]| prohibited." 
110:099,29[H  ]| "Prohibited! nonsense! I certainly can get out$5$ that$6#2$ 
110:099,30[H  ]| way, and I will$1$. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth will$1$ be here in$4$ a moment 
110:099,31[H  ]| you know ~~ we shall not be out$5$ of sight." 
110:099,32[D  ]| "Or if we are, $MP#A$Miss*Price will$1$ be so$5#1$ good as to$9$ tell him, 
110:099,33[D  ]| that$3$ he will$1$ find us near$4$ that$6#2$ knoll, the grove of oak on$4$ 
110:099,34[D  ]| the knoll." 
110:099,35['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, feeling all this to$9$ be wrong, could not help$1$ 
110:099,36['  ]| making an effort to$9$ prevent it. 
110:099,36[A  ]| "You will$1$ hurt yourself, 
110:099,37[A  ]| $MP#H$Miss*Bertram," 
110:099,37['  ]| she cried, 
110:099,37[A  ]| "you will$1$ certainly hurt yourself 
110:099,38[A  ]| against those spikes ~~ you will$1$ tear$1$ your gown ~~ you 
110:100,01[A  ]| will$1$ be in$4$ danger of slipping into the ha-ha. You had 
110:100,02[A  ]| better not go." 
110:100,03['  ]| Her cousin was safe on$4$ the other side$0$, while$3$ these 
110:100,04['  ]| words were spoken, and smiling with all the good-humour 
110:100,05['  ]| of success, she said, 
110:100,05[H  ]| "Thank you, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, but 
110:100,06[H  ]| I and my gown are alive and well$5$, and so$3$ good*bye." 
110:100,07['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was again left to$4$ her solitude, and with no$2$ 
110:100,08['  ]| increase$0$ of pleasant feelings, for$3$ 
110:100,08@a   | she was sorry for$4$ almost 
110:100,09@a   | all that$6#1$ she had seen and heard, astonished at $MP#H$Miss*Bertram, 
110:100,10@a   | and angry with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. By$4$ taking 
110:100,11@a   | a circuitous, and as it appeared to$4$ her, very unreasonable 
110:100,12@a   | direction to$4$ the knoll, they were soon beyond$4$ her eye; 
110:100,13@a   | and for$4$ some minutes longer she remained without sight 
110:100,14@a   | or sound$0$ of any companion. She seemed to$9$ have the 
110:100,15@a   | little wood all to$4$ herself. She could almost have thought$1$, 
110:100,16@a   | that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford had left it, but that$3$ it 
110:100,17@a   | was impossible for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund to$9$ forget her so$5#1$ entirely. 
110:100,18['  ]| She was again roused from disagreeable musings by$4$ 
110:100,19['  ]| sudden$2$ footsteps, 
110:100,19@a   | somebody was coming at a quick$2$ pace$0$ 
110:100,20@a   | down$4$ the principal$2$ walk$0$. She expected $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
110:100,21@a   | but it was $MP#I$Julia, who$6#1$ hot and out$5$ of breath, and with 
110:100,22@a   | a look$0$ of disappointment, cried out$5$ on$4$ seeing her, 
110:100,22[I  ]| "Hey-day! 
110:100,23[I  ]| Where are the others? I thought$1$ $MP#H$Maria and 
110:100,24[I  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford were with you." 
110:100,25['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny explained. 
110:100,26[I  ]| "A pretty$2$ trick$0$, upon$4$ my word! I cannot see them 
110:100,27[I  ]| any*where," 
110:100,27['  ]| looking eagerly into the park. 
110:100,27[I  ]| "But they 
110:100,28[I  ]| cannot be very far off, and I think I am equal$2$ to$4$ as much 
110:100,29[I  ]| as $MP#H$Maria, even$5$ without help$0$." 
110:100,30[A  ]| "But, $MP#I$Julia, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth will$1$ be here in$4$ a moment 
110:100,31[A  ]| with the key. Do wait for$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth." 
110:100,32[I  ]| "Not I, indeed. I have had enough of the family for$4$ 
110:100,33[I  ]| one morning. Why, child, I have but this moment 
110:100,34[I  ]| escaped from his horrible mother. Such a penance as 
110:100,35[I  ]| I have been enduring, while$3$ you were sitting here so$5#1$ 
110:100,36[I  ]| composed and so$5#1$ happy! It might have been as well$5$, 
110:100,37[I  ]| perhaps, if you had been in$4$ my place$0$, but you always 
110:100,38[I  ]| contrive to$9$ keep out$5$ of these scrapes." 
110:101,01['  ]| This was a most unjust reflection, but $MP#A$Fanny could 
110:101,02['  ]| allow for$4$ it, and let it pass$1$; 
110:101,02@a   | $MP#I$Julia was vexed, and her 
110:101,03@a   | temper was hasty, but she felt that$3$ it would not last$1$, 
110:101,04['  ]| and therefore taking no$2$ notice$0$, only asked her 
110:101,04@a   | if she had 
110:101,05@a   | not seen $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth. 
110:101,06[I  ]| "Yes, yes, we saw him. He was posting away as if 
110:101,07[I  ]| upon$4$ life and death, and could but just$5$ spare$1$ time to$9$ tell 
110:101,08[I  ]| us his errand, and where you all were." 
110:101,09[A  ]| "It is a pity$0$ that$3$ he should have so$5#1$ much trouble$0$ for$4$ 
110:101,10[A  ]| nothing." 
110:101,11[I  ]| "\That$6#2$\ is $MP#H$Miss*Maria's concern$0$. I am not obliged to$9$ 
110:101,12[I  ]| punish myself for$4$ \her\ sins. The mother I could not 
110:101,13[I  ]| avoid, as long as my tiresome aunt was dancing about$5$ 
110:101,14[I  ]| with the housekeeper, but the son I \can\ get away from." 
110:101,15['  ]| And she immediately scrambled across$4$ the fence, and 
110:101,16['  ]| walked away, not attending to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's last$2$ question$0$ of 
110:101,17['  ]| whether she had seen any*thing of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford and 
110:101,18['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund. The sort of dread$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny now sat of 
110:101,19['  ]| seeing $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth prevented her thinking so$5#1$ much 
110:101,20['  ]| of their continued absence, however, as she might have 
110:101,21['  ]| done. She felt that$3$ he had been very ill-used, and was 
110:101,22['  ]| quite unhappy in$4$ having to$9$ communicate what had 
110:101,23['  ]| passed. He joined her within five minutes after$4$ $MP#I$Julia's 
110:101,24['  ]| exit; and though she made the best of the story, he was 
110:101,25['  ]| evidently mortified and displeased in$4$ no$2$ common$2$ degree. 
110:101,26['  ]| At first he scarcely said any*thing; his looks$0$ only expressed 
110:101,27['  ]| his extreme$2$ surprise$0$ and vexation, and he walked 
110:101,28['  ]| to$4$ the gate and stood there, without seeming to$9$ know 
110:101,29['  ]| what to$9$ do. 
110:101,30[A  ]| "They desired me to$9$ stay$1$ ~~ my cousin $MP#H$Maria charged 
110:101,31[A  ]| me to$9$ say that$3$ you would find them at that$6#2$ knoll, or 
110:101,32[A  ]| thereabouts." 
110:101,33[K  ]| "I do not believe I shall go any further," 
110:101,33['  ]| said he 
110:101,34['  ]| sullenly; 
110:101,34[K  ]| "I see nothing of them. By$4$ the time I get 
110:101,35[K  ]| to$4$ the knoll, they may$1$ be gone some*where else. I have 
110:101,36[K  ]| had walking enough." 
110:101,37['  ]| And he sat down$5$ with a most gloomy countenance by$4$ 
110:101,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. 
110:102,01[A  ]| "I am very sorry," 
110:102,01['  ]| said she; 
110:102,01[A  ]| "it is very unlucky." 
110:102,02['  ]| And she longed to$9$ be able to$9$ say something more to$4$ the 
110:102,03['  ]| purpose. 
110:102,04['  ]| After$4$ an interval of silence$0$, 
110:102,04[K  ]| "I think they might as 
110:102,05[K  ]| well$5$ have staid for$4$ me," 
110:102,05['  ]| said he. 
110:102,06[A  ]| "$MP#H$Miss*Bertram thought$1$ you would follow her." 
110:102,07[K  ]| "I should not have had to$9$ follow if she had staid." 
110:102,08['  ]| This could not be denied, and $MP#A$Fanny was silenced. 
110:102,09['  ]| After$4$ another pause$0$, he went on$5$. 
110:102,09[K  ]| "Pray, $MP#A$Miss*Price, 
110:102,10[K  ]| are you such a great admirer of this $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford as some 
110:102,11[K  ]| people are? For$4$ my part$0$, I can see nothing in$4$ him." 
110:102,12[A  ]| "I do not think him at all handsome." 
110:102,13[K  ]| "Handsome! Nobody can call$1$ such an under-sized 
110:102,14[K  ]| man handsome. He is not five foot nine. I should not 
110:102,15[K  ]| wonder$1$ if he was not more than five foot eight. I think 
110:102,16[K  ]| he is an ill-looking fellow. In$4$ my opinion, these $MP#D1$Crawfords 
110:102,17[K  ]| are no$2$ addition at all. We did very well$5$ without 
110:102,18[K  ]| them." 
110:102,19['  ]| A small sigh$0$ escaped $MP#A$Fanny here, and she did not 
110:102,20['  ]| know how to$9$ contradict him. 
110:102,21[K  ]| "If I had made any difficulty about$4$ fetching the key, 
110:102,22[K  ]| there might have been some excuse$0$, but I went the very 
110:102,23[K  ]| moment she said she wanted it." 
110:102,24[A  ]| "Nothing could be more obliging than your manner, 
110:102,25[A  ]| I am sure, and I dare$1#2$ say you walked as fast as you 
110:102,26[A  ]| could; but still$5$ it is some distance$0$, you know, from 
110:102,27[A  ]| this spot to$4$ the house, quite into the house; and when 
110:102,28[A  ]| people are waiting, they are bad judges of time, and 
110:102,29[A  ]| every half minute$0$ seems like$4$ five." 
110:102,30['  ]| He got up$5$ and walked to$4$ the gate again, and 
110:102,30[K  ]| "wished 
110:102,31[K  ]| he had had the key about$4$ him at the time." 
110:102,31['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny 
110:102,32['  ]| thought$1$ she discerned in$4$ his standing there, an indication 
110:102,33['  ]| of relenting, which$6#1$ encouraged her to$4$ another attempt$0$, 
110:102,34['  ]| and she said, therefore, 
110:102,34[A  ]| "It is a pity$0$ you should not join 
110:102,35[A  ]| them. They expected to$9$ have a better view$0$ of the house 
110:102,36[A  ]| from that$6#2$ part$0$ of the park, and will$1$ be thinking how it 
110:102,37[A  ]| may$1$ be improved; and nothing of that$6#2$ sort, you know, 
110:102,38[A  ]| can be settled without you." 
110:103,01['  ]| She found herself more successful in$4$ sending away, than 
110:103,02['  ]| in$4$ retaining a companion. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was worked 
110:103,03['  ]| on$5$. 
110:103,03[K  ]| "Well$7$," 
110:103,03['  ]| said he, 
110:103,03[K  ]| "if you really think I had better 
110:103,04[K  ]| go; it would be foolish to$9$ bring the key for$4$ nothing." 
110:103,05['  ]| And letting himself out$5$, he walked off without further 
110:103,06['  ]| ceremony. 
110:103,07['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's thoughts were now all engrossed by$4$ the two 
110:103,08['  ]| who$6#1$ had left her so$5#1$ long ago, and getting quite impatient, 
110:103,09['  ]| she resolved to$9$ go in$4$ search$0$ of them. She followed their 
110:103,10['  ]| steps along$4$ the bottom walk$0$, and had just$5$ turned up$5$ into 
110:103,11['  ]| another, when the voice and the laugh$0$ of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
110:103,12['  ]| once more caught her ear; the sound$0$ approached, and 
110:103,13['  ]| a few more windings brought them before$4$ her. 
110:103,13@y   | They 
110:103,14@y   | were just$5$ returned into the wilderness from the park, 
110:103,15@y   | to$4$ which$6#1$ a side$2$ gate, not fastened, had tempted them 
110:103,16@y   | very soon after$4$ their leaving her, and they had been 
110:103,17@y   | across$4$ a portion of the park into the very avenue which$6#1$ 
110:103,18@y   | $MP#A$Fanny had been hoping the whole$2$ morning to$9$ reach$1$ at 
110:103,19@y   | last$0$; and had been sitting down$5$ under one of the trees. 
110:103,20['  ]| This was their history. 
110:103,20@a   | It was evident that$3$ they had 
110:103,21@a   | been spending their time pleasantly, and were not aware 
110:103,22@a   | of the length of their absence. $MP#A$Fanny's best consolation 
110:103,23@a   | was in$4$ being$1$ assured that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund had wished for$4$ her 
110:103,24@a   | very much, and that$3$ he should certainly have come back$5$ 
110:103,25@a   | for$4$ her, had she not been tired already; but this was 
110:103,26@a   | not quite sufficient to$9$ do away the pain$0$ of having been 
110:103,27@a   | left a whole$2$ hour, when he had talked of only a few 
110:103,28@a   | minutes, nor to$9$ banish the sort of curiosity she felt, to$9$ 
110:103,29@a   | know what they had been conversing about$4$ all that$6#2$ time; 
110:103,30@a   | and the result$0$ of the whole$0$ was to$4$ her disappointment 
110:103,31@a   | and depression, as they prepared, by$4$ general$2$ agreement, 
110:103,32@a   | to$9$ return$1$ to$4$ the house. 
110:103,33['  ]| On$4$ reaching the bottom of the steps to$4$ the terrace, 
110:103,34['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris presented themselves 
110:103,35['  ]| at the top, just$5$ ready for$4$ the wilderness, at the end$0$ of an 
110:103,36['  ]| hour and half from their leaving the house. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
110:103,37['  ]| had been too$5#1$ well$5$ employed to$9$ move$1$ faster. Whatever 
110:103,38['  ]| cross$2$ accidents had occurred to$9$ intercept the pleasures 
110:104,01['  ]| of her nieces, she had found a morning of complete$2$ enjoyment ~~ 
110:104,02['  ]| for$3$ the housekeeper, after$4$ a great many courtesies 
110:104,03['  ]| on$4$ the subject$0$ of pheasants, had taken her to$4$ the dairy, 
110:104,04['  ]| told her all about$4$ their cows, and given her the receipt 
110:104,05['  ]| for$4$ a famous cream cheese; and since $MP#I$Julia's leaving 
110:104,06['  ]| them, they had been met by$4$ the gardener, with whom$6#1$ 
110:104,07['  ]| she had made a most satisfactory acquaintance, for$3$ she 
110:104,08['  ]| had set$1$ him right$2#1$ as to$4$ his grandson's illness, convinced 
110:104,09['  ]| him it was an ague, and promised him a charm$0$ for$4$ it; 
110:104,10['  ]| and he, in$4$ return$0$, had shewn her all his choicest nursery 
110:104,11['  ]| of plants, and actually presented her with a very curious 
110:104,12['  ]| specimen of heath. 
110:104,13['  ]| On$4$ this rencontre they all returned to$4$ the house 
110:104,14['  ]| together, there to$9$ lounge away the time as they could 
110:104,15['  ]| with sofas, and chit-chat, and Quarterly*Reviews, till the 
110:104,16['  ]| return$0$ of the others, and the arrival of dinner. It was 
110:104,17['  ]| late before$3$ the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams and the two gentlemen 
110:104,18['  ]| came in$5$, and their ramble did not appear to$9$ have been 
110:104,19['  ]| more than partially agreeable, or at all productive of any*thing 
110:104,20['  ]| useful with regard$0$ to$4$ the object$0$ of the day. By$4$ 
110:104,21['  ]| their own$2$ accounts they had been all walking after$4$ each 
110:104,22['  ]| other, 
110:104,22@a   | and the junction which$6#1$ had taken place$0$ at last$0$ 
110:104,23@a   | seemed, to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's observation, to$9$ have been as much 
110:104,24@a   | too$5#1$ late for$4$ re-establishing harmony, as it confessedly had 
110:104,25@a   | been for$4$ determining on$4$ any alteration. She felt, as she 
110:104,26@a   | looked at $MP#I$Julia and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, that$3$ her's was not 
110:104,27@a   | the only dissatisfied bosom amongst them; there was 
110:104,28@a   | gloom on$4$ the face$0$ of each. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford and $MP#H$Miss*Bertram 
110:104,29@a   | were much more gay, and she thought$1$ that$3$ he 
110:104,30@a   | was taking particular pains, during dinner, to$9$ do away 
110:104,31@a   | any little resentment of the other two, and restore general$2$ 
110:104,32@a   | good*humour. 
110:104,33['  ]| Dinner was soon followed by$4$ tea and coffee, a ten 
110:104,34['  ]| miles' drive$0$ home allowed no$2$ waste$0$ of hours, and from 
110:104,35['  ]| the time of their sitting down$5$ to$4$ table, it was a quick$2$ 
110:104,36['  ]| succession of busy nothings till the carriage came to$4$ the 
110:104,37['  ]| door, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, having fidgetted about$5$, and 
110:104,38['  ]| obtained a few pheasant's eggs and a cream cheese from 
110:105,01['  ]| the housekeeper, and made abundance of civil speeches 
110:105,02['  ]| to$4$ $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, was ready to$9$ lead$1$ the way. At the 
110:105,03['  ]| same moment $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford approaching $MP#I$Julia, said, 
110:105,04[D  ]| "I hope$1$ I am not to$9$ lose my companion, unless she is 
110:105,05[D  ]| afraid of the evening air in$4$ so$5#1$ exposed a seat." 
110:105,05['  ]| The 
110:105,06['  ]| request$0$ had not been foreseen, but was very graciously 
110:105,07['  ]| received, and $MP#I$Julia's day was likely to$9$ end$1$ almost as well$5$ 
110:105,08['  ]| as it began. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram had made up$5$ her mind$0$ to$4$ 
110:105,09['  ]| something different, and was a little disappointed ~~ but 
110:105,10['  ]| her conviction of being$1$ really the one preferred, comforted 
110:105,11['  ]| her under it, and enabled her to$9$ receive $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
110:105,12['  ]| parting attentions as she ought. He was certainly 
110:105,13['  ]| better pleased to$9$ hand$1$ her into the barouche than to$9$ 
110:105,14['  ]| assist her in$4$ ascending the box ~~ and his complacency 
110:105,15['  ]| seemed confirmed by$4$ the arrangement. 
110:105,16[J  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#A$Fanny, this has been a fine day for$4$ you, upon$4$ 
110:105,17[J  ]| my word!" 
110:105,17['  ]| said $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, as they drove through$4$ the 
110:105,18['  ]| park. 
110:105,18[J  ]| "Nothing but pleasure from beginning to$4$ end$0$! 
110:105,19[J  ]| I am sure you ought to$9$ be very much obliged to$4$ your 
110:105,20[J  ]| aunt $MP#F$Bertram and me, for$4$ contriving to$9$ let you go. 
110:105,21[J  ]| A pretty$5$ good day's amusement you have had!" 
110:105,22['  ]| $MP#H$Maria was just$5$ discontented enough to$9$ say directly, 
110:105,23[H  ]| "I think \you\ have done pretty$5$ well$5$ yourself, ma'am. 
110:105,24[H  ]| Your lap seems full of good things, and here is a basket 
110:105,25[H  ]| of something between us, which$6#1$ has been knocking my 
110:105,26[H  ]| elbow unmercifully." 
110:105,27[J  ]| "My dear$2#1$, it is only a beautiful little heath, which$6#1$ that$6#2$ 
110:105,28[J  ]| nice old gardener would make$1$ me take; but if it is in$4$ your 
110:105,29[J  ]| way, I will$1$ have it in$4$ my lap directly. There $MP#A$Fanny, you 
110:105,30[J  ]| shall carry that$6#2$ parcel for$4$ me ~~ take great care$0$ of it ~~ do 
110:105,31[J  ]| not let it fall$1$; it is a cream cheese, just$5$ like$4$ the excellent 
110:105,32[J  ]| one we had at dinner. Nothing would satisfy that$6#2$ good 
110:105,33[J  ]| old $MP#V$Mrs%*Whitaker, but my taking one of the cheeses. 
110:105,34[J  ]| I stood out$5$ as long as I could, till the tears almost came 
110:105,35[J  ]| into her eyes, and I knew it was just$5$ the sort that$6#1$ my 
110:105,36[J  ]| sister would be delighted with. That$6#2$ $MP#V$Mrs%*Whitaker is 
110:105,37[J  ]| a treasure! She was quite shocked when I asked her 
110:105,38[J  ]| whether wine was allowed at the second$2$ table, and she has 
110:106,01[J  ]| turned away two housemaids for$4$ wearing white gowns. 
110:106,02[J  ]| Take care$0$ of the cheese, $MP#A$Fanny. Now I can manage the 
110:106,03[J  ]| other parcel and the basket very well$5$." 
110:106,04[H  ]| "What else have you been spunging?" 
110:106,04['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria, 
110:106,05['  ]| half pleased that$3$ Sotherton should be so$5#1$ complimented. 
110:106,06[J  ]| "Spunging, my dear$2#1$! It is nothing but four of those 
110:106,07[J  ]| beautiful pheasant's eggs, which$6#1$ $MP#V$Mrs%*Whitaker would 
110:106,08[J  ]| quite force$1$ upon$4$ me; she would not take a denial. She 
110:106,09[J  ]| said it must be such an amusement to$4$ me, as she understood 
110:106,10[J  ]| I lived quite alone, to$9$ have a few living creatures 
110:106,11[J  ]| of that$6#2$ sort; and so$5#2$ to$9$ be sure it will$1$. I shall get the 
110:106,12[J  ]| dairy maid to$9$ set$1$ them under the first spare$2$ hen, and if 
110:106,13[J  ]| they come to$4$ good I can have them moved to$4$ my own$2$ 
110:106,14[J  ]| house and borrow a coop; and it will$1$ be a great delight$0$ 
110:106,15[J  ]| to$4$ me in$4$ my lonely hours to$9$ attend to$4$ them. And if I have 
110:106,16[J  ]| good luck, your mother shall have some." 
110:106,17['  ]| It was a beautiful evening, mild and still$2$, and the drive$0$ 
110:106,18['  ]| was as pleasant as the serenity of nature could make$1$ it; 
110:106,19['  ]| but when $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris ceased speaking it was altogether 
110:106,20['  ]| a silent drive$0$ to$4$ those within. Their spirits were in$4$ 
110:106,21['  ]| general$0$ exhausted ~~ and to$9$ determine whether the day 
110:106,22['  ]| had afforded most pleasure or pain$0$, might occupy the 
110:106,23['  ]| meditations of almost all. 
111:107,01['  ]| The day at Sotherton, with all its imperfections, 
111:107,02['  ]| afforded the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams much more agreeable feelings 
111:107,03['  ]| than were derived from the letters from Antigua, 
111:107,04['  ]| which$6#1$ soon afterwards reached Mansfield. It was much 
111:107,05['  ]| pleasanter to$9$ think of $MP#D$Henry*Crawford than of their 
111:107,06['  ]| father; and to$9$ think of their father in$4$ England again 
111:107,07['  ]| within a certain period, which$6#1$ these letters obliged them 
111:107,08['  ]| to$9$ do, was a most unwelcome exercise$0$. 
111:107,09['  ]| November was the black month fixed for$4$ his return$0$. 
111:107,10['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas wrote of it with as much decision as experience$0$ 
111:107,11['  ]| and anxiety could authorize. 
111:107,11@e   | His business was so$5#1$ nearly 
111:107,12@e   | concluded as to$9$ justify him in$4$ proposing to$9$ take his 
111:107,13@e   | passage in$4$ the September packet, and he consequently 
111:107,14@e   | looked forward$5$ with the hope$0$ of being$1$ with his beloved 
111:107,15@e   | family again early in$4$ November. 
111:107,16['  ]| $MP#H$Maria was more to$9$ be pitied than $MP#I$Julia, for$3$ to$4$ her the 
111:107,17['  ]| father brought a husband, and the return$0$ of the friend 
111:107,18['  ]| most solicitous for$4$ her happiness, would unite her to$4$ the 
111:107,19['  ]| lover, on$4$ whom$6#1$ she had chosen that$6#2$ happiness should 
111:107,20['  ]| depend. 
111:107,20@h   | It was a gloomy prospect, and all that$6#1$ she could 
111:107,21@h   | do was to$9$ throw$1$ a mist over it, and hope$1$ when the mist 
111:107,22@h   | cleared away, she should see something else. It would 
111:107,23@h   | hardly be \early\ in$4$ November, there were generally delays, 
111:107,24@h   | a bad passage or \something\; 
111:107,24['  ]| that$6#2$ favouring \something\ 
111:107,25['  ]| which$6#1$ every*body who$6#1$ shuts their eyes while$3$ they look$1$, or 
111:107,26['  ]| their understandings while$3$ they reason$1$, feels the comfort$0$ 
111:107,27['  ]| of. 
111:107,27@h   | It would probably be the middle of November at 
111:107,28@h   | least; the middle of November was three months off. 
111:107,29@h   | Three months comprised thirteen weeks. Much might 
111:107,30@h   | happen in$4$ thirteen weeks. 
111:107,31['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas would have been deeply mortified by$4$ 
111:107,32['  ]| a suspicion of half that$6#1$ his daughters felt on$4$ the subject$0$ 
111:108,01['  ]| of his return$0$, and would hardly have found consolation in$4$ 
111:108,02['  ]| a knowledge of the interest$0$ it excited in$4$ the breast of 
111:108,03['  ]| another young lady. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, on$4$ walking up$5$ with 
111:108,04['  ]| her brother to$9$ spend the evening at Mansfield*Park, heard 
111:108,05['  ]| the good news; and though seeming to$9$ have no$2$ concern$0$ in$4$ 
111:108,06['  ]| the affair beyond$4$ politeness, and to$9$ have vented all her 
111:108,07['  ]| feelings in$4$ a quiet$2$ congratulation, heard it with an 
111:108,08['  ]| attention not so$5#1$ easily satisfied. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris gave the 
111:108,09['  ]| particulars of the letters, and the subject$0$ was dropt; but 
111:108,10['  ]| after$4$ tea, as $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was standing at an open$2$ 
111:108,11['  ]| window with $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#A$Fanny looking out$5$ on$4$ a 
111:108,12['  ]| twilight scene, while$3$ the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams, $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
111:108,13['  ]| and $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, were all busy with candles at the 
111:108,14['  ]| pianoforte, she suddenly revived it by$4$ turning round$5$ 
111:108,15['  ]| towards the group, and saying, 
111:108,15[C  ]| "How happy $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
111:108,16[C  ]| looks$1$! He is thinking of November." 
111:108,17['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund looked round$5$ at $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth too$5#2$, but had 
111:108,18['  ]| nothing to$9$ say. 
111:108,19[C  ]| "Your father's return$0$ will$1$ be a very interesting event." 
111:108,20[B  ]| "It will$1$, indeed, after$4$ such an absence; an absence not 
111:108,21[B  ]| only long, but including so$5#1$ many dangers." 
111:108,22[C  ]| "It will$1$ be the fore-runner also of other interesting 
111:108,23[C  ]| events; your sister's marriage, and your taking orders$0#2$." 
111:108,24[B  ]| "Yes." 
111:108,25[C  ]| "Don't be affronted," 
111:108,25['  ]| said she laughing; 
111:108,25[C  ]| "but it does 
111:108,26[C  ]| put me in$4$ mind$0$ of some of the old heathen heroes, who$6#1$ 
111:108,27[C  ]| after$4$ performing great exploits in$4$ a foreign land, offered 
111:108,28[C  ]| sacrifices to$4$ the gods on$4$ their safe return$0$." 
111:108,29[B  ]| "There is no$2$ sacrifice$0$ in$4$ the case," 
111:108,29['  ]| replied $MP#B$Edmund 
111:108,30['  ]| with a serious$2$ smile$0$, and glancing at the piano-forte again, 
111:108,31[B  ]| "It is entirely her own$2$ doing." 
111:108,32[C  ]| "Oh! yes, I know it is. I was merely joking. She has 
111:108,33[C  ]| done no$2$ more than what every young woman would do; 
111:108,34[C  ]| and I have no$2$ doubt$0$ of her being$1$ extremely happy. My 
111:108,35[C  ]| other sacrifice$0$ of course$8$ you do not understand." 
111:108,36[B  ]| "My taking orders$0#2$ I assure you is quite as voluntary as 
111:108,37[B  ]| $MP#H$Maria's marrying." 
111:108,38[C  ]| "It is fortunate that$3$ your inclination and your father's 
111:109,01[C  ]| convenience should accord so$5#1$ well$5$. There is a very good 
111:109,02[C  ]| living kept for$4$ you, I understand, hereabouts." 
111:109,03[B  ]| "Which$6#1$ you suppose has biassed me." 
111:109,04[A  ]| "But \that$6#2$\ I am sure it has not," 
111:109,04['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny. 
111:109,05[B  ]| "Thank you for$4$ your good word, $MP#A$Fanny, but it is more 
111:109,06[B  ]| than I would affirm myself. On$4$ the contrary, the knowing 
111:109,07[B  ]| that$3$ there was such a provision for$4$ me, probably did bias$1$ 
111:109,08[B  ]| me. Nor can I think it wrong that$3$ it should. There was 
111:109,09[B  ]| no$2$ natural$2$ disinclination to$9$ be overcome, and I see no$2$ 
111:109,10[B  ]| reason$0$ why a man should make$1$ a worse clergyman for$4$ 
111:109,11[B  ]| knowing that$3$ he will$1$ have a competence early in$4$ life. 
111:109,12[B  ]| I was in$4$ safe hands. I hope$1$ I should not have been 
111:109,13[B  ]| influenced myself in$4$ a wrong way, and I am sure my 
111:109,14[B  ]| father was too$5#1$ conscientious to$9$ have allowed it. I have no$2$ 
111:109,15[B  ]| doubt$0$ that$3$ I was biassed, but I think it was blamelessly." 
111:109,16[A  ]| "It is the same sort of thing," 
111:109,16['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, after$4$ a short 
111:109,17['  ]| pause$0$, 
111:109,17[A  ]| "as for$4$ the son of an admiral to$9$ go into the navy, 
111:109,18[A  ]| or the son of a general$0$ to$9$ be in$4$ the army, and nobody sees 
111:109,19[A  ]| any*thing wrong in$4$ that$6#2$. Nobody wonders$1$ that$3$ they 
111:109,20[A  ]| should prefer the line where their friends can serve them 
111:109,21[A  ]| best, or suspects them to$9$ be less in$4$ earnest in$4$ it than they 
111:109,22[A  ]| appear." 
111:109,23[C  ]| "No$7$, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Miss*Price, and for$4$ reasons good. The 
111:109,24[C  ]| profession$0#2$, either navy or army, is its own$2$ justification. It 
111:109,25[C  ]| has every*thing in$4$ its favour$0$; heroism, danger, bustle$0$, 
111:109,26[C  ]| fashion$0$. Soldiers and sailors are always acceptable in$4$ 
111:109,27[C  ]| society. Nobody can wonder$1$ that$3$ men are soldiers and 
111:109,28[C  ]| sailors." 
111:109,29[B  ]| "But the motives of a man who$6#1$ takes orders$0#2$ with the 
111:109,30[B  ]| certainty of preferment, may$1$ be fairly suspected, you 
111:109,31[B  ]| think?" 
111:109,31['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund. 
111:109,31[B  ]| "To$9$ be justified in$4$ your eyes, he 
111:109,32[B  ]| must do it in$4$ the most complete$2$ uncertainty of any 
111:109,33[B  ]| provision." 
111:109,34[C  ]| "What! take orders$0#2$ without a living! No$7$, that$6#2$ is 
111:109,35[C  ]| madness indeed, absolute madness!" 
111:109,36[B  ]| "Shall I ask you how the church is to$9$ be filled, if a man 
111:109,37[B  ]| is neither to$9$ take orders$0#2$ with a living, nor without? No$7$, 
111:109,38[B  ]| for$3$ you certainly would not know what to$9$ say. But 
111:110,01[B  ]| I must beg some advantage to$4$ the clergyman from your 
111:110,02[B  ]| own$2$ argument. As he cannot be influenced by$4$ those 
111:110,03[B  ]| feelings which$6#1$ you rank$1$ highly as temptation and reward$0$ 
111:110,04[B  ]| to$4$ the soldier and sailor in$4$ their choice$0$ of a profession$0#2$, as 
111:110,05[B  ]| heroism, and noise, and fashion$0$ are all against him, he 
111:110,06[B  ]| ought to$9$ be less liable to$4$ the suspicion of wanting sincerity 
111:110,07[B  ]| or good intentions in$4$ the choice$0$ of his." 
111:110,08[C  ]| "Oh! no$2$ doubt$0$ he is very sincere in$4$ preferring an 
111:110,09[C  ]| income ready made, to$4$ the trouble$0$ of working for$4$ one; and 
111:110,10[C  ]| has the best intentions of doing nothing all the rest$0#1$ of his 
111:110,11[C  ]| days but eat, drink, and grow fat. It is indolence $MP#B$Mr%*Bertram, 
111:110,12[C  ]| indeed. Indolence and love$0$ of ease$0$ ~~ a want$0$ of 
111:110,13[C  ]| all laudable ambition, of taste for$4$ good company, or of 
111:110,14[C  ]| inclination to$9$ take the trouble$0$ of being$1$ agreeable, which$6#1$ 
111:110,15[C  ]| make$1$ men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to$9$ do 
111:110,16[C  ]| but to$9$ be slovenly and selfish ~~ read the newspaper, watch$1$ 
111:110,17[C  ]| the weather, and quarrel$1$ with his wife. His curate does all 
111:110,18[C  ]| the work$0$, and the business of his own$2$ life is to$9$ dine." 
111:110,19[B  ]| "There are such clergymen, no$2$ doubt$0$, but I think they 
111:110,20[B  ]| are not so$5#1$ common$2$ as to$9$ justify $MP#C$Miss*Crawford in$4$ esteeming 
111:110,21[B  ]| it their general$2$ character. I suspect that$3$ in$4$ this comprehensive 
111:110,22[B  ]| and (may$1$ I say) common-place censure$0$, you 
111:110,23[B  ]| are not judging from yourself, but from prejudiced 
111:110,24[B  ]| persons, whose$6#1$ opinions you have been in$4$ the habit of 
111:110,25[B  ]| hearing. It is impossible that$3$ your own$2$ observation can 
111:110,26[B  ]| have given you much knowledge of the clergy. You can 
111:110,27[B  ]| have been personally acquainted with very few of a set$0$ 
111:110,28[B  ]| of men you condemn so$5#1$ conclusively. You are speaking 
111:110,29[B  ]| what you have been told at your uncle's table." 
111:110,30[C  ]| "I speak what appears to$4$ me the general$2$ opinion; 
111:110,31[C  ]| and where an opinion is general$2$, it is usually correct$2$. 
111:110,32[C  ]| Though \I\ have not seen much of the domestic$2$ lives$0$ of 
111:110,33[C  ]| clergymen, it is seen by$4$ too$5#1$ many to$9$ leave$1$ any deficiency 
111:110,34[C  ]| of information." 
111:110,35[B  ]| "Where any one body of educated men, of whatever 
111:110,36[B  ]| denomination, are condemned indiscriminately, there must 
111:110,37[B  ]| be a deficiency of information, or 
111:110,37['  ]| (smiling) 
111:110,37[B  ]| of something 
111:110,38[B  ]| else. Your uncle, and his brother admirals, perhaps, 
111:111,01[B  ]| knew little of clergymen beyond$4$ the chaplains whom$6#1$, 
111:111,02[B  ]| good or bad, they were always wishing away." 
111:111,03[A  ]| "Poor $MP#Q$William! He has met with great kindness from 
111:111,04[A  ]| the chaplain of the Antwerp," 
111:111,04['  ]| was a tender$2$ apostrophe of 
111:111,05['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's, very much to$4$ the purpose of her own$2$ feelings, if 
111:111,06['  ]| not of the conversation. 
111:111,07[C  ]| "I have been so$5#1$ little addicted to$9$ take my opinions from 
111:111,08[C  ]| my uncle," 
111:111,08['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
111:111,08[C  ]| "that$3$ I can hardly 
111:111,09[C  ]| suppose; ~~ and since you push$1$ me so$5#1$ hard, I must observe, 
111:111,10[C  ]| that$3$ I am not entirely without the means$0$ of seeing what 
111:111,11[C  ]| clergymen are, being$1$ at this present$2$ time the guest of my 
111:111,12[C  ]| own$2$ brother, $MP#M$Dr%*Grant. And though $MP#M$Dr%*Grant is most 
111:111,13[C  ]| kind$2$ and obliging to$4$ me, and though he is really a gentleman, 
111:111,14[C  ]| and I dare$1#2$ say a good scholar and clever, and often 
111:111,15[C  ]| preaches good sermons, and is very respectable, \I\ see him 
111:111,16[C  ]| to$9$ be an indolent selfish bon*vivant, who$6#1$ must have his 
111:111,17[C  ]| palate consulted in$4$ every*thing, who$6#1$ will$1$ not stir a finger 
111:111,18[C  ]| for$4$ the convenience of any*one, and who$6#1$, moreover, if the 
111:111,19[C  ]| cook makes a blunder$0$, is out$5$ of humour with his excellent 
111:111,20[C  ]| wife. To$9$ own$1$ the truth, $MP#D$Henry and I were partly driven 
111:111,21[C  ]| out$5$ this very evening, by$4$ a disappointment about$4$ a green 
111:111,22[C  ]| goose, which$6#1$ he could not get the better of. My poor sister 
111:111,23[C  ]| was forced to$9$ stay$1$ and bear$1$ it." 
111:111,24[B  ]| "I do not wonder$1$ at your disapprobation, upon$4$ my 
111:111,25[B  ]| word. It is a great defect of temper, made worse by$4$ a 
111:111,26[B  ]| very faulty habit of self-indulgence; and to$9$ see your sister 
111:111,27[B  ]| suffering from it, must be exceedingly painful to$9$ such 
111:111,28[B  ]| feelings as your's. $MP#A$Fanny, it goes against us. We cannot 
111:111,29[B  ]| attempt$1$ to$9$ defend $MP#M$Dr%*Grant." 
111:111,30[A  ]| "No$7$," 
111:111,30['  ]| replied $MP#A$Fanny, 
111:111,30[A  ]| "but we need$1$ not give up$5$ his 
111:111,31[A  ]| profession$0#2$ for$4$ all that$6#2$; because, whatever profession$0#2$ 
111:111,32[A  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant had chosen, he would have taken a ~~ not 
111:111,33[A  ]| a good temper into it; and as he must either in$4$ the navy 
111:111,34[A  ]| or army have had a great many more people under his 
111:111,35[A  ]| command$0$ than he has now, I think more would have been 
111:111,36[A  ]| made unhappy by$4$ him as a sailor or soldier than as 
111:111,37[A  ]| a clergyman. Besides, I cannot but suppose that$3$ whatever 
111:111,38[A  ]| there may$1$ be to$9$ wish$1$ otherwise in$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
111:112,01[A  ]| would have been in$4$ a greater danger of becoming worse 
111:112,02[A  ]| in$4$ a more active and worldly profession$0#2$, where he would 
111:112,03[A  ]| have had less time and obligation ~~ where he might have 
111:112,04[A  ]| escaped that$6#2$ knowledge of himself, the \frequency\, at least, 
111:112,05[A  ]| of that$6#2$ knowledge which$6#1$ it is impossible he should escape$1$ 
111:112,06[A  ]| as he is now. A man ~~ a sensible$2#2$ man like$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
111:112,07[A  ]| cannot be in$4$ the habit of teaching others their duty every 
111:112,08[A  ]| week, cannot go to$4$ church twice every Sunday and preach 
111:112,09[A  ]| such very good sermons in$4$ so$5#1$ good a manner as he does, 
111:112,10[A  ]| without being$1$ the better for$4$ it himself. It must make$1$ him 
111:112,11[A  ]| think, and I have no$2$ doubt$0$ that$3$ he oftener endeavours$1$ to$9$ 
111:112,12[A  ]| restrain himself than he would if he had been any*thing but 
111:112,13[A  ]| a clergyman." 
111:112,14[C  ]| "We cannot prove the contrary, to$9$ be sure ~~ but I wish$1$ 
111:112,15[C  ]| you a better fate $MP#A$Miss*Price, than to$9$ be the wife of a man 
111:112,16[C  ]| whose$6#1$ amiableness depends upon$4$ his own$2$ sermons; for$3$ 
111:112,17[C  ]| though he may$1$ preach himself into a good*humour every 
111:112,18[C  ]| Sunday, it will$1$ be bad enough to$9$ have him quarrelling 
111:112,19[C  ]| about$4$ green geese from Monday morning till Saturday 
111:112,20[C  ]| night." 
111:112,21[B  ]| "I think the man who$6#1$ could often quarrel$1$ with $MP#A$Fanny," 
111:112,22['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, affectionately, 
111:112,22[B  ]| "must be beyond$4$ the reach$0$ 
111:112,23[B  ]| of any sermons." 
111:112,24['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny turned farther into the window; and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
111:112,25['  ]| had only time to$9$ say in$4$ a pleasant manner, 
111:112,25[C  ]| "I fancy$1$ 
111:112,26[C  ]| $MP#A$Miss*Price has been more used to$9$ deserve praise$0$ than to$9$ 
111:112,27[C  ]| hear it;" 
111:112,27['  ]| when being$1$ earnestly invited by$4$ the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams 
111:112,28['  ]| to$9$ join in$5$ a glee, she tripped off to$4$ the instrument, 
111:112,29['  ]| leaving $MP#B$Edmund looking after$4$ her in$4$ an ecstacy 
111:112,30['  ]| of admiration of all her many virtues, from her obliging 
111:112,31['  ]| manners down$5$ to$4$ her light$2$ and graceful tread. 
111:112,32[B  ]| "There goes good*humour I am sure," 
111:112,32['  ]| said he presently. 
111:112,33[B  ]| "There goes a temper which$6#1$ would never give pain$0$! 
111:112,34[B  ]| How well$5$ she walks$1$! and how readily she falls in$5$ with 
111:112,35[B  ]| the inclination of others! joining them the moment she 
111:112,36[B  ]| is asked. What a pity$0$," 
111:112,36['  ]| he added, after$4$ an instant's 
111:112,37['  ]| reflection, 
111:112,37[B  ]| "that$3$ she should have been in$4$ such hands!" 
111:112,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny agreed to$4$ it, 
111:112,38@a   | and had the pleasure of seeing him 
111:113,01@a   | continue at the window with her, in$4$ spite$8$ of the expected 
111:113,02@a   | glee; and of having his eyes soon turned like$4$ her's towards 
111:113,03@a   | the scene without, where all that$6#1$ was solemn and soothing, 
111:113,04@a   | and lovely, appeared in$4$ the brilliancy of an unclouded 
111:113,05@a   | night, and the contrast of the deep shade of the woods. 
111:113,06['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny spoke her feelings. 
111:113,06[A  ]| "Here's harmony!" 
111:113,06['  ]| said she, 
111:113,07[A  ]| "Here's repose! Here's what may$1$ leave$1$ all painting and 
111:113,08[A  ]| all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt$1$ to$9$ 
111:113,09[A  ]| describe. Here's what may$1$ tranquillize every care$0$, and 
111:113,10[A  ]| lift the heart to$4$ rapture! When I look$1$ out$5$ on$4$ such a night 
111:113,11[A  ]| as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor 
111:113,12[A  ]| sorrow in$4$ the world; and there certainly would be less of 
111:113,13[A  ]| both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to$5$, and 
111:113,14[A  ]| people were carried more out$5$ of themselves by$4$ contemplating 
111:113,15[A  ]| such a scene." 
111:113,16[B  ]| "I like$1$ to$9$ hear your enthusiasm, $MP#A$Fanny. It is a lovely 
111:113,17[B  ]| night, and they are much to$9$ be pitied who$6#1$ have not been 
111:113,18[B  ]| taught to$9$ feel in$4$ some degree as you do ~~ who$6#1$ have not at 
111:113,19[B  ]| least been given a taste for$4$ nature in$4$ early life. They lose 
111:113,20[B  ]| a great deal$0$." 
111:113,21[A  ]| "\You\ taught me to$9$ think and feel on$4$ the subject$0$, 
111:113,22[A  ]| cousin." 
111:113,23[B  ]| "I had a very apt scholar. There's Arcturus looking 
111:113,24[B  ]| very bright." 
111:113,25[A  ]| "Yes, and the bear$0$. I wish$1$ I could see Cassiopeia." 
111:113,26[B  ]| "We must go out$5$ on$4$ the lawn for$4$ that$6#2$. Should you be 
111:113,27[B  ]| afraid?" 
111:113,28[A  ]| "Not in$4$ the least. It is a great while$0$ since we have had 
111:113,29[A  ]| any star-gazing." 
111:113,30[B  ]| "Yes, I do not know how it has happened." 
111:113,30['  ]| The glee 
111:113,31['  ]| began. 
111:113,31[B  ]| "We will$1$ stay$1$ till this is finished, $MP#A$Fanny," 
111:113,31['  ]| said he, 
111:113,32['  ]| turning his back$0$ on$4$ the window; 
111:113,32@a   | and as it advanced, she 
111:113,33@a   | had the mortification of seeing him advance$1$ too$5#2$, moving 
111:113,34@a   | forward$5$ by$4$ gentle degrees towards the instrument, and 
111:113,35@a   | when it ceased, he was close$5$ by$4$ the singers, among the 
111:113,36@a   | most urgent in$4$ requesting to$9$ hear the glee again. 
111:113,37['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny sighed alone at the window till scolded away by$4$ 
111:113,38['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's threats of catching cold$0$. 
112:114,01['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was to$9$ return$1$ in$4$ November, and his eldest 
112:114,02['  ]| son had duties to$9$ call$1$ him earlier home. The approach$0$ of 
112:114,03['  ]| September brought tidings of $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram first in$4$ a letter 
112:114,04['  ]| to$4$ the gamekeeper, and then in$4$ a letter to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund; 
112:114,05['  ]| and by$4$ the end$0$ of August, he arrived himself, to$9$ be gay, 
112:114,06['  ]| agreeable, and gallant again as occasion$0$ served, or $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
112:114,07['  ]| demanded, to$9$ tell of races and Weymouth, and 
112:114,08['  ]| parties and friends, to$4$ which$6#1$ she might have listened six 
112:114,09['  ]| weeks before$5$ with some interest$0$, and altogether to$9$ give 
112:114,10['  ]| her the fullest conviction, by$4$ the power of actual comparison, 
112:114,11['  ]| of her preferring his younger brother. 
112:114,12@c   | It was very vexatious, and she was heartily sorry for$4$ it; 
112:114,13@c   | but so$5#2$ it was; 
112:114,13['  ]| and so$5#1$ far from now meaning to$9$ marry the 
112:114,14['  ]| elder, she did not even$5$ want$1$ to$9$ attract him beyond$4$ what 
112:114,15['  ]| the simplest claims of conscious beauty required; 
112:114,15@c   | his 
112:114,16@c   | lengthened absence from Mansfield, without any*thing but 
112:114,17@c   | pleasure in$4$ view$0$, and his own$2$ will$0$ to$9$ consult, made it 
112:114,18@c   | perfectly clear$2$ that$3$ he did not care$1$ about$4$ her; and his 
112:114,19@c   | indifference was so$5#1$ much more than equalled by$4$ her own$2$, 
112:114,20@c   | that$3$ were he now to$9$ step$1$ forth the owner of Mansfield*park, 
112:114,21@c   | the $MP#G$Sir*Thomas complete$2$, which$6#1$ he was to$9$ be in$4$ time, she 
112:114,22@c   | did not believe she could accept him. 
112:114,23['  ]| The season and duties which$6#1$ brought $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram back$5$ 
112:114,24['  ]| to$4$ Mansfield, took $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford into Norfolk. Everingham 
112:114,25['  ]| could not do without him in$4$ the beginning of September. 
112:114,26['  ]| He went for$4$ a fortnight; a fortnight of such dulness to$4$ the 
112:114,27['  ]| $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams, as ought to$9$ have put them both on$4$ their 
112:114,28['  ]| guard$0$, and made even$5$ $MP#I$Julia admit in$4$ her jealousy of 
112:114,29['  ]| her sister, the absolute necessity of distrusting his attentions, 
112:114,30['  ]| and wishing him not to$9$ return$1$; and a fortnight of 
112:114,31['  ]| sufficient leisure in$4$ the intervals of shooting and sleeping, 
112:114,32['  ]| to$9$ have convinced the gentleman that$3$ he ought to$9$ keep 
112:114,33['  ]| longer away, had he been more in$4$ the habit of examining 
112:114,34['  ]| his own$2$ motives, and of reflecting to$4$ what the indulgence 
112:115,01['  ]| of his idle vanity was tending; but, thoughtless and 
112:115,02['  ]| selfish from prosperity and bad example, he would not 
112:115,03['  ]| look$1$ beyond$4$ the present$2$ moment. The sisters, handsome, 
112:115,04['  ]| clever, and encouraging, were an amusement to$4$ his sated 
112:115,05['  ]| mind$0$; and finding nothing in$4$ Norfolk to$9$ equal$1$ the social 
112:115,06['  ]| pleasures of Mansfield, he gladly returned to$4$ it at the time 
112:115,07['  ]| appointed, and was welcomed thither quite as gladly by$4$ 
112:115,08['  ]| those whom$6#1$ he came to$9$ trifle$1$ with farther. 
112:115,09['  ]| $MP#H$Maria, with only $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth to$9$ attend to$4$ her, and 
112:115,10['  ]| doomed to$4$ the repeated details of his day's sport$0$, good or 
112:115,11['  ]| bad, his boast$0$ of his dogs, his jealousy of his neighbours, 
112:115,12['  ]| his doubts$0$ of their qualification, and his zeal after$4$ poachers, 
112:115,13['  ]| ~~ subjects which$6#1$ will$1$ not find their way to$4$ female$2$ feelings 
112:115,14['  ]| without some talent on$4$ one side$0$, or some attachment on$4$ 
112:115,15['  ]| the other, had missed $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford grievously; and 
112:115,16['  ]| $MP#I$Julia, unengaged and unemployed, felt all the right$0$ of 
112:115,17['  ]| missing him much more. Each sister believed herself 
112:115,18['  ]| the favourite$0$. $MP#I$Julia might be justified in$4$ so$5#2$ doing by$4$ the 
112:115,19['  ]| hints of $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, inclined to$9$ credit$1$ what she wished, and 
112:115,20['  ]| $MP#H$Maria by$4$ the hints of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford himself. Every*thing 
112:115,21['  ]| returned into the same channel as before$4$ his absence; 
112:115,22['  ]| his manners being$1$ to$4$ each so$5#1$ animated and agreeable, as 
112:115,23['  ]| to$9$ lose no$2$ ground with either, and just$5$ stopping short of 
112:115,24['  ]| the consistence, the steadiness, the solicitude, and the 
112:115,25['  ]| warmth which$6#1$ might excite general$2$ notice$0$. 
112:115,26['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was the only one of the party who$6#1$ found any*thing 
112:115,27['  ]| to$9$ dislike$1$; 
112:115,27@a   | but since the day at Sotherton, she could 
112:115,28@a   | never see $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford with either sister without observation, 
112:115,29@a   | and seldom without wonder$0$ or censure$0$; 
112:115,29['  ]| and had 
112:115,30['  ]| her confidence in$4$ her own$2$ judgment been equal$2$ to$4$ her 
112:115,31['  ]| exercise$0$ of it in$4$ every other respect$0$, had she been sure that$3$ 
112:115,32['  ]| she was seeing clearly, and judging candidly, she would 
112:115,33['  ]| probably have made some important communications to$4$ 
112:115,34['  ]| her usual confidant. As it was, however, she only 
112:115,35['  ]| hazarded a hint$0$, and the hint$0$ was lost. 
112:115,35[A  ]| "I am rather 
112:115,36[A  ]| surprised," 
112:115,36['  ]| said she, 
112:115,36[A  ]| "that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford should come 
112:115,37[A  ]| back$5$ again so$5#1$ soon, after$4$ being$1$ here so$5#1$ long before$5$, full 
112:115,38[A  ]| seven weeks; for$3$ I had understood he was so$5#1$ very fond 
112:116,01[A  ]| of change$0$ and moving about$5$, that$3$ I thought$1$ something 
112:116,02[A  ]| would certainly occur when he was once gone, to$9$ take him 
112:116,03[A  ]| elsewhere. He is used to$4$ much gayer places$0$ than Mansfield." 
112:116,04[A  ]| 
112:116,05[B  ]| "It is to$4$ his credit$0$," 
112:116,05['  ]| was $MP#B$Edmund's answer$0$, 
112:116,05[B  ]| "and I 
112:116,06[B  ]| dare$1#2$ say it gives his sister pleasure. She does not like$1$ 
112:116,07[B  ]| his unsettled habits." 
112:116,08[A  ]| "What a favourite$0$ he is with my cousins!" 
112:116,09[B  ]| "Yes, his manners to$4$ women are such as must please. 
112:116,10[B  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, I believe, suspects him of a preference for$4$ 
112:116,11[B  ]| $MP#I$Julia; I have never seen much symptom of it, but I wish$1$ 
112:116,12[B  ]| it may$1$ be so$5#2$. He has no$2$ faults but what a serious$2$ attachment 
112:116,13[B  ]| would remove$1$." 
112:116,14[A  ]| "If $MP#H$Miss*Bertram were not engaged," 
112:116,14['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, 
112:116,15['  ]| cautiously, 
112:116,15[A  ]| "I could sometimes almost think that$3$ he 
112:116,16[A  ]| admired her more than $MP#I$Julia." 
112:116,17[B  ]| "Which$6#1$ is, perhaps, more in$4$ favour$0$ of his liking $MP#I$Julia 
112:116,18[B  ]| best, than you, $MP#A$Fanny, may$1$ be aware; for$3$ I believe it 
112:116,19[B  ]| often happens, that$3$ a man, before$3$ he has quite made up$5$ 
112:116,20[B  ]| his own$2$ mind$0$, will$1$ distinguish the sister or intimate$2$ friend 
112:116,21[B  ]| of the woman he is really thinking of, more than the 
112:116,22[B  ]| woman herself. $MP#D$Crawford has too$5#1$ much sense to$9$ stay$1$ here 
112:116,23[B  ]| if he found himself in$4$ any danger from $MP#H$Maria; and I am 
112:116,24[B  ]| not at all afraid for$4$ her, after$4$ such a proof as she has 
112:116,25[B  ]| given, that$3$ her feelings are not strong." 
112:116,26['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny supposed she must have been mistaken, and 
112:116,27['  ]| meant to$9$ think differently in$4$ future; 
112:116,27@a   | but with all that$6#1$ 
112:116,28@a   | submission to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund could do, and all the help$0$ of the 
112:116,29@a   | coinciding looks$0$ and hints which$6#1$ she occasionally noticed 
112:116,30@a   | in$4$ some of the others, and which$6#1$ seemed to$9$ say that$3$ $MP#I$Julia 
112:116,31@a   | was $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's choice$0$, she knew not always what to$9$ 
112:116,32@a   | think. 
112:116,32['  ]| She was privy, one evening, to$4$ the hopes$0$ of her 
112:116,33['  ]| aunt $MP#J$Norris on$4$ this subject$0$, as well$5$ as to$4$ her feelings, and 
112:116,34['  ]| the feelings of $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, on$4$ a point$0$ of some similarity, 
112:116,35@a   | and could not help$1$ wondering as she listened; 
112:116,36@a   | and glad would she have been not to$9$ be obliged to$9$ listen, 
112:116,37['  ]| for$3$ it was while$3$ all the other young people were dancing, 
112:116,38['  ]| and she sitting, most unwillingly, among the chaperons 
112:117,01['  ]| at the fire$0$, longing for$4$ the re-entrance of her elder cousin, 
112:117,02['  ]| on$4$ whom$6#1$ all her own$2$ hopes$0$ of a partner then depended. 
112:117,03['  ]| It was $MP#A$Fanny's first ball$0#2$, though without the preparation 
112:117,04['  ]| or splendour of many a young lady's first ball$0#2$, being$1$ the 
112:117,05['  ]| thought$0$ only of the afternoon, built on$4$ the late acquisition 
112:117,06['  ]| of a violin player in$4$ the servants' hall, and the possibility 
112:117,07['  ]| of raising five couple with the help$0$ of $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
112:117,08['  ]| and a new intimate$2$ friend of $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram's just$5$ arrived 
112:117,09['  ]| on$4$ a visit$0$. It had, however, been a very happy one to$4$ 
112:117,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny through$4$ four dances$0$, and she was quite grieved to$9$ 
112:117,11['  ]| be losing even$5$ a quarter$0#1$ of an hour. ~~ While$4$ waiting and 
112:117,12['  ]| wishing, looking now at the dancers and now at the door, 
112:117,13['  ]| this dialogue between the two above-mentioned ladies 
112:117,14['  ]| was forced on$4$ her. 
112:117,15[J  ]| "I think, ma'am," 
112:117,15['  ]| said $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris ~~ her eyes directed 
112:117,16['  ]| towards $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth and $MP#H$Maria, who$6#1$ were partners 
112:117,17['  ]| for$4$ the second$2$ time ~~ 
112:117,17[J  ]| "we shall see some happy faces 
112:117,18[J  ]| again now." 
112:117,19[L  ]| "Yes, ma'am, indeed" 
112:117,19['  ]| ~~ replied the other, with a 
112:117,20['  ]| stately simper ~~ 
112:117,20[L  ]| "there will$1$ be some satisfaction in$4$ looking 
112:117,21[L  ]| on$5$ \now\, and I think it was rather a pity$0$ they should 
112:117,22[L  ]| have been obliged to$9$ part$1$. Young folks in$4$ their situation 
112:117,23[L  ]| should be excused complying with the common$2$ forms. ~~ 
112:117,24[L  ]| I wonder$1$ my son did not propose it." 
112:117,25[J  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say he did, ma'am. ~~ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is never 
112:117,26[J  ]| remiss. But dear$2#1$ $MP#H$Maria has such a strict sense of propriety, 
112:117,27[J  ]| so$5#1$ much of that$6#2$ true delicacy which$6#1$ one seldom 
112:117,28[J  ]| meets with now-a-days, $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, that$6#2$ wish$0$ of 
112:117,29[J  ]| avoiding particularity! ~~ Dear$2#1$ ma'am, only look$1$ at her 
112:117,30[J  ]| face$0$ at this moment; ~~ how different from what it was 
112:117,31[J  ]| the two last$2$ dances$0$!" 
112:117,32@a   | $MP#H$Miss*Bertram did indeed look$1$ happy, her eyes were 
112:117,33@a   | sparkling with pleasure, and she was speaking with great 
112:117,34@a   | animation, for$3$ $MP#I$Julia and her partner, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, were 
112:117,35@a   | close$5$ to$4$ her; they were all in$4$ a cluster together. How 
112:117,36@a   | she had looked before$5$, $MP#A$Fanny could not recollect, for$3$ she 
112:117,37@a   | had been dancing with $MP#B$Edmund herself, and had not 
112:117,38@a   | thought$1$ about$4$ her. 
112:118,01['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris continued, 
112:118,01[J  ]| "It is quite delightful, ma'am, 
112:118,02[J  ]| to$9$ see young people so$5#1$ properly happy, so$5#1$ well$5$ suited, 
112:118,03[J  ]| and so$5#1$ much the thing! I cannot but think of dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
112:118,04[J  ]| delight$0$. And what do you say, ma'am, to$4$ the 
112:118,05[J  ]| chance$0$ of another match$0$? $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth has set$1$ a good 
112:118,06[J  ]| example, and such things are very catching." 
112:118,07['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, who$6#1$ saw nothing but her son, was 
112:118,08['  ]| quite at a loss. 
112:118,08[J  ]| "The couple above$5$, ma'am. Do you 
112:118,09[J  ]| see no$2$ symptoms there?" 
112:118,10[L  ]| "Oh! dear$7$ ~~ $MP#I$Miss*Julia and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. Yes, indeed, 
112:118,11[L  ]| a very pretty$2$ match$0$. What is his property?" 
112:118,12[J  ]| "Four thousand a year." 
112:118,13[L  ]| "Very well$5$. ~~ Those who$6#1$ have not more, must be satisfied 
112:118,14[L  ]| with what they have. ~~ Four thousand a year is a 
112:118,15[L  ]| pretty$2$ estate, and he seems a very genteel, steady young 
112:118,16[L  ]| man, so$3$ I hope$1$ $MP#I$Miss*Julia will$1$ be very happy." 
112:118,17[J  ]| "It is not a settled thing, ma'am, yet. ~~ We only speak 
112:118,18[J  ]| of it among friends. But I have very little doubt$0$ it \will$1$\ 
112:118,19[J  ]| \be\. ~~ He is growing extremely particular in$4$ his attentions." 
112:118,20['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could listen no$2$ farther. 
112:118,20@a   | Listening and wondering 
112:118,21@a   | were all suspended for$4$ a time, for$3$ $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram was in$4$ 
112:118,22@a   | the room again, and though feeling it would be a great 
112:118,23@a   | honour$0$ to$9$ be asked by$4$ him, she thought$1$ it must happen. 
112:118,24['  ]| He came towards their little circle; but instead of asking 
112:118,25['  ]| her to$9$ dance$1$, drew a chair near$4$ her, and gave her an 
112:118,26['  ]| account$0$ of the present$2$ state$0$ of a sick horse, and the opinion 
112:118,27['  ]| of the groom, from whom$6#1$ he had just$5$ parted. $MP#A$Fanny 
112:118,28['  ]| found that$3$ 
112:118,28@a   | it was not to$9$ be, 
112:118,28['  ]| and in$4$ the modesty of her 
112:118,29['  ]| nature immediately felt that$3$ 
112:118,29@a   | she had been unreasonable 
112:118,30@a   | in$4$ expecting it. 
112:118,30['  ]| When he had told of his horse, he took 
112:118,31['  ]| a newspaper from the table, and looking over it said 
112:118,32['  ]| in$4$ a languid way, 
112:118,32[G  ]| "If you want$1$ to$9$ dance$1$, $MP#A$Fanny, I will$1$ 
112:118,33[G  ]| stand$1$ up$5$ with you." ~~ 
112:118,33['  ]| With more than equal$2$ civility the 
112:118,34['  ]| offer$0$ was declined; 
112:118,34@a   | ~~ she did not wish$1$ to$9$ dance$1$. ~~ 
112:118,34[G  ]| "I am 
112:118,35[G  ]| glad of it," 
112:118,35['  ]| said he in$4$ a much brisker tone, and throwing 
112:118,36['  ]| down$5$ the newspaper again ~~ 
112:118,36[G  ]| "for$3$ I am tired to$4$ death. I 
112:118,37[G  ]| only wonder$1$ how the good people can keep it up$5$ so$5#1$ long. ~~ 
112:118,38[G  ]| They had need$1$ be \all\ in$4$ love$0$, to$9$ find any amusement in$4$ 
112:119,01[G  ]| such folly ~~ and so$5#2$ they are, I fancy$1$. ~~ If you look$1$ at them, 
112:119,02[G  ]| you may$1$ see they are so$5#1$ many couple of lovers ~~ all but 
112:119,03[G  ]| $MP#R$Yates and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant ~~ and, between ourselves, she, poor 
112:119,04[G  ]| woman! must want$1$ a lover as much as any one of them. 
112:119,05[G  ]| A desperate dull life her's must be with the $MP#M$doctor," 
112:119,06['  ]| making a sly face$0$ as he spoke towards the chair of the 
112:119,07['  ]| latter, who$6#1$ proving, however, to$9$ be close$5$ at his elbow, 
112:119,08['  ]| made so$5#1$ instantaneous a change$0$ of expression and subject$0$ 
112:119,09['  ]| necessary, as $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ spite$8$ of every*thing, could hardly 
112:119,10['  ]| help$1$ laughing at. ~~ 
112:119,10[G  ]| "A strange business this in$4$ America, 
112:119,11[G  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant! ~~ What is your opinion? ~~ I always come to$4$ 
112:119,12[G  ]| you to$9$ know what I am to$9$ think of public$2$ matters." 
112:119,13[J  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#G$Tom," 
112:119,13['  ]| cried his aunt soon afterwards, 
112:119,13[J  ]| "as 
112:119,14[J  ]| you are not dancing, I dare$1#2$ say you will$1$ have no$2$ objection 
112:119,15[J  ]| to$9$ join us in$4$ a rubber; shall you?" ~~ 
112:119,15['  ]| then, leaving her 
112:119,16['  ]| seat, and coming to$4$ him to$9$ enforce the proposal, added 
112:119,17['  ]| in$4$ a whisper$0$ ~~ 
112:119,17[J  ]| "We want$1$ to$9$ make$1$ a table for$4$ $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
112:119,18[J  ]| you know. ~~ Your mother is quite anxious about$4$ 
112:119,19[J  ]| it, but cannot very well$5$ spare$1$ time to$9$ sit down$5$ herself, 
112:119,20[J  ]| because of her fringe. Now, you and I and $MP#M$Dr%*Grant 
112:119,21[J  ]| will$1$ just$5$ do; and though \we\ play$1$ but half-crowns, you 
112:119,22[J  ]| know you may$1$ bet half-guineas with \him\." 
112:119,23[G  ]| "I should be most happy," 
112:119,23['  ]| replied he aloud, and jumping 
112:119,24['  ]| up$5$ with alacrity, 
112:119,24[G  ]| "it would give me the greatest pleasure 
112:119,25[G  ]| ~~ but that$3$ I am this moment going to$9$ dance$1$. Come, 
112:119,26[G  ]| $MP#A$Fanny," ~~ 
112:119,26['  ]| taking her hand$0$ ~~ 
112:119,26[G  ]| "do not be dawdling any 
112:119,27[G  ]| longer, or the dance$0$ will$1$ be over." 
112:119,28['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was led off very willingly, though it was impossible 
112:119,29['  ]| for$4$ her to$9$ feel much gratitude towards her cousin, 
112:119,30['  ]| or distinguish, as he certainly did, between the selfishness 
112:119,31['  ]| of another person and his own$2$. 
112:119,32[G  ]| "A pretty$5$ modest request$0$ upon$4$ my word!" 
112:119,32['  ]| he indignantly 
112:119,33['  ]| exclaimed as they walked away. 
112:119,33[G  ]| "To$9$ want$1$ to$9$ 
112:119,34[G  ]| nail me to$4$ a card*table for$4$ the next two hours with herself 
112:119,35[G  ]| and $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, who$6#1$ are always quarrelling, and that$6#2$ 
112:119,36[G  ]| poking old woman, who$6#1$ knows no$2$ more of whist than of 
112:119,37[G  ]| algebra. I wish$1$ my good aunt would be a little less busy! 
112:119,38[G  ]| And to$9$ ask me in$4$ such a way too$5#2$! without ceremony, 
112:120,01[G  ]| before$4$ them all, so$3$ as to$9$ leave$1$ me no$2$ possibility of refusing! 
112:120,02[G  ]| \That$6#2$\ is what I dislike$1$ most particularly. It raises 
112:120,03[G  ]| my spleen more than any*thing, to$9$ have the pretence of 
112:120,04[G  ]| being$1$ asked, of being$1$ given a choice$0$, and at the same time 
112:120,05[G  ]| addressed in$4$ such a way as to$9$ oblige one to$9$ do the very 
112:120,06[G  ]| thing ~~ whatever it be! If I had not luckily thought$1$ of 
112:120,07[G  ]| standing up$5$ with you, I could not have got out$5$ of it. It is 
112:120,08[G  ]| a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ bad. But when my aunt has got a fancy$0$ 
112:120,09[G  ]| in$4$ her head$0$, nothing can stop$1$ her." 
113:121,01['  ]| The $MP#R$Honourable*John*Yates, this new friend, had not 
113:121,02['  ]| much to$9$ recommend him beyond$4$ habits of fashion$0$ and 
113:121,03['  ]| expense, and being$1$ the younger son of a lord$0$ with a tolerable 
113:121,04['  ]| independence; and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas would probably have 
113:121,05['  ]| thought$1$ his introduction at Mansfield by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ desirable. 
113:121,06['  ]| $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram's acquaintance with him had begun 
113:121,07['  ]| at Weymouth, where they had spent ten days together 
113:121,08['  ]| in$4$ the same society, and the friendship, if friendship it 
113:121,09['  ]| might be called, had been proved and perfected by$4$ 
113:121,10['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's being$1$ invited to$9$ take Mansfield in$4$ his way, 
113:121,11['  ]| whenever he could, and by$4$ his promising to$9$ come; and 
113:121,12['  ]| he did come rather earlier than had been expected, in$4$ 
113:121,13['  ]| consequence of the sudden$2$ breaking-up of a large party 
113:121,14['  ]| assembled for$4$ gaiety at the house of another friend, which$6#1$ 
113:121,15['  ]| he had left Weymouth to$9$ join. He came on$4$ the wings of 
113:121,16['  ]| disappointment, and with his head$0$ full of acting, for$3$ it 
113:121,17['  ]| had been a theatrical party; and the play$0$, in$4$ which$6#1$ he 
113:121,18['  ]| had borne a part$0$, was within two days of representation, 
113:121,19['  ]| when the sudden$2$ death of one of the nearest connections 
113:121,20['  ]| of the family had destroyed the scheme$0$ and dispersed the 
113:121,21['  ]| performers. To$9$ be so$5#1$ near$4$ happiness, so$5#1$ near$4$ fame, so$5#1$ near$4$ 
113:121,22['  ]| the long paragraph in$4$ praise$0$ of the private$2$ theatricals at 
113:121,23['  ]| Ecclesford, the seat of the $MP#ZZD$Right*Hon%*Lord*Ravenshaw, 
113:121,24['  ]| in$4$ Cornwall, which$6#1$ would of course$8$ have immortalized 
113:121,25['  ]| the whole$2$ party for$4$ at least a twelvemonth! and being$1$ 
113:121,26['  ]| so$5#1$ near$5$, to$9$ lose it all, was an injury to$9$ be keenly felt, and 
113:121,27['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates could talk$1$ of nothing else. Ecclesford and its 
113:121,28['  ]| theatre, with its arrangements and dresses$0$, rehearsals and 
113:121,29['  ]| jokes, was his never-failing subject$0$, and to$9$ boast$1$ of the 
113:121,30['  ]| past$0$ his only consolation. 
113:121,31['  ]| Happily for$4$ him, a love$0$ of the theatre is so$5#1$ general$2$, an 
113:121,32['  ]| itch for$4$ acting so$5#1$ strong among young people, that$3$ he 
113:122,01['  ]| could hardly out-talk the interest$0$ of his hearers. From 
113:122,02['  ]| the first casting of the parts, to$4$ the epilogue, it was all 
113:122,03['  ]| bewitching, and there were few who$6#1$ did not wish$1$ to$9$ have 
113:122,04['  ]| been a party concerned, or would have hesitated to$9$ try 
113:122,05['  ]| their skill. The play$0$ had been Lovers'*Vows, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates 
113:122,06['  ]| was to$9$ have been $MP#ZZN$Count*Cassel. 
113:122,06[R  ]| "A trifling part$0$," 
113:122,07['  ]| said he, 
113:122,07[R  ]| "and not at all to$4$ my taste, and such a one as I 
113:122,08[R  ]| certainly would not accept again; but I was determined 
113:122,09[R  ]| to$9$ make$1$ no$2$ difficulties. $MP#ZZD$Lord*Ravenshaw and the duke 
113:122,10[R  ]| had appropriated the only two characters worth playing 
113:122,11[R  ]| before$3$ I reached Ecclesford; and though $MP#ZZD$Lord*Ravenshaw 
113:122,12[R  ]| offered to$9$ resign his to$4$ me, it was impossible to$9$ take 
113:122,13[R  ]| it, you know. I was sorry for$4$ \him\ that$3$ he should have 
113:122,14[R  ]| so$5#1$ mistaken his powers, for$3$ he was no$2$ more equal$2$ to$4$ the 
113:122,15[R  ]| $MP#ZZM$Baron! A little man, with a weak voice, always hoarse 
113:122,16[R  ]| after$4$ the first ten minutes! It must have injured the 
113:122,17[R  ]| piece materially; but \I\ was resolved to$9$ make$1$ no$2$ difficulties. 
113:122,18[R  ]| $MP#ZM$Sir*Henry thought$1$ the duke not equal$2$ to$4$ $MP#ZZP$Frederick, 
113:122,19[R  ]| but that$6#2$ was because $MP#ZM$Sir*Henry wanted the part$0$ 
113:122,20[R  ]| himself; whereas it was certainly in$4$ the best hands of the 
113:122,21[R  ]| two. I was surprised to$9$ see $MP#ZM$Sir*Henry such a stick. 
113:122,22[R  ]| Luckily the strength of the piece did not depend upon$4$ 
113:122,23[R  ]| him. Our $MP#ZZU$Agatha was inimitable, and the duke was 
113:122,24[R  ]| thought$1$ very great by$4$ many. And upon$4$ the whole$0$ it 
113:122,25[R  ]| would certainly have gone off wonderfully." 
113:122,26[X  ]| "It was a hard case, upon$4$ my word;" 
113:122,26['  ]| and, 
113:122,26[X  ]| "I do 
113:122,27[X  ]| think you were very much to$9$ be pitied;" 
113:122,27['  ]| were the kind$2$ 
113:122,28['  ]| responses of listening sympathy. 
113:122,29[R  ]| "It is not worth complaining about$4$, but to$9$ be sure the 
113:122,30[R  ]| poor old dowager could not have died at a worse time; 
113:122,31[R  ]| and it is impossible to$9$ help$1$ wishing, that$3$ the news could 
113:122,32[R  ]| have been suppressed for$4$ just$5$ the three days we wanted. 
113:122,33[R  ]| It was but three days; and being$1$ only a grand-mother, 
113:122,34[R  ]| and all happening two hundred miles off, I think there 
113:122,35[R  ]| would have been no$2$ great harm$0$, and it \was\ suggested, I 
113:122,36[R  ]| know; but $MP#ZZD$Lord*Ravenshaw, who$6#1$ I suppose is one of the 
113:122,37[R  ]| most correct$2$ men in$4$ England, would not hear of it." 
113:122,38[G  ]| "An after-piece instead of a comedy," 
113:122,38['  ]| said $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram. 
113:123,01[G  ]| "Lovers'*Vows were at an end$0$, and $MP#ZZD$Lord and 
113:123,01[G  ]| $MP#ZZD$Lady*Ravenshaw 
113:123,02[G  ]| left to$9$ act$1$ My*Grandmother by$4$ themselves. 
113:123,03[G  ]| Well$7$, the jointure may$1$ comfort$1$ \him\; and perhaps, 
113:123,04[G  ]| between friends, he began to$9$ tremble$1$ for$4$ his credit$0$ and 
113:123,05[G  ]| his lungs in$4$ the $MP#ZZM$Baron, and was not sorry to$9$ withdraw; 
113:123,06[G  ]| and to$9$ make$1$ \you\ amends, $MP#R$Yates, I think we must raise 
113:123,07[G  ]| a little theatre at Mansfield, and ask you to$9$ be our 
113:123,08[G  ]| manager." 
113:123,09['  ]| This, though the thought$0$ of the moment, did not end$1$ 
113:123,10['  ]| with the moment; for$3$ the inclination to$9$ act$1$ was awakened, 
113:123,11['  ]| and in$4$ no*one more strongly than in$4$ him who$6#1$ was now 
113:123,12['  ]| master of the house; and who$6#1$ having so$5#1$ much leisure as 
113:123,13['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ almost any novelty a certain good, had likewise 
113:123,14['  ]| such a degree of lively talents and comic taste, as were 
113:123,15['  ]| exactly adapted to$4$ the novelty of acting. The thought$0$ 
113:123,16['  ]| returned again and again. 
113:123,16[G  ]| "Oh! for$4$ the Ecclesford 
113:123,17[G  ]| theatre and scenery to$9$ try something with." 
113:123,17['  ]| Each sister 
113:123,18['  ]| could echo the wish$0$; and $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, to$4$ whom$6#1$, in$4$ 
113:123,19['  ]| all the riot of his gratifications, it was yet an untasted 
113:123,20['  ]| pleasure, was quite alive at the idea. 
113:123,20[D  ]| "I really believe," 
113:123,21['  ]| said he, 
113:123,21[D  ]| "I could be fool enough at this moment to$9$ undertake 
113:123,22[D  ]| any character that$6#1$ ever was written, from $MP#Z2$Shylock 
113:123,23[D  ]| or $MP#Z1$Richard*III% down$5$ to$4$ the singing hero of a farce in$4$ his 
113:123,24[D  ]| scarlet coat and cocked hat. I feel as if I could be any*thing 
113:123,25[D  ]| or every*thing, as if I could rant$1$ and storm$1$, or sigh$1$, 
113:123,26[D  ]| or cut$1$ capers in$4$ any tragedy or comedy in$4$ the English 
113:123,27[D  ]| language. Let us be doing something. Be it only half 
113:123,28[D  ]| a play$0$ ~~ an act$0$ ~~ a scene; what should prevent us? Not 
113:123,29[D  ]| these countenances I am sure," 
113:123,29['  ]| looking towards the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams, 
113:123,30[D  ]| "and for$4$ a theatre, what signifies a theatre? 
113:123,31[D  ]| We shall be only amusing ourselves. Any room in$4$ this 
113:123,32[D  ]| house might suffice." 
113:123,33[G  ]| "We must have a curtain," 
113:123,33['  ]| said $MP#G$Tom*Bertram, 
113:123,33[G  ]| "a few 
113:123,34[G  ]| yards of green baize for$4$ a curtain, and perhaps that$6#2$ may$1$ 
113:123,35[G  ]| be enough." 
113:123,36[R  ]| "Oh! quite enough," 
113:123,36['  ]| cried $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, 
113:123,36[R  ]| "with only just$5$ 
113:123,37[R  ]| a side$2$ wing or two run$1$ up$5$, doors in$4$ flat, and three or four 
113:123,38[R  ]| scenes to$9$ be let down$5$; nothing more would be necessary 
113:124,01[R  ]| on$4$ such a plan as this. For$4$ mere amusement among ourselves, 
113:124,02[R  ]| we should want$1$ nothing more." 
113:124,03[H  ]| "I believe we must be satisfied with \less\," 
113:124,03['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria. 
113:124,04[H  ]| "There would not be time, and other difficulties would 
113:124,05[H  ]| arise. We must rather adopt $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's views, and 
113:124,06[H  ]| make$1$ the \performance\, not the \theatre\, our object$0$. Many 
113:124,07[H  ]| parts of our best plays$0$ are independent of scenery." 
113:124,08[B  ]| "Nay," 
113:124,08['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, who$6#1$ began to$9$ listen with alarm$0$. 
113:124,09[B  ]| "Let us do nothing by$4$ halves. If we are to$9$ act$1$, let it be 
113:124,10[B  ]| in$4$ a theatre completely fitted up$5$ with pit, box, and gallery, 
113:124,11[B  ]| and let us have a play$0$ entire from beginning to$4$ end$0$; so$3$ 
113:124,12[B  ]| as it be a German play$0$, no$2$ matter what, with a good tricking, 
113:124,13[B  ]| shifting after-piece, and a figure-dance, and a horn-pipe, 
113:124,14[B  ]| and a song between the acts$0$. If we do not out$5$ do 
113:124,15[B  ]| Ecclesford, we do nothing." 
113:124,16[I  ]| "Now, $MP#B$Edmund, do not be disagreeable," 
113:124,16['  ]| said $MP#I$Julia. 
113:124,17[I  ]| "Nobody loves a play$0$ better than you do, or can have 
113:124,18[I  ]| gone much farther to$9$ see one." 
113:124,19[B  ]| "True, to$9$ see real acting, good hardened real acting; 
113:124,20[B  ]| but I would hardly walk$1$ from this room to$4$ the next to$9$ 
113:124,21[B  ]| look$1$ at the raw efforts of those who$6#1$ have not been bred 
113:124,22[B  ]| to$4$ the trade, ~~ a set$0$ of gentlemen and ladies, who$6#1$ have all 
113:124,23[B  ]| the disadvantages of education and decorum to$9$ struggle$1$ 
113:124,24[B  ]| through$4$." 
113:124,25['  ]| After$4$ a short pause$0$, however, the subject$0$ still$5$ continued, 
113:124,26['  ]| and was discussed with unabated eagerness, every*one's 
113:124,27['  ]| inclination increasing by$4$ the discussion, and a knowledge 
113:124,28['  ]| of the inclination of the rest$0#1$; and though nothing was 
113:124,29['  ]| settled but that$3$ $MP#G$Tom*Bertram would prefer a comedy, 
113:124,30['  ]| and his sisters and $MP#D$Henry*Crawford a tragedy, and that$3$ 
113:124,31['  ]| nothing in$4$ the world could be easier than to$9$ find a piece 
113:124,32['  ]| which$6#1$ would please them all, the resolution to$9$ act$1$ something 
113:124,33['  ]| or other, seemed so$5#1$ decided, as to$9$ make$1$ $MP#B$Edmund 
113:124,34['  ]| quite uncomfortable. He was determined to$9$ prevent it, 
113:124,35['  ]| if possible, though his mother, who$6#1$ equally heard the 
113:124,36['  ]| conversation which$6#1$ passed at table, did not evince the 
113:124,37['  ]| least disapprobation. 
113:124,38['  ]| The same evening afforded him an opportunity of trying$1$ 
113:125,01['  ]| his strength. $MP#H$Maria, $MP#I$Julia, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, 
113:125,02['  ]| were in$4$ the billiard-room. $MP#G$Tom returning from 
113:125,03['  ]| them into the drawing-room, where $MP#B$Edmund was standing 
113:125,04['  ]| thoughtfully by$4$ the fire$0$, while$3$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was on$4$ the 
113:125,05['  ]| sofa at a little distance$0$, and $MP#A$Fanny close$5$ beside$4$ her arranging 
113:125,06['  ]| her work$0$, thus began as he entered. 
113:125,06[G  ]| "Such a horribly 
113:125,07[G  ]| vile billiard-table as ours, is not to$9$ be met with, I believe, 
113:125,08[G  ]| above$4$ ground! I can stand$1$ it no$2$ longer, and I think, I 
113:125,09[G  ]| may$1$ say, that$3$ nothing shall ever tempt me to$4$ it again. 
113:125,10[G  ]| But one good thing I have just$5$ ascertained. It is the 
113:125,11[G  ]| very room for$4$ a theatre, precisely the shape$0$ and length 
113:125,12[G  ]| for$4$ it, and the doors at the farther end$0$, communicating 
113:125,13[G  ]| with each other as they may$1$ be made to$9$ do in$4$ five minutes, 
113:125,14[G  ]| by$4$ merely moving the book-case in$4$ my father's room, is 
113:125,15[G  ]| the very thing we could have desired, if we had set$1$ down$5$ 
113:125,16[G  ]| to$9$ wish$1$ for$4$ it. And my father's room will$1$ be an excellent 
113:125,17[G  ]| green-room. It seems to$9$ join the billiard-room on$4$ 
113:125,18[G  ]| purpose." 
113:125,19[B  ]| "You are not serious$2$, $MP#G$Tom, in$4$ meaning to$9$ act$1$?" 
113:125,19['  ]| said 
113:125,20['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund in$4$ a low voice, as his brother approached the fire$0$. 
113:125,21[G  ]| "Not serious$2$! never more so$5#2$, I assure you. What is 
113:125,22[G  ]| there to$9$ surprise$1$ you in$4$ it?" 
113:125,23[B  ]| "I think it would be very wrong. In$4$ a \general$2$\ light$0$, 
113:125,24[B  ]| private$2$ theatricals are open$2$ to$4$ some objections, but as \we\ 
113:125,25[B  ]| are circumstanced, I must think it would be highly injudicious, 
113:125,26[B  ]| and more than injudicious, to$9$ attempt$1$ any*thing 
113:125,27[B  ]| of the kind$0$. It would show$1$ great want$0$ of feeling on$4$ my 
113:125,28[B  ]| father's account$0$, absent as he is, and in$4$ some degree of 
113:125,29[B  ]| constant danger; and it would be imprudent, I think, 
113:125,30[B  ]| with regard$0$ to$4$ $MP#H$Maria, whose$6#1$ situation is a very delicate 
113:125,31[B  ]| one, considering every*thing, extremely delicate." 
113:125,32[G  ]| "You take up$5$ a thing so$5#1$ seriously! as if we were going 
113:125,33[G  ]| to$9$ act$1$ three times a week till my father's return$0$, and 
113:125,34[G  ]| invite all the country. But it is not to$9$ be a display$0$ of 
113:125,35[G  ]| that$6#2$ sort. We mean$1$ nothing but a little amusement 
113:125,36[G  ]| among ourselves, just$5$ to$9$ vary the scene, and exercise$1$ our 
113:125,37[G  ]| powers in$4$ something new. We want$1$ no$2$ audience, no$2$ 
113:125,38[G  ]| publicity. We may$1$ be trusted, I think, in$4$ choosing some 
113:126,01[G  ]| play$0$ most perfectly unexceptionable, and I can conceive 
113:126,02[G  ]| no$2$ greater harm$0$ or danger to$4$ any of us in$4$ conversing in$4$ 
113:126,03[G  ]| the elegant written language of some respectable author 
113:126,04[G  ]| than in$4$ chattering in$4$ words of our own$2$. I have no$2$ fears, 
113:126,05[G  ]| and no$2$ scruples. And as to$4$ my father's being$1$ absent, it 
113:126,06[G  ]| is so$5#1$ far from an objection, that$3$ I consider it rather as 
113:126,07[G  ]| a motive; for$3$ the expectation of his return$0$ must be a very 
113:126,08[G  ]| anxious period to$4$ my mother, and if we can be the means$0$ 
113:126,09[G  ]| of amusing that$6#2$ anxiety, and keeping up$5$ her spirits for$4$ 
113:126,10[G  ]| the next few weeks, I shall think our time very well$5$ spent, 
113:126,11[G  ]| and so$5#2$ I am sure will$1$ he. ~~ It is a \very\ anxious period for$4$ 
113:126,12[G  ]| her." 
113:126,13['  ]| As he said this, each looked towards their mother. 
113:126,14['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, sunk back$5$ in$4$ one corner of the sofa, the 
113:126,15['  ]| picture$0$ of health, wealth, ease$0$, and tranquillity, was just$5$ 
113:126,16['  ]| falling into a gentle doze, while$3$ $MP#A$Fanny was getting through$4$ 
113:126,17['  ]| the few difficulties of her work$0$ for$4$ her. 
113:126,18['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund smiled and shook his head$0$. 
113:126,19[G  ]| "By$4$ Jove! this won't do" 
113:126,19['  ]| cried $MP#G$Tom, throwing himself 
113:126,20['  ]| into a chair with a hearty laugh$0$. 
113:126,20[G  ]| "To$9$ be sure, my 
113:126,21[G  ]| dear$2#1$ mother, your anxiety ~~ I was unlucky there." 
113:126,22[F  ]| "What is the matter?" 
113:126,22['  ]| asked her ladyship in$4$ the 
113:126,23['  ]| heavy tone of one half roused, ~~ 
113:126,23[F  ]| "I was not asleep." 
113:126,24[G  ]| "Oh! dear$7$, no$7$ ma'am ~~ nobody suspected you ~~ Well$7$, 
113:126,25[G  ]| $MP#B$Edmund," 
113:126,25['  ]| he continued, returning to$4$ the former subject$0$, 
113:126,26['  ]| posture, and voice, as soon as $MP#F$Lady*Bertram began to$9$ 
113:126,27['  ]| nod$1$ again ~~ 
113:126,27[G  ]| "But \this\ I \will$1$\ maintain ~~ that$3$ we shall be 
113:126,28[G  ]| doing no$2$ harm$0$." 
113:126,29[B  ]| "I cannot agree with you ~~ I am convinced that$3$ my 
113:126,30[B  ]| father would totally disapprove it." 
113:126,31[G  ]| "And I am convinced to$4$ the contrary. ~~ Nobody is 
113:126,32[G  ]| fonder of the exercise$0$ of talent in$4$ young people, or promotes 
113:126,33[G  ]| it more, than my father; and for$4$ any*thing of the 
113:126,34[G  ]| acting, spouting, reciting kind$0$, I think he has always 
113:126,35[G  ]| a decided taste. I am sure he encouraged it in$4$ us as boys. 
113:126,36[G  ]| How many a time have we mourned over the dead body 
113:126,37[G  ]| of $MP#Z1$Julius*Ca*esar, and \to$9$\ \be'd\ and \not\ \to$9$\ \be'd\, in$4$ this 
113:126,37[G  ]| very 
113:126,38[G  ]| room, for$4$ his amusement! And I am sure, \my\ \name$0$\ \was\ 
113:127,01[G  ]| \Norval\, every evening of my life through$4$ one Christmas 
113:127,02[G  ]| holidays." 
113:127,03[B  ]| "It was a very different thing. ~~ You must see the 
113:127,04[B  ]| difference yourself. My father wished us, as school-boys, 
113:127,05[B  ]| to$9$ speak well$5$, but he would never wish$1$ his grown up$5$ 
113:127,06[B  ]| daughters to$9$ be acting plays$0$. His sense of decorum is 
113:127,07[B  ]| strict." 
113:127,08[G  ]| "I know all that$6#2$," 
113:127,08['  ]| said $MP#G$Tom displeased. 
113:127,08[G  ]| "I know my 
113:127,09[G  ]| father as well$5$ as you do, and I'll take care$0$ that$3$ his daughters 
113:127,10[G  ]| do nothing to$9$ distress$1$ him. Manage your own$2$ concerns$0$, 
113:127,11[G  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, and I'll take care$0$ of the rest$0#1$ of the family." 
113:127,12[B  ]| "If you are resolved on$4$ acting," 
113:127,12['  ]| replied the persevering 
113:127,13['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, 
113:127,13[B  ]| "I must hope$1$ it will$1$ be in$4$ a very small and 
113:127,14[B  ]| quiet$2$ way; and I think a theatre ought not to$9$ be attempted. ~~ 
113:127,15[B  ]| It would be taking liberties with my father's 
113:127,16[B  ]| house in$4$ his absence which$6#1$ could not be justified." 
113:127,17[G  ]| "For$4$ every*thing of that$6#2$ nature, I will$1$ be answerable," 
113:127,18['  ]| ~~ said $MP#G$Tom, in$4$ a decided tone. ~~ 
113:127,18[G  ]| "His house shall not be 
113:127,19[G  ]| hurt. I have quite as great an interest$0$ in$4$ being$1$ careful 
113:127,20[G  ]| of his house as you can have; and as to$4$ such alterations 
113:127,21[G  ]| as I was suggesting just$5$ now, such as moving a book-case, 
113:127,22[G  ]| or unlocking a door, or even$5$ as using the billiard-room 
113:127,23[G  ]| for$4$ the space of a week without playing at billiards in$4$ it, 
113:127,24[G  ]| you might just$5$ as well$5$ suppose he would object$1$ to$4$ our 
113:127,25[G  ]| sitting more in$4$ this room, and less in$4$ the breakfast-room, 
113:127,26[G  ]| than we did before$3$ he went away, or to$4$ my sisters' piano-forte 
113:127,27[G  ]| being$1$ moved from one side$0$ of the room to$4$ the other. 
113:127,28[G  ]| ~~ Absolute nonsense!" 
113:127,29[B  ]| "The innovation, if not wrong as an innovation, will$1$ 
113:127,30[B  ]| be wrong as an expense." 
113:127,31[G  ]| "Yes, the expense of such an undertaking would be 
113:127,32[G  ]| prodigious! Perhaps it might cost$1$ a whole$2$ twenty 
113:127,33[G  ]| pounds. ~~ Something of a theatre we must have undoubtedly, 
113:127,34[G  ]| but it will$1$ be on$4$ the simplest plan; ~~ a green 
113:127,35[G  ]| curtain and a little carpenter's work$0$ ~~ and that's all; 
113:127,36[G  ]| and as the carpenter's work$0$ may$1$ be all done at home by$4$ 
113:127,37[G  ]| $MP#ZO$Christopher*Jackson himself, it will$1$ be too$5#1$ absurd to$9$ talk$1$ 
113:127,38[G  ]| of expense; ~~ and as long as $MP#ZO$Jackson is employed, every*thing 
113:128,01[G  ]| will$1$ be right$2#1$ with $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. ~~ Don't imagine that$3$ 
113:128,02[G  ]| nobody in$4$ this house can see or judge$1$ but yourself. ~~ 
113:128,03[G  ]| Don't act$1$ yourself, if you do not like$1$ it, but don't expect 
113:128,04[G  ]| to$9$ govern every*body else." 
113:128,05[B  ]| "No$7$, as to$4$ acting myself," 
113:128,05['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
113:128,05[B  ]| "\that$6#2$\ I absolutely 
113:128,06[B  ]| protest against." 
113:128,07['  ]| $MP#G$Tom walked out$5$ of the room as he said it, and $MP#B$Edmund 
113:128,08['  ]| was left to$9$ sit down$5$ and stir the fire$0$ in$4$ thoughtful vexation. 
113:128,09['  ]| 
113:128,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ had heard it all, and borne $MP#B$Edmund company 
113:128,11['  ]| in$4$ every feeling throughout the whole$0$, now ventured 
113:128,12['  ]| to$9$ say, in$4$ her anxiety to$9$ suggest some comfort$0$, 
113:128,12[A  ]| "Perhaps 
113:128,13[A  ]| they may$1$ not be able to$9$ find any play$0$ to$9$ suit$1$ them. Your 
113:128,14[A  ]| brother's taste, and your sisters', seem very different." 
113:128,15[B  ]| "I have no$2$ hope$0$ there, $MP#A$Fanny. If they persist in$4$ the 
113:128,16[B  ]| scheme$0$ they will$1$ find something ~~ I shall speak to$4$ my 
113:128,17[B  ]| sisters, and try to$9$ dissuade \them\, and that$6#2$ is all I can do." 
113:128,18[A  ]| "I should think my aunt $MP#J$Norris would be on$4$ your side$0$." 
113:128,19[B  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say she would; but she has no$2$ influence$0$ with 
113:128,20[B  ]| either $MP#G$Tom or my sisters that$6#1$ could be of any use$0$; and 
113:128,21[B  ]| if I cannot convince them myself, I shall let things take 
113:128,22[B  ]| their course$0$, without attempting it through$4$ her. Family 
113:128,23[B  ]| squabling is the greatest evil of all, and we had better 
113:128,24[B  ]| do any*thing than be altogether by$4$ the ears." 
113:128,25['  ]| His sisters, to$4$ whom$6#1$ he had an opportunity of speaking 
113:128,26['  ]| the next morning, were quite as impatient of his advice, 
113:128,27['  ]| quite as unyielding to$4$ his representation, quite as determined 
113:128,28['  ]| in$4$ the cause of pleasure, as $MP#G$Tom. 
113:128,28@y   | ~~ Their mother 
113:128,29@y   | had no$2$ objection to$4$ the plan, and they were not in$4$ the 
113:128,30@y   | least afraid of their father's disapprobation. ~~ There could 
113:128,31@y   | be no$2$ harm$0$ in$4$ what had been done in$4$ so$5#1$ many respectable 
113:128,32@y   | families, and by$4$ so$5#1$ many women of the first consideration; 
113:128,33@y   | and it must be scrupulousness run$1$ mad, that$6#1$ could 
113:128,34@y   | see any*thing to$9$ censure$1$ in$4$ a plan like$4$ their's, comprehending 
113:128,35@y   | only brothers and sisters, and intimate$2$ friends, 
113:128,36@y   | and which$6#1$ would never be heard of beyond$4$ themselves. 
113:128,37@b   | $MP#I$Julia \did\ seem inclined to$9$ admit that$3$ $MP#H$Maria's situation 
113:128,38@b   | might require particular caution$0$ and delicacy ~~ but that$6#2$ 
113:129,01@b   | could not extend to$4$ \her\ ~~ \she\ was at liberty; and $MP#H$Maria 
113:129,02@b   | evidently considered her engagement as only raising her 
113:129,03@b   | so$5#1$ much more above$4$ restraint, and leaving her less occasion$0$ 
113:129,04@b   | than $MP#I$Julia, to$9$ consult either father or mother. 
113:129,05['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had little to$9$ hope$1$, but he was still$5$ urging the 
113:129,06['  ]| subject$0$, when $MP#D$Henry*Crawford entered the room, fresh 
113:129,07['  ]| from the Parsonage, calling out$5$, 
113:129,07[D  ]| "No$2$ want$0$ of hands in$4$ 
113:129,08[D  ]| our Theatre, $MP#H$Miss*Bertram. No$2$ want$0$ of under*strappers 
113:129,09[D  ]| ~~ My sister desires her love$0$, and hopes$1$ to$9$ be admitted 
113:129,10[D  ]| into the company, and will$1$ be happy to$9$ take the part$0$ of 
113:129,11[D  ]| any old $MP#Z2$Duenna or tame $MP#Z2$Confidante, that$6#1$ you may$1$ not 
113:129,12[D  ]| like$1$ to$9$ do yourselves." 
113:129,13['  ]| $MP#H$Maria gave $MP#B$Edmund a glance$0$, which$6#1$ meant, 
113:129,13@h   | "What 
113:129,14@h   | say you now? Can we be wrong if $MP#C$Mary*Crawford feels 
113:129,15@h   | the same?" 
113:129,15['  ]| And $MP#B$Edmund silenced, was obliged to$9$ 
113:129,16['  ]| acknowledge that$3$ the charm$0$ of acting might well$5$ carry 
113:129,17['  ]| fascination to$4$ the mind$0$ of genius; and with the ingenuity 
113:129,18['  ]| of love$0$, to$9$ dwell more on$4$ the obliging, accommodating 
113:129,19['  ]| purport of the message than on$4$ any*thing else. 
113:129,20['  ]| The scheme$0$ advanced. Opposition was vain; and as 
113:129,21['  ]| to$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, he was mistaken in$4$ supposing she would 
113:129,22['  ]| wish$1$ to$9$ make$1$ any. She started no$2$ difficulties that$6#1$ were 
113:129,23['  ]| not talked down$5$ in$4$ five minutes by$4$ her eldest nephew and 
113:129,24['  ]| niece, who$6#1$ were all-powerful with her; and, as the whole$2$ 
113:129,25['  ]| arrangement was to$9$ bring very little expense to$4$ any*body, 
113:129,26['  ]| and none at all to$4$ herself, as she foresaw in$4$ it all the comforts 
113:129,27['  ]| of hurry$0$, bustle$0$ and importance, and derived the 
113:129,28['  ]| immediate advantage of fancying herself obliged to$9$ leave$1$ 
113:129,29['  ]| her own$2$ house, where she had been living a month at her 
113:129,30['  ]| own$2$ cost$0$, and take up$5$ her abode in$4$ their's, that$3$ every 
113:129,31['  ]| hour might be spent in$4$ their service; she was, in$4$ fact, 
113:129,32['  ]| exceedingly delighted with the project. 
114:130,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny seemed nearer being$1$ right$2#1$ than $MP#B$Edmund had 
114:130,02['  ]| supposed. The business of finding a play$0$ that$6#1$ would suit$1$ 
114:130,03['  ]| every*body, proved to$9$ be no$2$ trifle$0$; and the carpenter had 
114:130,04['  ]| received his orders$0#1$ and taken his measurements, had suggested 
114:130,05['  ]| and removed at least two sets of difficulties, and 
114:130,06['  ]| having made the necessity of an enlargement of plan and 
114:130,07['  ]| expense fully evident, was already at work$0$, while$3$ a play$0$ 
114:130,08['  ]| was still$5$ to$9$ seek. Other preparations were also in$4$ hand$0$. 
114:130,09['  ]| An enormous roll$0$ of green baize had arrived from Northampton, 
114:130,10['  ]| and been cut$1$ out$5$ by$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris (with a saving, 
114:130,11['  ]| by$4$ her good management, of full three quarters of a yard), 
114:130,12['  ]| and was actually forming into a curtain by$4$ the housemaids, 
114:130,13['  ]| and still$5$ the play$0$ was wanting; and as two or three days 
114:130,14['  ]| passed away in$4$ this manner, $MP#B$Edmund began almost to$9$ 
114:130,15['  ]| hope$1$ that$3$ none might ever be found. 
114:130,16['  ]| There were, in$4$ fact, so$5#1$ many things to$9$ be attended to$5$, 
114:130,17['  ]| so$5#1$ many people to$9$ be pleased, so$5#1$ many best characters 
114:130,18['  ]| required, and above$4$ all, such a need$0$ that$3$ the play$0$ should 
114:130,19['  ]| be at once both tragedy and comedy, that$3$ there did seem 
114:130,20['  ]| as little chance$0$ of a decision, as any*thing pursued by$4$ 
114:130,21['  ]| youth and zeal could hold$1$ out$5$. 
114:130,22['  ]| On$4$ the tragic side$0$ were the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, 
114:130,23['  ]| and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates; on$4$ the comic, $MP#G$Tom*Bertram, 
114:130,24['  ]| not \quite\ alone, because it was evident that$3$ $MP#C$Mary*Crawford's 
114:130,25['  ]| wishes$0$, though politely kept back$5$, inclined the 
114:130,26['  ]| same way; but his determinateness and his power, 
114:130,27['  ]| seemed to$9$ make$1$ allies unnecessary; and independent of 
114:130,28['  ]| this great irreconcileable difference, they wanted a piece 
114:130,29['  ]| containing very few characters in$4$ the whole$0$, but every 
114:130,30['  ]| character first-rate, and three principal$2$ women. All the 
114:130,31['  ]| best plays$0$ were run$1$ over in$4$ vain. Neither Hamlet, nor 
114:131,01['  ]| Macbeth, nor Othello, nor Douglas, nor the Gamester, 
114:131,02['  ]| presented any*thing that$6#1$ could satisfy even$5$ the tragedians; 
114:131,03['  ]| and the Rivals, the School*for*Scandal, Wheel*of*Fortune, 
114:131,04['  ]| Heir*at*Law, and a long etcetera, were successively dismissed 
114:131,05['  ]| with yet warmer objections. No$2$ piece could be 
114:131,06['  ]| proposed that$6#1$ did not supply$1$ somebody with a difficulty, 
114:131,07['  ]| and on$4$ one side$0$ or the other it was a continual repetition 
114:131,08['  ]| of, 
114:131,08[X  ]| "Oh! no$7$, \that$6#2$\ will$1$ never do. Let us have no$2$ ranting 
114:131,09[X  ]| tragedies. Too$5#1$ many characters ~~ Not a tolerable woman's 
114:131,10[X  ]| part$0$ in$4$ the play$0$ ~~ Any*thing but \that$6#2$\, my dear$2#1$ $MP#G$Tom. It 
114:131,11[X  ]| would be impossible to$9$ fill it up$5$ ~~ One could not expect 
114:131,12[X  ]| any*body to$9$ take such a part$0$ ~~ Nothing but buffoonery 
114:131,13[X  ]| from beginning to$4$ end$0$. \That$6#2$\ might do, perhaps, but for$4$ 
114:131,14[X  ]| the low parts ~~ If I \must\ give my opinion, I have always 
114:131,15[X  ]| thought$1$ it the most insipid play$0$ in$4$ the English language ~~ 
114:131,16[X  ]| \I\ do not wish$1$ to$9$ make$1$ objections, I shall be happy to$9$ be 
114:131,17[X  ]| of any use$0$, but I think we could not choose worse." 
114:131,18['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny looked on$5$ and listened, not unamused to$9$ observe 
114:131,19['  ]| the selfishness which$6#1$, more or less disguised, seemed 
114:131,20['  ]| to$9$ govern them all, and wondering how it would end$1$. 
114:131,21['  ]| For$4$ her own$2$ gratification 
114:131,21@a   | she could have wished that$3$ 
114:131,22@a   | something might be acted, for$3$ she had never seen even$5$ 
114:131,23@a   | half a play$0$, but every*thing of higher consequence was 
114:131,24@a   | against it. 
114:131,25[G  ]| "This will$1$ never do," 
114:131,25['  ]| said $MP#G$Tom*Bertram at last$0$. 
114:131,25[G  ]| "We 
114:131,26[G  ]| are wasting time most abominably. Something must be 
114:131,27[G  ]| fixed on$5$. No$2$ matter what, so$3$ that$3$ something is chosen. 
114:131,28[G  ]| We must not be so$5#1$ nice. A few characters too$5#1$ many, 
114:131,29[G  ]| must not frighten us. We must \double$1$\ them. We must 
114:131,30[G  ]| descend a little. If a part$0$ is insignificant, the greater our 
114:131,31[G  ]| credit$0$ in$4$ making any*thing of it. From this moment 
114:131,32[G  ]| \I\ make$1$ no$2$ difficulties. I take any part$0$ you choose to$9$ 
114:131,33[G  ]| give me, so$3$ as it be comic. Let it but be comic, I condition$1$ 
114:131,34[G  ]| for$4$ nothing more." 
114:131,35['  ]| For$4$ about$4$ the fifth time he then proposed the Heir*at*Law, 
114:131,36['  ]| doubting only whether to$9$ prefer $MP#Z2$Lord*Duberley or 
114:131,37['  ]| $MP#Z2$Dr%*Pangloss for$4$ himself, and very earnestly, but very 
114:131,38['  ]| unsuccessfully, trying$1$ to$9$ persuade the others that$3$ there 
114:132,01['  ]| were some fine tragic parts in$4$ the rest$0#1$ of the Dramatis*persona*e. 
114:132,02['  ]| The pause$0$ which$6#1$ followed this fruitless effort was ended 
114:132,03['  ]| by$4$ the same speaker, who$6#1$ taking up$5$ one of the many 
114:132,04['  ]| volumes of plays$0$ that$6#1$ lay$1#2$ on$4$ the table, and turning it over, 
114:132,05['  ]| suddenly exclaimed, 
114:132,06[G  ]| "Lovers'*Vows! And why should 
114:132,07[G  ]| not Lovers'*Vows do for$4$ \us\ as well$5$ as for$4$ the $MP#ZZD$Ravenshaws? 
114:132,08[G  ]| How came it never to$9$ be thought$1$ of before$5$? It strikes 
114:132,09[G  ]| me as if it would do exactly. What say you all? ~~ Here 
114:132,10[G  ]| are two capital tragic parts for$4$ $MP#R$Yates and $MP#D$Crawford, and 
114:132,11[G  ]| here is the rhyming butler for$4$ me ~~ if nobody else wants$1$ it 
114:132,12[G  ]| ~~ a trifling part$0$, but the sort of thing I should not dislike$1$, 
114:132,13[G  ]| and as I said before$5$, I am determined to$9$ take any*thing 
114:132,14[G  ]| and do my best. And as for$4$ the rest$0#1$, they may$1$ be filled 
114:132,15[G  ]| up$5$ by$4$ any*body. It is only $MP#ZZN$Count*Cassel and $MP#ZZO$Anhalt." 
114:132,16['  ]| The suggestion was generally welcome$2$. Every*body 
114:132,17['  ]| was growing weary of indecision, and the first idea with 
114:132,18['  ]| every*body was, that$3$ nothing had been proposed before$5$ 
114:132,19['  ]| so$5#1$ likely to$9$ suit$1$ them all. $MP#R$Mr%*Yates was particularly 
114:132,20['  ]| pleased; he had been sighing and longing to$9$ do the $MP#ZZM$Baron 
114:132,21['  ]| at Ecclesford, had grudged every rant$0$ of $MP#ZZD$Lord*Ravenshaw's, 
114:132,22['  ]| and been forced to$9$ re-rant it all in$4$ his own$2$ room. 
114:132,23['  ]| To$9$ storm$1$ through$4$ $MP#ZZM$Baron*Wildenhaim was the height of 
114:132,24['  ]| his theatrical ambition, and with the advantage of knowing 
114:132,25['  ]| half the scenes by$4$ heart already, he did now with the 
114:132,26['  ]| greatest alacrity offer$1$ his services for$4$ the part$0$. To$9$ do 
114:132,27['  ]| him justice, however, he did not resolve$1$ to$9$ appropriate 
114:132,28['  ]| it ~~ for$3$ remembering that$3$ there was some very good 
114:132,29['  ]| ranting ground in$4$ $MP#ZZP$Frederick, he professed an equal$2$ willingness 
114:132,30['  ]| for$4$ that$6#2$. $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was ready to$9$ take either. 
114:132,31['  ]| Whichever $MP#R$Mr%*Yates did not choose, would perfectly 
114:132,32['  ]| satisfy him, and a short parley of compliment$0$ ensued. 
114:132,33['  ]| $MP#H$Miss*Bertram feeling all the interest$0$ of an $MP#ZZU$Agatha in$4$ the 
114:132,34['  ]| question$0$, took on$4$ her to$9$ decide it, by$4$ observing to$4$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, 
114:132,35['  ]| that$3$ 
114:132,35@h   | this was a point$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ height and figure 
114:132,36@h   | ought to$9$ be considered, and that$3$ \his\ being$1$ the tallest, 
114:132,37@h   | seemed to$9$ fit$1$ him peculiarly for$4$ the $MP#ZZM$Baron. 
114:132,37['  ]| She was 
114:132,38['  ]| acknowledged to$9$ be quite right$2#1$, and the two parts being$1$ 
114:133,01['  ]| accepted accordingly, she was certain of the proper 
114:133,02['  ]| $MP#ZZP$Frederick. Three of the characters were now cast, besides 
114:133,03['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, who$6#1$ was always answered for$5$ by$4$ $MP#H$Maria 
114:133,04['  ]| as willing to$9$ do any*thing; when $MP#I$Julia, meaning like$4$ her 
114:133,05['  ]| sister to$9$ be $MP#ZZU$Agatha, began to$9$ be scrupulous on$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
114:133,06['  ]| account$0$. 
114:133,07[I  ]| "This is not behaving well$5$ by$4$ the absent," 
114:133,07['  ]| said she. 
114:133,08[I  ]| "Here are not women enough. $MP#ZZT$Amelia and $MP#ZZU$Agatha may$1$ 
114:133,09[I  ]| do for$4$ $MP#H$Maria and me, but here is nothing for$4$ your sister, 
114:133,10[I  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford." 
114:133,11['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford desired \that$6#2$\ might not be thought$1$ of; 
114:133,11@d   | he 
114:133,12@d   | was very sure his sister had no$2$ wish$0$ of acting, but as she 
114:133,13@d   | might be useful, and that$3$ she would not allow herself to$9$ 
114:133,14@d   | be considered in$4$ the present$2$ case. 
114:133,14['  ]| But this was immediately 
114:133,15['  ]| opposed by$4$ $MP#G$Tom*Bertram, who$6#1$ asserted the part$0$ 
114:133,16['  ]| of $MP#ZZT$Amelia to$9$ be in$4$ every respect$0$ the property of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
114:133,17['  ]| if she would accept it. 
114:133,17[G  ]| "It falls as naturally, 
114:133,18[G  ]| as necessarily to$4$ her," 
114:133,18['  ]| said he, 
114:133,18[G  ]| "as $MP#ZZU$Agatha does to$4$ one 
114:133,19[G  ]| or other of my sisters. It can be no$2$ sacrifice$0$ on$4$ their side$0$, 
114:133,20[G  ]| for$3$ it is highly comic." 
114:133,21['  ]| A short silence$0$ followed. Each sister looked anxious; 
114:133,22['  ]| for$3$ each felt the best claim$0$ to$4$ $MP#ZZU$Agatha, and was hoping to$9$ 
114:133,23['  ]| have it pressed on$4$ her by$4$ the rest$0#1$. $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, 
114:133,24['  ]| who$6#1$ meanwhile had taken up$5$ the play$0$, and with seeming 
114:133,25['  ]| carelessness was turning over the first act$0$, soon settled 
114:133,26['  ]| the business. 
114:133,26[D  ]| "I must entreat $MP#I$Miss*\Julia\*Bertram," 
114:133,27['  ]| said he, 
114:133,27[D  ]| "not to$9$ engage in$4$ the part$0$ of $MP#ZZU$Agatha, or it will$1$ 
114:133,28[D  ]| be the ruin$0$ of all my solemnity. You must not, indeed 
114:133,29[D  ]| you must not ~~ 
114:133,29['  ]| (turning to$4$ her.) 
114:133,29[D  ]| I could not stand$1$ your 
114:133,30[D  ]| countenance dressed up$5$ in$4$ woe and paleness. The many 
114:133,31[D  ]| laughs we have had together would infallibly come across$4$ 
114:133,32[D  ]| me, and $MP#ZZP$Frederick and his knapsack would be obliged to$9$ 
114:133,33[D  ]| run$1$ away." 
114:133,34['  ]| Pleasantly, courteously it was spoken; but the manner 
114:133,35['  ]| was lost in$4$ the matter to$4$ $MP#I$Julia's feelings. 
114:133,35@i   | She saw a 
114:133,36@i   | glance$0$ at $MP#H$Maria, which$6#1$ confirmed the injury to$4$ herself; 
114:133,37@i   | it was a scheme$0$ ~~ a trick$0$; she was slighted, $MP#H$Maria was 
114:133,38@i   | preferred; the smile$0$ of triumph$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#H$Maria was trying$1$ 
114:134,01@i   | to$9$ suppress shewed how well$5$ it was understood, 
114:134,01['  ]| and before$3$ 
114:134,02['  ]| $MP#I$Julia could command$1$ herself enough to$9$ speak, her brother 
114:134,03['  ]| gave his weight against her too$5#2$, by$4$ saying, 
114:134,03[G  ]| "Oh! yes, 
114:134,04[G  ]| $MP#H$Maria must be $MP#ZZU$Agatha. $MP#H$Maria will$1$ be the best $MP#ZZU$Agatha. 
114:134,05[G  ]| Though $MP#I$Julia fancies$1$ she prefers tragedy, I would not 
114:134,06[G  ]| trust$1$ her in$4$ it. There is nothing of tragedy about$4$ her. 
114:134,07[G  ]| She has not the look$0$ of it. Her features are not tragic 
114:134,08[G  ]| features, and she walks$1$ too$5#1$ quick$2$, and speaks too$5#1$ quick$2$, 
114:134,09[G  ]| and would not keep her countenance. She had better 
114:134,10[G  ]| do the old countrywoman; the $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife; you had, 
114:134,11[G  ]| indeed, $MP#I$Julia. $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife is a very pretty$2$ part$0$ I 
114:134,12[G  ]| assure you. The old lady relieves the high-flown benevolence 
114:134,13[G  ]| of her husband with a good deal$0$ of spirit. You 
114:134,14[G  ]| shall be $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife." 
114:134,15[R  ]| "$MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife!" 
114:134,15['  ]| cried $MP#R$Mr%*Yates. 
114:134,15[R  ]| "What are you 
114:134,16[R  ]| talking of? The most trivial, paltry, insignificant part$0$; 
114:134,17[R  ]| the merest common-place ~~ not a tolerable speech in$4$ the 
114:134,18[R  ]| whole$0$. Your sister do that$6#2$! It is an insult to$9$ propose 
114:134,19[R  ]| it. At Ecclesford the governess was to$9$ have done it. 
114:134,20[R  ]| We all agreed that$3$ it could not be offered to$4$ any*body 
114:134,21[R  ]| else. A little more justice, $MP#G$Mr%*Manager, if you please. 
114:134,22[R  ]| You do not deserve the office, if you cannot appreciate 
114:134,23[R  ]| the talents of your company a little better." 
114:134,24[G  ]| "Why as to$4$ \that$6#2$\, my good friend, till I and my company 
114:134,25[G  ]| have really acted there must be some guess-work; 
114:134,26[G  ]| but I mean$1$ no$2$ disparagement to$4$ $MP#I$Julia. We cannot have 
114:134,27[G  ]| two $MP#ZZU$Agathas, and we must have one $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife; and 
114:134,28[G  ]| I am sure I set$1$ her the example of moderation myself in$4$ 
114:134,29[G  ]| being$1$ satisfied with the old $MP#ZZQ$Butler. If the part$0$ is trifling 
114:134,30[G  ]| she will$1$ have more credit$0$ in$4$ making something of it; and 
114:134,31[G  ]| if she is so$5#1$ desperately bent against every*thing humorous, 
114:134,32[G  ]| let her take $MP#ZZS$Cottager's speeches instead of 
114:134,32[G  ]| $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife's, 
114:134,33[G  ]| and so$3$ change$1$ the parts all through$5$; \he\ is solemn 
114:134,34[G  ]| and pathetic enough I am sure. It could make$1$ no$2$ difference 
114:134,35[G  ]| in$4$ the play$0$; and as for$4$ $MP#ZZS$Cottager himself, when he 
114:134,36[G  ]| has got his wife's speeches, \I\ would undertake him with 
114:134,37[G  ]| all my heart." 
114:134,38[D  ]| "With all your partiality for$4$ $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife," 
114:134,38['  ]| said 
114:135,01['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, 
114:135,01[D  ]| "it will$1$ be impossible to$9$ make$1$ any*thing 
114:135,02[D  ]| of it fit$2$ for$4$ your sister, and we must not suffer her 
114:135,03[D  ]| good*nature to$9$ be imposed on$5$. We must not \allow\ her 
114:135,04[D  ]| to$9$ accept the part$0$. She must not be left to$4$ her own$2$ 
114:135,05[D  ]| complaisance. Her talents will$1$ be wanted in$4$ $MP#ZZT$Amelia. 
114:135,06[D  ]| $MP#ZZT$Amelia is a character more difficult to$9$ be well$5$ represented 
114:135,07[D  ]| than even$5$ $MP#ZZU$Agatha. I consider $MP#ZZT$Amelia as the most difficult 
114:135,08[D  ]| character in$4$ the whole$2$ piece. It requires great 
114:135,09[D  ]| powers, great nicety, to$9$ give her playfulness and simplicity 
114:135,10[D  ]| without extravagance. I have seen good actresses 
114:135,11[D  ]| fail in$4$ the part$0$. Simplicity, indeed, is beyond$4$ the reach$0$ 
114:135,12[D  ]| of almost every actress by$4$ profession$0#2$. It requires a 
114:135,13[D  ]| delicacy of feeling which$6#1$ they have not. It requires 
114:135,14[D  ]| a gentlewoman ~~ a $MP#I$Julia*Bertram. You \will$1$\ undertake 
114:135,15[D  ]| it I hope$1$?" 
114:135,15['  ]| turning to$4$ her with a look$0$ of anxious entreaty, 
114:135,16['  ]| which$6#1$ softened her a little; but while$3$ she hesitated what 
114:135,17['  ]| to$9$ say, her brother again interposed with $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
114:135,18['  ]| better claim$0$." 
114:135,19[G  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, $MP#I$Julia must not be $MP#ZZT$Amelia. It is not at all the 
114:135,20[G  ]| part$0$ for$4$ her. She would not like$1$ it. She would not do 
114:135,21[G  ]| well$5$. She is too$5#1$ tall and robust. $MP#ZZT$Amelia should be 
114:135,22[G  ]| a small, light$2$, girlish, skipping figure. It is fit$2$ for$4$ 
114:135,22[G  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
114:135,23[G  ]| and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford only. She looks$1$ the part$0$, 
114:135,24[G  ]| and I am persuaded will$1$ do it admirably." 
114:135,25['  ]| Without attending to$4$ this, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford continued 
114:135,26['  ]| his supplication. 
114:135,26[D  ]| "You must oblige us," 
114:135,26['  ]| said he, 
114:135,26[D  ]| "indeed 
114:135,27[D  ]| you must. When you have studied the character, 
114:135,28[D  ]| I am sure you will$1$ feel it suit$1$ you. Tragedy may$1$ be your 
114:135,29[D  ]| choice$0$, but it will$1$ certainly appear that$3$ comedy chooses 
114:135,30[D  ]| \you\. You will$1$ be to$9$ visit$1$ me in$4$ prison with a basket of 
114:135,31[D  ]| provisions; you will$1$ not refuse to$9$ visit$1$ me in$4$ prison? 
114:135,32[D  ]| I think I see you coming in$5$ with your basket." 
114:135,33['  ]| The influence$0$ of his voice was felt. $MP#I$Julia wavered: 
114:135,34@i   | but was he only trying$1$ to$9$ soothe and pacify her, and make$1$ 
114:135,35@i   | her overlook the previous affront? She distrusted him. 
114:135,36@i   | The slight$0$ had been most determined. He was, perhaps, 
114:135,37@i   | but at treacherous play$0$ with her. She looked suspiciously 
114:135,38@i   | at her sister; $MP#H$Maria's countenance was to$9$ decide 
114:136,01@i   | it; if she were vexed and alarmed ~~ but $MP#H$Maria looked all 
114:136,02@i   | serenity and satisfaction, and $MP#I$Julia well$5$ knew that$3$ on$4$ this 
114:136,03@i   | ground $MP#H$Maria could not be happy but at her expense. 
114:136,04['  ]| With hasty indignation therefore, and a tremulous voice, 
114:136,05['  ]| she said to$4$ him, 
114:136,05[I  ]| "You do not seem afraid of not keeping 
114:136,06[I  ]| your countenance when I come in$5$ with a basket of provisions ~~ 
114:136,07[I  ]| though one might have supposed ~~ but it is only 
114:136,08[I  ]| as $MP#ZZU$Agatha that$3$ I was to$9$ be so$5#1$ overpowering!" ~~ 
114:136,08['  ]| She 
114:136,09['  ]| stopped ~~ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford looked rather foolish, and as 
114:136,10['  ]| if he did not know what to$9$ say. $MP#G$Tom*Bertram began 
114:136,11['  ]| again, 
114:136,12[G  ]| "$MP#C$Miss*Crawford must be $MP#ZZT$Amelia. ~~ She will$1$ be an 
114:136,13[G  ]| excellent $MP#ZZT$Amelia." 
114:136,14[I  ]| "Do not be afraid of \my\ wanting the character," 
114:136,14['  ]| cried 
114:136,15['  ]| $MP#I$Julia with angry quickness; ~~ 
114:136,15[I  ]| "I am \not\ to$9$ be $MP#ZZU$Agatha, 
114:136,16[I  ]| and I am sure I will$1$ do nothing else; and as to$4$ $MP#ZZT$Amelia, 
114:136,17[I  ]| it is of all parts in$4$ the world the most disgusting to$4$ me. 
114:136,18[I  ]| I quite detest her. An odious, little, pert, unnatural, 
114:136,19[I  ]| impudent girl. I have always protested against comedy, 
114:136,20[I  ]| and this is comedy in$4$ its worst form$0$." 
114:136,20['  ]| And so$5#2$ saying, 
114:136,21['  ]| she walked hastily out$5$ of the room, leaving awkward feelings 
114:136,22['  ]| to$4$ more than one, but exciting small compassion in$4$ 
114:136,23['  ]| any except $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ had been a quiet$2$ auditor of the 
114:136,24['  ]| whole$0$, and who$6#1$ could not think of her as under the agitations 
114:136,25['  ]| of \jealousy\, without great pity$0$. 
114:136,26['  ]| A short silence$0$ succeeded her leaving them; but her 
114:136,27['  ]| brother soon returned to$4$ business and Lovers'*Vows, and 
114:136,28['  ]| was eagerly looking over the play$0$, with $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's help$0$, 
114:136,29['  ]| to$9$ ascertain what scenery would be necessary ~~ while$3$ 
114:136,30['  ]| $MP#H$Maria and $MP#D$Henry*Crawford conversed together in$4$ an under 
114:136,31['  ]| voice, and the declaration with which$6#1$ she began of, 
114:136,31[H  ]| "I 
114:136,32[H  ]| am sure I would give up$5$ the part$0$ to$4$ $MP#I$Julia most willingly, 
114:136,33[H  ]| but that$3$ though I shall probably do it very ill, I feel persuaded 
114:136,34[H  ]| \she\ would do it worse," 
114:136,34['  ]| was doubtless receiving 
114:136,35['  ]| all the compliments it called for$4$. 
114:136,36['  ]| When this had lasted some time, the division of the 
114:136,37['  ]| party was completed by$4$ $MP#G$Tom*Bertram and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates 
114:136,38['  ]| walking off together to$9$ consult farther in$4$ the room now 
114:137,01['  ]| beginning to$9$ be called \the\ \Theatre\, and $MP#H$Miss*Bertram's 
114:137,02['  ]| resolving to$9$ go down$5$ to$4$ the Parsonage herself with the 
114:137,03['  ]| offer$0$ of $MP#ZZT$Amelia to$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; and $MP#A$Fanny remained 
114:137,04['  ]| alone. 
114:137,05['  ]| The first use$0$ she made of her solitude was to$9$ take up$5$ 
114:137,06['  ]| the volume which$6#1$ had been left on$4$ the table, and begin 
114:137,07['  ]| to$9$ acquaint herself with the play$0$ of which$6#1$ she had heard so$5#1$ 
114:137,08['  ]| much. Her curiosity was all awake$2$, and she ran through$4$ 
114:137,09['  ]| it with an eagerness which$6#1$ was suspended only by$4$ intervals 
114:137,10['  ]| of astonishment, 
114:137,10@a   | that$3$ it could be chosen in$4$ the present$2$ 
114:137,11@a   | instance$0$ ~~ that$3$ it could be proposed and accepted in$4$ a 
114:137,12@a   | private$2$ Theatre! $MP#ZZU$Agatha and $MP#ZZT$Amelia appeared to$4$ her 
114:137,13@a   | in$4$ their different ways so$5#1$ totally improper for$4$ home representation ~~ 
114:137,14@a   | the situation of one, and the language of the 
114:137,15@a   | other, so$5#1$ unfit to$9$ be expressed by$4$ any woman of modesty, 
114:137,16@a   | that$3$ she could hardly suppose her cousins could be aware 
114:137,17@a   | of what they were engaging in$4$; and longed to$9$ have them 
114:137,18@a   | roused as soon as possible by$4$ the remonstrance which$6#1$ 
114:137,19@a   | $MP#B$Edmund would certainly make$1$. 
115:138,01['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford accepted the part$0$ very readily, and 
115:138,02['  ]| soon after$4$ $MP#H$Miss*Bertram's return$0$ from the Parsonage, 
115:138,03['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth arrived, and another character was consequently 
115:138,04['  ]| cast. He had the offer$0$ of $MP#ZZN$Count*Cassel and 
115:138,05['  ]| $MP#ZZO$Anhalt, and at first did not know which$6#1$ to$9$ choose, and 
115:138,06['  ]| wanted $MP#H$Miss*Bertram to$9$ direct$1$ him, but upon$4$ being$1$ made 
115:138,07['  ]| to$9$ understand the different style of the characters, and 
115:138,08['  ]| which$6#1$ was which$6#1$, and recollecting that$3$ he had once seen 
115:138,09['  ]| the play$0$ in$4$ London, and had thought$1$ $MP#ZZO$Anhalt a very 
115:138,10['  ]| stupid fellow, he soon decided for$4$ the $MP#ZZN$Count. $MP#H$Miss*Bertram 
115:138,11['  ]| approved the decision, for$3$ 
115:138,11@h   | the less he had to$9$ 
115:138,12@h   | learn the better; 
115:138,12['  ]| and though she could not sympathize 
115:138,13['  ]| in$4$ his wish$0$ that$3$ the $MP#ZZN$Count and $MP#ZZU$Agatha might be to$9$ act$1$ 
115:138,14['  ]| together, nor wait very patiently while$3$ he was slowly 
115:138,15['  ]| turning over the leaves$0$ with the hope$0$ of still$5$ discovering 
115:138,16['  ]| such a scene, she very kindly took his part$0$ in$4$ hand$0$, and 
115:138,17['  ]| curtailed every speech that$6#1$ admitted being$1$ shortened; ~~ 
115:138,18['  ]| besides pointing out$5$ the necessity of his being$1$ very much 
115:138,19['  ]| dressed, and choosing his colours. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth liked 
115:138,20['  ]| the idea of his finery very well$5$, though affecting to$9$ 
115:138,21['  ]| despise it, and was too$5#1$ much engaged with what his own$2$ 
115:138,22['  ]| appearance would be, to$9$ think of the others, or draw 
115:138,23['  ]| any of those conclusions, or feel any of that$6#2$ displeasure, 
115:138,24['  ]| which$6#1$ $MP#H$Maria had been half prepared for$4$. 
115:138,25['  ]| Thus much was settled before$3$ $MP#B$Edmund, who$6#1$ had been 
115:138,26['  ]| out$5$ all the morning, knew any*thing of the matter; but 
115:138,27['  ]| when he entered the drawing-room before$4$ dinner, the 
115:138,28['  ]| buz of discussion was high between $MP#G$Tom, $MP#H$Maria, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates; 
115:138,29['  ]| and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth stepped forward$5$ with great 
115:138,30['  ]| alacrity to$9$ tell him the agreeable news. 
115:138,31[K  ]| "We have got a play$0$," 
115:138,31['  ]| said he. ~~ 
115:138,31[K  ]| "It is to$9$ be Lovers'*Vows; 
115:138,32[K  ]| and I am to$9$ be $MP#ZZN$Count*Cassel, and am to$9$ come 
115:138,33[K  ]| in$5$ first with a blue dress$0$, and a pink satin cloak, and 
115:139,01[K  ]| afterwards am to$9$ have another fine fancy$2$ suit$0$ by$4$ way 
115:139,02[K  ]| of a shooting dress$0$. ~~ I do not know how I shall like$1$ it." 
115:139,03['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's eyes followed $MP#B$Edmund, and her heart beat for$4$ 
115:139,04['  ]| him as she heard this speech, and saw his look$0$, and felt 
115:139,05['  ]| what his sensations must be. 
115:139,06[B  ]| "Lovers'*Vows!" ~~ 
115:139,06['  ]| in$4$ a tone of the greatest amazement, 
115:139,07['  ]| was his only reply$0$ to$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth; and he 
115:139,08['  ]| turned towards his brother and sisters as if hardly doubting 
115:139,09['  ]| a contradiction. 
115:139,10[R  ]| "Yes," 
115:139,10['  ]| cried $MP#R$Mr%*Yates. ~~ 
115:139,10[R  ]| "After$4$ all our debatings 
115:139,11[R  ]| and difficulties, we find there is nothing that$6#1$ will$1$ suit$1$ us 
115:139,12[R  ]| altogether so$5#1$ well$5$, nothing so$5#1$ unexceptionable, as Lovers'*Vows. 
115:139,13[R  ]| The wonder$0$ is that$3$ it should not have been 
115:139,14[R  ]| thought$1$ of before$5$. My stupidity was abominable, for$3$ 
115:139,15[R  ]| here we have all the advantage of what I saw at Ecclesford; 
115:139,16[R  ]| and it is so$5#1$ useful to$9$ have any*thing of a model! ~~ 
115:139,17[R  ]| We have cast almost every part$0$." 
115:139,18[B  ]| "But what do you do for$4$ women?" 
115:139,18['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund 
115:139,19['  ]| gravely, and looking at $MP#H$Maria. 
115:139,20['  ]| $MP#H$Maria blushed in$4$ spite$8$ of herself as she answered, 
115:139,21[H  ]| "I take the part$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#ZZD$Lady*Ravenshaw was to$9$ have 
115:139,22[H  ]| done, and 
115:139,22['  ]| (with a bolder eye) 
115:139,22[H  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford is to$9$ be 
115:139,23[H  ]| $MP#ZZT$Amelia." 
115:139,24[B  ]| "I should not have thought$1$ it the sort of play$0$ to$9$ be so$5#1$ 
115:139,25[B  ]| easily filled up$5$, with \us\," 
115:139,25['  ]| replied $MP#B$Edmund, turning away 
115:139,26['  ]| to$4$ the fire$0$ where sat his mother, aunt, and $MP#A$Fanny, and 
115:139,27['  ]| seating himself with a look$0$ of great vexation. 
115:139,28['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth followed him to$9$ say, 
115:139,28[K  ]| "I come in$5$ three 
115:139,29[K  ]| times, and have two*and*forty speeches. That's something, 
115:139,30[K  ]| is not it? ~~ But I do not much like$1$ the idea of 
115:139,31[K  ]| being$1$ so$5#1$ fine. ~~ I shall hardly know myself in$4$ a blue dress$0$, 
115:139,32[K  ]| and a pink satin cloak." 
115:139,33['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund could not answer$1$ him. ~~ In$4$ a few minutes 
115:139,34['  ]| $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram was called out$5$ of the room to$9$ satisfy some 
115:139,35['  ]| doubts$0$ of the carpenter, and being$1$ accompanied by$4$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, 
115:139,36['  ]| and followed soon afterwards by$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
115:139,37['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund almost immediately took the opportunity of 
115:139,38['  ]| saying, 
115:139,38[B  ]| "I cannot before$4$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates speak what I feel 
115:140,01[B  ]| as to$4$ this play$0$, without reflecting on$4$ his friends at Ecclesford ~~ 
115:140,02[B  ]| but I must now, my dear$2#1$ $MP#H$Maria, tell \you\, that$3$ 
115:140,03[B  ]| I think it exceedingly unfit for$4$ private$2$ representation, 
115:140,04[B  ]| and that$3$ I hope$1$ you will$1$ give it up$5$. ~~ I cannot but suppose 
115:140,05[B  ]| you \will$1$\ when you have read it carefully over. ~~ Read 
115:140,06[B  ]| only the first Act$0$ aloud, to$4$ either your mother or aunt, 
115:140,07[B  ]| and see how you can approve it. ~~ It will$1$ not be necessary 
115:140,08[B  ]| to$9$ send you to$4$ your \father's\ judgment, I am convinced." 
115:140,09[H  ]| "We see things very differently," 
115:140,09['  ]| cried $MP#H$Maria ~~ 
115:140,09[H  ]| "I am 
115:140,10[H  ]| perfectly acquainted with the play$0$, I assure you ~~ and 
115:140,11[H  ]| with a very few omissions, and so$5#2$ forth, which$6#1$ will$1$ be 
115:140,12[H  ]| made, of course$8$, I can see nothing objectionable in$4$ it; 
115:140,13[H  ]| and \I\ am not the \only\ young woman you find, who$6#1$ thinks 
115:140,14[H  ]| it very fit$2$ for$4$ private$2$ representation." 
115:140,15[B  ]| "I am sorry for$4$ it," 
115:140,15['  ]| was his answer$0$ ~~ 
115:140,15[B  ]| "But in$4$ this 
115:140,16[B  ]| matter it is \you\ who$6#1$ are to$9$ lead$1$. \You\ must set$1$ the 
115:140,17[B  ]| example. ~~ If others have blundered, it is your place$0$ to$9$ 
115:140,18[B  ]| put them right$2#1$, and shew$1$ them what true delicacy is. ~~ 
115:140,19[B  ]| In$4$ all points of decorum, \your\ conduct$0$ must be law to$4$ the 
115:140,20[B  ]| rest$0#1$ of the party." 
115:140,21['  ]| This picture$0$ of her consequence had some effect$0$, for$3$ 
115:140,22['  ]| no*one loved better to$9$ lead$1$ than $MP#H$Maria; ~~ and with far 
115:140,23['  ]| more good*humour she answered, 
115:140,23[H  ]| "I am much obliged 
115:140,24[H  ]| to$4$ you, $MP#B$Edmund; ~~ you mean$1$ very well$5$, I am sure ~~ 
115:140,25[H  ]| but I still$5$ think you see things too$5#1$ strongly; and I really 
115:140,26[H  ]| cannot undertake to$9$ harangue$1$ all the rest$0#1$ upon$4$ a subject$0$ 
115:140,27[H  ]| of this kind$0$. ~~ \There\ would be the greatest indecorum 
115:140,28[H  ]| I think." 
115:140,29[B  ]| "Do you imagine that$3$ I could have such an idea in$4$ 
115:140,30[B  ]| my head$0$? No$7$ ~~ let your conduct$0$ be the only harangue$0$. ~~ 
115:140,31[B  ]| Say that$3$, on$4$ examining the part$0$, you feel yourself unequal 
115:140,32[B  ]| to$4$ it, that$3$ you find it requiring more exertion and confidence 
115:140,33[B  ]| than you can be supposed to$9$ have. ~~ Say this 
115:140,34[B  ]| with firmness, and it will$1$ be quite enough. ~~ All who$6#1$ can 
115:140,35[B  ]| distinguish, will$1$ understand your motive. ~~ The play$0$ will$1$ 
115:140,36[B  ]| be given up$5$, and your delicacy honoured as it ought." 
115:140,37[F  ]| "Do not act$1$ any*thing improper, my dear$2#1$," 
115:140,37['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram. 
115:140,38[F  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas would not like$1$ it. ~~ $MP#A$Fanny, ring$1$ 
115:141,01[F  ]| the bell; I must have my dinner. ~~ To$9$ be sure $MP#I$Julia is 
115:141,02[F  ]| dressed by$4$ this time." 
115:141,03[B  ]| "I am convinced, madam," 
115:141,03['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, preventing 
115:141,04['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, 
115:141,04[B  ]| "that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas would not like$1$ it." 
115:141,05[F  ]| "There, my dear$2#1$, do you hear what $MP#B$Edmund says?" 
115:141,06[H  ]| "If I were to$9$ decline the part$0$," 
115:141,06['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria with renewed 
115:141,07['  ]| zeal, 
115:141,07[H  ]| "$MP#I$Julia would certainly take it." 
115:141,08[B  ]| "What!" ~~ 
115:141,08['  ]| cried $MP#B$Edmund, 
115:141,08[B  ]| "if she knew your 
115:141,09[B  ]| reasons!" 
115:141,10[H  ]| "Oh! she might think the difference between us ~~ the 
115:141,11[H  ]| difference in$4$ our situations ~~ that$3$ \she\ need$1$ not be so$5#1$ 
115:141,12[H  ]| scrupulous as \I\ might feel necessary. I am sure she 
115:141,13[H  ]| would argue so$5#2$. No$7$, you must excuse$1$ me, I cannot 
115:141,14[H  ]| retract my consent$0$. It is too$5#1$ far settled; every*body 
115:141,15[H  ]| would be so$5#1$ disappointed. $MP#G$Tom would be quite angry; 
115:141,16[H  ]| and if we are so$5#1$ very nice, we shall never act$1$ any*thing." 
115:141,17[J  ]| "I was just$5$ going to$9$ say the very same thing," 
115:141,17['  ]| said 
115:141,18['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris. 
115:141,18[J  ]| "If every play$0$ is to$9$ be objected to$5$, you 
115:141,19[J  ]| will$1$ act$1$ nothing ~~ and the preparations will$1$ be all so$5#1$ much 
115:141,20[J  ]| money thrown away ~~ and I am sure \that$6#2$\ would be a discredit 
115:141,21[J  ]| to$4$ us all. I do not know the play$0$; but, as $MP#H$Maria 
115:141,22[J  ]| says, if there is any*thing a little too$5#1$ warm$2$ (and it is so$5#2$ 
115:141,23[J  ]| with most of them) it can be easily left out$5$. ~~ We must 
115:141,24[J  ]| not be over precise $MP#B$Edmund. As $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is to$9$ 
115:141,25[J  ]| act$1$ too$5#2$, there can be no$2$ harm$0$. ~~ I only wish$1$ $MP#G$Tom had 
115:141,26[J  ]| known his own$2$ mind$0$ when the carpenters began, for$3$ 
115:141,27[J  ]| there was the loss of half a day's work$0$ about$4$ those side-doors. ~~ 
115:141,28[J  ]| The curtain will$1$ be a good job, however. The 
115:141,29[J  ]| maids do their work$0$ very well$5$, and I think we shall be 
115:141,30[J  ]| able to$9$ send back$5$ some dozens of the rings. ~~ There is no$2$ 
115:141,31[J  ]| occasion$0$ to$9$ put them so$5#1$ very close$5$ together. I \am\ of 
115:141,32[J  ]| some use$0$ I hope$1$ in$4$ preventing waste$0$ and making the 
115:141,33[J  ]| most of things. There should always be one steady head$0$ 
115:141,34[J  ]| to$9$ superintend so$5#1$ many young ones. I forgot to$9$ tell 
115:141,35[J  ]| $MP#G$Tom of something that$6#1$ happened to$4$ me this very day. ~~ 
115:141,36[J  ]| I had been looking about$4$ me in$4$ the poultry yard, and 
115:141,37[J  ]| was just$5$ coming out$5$, when who$6#1$ should I see but $MP#ZO$Dick*Jackson 
115:141,38[J  ]| making up$5$ to$4$ the servants' hall door with two 
115:142,01[J  ]| bits of deal$2$ board in$4$ his hand$0$, bringing them to$4$ father, 
115:142,02[J  ]| you may$1$ be sure; mother had chanced to$9$ send him of 
115:142,03[J  ]| a message to$4$ father, and then father had bid him bring 
115:142,04[J  ]| up$5$ them two bits of board for$3$ he could not no*how do 
115:142,05[J  ]| without them. I knew what all this meant, for$3$ the 
115:142,06[J  ]| servants' dinner*bell was ringing at the very moment 
115:142,07[J  ]| over our heads, and as I hate such encroaching people, 
115:142,08[J  ]| (the $MP#ZO$Jacksons are very encroaching, I have always said 
115:142,09[J  ]| so$5#2$, ~~ just$5$ the sort of people to$9$ get all they can), I said to$4$ 
115:142,10[J  ]| the boy directly ~~ (a great lubberly fellow of ten years 
115:142,11[J  ]| old you know, who$6#1$ ought to$9$ be ashamed of himself,) 
115:142,12[J  ]| \I'll\ take the boards to$4$ your father, $MP#ZO$Dick; so$3$ get you 
115:142,13[J  ]| home again as fast as you can. ~~ The boy looked very 
115:142,14[J  ]| silly and turned away without offering a word, for$3$ I believe 
115:142,15[J  ]| I might speak pretty$5$ sharp; and I dare$1#2$ say it will$1$ 
115:142,16[J  ]| cure$1$ him of coming marauding about$4$ the house for$4$ one 
115:142,17[J  ]| while$0$, ~~ I hate such greediness ~~ so$5#1$ good as your father 
115:142,18[J  ]| is to$4$ the family, employing the man all the year round$5$!" 
115:142,19['  ]| Nobody was at the trouble$0$ of an answer$0$; the others 
115:142,20['  ]| soon returned, and $MP#B$Edmund found that$3$ to$9$ have endeavoured 
115:142,21['  ]| to$9$ set$1$ them right$2#1$ must be his only satisfaction. 
115:142,22['  ]| Dinner passed heavily. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris related again her 
115:142,23['  ]| triumph$0$ over $MP#ZO$Dick*Jackson, but neither play$0$ nor preparation 
115:142,24['  ]| were otherwise much talked of, for$3$ $MP#B$Edmund's 
115:142,25['  ]| disapprobation was felt even$5$ by$4$ his brother, though he 
115:142,26['  ]| would not have owned it. $MP#H$Maria, wanting $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's 
115:142,27['  ]| animating support$0$, thought$1$ the subject$0$ better 
115:142,28['  ]| avoided. $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, who$6#1$ was trying$1$ to$9$ make$1$ himself 
115:142,29['  ]| agreeable to$4$ $MP#I$Julia, found her gloom less impenetrable on$4$ 
115:142,30['  ]| any topic than that$6#2$ of his regret$0$ at her secession from 
115:142,31['  ]| their company, and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth having only his own$2$ 
115:142,32['  ]| part$0$, and his own$2$ dress$0$ in$4$ his head$0$, had soon talked away 
115:142,33['  ]| all that$6#1$ could be said of either. 
115:142,34['  ]| But the concerns$0$ of the theatre were suspended only 
115:142,35['  ]| for$4$ an hour or two; there was still$5$ a great deal$0$ to$9$ be 
115:142,36['  ]| settled; and the spirits of evening giving fresh courage, 
115:142,37['  ]| $MP#G$Tom, $MP#H$Maria, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, soon after$4$ their being$1$ 
115:142,37['  ]| reassembled 
115:142,38['  ]| in$4$ the drawing-room, seated themselves in$4$ 
115:143,01['  ]| committee at a separate$2$ table, with the play$0$ open$2$ before$4$ 
115:143,02['  ]| them, and were just$5$ getting deep in$4$ the subject$0$ when 
115:143,03['  ]| a most welcome$2$ interruption was given by$4$ the entrance 
115:143,04['  ]| of $MP#D$Mr% and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, who$6#1$, late and dark$2$ and 
115:143,04['  ]| dirty 
115:143,05['  ]| as it was, could not help$1$ coming, and were received with 
115:143,06['  ]| the most grateful joy. 
115:143,07[Y  ]| "Well$7$, how do you go on$5$?" 
115:143,07['  ]| and 
115:143,07[Y  ]| "What have you 
115:143,08[Y  ]| settled?" 
115:143,08['  ]| and 
115:143,08[X  ]| "Oh! we can do nothing without you," 
115:143,09['  ]| followed the first salutations; and $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was 
115:143,10['  ]| soon seated with the other three at the table, while$3$ his 
115:143,11['  ]| sister made her way to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, and with pleasant 
115:143,12['  ]| attention was complimenting \her\. 
115:143,12[C  ]| "I must really 
115:143,13[C  ]| congratulate your ladyship," 
115:143,13['  ]| said she, 
115:143,13[C  ]| "on$4$ the play$0$ 
115:143,14[C  ]| being$1$ chosen; for$3$ though you have borne it with exemplary 
115:143,15[C  ]| patience, I am sure you must be sick of all our 
115:143,16[C  ]| noise and difficulties. The actors may$1$ be glad, but the 
115:143,17[C  ]| by-standers must be infinitely more thankful for$4$ a decision; 
115:143,18[C  ]| and I do sincerely give you joy, madam, as well$5$ 
115:143,19[C  ]| as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, and every*body else who$6#1$ is in$4$ the same 
115:143,20[C  ]| predicament," 
115:143,20['  ]| glancing half fearfully, half slily, beyond$4$ 
115:143,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund. 
115:143,22['  ]| She was very civilly answered by$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, but 
115:143,23['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund said nothing. His being$1$ only a by-stander was 
115:143,24['  ]| not disclaimed. After$4$ continuing in$4$ chat$0$ with the party 
115:143,25['  ]| round$4$ the fire$0$ a few minutes, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford returned to$4$ 
115:143,26['  ]| the party round$4$ the table; and standing by$4$ them, seemed 
115:143,27['  ]| to$9$ interest$1$ herself in$4$ their arrangements till, as if struck 
115:143,28['  ]| by$4$ a sudden$2$ recollection, she exclaimed, 
115:143,28[C  ]| "My good 
115:143,29[C  ]| friends, you are most composedly at work$0$ upon$4$ these 
115:143,30[C  ]| cottages and ale-houses, inside$5$ and out$5$ ~~ but pray let me 
115:143,31[C  ]| know my fate in$4$ the meanwhile. Who$6#2$ is to$9$ be $MP#ZZO$Anhalt? 
115:143,32[C  ]| What gentleman among you am I to$9$ have the pleasure of 
115:143,33[C  ]| making love$0$ to$4$?" 
115:143,34['  ]| For$4$ a moment no*one spoke; and then many spoke 
115:143,35['  ]| together to$9$ tell the same melancholy$2$ truth ~~ that$3$ they 
115:143,36['  ]| had not yet got any $MP#ZZO$Anhalt. 
115:143,36[X  ]| "$MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was to$9$ 
115:143,37[X  ]| be $MP#ZZN$Count*Cassel, but no*one had yet undertaken $MP#ZZO$Anhalt." 
115:143,38[K  ]| "I had my choice$0$ of the parts," 
115:143,38['  ]| said $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth; 
115:144,01[K  ]| "but I thought$1$ I should like$1$ the $MP#ZZN$Count best ~~ though 
115:144,02[K  ]| I do not much relish$1$ the finery I am to$9$ have." 
115:144,03[C  ]| "You chose very wisely, I am sure," 
115:144,03['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
115:144,04['  ]| with a brightened look$0$. 
115:144,04[C  ]| "$MP#ZZO$Anhalt is a heavy 
115:144,05[C  ]| part$0$." 
115:144,06[K  ]| "\The\ \$MP#ZZN$Count\ has two*and*forty speeches," 
115:144,06['  ]| returned $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
115:144,07[K  ]| "which$6#1$ is no$2$ trifle$0$." 
115:144,08[C  ]| "I am not at all surprised," 
115:144,08['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, after$4$ 
115:144,09['  ]| a short pause$0$, 
115:144,09[C  ]| "at this want$0$ of an $MP#ZZO$Anhalt. $MP#ZZT$Amelia 
115:144,10[C  ]| deserves no$2$ better. Such a forward$2$ young lady may$1$ well$5$ 
115:144,11[C  ]| frighten the men." 
115:144,12[G  ]| "I should be but too$5#1$ happy in$4$ taking the part$0$ if it 
115:144,13[G  ]| were possible," 
115:144,13['  ]| cried $MP#G$Tom, 
115:144,13[G  ]| "but unluckily the $MP#ZZQ$Butler and 
115:144,14[G  ]| $MP#ZZO$Anhalt are in$5$ together. I will$1$ not entirely give it up$5$, 
115:144,15[G  ]| however ~~ I will$1$ try what can be done ~~ I will$1$ look$1$ it over 
115:144,16[G  ]| again." 
115:144,17[R  ]| "Your \brother\ should take the part$0$," 
115:144,17['  ]| said $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, 
115:144,18['  ]| in$4$ a low voice. 
115:144,18[R  ]| "Do not you think he would?" 
115:144,19[G  ]| "\I\ shall not ask him," 
115:144,19['  ]| replied $MP#G$Tom, in$4$ a cold$2$, determined 
115:144,20['  ]| manner. 
115:144,21['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford talked of something else, and soon 
115:144,22['  ]| afterwards rejoined the party at the fire$0$. 
115:144,22[C  ]| "They do not 
115:144,23[C  ]| want$1$ me at all," 
115:144,23['  ]| said she, seating herself. 
115:144,23[C  ]| "I only puzzle$1$ 
115:144,24[C  ]| them, and oblige them to$9$ make$1$ civil speeches. $MP#B$Mr%*Edmund*Bertram, 
115:144,25[C  ]| as you do not act$1$ yourself, you will$1$ 
115:144,26[C  ]| be a disinterested adviser; and, therefore, I apply to$4$ \you\. 
115:144,27[C  ]| What shall we do for$4$ an $MP#ZZO$Anhalt? Is it practicable for$4$ 
115:144,28[C  ]| any of the others to$9$ double$1$ it? What is your advice?" 
115:144,29[B  ]| "My advice," 
115:144,29['  ]| said he, calmly, 
115:144,29[B  ]| "is that$3$ you change$1$ 
115:144,30[B  ]| the play$0$." 
115:144,31[C  ]| "\I\ should have no$2$ objection," 
115:144,31['  ]| she replied; 
115:144,31[C  ]| "for$3$ 
115:144,32[C  ]| though I should not particularly dislike$1$ the part$0$ of 
115:144,33[C  ]| $MP#ZZT$Amelia if well$5$ supported ~~ that$6#2$ is, if every*thing went 
115:144,34[C  ]| well$5$ ~~ I shall be sorry to$9$ be an inconvenience ~~ but as 
115:144,35[C  ]| they do not choose to$9$ hear your advice at \that$6#2$\ \table\ ~~ 
115:144,36['  ]| (looking round$5$) ~~ 
115:144,36[C  ]| it certainly will$1$ not be taken." 
115:144,37['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund said no$2$ more. 
115:144,38[C  ]| "If \any\ part$0$ could tempt \you\ to$9$ act$1$, I suppose it 
115:145,01[C  ]| would be $MP#ZZO$Anhalt," 
115:145,01['  ]| observed the lady, archly, after$4$ a short 
115:145,02['  ]| pause$0$ ~~ 
115:145,02[C  ]| "for$3$ he is a clergyman you know." 
115:145,03[B  ]| "\That$6#2$\ circumstance would by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ tempt me," 
115:145,04['  ]| he replied, 
115:145,04[B  ]| "for$3$ I should be sorry to$9$ make$1$ the character 
115:145,05[B  ]| ridiculous by$4$ bad acting. It must be very difficult to$9$ 
115:145,06[B  ]| keep $MP#ZZO$Anhalt from appearing a formal, solemn lecturer; 
115:145,07[B  ]| and the man who$6#1$ chooses the profession$0#2$ itself, is, perhaps, 
115:145,08[B  ]| one of the last$0$ who$6#1$ would wish$1$ to$9$ represent it on$4$ the 
115:145,09[B  ]| stage$0#2$." 
115:145,10['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was silenced; and with some feelings 
115:145,11['  ]| of resentment and mortification, moved her chair considerably 
115:145,12['  ]| nearer the tea-table, and gave all her attention 
115:145,13['  ]| to$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ was presiding there. 
115:145,14[G  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny," 
115:145,14['  ]| cried $MP#G$Tom*Bertram, from the other table, 
115:145,15['  ]| where the conference was eagerly carrying on$5$, and the 
115:145,16['  ]| conversation incessant, 
115:145,16[G  ]| "we want$1$ your services." 
115:145,17['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was up$5$ in$4$ a moment, expecting some errand, 
115:145,18['  ]| for$3$ the habit of employing her in$4$ that$6#2$ way was not yet 
115:145,19['  ]| overcome, in$4$ spite$8$ of all that$6#1$ $MP#B$Edmund could do. 
115:145,20[G  ]| "Oh! we do not want$1$ to$9$ disturb you from your 
115:145,21[G  ]| seat. We do not want$1$ your \present$2$\ services. We shall 
115:145,22[G  ]| only want$1$ you in$4$ our play$0$. You must be $MP#ZZV$Cottager's*wife." 
115:145,23[G  ]| 
115:145,24[A  ]| "Me!" 
115:145,24['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, sitting down$5$ again with a most 
115:145,25['  ]| frightened look$0$. 
115:145,25[A  ]| "Indeed you must excuse$1$ me. I could 
115:145,26[A  ]| not act$1$ any*thing if you were to$9$ give me the world. No$7$, 
115:145,27[A  ]| indeed, I cannot act$1$." 
115:145,28[G  ]| "Indeed but you must, for$3$ we cannot excuse$1$ you. 
115:145,29[G  ]| It need$1$ not frighten you; it is a nothing of a part$0$, a mere 
115:145,30[G  ]| nothing, not above$4$ half a dozen speeches altogether, and 
115:145,31[G  ]| it will$1$ not much signify if nobody hears a word you say, 
115:145,32[G  ]| so$3$ you may$1$ be as creepmouse as you like$1$, but we must 
115:145,33[G  ]| have you to$9$ look$1$ at." 
115:145,34[K  ]| "If you are afraid of half a dozen speeches," 
115:145,34['  ]| cried 
115:145,35['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
115:145,35[K  ]| "what would you do with such a part$0$ 
115:145,36[K  ]| as mine$6$? I have forty-two to$9$ learn. 
115:145,37[A  ]| "It is not that$3$ I am afraid of learning by$4$ heart," 
115:145,37['  ]| said 
115:145,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, shocked to$9$ find herself at that$6#2$ moment the only 
115:146,01['  ]| speaker in$4$ the room, and to$9$ feel that$3$ almost every eye 
115:146,02['  ]| was upon$4$ her; 
115:146,02[A  ]| "but I really cannot act$1$." 
115:146,03[G  ]| "Yes, yes, you can act$1$ well$5$ enough for$4$ \us\. Learn your 
115:146,04[G  ]| part$0$, and we will$1$ teach you all the rest$0#1$. You have only 
115:146,05[G  ]| two scenes, and as I shall be $MP#ZZS$Cottager, I'll put you in$5$ and 
115:146,06[G  ]| push$1$ you about$5$; and you will$1$ do it very well$5$ I'll answer$1$ 
115:146,07[G  ]| for$4$ it." 
115:146,08[A  ]| "No$7$, indeed, $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram, you must excuse$1$ me. 
115:146,09[A  ]| You cannot have an idea. It would be absolutely impossible 
115:146,10[A  ]| for$4$ me. If I were to$9$ undertake it, I should only 
115:146,11[A  ]| disappoint you." 
115:146,12[G  ]| "Phoo! Phoo! Do not be so$5#1$ shamefaced. You'll do 
115:146,13[G  ]| it very well$5$. Every allowance will$1$ be made for$4$ you. 
115:146,14[G  ]| We do not expect perfection. You must get a brown 
115:146,15[G  ]| gown, and a white apron, and a mob cap, and we must 
115:146,16[G  ]| make$1$ you a few wrinkles, and a little of the crowsfoot 
115:146,17[G  ]| at the corner of your eyes, and you will$1$ be a very proper, 
115:146,18[G  ]| little old woman." 
115:146,19[A  ]| "You must excuse$1$ me, indeed you must excuse$1$ me," 
115:146,20['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, growing more and more red from excessive 
115:146,21['  ]| agitation, and looking distressfully at $MP#B$Edmund, who$6#1$ was 
115:146,22['  ]| kindly observing her, but unwilling to$9$ exasperate his 
115:146,23['  ]| brother by$4$ interference, gave her only an encouraging 
115:146,24['  ]| smile$0$. Her entreaty had no$2$ effect$0$ on$4$ $MP#G$Tom; he only 
115:146,25['  ]| said again what he had said before$5$; and it was not 
115:146,26['  ]| merely $MP#G$Tom, for$3$ the requisition was now backed by$4$ $MP#H$Maria 
115:146,27['  ]| and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, with an urgency which$6#1$ 
115:146,28['  ]| differed from his, but in$4$ being$1$ more gentle or more 
115:146,29['  ]| ceremonious, and which$6#1$ altogether was quite overpowering 
115:146,30['  ]| to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny; and before$3$ she could breathe after$4$ it, 
115:146,31['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris completed the whole$0$, by$4$ thus addressing her 
115:146,32['  ]| in$4$ a whisper$0$ at once angry and audible: 
115:146,32[J  ]| "What a piece 
115:146,33[J  ]| of work$0$ here is about$4$ nothing, ~~ I am quite ashamed of 
115:146,34[J  ]| you, $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ make$1$ such a difficulty of obliging your 
115:146,35[J  ]| cousins in$4$ a trifle$0$ of this sort, ~~ So$5#1$ kind$2$ as they are to$4$ 
115:146,36[J  ]| you! ~~ Take the part$0$ with a good grace$0$, and let us hear 
115:146,37[J  ]| no$2$ more of the matter, I entreat." 
115:146,38[B  ]| "Do not urge her, madam," 
115:146,38['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund. 
115:146,38[B  ]| "It is 
115:147,01[B  ]| not fair to$9$ urge her in$4$ this manner. ~~ You see she does 
115:147,02[B  ]| not like$1$ to$9$ act$1$. ~~ Let her choose for$4$ herself as well$5$ as the 
115:147,03[B  ]| rest$0#1$ of us. ~~ Her judgment may$1$ be quite as safely trusted. 
115:147,04[B  ]| ~~ Do not urge her any more." 
115:147,05[J  ]| "I am not going to$9$ urge her," ~~ 
115:147,05['  ]| replied $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
115:147,06['  ]| sharply, 
115:147,06[J  ]| "but I shall think her a very obstinate, ungrateful 
115:147,07[J  ]| girl, if she does not do what her aunt and cousins wish$1$ 
115:147,08[J  ]| her ~~ very ungrateful indeed, considering who$6#1$ and what 
115:147,09[J  ]| she is." 
115:147,10['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was too$5#1$ angry to$9$ speak; but $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
115:147,11['  ]| looking for$4$ a moment with astonished eyes at $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
115:147,12['  ]| and then at $MP#A$Fanny, whose$6#1$ tears were beginning to$9$ show$1$ 
115:147,13['  ]| themselves, immediately said with some keenness, 
115:147,13[C  ]| "I do 
115:147,14[C  ]| not like$1$ my situation; this \place$0$\ is too$5#1$ hot for$4$ me" 
115:147,14['  ]| ~~ and 
115:147,15['  ]| moved away her chair to$4$ the opposite side$0$ of the table 
115:147,16['  ]| close$5$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, saying to$4$ her in$4$ a kind$2$ low whisper$0$ as 
115:147,17['  ]| she placed herself, 
115:147,17[C  ]| "Never mind$1$, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Miss*Price ~~ 
115:147,18[C  ]| this is a cross$2$ evening, ~~ everybody is cross$2$ and teasing ~~ 
115:147,19[C  ]| but do not let us mind$1$ them;" 
115:147,19['  ]| and with pointed attention 
115:147,20['  ]| continued to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$ her and endeavour$1$ to$9$ raise her 
115:147,21['  ]| spirits, in$4$ spite$8$ of being$1$ out$5$ of spirits herself. ~~ By$4$ a look$0$ 
115:147,22['  ]| at her brother, she prevented any farther entreaty from 
115:147,23['  ]| the theatrical board, and the really good feelings by$4$ 
115:147,24['  ]| which$6#1$ she was almost purely governed, were rapidly 
115:147,25['  ]| restoring her to$4$ all the little she had lost in$4$ $MP#B$Edmund's 
115:147,26['  ]| favour$0$. 
115:147,27['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny did not love$1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; but she felt very 
115:147,28['  ]| much obliged to$4$ her for$4$ her present$2$ kindness; and when 
115:147,29['  ]| from taking notice$0$ of her work$0$ and wishing \she\ could 
115:147,30['  ]| work$1$ as well$5$, and begging for$4$ the pattern, and supposing 
115:147,31['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was now preparing for$4$ her \appearance\ as of course$8$ 
115:147,32['  ]| she would come out$5$ when her cousin was married, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
115:147,33['  ]| proceeded to$9$ inquire if she had heard lately 
115:147,34['  ]| from her brother at sea, and said that$3$ 
115:147,34@c   | she had quite 
115:147,35@c   | a curiosity to$9$ see him, and imagined him a very fine 
115:147,36@c   | young man, and advised $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ get his picture$0$ 
115:147,37@c   | drawn before$3$ he went to$4$ sea again ~~ 
115:147,37['  ]| she could not help$1$ 
115:147,38['  ]| admitting it to$9$ be very agreeable flattery, or help$1$ 
115:148,01['  ]| listening, and answering with more animation than she 
115:148,02['  ]| had intended. 
115:148,03['  ]| The consultation upon$4$ the play$0$ still$5$ went on$5$, and 
115:148,04['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's attention was first called from $MP#A$Fanny by$4$ 
115:148,05['  ]| $MP#G$Tom*Bertram's telling her, with infinite regret$0$, that$3$ he 
115:148,06['  ]| found it absolutely impossible for$4$ him to$9$ undertake the 
115:148,07['  ]| part$0$ of $MP#ZZO$Anhalt in$4$ addition to$4$ the $MP#ZZQ$Butler; ~~ 
115:148,07@g   | he had been 
115:148,08@g   | most anxiously trying$1$ to$9$ make$1$ it out$5$ to$9$ be feasible, ~~ 
115:148,09@g   | but it would not do, ~~ he must give it up$5$. ~~ 
115:148,09[G  ]| "But there 
115:148,10[G  ]| will$1$ not be the smallest difficulty in$4$ filling it," 
115:147,10['  ]| he added. ~~ 
115:148,11[G  ]| "We have but to$9$ speak the word; we may$1$ pick and 
115:148,12[G  ]| choose. ~~ I could name$1$ at this moment at least six young 
115:148,13[G  ]| men within six miles of us, who$6#1$ are wild to$9$ be admitted 
115:148,14[G  ]| into our company, and there are one or two that$6#1$ would 
115:148,15[G  ]| not disgrace$1$ us. ~~ I should not be afraid to$9$ trust$1$ either 
115:148,16[G  ]| of the $MP#ZZ$Olivers or $MP#ZU$Charles*Maddox. ~~ $MP#ZZ$Tom*Oliver is a very 
115:148,17[G  ]| clever fellow, and $MP#ZU$Charles*Maddox is as gentlemanlike 
115:148,18[G  ]| a man as you will$1$ see any*where, so$3$ I will$1$ take my horse 
115:148,19[G  ]| early to-morrow morning, and ride$1$ over to$4$ Stoke, and 
115:148,20[G  ]| settle with one of them." 
115:148,21['  ]| While$3$ he spoke, $MP#H$Maria was looking apprehensively 
115:148,22['  ]| round$5$ at $MP#B$Edmund in$4$ full expectation that$3$ he must 
115:148,23['  ]| oppose such an enlargement of the plan as this ~~ so$5#1$ 
115:148,24['  ]| contrary to$4$ all their first protestations; but $MP#B$Edmund 
115:148,25['  ]| said nothing. ~~ After$4$ a moment's thought$0$, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
115:148,26['  ]| calmly replied, 
115:148,26[C  ]| "As far as I am concerned, I can have 
115:148,27[C  ]| no$2$ objection to$4$ any*thing that$6#1$ you all think eligible. 
115:148,28[C  ]| Have I ever seen either of the gentlemen? ~~ Yes, $MP#ZU$Mr%*Charles*Maddox 
115:148,29[C  ]| dined at my sister's one day, did not he 
115:148,30[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry? ~~ A quiet-looking young man. I remember him. 
115:148,31[C  ]| Let \him\ be applied to$5$, if you please, for$3$ it will$1$ be less 
115:148,32[C  ]| unpleasant to$4$ me than to$9$ have a perfect$2$ stranger$0$." 
115:148,33['  ]| $MP#ZU$Charles*Maddox was to$9$ be the man. ~~ $MP#G$Tom repeated 
115:148,34['  ]| his resolution of going to$4$ him early on$4$ the morrow; and 
115:148,35['  ]| though $MP#I$Julia, who$6#1$ had scarcely opened her lips before$5$, 
115:148,36['  ]| observed in$4$ a sarcastic manner, and with a glance$0$, first at 
115:148,37['  ]| $MP#H$Maria, and then at $MP#B$Edmund, that$3$ 
115:148,37[I  ]| "the Mansfield Theatricals 
115:148,38[I  ]| would enliven the whole$2$ neighbourhood exceedingly" ~~ 
115:149,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund still$5$ held his peace, and shewed his 
115:149,02['  ]| feelings only by$4$ a determined gravity. 
115:149,03[C  ]| "I am not very sanguine as to$4$ our play$0$" ~~ 
115:149,03['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
115:149,04['  ]| in$4$ an under voice, to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, after$4$ some consideration; 
115:149,05[C  ]| "and I can tell $MP#ZU$Mr%*Maddox, that$3$ I shall 
115:149,06[C  ]| shorten some of \his\ speeches, and a great many of \my\ \own$2$\, 
115:149,07[C  ]| before$3$ we rehearse together. ~~ It will$1$ be very disagreeable, 
115:149,08[C  ]| and by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ what I expected." 
116:150,01['  ]| It was not in$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's power to$9$ talk$1$ $MP#A$Fanny 
116:150,02['  ]| into any real forgetfulness of what had passed. ~~ When 
116:150,03['  ]| the evening was over, she went to$4$ bed full of it, her 
116:150,04['  ]| nerves still$5$ agitated by$4$ the shock$0$ of such an attack$0$ from 
116:150,05['  ]| her cousin $MP#G$Tom, so$5#1$ public$2$ and so$5#1$ persevered in$5$, and her 
116:150,06['  ]| spirits sinking under her aunt's unkind reflection and 
116:150,07['  ]| reproach$0$. 
116:150,07@a   | To$9$ be called into notice$0$ in$4$ such a manner, to$9$ 
116:150,08@a   | hear that$3$ it was but the prelude to$4$ something so$5#1$ infinitely 
116:150,09@a   | worse, to$9$ be told that$3$ she must do what was so$5#1$ impossible 
116:150,10@a   | as to$9$ act$1$; and then to$9$ have the charge$0$ of obstinacy and 
116:150,11@a   | ingratitude follow it, enforced with such a hint$0$ at the 
116:150,12@a   | dependence of her situation, had been too$5#1$ distressing 
116:150,13@a   | at the time, to$9$ make$1$ the remembrance when she was 
116:150,14@a   | alone much less so$5#2$, ~~ especially with the superadded 
116:150,15@a   | dread$0$ of what the morrow might produce in$4$ continuation 
116:150,16@a   | of the subject$0$. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford had protected her only 
116:150,17@a   | for$4$ the time; and if she were applied to$5$ again among 
116:150,18@a   | themselves with all the authoritative urgency that$6#1$ $MP#G$Tom 
116:150,19@a   | and $MP#H$Maria were capable of; and $MP#B$Edmund perhaps away ~~ 
116:150,20@a   | what should she do? 
116:150,20['  ]| She fell asleep before$3$ she could 
116:150,21['  ]| answer$1$ the question$0$, and found it quite as puzzling when 
116:150,22['  ]| she awoke the next morning. The little white attic, 
116:150,23['  ]| which$6#1$ had continued her sleeping room ever since her 
116:150,24['  ]| first entering the family, proving incompetent to$9$ suggest 
116:150,25['  ]| any reply$0$, she had recourse, as soon as she was dressed, 
116:150,26['  ]| to$4$ another apartment, more spacious and more meet$2$ 
116:150,27['  ]| for$4$ walking about$5$ in$5$, and thinking, and of which$6#1$ she had 
116:150,28['  ]| now for$4$ some time been almost equally mistress. It had 
116:150,29['  ]| been their school-room; so$5#2$ called till the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams 
116:150,30['  ]| would not allow it to$9$ be called so$5#2$ any longer, and inhabited 
116:150,31['  ]| as such to$4$ a later period. There $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee had 
116:151,01['  ]| lived, and there they had read and written, and talked 
116:151,02['  ]| and laughed, till within the last$2$ three years, when she had 
116:151,03['  ]| quitted them. ~~ The room had then become useless, and 
116:151,04['  ]| for$4$ some time was quite deserted, except by$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
116:151,05['  ]| when she visited her plants, or wanted one of the books, 
116:151,06['  ]| which$6#1$ she was still$5$ glad to$9$ keep there, from the deficiency 
116:151,07['  ]| of space and accommodation in$4$ her little chamber above$5$; 
116:151,08['  ]| ~~ but gradually, as her value$0$ for$4$ the comforts of it 
116:151,09['  ]| increased, she had added to$4$ her possessions, and spent 
116:151,10['  ]| more of her time there; and having nothing to$9$ oppose 
116:151,11['  ]| her, had so$5#1$ naturally and so$5#1$ artlessly worked herself into 
116:151,12['  ]| it, that$3$ it was now generally admitted to$9$ be her's. The 
116:151,13['  ]| East*room as it had been called, ever since $MP#H$Maria*Bertram 
116:151,14['  ]| was sixteen, was now considered $MP#A$Fanny's, almost as 
116:151,15['  ]| decidedly as the white attic; ~~ the smallness of the one 
116:151,16['  ]| making the use$0$ of the other so$5#1$ evidently reasonable, that$3$ 
116:151,17['  ]| the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams, with every superiority in$4$ their own$2$ 
116:151,18['  ]| apartments, which$6#1$ their own$2$ sense of superiority could 
116:151,19['  ]| demand$1$, were entirely approving it; ~~ and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
116:151,20['  ]| having stipulated for$4$ there never being$1$ a fire$0$ in$4$ it on$4$ 
116:151,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's account$0$, was tolerably resigned to$4$ her having 
116:151,22['  ]| the use$0$ of what nobody else wanted, though the terms 
116:151,23['  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ she sometimes spoke of the indulgence, seemed 
116:151,24['  ]| to$9$ imply that$3$ it was the best room in$4$ the house. 
116:151,25['  ]| The aspect was so$5#1$ favourable, that$3$ even$5$ without a fire$0$ 
116:151,26['  ]| it was habitable in$4$ many an early spring$0$, and late autumn 
116:151,27['  ]| morning, to$4$ such a willing mind$0$ as $MP#A$Fanny's, and while$3$ 
116:151,28['  ]| there was a gleam of sunshine, she hoped not to$9$ be 
116:151,29['  ]| driven from it entirely, even$5$ when winter came. The 
116:151,30['  ]| comfort$0$ of it in$4$ her hours of leisure was extreme$2$. She 
116:151,31['  ]| could go there after$4$ any*thing unpleasant below, and find 
116:151,32['  ]| immediate consolation in$4$ some pursuit, or some train of 
116:151,33['  ]| thought$0$ at hand$0$. ~~ Her plants, her books ~~ of which$6#1$ she 
116:151,34['  ]| had been a collector, from the first hour of her commanding 
116:151,35['  ]| a shilling ~~ her writing desk, and her works$0$ of 
116:151,36['  ]| charity and ingenuity, were all within her reach$0$; ~~ or if 
116:151,37['  ]| indisposed for$4$ employment, if nothing but musing would 
116:151,38['  ]| do, she could scarcely see an object$0$ in$4$ that$6#2$ room which$6#1$ 
116:152,01['  ]| had not an interesting remembrance connected with it. ~~ 
116:152,02@a   | Every*thing was a friend, or bore$1#1$ her thoughts to$4$ a 
116:152,03@a   | friend; and though there had been sometimes much of 
116:152,04@a   | suffering to$4$ her ~~ though her motives had been often 
116:152,05@a   | misunderstood, her feelings disregarded, and her comprehension 
116:152,06@a   | under-valued; though she had known the 
116:152,07@a   | pains of tyranny, of ridicule$0#1$, and neglect$0$, yet almost 
116:152,08@a   | every recurrence of either had led to$4$ something consolatory; 
116:152,09@a   | her aunt $MP#F$Bertram had spoken for$4$ her, or $MP#ZZL$Miss*Lee 
116:152,10@a   | had been encouraging, or what was yet more frequent 
116:152,11@a   | or more dear$2#1$ ~~ $MP#B$Edmund had been her champion and her 
116:152,12@a   | friend; ~~ he had supported her cause, or explained her 
116:152,13@a   | meaning, he had told her not to$9$ cry$1$, or had given her 
116:152,14@a   | some proof of affection which$6#1$ made her tears delightful ~~ 
116:152,15@a   | and the whole$0$ was now so$5#1$ blended together, so$5#1$ harmonized 
116:152,16@a   | by$4$ distance$0$, that$3$ every former affliction had its 
116:152,17@a   | charm$0$. 
116:152,17['  ]| The room was most dear$2#1$ to$4$ her, and she would 
116:152,18['  ]| not have changed its furniture for$4$ the handsomest in$4$ the 
116:152,19['  ]| house, though what had been originally plain, had 
116:152,20['  ]| suffered all the ill-usage of children ~~ and its greatest 
116:152,21['  ]| elegancies and ornaments were a faded footstool of 
116:152,22['  ]| $MP#I$Julia's work$0$, too$5#1$ ill done for$4$ the drawing-room, three 
116:152,23['  ]| transparencies, made in$4$ a rage for$4$ transparencies, for$4$ the 
116:152,24['  ]| three lower$2$ panes of one window, where Tintern*Abbey 
116:152,25['  ]| held its station between a cave in$4$ Italy, and a moonlight 
116:152,26['  ]| lake in$4$ Cumberland; a collection of family profiles 
116:152,27['  ]| thought$1$ unworthy of being$1$ anywhere else, over the 
116:152,28['  ]| mantle-piece, and by$4$ their side$0$ and pinned against the 
116:152,29['  ]| wall, a small sketch of a ship sent four years ago from the 
116:152,30['  ]| Mediterranean by$4$ $MP#Q$William, with H%*M%*S%*Antwerp at the 
116:152,31['  ]| bottom, in$4$ letters as tall as the main-mast. 
116:152,32['  ]| To$4$ this nest of comforts $MP#A$Fanny now walked down$5$ to$9$ 
116:152,33['  ]| try its influence$0$ on$4$ an agitated, doubting spirit ~~ to$9$ see 
116:152,34['  ]| if by$4$ looking at $MP#B$Edmund's profile she could catch$1$ any 
116:152,35['  ]| of his counsel$0$, or by$4$ giving air to$4$ her geraniums she 
116:152,36['  ]| might inhale a breeze of mental strength herself. But 
116:152,37['  ]| she had more than fears of her own$2$ perseverance to$9$ 
116:152,38['  ]| remove$1$; she had begun to$9$ feel undecided as to$4$ what 
116:153,01['  ]| she \ought\ \to$9$\ \do\; and as she walked round$4$ the room her 
116:153,02['  ]| doubts$0$ were increasing. 
116:153,02@a   | Was she \right$2#1$\ in$4$ refusing what 
116:153,03@a   | was so$5#1$ warmly asked, so$5#1$ strongly wished for$5$? what 
116:153,04@a   | might be so$5#1$ essential to$4$ a scheme$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ some of those 
116:153,05@a   | to$4$ whom$6#1$ she owed the greatest complaisance, had set$1$ 
116:153,06@a   | their hearts? Was it not ill-nature ~~ selfishness ~~ and 
116:153,07@a   | a fear$0$ of exposing herself? And would $MP#B$Edmund's 
116:153,08@a   | judgment, would his persuasion of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's disapprobation 
116:153,09@a   | of the whole$0$, be enough to$9$ justify her in$4$ a determined 
116:153,10@a   | denial in$4$ spite$8$ of all the rest$0#1$? It would be so$5#1$ 
116:153,11@a   | horrible to$4$ her to$9$ act$1$, that$3$ she was inclined to$9$ suspect the 
116:153,12@a   | truth and purity of her own$2$ scruples, and as she looked 
116:153,13@a   | around$4$ her, the claims of her cousins to$4$ being$1$ obliged, 
116:153,14@a   | were strengthened by$4$ the sight of present$0#2$ upon$4$ present$0#2$ 
116:153,15@a   | that$6#1$ she had received from them. The table between 
116:153,16@a   | the windows was covered with work-boxes and netting-boxes, 
116:153,17@a   | which$6#1$ had been given her at different times, 
116:153,18@a   | principally by$4$ $MP#G$Tom; and she grew bewildered as to$4$ the 
116:153,19@a   | amount of the debt which$6#1$ all these kind$2$ remembrances 
116:153,20@a   | produced. 
116:153,20['  ]| A tap at the door roused her in$4$ the midst of 
116:153,21['  ]| this attempt$0$ to$9$ find her way to$4$ her duty, and her gentle 
116:153,22[A  ]| "come in$5$," 
116:153,22['  ]| was answered by$4$ the appearance of one, 
116:153,23['  ]| before$4$ whom$6#1$ all her doubts$0$ were wont to$9$ be laid. Her 
116:153,24['  ]| eyes brightened at the sight of $MP#B$Edmund. 
116:153,25[B  ]| "Can I speak with you, $MP#A$Fanny, for$4$ a few minutes?" 
116:153,26['  ]| said he. 
116:153,27[A  ]| "Yes, certainly." 
116:153,28[B  ]| "I want$1$ to$9$ consult. I want$1$ your opinion." 
116:153,29[A  ]| "My opinion!" 
116:153,29['  ]| she cried, shrinking from such a compliment$0$, 
116:153,30['  ]| highly as it gratified her. 
116:153,31[B  ]| "Yes, your advice and opinion. I do not know what 
116:153,32[B  ]| to$9$ do. This acting scheme$0$ gets worse and worse you see. 
116:153,33[B  ]| They have chosen almost as bad a play$0$ as they could; 
116:153,34[B  ]| and now, to$9$ complete$1$ the business, are going to$9$ ask the 
116:153,35[B  ]| help$0$ of a young man very slightly known to$4$ any of us. 
116:153,36[B  ]| This is the end$0$ of all the privacy and propriety which$6#1$ 
116:153,37[B  ]| was talked about$4$ at first. I know no$2$ harm$0$ of $MP#ZU$Charles*Maddox; 
116:153,38[B  ]| but the excessive intimacy which$6#1$ must spring$1$ 
116:154,01[B  ]| from his being$1$ admitted among us in$4$ this manner, is 
116:154,02[B  ]| highly objectionable, the \more\ than intimacy ~~ the 
116:154,03[B  ]| familiarity. I cannot think of it with any patience ~~ 
116:154,04[B  ]| and it does appear to$4$ me an evil of such magnitude as 
116:154,05[B  ]| must, \if\ \possible\, be prevented. Do not you see it in$4$ the 
116:154,06[B  ]| same light$0$?" 
116:154,07[A  ]| "Yes, but what can be done? Your brother is so$5#1$ 
116:154,08[A  ]| determined?" 
116:154,09[B  ]| "There is but \one\ thing to$9$ be done, $MP#A$Fanny. I must 
116:154,10[B  ]| take $MP#ZZO$Anhalt myself. I am well$5$ aware that$3$ nothing else 
116:154,11[B  ]| will$1$ quiet$1$ $MP#G$Tom." 
116:154,12['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not answer$1$ him. 
116:154,13[B  ]| "It is not at all what I like$1$," 
116:154,13['  ]| he continued. 
116:154,13[B  ]| "No$2$ 
116:154,14[B  ]| man can like$1$ being$1$ driven into the \appearance\ of such 
116:154,15[B  ]| inconsistency. After$4$ being$1$ known to$9$ oppose the scheme$0$ 
116:154,16[B  ]| from the beginning, there is absurdity in$4$ the face$0$ of my 
116:154,17[B  ]| joining them \now\, when they are exceeding their first 
116:154,18[B  ]| plan in$4$ every respect$0$; but I can think of no$2$ other alternative. 
116:154,19[B  ]| Can you, $MP#A$Fanny?" 
116:154,20[A  ]| "No$7$," 
116:154,20['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, slowly, 
116:154,20[A  ]| "not immediately ~~ 
116:154,21[A  ]| but ~~" 
116:154,22[B  ]| "But what? I see your judgment is not with me. 
116:154,23[B  ]| Think it a little over. Perhaps you are not so$5#1$ much 
116:154,24[B  ]| aware as I am, of the mischief that$6#1$ \may$1$\, of the unpleasantness 
116:154,25[B  ]| that$6#1$ \must\, arise from a young man's being$1$ 
116:154,26[B  ]| received in$4$ this manner ~~ domesticated among us ~~ 
116:154,27[B  ]| authorized to$9$ come at all hours ~~ and placed suddenly 
116:154,28[B  ]| on$4$ a footing which$6#1$ must do away all restraints. To$9$ 
116:154,29[B  ]| think only of the licence which$6#1$ every rehearsal must tend 
116:154,30[B  ]| to$9$ create. It is all very bad! Put yourself in$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
116:154,31[B  ]| place$0$, $MP#A$Fanny. Consider what it would be 
116:154,32[B  ]| to$9$ act$1$ $MP#ZZT$Amelia with a stranger$0$. She has a right$0$ to$9$ be 
116:154,33[B  ]| felt for$5$, because she evidently feels for$4$ herself. I heard 
116:154,34[B  ]| enough of what she said to$4$ you last$2$ night, to$9$ understand 
116:154,35[B  ]| her unwillingness to$9$ be acting with a stranger$0$; and as 
116:154,36[B  ]| she probably engaged in$4$ the part$0$ with different expectations ~~ 
116:154,37[B  ]| perhaps, without considering the subject$0$ enough 
116:154,38[B  ]| to$9$ know what was likely to$9$ be, it would be ungenerous, 
116:155,01[B  ]| it would be really wrong to$9$ expose her to$4$ it. Her feelings 
116:155,02[B  ]| ought to$9$ be respected. Does not it strike you so$5#2$, $MP#A$Fanny? 
116:155,03[B  ]| You hesitate." 
116:155,04[A  ]| "I am sorry for$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; but I am more sorry 
116:155,05[A  ]| to$9$ see you drawn in$5$ to$9$ do what you had resolved against, 
116:155,06[A  ]| and what you are known to$9$ think will$1$ be disagreeable to$4$ 
116:155,07[A  ]| my uncle. It will$1$ be such a triumph$0$ to$4$ the others!" 
116:155,08[B  ]| "They will$1$ not have much cause of triumph$0$, when they 
116:155,09[B  ]| see how infamously I act$1$. But, however, triumph$0$ there 
116:155,10[B  ]| certainly will$1$ be, and I must brave it. But if I can be 
116:155,11[B  ]| the means$0$ of restraining the publicity of the business, of 
116:155,12[B  ]| limiting the exhibition, of concentrating our folly, I shall 
116:155,13[B  ]| be well$5$ repaid. As I am now, I have no$2$ influence$0$, I can 
116:155,14[B  ]| do nothing; I have offended them, and they will$1$ not 
116:155,15[B  ]| hear me; but when I have put them in$4$ good*humour by$4$ 
116:155,16[B  ]| this concession, I am not without hopes$0$ of persuading 
116:155,17[B  ]| them to$9$ confine the representation within a much smaller 
116:155,18[B  ]| circle than they are now in$4$ the high road for$4$. This will$1$ 
116:155,19[B  ]| be a material$2$ gain$0$. My object$0$ is to$9$ confine it to$4$ 
116:155,19[B  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth 
116:155,20[B  ]| and the $MP#M1$Grants. Will$1$ not this be worth 
116:155,21[B  ]| gaining?" 
116:155,22[A  ]| "Yes, it will$1$ be a great point$0$." 
116:155,23[B  ]| "But still$5$ it has not your approbation. Can you mention$1$ 
116:155,24[B  ]| any other measure$0$ by$4$ which$6#1$ I have a chance$0$ of doing 
116:155,25[B  ]| equal$2$ good?" 
116:155,26[A  ]| "No$7$, I cannot think of any*thing else." 
116:155,27[B  ]| "Give me your approbation, then, $MP#A$Fanny. I am not 
116:155,28[B  ]| comfortable without it." 
116:155,29[A  ]| "Oh! cousin." 
116:155,30[B  ]| "If you are against me, I ought to$9$ distrust$1$ myself ~~ 
116:155,31[B  ]| and yet ~~ But it is absolutely impossible to$9$ let $MP#G$Tom go 
116:155,32[B  ]| on$5$ in$4$ this way, riding about$4$ the country in$4$ quest of any*body 
116:155,33[B  ]| who$6#1$ can be persuaded to$9$ act$1$ ~~ no$2$ matter whom$6#1$; 
116:155,34[B  ]| the look$0$ of a gentleman is to$9$ be enough. I thought$1$ \you\ 
116:155,35[B  ]| would have entered more into $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's feelings." 
116:155,36[A  ]| "No$2$ doubt$0$ she will$1$ be very glad. It must be a great 
116:155,37[A  ]| relief to$4$ her," 
116:155,37['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, trying$1$ for$4$ greater warmth of 
116:155,38['  ]| manner. 
116:156,01[B  ]| "She never appeared more amiable than in$4$ her behaviour 
116:156,02[B  ]| to$4$ you last$2$ night. It gave her a very strong claim$0$ 
116:156,03[B  ]| on$4$ my good*will." 
116:156,04[A  ]| "She \was\ very kind$2$ indeed, and I am glad to$9$ have her 
116:156,05[A  ]| spared." ~~ 
116:156,06['  ]| She could not finish$1$ the generous effusion. Her conscience 
116:156,07['  ]| stopt her in$4$ the middle, but $MP#B$Edmund was satisfied. 
116:156,08[B  ]| "I shall walk$1$ down$5$ immediately after$4$ breakfast$0$," 
116:156,08['  ]| said 
116:156,09['  ]| he, 
116:156,09[B  ]| "and am sure of giving pleasure there. And now, 
116:156,10[B  ]| dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, I will$1$ not interrupt you any longer. You 
116:156,11[B  ]| want$1$ to$9$ be reading. But I could not be easy till I had 
116:156,12[B  ]| spoken to$4$ you, and come to$4$ a decision. Sleeping or waking, 
116:156,13[B  ]| my head$0$ has been full of this matter all night. It is 
116:156,14[B  ]| an evil ~~ but I am certainly making it less than it might 
116:156,15[B  ]| be. If $MP#G$Tom is up$5$, I shall go to$4$ him directly and get it over; 
116:156,16[B  ]| and when we meet$1$ at breakfast$0$ we shall be all in$4$ high 
116:156,17[B  ]| good*humour at the prospect of acting the fool together 
116:156,18[B  ]| with such unanimity. \You\ in$4$ the meanwhile will$1$ be 
116:156,19[B  ]| taking a trip into China, I suppose. How does $MP#Z1$Lord*Macartney 
116:156,20[B  ]| go on$5$? ~~ 
116:156,20['  ]| (opening a volume on$4$ the table and 
116:156,21['  ]| then taking up$5$ some others.) 
116:156,21[B  ]| And here are $MP#Z1$Crabbe's Tales, 
116:156,22[B  ]| and the Idler, at hand$0$ to$9$ relieve you, if you tire 
116:156,23[B  ]| of your great book. I admire your little establishment 
116:156,24[B  ]| exceedingly; and as soon as I am gone, you will$1$ empty$1$ 
116:156,25[B  ]| your head$0$ of all this nonsense of acting, and sit comfortably 
116:156,26[B  ]| down$5$ to$4$ your table. But do not stay$1$ here to$9$ be 
116:156,27[B  ]| cold$2$." 
116:156,28['  ]| He went; but there was no$2$ reading, no$2$ China, no$2$ composure 
116:156,29['  ]| for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny. 
116:156,29@a   | He had told her the most extraordinary, 
116:156,30@a   | the most inconceivable, the most unwelcome 
116:156,31@a   | news; and she could think of nothing else. To$9$ be acting! 
116:156,32@a   | After$4$ all his objections ~~ objections so$5#1$ just$2$ and so$5#1$ public$2$! 
116:156,33@a   | After$4$ all that$6#1$ she had heard him say, and seen him look$1$, 
116:156,34@a   | and known him to$9$ be feeling. Could it be possible? 
116:156,35@a   | $MP#B$Edmund so$5#1$ inconsistent. Was he not deceiving himself? 
116:156,36@a   | Was he not wrong? Alas! it was all $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
116:156,37@a   | doing. She had seen her influence$0$ in$4$ every speech, and 
116:156,38@a   | was miserable. The doubts$0$ and alarms as to$4$ her own$2$ 
116:157,01@a   | conduct$0$, which$6#1$ had previously distressed her, and which$6#1$ 
116:157,02@a   | had all slept while$3$ she listened to$4$ him, were become of 
116:157,03@a   | little consequence now. This deeper anxiety swallowed 
116:157,04@a   | them up$5$. Things should take their course$0$; she cared 
116:157,05@a   | not how it ended. Her cousins might attack$1$, but could 
116:157,06@a   | hardly tease her. She was beyond$4$ their reach$0$; and if at 
116:157,07@a   | last$0$ obliged to$9$ yield ~~ no$2$ matter ~~ it was all misery \now\. 
117:158,01['  ]| It was, indeed, a triumphant day to$4$ $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram and 
117:158,02['  ]| $MP#H$Maria. Such a victory over $MP#B$Edmund's discretion had 
117:158,03['  ]| been beyond$4$ their hopes$0$, and was most delightful. There 
117:158,04['  ]| was no$2$ longer any*thing to$9$ disturb them in$4$ their darling 
117:158,05['  ]| project, and they congratulated each other in$4$ private$0$ on$4$ 
117:158,06['  ]| the jealous weakness to$4$ which$6#1$ they attributed the change$0$, 
117:158,07['  ]| with all the glee of feelings gratified in$4$ every way. 
117:158,07@y   | $MP#B$Edmund 
117:158,08@y   | might still$5$ look$1$ grave$2$, and say he did not like$1$ the 
117:158,09@y   | scheme$0$ in$4$ general$0$, and must disapprove the play$0$ in$4$ particular; 
117:158,10@y   | their point$0$ was gained; he was to$9$ act$1$, and he 
117:158,11@y   | was driven to$4$ it by$4$ the force$0$ of selfish inclinations only. 
117:158,12['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had descended from that$6#2$ moral elevation which$6#1$ 
117:158,13['  ]| he had maintained before$5$, and they were both as much 
117:158,14['  ]| the better as the happier for$4$ the descent. 
117:158,15['  ]| They behaved very well$5$, however, \to$4$\ \him\ on$4$ the occasion$0$, 
117:158,16['  ]| betraying no$2$ exultation beyond$4$ the lines about$4$ the 
117:158,17['  ]| corners of the mouth, and seemed to$9$ think it as great an 
117:158,18['  ]| escape$0$ to$9$ be quit of the intrusion of $MP#ZU$Charles*Maddox, as 
117:158,19['  ]| if they had been forced into admitting him against their 
117:158,20['  ]| inclination. 
117:158,20[Y  ]| "To$9$ have it quite in$4$ their own$2$ family circle 
117:158,21[Y  ]| was what they had particularly wished. A stranger$0$ 
117:158,22[Y  ]| among them would have been the destruction of all their 
117:158,23[Y  ]| comfort$0$," 
117:158,23['  ]| and when $MP#B$Edmund, pursuing that$6#2$ idea, gave 
117:158,24['  ]| a hint$0$ of his hope$0$ as to$4$ the limitation of the audience, 
117:158,25['  ]| they were ready, in$4$ the complaisance of the moment, to$9$ 
117:158,26['  ]| promise$1$ any*thing. It was all good*humour and encouragement. 
117:158,27['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris offered to$9$ contrive his dress$0$, $MP#R$Mr%*Yates 
117:158,28['  ]| assured him, that$3$ $MP#ZZO$Anhalt's last$2$ scene with the 
117:158,29['  ]| $MP#ZZM$Baron admitted a good deal$0$ of action and emphasis, and 
117:158,30['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth undertook to$9$ count his speeches. 
117:158,31[G  ]| "Perhaps," 
117:158,31['  ]| said $MP#G$Tom, 
117:158,31[G  ]| "\$MP#A$Fanny\ may$1$ be more disposed 
117:158,32[G  ]| to$9$ oblige us now. Perhaps you may$1$ persuade \her\." 
117:159,01[B  ]| "No$7$, she is quite determined. She certainly will$1$ not 
117:159,02[B  ]| act$1$." 
117:159,03[G  ]| "Oh! very well$5$." 
117:159,03['  ]| And not another word was said: 
117:159,04['  ]| but $MP#A$Fanny felt herself again in$4$ danger, and her indifference 
117:159,05['  ]| to$4$ the danger was beginning to$9$ fail her already. 
117:159,06['  ]| There were not fewer smiles at the parsonage than at 
117:159,07['  ]| the park on$4$ this change$0$ in$4$ $MP#B$Edmund; $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
117:159,08['  ]| looked very lovely in$4$ her's, and entered with such an 
117:159,09['  ]| instantaneous renewal of cheerfulness into the whole$2$ 
117:159,10['  ]| affair, as could have but one effect$0$ on$4$ him. 
117:159,10[B  ]| "He was 
117:159,11[B  ]| certainly right$2#1$ in$4$ respecting such feelings; he was glad 
117:159,12[B  ]| he had determined on$4$ it." 
117:159,12['  ]| And the morning wore away 
117:159,13['  ]| in$4$ satisfactions very sweet, if not very sound$2$. One advantage 
117:159,14['  ]| resulted from it to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny; at the earnest request$0$ 
117:159,15['  ]| of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant had with her usual good*humour 
117:159,16['  ]| agreed to$9$ undertake the part$0$ for$4$ which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny 
117:159,17['  ]| had been wanted ~~ and this was all that$6#1$ occurred to$9$ 
117:159,18['  ]| gladden \her\ heart during the day; and even$5$ this, when 
117:159,19['  ]| imparted by$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, brought a pang with it, 
117:159,19@a   | for$3$ it was 
117:159,20@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford to$4$ whom$6#1$ she was obliged, it was $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
117:159,21@a   | whose$6#1$ kind$2$ exertions were to$9$ excite her gratitude, 
117:159,22@a   | and whose$6#1$ merit$0$ in$4$ making them was spoken of with 
117:159,23@a   | a glow of admiration. She was safe; but peace and 
117:159,24@a   | safety were unconnected here. Her mind$0$ had been never 
117:159,25@a   | farther from peace. She could not feel that$3$ she had done 
117:159,26@a   | wrong herself, but she was disquieted in$4$ every other way. 
117:159,27@a   | Her heart and her judgment were equally against $MP#B$Edmund's 
117:159,28@a   | decision; she could not acquit his unsteadiness; and his 
117:159,29@a   | happiness under it made her wretched. She was full of 
117:159,30@a   | jealousy and agitation. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford came with looks$0$ 
117:159,31@a   | of gaiety which$6#1$ seemed an insult, with friendly expressions 
117:159,32@a   | towards herself which$6#1$ she could hardly answer$1$ 
117:159,33@a   | calmly. Every*body around$4$ her was gay and busy, 
117:159,34@a   | prosperous and important, each had their object$0$ of interest$0$, 
117:159,35@a   | their part$0$, their dress$0$, their favourite$2$ scene, their 
117:159,36@a   | friends and confederates, all were finding employment in$4$ 
117:159,37@a   | consultations and comparisons, or diversion in$4$ the playful 
117:159,38@a   | conceits they suggested. She alone was sad and insignificant; 
117:160,01@a   | she had no$2$ share$0$ in$4$ any*thing; she might go or 
117:160,02@a   | stay$1$, she might be in$4$ the midst of their noise, or retreat$1$ 
117:160,03@a   | from it to$4$ the solitude of the East*room, without being$1$ 
117:160,04@a   | seen or missed. She could almost think any*thing would 
117:160,05@a   | have been preferable to$4$ this. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant was of consequence; 
117:160,06@a   | \her\ good*nature had honourable mention$0$ ~~ her 
117:160,07@a   | taste and her time were considered ~~ her presence was 
117:160,08@a   | wanted ~~ she was sought for$5$ and attended, and praised; 
117:160,09['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny was at first in$4$ some danger of envying her the 
117:160,10['  ]| character she had accepted. But reflection brought better 
117:160,11['  ]| feelings, and shewed her that$3$ 
117:160,11@a   | $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant was entitled to$4$ 
117:160,12@a   | respect$0$, which$6#1$ could never have belonged to$4$ \her\, and that$3$ 
117:160,13@a   | had she received even$5$ the greatest, she could never have 
117:160,14@a   | been easy in$4$ joining a scheme$0$ which$6#1$, considering only her 
117:160,15@a   | uncle, she must condemn altogether. 
117:160,16['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's heart was not absolutely the only saddened 
117:160,17['  ]| one amongst them, as she soon began to$9$ acknowledge 
117:160,18['  ]| herself. ~~ $MP#I$Julia was a sufferer too$5#2$, though not quite so$5#1$ 
117:160,19['  ]| blamelessly. 
117:160,20['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had trifled with her feelings; but she 
117:160,21['  ]| had very long allowed and even$5$ sought his attentions, 
117:160,22['  ]| with a jealousy of her sister so$5#1$ reasonable as ought to$9$ 
117:160,23['  ]| have been their cure$0$; and now that$3$ the conviction of his 
117:160,24['  ]| preference for$4$ $MP#H$Maria had been forced on$4$ her, she submitted 
117:160,25['  ]| to$4$ it without any alarm$0$ for$4$ $MP#H$Maria's situation, or any 
117:160,26['  ]| endeavour$0$ at rational tranquillity for$4$ herself. ~~ She either 
117:160,27['  ]| sat in$4$ gloomy silence$0$, wrapt in$4$ such gravity as nothing 
117:160,28['  ]| could subdue, no$2$ curiosity touch$1$, no$2$ wit amuse; or allowing 
117:160,29['  ]| the attentions of $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, was talking with forced 
117:160,30['  ]| gaiety to$4$ him alone, and ridiculing the acting of the 
117:160,31['  ]| others. 
117:160,32['  ]| For$4$ a day or two after$3$ the affront was given, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
117:160,33['  ]| had endeavoured to$9$ do it away by$4$ the usual 
117:160,34['  ]| attack$0$ of gallantry and compliment$0$, but he had not cared 
117:160,35['  ]| enough about$4$ it to$9$ persevere against a few repulses; and 
117:160,36['  ]| becoming soon too$5#1$ busy with his play$0$ to$9$ have time for$4$ 
117:160,37['  ]| more than one flirtation, he grew indifferent to$4$ the quarrel$0$, 
117:160,38['  ]| or rather thought$1$ it a lucky occurrence, as quietly putting 
117:161,01['  ]| an end$0$ to$4$ what might ere long have raised expectations 
117:161,02['  ]| in$4$ more than $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant. ~~ She was not pleased to$9$ see 
117:161,03['  ]| $MP#I$Julia excluded from the play$0$, and sitting by$5$ disregarded; 
117:161,04@n   | but as it was not a matter which$6#1$ really involved her happiness, 
117:161,05@n   | as $MP#D$Henry must be the best judge$0$ of his own$2$, and 
117:161,06@n   | as he did assure her, with a most persuasive smile$0$, that$3$ 
117:161,07@n   | neither he nor $MP#I$Julia had ever had a serious$2$ thought$0$ of 
117:161,08@n   | each other, she could only renew her former caution$0$ as to$4$ 
117:161,09@n   | the elder sister, entreat him not to$9$ risk$1$ his tranquillity by$4$ 
117:161,10@n   | too$5#1$ much admiration there, and then gladly take her share$0$ 
117:161,11@n   | in$4$ any*thing that$6#1$ brought cheerfulness to$4$ the young people 
117:161,12@n   | in$4$ general$0$, and that$6#1$ did so$5#1$ particularly promote the 
117:161,13@n   | pleasure of the two so$5#1$ dear$2#1$ to$4$ her. 
117:161,14[N  ]| "I rather wonder$1$ $MP#I$Julia is not in$4$ love$0$ with $MP#D$Henry," 
117:161,14['  ]| was 
117:161,15['  ]| her observation to$4$ $MP#C$Mary. 
117:161,16[C  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say she is," 
117:161,16['  ]| replied $MP#C$Mary, coldly. 
117:161,16[C  ]| "I imagine 
117:161,17[C  ]| both sisters are." 
117:161,18[N  ]| "Both! no$7$, no$7$, that$6#2$ must not be. Do not give him 
117:161,19[N  ]| a hint$0$ of it. Think of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth." 
117:161,20[C  ]| "You had better tell $MP#H$Miss*Bertram to$9$ think of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth. 
117:161,21[C  ]| It may$1$ do \her\ some good. I often think of 
117:161,22[C  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's property and independence, and wish$1$ 
117:161,23[C  ]| them in$4$ other hands ~~ but I never think of \him\. A man 
117:161,24[C  ]| might represent the county with such an estate; a man 
117:161,25[C  ]| might escape$1$ a profession$0#2$ and represent the county." 
117:161,26[N  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say he \will$1$\ be in$4$ parliament soon. When $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
117:161,27[N  ]| comes, I dare$1#2$ say he will$1$ be in$5$ for$4$ some borough, 
117:161,28[N  ]| but there has been nobody to$9$ put him in$4$ the way of doing 
117:161,29[N  ]| any*thing yet." 
117:161,30[C  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas is to$9$ achieve mighty things when he comes 
117:161,31[C  ]| home," 
117:161,31['  ]| said $MP#C$Mary, after$4$ a pause$0$. 
117:161,31[C  ]| "Do you remember 
117:161,32[C  ]| $MP#Z1$Hawkins*Browne's ""Address*to*Tobacco,"" in$4$ imitation 
117:161,33[C  ]| of $MP#Z1$Pope? ~~ 
117:161,34@z   | ""Blest leaf! whose$6#1$ aromatic gales dispense 
117:161,35@z   | To$4$ Templars modesty, to$4$ Parsons sense."" 
117:161,36[C  ]| I will$1$ parody them: 
117:161,37[C  ]| Blest Knight! whose$6#1$ dictatorial looks$0$ dispense 
117:161,38[C  ]| To$4$ Children affluence, to$4$ $MP#K$Rushworth sense. 
117:162,01[C  ]| Will$1$ not that$6#2$ do, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant? Every*thing seems to$9$ 
117:162,02[C  ]| depend upon$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's return$0$." 
117:162,03[N  ]| "You will$1$ find his consequence very just$2$ and reasonable 
117:162,04[N  ]| when you see him in$4$ his family, I assure you. I do not 
117:162,05[N  ]| think we do so$5#1$ well$5$ without him. He has a fine dignified 
117:162,06[N  ]| manner, which$6#1$ suits the head$0$ of such a house, and keeps 
117:162,07[N  ]| every*body in$4$ their place$0$. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram seems more 
117:162,08[N  ]| of a cipher now than when he is at home; and nobody 
117:162,09[N  ]| else can keep $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris in$4$ order. But, $MP#C$Mary, do not 
117:162,10[N  ]| fancy$1$ that$3$ $MP#H$Maria*Bertram cares$1$ for$4$ $MP#D$Henry. I am sure 
117:162,11[N  ]| \$MP#I$Julia\ does not, or she would not have flirted as she did 
117:162,12[N  ]| last$2$ night with $MP#R$Mr%*Yates; and though he and $MP#H$Maria are 
117:162,13[N  ]| very good friends, I think she likes Sotherton too$5#1$ well$5$ to$9$ 
117:162,14[N  ]| be inconstant." 
117:162,15[C  ]| "I would not give much for$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's chance$0$, 
117:162,16[C  ]| if $MP#D$Henry stept in$5$ before$3$ the articles were signed." 
117:162,17[N  ]| "If you have such a suspicion, something must be done, 
117:162,18[N  ]| and as soon as the play$0$ is all over, we will$1$ talk$1$ to$4$ him 
117:162,19[N  ]| seriously, and make$1$ him know his own$2$ mind$0$; and if he 
117:162,20[N  ]| means$1$ nothing, we will$1$ send him off, though he is $MP#D$Henry, 
117:162,21[N  ]| for$4$ a time." 
117:162,22['  ]| $MP#I$Julia \did\ suffer, however, though $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant discerned 
117:162,23['  ]| it not, and though it escaped the notice$0$ of many of her 
117:162,24['  ]| own$2$ family likewise. She had loved, she did love$1$ still$5$, 
117:162,25['  ]| and she had all the suffering which$6#1$ a warm$2$ temper and 
117:162,26['  ]| a high spirit were likely to$9$ endure under the disappointment 
117:162,27['  ]| of a dear$2#1$, though irrational hope$0$, with a strong 
117:162,28['  ]| sense of ill-usage. Her heart was sore and angry, and 
117:162,29['  ]| she was capable only of angry consolations. The sister 
117:162,30['  ]| with whom$6#1$ she was used to$9$ be on$4$ easy terms, was now 
117:162,31['  ]| become her greatest enemy; they were alienated from 
117:162,32['  ]| each other, and $MP#I$Julia was not superior to$4$ the hope$0$ of some 
117:162,33['  ]| distressing end$0$ to$4$ the attentions which$6#1$ were still$5$ carrying 
117:162,34['  ]| on$5$ there, some punishment to$4$ $MP#H$Maria for$4$ conduct$0$ so$5#1$ 
117:162,35['  ]| shameful towards herself, as well$5$ as towards $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth. 
117:162,36['  ]| With no$2$ material$2$ fault of temper, or difference 
117:162,37['  ]| of opinion, to$9$ prevent their being$1$ very good friends while$3$ 
117:162,38['  ]| their interests$0$ were the same, the sisters, under such 
117:163,01['  ]| a trial as this, had not affection or principle enough to$9$ 
117:163,02['  ]| make$1$ them merciful or just$2$, to$9$ give them honour$0$ or 
117:163,03['  ]| compassion. $MP#H$Maria felt her triumph$0$, and pursued her 
117:163,04['  ]| purpose careless of $MP#I$Julia; and $MP#I$Julia could never see 
117:163,05['  ]| $MP#H$Maria distinguished by$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, without trusting 
117:163,06['  ]| that$3$ it would create jealousy, and bring a public$2$ disturbance 
117:163,07['  ]| at last$0$. 
117:163,08['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny saw and pitied much of this in$4$ $MP#I$Julia; but there 
117:163,09['  ]| was no$2$ outward fellowship between them. $MP#I$Julia made 
117:163,10['  ]| no$2$ communication, and $MP#A$Fanny took no$2$ liberties. They 
117:163,11['  ]| were two solitary sufferers, or connected only by$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's 
117:163,12['  ]| consciousness. 
117:163,13['  ]| The inattention of the two brothers and the aunt to$4$ 
117:163,14['  ]| $MP#I$Julia's discomposure, and their blindness to$4$ its true 
117:163,15['  ]| cause, must be imputed to$4$ the fulness of their own$2$ minds. 
117:163,16['  ]| They were totally pre-occupied. $MP#G$Tom was engrossed by$4$ 
117:163,17['  ]| the concerns$0$ of his theatre, and saw nothing that$6#1$ did not 
117:163,18['  ]| immediately relate to$4$ it. $MP#B$Edmund, between his theatrical 
117:163,19['  ]| and his real part$0$, between $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's claims and his 
117:163,20['  ]| own$2$ conduct$0$, between love$0$ and consistency, was equally 
117:163,21['  ]| unobservant; and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was too$5#1$ busy in$4$ contriving 
117:163,22['  ]| and directing the general$2$ little matters of the 
117:163,23['  ]| company, superintending their various dresses$0$ with 
117:163,24['  ]| economical expedient$0$, for$4$ which$6#1$ nobody thanked her, and 
117:163,25['  ]| saving, with delighted integrity, half-a-crown here and 
117:163,26['  ]| there to$4$ the absent $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, to$9$ have leisure for$4$ 
117:163,27['  ]| watching the behaviour, or guarding the happiness of 
117:163,28['  ]| his daughters. 
118:164,01['  ]| Every*thing was now in$4$ a regular train; theatre, actors, 
118:164,02['  ]| actresses, and dresses$0$, were all getting forward$5$: but 
118:164,03['  ]| though no$2$ other great impediments arose, $MP#A$Fanny found, 
118:164,04['  ]| before$3$ many days were past$1$, that$3$ it was not all uninterrupted 
118:164,05['  ]| enjoyment to$4$ the party themselves, and that$3$ she 
118:164,06['  ]| had not to$9$ witness$1$ the continuance of such unanimity and 
118:164,07['  ]| delight$0$, as had been almost too$5#1$ much for$4$ her at first. 
118:164,08['  ]| Every*body began to$9$ have their vexation. $MP#B$Edmund had 
118:164,09['  ]| many. Entirely against \his\ judgment, a scene painter 
118:164,10['  ]| arrived from town, and was at work$0$, much to$4$ the increase$0$ 
118:164,11['  ]| of the expenses, and what was worse, of the eclat of their 
118:164,12['  ]| proceedings; and his brother, instead of being$1$ really 
118:164,13['  ]| guided by$4$ him as to$4$ the privacy of the representation, was 
118:164,14['  ]| giving an invitation to$4$ every family who$6#1$ came in$4$ his way. 
118:164,15['  ]| $MP#G$Tom himself began to$9$ fret over the scene painter's slow 
118:164,16['  ]| progress, and to$9$ feel the miseries of waiting. He had 
118:164,17['  ]| learned his part$0$ ~~ all his parts ~~ for$3$ he took every trifling 
118:164,18['  ]| one that$6#1$ could be united with the $MP#ZZQ$Butler, and began to$9$ be 
118:164,19['  ]| impatient to$9$ be acting; and every day thus unemployed, 
118:164,20['  ]| was tending to$9$ increase$1$ his sense of the insignificance of all 
118:164,21['  ]| his parts together, and make$1$ him more ready to$9$ regret$1$ 
118:164,22['  ]| that$3$ some other play$0$ had not been chosen. 
118:164,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, being$1$ always a very courteous listener, and often 
118:164,24['  ]| the only listener at hand$0$, came in$5$ for$4$ the complaints and 
118:164,25['  ]| distresses of most of them. \She\ knew that$3$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates was 
118:164,26['  ]| in$4$ general$0$ thought$1$ to$9$ rant$1$ dreadfully, that$3$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates was 
118:164,27['  ]| disappointed in$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, that$3$ $MP#G$Tom*Bertram spoke 
118:164,28['  ]| so$5#1$ quick$2$ he would be unintelligible, that$3$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant spoilt 
118:164,29['  ]| every*thing by$4$ laughing, that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund was behind-hand 
118:164,30['  ]| with his part$0$, and that$3$ it was misery to$9$ have any*thing to$9$ 
118:164,31['  ]| do with $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, who$6#1$ was wanting a prompter 
118:164,32['  ]| through$4$ every speech. She knew, also, that$3$ poor 
118:164,33['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth could seldom get any*body to$9$ rehearse 
118:165,01['  ]| with him; \his\ complaint came before$4$ her as well$5$ as the 
118:165,02['  ]| rest$0#1$; and so$5#1$ decided to$4$ her eye was her cousin $MP#H$Maria's 
118:165,03['  ]| avoidance of him, and so$5#1$ needlessly often the rehearsal of 
118:165,04['  ]| the first scene between her and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, that$3$ she had 
118:165,05['  ]| soon all the terror of other complaints from \him\. ~~ So$5#1$ far 
118:165,06['  ]| from being$1$ all satisfied and all enjoying, she found every*body 
118:165,07['  ]| requiring something they had not, and giving 
118:165,08['  ]| occasion$0$ of discontent to$4$ the others. ~~ Every*body had 
118:165,09['  ]| a part$0$ either too$5#1$ long or too$5#1$ short; ~~ nobody would attend 
118:165,10['  ]| as they ought, nobody would remember on$4$ which$6#1$ side$0$ they 
118:165,11['  ]| were to$9$ come in$5$ ~~ nobody but the complainer would 
118:165,12['  ]| observe any directions. 
118:165,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny believed herself to$9$ derive as much innocent 
118:165,14['  ]| enjoyment from the play$0$ as any of them; ~~ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
118:165,15['  ]| acted well$5$, and it was a pleasure to$4$ \her\ to$9$ creep into 
118:165,16['  ]| the theatre, and attend the rehearsal of the first act$0$ ~~ in$4$ 
118:165,17['  ]| spite$8$ of the feelings it excited in$4$ some speeches for$4$ $MP#H$Maria. ~~ 
118:165,18['  ]| $MP#H$Maria she also thought$1$ acted well$5$ ~~ too$5#1$ well$5$; ~~ and after$4$ 
118:165,19['  ]| the first rehearsal or two, $MP#A$Fanny began to$9$ be their only 
118:165,20['  ]| audience, and ~~ sometimes as prompter, sometimes as spectator ~~ 
118:165,21['  ]| was often very useful. ~~ 
118:165,21@a   | As far as she could judge$1$, 
118:165,22@a   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was considerably the best actor of all; he 
118:165,23@a   | had more confidence than $MP#B$Edmund, more judgment than 
118:165,24@a   | $MP#G$Tom, more talent and taste than $MP#R$Mr%*Yates. ~~ She did not 
118:165,25@a   | like$1$ him as a man, but she must admit him to$9$ be the best 
118:165,26@a   | actor, 
118:165,26['  ]| and on$4$ this point$0$ there were not many who$6#1$ differed 
118:165,27['  ]| from her. $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, indeed, exclaimed against his 
118:165,28['  ]| tameness and insipidity ~~ and the day came at last$0$, when 
118:165,29['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth turned to$4$ her with a black look$0$, and 
118:165,30['  ]| said ~~ 
118:165,30[K  ]| "Do you think there is any*thing so$5#1$ very fine in$4$ all 
118:165,31[K  ]| this? For$4$ the life and soul of me, I cannot admire him; ~~ 
118:165,32[K  ]| and between ourselves, to$9$ see such an undersized, little, 
118:165,33[K  ]| mean-looking man, set$1$ up$5$ for$4$ a fine actor, is very ridiculous 
118:165,34[K  ]| in$4$ my opinion." 
118:165,35['  ]| From this moment there was a return$0$ of his former 
118:165,36['  ]| jealousy, which$6#1$ $MP#H$Maria, from increasing hopes$0$ of $MP#D$Crawford, 
118:165,37['  ]| was at little pains to$9$ remove$1$; and the chances of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
118:165,38['  ]| ever attaining to$4$ the knowledge of his two*and*forty 
118:166,01['  ]| speeches became much less. As to$4$ his ever making 
118:166,02['  ]| any*thing \tolerable\ of them, nobody had the smallest idea 
118:166,03['  ]| of that$6#2$ except his mother ~~ \She\, indeed, regretted that$3$ his 
118:166,04['  ]| part$0$ was not more considerable, and deferred coming over 
118:166,05['  ]| to$4$ Mansfield till they were forward$5$ enough in$4$ their rehearsal 
118:166,06['  ]| to$9$ comprehend all his scenes, but the others aspired at 
118:166,07['  ]| nothing beyond$4$ his remembering the catchword, and the 
118:166,08['  ]| first line of his speech, and being$1$ able to$9$ follow the prompter 
118:166,09['  ]| through$4$ the rest$0#1$. $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ her pity$0$ and kind-heartedness, 
118:166,10['  ]| was at great pains to$9$ teach him how to$9$ learn, giving 
118:166,11['  ]| him all the helps and directions in$4$ her power, trying$1$ to$9$ 
118:166,12['  ]| make$1$ an artificial memory for$4$ him, and learning every word 
118:166,13['  ]| of his part$0$ herself, but without his being$1$ much the 
118:166,14['  ]| forwarder. 
118:166,15['  ]| Many uncomfortable, anxious, apprehensive feelings she 
118:166,16['  ]| certainly had; but with all these, and other claims on$4$ her 
118:166,17['  ]| time and attention, she was as far from finding herself 
118:166,18['  ]| without employment or utility amongst them, as without 
118:166,19['  ]| a companion in$4$ uneasiness; quite as far from having no$2$ 
118:166,20['  ]| demand$0$ on$4$ her leisure as on$4$ her compassion. The gloom 
118:166,21['  ]| of her first anticipations was proved to$9$ have been unfounded. 
118:166,22['  ]| She was occasionally useful to$4$ all; she was 
118:166,23['  ]| perhaps as much at peace as any. 
118:166,24['  ]| There was a great deal$0$ of needle-work to$9$ be done moreover, 
118:166,25['  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ her help$0$ was wanted; and that$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
118:166,26['  ]| thought$1$ her quite as well$5$ off as the rest$0#1$, was evident by$4$ 
118:166,27['  ]| the manner in$4$ which$6#1$ she claimed it: 
118:166,27[J  ]| "Come $MP#A$Fanny," 
118:166,27['  ]| she 
118:166,28['  ]| cried, 
118:166,28[J  ]| "these are fine times for$4$ you, but you must not be 
118:166,29[J  ]| always walking from one room to$4$ the other and doing the 
118:166,30[J  ]| lookings on$5$, at your ease$0$, in$4$ this way, ~~ I want$1$ you here. 
118:166,31[J  ]| ~~ I have been slaving myself till I can hardly stand$1$, to$9$ 
118:166,32[J  ]| contrive $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's cloak without sending for$4$ any 
118:166,33[J  ]| more satin; and now I think you may$1$ give me your help$0$ 
118:166,34[J  ]| in$4$ putting it together. ~~ There are but three seams, you 
118:166,35[J  ]| may$1$ do them in$4$ a trice. ~~ It would be lucky for$4$ me if 
118:166,36[J  ]| I had nothing but the executive part$0$ to$9$ do. ~~ \You\ are best 
118:166,37[J  ]| off, I can tell you; but if nobody did more than \you\, we 
118:166,38[J  ]| should not get on$5$ very fast." 
118:167,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny took the work$0$ very quietly without attempting 
118:167,02['  ]| any defence; but her kinder aunt $MP#F$Bertram observed on$4$ 
118:167,03['  ]| her behalf, 
118:167,04[F  ]| "One cannot wonder$1$, sister, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny \should\ be 
118:167,05[F  ]| delighted; it is all new to$4$ her, you know, ~~ you and I used 
118:167,06[F  ]| to$9$ be very fond of a play$0$ ourselves ~~ and so$5#2$ am I still$5$; ~~ 
118:167,07[F  ]| and as soon as I am a little more at leisure, \I\ mean$1$ to$9$ look$1$ 
118:167,08[F  ]| in$5$ at their rehearsals too$5#2$. What is the play$0$ about$4$, $MP#A$Fanny, 
118:167,09[F  ]| you have never told me?" 
118:167,10[J  ]| "Oh! sister, pray do not ask her now; for$3$ $MP#A$Fanny is not 
118:167,11[J  ]| one of those who$6#1$ can talk$1$ and work$1$ at the same time. ~~ It is 
118:167,12[J  ]| about$4$ Lovers' Vows." 
118:167,13[A  ]| "I believe" 
118:167,13['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ her aunt $MP#F$Bertram, 
118:167,13[A  ]| "there will$1$ 
118:167,14[A  ]| be three acts$0$ rehearsed to-morrow evening, and that$6#2$ will$1$ 
118:167,15[A  ]| give you an opportunity of seeing all the actors at once." 
118:167,16[J  ]| "You had better stay$1$ till the curtain is hung," 
118:167,16['  ]| interposed 
118:167,17['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris ~~ 
118:167,17[J  ]| "the curtain will$1$ be hung in$4$ a day or 
118:167,18[J  ]| two, ~~ there is very little sense in$4$ a play$0$ without a curtain 
118:167,19[J  ]| ~~ and I am much mistaken if you do not find it draw up$5$ 
118:167,20[J  ]| into very handsome festoons." 
118:167,21['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram seemed quite resigned to$4$ waiting. ~~ 
118:167,22['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny did not share$1$ her aunt's composure; she thought$1$ 
118:167,23['  ]| of the morrow a great deal$0$, ~~ 
118:167,23@a   | for$3$ if the three acts$0$ were 
118:167,24@a   | rehearsed, $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford would then be 
118:167,25@a   | acting together for$4$ the first time; ~~ the third act$0$ would 
118:167,26@a   | bring a scene between them which$6#1$ interested her most 
118:167,27@a   | particularly, and which$6#1$ she was longing and dreading to$9$ 
118:167,28@a   | see how they would perform. The whole$2$ subject$0$ of it was 
118:167,29@a   | love$0$ ~~ a marriage of love$0$ was to$9$ be described by$4$ the gentleman, 
118:167,30@a   | and very little short of a declaration of love$0$ be made 
118:167,31@a   | by$4$ the lady. 
118:167,32@a   | She had read, and read the scene again with many 
118:167,33@a   | painful, many wondering emotions, and looked forward$5$ 
118:167,34@a   | to$4$ their representation of it as a circumstance almost too$5#1$ 
118:167,35@a   | interesting. She did not \believe\ they had yet rehearsed it, 
118:167,36@a   | even$5$ in$4$ private$0$. 
118:167,37['  ]| The morrow came, the plan for$4$ the evening continued, 
118:167,38['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny's consideration of it did not become less 
118:168,01['  ]| agitated. She worked very diligently under her aunt's 
118:168,02['  ]| directions, but her diligence and her silence$0$ concealed a 
118:168,03['  ]| very absent, anxious mind$0$; and about$4$ noon she made her 
118:168,04['  ]| escape$0$ with her work$0$ to$4$ the East*room, that$3$ she might 
118:168,05['  ]| have no$2$ concern$0$ in$4$ another, and, as she deemed it, most 
118:168,06['  ]| unnecessary rehearsal of the first act$0$, which$6#1$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
118:168,07['  ]| was just$5$ proposing, desirous at once of having her time 
118:168,08['  ]| to$4$ herself, and of avoiding the sight of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth. 
118:168,09['  ]| A glimpse, as she passed through$4$ the hall, of the two ladies 
118:168,10['  ]| walking up$5$ from the parsonage, made no$2$ change$0$ in$4$ her 
118:168,11['  ]| wish$0$ of retreat$0$, and she worked and meditated in$4$ the East*room, 
118:168,12['  ]| undisturbed, for$4$ a quarter$0#1$ of an hour, when a gentle 
118:168,13['  ]| tap at the door was followed by$4$ the entrance of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. 
118:168,14['  ]| 
118:168,15[C  ]| "Am I right$2#1$? ~~ Yes; this is the East*room. My dear$2#1$ 
118:168,16[C  ]| $MP#A$Miss*Price, I beg your pardon$0$, but I have made my way to$4$ 
118:168,17[C  ]| you on$4$ purpose to$9$ entreat your help$0$." 
118:168,18['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, quite surprised, endeavoured to$9$ show$1$ herself 
118:168,19['  ]| mistress of the room by$4$ her civilities, and looked at the 
118:168,20['  ]| bright bars of her empty$2$ grate with concern$0$. 
118:168,21[C  ]| "Thank you ~~ I am quite warm$2$, very warm$2$. Allow 
118:168,22[C  ]| me to$9$ stay$1$ here a little while$0$, and do have the goodness to$9$ 
118:168,23[C  ]| hear me my third act$0$. I have brought my book, and if 
118:168,24[C  ]| you would but rehearse it with me, I should be \so$5#1$\ obliged! 
118:168,25[C  ]| I came here to-day intending to$9$ rehearse it with $MP#B$Edmund ~~ 
118:168,26[C  ]| by$4$ ourselves ~~ against the evening, but he is not in$4$ the way; 
118:168,27[C  ]| and if he \were\, I do not think I could go through$4$ it with 
118:168,28[C  ]| \him\, till I have hardened myself a little, for$3$ really there \is\ 
118:168,29[C  ]| a speech or two ~~ You will$1$ be so$5#1$ good, won't you?" 
118:168,30['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was most civil in$4$ her assurances, though she 
118:168,31['  ]| could not give them in$4$ a very steady voice. 
118:168,32[C  ]| "Have you ever happened to$9$ look$1$ at the part$0$ I mean$1$?" 
118:168,33['  ]| continued $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, opening her book. 
118:168,33[C  ]| "Here it is. 
118:168,34[C  ]| I did not think much of it at first ~~ but, upon$4$ my word ~~ . 
118:168,35[C  ]| There, look$1$ at \that$6#2$\ speech, and \that$6#2$\, and \that$6#2$\.  How am 
118:168,36[C  ]| I ever to$9$ look$1$ him in$4$ the face$0$ and say such things? Could 
118:168,37[C  ]| you do it? But then he is your cousin, which$6#1$ makes all the 
118:168,38[C  ]| difference. You must rehearse it with me, that$3$ I may$1$ 
118:169,01[C  ]| fancy$1$ \you\ him, and get on$5$ by$4$ degrees. You \have\ a look$0$ of 
118:169,02[C  ]| \his\ sometimes." 
118:169,03[A  ]| "Have I? ~~ I will$1$ do my best with the greatest readiness 
118:169,04[A  ]| ~~ but I must \read\ the part$0$, for$3$ I can \say\ very little of it." 
118:169,05[C  ]| "\None\ of it, I suppose. You are to$9$ have the book of 
118:169,06[C  ]| course$8$. Now for$4$ it. We must have two chairs at hand$0$ 
118:169,07[C  ]| for$4$ you to$9$ bring forward$5$ to$4$ the front$0$ of the stage$0#2$. There 
118:169,08[C  ]| ~~ very good school-room chairs, not made for$4$ a theatre, 
118:169,09[C  ]| I dare$1#2$ say; much more fitted for$4$ little girls to$9$ sit and kick 
118:169,10[C  ]| their feet against when they are learning a lesson. What 
118:169,11[C  ]| would your governess and your uncle say to$9$ see them 
118:169,12[C  ]| used for$4$ such a purpose? Could $MP#E$Sir*Thomas look$1$ in$5$ upon$4$ 
118:169,13[C  ]| us just$5$ now, he would bless himself, for$3$ we are rehearsing 
118:169,14[C  ]| all over the house. $MP#R$Yates is storming away in$4$ the dining*room. 
118:169,15[C  ]| I heard him as I came up*stairs, and the theatre 
118:169,16[C  ]| is engaged of course$8$ by$4$ those indefatigable rehearsers, 
118:169,17[C  ]| $MP#ZZU$Agatha and $MP#ZZP$Frederick. If \they\ are not perfect$2$, I \shall\ 
118:169,18[C  ]| be surprised. By*the*bye, I looked in$5$ upon$4$ them five 
118:169,19[C  ]| minutes ago, and it happened to$9$ be exactly at one of the 
118:169,20[C  ]| times when they were trying$1$ \not\ to$9$ embrace$1$, and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
118:169,21[C  ]| was with me. I thought$1$ he began to$9$ look$1$ a little 
118:169,22[C  ]| queer, so$3$ I turned it off as well$5$ as I could, by$4$ whispering to$4$ 
118:169,23[C  ]| him, ""We shall have an excellent $MP#ZZU$Agatha, there is something 
118:169,24[C  ]| so$5#1$ \maternal\ in$4$ her manner, so$5#1$ completely \maternal\ in$4$ 
118:169,25[C  ]| her voice and countenance."" Was not that$6#2$ well$5$ done of 
118:169,26[C  ]| me? He brightened up$5$ directly. Now for$4$ my soliloquy." 
118:169,27['  ]| She began, and $MP#A$Fanny joined in$5$ with all the modest 
118:169,28['  ]| feeling which$6#1$ the idea of representing $MP#B$Edmund was so$5#1$ 
118:169,29['  ]| strongly calculated to$9$ inspire; but with looks$0$ and voice so$5#1$ 
118:169,30['  ]| truly feminine, as to$9$ be no$2$ very good picture$0$ of a man. 
118:169,31['  ]| With such an $MP#ZZO$Anhalt, however, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford had courage 
118:169,32['  ]| enough, and they had got through$4$ half the scene, when 
118:169,33['  ]| a tap at the door brought a pause$0$, and the entrance of 
118:169,34['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund the next moment, suspended it all. 
118:169,35['  ]| Surprise$0$, consciousness, and pleasure, appeared in$4$ each 
118:169,36['  ]| of the three on$4$ this unexpected meeting; and as $MP#B$Edmund 
118:169,37['  ]| was come on$4$ the very same business that$6#1$ had brought 
118:169,38['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, consciousness and pleasure were likely to$9$ 
118:170,01['  ]| be more than momentary in$4$ \them\. He too$5#2$ had his book, 
118:170,02['  ]| and was seeking $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ ask her to$9$ rehearse with him, 
118:170,03['  ]| and help$1$ him prepare for$4$ the evening, without knowing 
118:170,04['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford to$9$ be in$4$ the house; and great was the joy 
118:170,05['  ]| and animation of being$1$ thus thrown together ~~ of comparing 
118:170,06['  ]| schemes ~~ and sympathizing in$4$ praise$0$ of $MP#A$Fanny's kind$2$ 
118:170,07['  ]| offices. 
118:170,08@a   | \She\ could not equal$1$ them in$4$ their warmth. \Her\ spirits 
118:170,09@a   | sank under the glow of theirs, and she felt herself becoming 
118:170,10@a   | too$5#1$ nearly nothing to$4$ both, to$9$ have any comfort$0$ in$4$ 
118:170,11@a   | having been sought by$4$ either. 
118:170,11['  ]| They must now rehearse 
118:170,12['  ]| together. $MP#B$Edmund proposed, urged, entreated it ~~ till 
118:170,13['  ]| the lady, not very unwilling at first, could refuse no$2$ 
118:170,14['  ]| longer ~~ and $MP#A$Fanny was wanted only to$9$ prompt$1$ and 
118:170,15['  ]| observe them. She was invested, indeed, with the office 
118:170,16['  ]| of judge$0$ and critic, and earnestly desired to$9$ exercise$1$ it and 
118:170,17['  ]| tell them all their faults; 
118:170,17@a   | but from doing so$5#2$ every feeling 
118:170,18@a   | within her shrank, she could not, would not, dared not 
118:170,19@a   | attempt$1$ it; 
118:170,19['  ]| had she been otherwise qualified for$4$ criticism, 
118:170,20['  ]| her conscience must have restrained her from venturing at 
118:170,21['  ]| disapprobation. She believed herself to$9$ feel too$5#1$ much of 
118:170,22['  ]| it in$4$ the aggregate for$4$ honesty or safety in$4$ particulars. 
118:170,23@a   | To$9$ prompt$1$ them must be enough for$4$ her; and it was 
118:170,24@a   | sometimes \more\ than enough; 
118:170,24['  ]| for$3$ she could not always pay$1$ 
118:170,25['  ]| attention to$4$ the book. In$4$ watching them she forgot herself; 
118:170,26['  ]| and agitated by$4$ the increasing spirit of $MP#B$Edmund's manner, 
118:170,27['  ]| had once closed the page and turned away exactly as he 
118:170,28['  ]| wanted help$0$. It was imputed to$4$ very reasonable weariness, 
118:170,29['  ]| and she was thanked and pitied; but she deserved 
118:170,30['  ]| their pity$0$, more than she hoped they would ever surmise$1$. 
118:170,31['  ]| At last$0$ the scene was over, and $MP#A$Fanny forced herself to$9$ add 
118:170,32['  ]| her praise$0$ to$4$ the compliments each was giving the other; 
118:170,33['  ]| and when again alone and able to$9$ recall$1$ the whole$0$, 
118:170,33@a   | she was 
118:170,34@a   | inclined to$9$ believe their performance would, indeed, have 
118:170,35@a   | such nature and feeling in$4$ it, as must ensure their credit$0$, 
118:170,36@a   | and make$1$ it a very suffering exhibition to$4$ herself. Whatever 
118:170,37@a   | might be its effect$0$, however, she must stand$1$ the 
118:170,38@a   | brunt of it again that$6#2$ very day. 
118:171,01['  ]| The first regular rehearsal of the three first acts$0$ was 
118:171,02['  ]| certainly to$9$ take place$0$ in$4$ the evening; $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and the 
118:171,03['  ]| $MP#D1$Crawfords were engaged to$9$ return$1$ for$4$ that$6#2$ purpose as soon 
118:171,04['  ]| as they could after$4$ dinner; and every*one concerned was 
118:171,05['  ]| looking forward$5$ with eagerness. There seemed a general$2$ 
118:171,06['  ]| diffusion of cheerfulness on$4$ the occasion$0$; $MP#G$Tom was enjoying 
118:171,07['  ]| such an advance$0$ towards the end$0$, $MP#B$Edmund was in$4$ 
118:171,08['  ]| spirits from the morning's rehearsal, and little vexations 
118:171,09['  ]| seemed every*where smoothed away. All were alert$2$ and 
118:171,10['  ]| impatient; the ladies moved soon, the gentlemen soon 
118:171,11['  ]| followed them, and with the exception of $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
118:171,12['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, and $MP#I$Julia, every*body was in$4$ the theatre 
118:171,13['  ]| at an early hour, and having lighted it up$5$ as well$5$ as its 
118:171,14['  ]| unfinished state$0$ admitted, were waiting only the arrival 
118:171,15['  ]| of $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and the $MP#D1$Crawfords to$9$ begin. 
118:171,16['  ]| They did not wait long for$4$ the $MP#D1$Crawfords, but there was 
118:171,17['  ]| no$2$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant. She could not come. $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, professing 
118:171,18['  ]| an indisposition, for$4$ which$6#1$ he had little credit$0$ with his 
118:171,19['  ]| fair sister-in-law, could not spare$1$ his wife. 
118:171,20[C  ]| "$MP#M$Dr%*Grant is ill," 
118:171,20['  ]| said she, with mock solemnity. 
118:171,21[C  ]| "He has been ill ever since; he did not eat any of the 
118:171,22[C  ]| pheasant to*day. He fancied it tough ~~ sent away his plate 
118:171,23[C  ]| ~~ and has been suffering ever since." 
118:171,24['  ]| Here was disappointment! $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's non-attendance 
118:171,25['  ]| was sad indeed. Her pleasant manners and cheerful 
118:171,26['  ]| conformity made her always valuable amongst them ~~ but 
118:171,27['  ]| \now\ she was absolutely necessary. They could not act$1$, 
118:171,28['  ]| they could not rehearse with any satisfaction without her. 
118:171,29['  ]| The comfort$0$ of the whole$2$ evening was destroyed. What 
118:171,30['  ]| was to$9$ be done? $MP#G$Tom, as $MP#ZZS$Cottager, was in$4$ despair$0$. After$4$ 
118:171,31['  ]| a pause$0$ of perplexity, some eyes began to$9$ be turned 
118:171,32['  ]| towards $MP#A$Fanny, and a voice or two, to$9$ say, 
118:171,32[X  ]| "If $MP#A$Miss*Price 
118:171,33[X  ]| would be so$5#1$ good as to$9$ \read\ the part$0$." 
118:171,33['  ]| She was immediately 
118:171,34['  ]| surrounded by$4$ supplications, every*body asked it, 
118:171,35['  ]| even$5$ $MP#B$Edmund said, 
118:171,35[B  ]| "Do $MP#A$Fanny, if it is not \very\ disagreeable 
118:171,36[B  ]| to$4$ you." 
118:171,37['  ]| But $MP#A$Fanny still$5$ hung back$5$. She could not endure the 
118:171,38['  ]| idea of it. 
118:171,38@a   | Why was not $MP#C$Miss*Crawford to$9$ be applied to$5$ as 
118:172,01@a   | well$5$? Or why had not she rather gone to$4$ her own$2$ room, as 
118:172,02@a   | she had felt to$9$ be safest, instead of attending the rehearsal 
118:172,03@a   | at all? She had known it would irritate and distress$1$ her ~~ 
118:172,04@a   | she had known it her duty to$9$ keep away. She was properly 
118:172,05@a   | punished. 
118:172,06[D  ]| "You have only to$9$ \read\ the part$0$," 
118:172,06['  ]| said $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
118:172,07['  ]| with renewed entreaty. 
118:172,08[H  ]| "And I do believe she can say every word of it," 
118:172,08['  ]| added 
118:172,09['  ]| $MP#H$Maria, 
118:172,09[H  ]| "for$3$ she could put $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant right$2#1$ the other day 
118:172,10[H  ]| in$4$ twenty places$0$. $MP#A$Fanny, I am sure you know the part$0$." 
118:172,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not say she did \not\ ~~ 
118:172,11@a   | and as they all 
118:172,12@a   | persevered ~~ as $MP#B$Edmund repeated his wish$0$, and with a look$0$ 
118:172,13@a   | of even$5$ fond dependence on$4$ her good*nature, she must 
118:172,14@a   | yield. She would do her best. 
118:172,14['  ]| Every*body was satisfied 
118:172,15['  ]| ~~ and she was left to$4$ the tremors of a most palpitating 
118:172,16['  ]| heart, while$3$ the others prepared to$9$ begin. 
118:172,17['  ]| They \did\ begin ~~ and being$1$ too$5#1$ much engaged in$4$ their 
118:172,18['  ]| own$2$ noise, to$9$ be struck by$4$ unusual noise in$4$ the other part$0$ of 
118:172,19['  ]| the house, had proceeded some way, when the door of the 
118:172,20['  ]| room was thrown open$2$, and $MP#I$Julia appearing at it, with 
118:172,21['  ]| a face$0$ all aghast, exclaimed, 
118:172,21[I  ]| "My father is come! He is 
118:172,22[I  ]| in$4$ the hall at this moment." 
201:175,01['  ]| How is the consternation of the party to$9$ be described? 
201:175,02['  ]| To$4$ the greater number it was a moment of absolute horror. 
201:175,03['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas in$4$ the house! All felt the instantaneous 
201:175,04['  ]| conviction. Not a hope$0$ of imposition or mistake$0$ was 
201:175,05['  ]| harboured any*where. $MP#I$Julia's looks$0$ were an evidence 
201:175,06['  ]| of the fact that$6#1$ made it indisputable; and after$4$ the first 
201:175,07['  ]| starts and exclamations, not a word was spoken for$4$ half 
201:175,08['  ]| a minute$0$; each with an altered countenance was looking 
201:175,09['  ]| at some other, and almost each was feeling it a stroke the 
201:175,10['  ]| most unwelcome, most ill-timed, most appalling! $MP#R$Mr%*Yates 
201:175,11['  ]| might consider it only as a vexatious interruption 
201:175,12['  ]| for$4$ the evening, and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth might imagine it 
201:175,13['  ]| a blessing, but every other heart was sinking under some 
201:175,14['  ]| degree of self-condemnation or undefined alarm$0$, every 
201:175,15['  ]| other heart was suggesting 
201:175,15@x   | "What will$1$ become of us? 
201:175,16@x   | what is to$9$ be done now?" 
201:175,16['  ]| It was a terrible pause$0$; and 
201:175,17['  ]| terrible to$4$ every ear were the corroborating sounds$0$ of 
201:175,18['  ]| opening doors and passing footsteps. 
201:175,19['  ]| $MP#I$Julia was the first to$9$ move$1$ and speak again. Jealousy 
201:175,20['  ]| and bitterness had been suspended: selfishness was lost 
201:175,21['  ]| in$4$ the common$2$ cause; but at the moment of her appearance, 
201:175,22['  ]| $MP#ZZP$Frederick was listening with looks$0$ of devotion to$4$ 
201:175,23['  ]| $MP#ZZU$Agatha's narrative, and pressing her hand$0$ to$4$ his heart, 
201:175,24['  ]| and as soon as she could notice$1$ this, and see that$3$, in$4$ spite$8$ 
201:175,25['  ]| of the shock$0$ of her words, he still$5$ kept his station and 
201:175,26['  ]| retained her sister's hand$0$, her wounded heart swelled 
201:175,27['  ]| again with injury, and looking as red as she had been 
201:175,28['  ]| white before$5$, she turned out$5$ of the room, saying 
201:175,28[I  ]| "\I\ need$1$ 
201:175,29[I  ]| not be afraid of appearing before$4$ him." 
201:176,01['  ]| Her going roused the rest$0#1$; and at the same moment, 
201:176,02['  ]| the two brothers stepped forward$5$, feeling the necessity 
201:176,03['  ]| of doing something. A very few words between them 
201:176,04['  ]| were sufficient. The case admitted no$2$ difference of 
201:176,05['  ]| opinion; they must go to$4$ the drawing-room directly. 
201:176,06['  ]| $MP#H$Maria joined them with the same intent, just$5$ then the 
201:176,07['  ]| stoutest of the three; for$3$ the very circumstance which$6#1$ 
201:176,08['  ]| had driven $MP#I$Julia away, was to$4$ her the sweetest support$0$. 
201:176,09@h   | $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's retaining her hand$0$ at such a moment, 
201:176,10@h   | a moment of such peculiar proof and importance, was 
201:176,11@h   | worth ages of doubt$0$ and anxiety. 
201:176,11['  ]| She hailed it as an 
201:176,12['  ]| earnest of the most serious$2$ determination, and was equal$2$ 
201:176,13['  ]| even$5$ to$9$ encounter her father. They walked off, utterly 
201:176,14['  ]| heedless of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's repeated question$0$ of, 
201:176,14[K  ]| "Shall 
201:176,15[K  ]| I go too$5#2$? ~~ Had not I better go too$5#2$? ~~ will$1$ not it be 
201:176,16[K  ]| right$2#1$ for$4$ me to$9$ go too$5#2$?" 
201:176,16['  ]| but they were no$2$ sooner through$4$ 
201:176,17['  ]| the door than $MP#D$Henry*Crawford undertook to$9$ answer$1$ the 
201:176,18['  ]| anxious inquiry, and encouraging him by$4$ all means$0$ to$9$ pay$1$ 
201:176,19['  ]| his respects to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas without delay$0$, sent him after$4$ 
201:176,20['  ]| the others with delighted haste. 
201:176,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was left with only the $MP#D1$Crawfords and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates. 
201:176,22['  ]| She had been quite overlooked by$4$ her cousins; and as 
201:176,23['  ]| her own$2$ opinion of her claims on$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's affection 
201:176,24['  ]| was much too$5#1$ humble$2$ to$9$ give her any idea of classing herself 
201:176,25['  ]| with his children, she was glad to$9$ remain behind and 
201:176,26['  ]| gain$1$ a little breathing time. Her agitation and alarm$0$ 
201:176,27['  ]| exceeded all that$6#1$ was endured by$4$ the rest$0#1$, by$4$ the right$0$ 
201:176,28['  ]| of a disposition which$6#1$ not even$5$ innocence could keep from 
201:176,29['  ]| suffering. She was nearly fainting: all her former habitual 
201:176,30['  ]| dread$0$ of her uncle was returning, and with it compassion 
201:176,31['  ]| for$4$ him and for$4$ almost every one of the party 
201:176,32['  ]| on$4$ the development before$4$ him ~~ with solicitude on$4$ 
201:176,33['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's account$0$ indescribable. She had found a seat, 
201:176,34['  ]| where in$4$ excessive trembling she was enduring all these 
201:176,35['  ]| fearful thoughts, while$3$ the other three, no$2$ longer under 
201:176,36['  ]| any restraint, were giving vent to$4$ their feelings of vexation, 
201:176,37['  ]| lamenting over such an unlooked-for premature 
201:176,38['  ]| arrival as a most untoward event, and without mercy 
201:177,01['  ]| wishing poor $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had been twice as long on$4$ his 
201:177,02['  ]| passage, or were still$5$ in$4$ Antigua. 
201:177,03['  ]| The $MP#D1$Crawfords were more warm$2$ on$4$ the subject$0$ than 
201:177,04['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, from better understanding the family and 
201:177,05['  ]| judging more clearly of the mischief that$6#1$ must ensue. 
201:177,05@y   | The 
201:177,06@y   | ruin$0$ of the play$0$ was to$4$ them a certainty, they felt the 
201:177,07@y   | total destruction of the scheme$0$ to$9$ be inevitably at hand$0$; 
201:177,08['  ]| while$3$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates considered it only as a temporary interruption,
201:177,09['  ]| a disaster for$4$ the evening, and could even$5$ suggest 
201:177,10['  ]| the possibility of the rehearsal being$1$ renewed after$4$ tea, 
201:177,11['  ]| when the bustle$0$ of receiving $MP#E$Sir*Thomas were over and he 
201:177,12['  ]| might be at leisure to$9$ be amused by$4$ it. The $MP#D1$Crawfords
201:177,13['  ]| laughed at the idea; and having soon agreed on$4$ the propriety 
201:177,14['  ]| of their walking quietly home and leaving the 
201:177,15['  ]| family to$4$ themselves, proposed $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's accompanying 
201:177,16['  ]| them and spending the evening at the Parsonage. But 
201:177,17['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, having never been with those who$6#1$ thought$1$ 
201:177,18['  ]| much of parental claims, or family confidence, could not 
201:177,19['  ]| perceive that$3$ any*thing of the kind$0$ was necessary, and 
201:177,20['  ]| therefore, thanking them, said, 
201:177,20[R  ]| "he preferred remaining 
201:177,21[R  ]| where he was that$3$ he might pay$1$ his respects to$4$ the old 
201:177,22[R  ]| gentleman handsomely since he \was\ come; and besides, 
201:177,23[R  ]| he did not think it would be fair by$4$ the others to$9$ have 
201:177,24[R  ]| every*body run$1$ away." 
201:177,25['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was just$5$ beginning to$9$ collect herself, and to$9$ feel 
201:177,26['  ]| that$3$ if she staid longer behind it might seem disrespectful, 
201:177,27['  ]| when this point$0$ was settled, and being$1$ commissioned with 
201:177,28['  ]| the brother and sister's apology, saw them preparing to$9$ 
201:177,29['  ]| go as she quitted the room herself to$9$ perform the dreadful 
201:177,30['  ]| duty of appearing before$4$ her uncle. 
201:177,31@a   | Too$5#1$ soon did she find herself at the drawing-room door, 
201:177,32@a   | and after$4$ pausing a moment for$4$ what she knew would not 
201:177,33@a   | come, for$4$ a courage which$6#1$ the outside of no$2$ door had ever 
201:177,34@a   | supplied to$4$ her, she turned the lock$0$ in$4$ desperation, and 
201:177,35@a   | the lights of the drawing-room and all the collected family 
201:177,36@a   | were before$4$ her. 
201:177,36['  ]| As she entered, her own$2$ name$0$ caught 
201:177,37['  ]| her ear. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was at that$6#2$ moment looking round$4$ 
201:177,38['  ]| him, and saying 
201:177,38[E  ]| "But where is $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ Why do not I 
201:178,01[E  ]| see my little $MP#A$Fanny?", 
201:178,01['  ]| and on$4$ perceiving her, came forward$5$ 
201:178,02['  ]| with a kindness which$6#1$ astonished and penetrated 
201:178,03['  ]| her, calling her his dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, kissing her affectionately, 
201:178,04['  ]| and observing with decided pleasure how much she was 
201:178,05['  ]| grown! $MP#A$Fanny knew not how to$9$ feel, nor where to$9$ look$1$. 
201:178,06['  ]| She was quite oppressed. 
201:178,06@a   | He had never been so$5#1$ kind$2$, so$5#1$ 
201:178,07@a   | \very\ kind$2$ to$4$ her in$4$ his life. His manner seemed changed; 
201:178,08@a   | his voice was quick$2$ from the agitation of joy, and all that$6#1$ 
201:178,09@a   | had been awful in$4$ his dignity seemed lost in$4$ tenderness. 
201:178,10['  ]| He led her nearer the light$0$ and looked at her again ~~ 
201:178,11['  ]| inquired particularly after$4$ her health, and then correcting 
201:178,12['  ]| himself, observed, that$3$ 
201:178,12@e   | he need$1$ \not\ inquire, for$3$ her 
201:178,13@e   | appearance spoke sufficiently on$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$. 
201:178,13['  ]| A fine blush$0$ 
201:178,14['  ]| having succeeded the previous paleness of her face$0$, he 
201:178,15['  ]| was justified in$4$ his belief of her equal$2$ improvement in$4$ 
201:178,16['  ]| health and beauty. He inquired next after$4$ her family, 
201:178,17['  ]| especially $MP#Q$William; 
201:178,17@a   | and his kindness altogether was such 
201:178,18@a   | as made her reproach$1$ herself for$4$ loving him so$5#1$ little, and 
201:178,19@a   | thinking his return$0$ a misfortune; and when, on$4$ having 
201:178,20@a   | courage to$9$ lift her eyes to$4$ his face$0$, she saw that$3$ he was 
201:178,21@a   | grown thinner and had the burnt, fagged, worn look$0$ of 
201:178,22@a   | fatigue$0$ and a hot climate, every tender$2$ feeling was increased, 
201:178,23@a   | and she was miserable in$4$ considering how much 
201:178,24@a   | unsuspected vexation was probably ready to$9$ burst$1$ on$4$ him. 
201:178,25['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was indeed the life of the party, who$6#1$ at his 
201:178,26['  ]| suggestion now seated themselves round$4$ the fire$0$. He 
201:178,27['  ]| had the best right$0$ to$9$ be the talker; and the delight$0$ of his 
201:178,28['  ]| sensations in$4$ being$1$ again in$4$ his own$2$ house, in$4$ the centre$0$ 
201:178,29['  ]| of his family, after$4$ such a separation, made him communicative 
201:178,30['  ]| and chatty in$4$ a very unusual degree; and he 
201:178,31['  ]| was ready to$9$ give every information as to$4$ his voyage, and 
201:178,32['  ]| answer$1$ every question$0$ of his two sons almost before$3$ it 
201:178,33['  ]| was put. 
201:178,33@e   | His business in$4$ Antigua had latterly been 
201:178,34@e   | prosperously rapid, and he came directly from Liverpool, 
201:178,35@e   | having had an opportunity of making his passage thither 
201:178,36@e   | in$4$ a private$2$ vessel, instead of waiting for$4$ the packet; 
201:178,36['  ]| and 
201:178,37['  ]| all the little particulars of his proceedings and events, his 
201:178,38['  ]| arrivals and departures, were most promptly delivered, 
201:179,01['  ]| as he sat by$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram and looked with heartfelt 
201:179,02['  ]| satisfaction on$4$ the faces around$4$ him ~~ interrupting himself 
201:179,03['  ]| more than once, however, to$9$ remark$1$ on$4$ 
201:179,03@e   | his good fortune 
201:179,04@e   | in$4$ finding them all at home ~~ coming unexpectedly 
201:179,05@e   | as he did ~~ all collected together exactly as he could have 
201:179,06@e   | wished, but dared not depend on$4$. 
201:179,06['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was 
201:179,07['  ]| not forgotten; a most friendly reception and warmth of 
201:179,08['  ]| hand-shaking had already met him, and with pointed 
201:179,09['  ]| attention he was now included in$4$ the objects$0$ most intimately 
201:179,10['  ]| connected with Mansfield. There was nothing 
201:179,11['  ]| disagreeable in$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's appearance, and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
201:179,12['  ]| was liking him already. 
201:179,13['  ]| By$4$ not one of the circle was he listened to$5$ with such 
201:179,14['  ]| unbroken unalloyed enjoyment as by$4$ his wife, who$6#1$ was 
201:179,15['  ]| really extremely happy to$9$ see him, and whose$6#1$ feelings 
201:179,16['  ]| were so$5#1$ warmed by$4$ his sudden$2$ arrival, as to$9$ place$1$ her 
201:179,17['  ]| nearer agitation than she had been for$4$ the last$2$ twenty 
201:179,18['  ]| years. She had been \almost\ fluttered for$4$ a few minutes, 
201:179,19['  ]| and still$5$ remained so$5#1$ sensibly animated as to$9$ put away 
201:179,20['  ]| her work$0$, move$1$ Pug from her side$0$, and give all her attention 
201:179,21['  ]| and all the rest$0#1$ of her sofa to$4$ her husband. She had 
201:179,22['  ]| no$2$ anxieties for$4$ any*body to$9$ cloud$1$ \her\ pleasure; her own$2$ 
201:179,23['  ]| time had been irreproachably spent during his absence; 
201:179,24['  ]| she had done a great deal$0$ of carpet work$0$ and made many 
201:179,25['  ]| yards of fringe; and she would have answered as freely 
201:179,26['  ]| for$4$ the good conduct$0$ and useful pursuits of all the young 
201:179,27['  ]| people as for$4$ her own$2$. It was so$5#1$ agreeable to$4$ her to$9$ see 
201:179,28['  ]| him again, and hear him talk$1$, to$9$ have her ear amused and 
201:179,29['  ]| her whole$2$ comprehension filled by$4$ his narratives, that$3$ 
201:179,30['  ]| she began 
201:179,30@f   | particularly to$9$ feel how dreadfully she must 
201:179,31@f   | have missed him, and how impossible it would have been 
201:179,32@f   | for$4$ her to$9$ bear$1$ a lengthened absence. 
201:179,33['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ to$9$ be compared in$4$ happiness 
201:179,34['  ]| to$4$ her sister. Not that$3$ \she\ was incommoded by$4$ 
201:179,35['  ]| many fears of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's disapprobation when the 
201:179,36['  ]| present$2$ state$0$ of his house should be known, for$3$ her 
201:179,37['  ]| judgment had been so$5#1$ blinded, that$3$ except by$4$ the instinctive 
201:179,38['  ]| caution$0$ with which$6#1$ she had whisked away 
201:180,01['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's pink satin cloak as her brother-in-law 
201:180,02['  ]| entered, she could hardly be said to$9$ shew$1$ any sign of 
201:180,03['  ]| alarm$0$; but she was vexed by$4$ the \manner\ of his return$0$. 
201:180,04['  ]| It had left her nothing to$9$ do. Instead of being$1$ sent for$5$ 
201:180,05['  ]| out$5$ of the room, and seeing him first, and having to$9$ 
201:180,06['  ]| spread the happy news through$4$ the house, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
201:180,07['  ]| with a very reasonable dependance perhaps on$4$ the nerves 
201:180,08['  ]| of his wife and children, had sought no$2$ confidant but the 
201:180,09['  ]| butler, and had been following him almost instantaneously 
201:180,10['  ]| into the drawing-room. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris felt herself 
201:180,11['  ]| defrauded of an office on$4$ which$6#1$ she had always depended, 
201:180,12['  ]| whether his arrival or his death were to$9$ be the thing 
201:180,13['  ]| unfolded; and was now trying$1$ to$9$ be in$4$ a bustle$0$ without 
201:180,14['  ]| having any*thing to$9$ bustle$1$ about$5$, and labouring to$9$ be 
201:180,15['  ]| important where nothing was wanted but tranquillity 
201:180,16['  ]| and silence$0$. Would $MP#E$Sir*Thomas have consented to$9$ eat, 
201:180,17['  ]| she might have gone to$4$ the house-keeper with troublesome 
201:180,18['  ]| directions, and insulted the footmen with injunctions 
201:180,19['  ]| of dispatch; but $MP#E$Sir*Thomas resolutely declined 
201:180,20['  ]| all dinner; 
201:180,20@e   | he would take nothing, nothing till tea came ~~ 
201:180,21@e   | he would rather wait for$4$ tea. 
201:180,21['  ]| Still$5$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was at 
201:180,22['  ]| intervals urging something different, and in$4$ the most 
201:180,23['  ]| interesting moment of his passage to$4$ England, when the 
201:180,24['  ]| alarm$0$ of a French privateer was at the height, she burst$1$ 
201:180,25['  ]| through$4$ his recital with the proposal of soup. 
201:180,25[J  ]| "Sure, 
201:180,26[J  ]| my dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, a basin of soup would be a much 
201:180,27[J  ]| better thing for$4$ you than tea. Do have a basin of soup." 
201:180,28['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could not be provoked. 
201:180,28[E  ]| "Still$5$ the same 
201:180,29[E  ]| anxiety for$4$ every*body's comfort$0$, my dear$2#1$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris," 
201:180,30['  ]| was his answer$0$. 
201:180,30[E  ]| "But indeed I would rather have 
201:180,31[E  ]| nothing but tea." 
201:180,32[J  ]| "Well$7$ then, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, suppose you speak for$4$ tea 
201:180,33[J  ]| directly, suppose you hurry$1$ $MP#W$Baddeley a little, he seems 
201:180,34[J  ]| behind hand$0$ to-night." 
201:180,34['  ]| She carried this point$0$, and 
201:180,35['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's narrative proceeded. 
201:180,36['  ]| At length there was a pause$0$. His immediate communications 
201:180,37['  ]| were exhausted, and it seemed enough to$9$ be 
201:180,38['  ]| looking joyfully around$4$ him, now at one, now at another 
201:181,01['  ]| of the beloved circle; but the pause$0$ was not long: in$4$ 
201:181,02['  ]| the elation of her spirits $MP#F$Lady*Bertram became talkative, 
201:181,03['  ]| and what were the sensations of her children upon$4$ 
201:181,04['  ]| hearing her say, 
201:181,04[F  ]| "How do you think the young people 
201:181,05[F  ]| have been amusing themselves lately, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas? 
201:181,06[F  ]| They have been acting. We have been all alive with 
201:181,07[F  ]| acting." 
201:181,08[E  ]| "Indeed! and what have you been acting?" 
201:181,09[F  ]| "Oh! They'll tell you all about$4$ it." 
201:181,10[G  ]| "The \all\ will$1$ be soon told," 
201:181,10['  ]| cried $MP#G$Tom hastily, and with 
201:181,11['  ]| affected unconcern; 
201:181,11[G  ]| "but it is not worth*while to$9$ bore$1#2$ 
201:181,12[G  ]| my father with it now. You will$1$ hear enough of it 
201:181,13[G  ]| to-morrow, sir. We have just$5$ been trying$1$, by$4$ way of 
201:181,14[G  ]| doing something, and amusing my mother, just$5$ within 
201:181,15[G  ]| the last$2$ week, to$9$ get up$5$ a few scenes, a mere trifle$0$. We 
201:181,16[G  ]| have had such incessant rains almost since October began, 
201:181,17[G  ]| that$3$ we have been nearly confined to$4$ the house for$4$ days 
201:181,18[G  ]| together. I have hardly taken out$5$ a gun since the 3d. 
201:181,19[G  ]| Tolerable sport$0$ the first three days, but there has been 
201:181,20[G  ]| no$2$ attempting any*thing since. The first day I went 
201:181,21[G  ]| over Mansfield*Wood, and $MP#B$Edmund took the copses 
201:181,22[G  ]| beyond$4$ Easton, and we brought home six brace between 
201:181,23[G  ]| us, and might each have killed six times as many; but 
201:181,24[G  ]| we respect$1$ your pheasants, sir, I assure you, as much 
201:181,25[G  ]| as you could desire$1$. I do not think you will$1$ find your 
201:181,26[G  ]| woods by$4$ any means$0$ worse stocked than they were. 
201:181,27[G  ]| \I\ never saw Mansfield*Wood so$5#1$ full of pheasants in$4$ my 
201:181,28[G  ]| life as this year. I hope$1$ you will$1$ take a day's sport$0$ there 
201:181,29[G  ]| yourself, sir, soon." 
201:181,30['  ]| For$4$ the present$0#1$ the danger was over, and $MP#A$Fanny's sick 
201:181,31['  ]| feelings subsided; but when tea was soon afterwards 
201:181,32['  ]| brought in$5$, and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, getting up$5$, said that$3$ 
201:181,32@e   | he found 
201:181,33@e   | he could not be any longer in$4$ the house without just$5$ 
201:181,34@e   | looking into his own$2$ dear$2#1$ room, 
201:181,34['  ]| every agitation was 
201:181,35['  ]| returning. He was gone before$3$ any*thing had been said 
201:181,36['  ]| to$9$ prepare him for$4$ the change$0$ he must find there; and 
201:181,37['  ]| a pause$0$ of alarm$0$ followed his disappearance. $MP#B$Edmund 
201:181,38['  ]| was the first to$9$ speak: 
201:182,01[B  ]| "Something must be done," 
201:182,01['  ]| said he. 
201:182,02[H  ]| "It is time to$9$ think of our visitors," 
201:182,02['  ]| said $MP#H$Maria, still$5$ 
201:182,03['  ]| feeling her hand$0$ pressed to$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's heart, and 
201:182,04['  ]| caring little for$4$ any*thing else. ~~ 
201:182,04[H  ]| "Where did you leave$1$ 
201:182,05[H  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, $MP#A$Fanny?" 
201:182,06['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny told of their departure, and delivered their 
201:182,07['  ]| message. 
201:182,08[G  ]| "Then poor $MP#R$Yates is all alone," 
201:182,08['  ]| cried $MP#G$Tom. 
201:182,08[G  ]| "I will$1$ 
201:182,09[G  ]| go and fetch him. He will$1$ be no$2$ bad assistant when it 
201:182,10[G  ]| all comes out$5$." 
201:182,11['  ]| To$4$ the Theatre he went, and reached it just$5$ in$4$ time to$9$ 
201:182,12['  ]| witness$1$ the first meeting of his father and his friend. 
201:182,13['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had been a good deal$0$ surprised to$9$ find candles 
201:182,14['  ]| burning in$4$ his room; and on$4$ casting his eye round$4$ it, 
201:182,15['  ]| to$9$ see other symptoms of recent habitation, and a general$2$ 
201:182,16['  ]| air of confusion in$4$ the furniture. The removal of the 
201:182,17['  ]| book-case from before$4$ the billiard*room door struck him 
201:182,18['  ]| especially, but he had scarcely more than time to$9$ feel 
201:182,19['  ]| astonished at all this, before$3$ there were sounds$0$ from the 
201:182,20['  ]| billiard*room to$9$ astonish him still$5$ further. 
201:182,20@e   | Some*one 
201:182,21@e   | was talking there in$4$ a very loud accent ~~ he did not know 
201:182,22@e   | the voice ~~ \more\ than talking ~~ almost hallooing. 
201:182,22['  ]| He 
201:182,23['  ]| stept to$4$ the door, rejoicing at that$6#2$ moment in$4$ having 
201:182,24['  ]| the means$0$ of immediate communication, and opening it, 
201:182,25['  ]| found himself on$4$ the stage$0#2$ of a theatre, and opposed to$4$ 
201:182,26['  ]| a ranting young man, who$6#1$ appeared likely to$9$ knock$1$ him 
201:182,27['  ]| down$5$ backwards. At the very moment of $MP#R$Yates perceiving 
201:182,28['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, and giving perhaps the very best 
201:182,29['  ]| start$0$ he had ever given in$4$ the whole$2$ course$0$ of his rehearsals, 
201:182,30['  ]| $MP#G$Tom*Bertram entered at the other end$0$ of the room; 
201:182,31['  ]| and never had he found greater difficulty in$4$ keeping his 
201:182,32['  ]| countenance. 
201:182,32@g   | His father's looks$0$ of solemnity and 
201:182,33@g   | amazement on$4$ this his first appearance on$4$ any stage$0#2$, 
201:182,34@g   | and the gradual metamorphosis of the impassioned 
201:182,35@g   | $MP#ZZM$Baron*Wildenhaim into the well-bred and easy $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, 
201:182,36@g   | making his bow$0#1$ and apology to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas*Bertram, 
201:182,37@g   | was such an exhibition, such a piece of true acting as he 
201:182,38@g   | would not have lost upon$4$ any account$0$. It would be the 
201:183,01@g   | last$2$ ~~ in$4$ all probability the last$2$ scene on$4$ that$6#2$ stage$0#2$; 
201:183,02@g   | but he was sure there could not be a finer. The house 
201:183,03@g   | would close$1$ with the greatest eclat. 
201:183,04['  ]| There was little time, however, for$4$ the indulgence of 
201:183,05['  ]| any images of merriment. It was necessary for$4$ him to$9$ 
201:183,06['  ]| step$1$ forward$5$ too$5#2$ and assist the introduction, and with 
201:183,07['  ]| many awkward sensations he did his best. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
201:183,08['  ]| received $MP#R$Mr%*Yates with all the appearance of cordiality 
201:183,09['  ]| which$6#1$ was due$2$ to$4$ his own$2$ character, but was really as far 
201:183,10['  ]| from pleased with the necessity of the acquaintance as 
201:183,11['  ]| with the manner of its commencement. $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's 
201:183,12['  ]| family and connections were sufficiently known to$4$ him, 
201:183,13['  ]| to$9$ render his introduction as the 
201:183,13[G  ]| "particular friend," 
201:183,14@e   | another of the hundred particular friends of his son, 
201:183,15['  ]| exceedingly unwelcome; and it needed all the felicity of 
201:183,16['  ]| being$1$ again at home, and all the forbearance it could 
201:183,17['  ]| supply$1$, to$9$ save$1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas from anger$0$ on$4$ 
201:183,17@e   | finding himself 
201:183,18@e   | thus bewildered in$4$ his own$2$ house, making part$0$ of a 
201:183,19@e   | ridiculous exhibition in$4$ the midst of theatrical nonsense, 
201:183,20@e   | and forced in$4$ so$5#1$ untoward a moment to$9$ admit the acquaintance 
201:183,21@e   | of a young man whom$6#1$ he felt sure of disapproving, 
201:183,22@e   | and whose$6#1$ easy indifference and volubility in$4$ the course$0$ 
201:183,23@e   | of the first five minutes seemed to$9$ mark$1$ him the most at 
201:183,24@e   | home of the two. 
201:183,25['  ]| $MP#G$Tom understood his father's thoughts, and 
201:183,25@g   | heartily 
201:183,26@g   | wishing he might be always as well$5$ disposed to$9$ give them 
201:183,27@g   | but partial expression, began to$9$ see more clearly than 
201:183,28@g   | he had ever done before$5$ that$3$ there might be some ground 
201:183,29@g   | of offence ~~ that$3$ there might be some reason$0$ for$4$ the 
201:183,30@g   | glance$0$ his father gave towards the ceiling and stucco of 
201:183,31@g   | the room; and that$3$ when he inquired with mild gravity 
201:183,32@g   | after$4$ the fate of the billiard*table, he was not proceeding 
201:183,33@g   | beyond$4$ a very allowable curiosity. 
201:183,33['  ]| A few minutes were 
201:183,34['  ]| enough for$4$ such unsatisfactory sensations on$4$ each side$0$; 
201:183,35['  ]| and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, having exerted himself so$5#1$ far as to$9$ 
201:183,36['  ]| speak a few words of calm$2$ approbation in$4$ reply$0$ to$4$ an 
201:183,37['  ]| eager appeal of $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, as to$4$ the happiness of the 
201:183,38['  ]| arrangement, the three gentlemen returned to$4$ the drawing-room 
201:184,01['  ]| together, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas with an increase$0$ of gravity 
201:184,02['  ]| which$6#1$ was not lost on$4$ all. 
201:184,03[E  ]| "I come from your theatre," 
201:184,03['  ]| said he composedly, as 
201:184,04['  ]| he sat down$5$; 
201:184,04[E  ]| "I found myself in$4$ it rather unexpectedly. 
201:184,05[E  ]| Its vicinity to$4$ my own$2$ room ~~ but in$4$ every respect$0$ indeed 
201:184,06[E  ]| it took me by$4$ surprize$0$, as I had not the smallest suspicion 
201:184,07[E  ]| of your acting having assumed so$5#1$ serious$2$ a character. 
201:184,08[E  ]| It appears a neat job, however, as far as I could judge$1$ by$4$ 
201:184,09[E  ]| candle-light, and does my friend $MP#ZO$Christopher*Jackson 
201:184,10[E  ]| credit$0$." 
201:184,10['  ]| And then he would have changed the subject$0$, 
201:184,11['  ]| and sipped his coffee in$4$ peace over domestic$2$ matters of 
201:184,12['  ]| a calmer hue; but $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, without discernment to$9$ 
201:184,13['  ]| catch$1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's meaning, or diffidence, or delicacy, 
201:184,14['  ]| or discretion enough to$9$ allow him to$9$ lead$1$ the discourse 
201:184,15['  ]| while$3$ he mingled among the others with the least obtrusiveness 
201:184,16['  ]| himself, would keep him on$4$ the topic of the 
201:184,17['  ]| theatre, would torment$1$ him with questions and remarks 
201:184,18['  ]| relative to$4$ it, and finally would make$1$ him hear the whole$2$ 
201:184,19['  ]| history of his disappointment at Ecclesford. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
201:184,20['  ]| listened most politely, but found much to$9$ offend his 
201:184,21['  ]| ideas of decorum and confirm his ill*opinion of $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's 
201:184,22['  ]| habits of thinking from the beginning to$4$ the end$0$ of the 
201:184,23['  ]| story; and when it was over, could give him no$2$ other 
201:184,24['  ]| assurance of sympathy than what a slight$2$ bow$0#1$ conveyed. 
201:184,25[G  ]| "This was in$4$ fact the origin of \our\ acting," 
201:184,25['  ]| said $MP#G$Tom 
201:184,26['  ]| after$4$ a moment's thought$0$. 
201:184,26[G  ]| "My friend $MP#R$Yates brought 
201:184,27[G  ]| the infection from Ecclesford, and it spread as those 
201:184,28[G  ]| things always spread you know, sir ~~ the faster probably 
201:184,29[G  ]| from \your\ having so$5#1$ often encouraged the sort of thing 
201:184,30[G  ]| in$4$ us formerly. It was like$4$ treading old ground again." 
201:184,31['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates took the subject$0$ from his friend as soon as 
201:184,32['  ]| possible, and immediately gave $MP#E$Sir*Thomas an account$0$ 
201:184,33['  ]| of what they had done and were doing, told him of the
201:184,34['  ]| gradual increase$0$ of their views, the happy conclusion of 
201:184,35['  ]| their first difficulties, and present$2$ promising state$0$ of 
201:184,36['  ]| affairs; relating every*thing with so$5#1$ blind$2$ an interest$0$ as 
201:184,37['  ]| made him not only totally unconscious of the uneasy 
201:184,38['  ]| movements of many of his friends as they sat, the change$0$ 
201:185,01['  ]| of countenance, the fidget, the hem! of unquietness, 
201:185,02['  ]| but prevented him even$5$ from seeing the expression of the 
201:185,03['  ]| face$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ his own$2$ eyes were fixed ~~ from seeing $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
201:185,04['  ]| dark$2$ brow contract as he looked with inquiring 
201:185,05['  ]| earnestness at his daughters and $MP#B$Edmund, dwelling 
201:185,06['  ]| particularly on$4$ the latter, and speaking a language, 
201:185,07['  ]| a remonstrance, a reproof, which$6#1$ \he\ felt at his heart. 
201:185,08['  ]| Not less acutely was it felt by$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ had edged 
201:185,09['  ]| back$5$ her chair behind her aunt's end$0$ of the sofa, and, 
201:185,10['  ]| screened from notice$0$ herself, saw all that$6#1$ was passing 
201:185,11['  ]| before$4$ her. 
201:185,11@a   | Such a look$0$ of reproach$0$ at $MP#B$Edmund from 
201:185,12@a   | his father she could never have expected to$9$ witness$1$; 
201:185,13@a   | and to$9$ feel that$3$ it was in$4$ any degree deserved, was an 
201:185,14@a   | aggravation indeed. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's look$0$ implied, "On$4$ 
201:185,15@a   | your judgment, $MP#B$Edmund, I depended; what have you 
201:185,16@a   | been about$4$?" ~~ She knelt in$4$ spirit to$4$ her uncle, and her 
201:185,17@a   | bosom swelled to$9$ utter$1$, "Oh! not to$4$ \him\. Look$1$ so$5#2$ to$4$ 
201:185,18@a   | all the others, but not to$4$ \him\!" 
201:185,19['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates was still$5$ talking. 
201:185,19[R  ]| "To$9$ own$1$ the truth, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
201:185,20[R  ]| we were in$4$ the middle of a rehearsal when you 
201:185,21[R  ]| arrived this evening. We were going through$4$ the three 
201:185,22[R  ]| first acts$0$, and not unsuccessfully upon$4$ the whole$0$. Our 
201:185,23[R  ]| company is now so$5#1$ dispersed from the $MP#D1$Crawfords being$1$ 
201:185,24[R  ]| gone home, that$3$ nothing more can be done to-night; 
201:185,25[R  ]| but if you will$1$ give us the honour$0$ of your company 
201:185,26[R  ]| to-morrow evening, I should not be afraid of the result$0$. 
201:185,27[R  ]| We bespeak your indulgence, you understand, as young 
201:185,28[R  ]| performers; we bespeak your indulgence." 
201:185,29[E  ]| "My indulgence shall be given, sir," 
201:185,29['  ]| replied $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
201:185,30['  ]| gravely, 
201:185,30[E  ]| "but without any other rehearsal." ~~ 
201:185,30['  ]| And with 
201:185,31['  ]| a relenting smile$0$ he added, 
201:185,31[E  ]| "I come home to$9$ be happy 
201:185,32[E  ]| and indulgent." 
201:185,32['  ]| Then turning away towards any or all 
201:185,33['  ]| of the rest$0#1$, he tranquilly said, 
201:185,33[E  ]| "$MP#D$Mr% and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
201:185,34[E  ]| were mentioned in$4$ my last$2$ letters from Mansfield. Do 
201:185,35[E  ]| you find them agreeable acquaintance?" 
201:185,36['  ]| $MP#G$Tom was the only one at all ready with an answer$0$, but 
201:185,37['  ]| he being$1$ entirely without particular regard$0$ for$4$ either, 
201:185,38['  ]| without jealousy either in$4$ love$0$ or acting, could speak 
201:186,01['  ]| very handsomely of both. 
201:186,01[G  ]| "$MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was a most 
201:186,02[G  ]| pleasant gentleman-like man; ~~ his sister a sweet, pretty$2$, 
201:186,03[G  ]| elegant, lively girl." 
201:186,04['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth could be silent no$2$ longer. 
201:186,04[K  ]| "I do not 
201:186,05[K  ]| say he is not gentleman-like, considering; but you 
201:186,06[K  ]| should tell your father he is not above$4$ five feet eight, or 
201:186,07[K  ]| he will$1$ be expecting a well-looking man." 
201:186,08['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas did not quite understand this, and looked 
201:186,09['  ]| with some surprize$0$ at the speaker. 
201:186,10[K  ]| "If I must say what I think," 
201:186,10['  ]| continued $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
201:186,11[K  ]| "in$4$ my opinion it is very disagreeable to$9$ be 
201:186,12[K  ]| always rehearsing. It is having too$5#1$ much of a good 
201:186,13[K  ]| thing. I am not so$5#1$ fond of acting as I was at first. 
201:186,14[K  ]| I think we are a great deal$0$ better employed, sitting comfortably 
201:186,15[K  ]| here among ourselves, and doing nothing." 
201:186,16['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas looked again, and then replied with an 
201:186,17['  ]| approving smile$0$, 
201:186,17[E  ]| "I am happy to$9$ find our sentiments on$4$ 
201:186,18[E  ]| the subject$0$ so$5#1$ much the same. It gives me sincere 
201:186,19[E  ]| satisfaction. That$3$ I should be cautious and quick-sighted, 
201:186,20[E  ]| and feel many scruples which$6#1$ my children do 
201:186,21[E  ]| \not\ feel, is perfectly natural$2$; and equally so$5#2$ that$3$ \my\ 
201:186,22[E  ]| value$0$ for$4$ domestic$2$ tranquillity, for$4$ a home which$6#1$ shuts 
201:186,23[E  ]| out$5$ noisy pleasures, should much exceed theirs. But at 
201:186,24[E  ]| your time of life to$9$ feel all this, is a most favourable 
201:186,25[E  ]| circumstance for$4$ yourself and for$4$ every*body connected 
201:186,26[E  ]| with you; and I am sensible$2#1$ of the importance of having 
201:186,27[E  ]| an ally of such weight." 
201:186,28['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas meant to$9$ be giving $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
201:186,29['  ]| opinion in$4$ better words than he could find himself. He 
201:186,30['  ]| was aware that$3$ 
201:186,30@e   | he must not expect a genius in$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth; 
201:186,31@e   | but as a well-judging steady young man, with 
201:186,32@e   | better notions than his elocution would do justice to$4$, he 
201:186,33@e   | intended to$9$ value$1$ him very highly. 
201:186,33['  ]| It was impossible 
201:186,34['  ]| for$4$ many of the others not to$9$ smile$1$. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
201:186,35['  ]| hardly knew what to$9$ do with so$5#1$ much meaning; but by$4$ 
201:186,36['  ]| looking as he really felt, most exceedingly pleased with 
201:186,37['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's good opinion, and saying scarcely any*thing, 
201:186,38['  ]| he did his best towards preserving that$6#2$ good 
201:186,39['  ]| opinion a little longer. 
202:187,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's first object$0$ the next morning was to$9$ see his 
202:187,02['  ]| father alone, and give him a fair statement of the whole$2$ 
202:187,03['  ]| acting scheme$0$, defending his own$2$ share$0$ in$4$ it as far only 
202:187,04['  ]| as he could then, in$4$ a soberer moment, feel his motives 
202:187,05['  ]| to$9$ deserve, and acknowledging with perfect$2$ ingenuousness 
202:187,06['  ]| that$3$ his concession had been attended with such partial 
202:187,07['  ]| good as to$9$ make$1$ his judgment in$4$ it very doubtful. He 
202:187,08['  ]| was anxious, while$4$ vindicating himself, to$9$ say nothing 
202:187,09['  ]| unkind of the others; but there was only one amongst 
202:187,10['  ]| them whose$6#1$ conduct$0$ he could mention$1$ without some 
202:187,11['  ]| necessity of defence or palliation. 
202:187,11[B  ]| "We have all been 
202:187,12[B  ]| more or less to$9$ blame$1$," 
202:187,12['  ]| said he, 
202:187,12[B  ]| "every one of us, excepting 
202:187,13[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. $MP#A$Fanny is the only one who$6#1$ has judged 
202:187,14[B  ]| rightly throughout, who$6#1$ has been consistent. \Her\ feelings 
202:187,15[B  ]| have been steadily against it from first to$4$ last$0$. She 
202:187,16[B  ]| never ceased to$9$ think of what was due$2$ to$4$ you. You will$1$ 
202:187,17[B  ]| find $MP#A$Fanny every*thing you could wish$1$." 
202:187,18['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas saw all the impropriety of such a scheme$0$ 
202:187,19['  ]| among such a party, and at such a time, as strongly as 
202:187,20['  ]| his son had ever supposed he must; he felt it too$5#1$ much 
202:187,21['  ]| indeed for$4$ many words; and having shaken hands with 
202:187,22['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, meant to$9$ try to$9$ lose the disagreeable impression, 
202:187,23['  ]| and forget how much he had been forgotten himself as 
202:187,24['  ]| soon as he could, after$3$ the house had been cleared of 
202:187,25['  ]| every object$0$ enforcing the remembrance, and restored 
202:187,26['  ]| to$4$ it proper state$0$. He did not enter into any remonstrance 
202:187,27['  ]| with his other children: he was more willing 
202:187,28['  ]| to$9$ believe they felt their error, than to$9$ run$1$ the risk$0$ of 
202:187,29['  ]| investigation. 
202:187,29@e   | The reproof of an immediate conclusion 
202:187,30@e   | of every*thing, the sweep of every preparation would be 
202:187,31@e   | sufficient. 
202:187,32['  ]| There was one person, however, in$4$ the house whom$6#1$ 
202:188,01['  ]| he could not leave$1$ to$9$ learn his sentiments merely through$4$ 
202:188,02['  ]| his conduct$0$. He could not help$1$ giving $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris a hint$0$ 
202:188,03['  ]| of his having hoped, that$3$ her advice might have been 
202:188,04['  ]| interposed to$9$ prevent what her judgment must certainly 
202:188,05['  ]| have disapproved. 
202:188,05@e   | The young people had been very 
202:188,06@e   | inconsiderate in$4$ forming the plan; they ought to$9$ have 
202:188,07@e   | been capable of a better decision themselves; but they 
202:188,08@e   | were young, and, excepting $MP#B$Edmund, he believed of 
202:188,09@e   | unsteady characters; and with greater surprize$0$ therefore 
202:188,10@e   | he must regard$1$ her acquiescence in$4$ their wrong measures, 
202:188,11@e   | her countenance of their unsafe amusements, than that$3$ 
202:188,12@e   | such measures and such amusements should have been 
202:188,13@e   | suggested. 
202:188,13['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was a little confounded, and as 
202:188,14['  ]| nearly being$1$ silenced as ever she had been in$4$ her life; for$3$ 
202:188,15['  ]| she was ashamed to$9$ confess having never seen any of the 
202:188,16['  ]| impropriety which$6#1$ was so$5#1$ glaring to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, and 
202:188,17['  ]| would not have admitted that$3$ her influence$0$ was insufficient, 
202:188,18['  ]| that$3$ she might have talked in$4$ vain. Her only 
202:188,19['  ]| resource was to$9$ get out$5$ of the subject$0$ as fast as possible, 
202:188,20['  ]| and turn$1$ the current of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's ideas into a happier 
202:188,21['  ]| channel. She had a great deal$0$ to$9$ insinuate in$4$ her own$2$ 
202:188,22['  ]| praise$0$ as to$4$ 
202:188,22@j   | \general$2$\ attention to$4$ the interest$0$ and comfort$0$ 
202:188,23@j   | of his family, much exertion and many sacrifices to$9$ 
202:188,24@j   | glance$1$ at in$4$ the form$0$ of hurried walks$0$ and sudden$2$ removals 
202:188,25@j   | from her own$2$ fire-side, and many excellent hints 
202:188,26@j   | of distrust$0$ and economy to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram and $MP#B$Edmund 
202:188,27@j   | to$9$ detail$1$, whereby a most considerable saving had always 
202:188,28@j   | arisen, and more than one bad servant been detected. 
202:188,29['  ]| But her chief strength lay$1#2$ in$4$ Sotherton. Her greatest 
202:188,30['  ]| support$0$ and glory$0$ was in$4$ having formed the connection 
202:188,31['  ]| with the $MP#K1$Rushworths. \There\ she was impregnable. She 
202:188,32['  ]| took to$4$ herself all the credit$0$ of bringing $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
202:188,33['  ]| admiration of $MP#H$Maria to$4$ any effect$0$. 
202:188,33[J  ]| "If I had not been 
202:188,34[J  ]| active," 
202:188,34['  ]| said she, 
202:188,34[J  ]| "and made a point$0$ of being$1$ introduced 
202:188,35[J  ]| to$4$ his mother, and then prevailed on$4$ my sister to$9$ pay$1$ 
202:188,36[J  ]| the first visit$0$, I am as certain as I sit here, that$3$ nothing 
202:188,37[J  ]| would have come of it ~~ for$3$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is the sort 
202:188,38[J  ]| of amiable modest young man who$6#1$ wants$1$ a great deal$0$ of 
202:189,01[J  ]| encouragement, and there were girls enough on$4$ the 
202:189,02[J  ]| catch$0$ for$4$ him if we had been idle. But I left no$2$ stone 
202:189,03[J  ]| unturned. I was ready to$9$ move$1$ heaven and earth to$9$ 
202:189,04[J  ]| persuade my sister, and at last$0$ I did persuade her. You 
202:189,05[J  ]| know the distance$0$ to$4$ Sotherton; it was in$4$ the middle 
202:189,06[J  ]| of winter, and the roads almost impassable, but I did 
202:189,07[J  ]| persuade her." 
202:189,08[E  ]| "I know how great, how justly great your influence$0$ 
202:189,09[E  ]| is with $MP#F$Lady*Bertram and her children, and am the more 
202:189,10[E  ]| concerned that$3$ it should not have been" ~~ 
202:189,11[J  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, if you had seen the state$0$ of 
202:189,12[J  ]| the roads \that$6#2$\ day! I thought$1$ we should never have 
202:189,13[J  ]| got through$4$ them, though we had the four horses of 
202:189,14[J  ]| course$8$; and poor old coachman would attend us, out$5$ of 
202:189,15[J  ]| his great love$0$ and kindness, though he was hardly able 
202:189,16[J  ]| to$9$ sit the box on$4$ account$0$ of the rheumatism which$6#1$ I had 
202:189,17[J  ]| been doctoring him for$4$, ever since Michaelmas. I cured 
202:189,18[J  ]| him at last$0$; but he was very bad all the winter ~~ and 
202:189,19[J  ]| this was such a day, I could not help$1$ going to$4$ him up$5$ in$4$ 
202:189,20[J  ]| his room before$3$ we set$1$ off to$9$ advise him not to$9$ venture: 
202:189,21[J  ]| he was putting on$5$ his wig ~~ so$3$ I said, "Coachman, you 
202:189,22[J  ]| had much better not go, your Lady and I shall be very 
202:189,23[J  ]| safe; you know how steady $MP#ZZL$Stephen is, and $MP#ZZL$Charles has 
202:189,24[J  ]| been upon$4$ the leaders so$5#1$ often now, that$3$ I am sure there 
202:189,25[J  ]| is no$2$ fear$0$." But, however, I soon found it would not do; 
202:189,26[J  ]| he was bent upon$4$ going, and as I hate to$9$ be worrying 
202:189,27[J  ]| and officious, I said no$2$ more; but my heart quite ached 
202:189,28[J  ]| for$4$ him at every jolt, and when we got into the rough 
202:189,29[J  ]| lanes about$4$ Stoke, where what with frost and snow upon$4$ 
202:189,30[J  ]| beds of stones, it was worse than any*thing you can 
202:189,31[J  ]| imagine, I was quite in$4$ an agony about$4$ him. And then 
202:189,32[J  ]| the poor horses too$5#2$! ~~ To$9$ see them straining away! You 
202:189,33[J  ]| know how I always feel for$4$ the horses. And when we 
202:189,34[J  ]| got to$4$ the bottom of Sandcroft*Hill, what do you think 
202:189,35[J  ]| I did? You will$1$ laugh$1$ at me ~~ but I got out$5$ and walked 
202:189,36[J  ]| up$5$. I did indeed. It might not be saving them much, 
202:189,37[J  ]| but it was something, and I could not bear$1$ to$9$ sit at 
202:189,38[J  ]| my ease$0$, and be dragged up$5$ at the expense of those 
202:190,01[J  ]| noble animals. I caught a dreadful cold$0$, but \that$6#2$\ I 
202:190,02[J  ]| did not regard$1$. My object$0$ was accomplished in$4$ the 
202:190,03[J  ]| visit$0$." 
202:190,04[E  ]| "I hope$1$ we shall always think the acquaintance worth 
202:190,05[E  ]| any trouble$0$ that$6#1$ might be taken to$9$ establish it. There 
202:190,06[E  ]| is nothing very striking in$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's manners, but 
202:190,07[E  ]| I was pleased last$2$ night with what appeared to$9$ be his 
202:190,08[E  ]| opinion on$4$ \one\ subject$0$ ~~ his decided preference of a quiet$2$ 
202:190,09[E  ]| family-party to$4$ the bustle$0$ and confusion of acting. He 
202:190,10[E  ]| seemed to$9$ feel exactly as one could wish$1$." 
202:190,11[J  ]| "Yes, indeed, ~~ and the more you know of him, the 
202:190,12[J  ]| better you will$1$ like$1$ him. He is not a shining character, 
202:190,13[J  ]| but he has a thousand good qualities! and is so$5#1$ disposed 
202:190,14[J  ]| to$9$ look$1$ up$5$ to$4$ you, that$3$ I am quite laughed at about$4$ it, 
202:190,15[J  ]| for$3$ every*body considers it as my doing. 
202:190,15@n   | ""Upon$4$ my 
202:190,16@n   | word, $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris,"" 
202:190,16[J  ]| said $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, the other day, 
202:190,16@n   | ""if 
202:190,17@n   | $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth were a son of your own$2$ he could not hold$1$ 
202:190,18@n   | $MP#E$Sir*Thomas in$4$ greater respect$0$.""" 
202:190,19['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas gave up$5$ the point$0$, foiled by$4$ her evasions, 
202:190,20['  ]| disarmed by$4$ her flattery; and was obliged to$9$ rest$1$ satisfied 
202:190,21['  ]| with the conviction that$3$ 
202:190,21@e   | where the present$2$ pleasure of 
202:190,22@e   | those she loved was at stake$0$, her kindness did sometimes 
202:190,23@e   | overpower her judgment. 
202:190,24['  ]| It was a busy morning with him. Conversation with 
202:190,25['  ]| any of them occupied but a small part$0$ of it. He had to$9$ 
202:190,26['  ]| reinstate himself in$4$ all the wonted concerns$0$ of his Mansfield 
202:190,27['  ]| life, to$9$ see his steward and his bailiff ~~ to$9$ examine 
202:190,28['  ]| and compute ~~ and, in$4$ the intervals of business, to$9$ walk$1$ 
202:190,29['  ]| into his stables and his gardens, and nearest plantations; 
202:190,30['  ]| but active and methodical, he had not only done all this 
202:190,31['  ]| before$3$ he resumed his seat as master of the house at 
202:190,32['  ]| dinner, he had also set$1$ the carpenter to$4$ work$0$ in$4$ pulling 
202:190,33['  ]| down$5$ what had been so$5#1$ lately put up$5$ in$4$ the billiard*room, 
202:190,34['  ]| and given the scene painter his dismissal, long enough 
202:190,35['  ]| to$9$ justify the pleasing belief of his being$1$ then at least as 
202:190,36['  ]| far off as Northampton. The scene painter was gone, 
202:190,37['  ]| having spoilt only the floor of one room, ruined all the 
202:190,38['  ]| coachman's sponges, and made five of the under-servants 
202:191,01['  ]| idle and dissatisfied; and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was 
202:191,01@e   | in$4$ hopes$0$ that$3$ 
202:191,02@e   | another day or two would suffise to$9$ wipe away every 
202:191,03@e   | outward memento of what had been, even$5$ to$4$ the destruction 
202:191,04@e   | of every unbound copy$0$ of "Lovers'*Vows" in$4$ the 
202:191,05@e   | house, 
202:191,05['  ]| for$3$ he was burning all that$6#1$ met his eye. 
202:191,06['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates was beginning now to$9$ understand $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
202:191,07['  ]| intentions, though as far as ever from understanding 
202:191,08['  ]| their source. He and his friend had been out$5$ 
202:191,09['  ]| with their guns the chief of the morning, and $MP#G$Tom had 
202:191,10['  ]| taken the opportunity of explaining, with proper apologies 
202:191,11['  ]| for$4$ his father's particularity, what was to$9$ be expected. 
202:191,12['  ]| $MP#R$Mr%*Yates felt it as acutely as might be supposed. 
202:191,12@r   | To$9$ be 
202:191,13@r   | a second$2$ time disappointed in$4$ the same way was an 
202:191,14@r   | instance$0$ of very severe ill-luck; and his indignation was 
202:191,15@r   | such, that$3$ had it not been for$4$ delicacy towards his friend 
202:191,16@r   | and his friend's youngest sister, he believed he should 
202:191,17@r   | certainly attack$1$ the Baronet on$4$ the absurdity of his 
202:191,18@r   | proceedings, and argue him into a little more rationality. 
202:191,19['  ]| He believed this very stoutly while$3$ he was in$4$ Mansfield*Wood, 
202:191,20['  ]| and all the way home; but there was a something 
202:191,21['  ]| in$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, when they sat round$4$ the same table, 
202:191,22['  ]| which$6#1$ made $MP#R$Mr%*Yates think it wiser to$9$ let him pursue 
202:191,23['  ]| his own$2$ way, and feel the folly of it without opposition. 
202:191,24@r   | He had known many disagreeable fathers before$5$, and 
202:191,25@r   | often been struck with the inconveniences they occasioned, 
202:191,26@r   | but never in$4$ the whole$2$ course$0$ of his life, had he 
202:191,27@r   | seen one of that$6#2$ class$0$, so$5#1$ unintelligibly moral, so$5#1$ infamously 
202:191,28@r   | tyrannical as $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. He was not a man to$9$ be 
202:191,29@r   | endured but for$4$ his children's sake, and he might be 
202:191,30@r   | thankful to$4$ his fair daughter $MP#I$Julia that$3$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates did yet 
202:191,31@r   | mean$1$ to$9$ stay$1$ a few days longer under his roof. 
202:191,32['  ]| The evening passed with external smoothness, though 
202:191,33['  ]| almost every mind$0$ was ruffled; and the music which$6#1$ 
202:191,34['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas called for$4$ from his daughters helped to$9$ 
202:191,35['  ]| conceal the want$0$ of real harmony. $MP#H$Maria was in$4$ a good 
202:191,36['  ]| deal$0$ of agitation. It was of the utmost consequence to$4$ 
202:191,37['  ]| her that$3$ $MP#D$Crawford should now lose no$2$ time in$4$ declaring 
202:191,38['  ]| himself, and she was disturbed that$3$ even$5$ a day should 
202:192,01['  ]| be gone by$5$ without seeming to$9$ advance$1$ that$6#2$ point$0$. 
202:192,02['  ]| She had been expecting to$9$ see him the whole$2$ morning 
202:192,03['  ]| ~~ and all the evening too$5#2$ was still$5$ expecting him. 
202:192,04['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth had set$1$ off early with the great news for$4$ 
202:192,05['  ]| Sotherton; and she had fondly hoped for$4$ such an immediate 
202:192,06['  ]| eclaircissement as might save$1$ him the trouble$0$ of 
202:192,07['  ]| ever coming back$5$ again. But they had seen no*one 
202:192,08['  ]| from the Parsonage ~~ not a creature, and had heard no$2$ 
202:192,09['  ]| tidings beyond$4$ a friendly note$0$ of congratulation and 
202:192,10['  ]| inquiry from $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram. It was the 
202:192,11['  ]| first day for$4$ many, many weeks, in$4$ which$6#1$ the families 
202:192,12['  ]| had been wholly divided. Four-and-twenty hours had 
202:192,13['  ]| never passed before$5$, since August began, without bringing 
202:192,14['  ]| them together in$4$ some way or other. It was a sad 
202:192,15['  ]| anxious day; and the morrow, though differing in$4$ the 
202:192,16['  ]| sort of evil, did by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ bring less. A few moments 
202:192,17['  ]| of feverish enjoyment were followed by$4$ hours of acute 
202:192,18['  ]| suffering. $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was again in$4$ the house; he 
202:192,19['  ]| walked up$5$ with $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, who$6#1$ was anxious to$9$ pay$1$ his 
202:192,20['  ]| respects to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, and at rather an early hour 
202:192,21['  ]| they were ushered into the breakfast*room, where were 
202:192,22['  ]| most of the family. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas soon appeared, and 
202:192,23['  ]| $MP#H$Maria saw with delight$0$ and agitation the introduction 
202:192,24['  ]| of the man she loved to$4$ her father. Her sensations were 
202:192,25['  ]| indefinable, and so$5#2$ were they a few minutes afterwards 
202:192,26['  ]| upon$4$ hearing $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, who$6#1$ had a chair between 
202:192,27['  ]| herself and $MP#G$Tom, ask the latter in$4$ an under voice, 
202:192,27@d   | whether 
202:192,28@d   | there were any plan for$4$ resuming the play$0$ after$4$ the 
202:192,29@d   | present$2$ happy interruption, 
202:192,29['  ]| (with a courteous glance$0$ at 
202:192,30['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas,) 
202:192,30@d   | because in$4$ that$6#2$ case, he should make$1$ a 
202:192,31@d   | point$0$ of returning to$4$ Mansfield, at any time required by$4$ 
202:192,32@d   | the party; he was going away immediately, being$1$ to$9$ 
202:192,33@d   | meet$1$ his uncle at Bath$0#1$ without delay$0$, but if there were 
202:192,34@d   | any prospect of a renewal of "Lovers'*Vows", he should 
202:192,35@d   | hold$1$ himself positively engaged, he should break through$4$ 
202:192,36@d   | every other claim$0$, he should absolutely condition$1$ with 
202:192,37@d   | his uncle for$4$ attending them whenever he might be 
202:192,38@d   | wanted. The play$0$ should not be lost by$4$ \his\ absence. 
202:193,01[D  ]| "From Bath$0#1$, Norfolk, London, York ~~ wherever I may$1$ 
202:193,02[D  ]| be," 
202:193,02['  ]| said he, 
202:193,02[D  ]| "I will$1$ attend you from any place$0$ in$4$ England, 
202:193,03[D  ]| at an hour's notice$0$." 
202:193,04['  ]| It was well$5$ at that$6#2$ moment that$3$ $MP#G$Tom had to$9$ speak 
202:193,05['  ]| and not his sister. He could immediately say with easy 
202:193,06['  ]| fluency, 
202:193,06[G  ]| "I am sorry you are going ~~ but as to$4$ our play$0$, 
202:193,07[G  ]| \that$6#2$\ is all over ~~ entirely at an end$0$ 
202:193,07['  ]| (looking significantly 
202:193,08['  ]| at his father). 
202:193,08[G  ]| The painter was sent off yesterday, and 
202:193,09[G  ]| very little will$1$ remain of the theatre to-morrow. ~~ I knew 
202:193,10[G  ]| how \that$6#2$\ would be from the first. ~~ It is early for$4$ Bath$0#1$. ~~ 
202:193,11[G  ]| You will$1$ find nobody there." 
202:193,12[D  ]| "It is about$4$ my uncle's usual time." 
202:193,13[G  ]| "When do you think of going?" 
202:193,14[D  ]| "I may$1$ perhaps get as far as Banbury to-day." 
202:193,15[G  ]| "Whose$6#2$ stables do you use$1$ at Bath$0#1$?" 
202:193,15['  ]| was the next 
202:193,16['  ]| question$0$; and while$3$ this branch of the subject$0$ was under 
202:193,17['  ]| discussion, $MP#H$Maria, who$6#1$ wanted neither pride nor resolution, 
202:193,18['  ]| was preparing to$9$ encounter her share$0$ of it with tolerable 
202:193,19['  ]| calmness. 
202:193,20['  ]| To$4$ her he soon turned, repeating much of what he had 
202:193,21['  ]| already said, with only a softened air and stronger 
202:193,22['  ]| expressions of regret$0$. But what availed his expressions 
202:193,23['  ]| or his air? ~~ 
202:193,23@h   | He was going ~~ and if not voluntarily going, 
202:193,24@h   | voluntarily intending to$9$ stay$1$ away; for$3$, excepting what 
202:193,25@h   | might be due$2$ to$4$ his uncle, his engagements were all self-imposed. ~~ 
202:193,26@h   | He might talk$1$ of necessity, but she knew his 
202:193,27@h   | independence. ~~ The hand$0$ which$6#1$ had so$5#1$ pressed her's to$4$ 
202:193,28@h   | his heart! ~~ The hand$0$ and the heart were alike motionless 
202:193,29@h   | and passive now! 
202:193,29['  ]| Her spirit supported her, but the 
202:193,30['  ]| agony of her mind$0$ was severe. ~~ She had not long to$9$ 
202:193,31['  ]| endure what arose from listening to$4$ language, which$6#1$ his 
202:193,32['  ]| actions contradicted, or to$9$ bury the tumult of her feelings 
202:193,33['  ]| under the restraint of society; for$3$ general$2$ civilities soon 
202:193,34['  ]| called his notice$0$ from her, and the farewell visit$0$, as it 
202:193,35['  ]| then became openly acknowledged, was a very short 
202:193,36['  ]| one. ~~ 
202:193,36@h   | He was gone ~~ he had touched her hand$0$ for$4$ the 
202:193,37@h   | last$2$ time, he had made his parting bow$0#1$, and she might 
202:193,38@h   | seek directly all that$6#1$ solitude could do for$4$ her. 
202:193,38['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
202:194,01['  ]| was gone ~~ gone from the house, and within 
202:194,02['  ]| two hours afterwards from the parish; and so$5#2$ ended all 
202:194,03['  ]| the hopes$0$ his selfish vanity had raised in$4$ $MP#H$Maria and 
202:194,03['  ]| $MP#I$Julia*Bertram. 
202:194,04['  ]| $MP#I$Julia could rejoice that$3$ he was gone. ~~ His presence 
202:194,05['  ]| was beginning to$9$ be odious to$4$ her; and if $MP#H$Maria gained 
202:194,06['  ]| him not, she was now cool$2$ enough to$9$ dispense with any 
202:194,07['  ]| other revenge. ~~ 
202:194,08@i   | She did not want$1$ exposure to$9$ be added 
202:194,09@i   | to$4$ desertion. ~~ 
202:194,09['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford gone, she could even$5$ pity$1$ 
202:194,10['  ]| her sister. 
202:194,11['  ]| With a purer spirit did $MP#A$Fanny rejoice in$4$ the intelligence. 
202:194,12['  ]| ~~ She heard it at dinner and felt it a blessing. By$4$ all 
202:194,13['  ]| the others it was mentioned with regret$0$, and his merits 
202:194,14['  ]| honoured with due$2$ gradation of feeling, from the sincerity 
202:194,15['  ]| of $MP#B$Edmund's too$5#1$ partial regard$0$, to$4$ the unconcern of his 
202:194,16['  ]| mother speaking entirely by$4$ rote. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris began to$9$ 
202:194,17['  ]| look$1$ about$4$ her and 
202:194,17@j   | wonder$1$ that$3$ his falling in$4$ love$0$ with 
202:194,18@j   | $MP#I$Julia had come to$4$ nothing; and could almost fear$1$ that$3$ 
202:194,19@j   | she had been remiss herself in$4$ forwarding it; but with 
202:194,20@j   | so$5#1$ many to$9$ care$1$ for$4$, how was it possible for$4$ even$5$ \her\ 
202:194,21@j   | activity to$9$ keep pace$0$ with her wishes$0$? 
202:194,22['  ]| Another day or two, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates was gone likewise. 
202:194,23['  ]| In$4$ \his\ departure $MP#E$Sir*Thomas felt the chief interest$0$; 
202:194,24@e   | wanting to$9$ be alone with his family, the presence of 
202:194,25@e   | a stranger$0$ superior to$4$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates must have been irksome; 
202:194,26@e   | but of him, trifling and confident, idle and expensive, 
202:194,27@e   | it was every way vexatious. In$4$ himself he was wearisome, 
202:194,28@e   | but as the friend of $MP#G$Tom and the admirer of $MP#I$Julia he 
202:194,29@e   | became offensive. 
202:194,29['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had been quite indifferent 
202:194,30['  ]| to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's going or staying ~~ but his good wishes$0$ 
202:194,31['  ]| for$4$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's having a pleasant journey, as he walked 
202:194,32['  ]| with him to$4$ the hall door, were given with genuine 
202:194,33['  ]| satisfaction. $MP#R$Mr%*Yates had staid to$9$ see the destruction 
202:194,34['  ]| of every theatrical preparation at Mansfield, the removal 
202:194,35['  ]| of every*thing appertaining to$4$ the play$0$; he left the 
202:194,36['  ]| house in$4$ all the soberness of its general$2$ character; and 
202:194,37['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas hoped, in$4$ seeing him out$5$ of it, 
202:194,37@e   | to$9$ be rid 
202:194,38@e   | of the worst object$0$ connected with the scheme$0$, and 
202:195,01@e   | the last$0$ that$6#1$ must be inevitably reminding him of its 
202:195,02@e   | existence. 
202:195,03['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris contrived to$9$ remove$1$ one article from his 
202:195,04['  ]| sight that$6#1$ might have distressed him. The curtain over 
202:195,05['  ]| which$6#1$ she had presided with such talent and such success, 
202:195,06['  ]| went off with her to$4$ her cottage, where 
202:195,06@j   | she happened to$9$ 
202:195,07@j   | be particularly in$4$ want$0$ of green baize. 
203:196,01['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's return$0$ made a striking change$0$ in$4$ the 
203:196,02['  ]| ways of the family, independent of Lovers'*Vows. Under 
203:196,03['  ]| his government, Mansfield was an altered place$0$. Some 
203:196,04['  ]| members of their society sent away and the spirits of 
203:196,05['  ]| many others saddened, it was all sameness and gloom, 
203:196,06['  ]| compared with the past$0$; a sombre family-party rarely 
203:196,07['  ]| enlivened. There was little intercourse with the Parsonage. 
203:196,08['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas drawing back$5$ from intimacies in$4$ 
203:196,09['  ]| general$0$, was particularly disinclined, at this time, for$4$ any 
203:196,10['  ]| engagements but in$4$ one quarter$0#2$. The $MP#K1$Rushworths were 
203:196,11['  ]| the only addition to$4$ his own$2$ domestic$2$ circle which$6#1$ he 
203:196,12['  ]| could solicit. 
203:196,13['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund did not wonder$1$ that$3$ such should be his 
203:196,14['  ]| father's feelings, nor could he regret$1$ any*thing but the 
203:196,15['  ]| exclusion of the $MP#M1$Grants. 
203:196,15[B  ]| "But they," 
203:196,15['  ]| he observed to$4$ 
203:196,16['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, 
203:196,16[B  ]| "have a claim$0$. They seem to$9$ belong to$4$ us ~~ 
203:196,17[B  ]| they seem to$9$ be part$0$ of ourselves. I could wish$1$ my 
203:196,18[B  ]| father were more sensible$2#1$ of their very great attention 
203:196,19[B  ]| to$4$ my mother and sisters while$3$ he was away. I am 
203:196,20[B  ]| afraid they may$1$ feel themselves neglected. But the 
203:196,21[B  ]| truth is that$3$ my father hardly knows them. They had 
203:196,22[B  ]| not been here a twelvemonth when he left England. 
203:196,23[B  ]| If he knew them better, he would value$1$ their society 
203:196,24[B  ]| as it deserves, for$3$ they are in$4$ fact exactly the sort of 
203:196,25[B  ]| people he would like$1$. We are sometimes a little in$4$ want$0$ 
203:196,26[B  ]| of animation among ourselves; my sisters seem out$5$ of 
203:196,27[B  ]| spirits, and $MP#G$Tom is certainly not at his ease$0$. $MP#M$Dr% and 
203:196,28[B  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant would enliven us, and make$1$ our evenings pass$1$ 
203:196,29[B  ]| away with more enjoyment even$5$ to$4$ my father." 
203:196,30[A  ]| "Do you think so$5#2$?" 
203:196,30['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny. 
203:196,30[A  ]| "In$4$ my opinion, 
203:196,31[A  ]| my uncle would not like$1$ \any\ addition. I think he values 
203:196,32[A  ]| the very quietness you speak of, and that$3$ the repose of his 
203:196,33[A  ]| own$2$ family-circle is all he wants$1$. And it does not appear 
203:197,01[A  ]| to$4$ me that$3$ we are more serious$2$ than we used to$9$ be; 
203:197,02[A  ]| I mean$1$ before$3$ my uncle went abroad. As well$5$ as I can 
203:197,03[A  ]| recollect, it was always much the same. There was never 
203:197,04[A  ]| much laughing in$4$ his presence; or, if there is any difference, 
203:197,05[A  ]| it is not more I think than such an absence has 
203:197,06[A  ]| a tendency to$9$ produce at first. There must be a sort of 
203:197,07[A  ]| shyness. But I cannot recollect that$3$ our evenings 
203:197,08[A  ]| formerly were ever merry, except when my uncle was in$4$ 
203:197,09[A  ]| town. No$2$ young people's are, I suppose, when those 
203:197,10[A  ]| they look$1$ up$5$ to$4$ are at home." 
203:197,11[B  ]| "I believe you are right$2#1$, $MP#A$Fanny," 
203:197,11['  ]| was his reply$0$, after$4$ 
203:197,12['  ]| a short consideration. 
203:197,12[B  ]| "I believe our evenings are 
203:197,13[B  ]| rather returned to$4$ what they were, than assuming a new 
203:197,14[B  ]| character. The novelty was in$4$ their being$1$ lively. ~~ Yet, 
203:197,15[B  ]| how strong the impression that$6#1$ only a few weeks will$1$ give! 
203:197,16[B  ]| I have been feeling as if we had never lived so$5#2$ before$5$." 
203:197,17[A  ]| "I suppose I am graver than other people," 
203:197,17['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny. 
203:197,18[A  ]| "The evenings do not appear long to$4$ me. I love$1$ to$9$ hear 
203:197,19[A  ]| my uncle talk$1$ of the West*Indies. I could listen to$4$ him 
203:197,20[A  ]| for$4$ an hour together. It entertains \me\ more than many 
203:197,21[A  ]| other things have done ~~ but then I am unlike other people 
203:197,22[A  ]| I dare$1#2$ say." 
203:197,23[B  ]| "Why should you dare$1#2$ say \that$6#2$?\ 
203:197,23['  ]| (smiling) ~~ 
203:197,23[B  ]| Do you 
203:197,24[B  ]| want$1$ to$9$ be told that$3$ you are only unlike other people in$4$ 
203:197,25[B  ]| being$1$ more wise and discreet? But when did you or any*body 
203:197,26[B  ]| ever get a compliment$0$ from me, $MP#A$Fanny? Go to$4$ my 
203:197,27[B  ]| father if you want$1$ to$9$ be complimented. He will$1$ satisfy 
203:197,28[B  ]| you. Ask your uncle what he thinks, and you will$1$ hear 
203:197,29[B  ]| compliments enough; and though they may$1$ be chiefly on$4$ 
203:197,30[B  ]| your person, you must put up$5$ with it, and trust$1$ to$4$ his 
203:197,31[B  ]| seeing as much beauty of mind$0$ in$4$ time." 
203:197,32['  ]| Such language was so$5#1$ new to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny that$3$ it quite 
203:197,33['  ]| embarrassed her. 
203:197,34[B  ]| "Your uncle thinks you very pretty$2$, dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny ~~ and 
203:197,35[B  ]| that$6#2$ is the long and the short of the matter. Anybody but 
203:197,36[B  ]| myself would have made something more of it, and any*body 
203:197,37[B  ]| but you would resent that$3$ you had not been thought$1$ 
203:197,38[B  ]| very pretty$2$ before$5$; but the truth is, that$3$ your uncle 
203:198,01[B  ]| never did admire you till now ~~ and now he does. Your 
203:198,02[B  ]| complexion is so$5#1$ improved! ~~ and you have gained so$5#1$ 
203:198,03[B  ]| much countenance! ~~ and your figure ~~ Nay, $MP#A$Fanny, do 
203:198,04[B  ]| not turn$1$ away about$4$ it ~~ it is but an uncle. If you cannot 
203:198,05[B  ]| bear$1$ an uncle's admiration what is to$9$ become of you? 
203:198,06[B  ]| You must really begin to$9$ harden yourself to$4$ the idea of 
203:198,07[B  ]| being$1$ worth looking at. ~~ You must try not to$9$ mind$1$ 
203:198,08[B  ]| growing up$5$ into a pretty$2$ woman." 
203:198,09[A  ]| "Oh! don't talk$1$ so$5#2$, don't talk$1$ so$5#2$," 
203:198,09['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, distressed 
203:198,10['  ]| by$4$ more feelings than he was aware of; but seeing 
203:198,11['  ]| that$3$ she was distressed, he had done with the subject$0$, and 
203:198,12['  ]| only added more seriously, 
203:198,12[B  ]| "Your uncle is disposed to$9$ be 
203:198,13[B  ]| pleased with you in$4$ every respect$0$; and I only wish$1$ you 
203:198,14[B  ]| would talk$1$ to$4$ him more. ~~ You are one of those who$6#1$ are too$5#1$ 
203:198,15[B  ]| silent in$4$ the evening circle." 
203:198,16[A  ]| "But I do talk$1$ to$4$ him more than I used. I am sure I do. 
203:198,17[A  ]| Did not you hear me ask him about$4$ the slave*trade last$2$ 
203:198,18[A  ]| night?" 
203:198,19[B  ]| "I did ~~ and was in$4$ hopes$0$ the question$0$ would be 
203:198,20[B  ]| followed up$5$ by$4$ others. It would have pleased your uncle 
203:198,21[B  ]| to$9$ be inquired of farther." 
203:198,22[A  ]| "And I longed to$9$ do it ~~ but there was such a dead 
203:198,23[A  ]| silence$0$! And while$3$ my cousins were sitting by$5$ without 
203:198,24[A  ]| speaking a word, or seeming at all interested in$4$ the subject$0$, 
203:198,25[A  ]| I did not like$1$ ~~ I thought$1$ it would appear as if I wanted to$9$ 
203:198,26[A  ]| set$1$ myself off at their expense, by$4$ shewing a curiosity and 
203:198,27[A  ]| pleasure in$4$ his information which$6#1$ he must wish$1$ his own$2$ 
203:198,28[A  ]| daughters to$9$ feel." 
203:198,29[B  ]| "$MP#C$Miss*Crawford was very right$2#1$ in$4$ what she said of you 
203:198,30[B  ]| the other day ~~ that$3$ you seemed almost as fearful of notice$0$ 
203:198,31[B  ]| and praise$0$ as other women were of neglect$0$. We were 
203:198,32[B  ]| talking of you at the Parsonage, and those were her words. 
203:198,33[B  ]| She has great discernment. I know nobody who$6#1$ distinguishes 
203:198,34[B  ]| characters better. ~~ For$4$ so$5#1$ young a woman it is 
203:198,35[B  ]| remarkable! She certainly understands \you\ better than 
203:198,36[B  ]| you are understood by$4$ the greater part$0$ of those who$6#1$ have 
203:198,37[B  ]| known you so$5#1$ long; and with regard$0$ to$4$ some others, 
203:198,38[B  ]| I can perceive, from occasional lively hints, the unguarded 
203:199,01[B  ]| expressions of the moment, that$3$ she could define \many\ as 
203:199,02[B  ]| accurately, did not delicacy forbid it. I wonder$1$ what she 
203:199,03[B  ]| thinks of my father! She must admire him as a fine*looking 
203:199,04[B  ]| man, with most gentleman-like, dignified, consistent 
203:199,05[B  ]| manners; but perhaps having seen him so$5#1$ seldom, his 
203:199,06[B  ]| reserve$0$ may$1$ be a little repulsive. Could they be much 
203:199,07[B  ]| together I feel sure of their liking each other. He would 
203:199,08[B  ]| enjoy her liveliness ~~ and she has talents to$9$ value$1$ his 
203:199,09[B  ]| powers. I wish$1$ they met more frequently! ~~ I hope$1$ she 
203:199,10[B  ]| does not suppose there is any dislike$0$ on$4$ his side$0$." 
203:199,11[A  ]| "She must know herself too$5#1$ secure$2$ of the regard$0$ of all 
203:199,12[A  ]| the rest$0#1$ of you," 
203:199,12['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny with half a sigh$0$, 
203:199,12[A  ]| "to$9$ have any 
203:199,13[A  ]| such apprehension. And $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's wishing just$5$ at 
203:199,14[A  ]| first to$9$ be only with his family is so$5#1$ very natural$2$, that$3$ she 
203:199,15[A  ]| can argue nothing from that$6#2$. After$4$ a little while$0$ I dare$1#2$ 
203:199,16[A  ]| say we shall be meeting again in$4$ the same sort of way, 
203:199,17[A  ]| allowing for$4$ the difference of the time of year." 
203:199,18[B  ]| "This is the first October that$6#1$ she has passed in$4$ the 
203:199,19[B  ]| country since her infancy. I do not call$1$ Tunbridge or 
203:199,20[B  ]| Cheltenham the country; and November is a still$5$ more 
203:199,21[B  ]| serious$2$ month, and I can see that$3$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant is very 
203:199,22[B  ]| anxious for$4$ her not finding Mansfield dull as winter 
203:199,23[B  ]| comes on$5$." 
203:199,24['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could have said a great deal$0$, but 
203:199,24@a   | it was safer 
203:199,25@a   | to$9$ say nothing, and leave$1$ untouched all $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
203:199,26@a   | resources, her accomplishments, her spirits, her importance, 
203:199,27@a   | her friends, lest it should betray her into any observations 
203:199,28@a   | seemingly unhandsome. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's kind$2$ opinion of 
203:199,29@a   | herself deserved at least a grateful forbearance, and she 
203:199,30@a   | began to$9$ talk$1$ of something else. 
203:199,31[A  ]| "To-morrow, I think, my uncle dines at Sotherton, and 
203:199,32[A  ]| you and $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram too$5#2$. We shall be quite a small party 
203:199,33[A  ]| at home. I hope$1$ my uncle may$1$ continue to$9$ like$1$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
203:199,34[A  ]| 
203:199,35[B  ]| "That$6#2$ is impossible, $MP#A$Fanny. He must like$1$ him less 
203:199,36[B  ]| after$4$ to-morrow's visit$0$, for$3$ we shall be five hours in$4$ his 
203:199,37[B  ]| company. I should dread$1$ the stupidity of the day, if 
203:199,38[B  ]| there were not a much greater evil to$9$ follow ~~ the impression 
203:200,01[B  ]| it must leave$1$ on$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. He cannot much longer 
203:200,02[B  ]| deceive himself. I am sorry for$4$ them all, and would give 
203:200,03[B  ]| something that$3$ $MP#K$Rushworth and $MP#H$Maria had never met." 
203:200,04['  ]| In$4$ this quarter$0#2$, indeed, disappointment was impending 
203:200,05['  ]| over $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. Not all his good-will for$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, 
203:200,06['  ]| not all $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's deference for$4$ him, could prevent 
203:200,07['  ]| him from soon discerning some part$0$ of the truth ~~ 
203:200,07@e   | that$3$ 
203:200,08@e   | $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was an inferior young man, as ignorant in$4$ 
203:200,09@e   | business as in$4$ books, with opinions in$4$ general$0$ unfixed, and 
203:200,10@e   | without seeming much aware of it himself. 
203:200,11['  ]| He had expected a very different son-in-law; and 
203:200,12['  ]| beginning to$9$ feel grave$2$ on$4$ $MP#H$Maria's account$0$, tried to$9$ 
203:200,12['  ]| understand 
203:200,13['  ]| \her\ feelings. Little observation there was necessary 
203:200,14['  ]| to$9$ tell him that$3$ 
203:200,14@e   | indifference was the most favourable state$0$ 
203:200,15@e   | they could be in$4$. Her behaviour to$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was 
203:200,16@e   | careless and cold$2$. She could not, did not like$1$ him. 
203:200,16['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
203:200,17['  ]| resolved to$9$ speak seriously to$4$ her. 
203:200,17@e   | Advantageous 
203:200,18@e   | as would be the alliance, and long standing and public$2$ as 
203:200,19@e   | was the engagement, her happiness must not be sacrificed 
203:200,20@e   | to$4$ it. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth had perhaps been accepted on$4$ too$5#1$ 
203:200,21@e   | short an acquaintance, and on$4$ knowing him better she 
203:200,22@e   | was repenting. 
203:200,23['  ]| With solemn kindness $MP#E$Sir*Thomas addressed her; 
203:200,23@e   | told 
203:200,24@e   | her his fears, inquired into her wishes$0$, entreated her to$9$ be 
203:200,25@e   | open$2$ and sincere, and assured her that$3$ every inconvenience 
203:200,26@e   | should be braved, and the connection entirely given up$5$, if 
203:200,27@e   | she felt herself unhappy in$4$ the prospect of it. He would 
203:200,28@e   | act$1$ for$4$ her and release$1$ her. 
203:200,28['  ]| $MP#H$Maria had a moment's struggle$0$ 
203:200,29['  ]| as she listened, and only a moment's: when her father 
203:200,30['  ]| ceased, she was able to$9$ give her answer$0$ immediately, 
203:200,31['  ]| decidedly, and with no$2$ apparent agitation. 
203:200,31@h   | She thanked 
203:200,32@h   | him for$4$ his great attention, his paternal kindness, but he 
203:200,33@h   | was quite mistaken in$4$ supposing she had the smallest 
203:200,34@h   | desire$0$ of breaking through$4$ her engagement, or was sensible$2#1$ 
203:200,35@h   | of any change$0$ of opinion or inclination since her forming it. 
203:200,36@h   | She had the highest esteem$0$ for$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's character 
203:200,37@h   | and disposition, and could not have a doubt$0$ of her happiness 
203:200,38@h   | with him. 
203:201,01['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was satisfied; too$5#1$ glad to$9$ be satisfied perhaps 
203:201,02['  ]| to$9$ urge the matter quite so$5#1$ far as his judgment might 
203:201,03['  ]| have dictated to$4$ others. It was an alliance which$6#1$ he could 
203:201,04['  ]| not have relinquished without pain$0$; and thus he reasoned. 
203:201,05@e   | $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was young enough to$9$ improve; ~~ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
203:201,06@e   | must and would improve in$4$ good society; and if 
203:201,07@e   | $MP#H$Maria could now speak so$5#1$ securely of her happiness with 
203:201,08@e   | him, speaking certainly without the prejudice, the blindness 
203:201,09@e   | of love$0$, she ought to$9$ be believed. Her feelings probably 
203:201,10@e   | were not acute; he had never supposed them to$9$ be 
203:201,11@e   | so$5#2$; but her comforts might not be less on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$, 
203:201,12@e   | and if she could dispense with seeing her husband a leading, 
203:201,13@e   | shining character, there would certainly be every*thing else 
203:201,14@e   | in$4$ her favour$0$. A well-disposed young woman, who$6#1$ did not 
203:201,15@e   | marry for$4$ love$0$, was in$4$ general$0$ but the more attached to$4$ her 
203:201,16@e   | own$2$ family, and the nearness of Sotherton to$4$ Mansfield 
203:201,17@e   | must naturally hold$1$ out$5$ the greatest temptation, and 
203:201,18@e   | would, in$4$ all probability, be a continual supply$0$ of the most 
203:201,19@e   | amiable and innocent enjoyments. 
203:201,19['  ]| Such and such-like 
203:201,20['  ]| were the reasonings of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas ~~ happy to$9$ escape$1$ the 
203:201,21['  ]| embarrassing evils of a rupture, the wonder$0$, the reflections, 
203:201,22['  ]| the reproach$0$ that$6#1$ must attend it, happy to$9$ secure$1$ 
203:201,23['  ]| a marriage which$6#1$ would bring him such an addition 
203:201,24['  ]| of respectability and influence$0$, and very happy to$9$ think 
203:201,25['  ]| any*thing of his daughter's disposition that$6#1$ was most 
203:201,26['  ]| favourable for$4$ the purpose. 
203:201,27['  ]| To$4$ her the conference closed as satisfactorily as to$4$ him. 
203:201,28['  ]| She was in$4$ a state$0$ of mind$0$ to$9$ be 
203:201,28@h   | glad that$3$ she had secured 
203:201,29@h   | her fate beyond$4$ recall$0$ ~~ that$3$ she had pledged herself anew 
203:201,30@h   | to$4$ Sotherton ~~ that$3$ she was safe from the possibility of 
203:201,31@h   | giving $MP#D$Crawford the triumph$0$ of governing her actions, and 
203:201,32@h   | destroying her prospects; 
203:201,32['  ]| and retired in$4$ proud resolve$0$, 
203:201,33@h   | determined only to$9$ behave more cautiously to$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
203:201,34@h   | in$4$ future, that$3$ her father might not be again 
203:201,35@h   | suspecting her. 
203:201,36['  ]| Had $MP#E$Sir*Thomas applied to$4$ his daughter within the first 
203:201,37['  ]| three or four days after$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's leaving Mansfield, 
203:201,38['  ]| before$3$ her feelings were at all tranquillized, before$3$ 
203:202,01['  ]| she had given up$5$ every hope$0$ of him, or absolutely resolved 
203:202,02['  ]| on$4$ enduring his rival, her answer$0$ might have been different; 
203:202,03['  ]| but after$4$ another three or four days, when there was no$2$ 
203:202,04['  ]| return$0$, no$2$ letter, no$2$ message ~~ no$2$ symptom of a softened 
203:202,05['  ]| heart ~~ no$2$ hope$0$ of advantage from separation ~~ her mind$0$ 
203:202,06['  ]| became cool$2$ enough to$9$ seek all the comfort$0$ that$6#1$ pride and 
203:202,07['  ]| self-revenge could give. 
203:202,08@h   | $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had destroyed her happiness, but he 
203:202,09@h   | should not know that$3$ he had done it; he should not 
203:202,10@h   | destroy her credit$0$, her appearance, her prosperity too$5#2$. 
203:202,11@h   | He should not have to$9$ think of her as pining in$4$ the retirement 
203:202,12@h   | of Mansfield for$4$ \him\, rejecting Sotherton and London, 
203:202,13@h   | independence and splendour for$4$ \his\ sake. Independence 
203:202,14@h   | was more needful than ever; the want$0$ of it at Mansfield 
203:202,15@h   | more sensibly felt. She was less and less able to$9$ endure the 
203:202,16@h   | restraint which$6#1$ her father imposed. The liberty which$6#1$ his 
203:202,17@h   | absence had given was now become absolutely necessary. 
203:202,18@h   | She must escape$1$ from him and Mansfield as soon as 
203:202,19@h   | possible, and find consolation in$4$ fortune and consequence, 
203:202,20@h   | bustle$0$ and the world, for$4$ a wounded spirit. 
203:202,20['  ]| Her mind$0$ was 
203:202,21['  ]| quite determined and varied not. 
203:202,22['  ]| To$4$ such feelings, delay$0$, even$5$ the delay$0$ of much preparation, 
203:202,23['  ]| would have been an evil, and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth could 
203:202,24['  ]| hardly be more impatient for$4$ the marriage than herself. 
203:202,25['  ]| In$4$ all the important preparations of the mind$0$ she was 
203:202,26['  ]| complete$2$; being$1$ prepared for$4$ matrimony by$4$ an hatred of 
203:202,27['  ]| home, restraint, and tranquillity; by$4$ the misery of disappointed 
203:202,28['  ]| affection, and contempt of the man she was to$9$ 
203:202,29['  ]| marry. The rest$0#1$ might wait. The preparations of new 
203:202,30['  ]| carriages and furniture might wait for$4$ London and spring$0$, 
203:202,31['  ]| when her own$2$ taste could have fairer play$0$. 
203:202,32['  ]| The principals being$1$ all agreed in$4$ this respect$0$, it soon 
203:202,33['  ]| appeared that$3$ a very few weeks would be sufficient for$4$ 
203:202,34['  ]| such arrangements as must precede the wedding. 
203:202,35['  ]| $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth was quite ready to$9$ retire, and make$1$ way 
203:202,36['  ]| for$4$ the fortunate young woman whom$6#1$ her dear$2#1$ son had 
203:202,37['  ]| selected; ~~ and very early in$4$ November removed herself, 
203:202,38['  ]| her maid, her footman, and her chariot, with true dowager 
203:203,01['  ]| propriety, to$4$ Bath$0#1$ ~~ there to$9$ parade$1$ over the wonders$0$ 
203:203,02['  ]| of Sotherton in$4$ her evening-parties ~~ enjoying them as 
203:203,03['  ]| thoroughly perhaps in$4$ the animation of a card-table as she 
203:203,04['  ]| had ever done on$4$ the spot ~~ and before$4$ the middle of the 
203:203,05['  ]| same month the ceremony had taken place$0$, which$6#1$ gave 
203:203,06['  ]| Sotherton another mistress. 
203:203,07['  ]| It was a very proper wedding. The bride was elegantly 
203:203,08['  ]| dressed ~~ the two bridemaids were duly inferior ~~ her father 
203:203,09['  ]| gave her away ~~ her mother stood with salts in$4$ her hand$0$, 
203:203,10['  ]| expecting to$9$ be agitated ~~ her aunt tried to$9$ cry$1$ ~~ and the 
203:203,11['  ]| service was impressively read by$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant. Nothing 
203:203,12['  ]| could be objected to$5$ when it came under the discussion of 
203:203,13['  ]| the neighbourhood, except that$3$ the carriage which$6#1$ conveyed 
203:203,14['  ]| the bride and bridegroom and $MP#I$Julia from the church 
203:203,15['  ]| door to$4$ Sotherton, was the same chaise which$6#1$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
203:203,16['  ]| had used for$4$ a twelvemonth before$5$. In$4$ every*thing 
203:203,17['  ]| else the etiquette of the day might stand$1$ the strictest 
203:203,18['  ]| investigation. 
203:203,19['  ]| It was done, and they were gone. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas felt as an 
203:203,20['  ]| anxious father must feel, and was indeed experiencing 
203:203,21['  ]| much of the agitation which$6#1$ his wife had been apprehensive 
203:203,22['  ]| of for$4$ herself, but had fortunately escaped. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
203:203,23['  ]| most happy to$9$ assist in$4$ the duties of the day, by$4$ spending it 
203:203,24['  ]| at the Park to$9$ support$1$ her sister's spirits, and drinking the 
203:203,25['  ]| health of $MP#K$Mr% and $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth in$4$ a supernumerary 
203:203,26['  ]| glass or two, was all joyous delight$0$ ~~ for$3$ 
203:203,26@j   | she had made the 
203:203,27@j   | match$0$ ~~ she had done every*thing ~~ 
203:203,27['  ]| and no*one would have 
203:203,28['  ]| supposed, from her confident triumph$0$, that$3$ she had ever 
203:203,29['  ]| heard of conjugal infelicity in$4$ her life, or could have the 
203:203,30['  ]| smallest insight into the disposition of the niece who$6#1$ had 
203:203,31['  ]| been brought up$5$ under her eye. 
203:203,32['  ]| The plan of the young couple was to$9$ proceed after$4$ a few 
203:203,33['  ]| days to$4$ Brighton, and take a house there for$4$ some weeks. 
203:203,34['  ]| Every public$2$ place$0$ was new to$4$ $MP#H$Maria, and Brighton is 
203:203,35['  ]| almost as gay in$4$ winter as in$4$ summer. When the novelty 
203:203,36['  ]| of amusement there were over, it would be time for$4$ the 
203:203,37['  ]| wider range$0$ of London. 
203:203,38['  ]| $MP#I$Julia was to$9$ go with them to$4$ Brighton. Since rivalry 
203:204,01['  ]| between the sisters had ceased, they had been gradually 
203:204,02['  ]| recovering much of their former good understanding; and 
203:204,03['  ]| were at least sufficiently friends to$9$ make$1$ each of them 
203:204,04['  ]| exceedingly glad to$9$ be with the other at such a time. 
203:204,05['  ]| Some other companion than $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was of the 
203:204,06['  ]| first consequence to$4$ his lady, and $MP#I$Julia was quite as eager 
203:204,07['  ]| for$4$ novelty and pleasure as $MP#H$Maria, though she might not 
203:204,08['  ]| have struggled through$4$ so$5#1$ much to$9$ obtain them, and could 
203:204,09['  ]| better bear$1$ a subordinate situation. 
203:204,10['  ]| Their departure made another material$2$ change$0$ at Mansfield, 
203:204,11['  ]| a chasm which$6#1$ required some time to$9$ fill up$5$. The 
203:204,12['  ]| family circle became greatly contracted, and though the 
203:204,13['  ]| $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams had latterly added little to$4$ its gaiety, they 
203:204,14['  ]| could not but be missed. Even$5$ their mother missed 
203:204,15['  ]| them ~~ and how much more their tender-hearted cousin, 
203:204,16['  ]| who$6#1$ wandered about$4$ the house, and thought$1$ of them, 
203:204,17['  ]| and felt for$4$ them, with a degree of affectionate regret$0$ which$6#1$ 
203:204,18['  ]| they had never done much to$9$ deserve! 
204:205,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's consequence increased on$4$ the departure of her 
204:205,02['  ]| cousins. Becoming as she then did, the only young woman 
204:205,03['  ]| in$4$ the drawing-room, the only occupier of that$6#2$ interesting 
204:205,04['  ]| division of a family in$4$ which$6#1$ she had hitherto held so$5#1$ 
204:205,05['  ]| humble$2$ a third, it was impossible for$4$ her not to$9$ be more 
204:205,06['  ]| looked at, more thought$1$ of and attended to$5$, than she had 
204:205,07['  ]| ever been before$5$; and 
204:205,07[X  ]| "where is $MP#A$Fanny?" 
204:205,07['  ]| became no$2$ 
204:205,08['  ]| uncommon question$0$, even$5$ without her being$1$ wanted for$4$ 
204:205,09['  ]| any*one's convenience. 
204:205,10['  ]| Not only at home did her value$0$ increase$0$, but at the 
204:205,11['  ]| Parsonage too$5#2$. In$4$ that$6#2$ house which$6#1$ she had hardly entered 
204:205,12['  ]| twice a year since $MP#ZY$Mr%*Norris's death, she became a welcome$2$, 
204:205,13['  ]| an invited guest; and in$4$ the gloom and dirt of 
204:205,14['  ]| a November day, most acceptable to$4$ $MP#C$Mary*Crawford. 
204:205,15['  ]| Her visits there, beginning by$4$ chance$0$, were continued by$4$ 
204:205,16['  ]| solicitation. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, really eager to$9$ get any change$0$ for$4$ 
204:205,17['  ]| her sister, could by$4$ the easiest self-deceit persuade herself 
204:205,18['  ]| that$3$ 
204:205,18@n   | she was doing the kindest thing by$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and giving 
204:205,19@n   | her the most important opportunities of improvement in$4$ 
204:205,20@n   | pressing her frequent calls$0$. 
204:205,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, having been sent into the village on$4$ some errand 
204:205,22['  ]| by$4$ her aunt $MP#J$Norris, was overtaken by$4$ a heavy shower close$5$ 
204:205,23['  ]| to$4$ the Parsonage, and being$1$ descried from one of the 
204:205,24['  ]| windows endeavouring to$9$ find shelter under the branches 
204:205,25['  ]| and lingering leaves$0$ of an oak just$5$ beyond$4$ their premises, 
204:205,26['  ]| was forced, though not without some modest reluctance on$4$ 
204:205,27['  ]| her part$0$, to$9$ come in$5$. A civil servant she had withstood; 
204:205,28['  ]| but when $MP#M$Dr%*Grant himself went out$5$ with an umbrella, 
204:205,29['  ]| there was nothing to$9$ be done but to$9$ be very much ashamed 
204:205,30['  ]| and to$9$ get into the house as fast as possible; and to$4$ poor 
204:205,31['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
204:205,31@c   | who$6#1$ had just$5$ been contemplating the 
204:205,32@c   | dismal rain$0$ in$4$ a very desponding state$0$ of mind$0$, sighing 
204:205,33@c   | over the ruin$0$ of all her plan of exercise$0$ for$4$ that$6#2$ morning, 
204:206,01@c   | and of every chance$0$ of seeing a single creature beyond$4$ 
204:206,02@c   | themselves for$4$ the next twenty-four hours; the sound$0$ of 
204:206,03@c   | a little bustle$0$ at the front$2$ door, and the sight of $MP#A$Miss*Price 
204:206,04@c   | dripping with wet$0$ in$4$ the vestibule, was delightful. 
204:206,04['  ]| The 
204:206,05['  ]| value$0$ of an event on$4$ a wet$2$ day in$4$ the country, was most 
204:206,06['  ]| forcibly brought before$4$ her. She was all alive again directly, 
204:206,07['  ]| and among the most active in$4$ being$1$ useful to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ 
204:206,08['  ]| detecting her to$9$ be wetter than she would at first allow, and 
204:206,09['  ]| providing her with dry$2$ clothes; and $MP#A$Fanny, after$4$ being$1$ 
204:206,10['  ]| obliged to$9$ submit to$4$ all this attention, and to$4$ being$1$ assisted 
204:206,11['  ]| and waited on$5$ by$4$ mistresses and maids, being$1$ also obliged 
204:206,12['  ]| on$4$ returning down*stairs, to$9$ be fixed in$4$ their drawing-room 
204:206,13['  ]| for$4$ an hour while$3$ the rain$0$ continued, the blessing of something 
204:206,14['  ]| fresh to$9$ see and think of was thus extended to$4$ 
204:206,15['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, and might carry on$5$ her spirits to$4$ the period 
204:206,16['  ]| of dressing and dinner. 
204:206,17['  ]| The two sisters were so$5#1$ kind$2$ to$4$ her and so$5#1$ pleasant, 
204:206,18['  ]| that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny might have enjoyed her visit$0$ 
204:206,18@a   | could she have 
204:206,19@a   | believed herself not in$4$ the way, and could she have foreseen 
204:206,20@a   | that$3$ the weather would certainly clear$1$ at the end$0$ of the 
204:206,21@a   | hour, and save$1$ her from the shame$0$ of having $MP#M$Dr%*Grant's 
204:206,22@a   | carriage and horses out$5$ to$9$ take her home, with which$6#1$ she 
204:206,23@a   | was threatened. As to$4$ anxiety for$4$ any alarm$0$ that$6#1$ her 
204:206,24@a   | absence in$4$ such weather might occasion$1$ at home, she had 
204:206,25@a   | nothing to$9$ suffer on$4$ that$6#2$ score; for$3$ as her being$1$ out$5$ was 
204:206,26@a   | known only to$4$ her two aunts, she was perfectly aware that$3$ 
204:206,27@a   | none would be felt, and that$3$ in$4$ whatever cottage aunt 
204:206,28@a   | $MP#J$Norris might chuse to$9$ establish her during the rain$0$, 
204:206,29@a   | her being$1$ in$4$ such cottage would be indubitable to$4$ aunt 
204:206,30@a   | $MP#F$Bertram. 
204:206,31['  ]| It was beginning to$9$ look$1$ brighter, when $MP#A$Fanny, observing 
204:206,32['  ]| a harp in$4$ the room, asked some questions about$4$ it, which$6#1$ 
204:206,33['  ]| soon led to$4$ an acknowledgment of her wishing very much 
204:206,34['  ]| to$9$ hear it, and a confession, which$6#1$ could hardly be believed, 
204:206,35['  ]| of her having never yet heard it since its being$1$ in$4$ Mansfield. 
204:206,36['  ]| To$4$ $MP#A$Fanny herself 
204:206,36@a   | it appeared a very simple$2$ and natural$2$ 
204:206,37@a   | circumstance. She had scarcely ever been at the Parsonage 
204:206,38@a   | since the instrument's arrival, there had been no$2$ reason$0$ 
204:207,01@a   | that$3$ she should; 
204:207,01['  ]| but $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, calling to$4$ mind$0$ an 
204:207,02['  ]| early-expressed wish$0$ on$4$ the subject$0$, was concerned at her 
204:207,03['  ]| own$2$ neglect$0$; ~~ and 
204:207,03[C  ]| "shall I play$1$ to$4$ you now?" ~~ 
204:207,03['  ]| and 
204:207,04[C  ]| "what will$1$ you have?" 
204:207,04['  ]| were questions immediately 
204:207,05['  ]| following with the readiest good*humour. 
204:207,06['  ]| She played accordingly; 
204:207,06@c   | happy to$9$ have a new listener, 
204:207,07@c   | and a listener who$6#1$ seemed so$5#1$ much obliged, so$5#1$ full of 
204:207,08@c   | wonder$0$ at the performance, and who$6#1$ shewed herself not 
204:207,09@c   | wanting in$4$ taste. 
204:207,09['  ]| She played till $MP#A$Fanny's eyes, straying 
204:207,10['  ]| to$4$ the window on$4$ the weather's being$1$ evidently fair, spoke 
204:207,11['  ]| what she felt must be done. 
204:207,12[C  ]| "Another quarter$0#1$ of an hour," 
204:207,12['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
204:207,13[C  ]| "and we shall see how it will$1$ be. Do not run$1$ away 
204:207,14[C  ]| the first moment of its holding up$5$. Those clouds look$1$ 
204:207,15[C  ]| alarming." 
204:207,16[A  ]| "But they are passed over," 
204:207,16['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny. ~~ 
204:207,16[A  ]| "I have been 
204:207,17[A  ]| watching them. ~~ This weather is all from the south." 
204:207,18[C  ]| "South or north, I know a black cloud$0$ when I see it; 
204:207,19[C  ]| and you must not set$1$ forward$5$ while$3$ it is so$5#1$ threatening. 
204:207,20[C  ]| And besides, I want$1$ to$9$ play$1$ something more to$4$ you ~~ a very 
204:207,21[C  ]| pretty$2$ piece ~~ and your cousin $MP#B$Edmund's prime favourite$0$. 
204:207,22[C  ]| You must stay$1$ and hear your cousin's favourite$0$." 
204:207,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny felt that$3$ she must; and though she had not 
204:207,24['  ]| waited for$4$ that$6#2$ sentence to$9$ be thinking of $MP#B$Edmund, 
204:207,24@a   | such 
204:207,25@a   | a memento made her particularly awake$2$ to$4$ his idea, and 
204:207,26@a   | she fancied him sitting in$4$ that$6#2$ room again and again, 
204:207,27@a   | perhaps in$4$ the very spot where she sat now, listening with 
204:207,28@a   | constant delight$0$ to$4$ the favourite$2$ air, played, as it appeared 
204:207,29@a   | to$4$ her, with superior tone and expression; 
204:207,29['  ]| and though 
204:207,30['  ]| pleased with it herself, and glad to$9$ like$1$ whatever was liked 
204:207,31['  ]| by$4$ him, she was more sincerely impatient to$9$ go away at the 
204:207,32['  ]| conclusion of it than she had been before$5$; and on$4$ this 
204:207,33['  ]| being$1$ evident, she was so$5#1$ kindly asked to$9$ call$1$ again, to$9$ take 
204:207,34['  ]| them in$4$ her walk$0$ whenever she could, to$9$ come and hear 
204:207,35['  ]| more of the harp, that$3$ she felt it necessary to$9$ be done, if no$2$ 
204:207,36['  ]| objection arose at home. 
204:207,37['  ]| Such was the origin of the sort of intimacy which$6#1$ took 
204:207,38['  ]| place$0$ between them within the first fortnight after$4$ the 
204:208,01['  ]| $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams' going away, an intimacy resulting principally 
204:208,02['  ]| from $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's desire$0$ of something new, and 
204:208,03['  ]| which$6#1$ had little reality in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's feelings. $MP#A$Fanny went 
204:208,04['  ]| to$4$ her every two or three days; 
204:208,04@a   | it seemed a kind$0$ of fascination; 
204:208,05@a   | she could not be easy without going, and yet it was 
204:208,06@a   | without loving her, without ever thinking like$4$ her, without 
204:208,07@a   | any sense of obligation for$4$ being$1$ sought after$5$ now when 
204:208,08@a   | nobody else was to$9$ be had; and deriving no$2$ higher pleasure 
204:208,09@a   | from her conversation than occasional amusement, 
204:208,10@a   | and \that$6#2$\ often at the expense of her judgment, when it 
204:208,11@a   | was raised by$4$ pleasantry on$4$ people or subjects which$6#1$ she 
204:208,12@a   | wished to$9$ be respected. 
204:208,12['  ]| She went however, and they 
204:208,13['  ]| sauntered about$5$ together many an half hour in$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's 
204:208,14['  ]| shrubbery, the weather being$1$ unusually mild for$4$ the time 
204:208,15['  ]| of year; and venturing sometimes even$5$ to$9$ sit down$5$ on$4$ one 
204:208,16['  ]| of the benches now comparatively unsheltered, remaining 
204:208,17['  ]| there perhaps till in$4$ the midst of some tender$2$ ejaculation 
204:208,18['  ]| of $MP#A$Fanny's, on$4$ the sweets of so$5#1$ protracted an autumn, they 
204:208,19['  ]| were forced by$4$ the sudden$2$ swell of a cold$2$ gust shaking 
204:208,20['  ]| down$5$ the last$2$ few yellow leaves$0$ about$4$ them, to$9$ jump up$5$ 
204:208,21['  ]| and walk$1$ for$4$ warmth. 
204:208,22[A  ]| "This is pretty$2$ ~~ very pretty$2$," 
204:208,22['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, looking 
204:208,23['  ]| around$4$ her as they were thus sitting together one day: 
204:208,24[A  ]| "Every time I come into this shrubbery I am more struck 
204:208,25[A  ]| with its growth and beauty. Three years ago, this was 
204:208,26[A  ]| nothing but a rough hedgerow along$4$ the upper side$0$ of the 
204:208,27[A  ]| field, never thought$1$ of as any*thing, or capable of becoming 
204:208,28[A  ]| any*thing; and now it is converted into a walk$0$, and 
204:208,29[A  ]| it would be difficult to$9$ say whether most valuable as 
204:208,30[A  ]| a convenience or an ornament; and perhaps in$4$ another 
204:208,31[A  ]| three years we may$1$ be forgetting ~~ almost forgetting what 
204:208,32[A  ]| it was before$5$. How wonderful, how very wonderful the 
204:208,33[A  ]| operations of time, and the changes$0$ of the human mind$0$!" 
204:208,34['  ]| And following the latter train of thought$0$, she soon afterwards 
204:208,35['  ]| added: 
204:208,35[A  ]| "If any one faculty of our nature may$1$ be 
204:208,36[A  ]| called \more\ wonderful than the rest$0#1$, I do think it is 
204:208,37[A  ]| memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible 
204:208,38[A  ]| in$4$ the powers, the failures, the inequalities 
204:209,01[A  ]| of memory, than in$4$ any other of our intelligences. The 
204:209,02[A  ]| memory is sometimes so$5#1$ retentive, so$5#1$ serviceable, so$5#1$ 
204:209,03[A  ]| obedient ~~ at others, so$5#1$ bewildered and so$5#1$ weak ~~ and at 
204:209,04[A  ]| others again, so$5#1$ tyrannic, so$5#1$ beyond$4$ controul! ~~ We are 
204:209,05[A  ]| to$9$ be sure a miracle every way ~~ but our powers of recollecting 
204:209,06[A  ]| and of forgetting, do seem peculiarly past$4$ finding 
204:209,07[A  ]| out$5$." 
204:209,08['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, untouched and inattentive, had nothing 
204:209,09['  ]| to$9$ say; and $MP#A$Fanny, perceiving it, brought back$5$ her own$2$ 
204:209,10['  ]| mind$0$ to$4$ what she thought$1$ must interest$1$. 
204:209,11[A  ]| "It may$1$ seem impertinent in$4$ \me\ to$9$ praise$1$, but I must 
204:209,12[A  ]| admire the taste $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant has shewn in$4$ all this. There 
204:209,13[A  ]| is such a quiet$2$ simplicity in$4$ the plan of the walk$0$! ~~ not 
204:209,14[A  ]| too$5#1$ much attempted!" 
204:209,15[C  ]| "Yes," 
204:209,15['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford carelessly, 
204:209,15[C  ]| "it does very 
204:209,16[C  ]| well$5$ for$4$ a place$0$ of this sort. One does not think of extent 
204:209,17[C  ]| \here\ ~~ and between ourselves, till I came to$4$ Mansfield, I 
204:209,18[C  ]| had not imagined a country parson ever aspired to$4$ a 
204:209,19[C  ]| shrubbery or any*thing of the kind$0$." 
204:209,20[A  ]| "I am so$5#1$ glad to$9$ see the evergreens thrive!" 
204:209,20['  ]| said 
204:209,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny in$4$ reply$0$. 
204:209,21[A  ]| "My uncle's gardener always says the 
204:209,22[A  ]| soil here is better than his own$2$, and so$5#2$ it appears from 
204:209,23[A  ]| the growth of the laurels and evergreens in$4$ general$0$. ~~ The 
204:209,24[A  ]| evergreen! ~~ How beautiful, how welcome$2$, how wonderful 
204:209,25[A  ]| the evergreen! ~~ When one thinks of it, how astonishing 
204:209,26[A  ]| a variety of nature! ~~ In$4$ some countries we know the 
204:209,27[A  ]| tree that$6#1$ sheds its leaf is the variety, but that$6#2$ does not 
204:209,28[A  ]| make$1$ it less amazing, that$3$ the same soil and the same sun 
204:209,29[A  ]| should nurture plants differing in$4$ the first rule and law 
204:209,30[A  ]| of their existence. You will$1$ think me rhapsodizing; but 
204:209,31[A  ]| when I am out$5$ of doors, especially when I am sitting out$5$ 
204:209,32[A  ]| of doors, I am very apt to$9$ get into this sort of wondering 
204:209,33[A  ]| strain. One cannot fix one's eyes on$4$ the commonest 
204:209,34[A  ]| natural$2$ production without finding food for$4$ a rambling 
204:209,35[A  ]| fancy$0$." 
204:209,36[C  ]| "To$9$ say the truth," 
204:209,36['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
204:209,36[C  ]| "I am 
204:209,37[C  ]| something like$4$ the famous Doge at the court$0$ of $MP#Z1$Lewis*XIV; 
204:209,38[C  ]| and may$1$ declare that$3$ I see no$2$ wonder$0$ in$4$ this shrubbery 
204:210,01[C  ]| equal$2$ to$4$ seeing myself in$4$ it. If any*body had told me 
204:210,02[C  ]| a year ago that$3$ this place$0$ would be my home, that$3$ I 
204:210,03[C  ]| should be spending month after$4$ month here, as I have 
204:210,04[C  ]| done, I certainly should not have believed them! ~~ I have 
204:210,05[C  ]| now been here nearly five months! and moreover the 
204:210,06[C  ]| quietest five months I ever passed." 
204:210,07[A  ]| "\Too$5#1$\ quiet$2$ for$4$ you I believe." 
204:210,08[C  ]| "I should have thought$1$ so$5#2$ \theoretically\ myself, but" 
204:210,09['  ]| ~~ and her eyes brightened as she spoke ~~ 
204:210,09[C  ]| "take it all and 
204:210,10[C  ]| all, I never spent so$5#1$ happy a summer. ~~ But then" ~~ 
204:210,11['  ]| with a more thoughtful air and lowered voice ~~ 
204:210,11[C  ]| "there 
204:210,12[C  ]| is no$2$ saying what it may$1$ lead$1$ to$4$." 
204:210,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's heart beat quick$2$, and she felt quite unequal 
204:210,14['  ]| to$4$ surmising or soliciting any*thing more. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
204:210,15['  ]| however, with renewed animation, soon went on$5$: 
204:210,16[C  ]| "I am conscious of being$1$ far better reconciled to$4$ a 
204:210,17[C  ]| country residence than I had ever expected to$9$ be. I can 
204:210,18[C  ]| even$5$ suppose it pleasant to$9$ spend \half\ the year in$4$ the 
204:210,19[C  ]| country, under certain circumstances ~~ very pleasant. 
204:210,20[C  ]| An elegant, moderate-sized house in$4$ the centre$0$ of family 
204:210,21[C  ]| connections ~~ continual engagements among them ~~ commanding 
204:210,22[C  ]| the first society in$4$ the neighbourhood ~~ looked-up 
204:210,23[C  ]| to$5$ perhaps as leading it even$5$ more than those of larger 
204:210,24[C  ]| fortune, and turning from the cheerful round$0$ of such 
204:210,25[C  ]| amusements to$4$ nothing worse than a te^te-a`-te^te with the 
204:210,26[C  ]| person one feels most agreeable in$4$ the world. There is 
204:210,27[C  ]| nothing frightful in$4$ such a picture$0$, is there, $MP#A$Miss*Price? 
204:210,28[C  ]| One need$1$ not envy$1$ the new $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth with such 
204:210,29[C  ]| a home as \that$6#2$\?" 
204:210,29[A  ]| "Envy$1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth!" 
204:210,29['  ]| was all that$6#1$ 
204:210,30['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny attempted to$9$ say. 
204:210,30[C  ]| "Come, come, it would be very 
204:210,31[C  ]| unhandsome in$4$ us to$9$ be severe on$4$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth, for$3$ I 
204:210,32[C  ]| look$1$ forward$5$ to$4$ our owing her a great many gay, brilliant, 
204:210,33[C  ]| happy hours. I expect we shall be all very much at 
204:210,34[C  ]| Sotherton another year. Such a match$0$ as $MP#H$Miss*Bertram 
204:210,35[C  ]| has made is a public$2$ blessing, for$3$ the first pleasures of 
204:210,36[C  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's wife must be to$9$ fill her house, and give 
204:210,37[C  ]| the best balls in$4$ the country." 
204:210,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was silent ~~ and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford relapsed into 
204:211,01['  ]| thoughtfulness, till suddenly looking up$5$ at the end$0$ of 
204:211,02['  ]| a few minutes, she exclaimed, 
204:211,02[C  ]| "Ah! here he is." 
204:211,02['  ]| It was 
204:211,03['  ]| not $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, however, but $MP#B$Edmund, who$6#1$ then 
204:211,04['  ]| appeared walking towards them with $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant. 
204:211,04[C  ]| "My 
204:211,05[C  ]| sister and $MP#B$Mr%*Bertram ~~ I am so$5#1$ glad your eldest cousin 
204:211,06[C  ]| is gone that$3$ he \may$1$\ be $MP#B$Mr%*Bertram again. There is 
204:211,07[C  ]| something in$4$ the sound$0$ of $MP#B$Mr%*\Edmund\*Bertram so$5#1$ formal, 
204:211,08[C  ]| so$5#1$ pitiful, so$5#1$ younger-brother-like, that$3$ I detest it." 
204:211,09[A  ]| "How differently we feel!" 
204:211,09['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny. 
204:211,09[A  ]| "To$4$ me, the 
204:211,10[A  ]| sound$0$ of $MP#B$\Mr\%*Bertram is so$5#1$ cold$2$ and nothing-meaning ~~ 
204:211,11[A  ]| so$5#1$ entirely without warmth or character! ~~ It just$5$ stands 
204:211,12[A  ]| for$4$ a gentleman, and that's all. But there is nobleness 
204:211,13[A  ]| in$4$ the name$0$ of $MP#B$Edmund. It is a name$0$ of heroism and 
204:211,14[A  ]| renown ~~ of kings, princes, and knights; and seems to$9$ 
204:211,15[A  ]| breathe the spirit of chivalry and warm$2$ affections." 
204:211,16[C  ]| "I grant you the name$0$ is good in$4$ itself, and $MP#B$\Lord\*Edmund 
204:211,17[C  ]| or $MP#B$\Sir\*Edmund sound$1$ delightfully; but sink it 
204:211,18[C  ]| under the chill, the annihilation of a Mr% ~~ and $MP#B$Mr%*Edmund 
204:211,19[C  ]| is no$2$ more than $MP#X$Mr%*John or $MP#X$Mr%*Thomas. Well$7$, shall we 
204:211,20[C  ]| join and disappoint them of half their lecture upon$4$ sitting 
204:211,21[C  ]| down$5$ out$5$ of doors at this time of year, by$4$ being$1$ up$5$ before$3$ 
204:211,22[C  ]| they can begin?" 
204:211,23['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund met them with particular pleasure. It was 
204:211,24['  ]| the first time of his seeing them together since the beginning 
204:211,25['  ]| of that$6#2$ better acquaintance which$6#1$ he had been hearing 
204:211,26['  ]| of with great satisfaction. A friendship between two 
204:211,27['  ]| so$5#1$ very dear$2#1$ to$4$ him was exactly what he could have wished; 
204:211,28['  ]| and to$4$ the credit$0$ of the lover's understanding be it stated, 
204:211,29['  ]| that$3$ he did not by$4$ any means$0$ consider $MP#A$Fanny as the only, 
204:211,30['  ]| or even$5$ as the greater gainer by$4$ such a friendship. 
204:211,31[C  ]| "Well$7$," 
204:211,31['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
204:211,31[C  ]| "and do not you scold us 
204:211,32[C  ]| for$4$ our imprudence? What do you think we have been 
204:211,33[C  ]| sitting down$5$ for$4$ but to$9$ be talked to$5$ about$4$ it, and entreated 
204:211,34[C  ]| and supplicated never to$9$ do so$5#2$ again?" 
204:211,35[B  ]| "Perhaps I might have scolded," 
204:211,35['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
204:211,35[B  ]| "if 
204:211,36[B  ]| either of you had been sitting down$5$ alone; but while$3$ you 
204:211,37[B  ]| do wrong together I can overlook a great deal$0$." 
204:211,38[N  ]| "They cannot have been sitting long," 
204:211,38['  ]| cried $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, 
204:212,01[N  ]| "for$3$ when I went up$5$ for$4$ my shawl I saw them 
204:212,02[N  ]| from the staircase window, and then they were walking." 
204:212,03[B  ]| "And really," 
204:212,03['  ]| added $MP#B$Edmund, 
204:212,03[B  ]| "the day is so$5#1$ mild, 
204:212,04[B  ]| that$3$ your sitting down$5$ for$4$ a few minutes can be hardly 
204:212,05[B  ]| thought$1$ imprudent. Our weather must not always be 
204:212,06[B  ]| judged by$4$ the Calendar. We may$1$ sometimes take greater 
204:212,07[B  ]| liberties in$4$ November than in$4$ May$0$." 
204:212,08[C  ]| "Upon$4$ my word," 
204:212,08['  ]| cried $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
204:212,08[C  ]| "you are two 
204:212,09[C  ]| of the most disappointing and unfeeling kind$2$ friends I ever 
204:212,10[C  ]| met with! There is no$2$ giving you a moment's uneasiness. 
204:212,11[C  ]| You do not know how much we have been suffering, nor 
204:212,12[C  ]| what chills we have felt! But I have long thought$1$ $MP#B$Mr%*Bertram 
204:212,13[C  ]| one of the worst subjects to$9$ work$1$ on$4$, in$4$ any little 
204:212,14[C  ]| mano*euvre against common$2$ sense, that$6#1$ a woman could be 
204:212,15[C  ]| plagued with. I had very little hope$0$ of \him\ from the 
204:212,16[C  ]| first; but you, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, my sister, my own$2$ sister, I 
204:212,17[C  ]| think I had a right$0$ to$9$ alarm$1$ you a little." 
204:212,18[N  ]| "Do not flatter yourself, my dearest $MP#C$Mary. You have 
204:212,19[N  ]| not the smallest chance$0$ of moving me. I have my alarms, 
204:212,20[N  ]| but they are quite in$4$ a different quarter$0#2$: and if I could 
204:212,21[N  ]| have altered the weather, you would have had a good 
204:212,22[N  ]| sharp east wind blowing on$4$ you the whole$2$ time ~~ for$3$ here 
204:212,23[N  ]| are some of my plants which$6#1$ $MP#ZZE$Robert \will$1$\ leave$1$ out$5$ 
204:212,23[N  ]| because 
204:212,24[N  ]| the nights are so$5#1$ mild, and I know the end$0$ of it will$1$ be 
204:212,25[N  ]| that$3$ we shall have a sudden$2$ change$0$ of weather, a hard 
204:212,26[N  ]| frost setting in$4$ all at once, taking every*body (at least 
204:212,27[N  ]| $MP#ZZE$Robert) by$4$ surprize$0$, and I shall lose every one; and what 
204:212,28[N  ]| is worse, cook has just$5$ been telling me that$3$ the turkey, 
204:212,29[N  ]| which$6#1$ I particularly wished not to$9$ be dressed till Sunday, 
204:212,30[N  ]| because I know how much more $MP#M$Dr%*Grant would enjoy 
204:212,31[N  ]| it on$4$ Sunday after$4$ the fatigues$0$ of the day, will$1$ not keep 
204:212,32[N  ]| beyond$4$ to-morrow. These are something like$4$ grievances, 
204:212,33[N  ]| and make$1$ me think the weather most unseasonably close$2$." 
204:212,34[C  ]| "The sweets of housekeeping in$4$ a country village!" 
204:212,35['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford archly. 
204:212,35[C  ]| "Commend me to$4$ the nurseryman 
204:212,36[C  ]| and the poulterer." 
204:212,37[N  ]| "My dear$2#1$ child, commend $MP#M$Dr%*Grant to$4$ the deanery 
204:212,38[N  ]| of Westminster or St%*Paul's, and I should be as glad of 
204:213,01[N  ]| your nurseryman and poulterer as you could be. But we 
204:213,02[N  ]| have no$2$ such people in$4$ Mansfield. What would you have 
204:213,03[N  ]| me do?" 
204:213,04[C  ]| "Oh! you can do nothing but what you do already; 
204:213,05[C  ]| be plagued very often and never lose your temper." 
204:213,06[N  ]| "Thank you ~~ but there is no$2$ escaping these little vexations, 
204:213,07[N  ]| $MP#C$Mary, live where we may$1$; and when you are settled 
204:213,08[N  ]| in$4$ town and I come to$9$ see you, I dare$1#2$ say I shall 
204:213,09[N  ]| find you with yours, in$4$ spite$8$ of the nurseryman and the 
204:213,10[N  ]| poulterer ~~ or perhaps on$4$ their very account$0$. Their 
204:213,11[N  ]| remoteness and unpunctuality, or their exorbitant charges 
204:213,12[N  ]| and frauds will$1$ be drawing forth bitter lamentations." 
204:213,13[C  ]| "I mean$1$ to$9$ be too$5#1$ rich to$9$ lament or to$9$ feel any*thing 
204:213,14[C  ]| of the sort. A large income is the best recipe= for$4$ happiness 
204:213,15[C  ]| I ever heard of. It certainly may$1$ secure$1$ all the 
204:213,16[C  ]| myrtle and turkey part$0$ of it." 
204:213,17[B  ]| "You intend to$9$ be very rich," 
204:213,17['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, with a look$0$ 
204:213,18['  ]| which$6#1$, to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's eye, had a great deal$0$ of serious$2$ meaning. 
204:213,19[C  ]| "To$9$ be sure. Do not you? ~~ Do not we all?" 
204:213,20[B  ]| "I cannot intend any*thing which$6#1$ it must be so$5#1$ completely 
204:213,21[B  ]| beyond$4$ my power to$9$ command$1$. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
204:213,22[B  ]| may$1$ chuse her degree of wealth. She has only to$9$ fix on$4$ 
204:213,23[B  ]| her number of thousands a year, and there can be no$2$ 
204:213,24[B  ]| doubt$0$ of their coming. My intentions are only not to$9$ 
204:213,25[B  ]| be poor." 
204:213,26[C  ]| "By$4$ moderation and economy, and bringing down$5$ your 
204:213,27[C  ]| wants$0$ to$4$ your income, and all that$6#2$. I understand you ~~ 
204:213,28[C  ]| and a very proper plan it is for$4$ a person at your time of 
204:213,29[C  ]| life, with such limited means$0$ and indifferent connections. 
204:213,30[C  ]| ~~ What can \you\ want$1$ but a decent maintenance? You 
204:213,31[C  ]| have not much time before$4$ you; and your relations are 
204:213,32[C  ]| in$4$ no$2$ situation to$9$ do any*thing for$4$ you, or to$9$ mortify you 
204:213,33[C  ]| by$4$ the contrast of their own$2$ wealth and consequence. 
204:213,34[C  ]| Be honest and poor, by$4$ all means$0$ ~~ but I shall not envy$1$ 
204:213,35[C  ]| you; I do not much think I shall even$5$ respect$1$ you. I 
204:213,36[C  ]| have a much greater respect$0$ for$4$ those that$6#1$ are honest and 
204:213,37[C  ]| rich." 
204:213,38[B  ]| "Your degree of respect$0$ for$4$ honesty, rich or poor, is 
204:214,01[B  ]| precisely what I have no$2$ manner of concern$0$ with. I do 
204:214,02[B  ]| not mean$1$ to$9$ be poor. Poverty is exactly what I have 
204:214,03[B  ]| determined against. Honesty, in$4$ the something between, 
204:214,04[B  ]| in$4$ the middle state$0$ of worldly circumstances, is all that$6#1$ 
204:214,05[B  ]| I am anxious for$4$ your not looking down$5$ on$5$." 
204:214,06[C  ]| "But I do look$1$ down$5$ upon$4$ it, if it might have been 
204:214,07[C  ]| higher. I must look$1$ down$5$ upon$4$ any*thing contented 
204:214,08[C  ]| with obscurity when it might rise$1$ to$4$ distinction." 
204:214,09[B  ]| "But how may$1$ it rise$1$? ~~ How may$1$ my honesty at 
204:214,10[B  ]| least rise$1$ to$4$ any distinction?" 
204:214,11['  ]| This was not so$5#1$ very easy a question$0$ to$9$ answer$1$, and 
204:214,12['  ]| occasioned an 
204:214,12[C  ]| "Oh!" 
204:214,12['  ]| of some length from the fair lady 
204:214,13['  ]| before$3$ she could add 
204:214,13[C  ]| "You ought to$9$ be in$4$ parliament, 
204:214,14[C  ]| or you should have gone into the army ten years ago." 
204:214,15[B  ]| "\That$6#2$\ is not much to$4$ the purpose now; and as to$4$ my 
204:214,16[B  ]| being$1$ in$4$ parliament, I believe I must wait till there is an 
204:214,17[B  ]| especial assembly for$4$ the representation of younger sons 
204:214,18[B  ]| who$6#1$ have little to$9$ live on$4$. No$7$, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford," 
204:214,18['  ]| he added, 
204:214,19['  ]| in$4$ a more serious$2$ tone, 
204:214,19[B  ]| "there \are\ distinctions which$6#1$ I 
204:214,20[B  ]| should be miserable if I thought$1$ myself without any 
204:214,21[B  ]| chance$0$ ~~ absolutely without chance$0$ or possibility of obtaining ~~ 
204:214,22[B  ]| but they are of a different character." 
204:214,23@a   | A look$0$ of consciousness as he spoke, and what seemed 
204:214,24@a   | a consciousness of manner on$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's side$0$ as she 
204:214,25@a   | made some laughing answer$0$, was sorrowful food for$4$ 
204:214,26@a   | $MP#A$Fanny's observation; and finding herself quite unable to$9$ 
204:214,27@a   | attend as she ought to$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, by$4$ whose$6#1$ side$0$ she was 
204:214,28@a   | now following the others, she had nearly resolved on$4$ 
204:214,29@a   | going home immediately, and only waited for$4$ courage to$9$ 
204:214,30@a   | say so$5#2$, when the sound$0$ of the great clock at Mansfield*Park, 
204:214,31@a   | striking three, made her feel that$3$ she had really 
204:214,32@a   | been much longer absent than usual, and brought the 
204:214,33@a   | previous self-inquiry of whether she should take leave$0$ or 
204:214,34@a   | not just$5$ then, and how, to$4$ a very speedy issue$0$. 
204:214,34['  ]| With 
204:214,35['  ]| undoubting decision she directly began her adieus; and 
204:214,36['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund began at the same time to$9$ recollect, that$3$ 
204:214,36@b   | his 
204:214,37@b   | mother had been inquiring for$4$ her, and that$3$ he had walked 
204:214,38@b   | down$5$ to$4$ the Parsonage on$4$ purpose to$9$ bring her back$5$. 
204:215,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's hurry$0$ increased; and without in$4$ the least 
204:215,02['  ]| expecting $MP#B$Edmund's attendance, she would have hastened 
204:215,03['  ]| away alone; but the general$2$ pace$0$ was quickened, and 
204:215,04['  ]| they all accompanied her into the house, through$4$ which$6#1$ 
204:215,05['  ]| it was necessary to$9$ pass$1$. $MP#M$Dr%*Grant was in$4$ the vestibule, 
204:215,06['  ]| and as they stopt to$9$ speak to$4$ him, she found from $MP#B$Edmund's 
204:215,07['  ]| manner that$3$ 
204:215,07@a   | he \did\ mean$1$ to$9$ go with her. ~~ He too$5#2$ 
204:215,08@a   | was taking leave$0$. ~~ She could not but be thankful. ~~ 
204:215,08['  ]| In$4$ 
204:215,09['  ]| the moment of parting, $MP#B$Edmund was invited by$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant 
204:215,10['  ]| to$9$ eat his mutton with him the next day; and 
204:215,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had barely time for$4$ an unpleasant feeling on$4$ the 
204:215,12['  ]| occasion$0$, when $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, with sudden$2$ recollection, 
204:215,13['  ]| turned to$4$ her and asked for$4$ the pleasure of her company 
204:215,14['  ]| too$5#2$. This was so$5#1$ new an attention, so$5#1$ perfectly new a 
204:215,15['  ]| circumstance in$4$ the events of $MP#A$Fanny's life, that$3$ she was 
204:215,16['  ]| all surprize$0$ and embarrassment; and while$4$ stammering
204:215,17['  ]| out$5$ her great obligation, and her ~~ 
204:215,17[A  ]| "but she did not suppose 
204:215,18[A  ]| it would be in$4$ her power," 
204:215,18['  ]| was looking at $MP#B$Edmund 
204:215,19['  ]| for$4$ his opinion and help$0$. ~~ But $MP#B$Edmund, 
204:215,19@b   | delighted with 
204:215,20@b   | her having such an happiness offered, and ascertaining 
204:215,21@b   | with half a look$0$, and half a sentence, that$3$ she had no$2$ 
204:215,22@b   | objection but on$4$ her aunt's account$0$, could not imagine 
204:215,23@b   | that$3$ his mother would make$1$ any difficulty of sparing her, 
204:215,24@b   | and therefore gave his decided open$2$ advice that$3$ the invitation 
204:215,25@b   | should be accepted; 
204:215,25['  ]| and though $MP#A$Fanny would not 
204:215,26['  ]| venture, even$5$ on$4$ his encouragement, to$4$ such a flight of 
204:215,27['  ]| audacious independence, it was soon settled that$3$ if nothing 
204:215,28['  ]| were heard to$4$ the contrary, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant might expect her. 
204:215,29[N  ]| "And you know what your dinner will$1$ be," 
204:215,29['  ]| said $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, 
204:215,30['  ]| smiling ~~ 
204:215,30[N  ]| "the turkey ~~ and I assure you a very 
204:215,31[N  ]| fine one; for$3$, my dear$2#1$" ~~ 
204:215,31['  ]| turning to$4$ her husband ~~ 
204:215,31[N  ]| "cook 
204:215,32[N  ]| insists upon$4$ the turkey's being$1$ dressed to-morrow." 
204:215,33[M  ]| "Very well$5$, very well$5$," 
204:215,33['  ]| cried $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
204:215,33[M  ]| "all the better. 
204:215,34[M  ]| I am glad to$9$ hear you have any*thing so$5#1$ good in$4$ the house. 
204:215,35[M  ]| But $MP#A$Miss*Price and $MP#B$Mr%*Edmund*Bertram, I dare$1#2$ say, 
204:215,36[M  ]| would take their chance$0$. We none of us want$1$ to$9$ hear 
204:215,37[M  ]| the bill of fare$0$. A friendly meeting, and not a fine dinner, 
204:215,38[M  ]| is all we have in$4$ view$0$. A turkey or a goose, or a leg 
204:216,01[M  ]| of mutton, or whatever you and your cook chuse to$9$ 
204:216,02[M  ]| give us." 
204:216,03['  ]| The two cousins walked home together; and except 
204:216,04['  ]| in$4$ the immediate discussion of this engagement, which$6#1$ 
204:216,05['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund spoke of with the warmest satisfaction, as 
204:216,05@b   | so$5#1$ 
204:216,06@b   | particularly desirable for$4$ her in$4$ the intimacy which$6#1$ he 
204:216,07@b   | saw with so$5#1$ much pleasure established, 
204:216,07['  ]| it was a silent walk$0$ 
204:216,08['  ]| ~~ for$3$ having finished that$6#2$ subject$0$, he grew thoughtful and 
204:216,09['  ]| indisposed for$4$ any other. 
205:217,01[F  ]| "But why should $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant ask $MP#A$Fanny?" 
205:217,01['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram. 
205:217,02[F  ]| "How came she to$9$ think of asking $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ 
205:217,03[F  ]| $MP#A$Fanny never dines there, you know, in$4$ this sort of way. 
205:217,04[F  ]| I cannot spare$1$ her, and I am sure she does not want$1$ to$9$ go. 
205:217,05[F  ]| ~~ $MP#A$Fanny, you do not want$1$ to$9$ go, do you?" 
205:217,06[B  ]| "If you put such a question$0$ to$4$ her," 
205:217,06['  ]| cried $MP#B$Edmund, 
205:217,07['  ]| preventing his cousin's speaking, 
205:217,07[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny will$1$ immediately 
205:217,08[B  ]| say, no$7$; but I am sure, my dear$2#1$ mother, she 
205:217,09[B  ]| would like$1$ to$9$ go; and I can see no$2$ reason$0$ why she should 
205:217,10[B  ]| not." 
205:217,11[F  ]| "I cannot imagine why $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant should think of 
205:217,12[F  ]| asking her. ~~ She never did before$5$. ~~ She used to$9$ ask your 
205:217,13[F  ]| sisters now and then, but she never asked $MP#A$Fanny." 
205:217,14[A  ]| "If you cannot do without me, ma'am," 
205:217,14['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, 
205:217,15['  ]| in$4$ a self-denying tone ~~ 
205:217,16[B  ]| "But my mother will$1$ have my father with her all the 
205:217,17[B  ]| evening." 
205:217,18[F  ]| "To$9$ be sure, so$5#2$ I shall." 
205:217,19[B  ]| "Suppose you take my father's opinion, ma'am." 
205:217,20[F  ]| "That's well$5$ thought$1$ of. So$5#2$ I will$1$, $MP#B$Edmund. I will$1$ 
205:217,21[F  ]| ask $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, as soon as he comes in$5$, whether I can do 
205:217,22[F  ]| without her." 
205:217,23[B  ]| "As you please, ma'am, on$4$ that$6#2$ head$0$; but I meant 
205:217,24[B  ]| my father's opinion as to$4$ the \propriety\ of the invitation's 
205:217,25[B  ]| being$1$ accepted or not; and I think he will$1$ consider it 
205:217,26[B  ]| a right$2#1$ thing by$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, as well$5$ as by$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ 
205:217,27[B  ]| being$1$ the \first\ invitation it should be accepted." 
205:217,28[F  ]| "I do not know. We will$1$ ask him. But he will$1$ be 
205:217,29[F  ]| very much surprized that$3$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant should ask $MP#A$Fanny 
205:217,30[F  ]| at all." 
205:217,31['  ]| There was nothing more to$9$ be said, or that$6#1$ could be said 
205:217,32['  ]| to$4$ any purpose, till $MP#E$Sir*Thomas were present$5$; but the 
205:217,33['  ]| subject$0$ involving, as it did, her own$2$ evening's comfort$0$ 
205:218,01['  ]| for$4$ the morrow, was so$5#1$ much uppermost in$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
205:218,02['  ]| mind$0$, that$3$ half an hour afterwards, on$4$ his looking in$5$ for$4$ 
205:218,03['  ]| a minute$0$ in$4$ his way from his plantation to$4$ his dressing-room, 
205:218,04['  ]| she called him back$5$ again, when he had almost 
205:218,05['  ]| closed the door, with 
205:218,05[F  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas, stop$1$ a moment ~~ I 
205:218,06[F  ]| have something to$9$ say to$4$ you." 
205:218,07['  ]| Her tone of calm$2$ languor, for$3$ she never took the trouble$0$ 
205:218,08['  ]| of raising her voice, was always heard and attended to$5$; 
205:218,09['  ]| and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas came back$5$. Her story began; and 
205:218,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny immediately slipped out$5$ of the room; 
205:218,10@a   | for$3$ to$9$ hear 
205:218,11@a   | herself the subject$0$ of any discussion with her uncle, was 
205:218,12@a   | more than her nerves could bear$1$. She was anxious, she 
205:218,13@a   | knew ~~ more anxious perhaps than she ought to$9$ be ~~ for$3$ 
205:218,14@a   | what was it after$4$ all whether she went or staid? ~~ but if 
205:218,15@a   | her uncle were to$9$ be a great while$0$ considering and deciding, 
205:218,16@a   | and with very grave$2$ looks$0$, and those grave$2$ looks$0$ directed 
205:218,17@a   | to$4$ her, and at last$0$ decide against her, she might not be 
205:218,18@a   | able to$9$ appear properly submissive and indifferent. 
205:218,18['  ]| Her 
205:218,19['  ]| cause meanwhile went on$5$ well$5$. It began on$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
205:218,20['  ]| part$0$, with, 
205:218,20[F  ]| "I have something to$9$ tell you that$6#1$ will$1$ 
205:218,21[F  ]| surprize$1$ you. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant has asked $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ dinner!" 
205:218,22[E  ]| "Well$7$," 
205:218,22['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, as if waiting more to$9$ accomplish 
205:218,23['  ]| the surprize$0$. 
205:218,24[F  ]| "$MP#B$Edmund wants$1$ her to$9$ go. But how can I spare$1$ her?" 
205:218,25[E  ]| "She will$1$ be late," 
205:218,25['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, taking out$5$ his 
205:218,26['  ]| watch$0$, 
205:218,26[E  ]| "but what is your difficulty?" 
205:218,27['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund found himself obliged to$9$ speak and fill up$5$ the 
205:218,28['  ]| blanks in$4$ his mother's story. He told the whole$0$, and she 
205:218,29['  ]| had only to$9$ add, 
205:218,29[F  ]| "So$5#1$ strange! for$3$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant never used 
205:218,30[F  ]| to$9$ ask her." 
205:218,31[B  ]| "But is not it very natural$2$," 
205:218,31['  ]| observed $MP#B$Edmund, 
205:218,31[B  ]| "that$3$ 
205:218,32[B  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant should wish$1$ to$9$ procure so$5#1$ agreeable a visitor 
205:218,33[B  ]| for$4$ her sister?" 
205:218,34[E  ]| "Nothing can be more natural$2$," 
205:218,34['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, after$4$ 
205:218,35['  ]| a short deliberation; 
205:218,35[E  ]| "nor, were there no$2$ sister in$4$ the 
205:218,36[E  ]| case, could any*thing in$4$ my opinion be more natural$2$. 
205:218,37[E  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's shewing civility to$4$ $MP#A$Miss*Price, to$4$ 
205:218,37[E  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
205:218,38[E  ]| niece, could never want$1$ explanation. The only 
205:219,01[E  ]| surprize$0$ I can feel is that$3$ this should be the \first\ time of 
205:219,02[E  ]| its being$1$ paid. $MP#A$Fanny was perfectly right$2#1$ in$4$ giving only 
205:219,03[E  ]| a conditional answer$0$. She appears to$9$ feel as she ought. 
205:219,04[E  ]| But as I conclude that$3$ she must wish$1$ to$9$ go, since all young 
205:219,05[E  ]| people like$1$ to$9$ be together, I can see no$2$ reason$0$ why she 
205:219,06[E  ]| should be denied the indulgence." 
205:219,07[F  ]| "But can I do without her, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas?" 
205:219,08[E  ]| "Indeed I think you may$1$." 
205:219,09[F  ]| "She always makes tea, you know, when my sister is 
205:219,10[F  ]| not here." 
205:219,11[E  ]| "Your sister perhaps may$1$ be prevailed on$5$ to$9$ spend 
205:219,12[E  ]| the day with us, and I shall certainly be at home." 
205:219,13[F  ]| "Very well$5$, then, $MP#A$Fanny may$1$ go, $MP#B$Edmund." 
205:219,14['  ]| The good news soon followed her. $MP#B$Edmund knocked 
205:219,15['  ]| at her door in$4$ his way to$4$ his own$2$. 
205:219,16[B  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#A$Fanny, it is all happily settled, and without the 
205:219,17[B  ]| smallest hesitation on$4$ your uncle's side$0$. He had but one 
205:219,18[B  ]| opinion. You are to$9$ go." 
205:219,19[A  ]| "Thank you, I am \so$5#1$\ glad," 
205:219,19['  ]| was $MP#A$Fanny's instinctive 
205:219,20['  ]| reply$0$; though when she had turned from him and shut 
205:219,21['  ]| the door, she could not help$1$ feeling, 
205:219,21[A  ]| "And yet, why should 
205:219,22[A  ]| I be glad? for$3$ am I not certain of seeing or hearing something 
205:219,23[A  ]| there to$9$ pain$1$ me?" 
205:219,24['  ]| In$4$ spite$8$ of this conviction, however, she was glad. 
205:219,25['  ]| Simple$2$ as such an engagement might appear in$4$ other eyes, 
205:219,26['  ]| it had novelty and importance in$4$ her's, for$3$ excepting the 
205:219,27['  ]| day at Sotherton, she had scarcely ever dined out$5$ before$5$; 
205:219,28['  ]| and though now going only half a mile and only to$4$ three 
205:219,29['  ]| people, still$5$ it was dining out$5$, and all the little interests$0$ of 
205:219,30['  ]| preparation were enjoyments in$4$ themselves. She had 
205:219,31['  ]| neither sympathy nor assistance from those who$6#1$ ought to$9$ 
205:219,32['  ]| have entered into her feelings and directed her taste; for$3$ 
205:219,33['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram never thought$1$ of being$1$ useful to$4$ any*body, 
205:219,34['  ]| and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, when she came on$4$ the morrow, in$4$ consequence 
205:219,35['  ]| of an early call$0$ and invitation from $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
205:219,36['  ]| was in$4$ a very ill*humour, and seemed intent only on$4$ lessening 
205:219,37['  ]| her niece's pleasure, both present$2$ and future, as much 
205:219,38['  ]| as possible. 
205:220,01[J  ]| "Upon$4$ my word, $MP#A$Fanny, you are in$4$ high luck to$9$ meet$1$ 
205:220,02[J  ]| with such attention and indulgence! You ought to$9$ be 
205:220,03[J  ]| very much obliged to$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant for$4$ thinking of you, and 
205:220,04[J  ]| to$4$ your aunt for$4$ letting you go, and you ought to$9$ look$1$ 
205:220,05[J  ]| upon$4$ it as something extraordinary: for$3$ I hope$1$ you are 
205:220,06[J  ]| aware that$3$ there is no$2$ real occasion$0$ for$4$ your going into 
205:220,07[J  ]| company in$4$ this sort of way, or ever dining out$5$ at all; and 
205:220,08[J  ]| it is what you must not depend upon$4$ ever being$1$ repeated. 
205:220,09[J  ]| Nor must you be fancying, that$3$ the invitation is meant as 
205:220,10[J  ]| any particular compliment$0$ to$4$ \you\; the compliment$0$ is 
205:220,11[J  ]| intended to$4$ your uncle and aunt, and me. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
205:220,12[J  ]| thinks it a civility due$2$ to$4$ \us\ to$9$ take a little notice$0$ of you, 
205:220,12[J  ]| or 
205:220,13[J  ]| else it would never have come into her head$0$, and you 
205:220,14[J  ]| may$1$ be very certain, that$3$ if your cousin $MP#I$Julia had been at 
205:220,15[J  ]| home, you would not have been asked at all." 
205:220,16['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had now so$5#1$ ingeniously done away all 
205:220,17['  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's part$0$ of the favour$0$, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ found 
205:220,18['  ]| herself expected to$9$ speak, could only say that$3$ 
205:220,18@a   | she was very 
205:220,19@a   | much obliged to$4$ her aunt $MP#F$Bertram for$4$ sparing her, and 
205:220,20@a   | that$3$ she was endeavouring to$9$ put her aunt's evening work$0$ 
205:220,21@a   | in$4$ such a state$0$ as to$9$ prevent her being$1$ missed. 
205:220,22[J  ]| "Oh! depend upon$4$ it, your aunt can do very well$5$ without 
205:220,23[J  ]| you, or you would not be allowed to$9$ go. \I\ shall be 
205:220,24[J  ]| here, so$3$ you may$1$ be quite easy about$4$ your aunt. And 
205:220,25[J  ]| I hope$1$ you will$1$ have a very \agreeable\ day and find it all 
205:220,26[J  ]| mighty \delightful\. But I must observe, that$3$ five is the 
205:220,27[J  ]| very awkwardest of all possible numbers to$9$ sit down$5$ to$4$ 
205:220,28[J  ]| table; and I cannot but be surprized that$3$ such an \elegant\ 
205:220,29[J  ]| lady as $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant should not contrive better! And 
205:220,30[J  ]| round$4$ their enormous great wide table too$5#2$, which$6#1$ fills up$5$ 
205:220,31[J  ]| the room so$5#1$ dreadfully! Had the $MP#M$Doctor been contented 
205:220,32[J  ]| to$9$ take my dining*table when I came away, as any*body 
205:220,33[J  ]| in$4$ their senses would have done, instead of having that$6#2$ 
205:220,34[J  ]| absurd new one of his own$2$, which$6#1$ is wider, literally wider 
205:220,35[J  ]| than the dinner*table here ~~ how infinitely better it would 
205:220,36[J  ]| have been! and how much more he would have been 
205:220,37[J  ]| respected! for$3$ people are never respected when they step$1$ 
205:220,38[J  ]| out$5$ of their proper sphere. Remember \that$6#2$\, $MP#A$Fanny. 
205:221,01[J  ]| Five, only five to$9$ be sitting round$4$ that$6#2$ table! However, 
205:221,02[J  ]| you will$1$ have dinner enough on$4$ it for$4$ ten I dare$1#2$ say." 
205:221,03['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris fetched breath and went on$5$ again. 
205:221,04[J  ]| "The nonsense and folly of people's stepping out$5$ of 
205:221,05[J  ]| their rank$0$ and trying$1$ to$9$ appear above$4$ themselves, makes 
205:221,06[J  ]| me think it right$2#1$ to$9$ give \you\ a hint$0$, $MP#A$Fanny, now that$3$ you 
205:221,07[J  ]| are going into company without any of us; and I do 
205:221,08[J  ]| beseech and intreat you not to$9$ be putting yourself forward$5$, 
205:221,09[J  ]| and talking and giving your opinion as if you were one of 
205:221,10[J  ]| your cousins ~~ as if you were dear$2#1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth or 
205:221,11[J  ]| $MP#I$Julia. \That$6#2$\ will$1$ never do, believe me. Remember, wherever 
205:221,12[J  ]| you are, you must be the lowest and last$0$; and though 
205:221,13[J  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford is in$4$ a manner at home, at the Parsonage, 
205:221,14[J  ]| you are not to$9$ be taking place$0$ of her. And as to$4$ coming 
205:221,15[J  ]| away at night, you are to$9$ stay$1$ just$5$ as long as $MP#B$Edmund 
205:221,16[J  ]| chuses. Leave$1$ him to$9$ settle \that$6#2$\." 
205:221,17[A  ]| "Yes, ma'am, I should not think of any*thing else." 
205:221,18[J  ]| "And if it should rain$1$, which$6#1$ I think exceedingly likely, 
205:221,19[J  ]| for$3$ I never saw it more threatening for$4$ a wet$2$ evening in$4$ 
205:221,20[J  ]| my life ~~ you must manage as well$5$ as you can, and not be 
205:221,21[J  ]| expecting the carriage to$9$ be sent for$4$ you. I certainly do 
205:221,22[J  ]| not go home to*night, and, therefore, the carriage will$1$ not 
205:221,23[J  ]| be out$5$ on$4$ my account$0$; so$3$ you must make$1$ up$5$ your mind$0$ to$4$ 
205:221,24[J  ]| what may$1$ happen, and take your things accordingly." 
205:221,25['  ]| Her niece thought$1$ it perfectly reasonable. She rated 
205:221,26['  ]| her own$2$ claims to$4$ comfort$0$ as low even$5$ as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris could; 
205:221,27['  ]| and when $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, soon afterwards, just$5$ opening the 
205:221,28['  ]| door, said, 
205:221,28[E  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny, at what time would you have the 
205:221,29[E  ]| carriage come round$5$?" 
205:221,29['  ]| she felt a degree of astonishment 
205:221,30['  ]| which$6#1$ made it impossible for$4$ her to$9$ speak. 
205:221,31[J  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas!" 
205:221,31['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, red with 
205:221,32['  ]| anger$0$, 
205:221,32[J  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny can walk$1$." 
205:221,33[E  ]| "Walk$1$!" 
205:221,33['  ]| repeated $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, in$4$ a tone of most unanswerable 
205:221,34['  ]| dignity, and coming farther into the room. ~~ 
205:221,35[E  ]| "My niece walk$1$ to$4$ a dinner engagement at this time of the 
205:221,36[E  ]| year! Will$1$ twenty minutes after$4$ four suit$1$ you?" 
205:221,37[A  ]| "Yes, sir," 
205:221,37['  ]| was $MP#A$Fanny's humble$2$ answer$0$, given with the 
205:221,38['  ]| feelings almost of a criminal towards $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris; and not 
205:222,01['  ]| bearing to$9$ remain with her in$4$ what might seem a state$0$ of 
205:222,02['  ]| triumph$0$, she followed her uncle out$5$ of the room, having 
205:222,03['  ]| staid behind him only long enough to$9$ hear these words 
205:222,04['  ]| spoken in$4$ angry agitation: 
205:222,05[J  ]| "Quite unnecessary! ~~ a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ kind$2$! But 
205:222,06[J  ]| $MP#B$Edmund goes; ~~ true ~~ it is upon$4$ $MP#B$Edmund's account$0$. 
205:222,07[J  ]| I observed he was hoarse on$4$ Thursday night." 
205:222,08['  ]| But this could not impose on$4$ $MP#A$Fanny. 
205:222,08['  ]| She felt that$3$ 
205:222,09@a   | the carriage was for$4$ herself and herself alone; 
205:222,09['  ]| and her uncle's 
205:222,10['  ]| consideration of her, coming immediately after$4$ such representations 
205:222,11['  ]| from her aunt, cost$1$ her some tears of gratitude 
205:222,12['  ]| when she was alone. 
205:222,13['  ]| The coachman drove round$5$ to$4$ a minute$0$; another 
205:222,14['  ]| minute$0$ brought down$5$ the gentleman, and as the lady had, 
205:222,15['  ]| with a most scrupulous fear$0$ of being$1$ late, been many 
205:222,16['  ]| minutes seated in$4$ the drawing*room, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas saw them 
205:222,17['  ]| off in$4$ as good time as his own$2$ correctly punctual habits 
205:222,18['  ]| required. 
205:222,19[B  ]| "Now I must look$1$ at you, $MP#A$Fanny," 
205:222,19['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, with 
205:222,20['  ]| the kind$2$ smile$0$ of an affectionate brother, 
205:222,20[B  ]| "and tell you 
205:222,21[B  ]| how I like$1$ you; and as well$5$ as I can judge$1$ by$4$ this light$0$, 
205:222,22[B  ]| you look$1$ very nicely indeed. What have you got on$5$?" 
205:222,23[A  ]| "The new dress$0$ that$6#1$ my uncle was so$5#1$ good as to$9$ give me 
205:222,24[A  ]| on$4$ my cousin's marriage. I hope$1$ it is not too$5#1$ fine; but 
205:222,25[A  ]| I thought$1$ I ought to$9$ wear it as soon as I could, and that$3$ 
205:222,26[A  ]| I might not have such another opportunity all the winter. 
205:222,27[A  ]| I hope$1$ you do not think me too$5#1$ fine." 
205:222,28[B  ]| "A woman can never be too$5#1$ fine while$3$ she is all in$4$ white. 
205:222,29[B  ]| No$7$, I see no$2$ finery about$4$ you; nothing but what is perfectly 
205:222,30[B  ]| proper. Your gown seems very pretty$2$. I like$1$ these 
205:222,31[B  ]| glossy spots. Has not $MP#C$Miss*Crawford a gown something 
205:222,32[B  ]| the same?" 
205:222,33['  ]| In$4$ approaching the Parsonage they passed close$5$ by$4$ the 
205:222,34['  ]| stable-yard and coach-house. ~~ 
205:222,35[B  ]| "Hey*day!" 
205:222,35['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund 
205:222,35[B  ]| "here's company, here's 
205:222,36[B  ]| a carriage! who$6#2$ have they got to$9$ meet$1$ us?" 
205:222,36['  ]| And letting 
205:222,37['  ]| down$5$ the side-glass to$9$ distinguish, 
205:222,37[B  ]| "'Tis $MP#D$Crawford's, $MP#D$Crawford's 
205:222,38[B  ]| barouche, I protest! There are his own$2$ two men 
205:223,01[B  ]| pushing it back$5$ into its old quarters. He is here of course$8$. 
205:223,02[B  ]| This is quite a surprize$0$, $MP#A$Fanny. I shall be very glad to$9$ see 
205:223,03[B  ]| him." 
205:223,04['  ]| There was no$2$ occasion$0$, there was no$2$ time for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ 
205:223,05['  ]| say 
205:223,05@a   | how very differently she felt; but the idea of having 
205:223,06@a   | such another to$9$ observe her, was a great increase$0$ of the 
205:223,07@a   | trepidation with which$6#1$ she performed the very aweful 
205:223,08@a   | ceremony of walking into the drawing-room. 
205:223,09@a   | In$4$ the drawing-room $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford certainly was; 
205:223,10@a   | having been just$5$ long enough arrived to$9$ be ready for$4$ dinner; 
205:223,11@a   | and the smiles and pleased looks$0$ of the three others 
205:223,12@a   | standing round$4$ him, shewed how welcome$2$ was his sudden$2$ 
205:223,13@a   | resolution of coming to$4$ them for$4$ a few days on$4$ leaving 
205:223,14@a   | Bath$0#1$. 
205:223,14['  ]| A very cordial$2$ meeting passed between him and 
205:223,15['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund; and with the exception of $MP#A$Fanny, the pleasure 
205:223,16['  ]| was general$2$; and even$5$ to$4$ \her\, there might be some advantage 
205:223,17['  ]| in$4$ his presence, since every addition to$4$ the party must 
205:223,18['  ]| rather forward$1$ her favourite$2$ indulgence of being$1$ suffered 
205:223,19['  ]| to$9$ sit silent and unattended to$5$. She was soon aware of this 
205:223,20['  ]| herself; for$3$ though she must submit, as her own$2$ propriety 
205:223,21['  ]| of mind$0$ directed, in$4$ spite$8$ of her aunt $MP#J$Norris's opinion, to$4$ 
205:223,22['  ]| being$1$ the principal$2$ lady in$4$ company, and to$4$ all the little 
205:223,23['  ]| distinctions consequent thereon, 
205:223,23@a   | she found, while$3$ they 
205:223,24@a   | were at table, such a happy flow$0$ of conversation prevailing 
205:223,25@a   | in$4$ which$6#1$ she was not required to$9$ take any part$0$ ~~ there was 
205:223,26@a   | so$5#1$ much to$9$ be said between the brother and sister about$4$ 
205:223,27@a   | Bath$0#1$, so$5#1$ much between the two young men about$4$ hunting, 
205:223,28@a   | so$5#1$ much of politics between $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford and $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
205:223,29@a   | and of every*thing, and all together between $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
205:223,30@a   | and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, as to$9$ leave$1$ her the fairest prospect of 
205:223,31@a   | having only to$9$ listen in$4$ quiet$2$, and of passing a very agreeable 
205:223,32@a   | day. She could not compliment$1$ the newly-arrived 
205:223,33@a   | gentleman however with any appearance of interest$0$ in$4$ 
205:223,34@a   | a scheme$0$ for$4$ extending his stay$0$ at Mansfield, and sending 
205:223,35@a   | for$4$ his hunters from Norfolk, which$6#1$, suggested by$4$ $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
205:223,36@a   | advised by$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, and warmly urged by$4$ the two sisters, 
205:223,37@a   | was soon in$4$ possession of his mind$0$, and which$6#1$ he seemed to$9$ 
205:223,38@a   | want$1$ to$9$ be encouraged even$5$ by$4$ her to$9$ resolve$1$ on$4$. Her 
205:224,01@a   | opinion was sought as to$4$ the probable continuance of the 
205:224,02@a   | open$2$ weather, 
205:224,02['  ]| but her answers were as short and indifferent 
205:224,03['  ]| as civility allowed. 
205:224,03@a   | She could not wish$1$ him to$9$ stay$1$, and 
205:224,04@a   | would much rather not have him speak to$4$ her. 
205:224,05['  ]| Her two absent cousins, especially $MP#H$Maria, were much in$4$ 
205:224,06['  ]| her thoughts on$4$ seeing him; 
205:224,06@a   | but no$2$ embarrassing remembrance 
205:224,07@a   | affected \his\ spirits. Here he was again on$4$ the same 
205:224,08@a   | ground where all had passed before$5$, and apparently as 
205:224,09@a   | willing to$9$ stay$1$ and be happy without the $MP#H1$Miss*Bertrams, 
205:224,10@a   | as if he had never known Mansfield in$4$ any other state$0$. 
205:224,11@a   | She heard them spoken of by$4$ him only in$4$ a general$2$ way, till 
205:224,12@a   | they were all re-assembled in$4$ the drawing-room, when 
205:224,13@a   | $MP#B$Edmund, being$1$ engaged apart in$4$ some matter of business 
205:224,14@a   | with $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, which$6#1$ seemed entirely to$9$ engross them, 
205:224,15@a   | and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant occupied at the tea-table, he began talking 
205:224,16@a   | of them with more particularity to$4$ his other sister. 
205:224,16['  ]| With 
205:224,17['  ]| a significant smile$0$, which$6#1$ made $MP#A$Fanny quite hate him, he 
205:224,18['  ]| said, 
205:224,18[D  ]| "So$3$! $MP#K$Rushworth and his fair bride are at Brighton, 
205:224,19[D  ]| I understand ~~ Happy man!" 
205:224,20[C  ]| "Yes, they have been there ~~ about$4$ a fortnight, 
205:224,21[C  ]| $MP#A$Miss*Price, have they not? ~~ And $MP#I$Julia is with them." 
205:224,22[D  ]| "And $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, I presume, is not far off." 
205:224,23[C  ]| "$MP#R$Mr%*Yates! ~~ Oh! we hear nothing of $MP#R$Mr%*Yates. I do 
205:224,24[C  ]| not imagine he figures$1$ much in$4$ the letters to$4$ Mansfield*Park; 
205:224,25[C  ]| do you, $MP#A$Miss*Price? ~~ I think my friend $MP#I$Julia knows 
205:224,26[C  ]| better than to$9$ entertain her father with $MP#R$Mr%*Yates." 
205:224,27[D  ]| "Poor $MP#K$Rushworth and his two-and-forty speeches!" 
205:224,28['  ]| continued $MP#D$Crawford. 
205:224,28[D  ]| "Nobody can ever forget them. 
205:224,29[D  ]| Poor fellow! ~~ I see him now; ~~ his toil and his despair$0$. 
205:224,30[D  ]| Well$7$, I am much mistaken if his lovely $MP#H$Maria will$1$ ever want$1$ 
205:224,31[D  ]| him to$9$ make$1$ two-and-forty speeches to$4$ her" ~~ 
205:224,31['  ]| adding, with 
205:224,32['  ]| a momentary seriousness, 
205:224,32[D  ]| "She is too$5#1$ good for$4$ him ~~ 
205:224,33[D  ]| much too$5#1$ good." 
205:224,33['  ]| And then changing his tone again to$4$ one 
205:224,34['  ]| of gentle gallantry, and addressing $MP#A$Fanny, he said, 
205:224,34[D  ]| "You 
205:224,35[D  ]| were $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's best friend. Your kindness and 
205:224,36[D  ]| patience can never be forgotten, your indefatigable patience 
205:224,37[D  ]| in$4$ trying$1$ to$9$ make$1$ it possible for$4$ him to$9$ learn his part$0$ ~~ in$4$ 
205:224,38[D  ]| trying$1$ to$9$ give him a brain which$6#1$ nature had denied ~~ to$9$ 
205:225,01[D  ]| mix up$5$ an understanding for$4$ him out$5$ of the superfluity of 
205:225,02[D  ]| your own$2$! \He\ might not have sense enough himself to$9$ 
205:225,03[D  ]| estimate$1$ your kindness, but I may$1$ venture to$9$ say that$3$ it 
205:225,04[D  ]| had honour$0$ from all the rest$0#1$ of the party." 
205:225,05['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny coloured, and said nothing. 
205:225,06[D  ]| "It is as a dream$0$, a pleasant dream$0$!" 
205:225,06['  ]| he exclaimed, 
205:225,07['  ]| breaking forth again after$4$ few minutes musing. 
205:225,07[D  ]| "I shall 
205:225,08[D  ]| always look$1$ back$5$ on$4$ our theatricals with exquisite pleasure. 
205:225,09[D  ]| There was such an interest$0$, such an animation, such a spirit 
205:225,10[D  ]| diffused! Every*body felt it. We were all alive. There 
205:225,11[D  ]| was employment, hope$0$, solicitude, bustle$0$, for$4$ every hour of 
205:225,12[D  ]| the day. Always some little objection, some little doubt$0$, 
205:225,13[D  ]| some little anxiety to$9$ be got over. I never was happier." 
205:225,14['  ]| With silent indignation, $MP#A$Fanny repeated to$4$ herself, 
205:225,15[A  ]| "Never happier! ~~ never happier than when doing what 
205:225,16[A  ]| you must know was not justifiable! ~~ never happier than 
205:225,17[A  ]| when behaving so$5#1$ dishonourably and unfeelingly! ~~ Oh! 
205:225,18[A  ]| what a corrupted mind$0$!" 
205:225,19[D  ]| "We were unlucky, $MP#A$Miss*Price," 
205:225,19['  ]| he continued in$4$ a lower$2$ 
205:225,20['  ]| tone, to$9$ avoid the possibility of being$1$ heard by$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, 
205:225,21['  ]| and not at all aware of her feelings, 
205:225,21[D  ]| "we certainly were 
205:225,22[D  ]| very unlucky. Another week, only one other week, would 
205:225,23[D  ]| have been enough for$4$ us. I think if we had had the disposal 
205:225,24[D  ]| of events ~~ if Mansfield*Park had had the government of 
205:225,25[D  ]| the winds just$5$ for$4$ a week or two about$4$ the equinox, there 
205:225,26[D  ]| would have been a difference. Not that$3$ we would have 
205:225,27[D  ]| endangered his safety by$4$ any tremendous weather ~~ but only 
205:225,28[D  ]| by$4$ a steady contrary wind, or a calm$0$. I think, $MP#A$Miss*Price, 
205:225,29[D  ]| we would have indulged ourselves with a week's calm$0$ in$4$ 
205:225,30[D  ]| the Atlantic at that$6#2$ season." 
205:225,31['  ]| He seemed determined to$9$ be answered; and $MP#A$Fanny, 
205:225,32['  ]| averting her face$0$, said with a firmer tone than usual, 
205:225,33[A  ]| "As far as \I\ am concerned, sir, I would not have delayed 
205:225,34[A  ]| his return$0$ for$4$ a day. My uncle disapproved it all so$5#1$ 
205:225,35[A  ]| entirely when he did arrive, that$3$ in$4$ my opinion, every*thing 
205:225,36[A  ]| had gone quite far enough." 
205:225,37['  ]| She had never spoken so$5#1$ much at once to$4$ him in$4$ her life 
205:225,38['  ]| before$5$, and never so$5#1$ angrily to$4$ any*one; and when her 
205:226,01['  ]| speech was over, she trembled and blushed at her own$2$ 
205:226,02['  ]| daring. He was surprized; but after$4$ a few moments silent 
205:226,03['  ]| consideration of her, replied in$4$ a calmer, graver tone, and 
205:226,04['  ]| as if the candid result$0$ of conviction, 
205:226,04[D  ]| "I believe you are 
205:226,05[D  ]| right$2#1$. It was more pleasant than prudent. We were getting 
205:226,06[D  ]| too$5#1$ noisy." 
205:226,06['  ]| And then turning the conversation, he 
205:226,07['  ]| would have engaged her on$4$ some other subject$0$, but her 
205:226,08['  ]| answers were so$5#1$ shy and reluctant that$3$ he could not 
205:226,09['  ]| advance$1$ in$4$ any. 
205:226,10['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, who$6#1$ had been repeatedly eyeing 
205:226,11['  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant and $MP#B$Edmund, now observed, 
205:226,11[C  ]| "Those gentlemen 
205:226,12[C  ]| must have some very interesting point$0$ to$9$ discuss." 
205:226,13[D  ]| "The most interesting in$4$ the world," 
205:226,13['  ]| replied her brother 
205:226,14[D  ]| ~~ "how to$9$ make$1$ money ~~ how to$9$ turn$1$ a good income into 
205:226,15[D  ]| a better. $MP#M$Dr%*Grant is giving $MP#B$Bertram instructions about$4$ 
205:226,16[D  ]| the living he is to$9$ step$1$ into so$5#1$ soon. I find he takes orders$0#2$ 
205:226,17[D  ]| in$4$ a few weeks. They were at it in$4$ the dining-parlour. 
205:226,18[D  ]| I am glad to$9$ hear $MP#B$Bertram will$1$ be so$5#1$ well$5$ off. He will$1$ have 
205:226,19[D  ]| a very pretty$2$ income to$9$ make$1$ ducks and drakes with, and 
205:226,20[D  ]| earned without much trouble$0$. I apprehend he will$1$ not 
205:226,21[D  ]| have less than seven hundred a year. Seven hundred 
205:226,22[D  ]| a year is a fine thing for$4$ a younger brother; and as of 
205:226,23[D  ]| course$8$ he will$1$ still$5$ live at home, it will$1$ be all for$4$ his 
205:226,23[D  ]| \menus*plaisirs\; 
205:226,24[D  ]| and a sermon at Christmas and Easter, I suppose, 
205:226,25[D  ]| will$1$ be the sum total of sacrifice$0$." 
205:226,26['  ]| His sister tried to$9$ laugh$1$ off her feelings by$4$ saying, 
205:226,27[C  ]| "Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with 
205:226,28[C  ]| which$6#1$ every*body settles the abundance of those who$6#1$ have 
205:226,29[C  ]| a great deal$0$ less than themselves. You would look$1$ rather 
205:226,30[C  ]| blank$2$, $MP#D$Henry, if your menus*plaisirs were to$9$ be limited to$4$ 
205:226,31[C  ]| seven hundred a year." 
205:226,32[D  ]| "Perhaps I might; but all \that$6#1$\ you know is entirely 
205:226,33[D  ]| comparative. Birthright and habit must settle the business. 
205:226,34[D  ]| $MP#B$Bertram is certainly well$5$ off for$4$ a cadet of even$5$ 
205:226,35[D  ]| a Baronet's family. By$4$ the time he is four or five-and-twenty 
205:226,36[D  ]| he will$1$ have seven hundred a year, and nothing 
205:226,37[D  ]| to$9$ do for$4$ it." 
205:226,38['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford \could\ have said that$3$ there would be a 
205:227,01['  ]| something to$9$ do and to$9$ suffer for$4$ it, which$6#1$ she could not 
205:227,02['  ]| think lightly of; but she checked herself and let it pass$1$; 
205:227,03['  ]| and tried to$9$ look$1$ calm$2$ and unconcerned when the two 
205:227,04['  ]| gentlemen shortly afterwards joined them. 
205:227,05[D  ]| "$MP#B$Bertram," 
205:227,05['  ]| said $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, 
205:227,05[D  ]| "I shall make$1$ a point$0$ 
205:227,06[D  ]| of coming to$4$ Mansfield to$9$ hear you preach your first 
205:227,07[D  ]| sermon. I shall come on$4$ purpose to$9$ encourage a young 
205:227,08[D  ]| beginner. When is it to$9$ be? $MP#A$Miss*Price, will$1$ not you join 
205:227,09[D  ]| me in$4$ encouraging your cousin? Will$1$ not you engage to$9$ 
205:227,10[D  ]| attend with your eyes steadily fixed on$4$ him the whole$2$ 
205:227,11[D  ]| time ~~ as I shall do ~~ not to$9$ lose a word; or only looking off 
205:227,12[D  ]| just$5$ to$9$ note$1$ down$5$ any sentence pre-eminently beautiful? 
205:227,13[D  ]| We will$1$ provide ourselves with tablets and a pencil. 
205:227,14[D  ]| When will$1$ it be? You must preach at Mansfield, you 
205:227,15[D  ]| know, that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram may$1$ hear you." 
205:227,16[B  ]| "I shall keep clear$2$ of you, $MP#D$Crawford, as long as I can," 
205:227,17['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
205:227,17[B  ]| "for$3$ you would be more likely to$9$ disconcert 
205:227,18[B  ]| me, and I should be more sorry to$9$ see you trying$1$ at it, than 
205:227,19[B  ]| almost any other man." 
205:227,20@a   | "Will$1$ he not feel this?" 
205:227,20['  ]| thought$1$ $MP#A$Fanny. 
205:227,20@a   | "No$7$, he can 
205:227,21@a   | feel nothing as he ought." 
205:227,21['  ]| The party being$1$ now all united, and the chief talkers 
205:227,22['  ]| attracting each other, she remained in$4$ tranquillity; and 
205:227,23['  ]| as a whist*table was formed after$4$ tea ~~ formed really for$4$ 
205:227,24['  ]| the amusement of $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, by$4$ his attentive wife, though 
205:227,25['  ]| it was not to$9$ be supposed so$5#2$ ~~ and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford took her 
205:227,26['  ]| harp, she had nothing to$9$ do but to$9$ listen, and her tranquillity 
205:227,27['  ]| remained undisturbed the rest$0#1$ of the evening, 
205:227,28['  ]| except when $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford now and then addressed to$4$ her 
205:227,29['  ]| a question$0$ or observation, which$6#1$ she could not avoid 
205:227,30['  ]| answering. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was too$5#1$ much vexed by$4$ what 
205:227,31['  ]| had passed to$9$ be in$4$ a humour for$4$ any*thing but music. 
205:227,32['  ]| With that$6#2$, she soothed herself and amused her friend. 
205:227,33['  ]| The assurance of $MP#B$Edmund's being$1$ so$5#1$ soon to$9$ take orders$0#2$, 
205:227,34['  ]| coming upon$4$ her like$4$ a blow that$6#1$ had been suspended, and 
205:227,35['  ]| still$5$ hoped uncertain and at a distance$0$, was felt with 
205:227,36['  ]| resentment and mortification. 
205:227,37@c   | She was very angry with 
205:227,38@c   | him. She had thought$1$ her influence$0$ more. She \had\ begun 
205:228,01@c   | to$9$ think of him ~~ she felt that$3$ she had ~~ with great regard$0$, 
205:228,02@c   | with almost decided intentions; but she would now meet$1$ 
205:228,03@c   | him with his own$2$ cool$2$ feelings. It was plain that$3$ he could 
205:228,04@c   | have no$2$ serious$2$ views, no$2$ true attachment, by$4$ fixing himself 
205:228,05@c   | in$4$ a situation which$6#1$ he must know she would never 
205:228,06@c   | stoop to$4$. She would learn to$9$ match$1$ him in$4$ his indifference. 
205:228,07@c   | She would henceforth admit his attentions without any 
205:228,08@c   | idea beyond$4$ immediate amusement. If \he\ could so$5#1$ command$1$ 
205:228,09@c   | his affections, \her's\ should do her no$2$ harm$0$. 
206:229,01['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had quite made up$5$ his mind$0$ by$4$ the 
206:229,02['  ]| next morning to$9$ give another fortnight to$4$ Mansfield, and 
206:229,03['  ]| having sent for$4$ his hunters and written a few lines of 
206:229,04['  ]| explanation to$4$ the $MP#ZF$Admiral, he looked round$5$ at his sister 
206:229,05['  ]| as he sealed and threw the letter from him, and seeing the 
206:229,06['  ]| coast clear$2$ of the rest$0#1$ of the family, said, with a smile$0$, 
206:229,07[D  ]| "And how do you think I mean$1$ to$9$ amuse myself, $MP#C$Mary, on$4$ 
206:229,08[D  ]| the days that$6#1$ I do not hunt? I am grown too$5#1$ old to$9$ go out$5$ 
206:229,09[D  ]| more than three times a week; but I have a plan for$4$ the 
206:229,10[D  ]| intermediate days, and what do you think it is?" 
206:229,11[C  ]| "To$9$ walk$1$ and ride$1$ with me, to$9$ be sure." 
206:229,12[D  ]| "Not exactly, though I shall be happy to$9$ do both, but 
206:229,13[D  ]| \that$6#2$\ would be exercise$0$ only to$4$ my body, and I must take 
206:229,14[D  ]| care$0$ of my mind$0$. Besides \that$6#2$\ would be all recreation and 
206:229,15[D  ]| indulgence, without the wholesome alloy of labour, and 
206:229,16[D  ]| I do not like$1$ to$9$ eat the bread of idleness. No$7$, my plan is to$9$ 
206:229,17[D  ]| make$1$ $MP#A$Fanny*Price in$4$ love$0$ with me." 
206:229,18[C  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny*Price! Nonsense! No$7$, no$7$. You ought to$9$ be 
206:229,19[C  ]| satisfied with her two cousins." 
206:229,20[D  ]| "But I cannot be satisfied without $MP#A$Fanny*Price, without 
206:229,21[D  ]| making a small hole in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny*Price's heart. You do not 
206:229,22[D  ]| seem properly aware of her claims to$4$ notice$0$. When we 
206:229,23[D  ]| talked of her last$2$ night, you none of you seemed sensible$2#1$ 
206:229,24[D  ]| of the wonderful improvement that$6#1$ has taken place$0$ in$4$ her 
206:229,25[D  ]| looks$0$ within the last$2$ six weeks. You see her every day, 
206:229,26[D  ]| and therefore do not notice$1$ it, but I assure you, she is quite 
206:229,27[D  ]| a different creature from what she was in$4$ the autumn. 
206:229,28[D  ]| She was then merely a quiet$2$, modest, not plain looking girl, 
206:229,29[D  ]| but she is now absolutely pretty$2$. I used to$9$ think she had 
206:229,30[D  ]| neither complexion nor countenance; but in$4$ that$6#2$ soft skin 
206:229,31[D  ]| of her's, so$5#1$ frequently tinged with a blush$0$ as it was yesterday, 
206:229,32[D  ]| there is decided beauty; and from what I observed of 
206:230,01[D  ]| her eyes and mouth, I do not despair$1$ of their being$1$ capable 
206:230,02[D  ]| of expression enough when she has any*thing to$9$ express$1$. 
206:230,03[D  ]| And then ~~ her air, her manner, her tout*ensemble is so$5#1$ 
206:230,04[D  ]| indescribably improved! She must be grown two inches, 
206:230,05[D  ]| at least, since October." 
206:230,06[C  ]| "Phoo! phoo! This is only because there were no$2$ tall 
206:230,07[C  ]| women to$9$ compare her with, and because she has got a new 
206:230,08[C  ]| gown, and you never saw her so$5#1$ well$5$ dressed before$5$. She is 
206:230,09[C  ]| just$5$ what she was in$4$ October, believe me. The truth is, 
206:230,10[C  ]| that$3$ she was the only girl in$4$ company for$4$ you to$9$ notice$1$, and 
206:230,11[C  ]| you must have a somebody. I have always thought$1$ her 
206:230,12[C  ]| pretty$2$ ~~ not strikingly pretty$2$ ~~ but ""pretty$2$ enough"" as 
206:230,13[C  ]| people say; a sort of beauty that$6#1$ grows on$4$ one. Her eyes 
206:230,14[C  ]| should be darker, but she has a sweet smile$0$; but as for$4$ 
206:230,15[C  ]| this wonderful degree of improvement, I am sure it may$1$ 
206:230,16[C  ]| all be resolved into a better style of dress$0$ and your having 
206:230,17[C  ]| nobody else to$9$ look$1$ at; and therefore, if you do set$1$ about$5$ 
206:230,18[C  ]| a flirtation with her, you never will$1$ persuade me that$3$ it is 
206:230,19[C  ]| in$4$ compliment$0$ to$4$ her beauty, or that$3$ it proceeds from any*thing 
206:230,20[C  ]| but your own$2$ idleness and folly." 
206:230,21['  ]| Her brother gave only a smile$0$ to$4$ this accusation, and 
206:230,22['  ]| soon afterwards said, 
206:230,22[D  ]| "I do not quite know what to$9$ 
206:230,23[D  ]| make$1$ of $MP#A$Miss*Fanny. I do not understand her. I could 
206:230,24[D  ]| not tell what she would be at yesterday. What is her 
206:230,25[D  ]| character? ~~ Is she solemn? ~~ Is she queer? ~~ Is she 
206:230,26[D  ]| prudish? Why did she draw back$5$ and look$1$ so$5#1$ grave$2$ 
206:230,27[D  ]| at me? I could hardly get her to$9$ speak. I never was 
206:230,28[D  ]| so$5#1$ long in$4$ company with a girl in$4$ my life ~~ trying$1$ to$9$ 
206:230,29[D  ]| entertain her ~~ and succeed so$5#1$ ill! Never met with 
206:230,30[D  ]| a girl who$6#1$ looked so$5#1$ grave$2$ on$4$ me! I must try to$9$ get 
206:230,31[D  ]| the better of this. Her looks$0$ say, ""I will$1$ not like$1$ you, 
206:230,32[D  ]| I am determined not to$9$ like$1$ you,"" and I say, she shall." 
206:230,33[C  ]| "Foolish fellow! And so$3$ this is her attraction after$4$ 
206:230,34[C  ]| all! This it is ~~ her not caring about$4$ you ~~ which$6#1$ gives 
206:230,35[C  ]| her such a soft skin and makes her so$5#1$ much taller, and 
206:230,36[C  ]| produces all these charms and graces! I do desire$1$ that$3$ 
206:230,37[C  ]| you will$1$ not be making her really unhappy; a \little\ love$0$ 
206:230,38[C  ]| perhaps may$1$ animate$1$ and do her good, but I will$1$ not 
206:231,01[C  ]| have you plunge her deep, for$3$ she is as good a little 
206:231,02[C  ]| creature as ever lived, and has a great deal$0$ of feeling." 
206:231,03[D  ]| "It can be but for$4$ a fortnight," 
206:231,03['  ]| said $MP#D$Henry, 
206:231,03[D  ]| "and if 
206:231,04[D  ]| a fortnight can kill her, she must have a constitution 
206:231,05[D  ]| which$6#1$ nothing could save$1$. No$7$, I will$1$ not do her any 
206:231,06[D  ]| harm$0$, dear$2#1$ little soul! I only want$1$ her to$9$ look$1$ kindly 
206:231,07[D  ]| on$4$ me, to$9$ give me smiles as well$5$ as blushes, to$9$ keep 
206:231,08[D  ]| a chair for$4$ me by$4$ herself wherever we are, and be all 
206:231,09[D  ]| animation when I take it and talk$1$ to$4$ her; to$9$ think as 
206:231,10[D  ]| I think, be interested in$4$ all my possessions and pleasures, 
206:231,11[D  ]| try to$9$ keep me longer at Mansfield, and feel when I go 
206:231,12[D  ]| away that$3$ she shall be never happy again. I want$1$ 
206:231,13[D  ]| nothing more." 
206:231,14[C  ]| "Moderation itself!" 
206:231,14['  ]| said $MP#C$Mary. 
206:231,14[C  ]| "I can have no$2$ 
206:231,15[C  ]| scruples now. Well$7$, you will$1$ have opportunities enough 
206:231,16[C  ]| of endeavouring to$9$ recommend yourself, for$3$ we are 
206:231,17[C  ]| a great deal$0$ together." 
206:231,18['  ]| And without attempting any further remonstrance, 
206:231,19['  ]| she left $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ her fate ~~ a fate which$6#1$, had not $MP#A$Fanny's 
206:231,20['  ]| heart been guarded in$4$ a way unsuspected by$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
206:231,21['  ]| might have been a little harder than she deserved; 
206:231,22['  ]| for$3$ although there doubtless are such unconquerable 
206:231,23['  ]| young ladies of eighteen (or one should not read about$4$ 
206:231,24['  ]| them) as are never to$9$ be persuaded into love$0$ against 
206:231,25['  ]| their judgment by$4$ all that$6#1$ talent, manner, attention, 
206:231,26['  ]| and flattery can do, I have no$2$ inclination to$9$ believe 
206:231,27['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny one of them, or to$9$ think that$3$ with so$5#1$ much tenderness 
206:231,28['  ]| of disposition, and so$5#1$ much taste as belonged to$4$ her, 
206:231,29['  ]| she could have escaped heart-whole from the courtship 
206:231,30['  ]| (though the courtship only of a fortnight) of such a man 
206:231,31['  ]| as $MP#D$Crawford, in$4$ spite$8$ of there being$1$ some previous ill-opinion 
206:231,32['  ]| of him to$9$ be overcome, had not her affection been 
206:231,33['  ]| engaged elsewhere. With all the security which$6#1$ love$0$ of 
206:231,34['  ]| another and disesteem of him could give to$4$ the peace 
206:231,35['  ]| of mind$0$ he was attacking, his continued attentions ~~ 
206:231,36['  ]| continued, but not obtrusive, and adapting themselves 
206:231,37['  ]| more and more to$4$ the gentleness and delicacy of her 
206:231,38['  ]| character, ~~ obliged her very soon to$9$ dislike$1$ him less than 
206:232,01['  ]| formerly. She had by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ forgotten the past$0$, and 
206:232,02['  ]| she thought$1$ as ill of him as ever; but she felt his powers; 
206:232,03@a   | he was entertaining, and his manners were so$5#1$ improved, 
206:232,04@a   | so$5#1$ polite, so$5#1$ seriously and blamelessly polite, that$3$ it was 
206:232,05@a   | impossible not to$9$ be civil to$4$ him in$4$ return$0$. 
206:232,06['  ]| A very few days were enough to$9$ effect$1$ this; and at 
206:232,07['  ]| the end$0$ of those few days, circumstances arose which$6#1$ had 
206:232,08['  ]| a tendency rather to$9$ forward$1$ his views of pleasing her, 
206:232,09['  ]| inasmuch as they gave her a degree of happiness which$6#1$ 
206:232,10['  ]| must dispose her to$9$ be pleased with every*body. $MP#Q$William, 
206:232,11['  ]| her brother, the so$5#1$ long absent and dearly$5#1$ loved brother, 
206:232,12['  ]| was in$4$ England again. She had a letter from him herself, 
206:232,13['  ]| a few hurried happy lines, written as the ship came up$4$ 
206:232,14['  ]| Channel, and sent into Portsmouth, with the first boat 
206:232,15['  ]| that$6#1$ left the Antwerp, at anchor, in$4$ Spithead; and when 
206:232,16['  ]| $MP#D$Crawford walked up$5$ with the newspaper in$4$ his hand$0$, 
206:232,17['  ]| which$6#1$ he had hoped would bring the first tidings, he 
206:232,18['  ]| found her trembling with joy over this letter, and listening 
206:232,19['  ]| with a glowing, grateful countenance to$4$ the kind$2$ invitation 
206:232,20['  ]| which$6#1$ her uncle was most collectedly dictating in$4$ 
206:232,21['  ]| reply$0$. 
206:232,22['  ]| It was but the day before$5$, that$3$ $MP#D$Crawford had made 
206:232,23['  ]| himself thoroughly master of the subject$0$, or had in$4$ fact 
206:232,24['  ]| become at all aware of her having such a brother, or his 
206:232,25['  ]| being$1$ in$4$ such a ship, but the interest$0$ then excited had 
206:232,26['  ]| been very properly lively, determining him on$4$ his return$0$ 
206:232,27['  ]| to$4$ town to$9$ apply for$4$ information as to$4$ the probable 
206:232,28['  ]| period of the Antwerp's return$0$ from the Mediterranean, 
206:232,29['  ]| &c%; 
206:232,29@d   | and the good luck which$6#1$ attended his early examination 
206:232,30@d   | of ship news, the next morning, seemed the reward$0$ 
206:232,31@d   | of his ingenuity in$4$ finding out$5$ such a method of pleasing 
206:232,32@d   | her, as well$5$ as of his dutiful attention to$4$ the $MP#ZF$Admiral, 
206:232,33@d   | in$4$ having for$4$ many years taken in$5$ the paper esteemed 
206:232,34@d   | to$9$ have the earliest naval intelligence. 
206:232,34['  ]| He proved, however, 
206:232,35['  ]| to$9$ be too$5#1$ late. All those fine first feelings, of which$6#1$ 
206:232,36['  ]| he had hoped to$9$ be the excitor, were already given. But 
206:232,37['  ]| his intention, the kindness of his intention, was thankfully 
206:232,38['  ]| acknowledged ~~ quite thankfully and warmly, for$3$ she was 
206:233,01['  ]| elevated beyond$4$ the common$2$ timidity of her mind$0$ by$4$ 
206:233,02['  ]| the flow$0$ of her love$0$ for$4$ $MP#Q$William. 
206:233,03['  ]| This dear$2#1$ $MP#Q$William would soon be amongst them. 
206:233,04['  ]| There could be no$2$ doubt$0$ of his obtaining leave$0$ of absence 
206:233,05['  ]| immediately, for$3$ he was still$5$ only a midshipman; and as 
206:233,06['  ]| his parents, from living on$4$ the spot, must already have 
206:233,07['  ]| seen him and be seeing him perhaps daily, his direct$2$ 
206:233,08['  ]| holidays might with justice be instantly given to$4$ the 
206:233,09['  ]| sister, who$6#1$ had been his best correspondent through$4$ 
206:233,10['  ]| a period of seven years, and the uncle who$6#1$ had done 
206:233,11['  ]| most for$4$ his support$0$ and advancement; and accordingly 
206:233,12['  ]| the reply$0$ to$4$ her reply$0$, fixing a very early day for$4$ his 
206:233,13['  ]| arrival, came as soon as possible; and scarcely ten days 
206:233,14['  ]| had passed since $MP#A$Fanny had been in$4$ the agitation of her 
206:233,15['  ]| first dinner visit$0$, when she found herself in$4$ an agitation 
206:233,16['  ]| of a higher nature ~~ watching in$4$ the hall, in$4$ the lobby, 
206:233,17['  ]| on$4$ the stairs, for$4$ the first sound$0$ of the carriage which$6#1$ was 
206:233,18['  ]| to$9$ bring her a brother. 
206:233,19['  ]| It came happily while$3$ she was thus waiting; and there 
206:233,20['  ]| being$1$ neither ceremony nor fearfulness to$9$ delay$1$ the 
206:233,21['  ]| moment of meeting, she was with him as he entered the 
206:233,22['  ]| house, and the first minutes of exquisite feeling had no$2$ 
206:233,23['  ]| interruption and no$2$ witnesses, unless the servants chiefly 
206:233,24['  ]| intent upon$4$ opening the proper doors could be called such. 
206:233,25['  ]| This was exactly what $MP#E$Sir*Thomas and $MP#B$Edmund had been 
206:233,26['  ]| separately conniving at, as each proved to$4$ the other by$4$ 
206:233,27['  ]| the sympathetic alacrity with which$6#1$ they both advised 
206:233,28['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's continuing where she was, instead of rushing 
206:233,29['  ]| out$5$ into the hall as soon as the noises of the arrival 
206:233,30['  ]| reached them. 
206:233,31['  ]| $MP#Q$William and $MP#A$Fanny soon shewed themselves; and 
206:233,32['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had the pleasure of receiving in$4$ his prote=ge=, 
206:233,33@e   | certainly a very different person from the one he had 
206:233,34@e   | equipped seven years ago, but a young man of an open$2$, 
206:233,35@e   | pleasant countenance, and frank$2$, unstudied, but feeling 
206:233,36@e   | and respectful manners, and such as confirmed him his 
206:233,37@e   | friend. 
206:233,38['  ]| It was long before$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could recover from the 
206:234,01['  ]| agitating happiness of such an hour as was formed by$4$ 
206:234,02['  ]| the last$2$ thirty minutes of expectation and the first of 
206:234,03['  ]| fruition; it was some time even$5$ before$3$ her happiness 
206:234,04['  ]| could be said to$9$ make$1$ her happy, before$3$ the disappointment 
206:234,05['  ]| inseparable from the alteration of person had 
206:234,06['  ]| vanished, and she could see in$4$ him the same $MP#Q$William as 
206:234,07['  ]| before$5$, and talk$1$ to$4$ him, as her heart had been yearning 
206:234,08['  ]| to$9$ do, through$4$ many a past$2$ year. That$6#2$ time, however, 
206:234,09['  ]| did gradually come, forwarded by$4$ an affection on$4$ his side$0$ 
206:234,10['  ]| as warm$2$ as her own$2$, and much less incumbered by$4$ 
206:234,11['  ]| refinement or self-distrust. She was the first object$0$ of 
206:234,12['  ]| his love$0$, but it was a love$0$ which$6#1$ his stronger spirits, and 
206:234,13['  ]| bolder temper, made it as natural$2$ for$4$ him to$9$ express$1$ as 
206:234,14['  ]| to$9$ feel. On$4$ the morrow they were walking about$5$ together 
206:234,15['  ]| with true enjoyment, and every succeeding morrow 
206:234,16['  ]| renewed a te^te-a`-te^te, which$6#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could not but 
206:234,17['  ]| observe with complacency, even$5$ before$3$ $MP#B$Edmund had 
206:234,18['  ]| pointed it out$5$ to$4$ him. 
206:234,19['  ]| Excepting the moments of peculiar delight$0$, which$6#1$ any 
206:234,20['  ]| marked or unlooked-for instance$0$ of $MP#B$Edmund's consideration 
206:234,21['  ]| of her in$4$ the last$2$ few months had excited, $MP#A$Fanny 
206:234,22['  ]| had never known so$5#1$ much felicity in$4$ her life, as in$4$ 
206:234,22@a   | this 
206:234,23@a   | unchecked, equal$2$, fearless intercourse with the brother 
206:234,24@a   | and friend, who$6#1$ was opening all his heart to$4$ her, telling 
206:234,25@a   | her all his hopes$0$ and fears, plans, and solicitudes respecting 
206:234,26@a   | that$6#2$ long thought$1$ of, dearly$5#2$ earned, and justly valued 
206:234,27@a   | blessing of promotion ~~ who$6#1$ could give her direct$2$ and 
206:234,28@a   | minute$2$ information of the father and mother, brothers 
206:234,29@a   | and sisters, of whom$6#1$ she very seldom heard ~~ who$6#1$ was 
206:234,30@a   | interested in$4$ all the comforts and all the little hardships 
206:234,31@a   | of her home, at Mansfield ~~ ready to$9$ think of every 
206:234,32@a   | member of that$6#2$ home as she directed, or differing only 
206:234,33@a   | by$4$ a less scrupulous opinion, and more noisy abuse of 
206:234,34@a   | their aunt $MP#J$Norris ~~ and with whom$6#1$ (perhaps the dearest 
206:234,35@a   | indulgence of the whole$0$) all the evil and good of their 
206:234,36@a   | earliest years could be gone over again, and every former 
206:234,37@a   | united pain$0$ and pleasure retraced with the fondest 
206:234,38@a   | recollection. 
206:234,38['  ]| An advantage this, a strengthener of love$0$, 
206:235,01['  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ even$5$ the conjugal tie is beneath the fraternal. 
206:235,02['  ]| Children of the same family, the same blood, with the 
206:235,03['  ]| same first associations and habits, have some means$0$ of 
206:235,04['  ]| enjoyment in$4$ their power, which$6#1$ no$2$ subsequent connections 
206:235,05['  ]| can supply$1$; and it must be by$4$ a long and 
206:235,06['  ]| unnatural estrangement, by$4$ a divorce which$6#1$ no$2$ subsequent 
206:235,07['  ]| connection can justify, if such precious remains$0$ 
206:235,08['  ]| of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived. 
206:235,09['  ]| Too$5#1$ often, alas! it is so$5#2$. ~~ Fraternal love$0$, sometimes 
206:235,10['  ]| almost every*thing, is at others worse than nothing. 
206:235,11['  ]| But with $MP#Q$William and $MP#A$Fanny*Price, it was still$5$ a sentiment 
206:235,12['  ]| in$4$ all its prime and freshness, wounded by$4$ no$2$ opposition 
206:235,13['  ]| of interest$0$, cooled by$4$ no$2$ separate$2$ attachment, and feeling 
206:235,14['  ]| the influence$0$ of time and absence only in$4$ its increase$0$. 
206:235,15['  ]| An affection so$5#1$ amiable was advancing each in$4$ the 
206:235,16['  ]| opinion of all who$6#1$ had hearts to$9$ value$1$ any*thing good. 
206:235,17['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was as much struck with it as any. 
206:235,18@d   | He honoured the warm*hearted, blunt fondness of the 
206:235,19@d   | young sailor, 
206:235,19['  ]| which$6#1$ led him to$9$ say, with his hand$0$ stretched 
206:235,20['  ]| towards $MP#A$Fanny's head$0$, 
206:235,20[Q  ]| "Do you know, I begin to$9$ like$1$ 
206:235,21[Q  ]| that$6#2$ queer fashion$0$ already, though when I first heard 
206:235,22[Q  ]| of such things being$1$ done in$4$ England I could not believe 
206:235,23[Q  ]| it, and when $MP#ZC$Mrs%*Brown, and the other women, at the 
206:235,24[Q  ]| Commissioner's, at Gibraltar, appeared in$4$ the same trim, 
206:235,25[Q  ]| I thought$1$ they were mad; but $MP#A$Fanny can reconcile me 
206:235,26[Q  ]| to$4$ any*thing" ~~ 
206:235,26['  ]| and saw, with lively admiration, 
206:235,26@d   | the glow 
206:235,27@d   | of $MP#A$Fanny's cheek, the brightness of her eye, the deep 
206:235,28@d   | interest$0$, the absorbed attention, 
206:235,28['  ]| while$3$ her brother was 
206:235,29['  ]| describing any of the imminent hazards, or terrific 
206:235,30['  ]| scenes, which$6#1$ such a period, at sea, must supply$1$. 
206:235,31['  ]| It was a picture$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had moral 
206:235,32['  ]| taste enough to$9$ value$1$. 
206:235,32@d   | $MP#A$Fanny's attractions increased ~~ 
206:235,33@d   | increased two-fold ~~ for$3$ the sensibility which$6#1$ beautified 
206:235,34@d   | her complexion and illumined her countenance, was an 
206:235,35@d   | attraction in$4$ itself. He was no$2$ longer in$4$ doubt$0$ of the 
206:235,36@d   | capabilities of her heart. She had feeling, genuine feeling. 
206:235,37@d   | It would be something to$9$ be loved by$4$ such a girl, 
206:235,38@d   | to$9$ excite the first ardours of her young, unsophisticated 
206:236,01@d   | mind$0$! She interested him more than he had foreseen. 
206:236,02@d   | A fortnight was not enough. 
206:236,02['  ]| His stay$0$ became indefinite. 
206:236,03['  ]| $MP#Q$William was often called on$5$ by$4$ his uncle to$9$ be the 
206:236,04['  ]| talker. His recitals were amusing in$4$ themselves to$4$ 
206:236,05['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, but the chief object$0$ in$4$ seeking them, was 
206:236,06['  ]| to$9$ understand the recitor, to$9$ know the young man by$4$ his 
206:236,07['  ]| histories; and he listened to$4$ his clear$2$, simple$2$, spirited 
206:236,08['  ]| details with full satisfaction ~~ 
206:236,08@e   | seeing in$4$ them, the proof 
206:236,09@e   | of good principles, professional knowledge, energy, 
206:236,10@e   | courage, and cheerfulness ~~ every*thing that$6#1$ could deserve 
206:236,11@e   | or promise$1$ well$5$. 
206:236,11['  ]| Young as he was, $MP#Q$William had already 
206:236,12['  ]| seen a great deal$0$. He had been in$4$ the Mediterranean ~~ 
206:236,13['  ]| in$4$ the West*Indies ~~ in$4$ the Mediterranean again ~~ had 
206:236,14['  ]| been often taken on$4$ shore by$4$ the favour$0$ of his Captain, 
206:236,15['  ]| and in$4$ the course$0$ of seven years had known every variety 
206:236,16['  ]| of danger, which$6#1$ sea and war together could offer$1$. With 
206:236,17['  ]| such means$0$ in$4$ his power he had a right$0$ to$9$ be listened to$5$; 
206:236,18['  ]| and though $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris could fidget about$4$ the room, and 
206:236,19['  ]| disturb every*body in$4$ quest of two needlefulls of thread 
206:236,20['  ]| or a second$2$ hand$0$ shirt button in$4$ the midst of her nephew's 
206:236,21['  ]| account$0$ of a shipwreck or an engagement, every*body 
206:236,22['  ]| else was attentive; and even$5$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram could not 
206:236,23['  ]| hear of such horrors unmoved, or without sometimes 
206:236,24['  ]| lifting her eyes from her work$0$ to$9$ say, 
206:236,24[F  ]| "Dear$7$ me! how 
206:236,25[F  ]| disagreeable. ~~ I wonder$1$ any*body can ever go to$4$ sea." 
206:236,26['  ]| To$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford they gave a different feeling. 
206:236,26@d   | He 
206:236,27@d   | longed to$9$ have been at sea, and seen and done and 
206:236,28@d   | suffered as much. His heart was warmed, his fancy$0$ 
206:236,29@d   | fired, and he felt the highest respect$0$ for$4$ a lad who$6#1$, before$3$ 
206:236,30@d   | he was twenty, had gone through$4$ such bodily hardships, 
206:236,31@d   | and given such proofs of mind$0$. The glory$0$ of heroism, 
206:236,32@d   | of usefulness, of exertion, of endurance, made his own$2$ 
206:236,33@d   | habits of selfish indulgence appear in$4$ shameful contrast; 
206:236,34@d   | and he wished he had been a $MP#Q$William*Price, distinguishing 
206:236,35@d   | himself and working his way to$4$ fortune and consequence 
206:236,36@d   | with so$5#1$ much self-respect and happy ardour, instead of 
206:236,37@d   | what he was! 
206:236,38['  ]| The wish$0$ was rather eager than lasting. He was 
206:237,01['  ]| roused from the reverie of retrospection and regret$0$ produced 
206:237,02['  ]| by$4$ it, by$4$ some inquiry from $MP#B$Edmund as to$4$ his 
206:237,03['  ]| plans for$4$ the next day's hunting; 
206:237,03@d   | and he found it was 
206:237,04@d   | as well$5$ to$9$ be a man of fortune at once with horses and 
206:237,05@d   | grooms at his command$0$. In$4$ one respect$0$ it was better, 
206:237,06@d   | as it gave him the means$0$ of conferring a kindness where 
206:237,07@d   | he wished to$9$ oblige. 
206:237,07['  ]| With spirits, courage, and curiosity 
206:237,08['  ]| up$5$ to$4$ any*thing, $MP#Q$William expressed an inclination to$9$ hunt; 
206:237,09['  ]| and $MP#D$Crawford could mount him without the slightest 
206:237,10['  ]| inconvenience to$4$ himself, and with only some scruples to$9$ 
206:237,11['  ]| obviate in$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, who$6#1$ knew better than his nephew 
206:237,12['  ]| the value$0$ of such a loan, and some alarms to$9$ reason$1$ away 
206:237,13['  ]| in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny. She feared for$4$ $MP#Q$William; by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ convinced 
206:237,14['  ]| by$4$ all that$6#1$ he could relate of his own$2$ horsemanship 
206:237,15['  ]| in$4$ various countries, of the scrambling parties in$4$ 
206:237,16['  ]| which$6#1$ he had been engaged, the rough horses and mules 
206:237,17['  ]| he had ridden, or his many narrow escapes from dreadful 
206:237,18['  ]| falls, that$3$ he was at all equal$2$ to$4$ the management of 
206:237,19['  ]| a high-fed hunter in$4$ an English fox-chase; nor till he 
206:237,20['  ]| returned safe and well$5$, without accident or discredit, 
206:237,21['  ]| could she be reconciled to$4$ the risk$0$, or feel any of that$6#2$ 
206:237,22['  ]| obligation to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford for$4$ lending the horse which$6#1$ 
206:237,23['  ]| he had fully intended it should produce. When it was 
206:237,24['  ]| proved however to$9$ have done $MP#Q$William no$2$ harm$0$, she could 
206:237,25['  ]| allow it to$9$ be a kindness, and even$5$ reward$1$ the owner 
206:237,26['  ]| with a smile$0$ when the animal was one minute$0$ tendered 
206:237,27['  ]| to$4$ his use$0$ again; and the next, with the greatest cordiality, 
206:237,28['  ]| and in$4$ a manner not to$9$ be resisted, made over 
206:237,29['  ]| to$4$ his use$0$ entirely so$5#1$ long as he remained in$4$ Northamptonshire. 
207:238,01['  ]| The intercourse of the two families was at this period 
207:238,02['  ]| more nearly restored to$4$ what it had been in$4$ the autumn, 
207:238,03['  ]| than any member of the old intimacy had thought$1$ ever 
207:238,04['  ]| likely to$9$ be again. The return$0$ of $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, and 
207:238,05['  ]| the arrival of $MP#Q$William*Price, had much to$9$ do with it, 
207:238,06['  ]| but much was still$5$ owing to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's more than 
207:238,07['  ]| toleration of the neighbourly attempts at the Parsonage. 
207:238,08['  ]| His mind$0$, now disengaged from the cares$0$ which$6#1$ had 
207:238,09['  ]| pressed on$4$ him at first, was at leisure to$9$ find the $MP#M1$Grants 
207:238,10['  ]| and their young inmates really worth visiting; and 
207:238,11['  ]| though infinitely above$4$ scheming or contriving for$4$ any 
207:238,12['  ]| the most advantageous matrimonial establishment that$6#1$ 
207:238,13['  ]| could be among the apparent possibilities of any*one 
207:238,14['  ]| most dear$2#1$ to$4$ him, and disdaining even$5$ as a littleness the 
207:238,15['  ]| being$1$ quick-sighted on$4$ such points, he could not avoid 
207:238,16['  ]| perceiving in$4$ a grand and careless way that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
207:238,17['  ]| was somewhat distinguishing his niece ~~ nor perhaps 
207:238,18['  ]| refrain (though unconsciously) from giving a more willing 
207:238,19['  ]| assent to$4$ invitations on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$. 
207:238,20['  ]| His readiness, however, in$4$ agreeing to$9$ dine at the 
207:238,21['  ]| Parsonage, when the general$2$ invitation was at last$0$ 
207:238,22['  ]| hazarded, after$4$ many debates and many doubts$0$ as to$4$ 
207:238,23['  ]| whether it were worth*while, 
207:238,23[X  ]| "because $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
207:238,24[X  ]| seemed so$5#1$ ill inclined! and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was so$5#1$ indolent!" ~~ 
207:238,25['  ]| proceeded from good*breeding and good-will 
207:238,26['  ]| alone, and had nothing to$9$ do with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, but as 
207:238,27['  ]| being$1$ one in$4$ an agreeable group; for$3$ it was in$4$ the course$0$ 
207:238,28['  ]| of that$6#2$ very visit$0$, that$3$ he first began to$9$ think, that$3$ 
207:238,28@e   | any*one 
207:238,29@e   | in$4$ the habit of such idle observations \would\ \have\ 
207:238,30@e   | \thought$1$\ that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was the admirer of $MP#A$Fanny*Price. 
207:238,31@e   | 
207:238,32['  ]| The meeting was generally felt to$9$ be a pleasant one, 
207:238,33['  ]| being$1$ composed in$4$ a good proportion of those who$6#1$ would 
207:239,01['  ]| talk$1$ and those who$6#1$ would listen; and the dinner itself 
207:239,02['  ]| was elegant and plentiful, according to$4$ the usual style 
207:239,03['  ]| of the $MP#M1$Grants, and too$5#1$ much according to$4$ the usual habits 
207:239,04['  ]| of all to$9$ raise any emotion except in$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ 
207:239,05['  ]| could never behold either the wide table or the number 
207:239,06['  ]| of dishes on$4$ it with patience, and who$6#1$ did always contrive 
207:239,07['  ]| to$9$ experience$1$ some evil from the passing of the servants 
207:239,08['  ]| behind her chair, and to$9$ bring away some fresh conviction 
207:239,09['  ]| of its being$1$ impossible among so$5#1$ many dishes but 
207:239,10['  ]| that$3$ some must be cold$2$. 
207:239,11['  ]| In$4$ the evening it was found, according to$4$ the predetermination 
207:239,12['  ]| of $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and her sister, that$3$ after$4$ 
207:239,13['  ]| making up$5$ the Whist*table there would remain sufficient 
207:239,14['  ]| for$4$ a round$2$ game, and every*body being$1$ as perfectly 
207:239,15['  ]| complying, and without a choice$0$ as on$4$ such occasions 
207:239,16['  ]| they always are, Speculation was decided on$5$ almost as 
207:239,17['  ]| soon as Whist; and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram soon found herself 
207:239,18['  ]| in$4$ the critical situation of being$1$ applied to$5$ for$4$ her own$2$ 
207:239,19['  ]| choice$0$ between the games, and being$1$ required either 
207:239,20['  ]| to$9$ draw a card for$4$ Whist or not. She hesitated. Luckily 
207:239,21['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was at hand$0$. 
207:239,22[F  ]| "What shall I do, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas? ~~ Whist and Speculation; 
207:239,23[F  ]| which$6#2$ will$1$ amuse me most?" 
207:239,24['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, after$4$ a moment's thought$0$, recommended 
207:239,25['  ]| Speculation. He was a Whist player himself, and perhaps 
207:239,26['  ]| might feel that$3$ it would not much amuse him to$9$ have her 
207:239,27['  ]| for$4$ a partner. 
207:239,28[F  ]| "Very well$5$," 
207:239,28['  ]| was her ladyship's contented answer$0$ ~~ 
207:239,29[F  ]| "then Speculation if you please, $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant. I know 
207:239,30[F  ]| nothing about$4$ it, but $MP#A$Fanny must teach me." 
207:239,31['  ]| Here $MP#A$Fanny interposed however with anxious protestations 
207:239,32['  ]| of her own$2$ equal$2$ ignorance; 
207:239,32@a   | she had never 
207:239,33@a   | played the game nor seen it played in$4$ her life; 
207:239,33['  ]| and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
207:239,34['  ]| felt a moment's indecision again ~~ but upon$4$ 
207:239,35['  ]| every*body's assuring her that$3$ nothing could be so$5#1$ easy, 
207:239,36['  ]| that$3$ it was the easiest game on$4$ the cards, and $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's 
207:239,37['  ]| stepping forward$5$ with a most earnest request$0$ 
207:239,38@d   | to$9$ be allowed to$9$ sit between her ladyship and $MP#A$Miss*Price, 
207:240,01@d   | and teach them both, 
207:240,01['  ]| it was so$5#2$ settled; and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
207:240,02['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, and $MP#M$Dr% and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, being$1$ seated 
207:240,02['  ]| at the 
207:240,03['  ]| table of prime intellectual state$0$ and dignity, the remaining 
207:240,04['  ]| six, under $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's direction, were arranged 
207:240,05['  ]| round$4$ the other. It was a fine arrangement for$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, 
207:240,06['  ]| who$6#1$ was close$5$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and with his hands 
207:240,07['  ]| full of business, having two persons' cards to$9$ manage as 
207:240,08['  ]| well$5$ as his own$2$ ~~ for$3$ though it was impossible for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny 
207:240,09['  ]| not to$9$ feel herself mistress of the rules$0$ of the game in$4$ 
207:240,10['  ]| three minutes, he had yet to$9$ inspirit her play$0$, sharpen 
207:240,11['  ]| her avarice, and harden her heart, which$6#1$, especially in$4$ 
207:240,12['  ]| any competition with $MP#Q$William, was a work$0$ of some 
207:240,13['  ]| difficulty; and as for$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, he must continue in$4$ 
207:240,14['  ]| charge$0$ of all her fame and fortune through$4$ the whole$2$ 
207:240,15['  ]| evening; and if quick$2$ enough to$9$ keep her from looking 
207:240,16['  ]| at her cards when the deal$0$ began, must direct$1$ her in$4$ 
207:240,17['  ]| whatever was to$9$ be done with them to$4$ the end$0$ of it. 
207:240,18['  ]| He was in$4$ high spirits, doing every*thing with happy 
207:240,19['  ]| ease$0$, and pre-eminent in$4$ all the lively turns$0$, quick$2$ 
207:240,20['  ]| resources, and playful impudence that$6#1$ could do honour$0$ 
207:240,21['  ]| to$4$ the game; and the round$2$ table was altogether a very 
207:240,22['  ]| comfortable contrast to$4$ the steady sobriety and orderly 
207:240,23['  ]| silence$0$ of the other. 
207:240,24['  ]| Twice had $MP#E$Sir*Thomas inquired into the enjoyment 
207:240,25['  ]| and success of his lady, but in$4$ vain; no$2$ pause$0$ was long 
207:240,26['  ]| enough for$4$ the time his measured manner needed; and 
207:240,27['  ]| very little of her state$0$ could be known till $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
207:240,28['  ]| was able, at the end$0$ of the first rubber, to$9$ go to$4$ her and 
207:240,29['  ]| pay$1$ her compliments. 
207:240,30[N  ]| "I hope$1$ your ladyship is pleased with the game." 
207:240,31[F  ]| "Oh! dear$7$, yes. ~~ Very entertaining indeed. A very 
207:240,32[F  ]| odd game. I do not know what it is all about$4$. I am 
207:240,33[F  ]| never to$9$ see my cards; and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford does all the 
207:240,34[F  ]| rest$0#1$." 
207:240,35[D  ]| "$MP#B$Bertram," 
207:240,35['  ]| said $MP#D$Crawford some time afterwards, 
207:240,36['  ]| taking the opportunity of a little languor in$4$ the game, 
207:240,37[D  ]| "I have never told you what happened to$4$ me yesterday 
207:240,38[D  ]| in$4$ my ride$0$ home." 
207:240,38['  ]| They had been hunting together, 
207:241,01['  ]| and were in$4$ the midst of a good run$0$, and at some distance$0$ 
207:241,02['  ]| from Mansfield, when his horse being$1$ found to$9$ have flung 
207:241,03['  ]| a shoe, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had been obliged to$9$ give up$5$, 
207:241,04['  ]| and make$1$ the best of his way back$5$. 
207:241,04[D  ]| "I told you I lost 
207:241,05[D  ]| my way after$4$ passing that$6#2$ old farm house, with the yew 
207:241,06[D  ]| trees, because I can never bear$1$ to$9$ ask; but I have not 
207:241,07[D  ]| told you that$3$ with my usual luck ~~ for$3$ I never do wrong 
207:241,08[D  ]| without gaining by$4$ it ~~ I found myself in$4$ due$2$ time in$4$ the 
207:241,09[D  ]| very place$0$ which$6#1$ I had a curiosity to$9$ see. I was suddenly, 
207:241,10[D  ]| upon$4$ turning the corner of a steepish downy field, in$4$ the 
207:241,11[D  ]| midst of a retired little village between gently rising hills; 
207:241,12[D  ]| a small stream before$4$ me to$9$ be forded, a church standing 
207:241,13[D  ]| on$4$ a sort of knoll to$4$ my right$2#2$ ~~ which$6#1$ church was strikingly 
207:241,14[D  ]| large and handsome for$4$ the place$0$, and not a gentleman 
207:241,15[D  ]| or half a gentleman's house to$9$ be seen excepting 
207:241,16[D  ]| one ~~ to$9$ be presumed the Parsonage, within a stone's 
207:241,17[D  ]| throw$0$ of the said knoll and church. I found myself in$4$ 
207:241,18[D  ]| short in$4$ Thornton*Lacey." 
207:241,19[B  ]| "It sounds$1$ like$4$ it," 
207:241,19['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund; 
207:241,19[B  ]| "but which$6#2$ way 
207:241,20[B  ]| did you turn$1$ after$4$ passing $MP#ZZL$Sewell's farm?" 
207:241,21[D  ]| "I answer$1$ no$2$ such irrelevant and insidious questions; 
207:241,22[D  ]| though were I to$9$ answer$1$ all that$6#1$ you could put in$4$ the 
207:241,23[D  ]| course$0$ of an hour, you would never be able to$9$ prove that$3$ 
207:241,24[D  ]| it was \not\ Thornton*Lacey ~~ for$3$ such it certainly was." 
207:241,25[B  ]| "You inquired then?" 
207:241,26[D  ]| "No$7$, I never inquire. But I \told\ a man mending 
207:241,27[D  ]| a hedge that$3$ it was Thornton*Lacey, and he agreed to$9$ it." 
207:241,28[B  ]| "You have a good memory. I had forgotten having 
207:241,29[B  ]| ever told you half so$5#1$ much of the place$0$." 
207:241,30['  ]| Thornton*Lacey was the name$0$ of his impending living, 
207:241,31['  ]| as $MP#C$Miss*Crawford well$5$ knew; and her interest$0$ in$4$ a 
207:241,32['  ]| negociation for$4$ $MP#Q$William*Price's knave increased. 
207:241,33[B  ]| "Well$7$" 
207:241,33['  ]| continued $MP#B$Edmund, 
207:241,33[B  ]| "and how did you like$1$ 
207:241,34[B  ]| what you saw?" 
207:241,35[D  ]| "Very much indeed. You are a lucky fellow. There 
207:241,36[D  ]| will$1$ be work$0$ for$4$ five summers at least before$3$ the place$0$ is 
207:241,37[D  ]| live-able." 
207:241,38[B  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, not so$5#1$ bad as that$6#2$. The farm-yard must be 
207:242,01[B  ]| moved, I grant you; but I am not aware of any*thing 
207:242,02[B  ]| else. The house is by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ bad, and when the yard 
207:242,03[B  ]| is removed, there may$1$ be a very tolerable approach$0$ 
207:242,04[B  ]| to$4$ it." 
207:242,05[D  ]| "The farm-yard must be cleared away entirely, and 
207:242,06[D  ]| planted up$5$ to$9$ shut out$5$ the blacksmith's shop. The house 
207:242,07[D  ]| must be turned to$9$ front$1$ the east instead of the north ~~ the 
207:242,08[D  ]| entrance and principal$2$ rooms, I mean$1$, must be on$4$ that$6#2$ 
207:242,09[D  ]| side$0$, where the view$0$ is really very pretty$2$; I am sure it 
207:242,10[D  ]| may$1$ be done. And \there\ must be your approach$0$ ~~ 
207:242,11[D  ]| through$4$ what is at present$0#1$ the garden. You must make$1$ 
207:242,12[D  ]| you a new garden at what is now the back$0$ of the house; 
207:242,13[D  ]| which$6#1$ will$1$ be giving it the best aspect in$4$ the world ~~ 
207:242,14[D  ]| sloping to$4$ the south-east. The ground seems precisely 
207:242,15[D  ]| formed for$4$ it. I rode fifty yards up$4$ the lane between 
207:242,16[D  ]| the church and the house in$4$ order to$9$ look$1$ about$4$ me; 
207:242,17[D  ]| and saw how it might all be. Nothing can be easier. 
207:242,18[D  ]| The meadows beyond$4$ what \will$1$\ \be\ the garden, as well$5$ as 
207:242,19[D  ]| what now \is\, sweeping round$5$ from the lane I stood in$4$ to$4$ 
207:242,20[D  ]| the north-east, that$6#2$ is, to$4$ the principal$2$ road through$4$ the 
207:242,21[D  ]| village, must be all laid together of course$8$; very pretty$2$ 
207:242,22[D  ]| meadows they are, finely sprinkled with timber. They 
207:242,23[D  ]| belong to$4$ the living, I suppose. If not, you must purchase$1$ 
207:242,24[D  ]| them. Then the stream ~~ something must be done 
207:242,25[D  ]| with the stream; but I could not quite determine what. 
207:242,26[D  ]| I had two or three ideas." 
207:242,27[B  ]| "And I have two or three ideas also," 
207:242,27['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
207:242,28[B  ]| "and one of them is that$3$ very little of your plan for$4$ 
207:242,29[B  ]| Thornton*Lacey will$1$ ever be put in$4$ practice$0$. I must be 
207:242,30[B  ]| satisfied with rather less ornament and beauty. I think 
207:242,31[B  ]| the house and premises may$1$ be made comfortable, and 
207:242,32[B  ]| given the air of a gentleman's residence without any very 
207:242,33[B  ]| heavy expense, and that$6#2$ must suffice me; and I hope$1$ 
207:242,34[B  ]| may$1$ suffice all who$6#1$ care$1$ about$4$ me." 
207:242,35['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, a little suspicious and resentful of 
207:242,36['  ]| a certain tone of voice and a certain half-look attending 
207:242,37['  ]| the last$2$ expression of his hope$0$, made a hasty finish$0$ of her 
207:242,38['  ]| dealings with $MP#Q$William*Price, and securing his knave at 
207:243,01['  ]| an exorbitant rate$0$, exclaimed, 
207:243,01[C  ]| "There, I will$1$ stake$1$ my 
207:243,02[C  ]| last$2$ like$4$ a woman of spirit. No$2$ cold$2$ prudence for$4$ me. 
207:243,03[C  ]| I am not born$1#1$ to$9$ sit still$2$ and do nothing. If I lose the 
207:243,04[C  ]| game, it shall not be from not striving for$4$ it." 
207:243,05['  ]| The game was her's, and only did not pay$1$ her for$4$ 
207:243,06['  ]| what she had given to$9$ secure$1$ it. Another deal$0$ proceeded, 
207:243,07['  ]| and $MP#D$Crawford began again about$4$ Thornton*Lacey. 
207:243,08[D  ]| "My plan may$1$ not be the best possible; I had not 
207:243,09[D  ]| many minutes to$9$ form$1$ it in$4$: but you must do a good 
207:243,10[D  ]| deal$0$. The place$0$ deserves it, and you will$1$ find yourself 
207:243,11[D  ]| not satisfied with much less than it is capable of. ~~ 
207:243,12[D  ]| (Excuse$1$ me, your ladyship must not see your cards. 
207:243,13[D  ]| There, let them lie$1$ just$5$ before$4$ you.) The place$0$ deserves 
207:243,14[D  ]| it, $MP#B$Bertram. You talk$1$ of giving it the air of a gentleman's 
207:243,15[D  ]| residence. \That$6#2$\ will$1$ be done, by$4$ the removal of 
207:243,16[D  ]| the farm-yard, for$3$ independent of that$6#2$ terrible nuisance, 
207:243,17[D  ]| I never saw a house of the kind$0$ which$6#1$ had in$4$ itself so$5#1$ 
207:243,18[D  ]| much the air of a gentleman's residence, so$5#1$ much the look$0$ 
207:243,19[D  ]| of a something above$4$ a mere Parsonage*House, above$4$ 
207:243,20[D  ]| the expenditure of a few hundreds a year. It is not 
207:243,21[D  ]| a scrambling collection of low single rooms, with as 
207:243,22[D  ]| many roofs as windows ~~ it is not cramped into the 
207:243,23[D  ]| vulgar compactness of a square farm-house ~~ it is a solid 
207:243,24[D  ]| walled, roomy, mansion-like looking house, such as one 
207:243,25[D  ]| might suppose a respectable old country family had lived 
207:243,26[D  ]| in$4$ from generation to$4$ generation, through$4$ two centuries 
207:243,27[D  ]| at least, and were now spending from two to$4$ three 
207:243,28[D  ]| thousand a year in$4$." 
207:243,28['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford listened, and 
207:243,29['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund agreed to$4$ this. 
207:243,29[D  ]| "The air of a gentleman's 
207:243,30[D  ]| residence, therefore, you cannot but give it, if you do 
207:243,31[D  ]| any*thing. But it is capable of much more. (Let me 
207:243,32[D  ]| see, $MP#C$Mary; $MP#F$Lady*Bertram bids a dozen for$4$ that$6#2$ queen; 
207:243,33[D  ]| no$7$, no$7$, a dozen is more than it is worth. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
207:243,34[D  ]| does \not\ bid a dozen. She will$1$ have nothing to$9$ say to$4$ it. 
207:243,35[D  ]| Go on$5$, go on$5$.) By$4$ some such improvements as I have 
207:243,36[D  ]| suggested, (I do not really require you to$9$ proceed upon$4$ 
207:243,37[D  ]| my plan, though by*the*bye I doubt$1$ any*body's striking 
207:243,38[D  ]| out$5$ a better) ~~ you may$1$ give it a higher character. You 
207:244,01[D  ]| may$1$ raise it into a \place$0$\. From being$1$ the mere gentleman's 
207:244,02[D  ]| residence, it becomes, by$4$ judicious improvement, 
207:244,03[D  ]| the residence of a man of education, taste, modern manners, 
207:244,04[D  ]| good connections. All this may$1$ be stamped on$4$ it; 
207:244,05[D  ]| and that$6#2$ house receive such an air as to$9$ make$1$ its owner 
207:244,06[D  ]| be set$1$ down$5$ as the great land-holder of the parish, by$4$ 
207:244,07[D  ]| every creature travelling the road; especially as there 
207:244,08[D  ]| is no$2$ real squire's house to$9$ dispute the point$0$; a circumstance 
207:244,09[D  ]| between ourselves to$9$ enhance the value$0$ of such 
207:244,10[D  ]| a situation in$4$ point$0$ of privilege and independence beyond$4$ 
207:244,11[D  ]| all calculation. \You\ think with me, I hope$1$ ~~ 
207:244,11['  ]| (turning 
207:244,12['  ]| with a softened voice to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny). ~~ 
207:244,12[D  ]| Have you ever seen 
207:244,13[D  ]| the place$0$?" 
207:244,14['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny gave a quick$2$ negative, and tried to$9$ hide her 
207:244,15['  ]| interest$0$ in$4$ the subject$0$ by$4$ an eager attention to$4$ her 
207:244,16['  ]| brother, who$6#1$ was driving as hard a bargain and imposing 
207:244,17['  ]| on$4$ her as much as he could; but $MP#D$Crawford pursued with 
207:244,18[D  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, you must not part$1$ with the queen. You have 
207:244,19[D  ]| bought her too$5#1$ dearly$5#2$, and your brother does not offer$1$ 
207:244,20[D  ]| half her value$0$. No$7$, no$7$, sir, hands off ~~ hands off. Your 
207:244,21[D  ]| sister does not part$1$ with the queen. She is quite determined. 
207:244,22[D  ]| The game will$1$ be yours, 
207:244,22['  ]| (turning to$4$ her again) ~~ 
207:244,23[D  ]| it will$1$ certainly be yours." 
207:244,24[B  ]| "And $MP#A$Fanny had much rather it were $MP#Q$William's," 
207:244,25['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, smiling at her. 
207:244,25[B  ]| "Poor $MP#A$Fanny! not 
207:244,26[B  ]| allowed to$9$ cheat herself as she wishes$1$!" 
207:244,27[C  ]| "$MP#B$Mr%*Bertram," 
207:244,27['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, a few minutes 
207:244,28['  ]| afterwards, 
207:244,28[C  ]| "you know $MP#D$Henry to$9$ be such a capital 
207:244,29[C  ]| improver, that$3$ you cannot possibly engage in$4$ any*thing 
207:244,30[C  ]| of the sort at Thornton*Lacey, without accepting his 
207:244,31[C  ]| help$0$. Only think how useful he was at Sotherton! 
207:244,32[C  ]| Only think what grand things were produced there by$4$ 
207:244,33[C  ]| our all going with him one hot day in$4$ August to$9$ drive$1$ 
207:244,34[C  ]| about$4$ the grounds, and see his genius take fire$0$. There 
207:244,35[C  ]| we went, and there we came home again; and what was 
207:244,36[C  ]| done there is not to$9$ be told!" 
207:244,37['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's eyes were turned on$4$ $MP#D$Crawford for$4$ a moment 
207:244,38['  ]| with an expression more than grave$2$, even$5$ reproachful; 
207:245,01['  ]| but on$4$ catching his were instantly withdrawn. With 
207:245,02['  ]| something of consciousness he shook his head$0$ at his 
207:245,03['  ]| sister, and laughingly replied, 
207:245,03[D  ]| "I cannot say there was 
207:245,04[D  ]| much done at Sotherton; but it was a hot day, and we 
207:245,05[D  ]| were all walking after$4$ each other and bewildered." 
207:245,05['  ]| As 
207:245,06['  ]| soon as a general$2$ buz gave him shelter, he added, in$4$ a low 
207:245,07['  ]| voice directed solely at $MP#A$Fanny, 
207:245,07[D  ]| "I should be sorry to$9$ 
207:245,08[D  ]| have my powers of \planning\ judged of by$4$ the day at 
207:245,09[D  ]| Sotherton. I see things very differently now. Do not 
207:245,10[D  ]| think of me as I appeared then." 
207:245,11['  ]| Sotherton was a word to$9$ catch$1$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, and being$1$ 
207:245,12['  ]| just$5$ then in$4$ the happy leisure which$6#1$ followed securing 
207:245,13['  ]| the odd trick$0$ by$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's capital play$0$ and her own$2$, 
207:245,14['  ]| against $MP#M$Dr% and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's great hands, she called 
207:245,14['  ]| out$5$ 
207:245,15['  ]| in$4$ high good-humour, 
207:245,15[J  ]| "Sotherton! Yes, that$6#2$ is a place$0$ 
207:245,16[J  ]| indeed, and we had a charming day there. $MP#Q$William, 
207:245,17[J  ]| you are quite out$5$ of luck; but the next time you come 
207:245,18[J  ]| I hope$1$ dear$2#1$ $MP#K$Mr% and $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth will$1$ be at 
207:245,18[J  ]| home, 
207:245,19[J  ]| and I am sure I can answer$1$ for$4$ your being$1$ kindly received 
207:245,20[J  ]| by$4$ both. Your cousins are not of a sort to$9$ forget their 
207:245,21[J  ]| relations, and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth is a most amiable man. 
207:245,22[J  ]| They are at Brighton now, you know ~~ in$4$ one of the best 
207:245,23[J  ]| houses there, as $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's fine fortune gives them 
207:245,24[J  ]| a right$0$ to$9$ be. I do not exactly know the distance$0$, but 
207:245,25[J  ]| when you get back$5$ to$4$ Portsmouth, if it is not very far off, 
207:245,26[J  ]| you ought to$9$ go over and pay$1$ your respects to$4$ them; 
207:245,27[J  ]| and I could send a little parcel by$4$ you that$6#1$ I want$1$ to$9$ get 
207:245,28[J  ]| conveyed to$4$ your cousins." 
207:245,29[Q  ]| "I should be very happy, aunt ~~ but Brighton is 
207:245,30[Q  ]| almost by$4$ Beachey*Head; and if I could get so$5#1$ far, 
207:245,31[Q  ]| I could not expect to$9$ be welcome$2$ in$4$ such a smart place$0$ 
207:245,32[Q  ]| as that$6#2$ ~~ poor scrubby midshipman as I am." 
207:245,33['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was beginning an eager assurance of the 
207:245,34['  ]| affability he might depend on$4$, when she was stopped by$4$ 
207:245,35['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's saying with authority, 
207:245,35[E  ]| "I do not advise 
207:245,36[E  ]| your going to$4$ Brighton, $MP#Q$William, as I trust$1$ you may$1$ soon 
207:245,37[E  ]| have more convenient opportunities of meeting, but my 
207:245,38[E  ]| daughters would be happy to$9$ see their cousins any*where; 
207:246,01[E  ]| and you will$1$ find $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth most sincerely 
207:246,02[E  ]| disposed to$9$ regard$1$ all the connections of our family as 
207:246,03[E  ]| his own$2$." 
207:246,04[Q  ]| "I would rather find him private$2$ secretary to$4$ the first 
207:246,05[Q  ]| Lord$0$ than any*thing else," 
207:246,05['  ]| was $MP#Q$William's only answer$0$, 
207:246,06['  ]| in$4$ an under voice, not meant to$9$ reach$1$ far, and the subject$0$ 
207:246,07['  ]| dropped. 
207:246,08['  ]| As yet $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had seen nothing to$9$ remark$1$ in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
207:246,09['  ]| behaviour; but when the Whist*table broke 
207:246,10['  ]| up$5$ at the end$0$ of the second$2$ rubber, and leaving $MP#M$Dr%*Grant 
207:246,11['  ]| and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris to$9$ dispute over their last$2$ play$0$, he became 
207:246,12['  ]| a looker-on at the other, he found his niece the object$0$ of 
207:246,13['  ]| attentions, or rather of professions of a somewhat pointed 
207:246,14['  ]| character. 
207:246,15['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was in$4$ the first glow of another scheme$0$ 
207:246,16['  ]| about$4$ Thornton*Lacey, and not being$1$ able to$9$ catch$1$ 
207:246,17['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's ear, was detailing it to$4$ his fair neighbour with 
207:246,18['  ]| a look$0$ of considerable earnestness. 
207:246,18@d   | His scheme$0$ was 
207:246,19@d   | to$9$ rent the house himself the following winter, that$3$ he 
207:246,20@d   | might have a home of his own$2$ in$4$ that$6#2$ neighbourhood; 
207:246,21@d   | and it was not merely for$4$ the use$0$ of it in$4$ the hunting 
207:246,22@d   | season, 
207:246,22['  ]| (as he was then telling her,) 
207:246,22@d   | though \that$6#2$\ consideration 
207:246,23@d   | had certainly some weight, feeling as he did, 
207:246,24@d   | that$3$ in$4$ spite$8$ of all $MP#M$Dr%*Grant's very great kindness, it 
207:246,25@d   | was impossible for$4$ him and his horses to$9$ be accommodated 
207:246,26@d   | where they now were without material$2$ inconvenience; 
207:246,27@d   | but his attachment to$4$ that$6#2$ neighbourhood did 
207:246,28@d   | not depend upon$4$ one amusement or one season of the 
207:246,29@d   | year: he had set$1$ his heart upon$4$ having a something 
207:246,30@d   | there that$6#1$ he could come to$4$ at any time, a little home-stall 
207:246,31@d   | at his command$0$ where all the holidays of his year 
207:246,32@d   | might be spent, and he might find himself continuing, 
207:246,33@d   | improving, and \perfecting\ that$6#2$ friendship and intimacy 
207:246,34@d   | with the Mansfield*Park family which$6#1$ was increasing in$4$ 
207:246,35@d   | value$0$ to$4$ him every day. 
207:246,35['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas heard and was not 
207:246,36['  ]| offended. 
207:246,36@e   | There was no$2$ want$0$ of respect$0$ in$4$ the young 
207:246,37@e   | man's address$0$; and $MP#A$Fanny's reception of it was so$5#1$ 
207:246,38@e   | proper and modest, so$5#1$ calm$2$ and uninviting, that$3$ he had 
207:247,01@e   | nothing to$9$ censure$1$ in$4$ her. She said little, assented only 
207:247,02@e   | here and there, and betrayed no$2$ inclination either of 
207:247,03@e   | appropriating any part$0$ of the compliment$0$ to$4$ herself or 
207:247,04@e   | of strengthening his views in$4$ favour$0$ of Northamptonshire. 
207:247,05['  ]| Finding by$4$ whom$6#1$ he was observed, $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
207:247,06['  ]| addressed himself on$4$ the same subject$0$ to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
207:247,07['  ]| in$4$ a more every*day tone, but still$5$ with feeling. 
207:247,08[D  ]| "I want$1$ to$9$ be your neighbour, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, as you 
207:247,09[D  ]| have perhaps heard me telling $MP#A$Miss*Price. May$1$ I hope$1$ 
207:247,10[D  ]| for$4$ your acquiescence and for$4$ your not influencing your 
207:247,11[D  ]| son against such a tenant?" 
207:247,12['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, politely bowing, replied ~~ 
207:247,12[E  ]| "It is the only 
207:247,13[E  ]| way, sir, in$4$ which$6#1$ I could \not\ wish$1$ you established as 
207:247,14[E  ]| a permanent neighbour; but I hope$1$, and believe, that$3$ 
207:247,15[E  ]| $MP#B$Edmund will$1$ occupy his own$2$ house at Thornton*Lacey. 
207:247,16[E  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, am I saying too$5#1$ much?" 
207:247,17['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, on$4$ this appeal, had first to$9$ hear what was 
207:247,18['  ]| going on$5$, but on$4$ understanding the question$0$, was at no$2$ 
207:247,19['  ]| loss for$4$ an answer$0$. 
207:247,20[B  ]| "Certainly, sir, I have no$2$ idea but of residence. But 
207:247,21[B  ]| $MP#D$Crawford, though I refuse you as a tenant, come to$4$ me 
207:247,22[B  ]| as a friend. Consider the house as half your own$2$ every 
207:247,23[B  ]| winter, and we will$1$ add to$4$ the stables on$4$ your own$2$ 
207:247,24[B  ]| improved plan, and with all the improvements of your 
207:247,25[B  ]| improved plan that$6#1$ may$1$ occur to$4$ you this spring$0$." 
207:247,26[E  ]| "We shall be the losers," 
207:247,26['  ]| continued $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. 
207:247,27[E  ]| "His going, though only eight miles, will$1$ be an unwelcome 
207:247,28[E  ]| contraction of our family circle; but I 
207:247,29[E  ]| should have been deeply mortified, if any son of mine$6$ 
207:247,30[E  ]| could reconcile himself to$4$ doing less. It is perfectly 
207:247,31[E  ]| natural$2$ that$3$ you should not have thought$1$ much on$4$ the 
207:247,32[E  ]| subject$0$, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. But a parish has wants$0$ and 
207:247,33[E  ]| claims which$6#1$ can be known only by$4$ a clergyman constantly 
207:247,34[E  ]| resident, and which$6#1$ no$2$ proxy can be capable of 
207:247,35[E  ]| satisfying to$4$ the same extent. $MP#B$Edmund might, in$4$ the 
207:247,36[E  ]| common$2$ phrase, do the duty of Thornton, that$6#2$ is, he 
207:247,37[E  ]| might read prayers and preach, without giving up$5$ Mansfield*Park; 
207:247,38[E  ]| he might ride$1$ over, every Sunday, to$4$ a house 
207:248,01[E  ]| nominally inhabited, and go through$4$ divine service; he 
207:248,02[E  ]| might be the clergyman of Thornton*Lacey every seventh 
207:248,03[E  ]| day, for$4$ three or four hours, if that$6#2$ would content him. 
207:248,04[E  ]| But it will$1$ not. He knows that$3$ human nature needs 
207:248,05[E  ]| more lessons than a weekly sermon can convey, and that$3$ 
207:248,06[E  ]| if he does not live among his parishioners and prove 
207:248,07[E  ]| himself by$4$ constant attention their well-wisher and 
207:248,08[E  ]| friend, he does very little either for$4$ their good or his own$2$." 
207:248,09['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford bowed his acquiescence. 
207:248,10[E  ]| "I repeat again," 
207:248,10['  ]| added $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
207:248,10[E  ]| "that$3$ Thornton*Lacey 
207:248,11[E  ]| is the only house in$4$ the neighbourhood in$4$ which$6#1$ 
207:248,12[E  ]| I should \not\ be happy to$9$ wait on$5$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford as occupier." 
207:248,13['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford bowed his thanks. 
207:248,14[B  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas," 
207:248,14['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
207:248,14[B  ]| "undoubtedly understands 
207:248,15[B  ]| the duty of a parish priest. ~~ We must hope$1$ his 
207:248,16[B  ]| son may$1$ prove that$3$ \he\ knows it too$5#2$." 
207:248,17['  ]| Whatever effect$0$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's little harangue$0$ might 
207:248,18['  ]| really produce on$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, it raised some awkward 
207:248,19['  ]| sensations in$4$ two of the others, two of his most attentive 
207:248,20['  ]| listeners, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford and $MP#A$Fanny. ~~ one of whom$6#1$, 
207:248,21@a   | having never before$5$ understood that$3$ Thornton was so$5#1$ 
207:248,22@a   | soon and so$5#1$ completely to$9$ be his home, was pondering 
207:248,23@a   | with downcast eyes on$4$ what it would be, \not\ to$9$ see 
207:248,24@a   | $MP#B$Edmund every day; 
207:248,24['  ]| and the other, 
207:248,24@c   | startled from the 
207:248,25@c   | agreeable fancies$0$ she had been previously indulging on$4$ 
207:248,26@c   | the strength of her brother's description, no$2$ longer able, 
207:248,27@c   | in$4$ the picture$0$ she had been forming of a future Thornton, 
207:248,28@c   | to$9$ shut out$5$ the church, sink the clergyman, and see only 
207:248,29@c   | the respectable, elegant, modernized, and occasional 
207:248,30@c   | residence of a man of independent fortune ~~ 
207:248,30['  ]| was considering 
207:248,31['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, with decided ill-will, as the destroyer 
207:248,32['  ]| of all this, and suffering the more from that$6#2$ involuntary 
207:248,33['  ]| forbearance which$6#1$ his character and manner commanded, 
207:248,34['  ]| and from not daring to$9$ relieve herself by$4$ a single attempt$0$ 
207:248,35['  ]| at throwing ridicule$0#1$ on$4$ his cause. 
207:248,36@c   | All the agreeable of \her\ speculation was over for$4$ that$6#2$ 
207:248,37@c   | hour. It was time to$9$ have done with cards if sermons 
207:248,38@c   | prevailed, 
207:248,38['  ]| and she was glad to$9$ find it necessary to$9$ come 
207:249,01['  ]| to$4$ a conclusion and be able to$9$ refresh her spirits by$4$ 
207:249,02['  ]| a change$0$ of place$0$ and neighbour. 
207:249,03['  ]| The chief of the party were now collected irregularly 
207:249,04['  ]| round$4$ the fire$0$, and waiting the final break*up. $MP#Q$William 
207:249,05['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny were the most detached. They remained 
207:249,06['  ]| together at the otherwise deserted card-table, talking 
207:249,07['  ]| very comfortably and not thinking of the rest$0#1$, till some 
207:249,08['  ]| of the rest$0#1$ began to$9$ think of them. $MP#D$Henry*Crawford's 
207:249,09['  ]| chair was the first to$9$ be given a direction towards them, 
207:249,10['  ]| and he sat silently observing them for$4$ a few minutes; 
207:249,11['  ]| himself in$4$ the meanwhile observed by$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, who$6#1$ 
207:249,12['  ]| was standing in$4$ chat$0$ with $MP#M$Dr%*Grant. 
207:249,13[Q  ]| "This is the Assembly night," 
207:249,13['  ]| said $MP#Q$William. 
207:249,13[Q  ]| "If 
207:249,14[Q  ]| I were at Portsmouth, I should be at it perhaps." 
207:249,15[A  ]| "But you do not wish$1$ yourself at Portsmouth, $MP#Q$William?" 
207:249,16[Q  ]| "No$7$, $MP#A$Fanny, that$6#2$ I do not. I shall have enough of 
207:249,17[Q  ]| Portsmouth, and of dancing too$5#2$, when I cannot have you. 
207:249,18[Q  ]| And I do not know that$3$ there would be any good in$4$ 
207:249,19[Q  ]| going to$4$ the Assembly, for$3$ I might not get a partner. 
207:249,20[Q  ]| The Portsmouth girls turn$1$ up$5$ their noses at any*body 
207:249,21[Q  ]| who$6#1$ has not a commission. One might as well$5$ be nothing 
207:249,22[Q  ]| as a midshipman. One \is\ nothing indeed. You remember 
207:249,23[Q  ]| the $MP#ZJ$Gregorys; they are grown up$5$ amazing fine girls, 
207:249,24[Q  ]| but they will$1$ hardly speak to$4$ \me\, because $MP#ZJ$Lucy is courted 
207:249,25[Q  ]| by$4$ a lieutenant." 
207:249,26[A  ]| "Oh! shame$0$, shame$0$! ~~ But never mind$1$ it, $MP#Q$William. 
207:249,27['  ]| (Her own$2$ cheeks in$4$ a glow of indignation as she spoke.) 
207:249,28[A  ]| It is not worth minding. It is no$2$ reflection on$4$ \you\; it is 
207:249,29[A  ]| no$2$ more than what the greatest admirals have all experienced, 
207:249,30[A  ]| more or less, in$4$ their time. You must think of 
207:249,31[A  ]| that$6#2$; you must try to$9$ make$1$ up$5$ your mind$0$ to$4$ it as one 
207:249,32[A  ]| of the hardships which$6#1$ fall$1$ to$4$ every sailor's share$0$ ~~ like$4$ 
207:249,33[A  ]| bad weather and hard living ~~ only with this advantage, 
207:249,34[A  ]| that$3$ there will$1$ be an end$0$ to$4$ it, that$3$ there will$1$ come a time 
207:249,35[A  ]| when you will$1$ have nothing of that$6#2$ sort to$9$ endure. When 
207:249,36[A  ]| you are a lieutenant! ~~ only think, $MP#Q$William, when you 
207:249,37[A  ]| are a lieutenant, how little you will$1$ care$1$ for$4$ any nonsense 
207:249,38[A  ]| of this kind$0$." 
207:250,01[Q  ]| "I begin to$9$ think I shall never be a lieutenant, $MP#A$Fanny. 
207:250,02[Q  ]| Every*body gets made but me." 
207:250,03[A  ]| "Oh! my dear$2#1$ $MP#Q$William, do not talk$1$ so$5#2$, do not be 
207:250,04[A  ]| so$5#1$ desponding. My uncle says nothing, but I am sure 
207:250,05[A  ]| he will$1$ do every*thing in$4$ his power to$9$ get you made. 
207:250,06[A  ]| He knows, as well$5$ as you do, of what consequence 
207:250,07[A  ]| it is." 
207:250,08['  ]| She was checked by$4$ the sight of her uncle much 
207:250,09['  ]| nearer to$4$ them than she had any suspicion of, and each 
207:250,10['  ]| found it necessary to$9$ talk$1$ of something else. 
207:250,11[Q  ]| "Are you fond of dancing, $MP#A$Fanny?" 
207:250,12[A  ]| "Yes, very; ~~ only I am soon tired." 
207:250,13[Q  ]| "I should like$1$ to$9$ go to$4$ a ball$0#2$ with you and see you 
207:250,14[Q  ]| dance$1$. Have you never any balls at Northampton? ~~ 
207:250,15[Q  ]| I should like$1$ to$9$ see you dance$1$, and I'd dance$1$ with you 
207:250,16[Q  ]| if you \would\, for$3$ nobody would know who$6#1$ I was here, 
207:250,17[Q  ]| and I should like$1$ to$9$ be your partner once more. We 
207:250,18[Q  ]| used to$9$ jump about$5$ together many a time, did not we? 
207:250,19[Q  ]| when the hand-organ was in$4$ the street? I am a pretty$5$ 
207:250,20[Q  ]| good dancer in$4$ my way, but I dare$1#2$ say you are a better." ~~ 
207:250,21['  ]| And turning to$4$ his uncle, who$6#1$ was now close$5$ to$4$ them ~~ 
207:250,22[Q  ]| "Is not $MP#A$Fanny a very good dancer, sir?" 
207:250,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ dismay at such an unprecedented question$0$, 
207:250,24['  ]| did not know which$6#1$ way to$9$ look$1$, or how to$9$ be prepared 
207:250,25['  ]| for$4$ the answer$0$. 
207:250,25@a   | Some very grave$2$ reproof, or at least 
207:250,26@a   | the coldest expression of indifference must be coming to$9$ 
207:250,27@a   | distress$1$ her brother, and sink her to$4$ the ground. But, 
207:250,28@a   | on$4$ the contrary, it was no$2$ worse than, 
207:250,28[E  ]| "I am sorry to$9$ say 
207:250,29[E  ]| that$3$ I am unable to$9$ answer$1$ your question$0$. I have never 
207:250,30[E  ]| seen $MP#A$Fanny dance$1$ since she was a little girl; but I trust$1$ 
207:250,31[E  ]| we shall both think she acquits herself like$4$ a gentlewoman 
207:250,32[E  ]| when we do see her, which$6#1$ perhaps we may$1$ have 
207:250,33[E  ]| an opportunity of doing ere long." 
207:250,34[D  ]| "I have had the pleasure of seeing your sister dance$1$, 
207:250,35[D  ]| $MP#Q$Mr%*Price," 
207:250,35['  ]| said $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, leaning forward$5$, 
207:250,35[D  ]| "and 
207:250,36[D  ]| will$1$ engage to$9$ answer$1$ every inquiry which$6#1$ you can 
207:250,37[D  ]| make$1$ on$4$ the subject$0$, to$4$ your entire satisfaction. But 
207:250,38[D  ]| I believe 
207:250,38['  ]| (seeing $MP#A$Fanny look$1$ distressed) 
207:250,38[D  ]| it must be at 
207:251,01[D  ]| some other time. There is \one\ person in$4$ company who$6#1$ 
207:251,02[D  ]| does not like$1$ to$9$ have $MP#A$Miss*Price spoken of." 
207:251,03['  ]| True enough, he had once seen $MP#A$Fanny dance$1$; and it 
207:251,04['  ]| was equally true that$3$ he would now have answered for$4$ 
207:251,05['  ]| her gliding about$5$ with quiet$2$, light$2$ elegance, and in$4$ 
207:251,06['  ]| admirable time, but in$4$ fact he could not for$4$ the life of 
207:251,07['  ]| him recall$1$ what her dancing had been, and rather took 
207:251,08['  ]| it for$4$ granted that$3$ she had been present$5$ than remembered 
207:251,09['  ]| any*thing about$4$ her. 
207:251,10['  ]| He passed, however, for$4$ an admirer of her dancing; 
207:251,11['  ]| and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ displeased, prolonged the 
207:251,12['  ]| conversation on$4$ dancing in$4$ general$0$, and was so$5#1$ well$5$ 
207:251,13['  ]| engaged in$4$ describing the balls of Antigua, and listening 
207:251,14['  ]| to$4$ what his nephew could relate of the different modes of 
207:251,15['  ]| dancing which$6#1$ had fallen within his observation, that$3$ he 
207:251,16['  ]| had not heard his carriage announced, and was first called 
207:251,17['  ]| to$4$ the knowledge of it by$4$ the bustle$0$ of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris. 
207:251,18[J  ]| "Come, $MP#A$Fanny, $MP#A$Fanny, what are you about$4$? We 
207:251,19[J  ]| are going. Do not you see your aunt is going? Quick$2$, 
207:251,20[J  ]| quick$2$. I cannot bear$1$ to$9$ keep good old $MP#W$Wilcox waiting. 
207:251,21[J  ]| You should always remember the coachman and horses. 
207:251,22[J  ]| My dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, we have settled it that$3$ the carriage 
207:251,23[J  ]| should come back$5$ for$4$ you, and $MP#B$Edmund, and $MP#Q$William." 
207:251,24['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could not dissent, as it had been his own$2$ 
207:251,25['  ]| arrangement, previously communicated to$4$ his wife and 
207:251,26['  ]| sister; but \that$6#2$\ seemed forgotten by$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ 
207:251,27['  ]| must fancy$1$ that$3$ she settled it all herself. 
207:251,28['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's last$2$ feeling in$4$ the visit$0$ was disappointment ~~ 
207:251,29['  ]| for$3$ the shawl which$6#1$ $MP#B$Edmund was quietly taking from the 
207:251,30['  ]| servant to$9$ bring and put round$4$ her shoulders, was seized 
207:251,31['  ]| by$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's quicker hand$0$, and she was obliged to$9$ 
207:251,32['  ]| be indebted to$4$ his more prominent attention. 
208:252,01['  ]| $MP#Q$William's desire$0$ of seeing $MP#A$Fanny dance$1$, made more 
208:252,02['  ]| than a momentary impression on$4$ his uncle. The hope$0$ 
208:252,03['  ]| of an opportunity, which$6#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had then given, was 
208:252,04['  ]| not given to$9$ be thought$1$ of no$2$ more. 
208:252,04@e   | He remained steadily 
208:252,05@e   | inclined to$9$ gratify so$5#1$ amiable a feeling ~~ to$9$ gratify any*body 
208:252,06@e   | else who$6#1$ might wish$1$ to$9$ see $MP#A$Fanny dance$1$, and to$9$ 
208:252,07@e   | give pleasure to$4$ the young people in$4$ general$0$; 
208:252,07['  ]| and having 
208:252,08['  ]| thought$1$ the matter over and taken his resolution in$4$ quiet$2$ 
208:252,09['  ]| independence, the result$0$ of it appeared the next morning 
208:252,10['  ]| at breakfast$0$, when, after$4$ recalling and commending what 
208:252,11['  ]| his nephew had said, he added, 
208:252,11[E  ]| "I do not like$1$, $MP#Q$William, 
208:252,12[E  ]| that$3$ you should leave$1$ Northamptonshire without this 
208:252,13[E  ]| indulgence. It would give me pleasure to$9$ see you both 
208:252,14[E  ]| dance$1$. You spoke of the balls at Northampton. Your 
208:252,15[E  ]| cousins have occasionally attended them; but they 
208:252,16[E  ]| would not altogether suit$1$ us now. The fatigue$0$ would be 
208:252,17[E  ]| too$5#1$ much for$4$ your aunt. I believe, we must not think 
208:252,18[E  ]| of a Northampton ball$0#2$. A dance$0$ at home would be more 
208:252,19[E  ]| eligible, and if" ~~ 
208:252,20[J  ]| "Ah! my dear$2#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas," 
208:252,20['  ]| interrupted $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
208:252,21[J  ]| "I knew what was coming. I knew what you were going 
208:252,22[J  ]| to$9$ say. If dear$2#1$ $MP#I$Julia were at home, or dearest $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth 
208:252,23[J  ]| at Sotherton, to$9$ afford a reason$0$, an occasion$0$ for$4$ 
208:252,24[J  ]| such a thing, you would be tempted to$9$ give the young 
208:252,25[J  ]| people a dance$0$ at Mansfield. I know you would. If 
208:252,26[J  ]| \they\ were at home to$9$ grace$1$ the ball$0#2$, a ball$0#2$ you would have 
208:252,27[J  ]| this very Christmas. Thank your uncle, $MP#Q$William, thank 
208:252,28[J  ]| your uncle." 
208:252,29[E  ]| "My daughters," 
208:252,29['  ]| replied $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, gravely interposing, 
208:252,30[E  ]| "have their pleasures at Brighton, and I hope$1$ 
208:252,31[E  ]| are very happy; but the dance$0$ which$6#1$ I think of giving 
208:252,32[E  ]| at Mansfield, will$1$ be for$4$ their cousins. Could we be all 
208:253,01[E  ]| assembled, our satisfaction would undoubtedly be more 
208:253,02[E  ]| complete$2$, but the absence of some is not to$9$ debar the 
208:253,03[E  ]| others of amusement." 
208:253,04['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had not another word to$9$ say. She saw 
208:253,05['  ]| decision in$4$ his looks$0$, and her surprize$0$ and vexation required 
208:253,06['  ]| some minutes silence$0$ to$9$ be settled into composure. 
208:253,07@j   | A ball$0#2$ at such a time! His daughters absent and herself 
208:253,08@j   | not consulted! 
208:253,08['  ]| There was comfort$0$, however, soon at 
208:253,09['  ]| hand$0$. 
208:253,09@j   | \She\ must be the doer of every*thing; $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
208:253,10@j   | would of course$8$ be spared all thought$0$ and exertion, 
208:253,11@j   | and it would all fall$1$ upon$4$ \her\. She should have to$9$ 
208:253,12@j   | do the honours of the evening, 
208:253,12['  ]| and this reflection quickly 
208:253,13['  ]| restored so$5#1$ much of her good*humour as enabled her to$9$ 
208:253,14['  ]| join in$5$ with the others, before$3$ their happiness and thanks 
208:253,15['  ]| were all expressed. 
208:253,16['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, $MP#Q$William, and $MP#A$Fanny, did, in$4$ their different 
208:253,17['  ]| ways, look$1$ and speak as much grateful pleasure in$4$ the 
208:253,18['  ]| promised ball$0#2$, as $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could desire$1$. $MP#B$Edmund's 
208:253,19['  ]| feelings were for$4$ the other two. 
208:253,19@b   | His father had never 
208:253,20@b   | conferred a favour$0$ or shewn a kindness more to$4$ his 
208:253,21@b   | satisfaction. 
208:253,22['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was perfectly quiescent and contented, 
208:253,23['  ]| and had no$2$ objections to$9$ make$1$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas engaged 
208:253,24['  ]| for$4$ its giving her very little trouble$0$, and she assured him, 
208:253,25[F  ]| "that$3$ she was not at all afraid of the trouble$0$, indeed she 
208:253,26[F  ]| could not imagine there would be any." 
208:253,27['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was ready with her suggestions as to$4$ the 
208:253,28['  ]| rooms he would think fittest to$9$ be used, but found it all 
208:253,29['  ]| prearranged; and when she would have conjectured and 
208:253,30['  ]| hinted about$4$ the day, it appeared that$3$ the day was settled 
208:253,31['  ]| too$5#2$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had been amusing himself with shaping 
208:253,32['  ]| a very complete$2$ outline of the business; and as soon as 
208:253,33['  ]| she would listen quietly, could read his list of the families 
208:253,34['  ]| to$9$ be invited, from whom$6#1$ he calculated, with all necessary 
208:253,35['  ]| allowance for$4$ the shortness of the notice$0$, to$9$ collect young 
208:253,36['  ]| people enough to$9$ form$1$ twelve or fourteen couple; and 
208:253,37['  ]| could detail$1$ the considerations which$6#1$ had induced him to$9$ 
208:253,38['  ]| fix on$4$ the 22d, as the most eligible day. 
208:253,38@e   | $MP#Q$William was 
208:254,01@e   | required to$9$ be at Portsmouth on$4$ the 24th; the 22d would 
208:254,02@e   | therefore be the last$2$ day of his visit$0$; but where the days 
208:254,03@e   | were so$5#1$ few it would be unwise to$9$ fix on$4$ any earlier. 
208:254,04['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was obliged to$9$ be satisfied with 
208:254,04@j   | thinking just$5$ 
208:254,05@j   | the same, and with having been on$4$ the point$0$ of proposing 
208:254,06@j   | the 22d herself, as by$4$ far the best day for$4$ the purpose. 
208:254,07['  ]| The ball$0#2$ was now a settled thing, and before$4$ the evening 
208:254,08['  ]| a proclaimed thing to$4$ all whom$6#1$ it concerned. Invitations 
208:254,09['  ]| were sent with dispatch, and many a young lady went 
208:254,10['  ]| to$4$ bed that$6#2$ night with her head$0$ full of happy cares$0$ as 
208:254,11['  ]| well$5$ as $MP#A$Fanny. ~~ To$4$ her, the cares$0$ were sometimes almost 
208:254,12['  ]| beyond$4$ the happiness; for$3$ young and inexperienced, 
208:254,13['  ]| with small means$0$ of choice$0$ and no$2$ confidence in$4$ her own$2$ 
208:254,14['  ]| taste ~~ 
208:254,14@a   | the "how she should be dressed" was a point$0$ of 
208:254,15@a   | painful solicitude; and the almost solitary ornament in$4$ 
208:254,16@a   | her possession, a very pretty$2$ amber cross$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#Q$William 
208:254,17@a   | had brought her from Sicily, was the greatest distress$0$ of 
208:254,18@a   | all, for$3$ she had nothing but a bit of ribbon to$9$ fasten it to$4$; 
208:254,19@a   | and though she had worn it in$4$ that$6#2$ manner once, would 
208:254,20@a   | it be allowable at such a time, in$4$ the midst of all the rich 
208:254,21@a   | ornaments which$6#1$ she supposed all the other young ladies 
208:254,22@a   | would appear in$4$? And yet not to$9$ wear it! $MP#Q$William 
208:254,23@a   | had wanted to$9$ buy her a gold chain too$5#2$, but the purchase$0$ 
208:254,24@a   | had been beyond$4$ his means$0$, and therefore not to$9$ wear the 
208:254,25@a   | cross$0$ might be mortifying him. 
208:254,25['  ]| These were anxious considerations; 
208:254,26['  ]| enough to$9$ sober her spirits even$5$ under the 
208:254,27['  ]| prospect of a ball$0#2$ given principally for$4$ her gratification. 
208:254,28['  ]| The preparations meanwhile went on$5$, and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
208:254,29['  ]| continued to$9$ sit on$4$ her sofa without any inconvenience 
208:254,30['  ]| from them. She had some extra visits from 
208:254,31['  ]| the housekeeper, and her maid was rather hurried in$4$ making 
208:254,32['  ]| up$5$ a new dress$0$ for$4$ her; $MP#E$Sir*Thomas gave orders$0#1$ and 
208:254,33['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris ran about$5$, but all this gave \her\ no$2$ trouble$0$, 
208:254,34['  ]| and as she had foreseen, 
208:254,34[F  ]| "there was in$4$ fact no$2$ trouble$0$ in$4$ 
208:254,35[F  ]| the business." 
208:254,36['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was at this time particularly full of cares$0$; 
208:254,37['  ]| his mind$0$ being$1$ deeply occupied in$4$ the consideration of 
208:254,38['  ]| two important events now at hand$0$, which$6#1$ were to$9$ fix his 
208:255,01['  ]| fate in$4$ life ~~ ordination and matrimony ~~ events of such 
208:255,02['  ]| a serious$2$ character as to$9$ make$1$ the ball$0#2$, which$6#1$ would be 
208:255,03['  ]| very quickly followed by$4$ one of them, appear of less 
208:255,04['  ]| moment in$4$ his eyes than in$4$ those of any other person in$4$ 
208:255,05['  ]| the house. On$4$ the 23d he was going to$4$ a friend near$4$ 
208:255,06['  ]| Peterborough in$4$ the same situation as himself, and they 
208:255,07['  ]| were to$9$ receive ordination in$4$ the course$0$ of the Christmas 
208:255,08['  ]| week. Half his destiny would then be determined ~~ but 
208:255,09['  ]| the other half might not be so$5#1$ very smoothly wooed. 
208:255,10['  ]| His duties would be established, but the wife who$6#1$ was 
208:255,11['  ]| to$9$ share$1$, and animate$1$, and reward$1$ those duties might yet 
208:255,12['  ]| be unattainable. He knew his own$2$ mind$0$, but he was 
208:255,13['  ]| not always perfectly assured of knowing $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's. 
208:255,14@b   | There were points on$4$ which$6#1$ they did not quite agree, there 
208:255,15@b   | were moments in$4$ which$6#1$ she did not seem propitious, and 
208:255,16@b   | though trusting altogether to$4$ her affection, so$5#1$ far as to$9$ 
208:255,17@b   | be resolved (almost resolved) on$4$ bringing it to$4$ a decision 
208:255,18@b   | within a very short time, as soon as the variety of business 
208:255,19@b   | before$4$ him were arranged, and he knew what he had to$9$ offer$1$ 
208:255,20@b   | her ~~ he had many anxious feelings, many doubting hours 
208:255,21@b   | as to$4$ the result$0$. His conviction of her regard$0$ for$4$ him 
208:255,22@b   | was sometimes very strong; he could look$1$ back$5$ on$4$ a long 
208:255,23@b   | course$0$ of encouragement, and she was as perfect$2$ in$4$ disinterested 
208:255,24@b   | attachment as in$4$ every*thing else. But at 
208:255,25@b   | other times doubt$0$ and alarm$0$ intermingled with his hopes$0$, 
208:255,26@b   | and when he thought$1$ of her acknowledged disinclination 
208:255,27@b   | for$4$ privacy and retirement, her decided preference of a 
208:255,28@b   | London life ~~ what could he expect but a determined 
208:255,29@b   | rejection? unless it were an acceptance even$5$ more to$9$ be 
208:255,30@b   | deprecated, demanding such sacrifices of situation and 
208:255,31@b   | employment on$4$ his side$0$ as conscience must forbid. 
208:255,32@b   | The issue$0$ of all depended on$4$ one question$0$. Did she 
208:255,33@b   | love$1$ him well$5$ enough to$9$ forego what had used to$9$ be essential 
208:255,34@b   | points ~~ did she love$1$ him well$5$ enough to$9$ make$1$ them 
208:255,35@b   | no$2$ longer essential? And this question$0$, which$6#1$ he was 
208:255,36@b   | continually repeating to$4$ himself, though oftenest answered 
208:255,37@b   | with a "Yes," had sometimes its "No$7$." 
208:255,38@b   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was soon to$9$ leave$1$ Mansfield, and on$4$ this 
208:256,01@b   | circumstance the "no$7$" and the "yes" had been very 
208:256,02@b   | recently in$4$ alternation. He had seen her eyes sparkle 
208:256,03@b   | as she spoke of the dear$2#1$ friend's letter, which$6#1$ claimed 
208:256,04@b   | a long visit$0$ from her in$4$ London, and of the kindness of 
208:256,05@b   | $MP#D$Henry, in$4$ engaging to$9$ remain where he was till January, 
208:256,06@b   | that$3$ he might convey her thither; he had heard her speak 
208:256,07@b   | of the pleasure of such a journey with an animation which$6#1$ 
208:256,08@b   | had "no$7$" in$4$ every tone. But this had occurred on$4$ the 
208:256,09@b   | first day of its being$1$ settled, within the first hour of the 
208:256,10@b   | burst$0$ of such enjoyment, when nothing but the friends 
208:256,11@b   | she was to$9$ visit$1$, was before$4$ her. He had since heard her 
208:256,12@b   | express$1$ herself differently ~~ with other feelings ~~ more 
208:256,13@b   | chequered feelings; he had heard her tell $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
208:256,14@b   | that$3$ she should leave$1$ her with regret$0$; that$3$ she began to$9$ 
208:256,15@b   | believe neither the friends nor the pleasures she was going 
208:256,16@b   | to$4$ were worth those she left behind; and that$3$ though 
208:256,17@b   | she felt she must go, and knew she should enjoy herself 
208:256,18@b   | when once away, she was already looking forward$5$ to$4$ 
208:256,19@b   | being$1$ at Mansfield again. Was there not a "yes" in$4$ 
208:256,20@b   | all this? 
208:256,21['  ]| With such matters to$9$ ponder over, and arrange, and 
208:256,22['  ]| re-arrange, $MP#B$Edmund could not, on$4$ his own$2$ account$0$, think 
208:256,23['  ]| very much of the evening, which$6#1$ the rest$0#1$ of the family 
208:256,24['  ]| were looking forward$5$ to$4$ with a more equal$2$ degree of 
208:256,25['  ]| strong interest$0$. 
208:256,25@b   | Independent of his two cousins' enjoyment 
208:256,26@b   | in$4$ it, the evening was to$4$ him of no$2$ higher value$0$ 
208:256,27@b   | than any other appointed meeting of the two families 
208:256,28@b   | might be. In$4$ every meeting there was a hope$0$ of receiving 
208:256,29@b   | farther confirmation of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's attachment; but 
208:256,30@b   | the whirl of a ball-room perhaps was not particularly 
208:256,31@b   | favourable to$4$ the excitement or expression of serious$2$ 
208:256,32@b   | feelings. To$9$ engage her early for$4$ the two first dances$0$, 
208:256,33@b   | was all the command$0$ of individual happiness which$6#1$ he 
208:256,34@b   | felt in$4$ his power, and the only preparation for$4$ the ball$0#2$ 
208:256,35@b   | which$6#1$ he could enter into, in$4$ spite$8$ of all that$6#1$ was passing 
208:256,36@b   | around$4$ him on$4$ the subject$0$, from morning till night. 
208:256,37['  ]| Thursday was the day of the ball$0#2$: and on$4$ Wednesday 
208:256,38['  ]| morning, $MP#A$Fanny, still$5$ unable to$9$ satisfy herself, as to$4$ what 
208:257,01['  ]| she ought to$9$ wear, determined to$9$ seek the counsel$0$ of the 
208:257,02['  ]| more enlightened, and apply to$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and her sister, 
208:257,03['  ]| whose$6#1$ acknowledged taste would certainly bear$1$ her blameless; 
208:257,04['  ]| and as $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#Q$William were gone to$4$ Northampton, 
208:257,05['  ]| and she had reason$0$ to$9$ think $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford likewise 
208:257,06['  ]| out$5$, she walked down$5$ to$4$ the Parsonage without much 
208:257,07['  ]| fear$0$ of wanting an opportunity for$4$ private$2$ discussion; 
208:257,08['  ]| and the privacy of such a discussion was a most important 
208:257,09['  ]| part$0$ of it to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, being$1$ more than half ashamed of her 
208:257,10['  ]| own$2$ solicitude. 
208:257,11['  ]| She met $MP#C$Miss*Crawford within a few yards of the Parsonage, 
208:257,12['  ]| just$5$ setting out$5$ to$9$ call$1$ on$4$ her, and as it seemed 
208:257,13['  ]| to$4$ her, that$3$ her friend, though obliged to$9$ insist on$4$ turning 
208:257,14['  ]| back$5$, was unwilling to$9$ lose her walk$0$, she explained her
208:257,15['  ]| business at once and observed that$3$ 
208:257,15@a   | if she would be so$5#1$ kind$2$ 
208:257,16@a   | as to$9$ give her opinion, it might be all talked over as well$5$ 
208:257,17@a   | without doors as within. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford appeared gratified 
208:257,18@a   | by$4$ the application, 
208:257,18['  ]| and after$4$ a moment's thought$0$, 
208:257,19['  ]| urged $MP#A$Fanny's returning with her in$4$ a much more cordial$2$ 
208:257,20['  ]| manner than before$5$, and 
208:257,20@c   | proposed their going up$5$ into 
208:257,21@c   | her room, where they might have a comfortable coze, 
208:257,22@c   | without disturbing $MP#M$Dr% and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, who$6#1$ were together 
208:257,23@c   | in$4$ the drawing-room. 
208:257,23['  ]| It was just$5$ the plan to$9$ suit$1$ $MP#A$Fanny; 
208:257,24['  ]| and with a great deal$0$ of gratitude on$4$ her side$0$ for$4$ such 
208:257,25['  ]| ready and kind$2$ attention, they proceeded in*doors and 
208:257,26['  ]| upstairs, and were soon deep in$4$ the interesting subject$0$. 
208:257,27['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, pleased with the appeal, gave her all her 
208:257,28['  ]| best judgment and taste, made every*thing easy by$4$ her 
208:257,29['  ]| suggestions, and tried to$9$ make$1$ every*thing agreeable by$4$ 
208:257,30['  ]| her encouragement. The dress$0$ being$1$ settled in$4$ all its 
208:257,31['  ]| grander parts, ~~ 
208:257,31[C  ]| "But what shall you have by$4$ way of 
208:257,32[C  ]| necklace?" 
208:257,32['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. 
208:257,32[C  ]| "Shall not you wear 
208:257,33[C  ]| your brother's cross$0$?" 
208:257,33['  ]| And as she spoke she was 
208:257,34['  ]| undoing a small parcel, which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny had observed in$4$ 
208:257,35['  ]| her hand$0$ when they met. $MP#A$Fanny acknowledged her 
208:257,36['  ]| wishes$0$ and doubts$0$ on$4$ this point$0$; 
208:257,36@a   | she did not know how 
208:257,37@a   | either to$9$ wear the cross$0$, or to$9$ refrain from wearing it. 
208:257,38['  ]| She was answered by$4$ having a small trinket-box placed 
208:258,01['  ]| before$4$ her, and being$1$ requested to$9$ chuse from among 
208:258,02['  ]| several gold chains and necklaces. Such had been the 
208:258,03['  ]| parcel with which$6#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was provided, and such 
208:258,04['  ]| the object$0$ of her intended visit$0$; and in$4$ the kindest 
208:258,05['  ]| manner she now urged $MP#A$Fanny's taking one for$4$ the cross$0$ 
208:258,06['  ]| and to$9$ keep for$4$ her sake, saying every*thing she could 
208:258,07['  ]| think of to$9$ obviate the scruples which$6#1$ were making $MP#A$Fanny 
208:258,08['  ]| start$1$ back$5$ at first with a look$0$ of horror at the proposal. 
208:258,09[C  ]| "You see what a collection I have," 
208:258,09['  ]| said she, 
208:258,09[C  ]| "more 
208:258,10[C  ]| by$4$ half than I ever use$1$ or think of. I do not offer$1$ them 
208:258,11[C  ]| as new. I offer$1$ nothing but an old necklace. You must 
208:258,12[C  ]| forgive the liberty and oblige me." 
208:258,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny still$5$ resisted, and from her heart. 
208:258,13@a   | The gift was 
208:258,14@a   | too$5#1$ valuable. 
208:258,14['  ]| But, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford persevered, and argued 
208:258,15['  ]| the case with so$5#1$ much affectionate earnestness through$4$ 
208:258,16['  ]| all the heads of $MP#Q$William and the cross$0$, and the ball$0#2$, and 
208:258,17['  ]| herself, as to$9$ be finally successful. $MP#A$Fanny found herself 
208:258,18@a   | obliged to$9$ yield that$3$ she might not be accused of pride 
208:258,19@a   | or indifference, or some other littleness; 
208:258,19['  ]| and having with 
208:258,20['  ]| modest reluctance given her consent$0$, proceeded to$9$ make$1$ 
208:258,21['  ]| the selection. She looked and looked, 
208:258,21@a   | longing to$9$ know 
208:258,22@a   | which$6#1$ might be least valuable; and was determined in$4$ 
208:258,23@a   | her choice$0$ at last$0$, by$4$ fancying there was one necklace 
208:258,24@a   | more frequently placed before$4$ her eyes than the rest$0#1$. 
208:258,25['  ]| It was of gold prettily worked; and though $MP#A$Fanny would 
208:258,26['  ]| have preferred a longer and a plainer chain as more 
208:258,27['  ]| adapted for$4$ her purpose, she hoped in$4$ fixing on$4$ this, to$9$ 
208:258,28['  ]| be chusing what $MP#C$Miss*Crawford least wished to$9$ keep. 
208:258,29['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford smiled her perfect$2$ approbation; and 
208:258,30['  ]| hastened to$9$ complete$1$ the gift by$4$ putting the necklace 
208:258,31['  ]| round$4$ her and making her see how well$5$ it looked. 
208:258,32['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had not a word to$9$ say against its becomingness, 
208:258,33@a   | and excepting what remained of her scruples, was exceedingly 
208:258,34@a   | pleased with an acquisition so$5#1$ very apropos. She 
208:258,35@a   | would rather perhaps have been obliged to$4$ some other 
208:258,36@a   | person. But this was an unworthy feeling. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
208:258,37@a   | had anticipated her wants$0$ with a kindness which$6#1$ 
208:258,38@a   | proved her a real friend. 
208:258,38[A  ]| "When I wear this necklace I 
208:259,01[A  ]| shall always think of you," 
208:259,01['  ]| said she, 
208:259,01[A  ]| "and feel how very 
208:259,02[A  ]| kind$2$ you were." 
208:259,03[C  ]| "You must think of somebody else too$5#2$ when you wear 
208:259,04[C  ]| that$6#2$ necklace," 
208:259,04['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. 
208:259,04[C  ]| "You must think 
208:259,05[C  ]| of $MP#D$Henry, for$3$ it was his choice$0$ in$4$ the first place$0$. He gave 
208:259,06[C  ]| it to$4$ me, and with the necklace I make$1$ over to$4$ you all 
208:259,07[C  ]| the duty of remembering the original giver. It is to$9$ be 
208:259,08[C  ]| a family remembrancer. The sister is not to$9$ be in$4$ your 
208:259,09[C  ]| mind$0$ without bringing the brother too$5#2$." 
208:259,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ great astonishment and confusion, would 
208:259,11['  ]| have returned the present$0#2$ instantly. 
208:259,11@a   | To$9$ take what had 
208:259,12@a   | been the gift of another person ~~ of a brother too$5#2$ ~~ impossible! ~~ 
208:259,13@a   | it must not be! ~~ 
208:259,13['  ]| and with an eagerness and 
208:259,14['  ]| embarrassment quite diverting to$4$ her companion, she laid 
208:259,15['  ]| down$5$ the necklace again on$4$ its cotton, and seemed resolved 
208:259,16['  ]| either to$9$ take another or none at all. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
208:259,17['  ]| thought$1$ 
208:259,17@c   | she had never seen a prettier consciousness. 
208:259,18[C  ]| "My dear$2#1$ child," 
208:259,18['  ]| said she laughing, 
208:259,18[C  ]| "what are you 
208:259,19[C  ]| afraid of? Do you think $MP#D$Henry will$1$ claim$1$ the necklace 
208:259,20[C  ]| as mine$6$, and fancy$1$ you did not come honestly by$4$ it? ~~ 
208:259,21[C  ]| or are you imagining he would be too$5#1$ much flattered by$4$ 
208:259,22[C  ]| seeing round$4$ your lovely throat an ornament which$6#1$ his 
208:259,23[C  ]| money purchased three years ago, before$3$ he knew there 
208:259,24[C  ]| was such a throat in$4$ the world? ~~ or perhaps ~~ 
208:259,24['  ]| looking 
208:259,25['  ]| archly ~~ 
208:259,25[C  ]| you suspect a confederacy between us, and that$3$ 
208:259,26[C  ]| what I am now doing is with his knowledge and at his 
208:259,27[C  ]| desire$0$?" 
208:259,28['  ]| With the deepest blushes $MP#A$Fanny protested against such 
208:259,29['  ]| a thought$0$. 
208:259,30[C  ]| "Well$7$ then," 
208:259,30['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford more seriously but 
208:259,31['  ]| without at all believing her, 
208:259,31[C  ]| "to$9$ convince me that$3$ you 
208:259,32[C  ]| suspect no$2$ trick$0$, and are as unsuspicious of compliment$0$ 
208:259,33[C  ]| as I have always found you, take the necklace, and say 
208:259,34[C  ]| no$2$ more about$4$ it. Its being$1$ a gift of my brother's need$1$ 
208:259,35[C  ]| not make$1$ the smallest difference in$4$ your accepting it, as 
208:259,36[C  ]| I assure you it makes none in$4$ my willingness to$9$ part$1$ with 
208:259,37[C  ]| it. He is always giving me something or other. I have 
208:259,38[C  ]| such innumerable presents$0$ from him that$3$ it is quite 
208:260,01[C  ]| impossible for$4$ me to$9$ value$1$, or for$4$ him to$9$ remember half. 
208:260,02[C  ]| And as for$4$ this necklace, I do not suppose I have worn it 
208:260,03[C  ]| six times; it is very pretty$2$ ~~ but I never think of it; and 
208:260,04[C  ]| though you would be most heartily welcome$2$ to$4$ any other 
208:260,05[C  ]| in$4$ my trinket-box, you have happened to$9$ fix on$4$ the very 
208:260,06[C  ]| one which$6#1$, if I have a choice$0$, I would rather part$1$ with 
208:260,07[C  ]| and see in$4$ your possession than any other. Say no$2$ more 
208:260,08[C  ]| against it, I entreat you. Such a trifle$0$ is not worth half 
208:260,09[C  ]| so$5#1$ many words." 
208:260,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny dared not make$1$ any further opposition; and 
208:260,11['  ]| with renewed but less happy thanks accepted the necklace 
208:260,12['  ]| again, for$3$ there was an expression in$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's eyes 
208:260,13['  ]| which$6#1$ she could not be satisfied with. 
208:260,14@a   | It was impossible for$4$ her to$9$ be insensible of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
208:260,15@a   | change$0$ of manners. She had long seen it. He 
208:260,16@a   | evidently tried to$9$ please her ~~ he was gallant ~~ he was 
208:260,17@a   | attentive ~~ he was something like$4$ what he had been to$4$ 
208:260,18@a   | her cousins: he wanted, she supposed, to$9$ cheat her of her 
208:260,19@a   | tranquillity as he had cheated them; and whether he 
208:260,20@a   | might not have some concern$0$ in$4$ this necklace! ~~ She 
208:260,21@a   | could not be convinced that$3$ he had not, for$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
208:260,22@a   | complaisant as a sister, was careless as a woman and a 
208:260,23@a   | friend. 
208:260,24['  ]| Reflecting and doubting, and feeling that$3$ the possession 
208:260,25['  ]| of what she had so$5#1$ much wished for$5$, did not bring much 
208:260,26['  ]| satisfaction, she now walked home again ~~ with a change$0$ 
208:260,27['  ]| rather than a diminution of cares$0$ since her treading that$6#2$ 
208:260,28['  ]| path before$5$. 
209:261,01['  ]| On$4$ reaching home, $MP#A$Fanny went immediately up*stairs 
209:261,02['  ]| to$9$ deposit this unexpected acquisition, this doubtful good 
209:261,03['  ]| of a necklace, in$4$ some favourite$2$ box in$4$ the east*room 
209:261,04['  ]| which$6#1$ held all her smaller treasures; but on$4$ opening the 
209:261,05['  ]| door, what was her surprize$0$ to$9$ find her cousin $MP#B$Edmund 
209:261,06['  ]| there writing at the table! 
209:261,06@a   | Such a sight having never 
209:261,07@a   | occurred before$5$, was almost as wonderful as it was 
209:261,08@a   | welcome$2$. 
209:261,09[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny," 
209:261,09['  ]| said he directly, leaving his seat and his pen, 
209:261,10['  ]| and meeting her with something in$4$ his hand$0$. 
209:261,10[B  ]| "I beg your 
209:261,11[B  ]| pardon$0$ for$4$ being$1$ here. I came to$9$ look$1$ for$4$ you, and after$4$ 
209:261,12[B  ]| waiting a little while$0$ in$4$ hope$0$ of your coming in$5$, was making 
209:261,13[B  ]| use$0$ of your inkstand to$9$ explain my errand. You will$1$ 
209:261,14[B  ]| find the beginning of a note$0$ to$4$ yourself; but I can now 
209:261,15[B  ]| speak my business, which$6#1$ is merely to$9$ beg your acceptance 
209:261,16[B  ]| of this little trifle$0$ ~~ a chain for$4$ $MP#Q$William's cross$0$. You 
209:261,17[B  ]| ought to$9$ have had it a week ago, but there has been a 
209:261,18[B  ]| delay$0$ from my brother's not being$1$ in$4$ town by$4$ several days 
209:261,19[B  ]| so$5#1$ soon as I expected; and I have only just$5$ now received 
209:261,20[B  ]| it at Northampton. I hope$1$ you will$1$ like$1$ the chain itself, 
209:261,21[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. I endeavoured to$9$ consult the simplicity of your 
209:261,22[B  ]| taste, but at any rate$0$ I know you will$1$ be kind$2$ to$4$ my 
209:261,22[B  ]| intentions, 
209:261,23[B  ]| and consider it, as it really is, a token of the love$0$ 
209:261,24[B  ]| of one of your oldest friends." 
209:261,25['  ]| And so$5#2$ saying, he was hurrying away, before$3$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
209:261,26['  ]| overpowered by$4$ a thousand feelings of pain$0$ and pleasure, 
209:261,27['  ]| could attempt$1$ to$9$ speak; but quickened by$4$ one sovereign 
209:261,28['  ]| wish$0$ she then called out$5$, 
209:261,28[A  ]| "Oh! cousin, stop$1$ a moment, 
209:261,29[A  ]| pray stop$1$." 
209:261,30['  ]| He turned back$5$. 
209:261,31[A  ]| "I cannot attempt$1$ to$9$ thank you," 
209:261,31['  ]| she continued in$4$ 
209:261,32['  ]| a very agitated manner, 
209:261,32[A  ]| "thanks are out$5$ of the question$0$. 
209:262,01[A  ]| I feel much more than I can possibly express$1$. Your 
209:262,02[A  ]| goodness in$4$ thinking of me in$4$ such a way is beyond$4$" ~~ 
209:262,03[B  ]| "If this is all you have to$9$ say, $MP#A$Fanny," 
209:262,03['  ]| smiling and 
209:262,04['  ]| turning away again ~~ 
209:262,05[A  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, it is not. I want$1$ to$9$ consult you." 
209:262,06['  ]| Almost unconsciously she had now undone the parcel 
209:262,07['  ]| he had just$5$ put into her hand$0$, and seeing before$4$ her, in$4$ 
209:262,08['  ]| all the niceness of jeweller's packing, a plain gold chain 
209:262,09['  ]| perfectly simple$2$ and neat, she could not help$1$ bursting 
209:262,10['  ]| forth again. 
209:262,10[A  ]| "Oh! this is beautiful indeed! this is the 
209:262,11[A  ]| very thing, precisely what I wished for$4$! this is the only 
209:262,12[A  ]| ornament I have ever had a desire$0$ to$9$ possess. It will$1$ 
209:262,13[A  ]| exactly suit$1$ my cross$0$. They must and shall be worn 
209:262,14[A  ]| together. It comes too$5#2$ in$4$ such an acceptable moment. 
209:262,15[A  ]| Oh! cousin, you do not know how acceptable it is." 
209:262,16[B  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, you feel these things a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ 
209:262,17[B  ]| much. I am most happy that$3$ you like$1$ the chain, and 
209:262,18[B  ]| that$3$ it should be here in$4$ time for$4$ to-morrow: but your 
209:262,19[B  ]| thanks are far beyond$4$ the occasion$0$. Believe me, I have 
209:262,20[B  ]| no$2$ pleasure in$4$ the world superior to$4$ that$6#2$ of contributing 
209:262,21[B  ]| to$4$ yours. No$7$, I can safely say, I have no$2$ pleasure so$5#1$ 
209:262,22[B  ]| complete$2$, so$5#1$ unalloyed. It is without a drawback." 
209:262,23['  ]| Upon$4$ such expressions of affection, $MP#A$Fanny could have 
209:262,24['  ]| lived an hour without saying another word; but $MP#B$Edmund, 
209:262,25['  ]| after$4$ waiting a moment, obliged her to$9$ bring down$5$ her 
209:262,26['  ]| mind$0$ from its heavenly flight by$4$ saying, 
209:262,26[B  ]| "But what is it 
209:262,27[B  ]| that$6#1$ you want$1$ to$9$ consult me about$4$?" 
209:262,28['  ]| It was about$4$ the necklace, which$6#1$ she was now most 
209:262,29['  ]| earnestly longing to$9$ return$1$, and hoped to$9$ obtain his approbation 
209:262,30['  ]| of her doing. She gave the history of her recent 
209:262,31['  ]| visit$0$, and now her raptures might well$5$ be over, for$3$ $MP#B$Edmund 
209:262,32['  ]| was so$5#1$ struck with the circumstance, so$5#1$ delighted 
209:262,33['  ]| with what $MP#C$Miss*Crawford had done, so$5#1$ gratified by$4$ such 
209:262,34['  ]| a coincidence of conduct$0$ between them, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could 
209:262,35['  ]| not but admit the superior power of \one\ pleasure over his 
209:262,36['  ]| own$2$ mind$0$, though it might have its drawback. It was 
209:262,37['  ]| some time before$3$ she could get his attention to$4$ her plan, 
209:262,38['  ]| or any answer$0$ to$4$ her demand$0$ of his opinion; he was in$4$ a 
209:263,01['  ]| reverie of fond reflection, uttering only now and then 
209:263,02['  ]| a few half sentences of praise$0$; but when he did awake$1$ 
209:263,03['  ]| and understand, he was very decided in$4$ opposing what 
209:263,04['  ]| she wished. 
209:263,05[B  ]| "Return$1$ the necklace! No$7$, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, upon$4$ no$2$ 
209:263,06[B  ]| account$0$. It would be mortifying her severely. There 
209:263,07[B  ]| can hardly be a more unpleasant sensation$0#1$ than the having 
209:263,08[B  ]| any*thing returned on$4$ our hands, which$6#1$ we have given 
209:263,09[B  ]| with a reasonable hope$0$ of its contributing to$4$ the comfort$0$ 
209:263,10[B  ]| of a friend. Why should she lose a pleasure which$6#1$ she 
209:263,11[B  ]| has shewn herself so$5#1$ deserving of?" 
209:263,12[A  ]| "If it had been given to$4$ me in$4$ the first instance$0$," 
209:263,12['  ]| said 
209:263,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, 
209:263,13[A  ]| "I should not have thought$1$ of returning it; but 
209:263,14[A  ]| being$1$ her brother's present$0#2$, is not it fair to$9$ suppose that$3$ 
209:263,15[A  ]| she would rather not part$1$ with it, when it is not wanted?" 
209:263,16[B  ]| "She must not suppose it not wanted, not acceptable 
209:263,17[B  ]| at least; and its having been originally her brother's gift 
209:263,18[B  ]| makes no$2$ difference, for$3$ as she was not prevented from 
209:263,19[B  ]| offering, nor you from taking it on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$, it ought 
209:263,20[B  ]| not to$9$ affect your keeping it. No$2$ doubt$0$ it is handsomer 
209:263,21[B  ]| than mine$6$, and fitter for$4$ a ball-room." 
209:263,22[A  ]| "No$7$, it is not handsomer, not at all handsomer in$4$ its 
209:263,23[A  ]| way, and for$4$ my purpose not half so$5#1$ fit$2$. The chain will$1$ 
209:263,24[A  ]| agree with $MP#Q$William's cross$0$ beyond$4$ all comparison better 
209:263,25[A  ]| than the necklace." 
209:263,26[B  ]| "For$4$ one night, $MP#A$Fanny, for$4$ only one night, if it \be\ a 
209:263,27[B  ]| sacrifice$0$ ~~ I am sure you will$1$, upon$4$ consideration, make$1$ 
209:263,28[B  ]| that$6#2$ sacrifice$0$ rather than give pain$0$ to$4$ one who$6#1$ has been 
209:263,29[B  ]| so$5#1$ studious of your comfort$0$. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's attentions 
209:263,30[B  ]| to$4$ you have been ~~ not more than you were justly entitled 
209:263,31[B  ]| to$4$ ~~ I am the last$2$ person to$9$ think that$6#2$ \could\ \be\ ~~ but 
209:263,31[B  ]| they 
209:263,32[B  ]| have been invariable; and to$9$ be returning them with 
209:263,33[B  ]| what must have something the \air\ of ingratitude, though 
209:263,34[B  ]| I know it could never have the \meaning\, is not in$4$ your 
209:263,35[B  ]| nature I am sure. Wear the necklace, as you are engaged 
209:263,36[B  ]| to$9$ do to-morrow evening, and let the chain, which$6#1$ was 
209:263,37[B  ]| not ordered with any reference to$4$ the ball$0#2$, be kept for$4$ 
209:263,38[B  ]| commoner occasions. This is my advice. I would not 
209:264,01[B  ]| have the shadow of a coolness between the two whose$6#1$ 
209:264,02[B  ]| intimacy I have been observing with the greatest pleasure, 
209:264,03[B  ]| and in$4$ whose$6#1$ characters there is so$5#1$ much general$2$ resemblance 
209:264,04[B  ]| in$4$ true generosity and natural$2$ delicacy as to$9$ make$1$ 
209:264,05[B  ]| the few slight$2$ differences, resulting principally from situation, 
209:264,06[B  ]| no$2$ reasonable hindrance to$4$ a perfect$2$ friendship. I 
209:264,07[B  ]| would not have the shadow of a coolness arise," 
209:264,07['  ]| he 
209:264,08['  ]| repeated, his voice sinking a little, 
209:264,08[B  ]| "between the two 
209:264,09[B  ]| dearest objects$0$ I have on$4$ earth." 
209:264,10['  ]| He was gone as he spoke; and $MP#A$Fanny remained to$9$ 
209:264,11['  ]| tranquillise herself as she could. 
209:264,11@a   | She was one of his two 
209:264,12@a   | dearest ~~ that$6#2$ must support$1$ her. But the other! ~~ the 
209:264,13@a   | first! She had never heard him speak so$5#1$ openly before$5$, 
209:264,14@a   | and though it told her no$2$ more than what she had long 
209:264,15@a   | perceived, it was a stab; ~~ for$3$ it told of his own$2$ convictions 
209:264,16@a   | and views. They were decided. He would marry 
209:264,17@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. It was a stab, in$4$ spite$8$ of every long-standing 
209:264,18@a   | expectation; and she was obliged to$9$ repeat 
209:264,19@a   | again and again that$3$ she was one of his two dearest, before$3$ 
209:264,20@a   | the words gave her any sensation$0#1$. Could she believe $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
209:264,21@a   | to$9$ deserve him, it would be ~~ Oh! how different 
209:264,22@a   | would it be ~~ how far more tolerable! But he was 
209:264,23@a   | deceived in$4$ her; he gave her merits which$6#1$ she had not; 
209:264,24@a   | her faults were what they had ever been, but he saw them 
209:264,25@a   | no$2$ longer. 
209:264,25['  ]| Till she had shed many tears over this deception, 
209:264,26['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not subdue her agitation; and the 
209:264,27['  ]| dejection which$6#1$ followed could only be relieved by$4$ the 
209:264,28['  ]| influence$0$ of fervent prayers for$4$ his happiness. 
209:264,29@a   | It was her intention, as she felt it to$9$ be her duty, to$9$ try 
209:264,30@a   | to$9$ overcome all that$6#1$ was excessive, all that$6#1$ bordered on$4$ 
209:264,31@a   | selfishness in$4$ her affection for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund. To$9$ call$1$ or to$9$ 
209:264,32@a   | fancy$1$ it a loss, a disappointment, would be a presumption; 
209:264,33@a   | for$4$ which$6#1$ she had not words strong enough to$9$ satisfy her 
209:264,34@a   | own$2$ humility. To$9$ think of him as $MP#C$Miss*Crawford might 
209:264,35@a   | be justified in$4$ thinking, would in$4$ her be insanity. To$4$ 
209:264,36@a   | her, he could be nothing under any circumstances ~~ 
209:264,37@a   | nothing dearer than a friend. Why did such an idea occur 
209:264,38@a   | to$4$ her even$5$ enough to$9$ be reprobated and forbidden? It 
209:265,01@a   | ought not to$9$ have touched on$4$ the confines of her imagination. 
209:265,02@a   | She would endeavour$1$ to$9$ be rational, and to$9$ deserve 
209:265,03@a   | the right$0$ of judging of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's character and the 
209:265,04@a   | privilege of true solicitude for$4$ him by$4$ a sound$0$ intellect 
209:265,05@a   | and an honest heart. 
209:265,06['  ]| She had all the heroism of principle, and was determined 
209:265,07['  ]| to$9$ do her duty; but having also many of the feelings of 
209:265,08['  ]| youth and nature, let her not be much wondered at if, 
209:265,09['  ]| after$4$ making all these good resolutions on$4$ the side$0$ of self-government, 
209:265,10['  ]| she seized the scrap of paper on$4$ which$6#1$ 
209:265,11['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had begun writing to$4$ her, as a treasure beyond$4$ 
209:265,12['  ]| all her hopes$0$, and reading with the tenderest emotion 
209:265,13['  ]| these words, 
209:265,13[B  ]| "My very dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, you must do me the 
209:265,14[B  ]| favour$0$ to$9$ accept" ~~ 
209:265,14['  ]| locked it up$5$ with the chain, as the 
209:265,15['  ]| dearest part$0$ of the gift. 
209:265,15@a   | It was the only thing approaching 
209:265,16@a   | to$4$ a letter which$6#1$ she had ever received from him; 
209:265,17@a   | she might never receive another; it was impossible that$3$ 
209:265,18@a   | she ever should receive another so$5#1$ perfectly gratifying in$4$ 
209:265,19@a   | the occasion$0$ and the style. 
209:265,19['  ]| Two lines more prized had 
209:265,20['  ]| never fallen from the pen of the most distinguished author 
209:265,21['  ]| ~~ never more completely blessed the researches of the 
209:265,22['  ]| fondest biographer. The enthusiasm of a woman's love$0$ 
209:265,23['  ]| is even$5$ beyond$4$ the biographer's. To$4$ her, the hand-writing 
209:265,24['  ]| itself, independent of any*thing it may$1$ convey, 
209:265,25['  ]| is a blessedness. 
209:265,25@a   | Never were such characters cut$1$ by$4$ any 
209:265,26@a   | other human being$0$, as $MP#B$Edmund's commonest hand-writing, 
209:265,27@a   | gave! This specimen, written in$4$ haste as it was, had 
209:265,28@a   | not a fault; and there was a felicity in$4$ the flow$0$ of the 
209:265,29@a   | first four words, in$4$ the arrangement of 
209:265,29[B  ]| "My very dear$2#1$ 
209:265,30[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny," 
209:265,30@a   | which$6#1$ she could have looked at for*ever. 
209:265,31['  ]| Having regulated her thoughts and comforted her feelings 
209:265,32['  ]| by$4$ this happy mixture of reason$0$ and weakness, she 
209:265,33['  ]| was able, in$4$ due$2$ time, to$9$ go down$5$ and resume her usual 
209:265,34['  ]| employments near$4$ her aunt $MP#F$Bertram, and pay$1$ her the 
209:265,35['  ]| usual observances without any apparent want$0$ of spirits. 
209:265,36['  ]| Thursday, predestined to$4$ hope$0$ and enjoyment, came; and 
209:265,37['  ]| opened with more kindness to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny than such self-willed, 
209:265,38['  ]| unmanageable days often volunteer, for$3$ soon after$4$ breakfast$0$ 
209:266,01['  ]| a very friendly note$0$ was brought from $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
209:266,02['  ]| to$4$ $MP#Q$William stating that$3$ 
209:266,02@d   | as he found himself obliged to$9$ go to$4$ 
209:266,03@d   | London on$4$ the morrow for$4$ a few days, he could not help$1$ 
209:266,04@d   | trying$1$ to$9$ procure a companion; and therefore hoped that$3$ if 
209:266,05@d   | $MP#Q$William could make$1$ up$5$ his mind$0$ to$9$ leave$1$ Mansfield half 
209:266,06@d   | a day earlier than had been proposed, he would accept 
209:266,07@d   | a place$0$ in$4$ his carriage. 
209:266,07['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford meant to$9$ be in$4$ town 
209:266,08['  ]| by$4$ his uncle's accustomary late dinner-hour, and $MP#Q$William 
209:266,09['  ]| was invited to$9$ dine with him at the $MP#ZF$Admiral's. The 
209:266,10['  ]| proposal was a very pleasant one to$4$ $MP#Q$William himself, who$6#1$ 
209:266,11@q   | enjoyed the idea of travelling post with four horses and 
209:266,12@q   | such a good*humoured agreeable friend; and in$4$ likening 
209:266,13@q   | it to$4$ going up$5$ with dispatches, 
209:266,13['  ]| was saying at once every*thing 
209:266,14['  ]| in$4$ favour$0$ of its happiness and dignity which$6#1$ his 
209:266,15['  ]| imagination could suggest; and $MP#A$Fanny, from a different 
209:266,16['  ]| motive, was exceedingly pleased: 
209:266,16@a   | for$3$ the original plan 
209:266,17@a   | was that$3$ $MP#Q$William should go up$5$ by$4$ the mail from Northampton 
209:266,18@a   | the following night, which$6#1$ would not have allowed 
209:266,19@a   | him an hour's rest$0#2$ before$3$ he must have got into a Portsmouth 
209:266,20@a   | coach; and though this offer$0$ of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
209:266,21@a   | would rob her of many hours of his company, she was too$5#1$ 
209:266,22@a   | happy in$4$ having $MP#Q$William spared from the fatigue$0$ of such 
209:266,23@a   | a journey, to$9$ think of any*thing else. 
209:266,23['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas approved 
209:266,24['  ]| of it for$4$ another reason$0$. 
209:266,24@e   | His nephew's introduction 
209:266,25@e   | to$4$ $MP#ZF$Admiral*Crawford might be of service. The 
209:266,26@e   | $MP#ZF$Admiral he believed had interest$0$. 
209:266,26['  ]| Upon$4$ the whole$0$, it 
209:266,27['  ]| was a very joyous note$0$. $MP#A$Fanny's spirits lived on$4$ it half 
209:266,28['  ]| the morning, deriving some accession of pleasure from its 
209:266,29['  ]| writer being$1$ himself to$9$ go away. 
209:266,30['  ]| As for$4$ the ball$0#2$ so$5#1$ near$5$ at hand$0$, she had too$5#1$ many 
209:266,31['  ]| agitations and fears to$9$ have half the enjoyment in$4$ 
209:266,32['  ]| anticipation which$6#1$ she ought to$9$ have had, or must have 
209:266,33['  ]| been supposed to$9$ have, by$4$ the many young ladies looking 
209:266,34['  ]| forward$5$ to$4$ the same event in$4$ situations more at ease$0$, but 
209:266,35['  ]| under circumstances of less novelty, less interest$0$, less 
209:266,36['  ]| peculiar gratification than would be attributed to$4$ her. 
209:266,37['  ]| $MP#A$Miss*Price, known only by$4$ name$0$ to$4$ half the people invited, 
209:266,38['  ]| was now to$9$ make$1$ her first appearance, and must be 
209:267,01['  ]| regarded as the Queen of the evening. Who$6#2$ could be 
209:267,02['  ]| happier than $MP#A$Miss*Price? But $MP#A$Miss*Price had not been 
209:267,03['  ]| brought up$5$ to$4$ the trade of \coming\ \out$5$\; and had she 
209:267,04['  ]| known in$4$ what light$0$ this ball$0#2$ was, in$4$ general$0$, considered 
209:267,05['  ]| respecting her, it would very much have lessened her 
209:267,06['  ]| comfort$0$ by$4$ increasing the fears she already had, of doing 
209:267,07['  ]| wrong and being$1$ looked at. 
209:267,07@a   | To$9$ dance$1$ without much 
209:267,08@a   | observation or any extraordinary fatigue$0$, to$9$ have strength 
209:267,09@a   | and partners for$4$ about$4$ half the evening, to$9$ dance$1$ a little 
209:267,10@a   | with $MP#B$Edmund, and not a great deal$0$ with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
209:267,11@a   | to$9$ see $MP#Q$William enjoy himself, and be able to$9$ keep away 
209:267,12@a   | from her aunt $MP#J$Norris, 
209:267,12['  ]| was the height of her ambition, 
209:267,13['  ]| and seemed to$9$ comprehend her greatest possibility of 
209:267,14['  ]| happiness. As these were the best of her hopes$0$, they 
209:267,15['  ]| could not always prevail; and in$4$ the course$0$ of a long 
209:267,16['  ]| morning, spent principally with her two aunts, she was 
209:267,17['  ]| often under the influence$0$ of much less sanguine views. 
209:267,18['  ]| $MP#Q$William, determined to$9$ make$1$ this last$2$ day a day of 
209:267,19['  ]| thorough enjoyment, was out$5$ snipe shooting; $MP#B$Edmund, 
209:267,20['  ]| she had too$5#1$ much reason$0$ to$9$ suppose, was at the Parsonage; 
209:267,21['  ]| and left alone to$9$ bear$1$ the worrying of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, who$6#1$ 
209:267,22['  ]| was cross$2$ because the house-keeper would have her own$2$ 
209:267,23['  ]| way with the supper, and whom$6#1$ \she\ could not avoid 
209:267,24['  ]| though the house-keeper might, $MP#A$Fanny was worn down$5$ 
209:267,25['  ]| at last$0$ to$9$ think every*thing an evil belonging to$4$ the ball$0#2$, 
209:267,26['  ]| and when sent off with a parting worry to$9$ dress$1$, moved as 
209:267,27['  ]| languidly towards her own$2$ room, and felt as incapable 
209:267,28['  ]| of happiness as if she had been allowed no$2$ share$0$ in$4$ it. 
209:267,29['  ]| As she walked slowly up*stairs she thought$1$ of yesterday; 
209:267,30['  ]| it had been about$4$ the same hour that$6#1$ she had returned 
209:267,31['  ]| from the Parsonage, and found $MP#B$Edmund in$4$ the east*room. 
209:267,32[A  ]| ~~ "Suppose I were to$9$ find him there again to-day!" 
209:267,32['  ]| said 
209:267,33['  ]| she to$4$ herself in$4$ a fond indulgence of fancy$0$. 
209:267,34[B  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny," 
209:267,34['  ]| said a voice at that$6#2$ moment near$4$ her. 
209:267,35['  ]| Starting and looking up$5$ she saw across$4$ the lobby she 
209:267,36['  ]| had just$5$ reached $MP#B$Edmund himself, standing at the head$0$ 
209:267,37['  ]| of a different staircase. He came towards her. 
209:267,37[B  ]| "You look$1$ 
209:267,38[B  ]| tired and fagged, $MP#A$Fanny. You have been walking too$5#1$ far." 
209:268,01[A  ]| "No$7$, I have not been out$5$ at all." 
209:268,02[B  ]| "Then you have had fatigues$0$ within doors, which$6#1$ are 
209:268,03[B  ]| worse. You had better have gone out$5$." 
209:268,04['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, not liking to$9$ complain, found it easiest to$9$ make$1$ 
209:268,05['  ]| no$2$ answer$0$; 
209:268,05@a   | and though he looked at her with his usual 
209:268,06@a   | kindness, she believed he had soon ceased to$9$ think of her 
209:268,07@a   | countenance. He did not appear in$4$ spirits; something 
209:268,08@a   | unconnected with her was probably amiss. 
209:268,08['  ]| They proceeded 
209:268,09['  ]| up*stairs together, their rooms being$1$ on$4$ the same 
209:268,10['  ]| floor above$5$. 
209:268,11[B  ]| "I come from $MP#M$Dr%*Grant's," 
209:268,11['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund presently. 
209:268,12[B  ]| "You may$1$ guess$1$ my errand there, $MP#A$Fanny." 
209:268,12['  ]| And he 
209:268,13['  ]| looked so$5#1$ conscious, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could think but of one 
209:268,14['  ]| errand, which$6#1$ turned her too$5#1$ sick for$4$ speech. ~~ 
209:268,14[B  ]| "I wished 
209:268,15[B  ]| to$9$ engage $MP#C$Miss*Crawford for$4$ the two first dances$0$," 
209:268,15['  ]| was 
209:268,16['  ]| the explanation that$6#1$ followed, and brought $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ life 
209:268,17['  ]| again, enabling her, as she found she was expected to$9$ 
209:268,18['  ]| speak, to$9$ utter$1$ something like$4$ an inquiry as to$9$ the result$0$. 
209:268,19[B  ]| "Yes," 
209:268,19['  ]| he answered, 
209:268,19[B  ]| "she is engaged to$4$ me; but 
209:268,19['  ]| (with 
209:268,20['  ]| a smile$0$ that$6#1$ did not sit easy) 
209:268,20[B  ]| she says it is to$9$ be the last$2$ 
209:268,21[B  ]| time that$6#1$ she ever will$1$ dance$1$ with me. She is not serious$2$. 
209:268,22[B  ]| I think, I hope$1$, I am sure she is not serious$2$ ~~ but I would 
209:268,23[B  ]| rather not hear it. She never has danced with a clergyman 
209:268,24[B  ]| she says, and she never \will$1$\. For$4$ my own$2$ sake, I 
209:268,25[B  ]| could wish$1$ there had been no$2$ ball$0#2$ just$5$ at ~~ I mean$1$ not 
209:268,26[B  ]| this very week, this very day ~~ to-morrow I leave$1$ home." 
209:268,27['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny struggled for$4$ speech, and said, 
209:268,27[A  ]| "I am very sorry 
209:268,28[A  ]| that$3$ any*thing has occurred to$9$ distress$1$ you. This ought 
209:268,29[A  ]| to$9$ be a day of pleasure. My uncle meant it so$5#2$." 
209:268,30[B  ]| "Oh! yes, yes, and it will$1$ be a day of pleasure. It 
209:268,31[B  ]| will$1$ all end$0$ right$2#1$. I am only vexed for$4$ a moment. In$4$ 
209:268,32[B  ]| fact, it is not that$3$ I consider the ball$0#2$ as ill-timed; ~~ what 
209:268,33[B  ]| does it signify? But, $MP#A$Fanny," ~~ 
209:268,33['  ]| stopping her by$4$ taking 
209:268,34['  ]| her hand$0$, and speaking low and seriously, 
209:268,34[B  ]| "you know 
209:268,35[B  ]| what all this means$0$. You see how it is; and could tell 
209:268,36[B  ]| me, perhaps better than I could tell you, how and why 
209:268,37[B  ]| I am vexed. Let me talk$1$ to$4$ you a little. You are a kind$2$, 
209:268,38[B  ]| kind$2$ listener. I have been pained by$4$ her manner this 
209:269,01[B  ]| morning, and cannot get the better of it. I know her 
209:269,02[B  ]| disposition to$9$ be as sweet and faultless as your own$2$, but 
209:269,03[B  ]| the influence$0$ of her former companions makes her seem, 
209:269,04[B  ]| gives to$4$ her conversation, to$4$ her professed opinions, sometimes 
209:269,05[B  ]| a tinge of wrong. She does not \think\ evil, but she 
209:269,06[B  ]| speaks it ~~ speaks it in$4$ playfulness ~~ and though I know 
209:269,07[B  ]| it to$9$ be playfulness, it grieves me to$4$ the soul." 
209:269,08[A  ]| "The effect$0$ of education," 
209:269,08['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny gently. 
209:269,09['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund could not but agree to$4$ it. 
209:269,09[B  ]| "Yes, that$6#2$ uncle 
209:269,10[B  ]| and aunt! They have injured the finest mind$0$! ~~ for$3$ 
209:269,11[B  ]| sometimes, $MP#A$Fanny, I own$1$ to$4$ you, it does appear more than 
209:269,12[B  ]| manner; it appears as if the mind$0$ itself was tainted." 
209:269,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny imagined this to$9$ be an appeal to$4$ her judgment, 
209:269,14['  ]| and therefore, after$4$ a moment's consideration, said, 
209:269,14[A  ]| "If 
209:269,15[A  ]| you only want$1$ me as a listener, cousin, I will$1$ be as useful 
209:269,16[A  ]| as I can; but I am not qualified for$4$ an adviser. Do not 
209:269,17[A  ]| ask advice of \me\. I am not competent." 
209:269,18[B  ]| "You are right$2#1$, $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ protest against such an 
209:269,19[B  ]| office, but you need$1$ not be afraid. It is a subject$0$ on$4$ 
209:269,20[B  ]| which$6#1$ I should never ask advice. It is the sort of subject$0$ on$4$ 
209:269,21[B  ]| which$6#1$ it had better never be asked; and few I imagine 
209:269,22[B  ]| do ask it, but when they want$1$ to$9$ be influenced against 
209:269,23[B  ]| their conscience. I only want$1$ to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$ you." 
209:269,24[A  ]| "One thing more. Excuse$1$ the liberty ~~ but take care$0$ 
209:269,25[A  ]| \how\ you talk$1$ to$4$ me. Do not tell me any*thing now, 
209:269,26[A  ]| which$6#1$ hereafter you may$1$ be sorry for$4$. The time may$1$ 
209:269,27[A  ]| come ~~" 
209:269,28['  ]| The colour rushed into her cheeks as she spoke. 
209:269,29[B  ]| "Dearest $MP#A$Fanny!" 
209:269,29['  ]| cried $MP#B$Edmund, pressing her hand$0$ 
209:269,30['  ]| to$4$ his lips, with almost as much warmth as if it had been 
209:269,31['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's, 
209:269,31[B  ]| "you are all considerate thought$0$! ~~ 
209:269,32[B  ]| But it is unnecessary here. The time will$1$ never come. 
209:269,33[B  ]| No$2$ such time as you allude to$4$ will$1$ ever come. I begin to$9$ 
209:269,34[B  ]| think it most improbable; the chances grow less and less. 
209:269,35[B  ]| And even$5$ if it should ~~ there will$1$ be nothing to$9$ be remembered 
209:269,36[B  ]| by$4$ either you or me, that$6#1$ we need$1$ be afraid of, for$3$ 
209:269,37[B  ]| I can never be ashamed of my own$2$ scruples; and if they 
209:269,38[B  ]| are removed, it must be by$4$ changes$0$ that$6#1$ will$1$ only raise 
209:270,01[B  ]| her character the more by$4$ the recollection of the faults 
209:270,02[B  ]| she once had. You are the only being$0$ upon$4$ earth to$4$ 
209:270,03[B  ]| whom$6#1$ I should say what I have said; but you have 
209:270,04[B  ]| always known my opinion of her; you can bear$1$ me 
209:270,05[B  ]| witness$0$, $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ I have never been blinded. How 
209:270,06[B  ]| many a time have we talked over her little errors! You 
209:270,07[B  ]| need$1$ not fear$1$ me. I have almost given up$5$ every serious$2$ 
209:270,08[B  ]| idea of her; but I must be a blockhead indeed if, whatever 
209:270,09[B  ]| befell me, I could think of your kindness and sympathy 
209:270,10[B  ]| without the sincerest gratitude." 
209:270,11['  ]| He had said enough to$9$ shake$1$ the experience$0$ of eighteen. 
209:270,12['  ]| He had said enough to$9$ give $MP#A$Fanny some happier feelings 
209:270,13['  ]| than she had lately known, and with a brighter look$0$, she 
209:270,14['  ]| answered, 
209:270,14[A  ]| "Yes, cousin, I am convinced that$3$ \you\ would 
209:270,15[A  ]| be incapable of any*thing else, though perhaps some might 
209:270,16[A  ]| not. I cannot be afraid of hearing any*thing you wish$1$ 
209:270,17[A  ]| to$9$ say. Do not check$1$ yourself. Tell me whatever you 
209:270,18[A  ]| like$1$." 
209:270,19['  ]| They were now on$4$ the second$2$ floor, and the appearance 
209:270,20['  ]| of a housemaid prevented any further conversation. For$4$ 
209:270,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's present$2$ comfort$0$ it was concluded perhaps at the 
209:270,22['  ]| happiest moment; had he been able to$9$ talk$1$ another five 
209:270,23['  ]| minutes, there is no$2$ saying that$3$ he might not have talked 
209:270,24['  ]| away all $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's faults and his own$2$ despondence. 
209:270,25['  ]| But as it was, they parted with looks$0$ on$4$ his side$0$ 
209:270,26['  ]| of grateful affection, and with some very precious sensations 
209:270,27['  ]| on$4$ her's. 
209:270,27@a   | She had felt nothing like$4$ it for$4$ hours. 
209:270,28@a   | Since the first joy from $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's note$0$ to$4$ $MP#Q$William 
209:270,29@a   | had worn away, she had been in$4$ a state$0$ absolutely their 
209:270,30@a   | reverse; there had been no$2$ comfort$0$ around$5$, no$2$ hope$0$ 
209:270,31@a   | within her. Now, every*thing was smiling. $MP#Q$William's 
209:270,32@a   | good fortune returned again upon$4$ her mind$0$, and seemed 
209:270,33@a   | of greater value$0$ than at first. The ball$0#2$ too$5#2$ ~~ such an 
209:270,34@a   | evening of pleasure before$4$ her! It was now a real animation! 
209:270,35['  ]| and she began to$9$ dress$1$ for$4$ it with much of the 
209:270,36['  ]| happy flutter which$6#1$ belongs to$4$ a ball$0#2$. 
209:270,36@a   | All went well$5$ ~~ 
209:270,37@a   | she did not dislike$1$ her own$2$ looks$0$; and when she came 
209:270,38@a   | to$4$ the necklaces again, her good fortune seemed complete$2$, 
209:271,01@a   | for$3$ upon$4$ trial the one given her by$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
209:271,02@a   | would by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ go through$4$ the ring$0$ of the cross$0$. 
209:271,03@a   | She had, to$9$ oblige $MP#B$Edmund, resolved to$9$ wear it ~~ but it 
209:271,04@a   | was too$5#1$ large for$4$ the purpose. His therefore must be 
209:271,05@a   | worn; and having, with delightful feelings, joined the 
209:271,06@a   | chain and the cross$0$, those memorials of the two most 
209:271,07@a   | beloved of her heart, those dearest tokens so$5#1$ formed for$4$ 
209:271,08@a   | each other by$4$ every*thing real and imaginary ~~ and put 
209:271,09@a   | them round$4$ her neck, and seen and felt how full of $MP#Q$William 
209:271,10@a   | and $MP#B$Edmund they were, she was able, without an effort, 
209:271,11@a   | to$9$ resolve$1$ on$4$ wearing $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's necklace too$5#2$. She 
209:271,12@a   | acknowledged it to$9$ be right$2#1$. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford had a claim$0$; 
209:271,13@a   | and when it was no$2$ longer to$9$ encroach on$4$, to$9$ interfere 
209:271,14@a   | with the stronger claims, the truer kindness of another, 
209:271,15@a   | she could do her justice even$5$ with pleasure to$4$ herself. 
209:271,16@a   | The necklace really looked very well$5$; 
209:271,16['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny left her 
209:271,17['  ]| room at last$0$, comfortably satisfied with herself and all 
209:271,18['  ]| about$4$ her. 
209:271,19['  ]| Her aunt $MP#F$Bertram had recollected her on$4$ this occasion$0$, 
209:271,20['  ]| with an unusual degree of wakefulness. It had really 
209:271,21['  ]| occurred to$4$ her, unprompted, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny, preparing for$4$ 
209:271,22['  ]| a ball$0#2$, might be glad of better help$0$ than the upper housemaid's, 
209:271,23['  ]| and when dressed herself, she actually sent her 
209:271,24['  ]| own$2$ maid to$9$ assist her; too$5#1$ late of course$8$ to$9$ be of any use$0$. 
209:271,25['  ]| $MP#ZZL$Mrs%*Chapman had just$5$ reached the attic floor, when 
209:271,25['  ]| $MP#A$Miss*Price 
209:271,26['  ]| came out$5$ of her room completely dressed, and only 
209:271,27['  ]| civilities were necessary ~~ but $MP#A$Fanny felt her aunt's attention 
209:271,28['  ]| almost as much as $MP#F$Lady*Bertram or $MP#ZZL$Mrs%*Chapman 
209:271,29['  ]| could do themselves. 
210:272,01['  ]| Her uncle and both her aunts were in$4$ the drawing-room 
210:272,02['  ]| when $MP#A$Fanny went down$5$. To$4$ the former 
210:272,02@e   | she was an 
210:272,03@e   | interesting object$0$, and he saw with pleasure the general$2$ 
210:272,04@e   | elegance of her appearance and her being$1$ in$4$ remarkably 
210:272,05@e   | good looks$0$. 
210:272,05['  ]| The neatness and propriety of her dress$0$ was 
210:272,06['  ]| all that$6#1$ he would allow himself to$9$ commend in$4$ her presence, 
210:272,07['  ]| but upon$4$ her leaving the room again soon afterwards, he 
210:272,08['  ]| spoke of her beauty with very decided praise$0$. 
210:272,09[F  ]| "Yes," 
210:272,09['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
210:272,09[F  ]| "she looks$1$ very well$5$. I 
210:272,10[F  ]| sent $MP#ZZL$Chapman to$4$ her." 
210:272,11[J  ]| "Look$1$ well$5$! Oh yes," 
210:272,11['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
210:272,11[J  ]| "she has 
210:272,12[J  ]| good reason$0$ to$9$ look$1$ well$5$ with all her advantages: brought 
210:272,13[J  ]| up$5$ in$4$ this family as she has been, with all the benefit of 
210:272,14[J  ]| her cousins' manners before$4$ her. Only think, my dear$2#1$ 
210:272,15[J  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, what extraordinary advantages you and I 
210:272,16[J  ]| have been the means$0$ of giving her. The very gown you 
210:272,17[J  ]| have been taking notice$0$ of, is your own$2$ generous present$0#2$ 
210:272,18[J  ]| to$4$ her when dear$2#1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth married. What would 
210:272,19[J  ]| she have been if we had not taken her by$4$ the hand$0$?" 
210:272,20['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas said no$2$ more; but when they sat down$5$ to$4$ 
210:272,21['  ]| table 
210:272,21@e   | the eyes of the two young men assured him, that$3$ 
210:272,22@e   | the subject$0$ might be gently touched again when the ladies 
210:272,23@e   | withdrew, with more success. 
210:272,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny saw that$3$ she was 
210:272,24['  ]| approved; and the consciousness of looking well$5$, made 
210:272,25['  ]| her look$1$ still$5$ better. From a variety of causes she was 
210:272,26['  ]| happy, and she was soon made still$5$ happier; for$3$ in$4$ following 
210:272,27['  ]| her aunts out$5$ of the room, $MP#B$Edmund, who$6#1$ was 
210:272,28['  ]| holding open$2$ the door, said as she passed him, 
210:272,28[B  ]| "You must 
210:272,29[B  ]| dance$1$ with me, $MP#A$Fanny; you must keep two dances$0$ for$4$ 
210:272,30[B  ]| me; any two that$6#1$ you like$1$, except the first." 
210:272,30['  ]| She had 
210:272,31['  ]| nothing more to$9$ wish$1$ for$4$. She had hardly ever been in$4$ 
210:272,32['  ]| a state$0$ so$5#1$ nearly approaching high spirits in$4$ her life. 
210:272,32@a   | Her 
210:272,33@a   | cousins' former gaiety on$4$ the day of a ball$0#2$ was no$2$ longer 
210:273,01@a   | surprizing to$4$ her; she felt it to$9$ be indeed very charming, 
210:273,02['  ]| and was actually practising her steps about$4$ the drawing-room 
210:273,03['  ]| as long as she could be safe from the notice$0$ of her 
210:273,04['  ]| aunt $MP#J$Norris, who$6#1$ was entirely taken up$5$ at first in$4$ fresh 
210:273,05['  ]| arranging and injuring the noble fire$0$ which$6#1$ the butler had 
210:273,06['  ]| prepared. 
210:273,07['  ]| Half an hour followed, that$6#1$ would have been at least 
210:273,08['  ]| languid under any other circumstances, but $MP#A$Fanny's happiness 
210:273,09['  ]| still$5$ prevailed. 
210:273,09@a   | It was but to$9$ think of her conversation 
210:273,10@a   | with $MP#B$Edmund; and what was the restlessness 
210:273,11@a   | of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris? What were the yawns of $MP#F$Lady*Bertram? 
210:273,12@a   | The gentlemen joined them; and soon after$5$ began the 
210:273,13@a   | sweet expectation of a carriage, when a general$2$ spirit of 
210:273,14@a   | ease$0$ and enjoyment seemed diffused, and they all stood 
210:273,15@a   | about$5$ and talked and laughed, and every moment had its 
210:273,16@a   | pleasure and its hope$0$. 
210:273,16['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny felt that$3$ 
210:273,16@a   | there must be 
210:273,17@a   | a struggle$0$ in$4$ $MP#B$Edmund's cheerfulness, but it was delightful 
210:273,18@a   | to$9$ see the effort so$5#1$ successfully made. 
210:273,19['  ]| When the carriages were really heard, when the guests 
210:273,20['  ]| began really to$9$ assemble, her own$2$ gaiety of heart was 
210:273,21['  ]| much subdued; the sight of so$5#1$ many strangers threw 
210:273,22['  ]| her back$5$ into herself; and besides the gravity and formality 
210:273,23['  ]| of the first great circle, which$6#1$ the manners of 
210:273,24['  ]| neither $MP#E$Sir*Thomas nor $MP#F$Lady*Bertram were of a kind$0$ to$9$ 
210:273,25['  ]| do away, she found herself occasionally called on$5$ to$9$ 
210:273,26['  ]| endure something worse. She was introduced here and 
210:273,27['  ]| there by$4$ her uncle, and forced to$9$ be spoken to$5$, and to$9$ 
210:273,28['  ]| curtsey, and speak again. This was a hard duty, and 
210:273,29['  ]| she was never summoned to$4$ it, without looking at $MP#Q$William, 
210:273,30['  ]| as he walked about$5$ at his ease$0$ in$4$ the back*ground of the 
210:273,31['  ]| scene, and longing to$9$ be with him. 
210:273,32['  ]| The entrance of the $MP#M1$Grants and $MP#D1$Crawfords was a 
210:273,33['  ]| favourable epoch. The stiffness of the meeting soon gave 
210:273,34['  ]| way before$4$ their popular manners and more diffused 
210:273,35['  ]| intimacies: ~~ little groups were formed and every*body 
210:273,36['  ]| grew comfortable. $MP#A$Fanny felt the advantage; and, 
210:273,37['  ]| drawing back$5$ from the toils of civility, would have been 
210:273,38['  ]| again most happy, could she have kept her eyes from 
210:274,01['  ]| wandering between $MP#B$Edmund and $MP#C$Mary*Crawford. 
210:274,01@a   | \She\ 
210:274,02@a   | looked all loveliness ~~ and what might not be the end$0$ of it? 
210:274,03['  ]| Her own$2$ musings were brought to$4$ an end$0$ on$4$ perceiving 
210:274,04['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford before$4$ her, and her thoughts were put into 
210:274,05['  ]| another channel by$4$ his engaging her almost instantly for$4$ 
210:274,06['  ]| the two first dances$0$. Her happiness on$4$ this occasion$0$ 
210:274,07['  ]| was very much a`-la-mortal, finely chequered. To$9$ be 
210:274,08['  ]| secure$2$ of a partner at first, was a most essential good ~~ 
210:274,09['  ]| for$3$ the moment of beginning was now growing seriously 
210:274,10['  ]| near$5$, and she so$5#1$ little understood her own$2$ claims as to$9$ 
210:274,11['  ]| think, that$3$ 
210:274,11@a   | if $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford had not asked her, she must 
210:274,12@a   | have been the last$0$ to$9$ be sought after$5$, and should have 
210:274,13@a   | received a partner only through$4$ a series of inquiry, and 
210:274,14@a   | bustle$0$, and interference which$6#1$ would have been terrible; 
210:274,15@a   | but at the same time there was a pointedness in$4$ his manner 
210:274,16@a   | of asking her, which$6#1$ she did not like$1$, and she saw his eye 
210:274,17@a   | glancing for$4$ a moment at her necklace ~~ with a smile$0$ ~~ 
210:274,18@a   | she thought$1$ there was a smile$0$ ~~ which$6#1$ made her blush$1$ 
210:274,19@a   | and feel wretched. 
210:274,19['  ]| And though there was no$2$ second$2$ 
210:274,20['  ]| glance$0$ to$9$ disturb her, though his object$0$ seemed then to$9$ 
210:274,21['  ]| be only quietly agreeable, she could not get the better 
210:274,22['  ]| of her embarrassment, heightened as it was by$4$ the idea 
210:274,23['  ]| of his perceiving it, and had no$2$ composure till he turned 
210:274,24['  ]| away to$4$ some*one else. Then she could gradually rise$1$ 
210:274,25['  ]| up$5$ to$4$ the genuine satisfaction of having a partner, 
210:274,26['  ]| a voluntary partner secured against the dancing began. 
210:274,27['  ]| When the company were moving into the ball-room she 
210:274,28['  ]| found herself for$4$ the first time near$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, whose$6#1$ 
210:274,29['  ]| eyes and smiles were immediately and more unequivocally 
210:274,30['  ]| directed as her brother's had been, and who$6#1$ was beginning 
210:274,31['  ]| to$9$ speak on$4$ the subject$0$, when $MP#A$Fanny, anxious to$9$ get the 
210:274,32['  ]| story over, hastened to$9$ give the explanation of the second$2$ 
210:274,33['  ]| necklace ~~ the real chain. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford listened; and 
210:274,34['  ]| all her intended compliments and insinuations to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny 
210:274,35['  ]| were forgotten; she felt only one thing; and her eyes, 
210:274,36['  ]| bright as they had been before$5$, shewing they could yet 
210:274,37['  ]| be brighter, she exclaimed with eager pleasure, 
210:274,37[C  ]| "Did he? 
210:274,38[C  ]| Did $MP#B$Edmund? That$6#2$ was like$4$ himself. No$2$ other man 
210:275,01[C  ]| would have thought$1$ of it. I honour$1$ him beyond$4$ expression." 
210:275,02['  ]| And she looked around$5$ as if longing to$9$ tell him 
210:275,03['  ]| so$5#2$. He was not near$5$, he was attending a party of ladies 
210:275,04['  ]| out$5$ of the room; and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant coming up$5$ to$4$ the two 
210:275,05['  ]| girls and taking an arm$0$ of each, they followed with the 
210:275,06['  ]| rest$0#1$. 
210:275,07['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's heart sunk, but there was no$2$ leisure for$4$ thinking 
210:275,08['  ]| long even$5$ of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's feelings. 
210:275,08@a   | They were in$4$ 
210:275,09@a   | the ball-room, the violins were playing, and her mind$0$ was 
210:275,10@a   | in$4$ a flutter that$6#1$ forbad its fixing on$4$ any*thing serious$2$. 
210:275,11@a   | She must watch$1$ the general$2$ arrangements and see how 
210:275,12@a   | every*thing was done. 
210:275,13['  ]| In$4$ a few minutes $MP#E$Sir*Thomas came to$4$ her, and asked 
210:275,14['  ]| if she were engaged; and the 
210:275,14[A  ]| "Yes, sir, to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford," 
210:275,15['  ]| was exactly what he had intended to$9$ hear. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
210:275,16['  ]| was not far off; $MP#E$Sir*Thomas brought him to$4$ her, saying 
210:275,17['  ]| something which$6#1$ discovered to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ 
210:275,17@a   | \she\ was to$9$ 
210:275,18@a   | lead$1$ the way and open$1$ the ball$0#2$; an idea that$6#1$ had never 
210:275,19@a   | occurred to$4$ her before$5$. 
210:275,19['  ]| Whenever she had thought$1$ on$4$ 
210:275,20['  ]| the minutia*e of the evening, 
210:275,20@a   | it had been as a matter of 
210:275,21@a   | course$0$ that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund would begin with $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
210:275,22@a   | and the impression was so$5#1$ strong, that$3$ though \her\ \uncle\ 
210:275,23@a   | spoke the contrary, she could not help$1$ an exclamation 
210:275,24@a   | of surprize$0$, a hint$0$ of her unfitness, an entreaty even$5$ to$9$ be 
210:275,25@a   | excused. To$9$ be urging her opinion against $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's, 
210:275,26@a   | was a proof of the extremity of the case, but such was her 
210:275,27@a   | horror at the first suggestion, that$3$ she could actually look$1$ 
210:275,28@a   | him in$4$ the face$0$ and say she hoped it might be settled 
210:275,29@a   | otherwise; in$4$ vain however; ~~ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas smiled, tried 
210:275,30@a   | to$9$ encourage her, and then looked too$5#1$ serious$2$ and said 
210:275,31@a   | too$5#1$ decidedly ~~ 
210:275,31[E  ]| "It must be so$5#2$, my dear$2#1$," 
210:275,31@a   | for$4$ her to$9$ 
210:275,32@a   | hazard$1$ another word; and she found herself the next 
210:275,33@a   | moment conducted by$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford to$4$ the top of the 
210:275,34@a   | room, and standing there to$9$ be joined by$4$ the rest$0#1$ of the 
210:275,35@a   | dancers, couple after$4$ couple as they were formed. 
210:275,36@a   | She could hardly believe it. To$9$ be placed above$4$ so$5#1$ 
210:275,37@a   | many elegant young women! The distinction was too$5#1$ 
210:275,38@a   | great. It was treating her like$4$ her cousins! 
210:275,38['  ]| And her 
210:276,01['  ]| thoughts flew to$4$ those absent cousins with most unfeigned 
210:276,02['  ]| and truly tender$2$ 
210:276,02@a   | regret$0$, that$3$ they were not at home to$9$ 
210:276,03@a   | take their own$2$ place$0$ in$4$ the room, and have their share$0$ of 
210:276,04@a   | a pleasure which$6#1$ would have been so$5#1$ very delightful to$4$ 
210:276,05@a   | them. So$5#1$ often as she had heard them wish$1$ for$4$ a ball$0#2$ at 
210:276,06@a   | home as the greatest of all felicities! And to$9$ have them 
210:276,07@a   | away when it was given ~~ and for$4$ \her\ to$9$ be opening the 
210:276,08@a   | ball$0#2$ ~~ and with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford too$5#2$! She hoped they would 
210:276,09@a   | not envy$1$ her that$6#2$ distinction \now\; but when she looked 
210:276,10@a   | back$5$ to$4$ the state$0$ of things in$4$ the autumn, to$4$ what they 
210:276,11@a   | had all been to$4$ each other when once dancing in$4$ that$6#2$ 
210:276,12@a   | house before$5$, the present$2$ arrangement was almost more 
210:276,13@a   | than she could understand herself. 
210:276,14['  ]| The ball$0#2$ began. It was rather honour$0$ than happiness 
210:276,15['  ]| to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, for$4$ the first dance$0$ at least; her partner was in$4$ 
210:276,16['  ]| excellent spirits and tried to$9$ impart them to$4$ her, but she 
210:276,17['  ]| was a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ much frightened to$9$ have any enjoyment, 
210:276,18['  ]| till she could suppose herself no$2$ longer looked at. 
210:276,19['  ]| Young, pretty$2$, and gentle, however, she had no$2$ awkwardnesses 
210:276,20['  ]| that$6#1$ were not as good as graces, and there were few 
210:276,21['  ]| persons present$5$ that$6#1$ were not disposed to$9$ praise$1$ her. 
210:276,22['  ]| She was attractive, she was modest, she was $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
210:276,23['  ]| niece, and she was soon said to$9$ be admired by$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
210:276,24['  ]| It was enough to$9$ give her general$2$ favour$0$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
210:276,25['  ]| himself was watching her progress down$4$ the 
210:276,26['  ]| dance$0$ with much complacency; 
210:276,26@e   | he was proud of his 
210:276,27@e   | niece, and without attributing all her personal beauty, 
210:276,28@e   | as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris seemed to$9$ do, to$4$ her transplantation to$4$ 
210:276,29@e   | Mansfield, he was pleased with himself for$4$ having supplied 
210:276,30@e   | every*thing else; ~~ education and manners she owed 
210:276,31@e   | to$4$ him. 
210:276,32['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford saw much of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's thoughts as he 
210:276,33['  ]| stood, and having, in$4$ spite$8$ of all his wrongs towards her, 
210:276,34['  ]| a general$2$ prevailing desire$0$ of recommending herself to$4$ 
210:276,35['  ]| him, took an opportunity of stepping aside to$9$ say something 
210:276,36['  ]| agreeable of $MP#A$Fanny. Her praise$0$ was warm$2$, 
210:276,36@c   | and he 
210:276,37@c   | received it as she could wish$1$, joining in$4$ it as far as discretion, 
210:276,38@c   | and politeness, and slowness of speech would 
210:277,01@c   | allow, and certainly appearing to$4$ greater advantage on$4$ the 
210:277,02@c   | subject$0$, than his lady did, soon afterwards, 
210:277,02['  ]| when $MP#C$Mary, 
210:277,03['  ]| perceiving her on$4$ a sofa very near$5$, turned round$5$ before$3$ 
210:277,04['  ]| she began to$9$ dance$1$, to$9$ compliment$1$ her on$4$ $MP#A$Miss*Price's 
210:277,05['  ]| looks$0$. 
210:277,06[F  ]| "Yes, she does look$1$ very well$5$," 
210:277,06['  ]| was $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
210:277,07['  ]| placid reply$0$. 
210:277,07[F  ]| "$MP#ZZL$Chapman helped her dress$0$. I sent $MP#ZZL$Chapman 
210:277,08[F  ]| to$4$ her." 
210:277,08['  ]| Not but that$3$ she was really pleased to$9$ have 
210:277,09['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny admired; but she was so$5#1$ much more struck with 
210:277,10['  ]| her own$2$ kindness in$4$ sending $MP#ZZL$Chapman to$4$ her, that$3$ she 
210:277,11['  ]| could not get it out$5$ of her head$0$. 
210:277,12['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford knew $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris too$5#1$ well$5$ to$9$ think of 
210:277,13['  ]| gratifying \her\ by$4$ commendation of $MP#A$Fanny; to$4$ her it was, 
210:277,14['  ]| as the occasion$0$ offered, ~~ 
210:277,14[C  ]| "Ah! ma'am, how much we 
210:277,15[C  ]| want$1$ dear$2#1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth and $MP#I$Julia to-night!" 
210:277,15['  ]| and 
210:277,16['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris paid her with as many smiles and courteous 
210:277,17['  ]| words as she had time for$4$, amid so$5#1$ much occupation as she 
210:277,18['  ]| found for$4$ herself, in$4$ making up$5$ card-tables, giving hints 
210:277,19['  ]| to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, and trying$1$ to$9$ move$1$ all the chaperons to$4$ 
210:277,20['  ]| a better part$0$ of the room. 
210:277,21['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford blundered most towards $MP#A$Fanny herself, 
210:277,22['  ]| in$4$ her intentions to$9$ please. 
210:277,22@c   | She meant to$9$ be giving her 
210:277,23@c   | little heart a happy flutter, and filling her with sensations 
210:277,24@c   | of delightful self-consequence; 
210:277,24['  ]| and misinterpreting $MP#A$Fanny's 
210:277,25['  ]| blushes, still$5$ thought$1$ she must be doing so$5#2$ ~~ when she 
210:277,26['  ]| went to$4$ her after$4$ the two first dances$0$ and said, with a 
210:277,27['  ]| significant look$0$, 
210:277,27[C  ]| "perhaps \you\ can tell me why my brother 
210:277,28[C  ]| goes to$4$ town to-morrow. He says, he has business there, 
210:277,29[C  ]| but will$1$ not tell me what. The first time he ever denied 
210:277,30[C  ]| me his confidence! But this is what we all come to$4$. 
210:277,31[C  ]| All are supplanted sooner or later. Now, I must apply 
210:277,32[C  ]| to$4$ you for$4$ information. Pray what is $MP#D$Henry going for$4$?" 
210:277,33['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny protested her ignorance as steadily as her embarrassment 
210:277,34['  ]| allowed. 
210:277,35[C  ]| "Well$7$, then," 
210:277,35['  ]| replied $MP#C$Miss*Crawford laughing, 
210:277,35[C  ]| "I must 
210:277,36[C  ]| suppose it to$9$ be purely for$4$ the pleasure of conveying your 
210:277,37[C  ]| brother and talking of you by$4$ the way." 
210:277,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was confused, but it was the confusion of discontent; 
210:278,01['  ]| while$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford wondered she did not smile$1$, 
210:278,02['  ]| and thought$1$ her over-anxious, or thought$1$ her odd, or 
210:278,03['  ]| thought$1$ her any*thing rather than insensible of pleasure 
210:278,04['  ]| in$4$ $MP#D$Henry's attentions. $MP#A$Fanny had a good deal$0$ of enjoyment 
210:278,05['  ]| in$4$ the course$0$ of the evening ~~ but $MP#D$Henry's attentions 
210:278,06['  ]| had very little to$9$ do with it. 
210:278,06@a   | She would much rather 
210:278,07@a   | \not\ have been asked by$4$ him again so$5#1$ very soon, and she 
210:278,08@a   | wished she had not been obliged to$9$ suspect that$3$ his previous 
210:278,09@a   | inquiries of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, about$4$ the supper-hour, 
210:278,10@a   | were all for$4$ the sake of securing her at that$6#2$ part$0$ of the 
210:278,11@a   | evening. But it was not to$9$ be avoided; he made her 
210:278,12@a   | feel that$3$ she was the object$0$ of all; though she could not 
210:278,13@a   | say that$3$ it was unpleasantly done, that$3$ there was indelicacy 
210:278,14@a   | or ostentation in$4$ his manner ~~ and sometimes, when 
210:278,15@a   | he talked of $MP#Q$William, he was really not un-agreeable, and 
210:278,16@a   | shewed even$5$ a warmth of heart which$6#1$ did him credit$0$. 
210:278,17@a   | But still$5$ his attentions made no$2$ part$0$ of her satisfaction. 
210:278,18@a   | She was happy whenever she looked at $MP#Q$William, and saw 
210:278,19@a   | how perfectly he was enjoying himself, in$4$ every five 
210:278,20@a   | minutes that$3$ she could walk$1$ about$5$ with him and hear his 
210:278,21@a   | account$0$ of his partners; she was happy in$4$ knowing herself 
210:278,22@a   | admired, and she was happy in$4$ having the two dances$0$ 
210:278,23@a   | with $MP#B$Edmund still$5$ to$9$ look$1$ forward$5$ to$4$, during the greatest 
210:278,24@a   | part$0$ of the evening, her hand$0$ being$1$ so$5#1$ eagerly sought 
210:278,25@a   | after$5$, that$3$ her indefinite engagement with \him\ was in$4$ 
210:278,26@a   | continual perspective. She was happy even$5$ when they 
210:278,27@a   | did take place$0$; but not from any flow$0$ of spirits on$4$ his side$0$, 
210:278,28@a   | or any such expressions of tender$2$ gallantry as had blessed 
210:278,29@a   | the morning. His mind$0$ was fagged, and her happiness 
210:278,30@a   | sprung from being$1$ the friend with whom$6#1$ it could find 
210:278,31@a   | repose. 
210:278,31[B  ]| "I am worn out$5$ with civility," 
210:278,31['  ]| said he. 
210:278,31[B  ]| "I have 
210:278,32[B  ]| been talking incessantly all night, and with nothing to$9$ say. 
210:278,33[B  ]| But with \you\, $MP#A$Fanny, there may$1$ be peace. You will$1$ not 
210:278,34[B  ]| want$1$ to$9$ be talked to$5$. Let us have the luxury of silence$0$." 
210:278,35['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny would hardly even$5$ speak her agreement. 
210:278,35@a   | A 
210:278,36@a   | weariness arising probably, in$4$ great measure$0$, from the 
210:278,37@a   | same feelings which$6#1$ he had acknowledged in$4$ the morning, 
210:278,38@a   | was peculiarly to$9$ be respected, 
210:278,38['  ]| and they went down$4$ their 
210:279,01['  ]| two dances$0$ together with such sober tranquillity as might 
210:279,02['  ]| satisfy any looker-on, that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had been bringing 
210:279,03['  ]| up$5$ no$2$ wife for$4$ his younger son. 
210:279,04['  ]| The evening had afforded $MP#B$Edmund little pleasure. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
210:279,05['  ]| had been in$4$ gay spirits when they first danced 
210:279,06['  ]| together, but it was not her gaiety that$6#1$ could do him good; 
210:279,07['  ]| it rather sank than raised his comfort$0$; and afterwards 
210:279,08['  ]| ~~ for$3$ he found himself still$5$ impelled to$9$ seek her again, 
210:279,09['  ]| she had absolutely pained him by$4$ her manner of speaking 
210:279,10['  ]| of the profession$0#2$ to$4$ which$6#1$ he was now on$4$ the point$0$ of 
210:279,11['  ]| belonging. They had talked ~~ and they had been silent 
210:279,12['  ]| ~~ he had reasoned ~~ she had ridiculed ~~ and they had 
210:279,13['  ]| parted at last$0$ with mutual vexation. $MP#A$Fanny, not able 
210:279,14['  ]| to$9$ refrain entirely from observing them, had seen enough 
210:279,15['  ]| to$9$ be tolerably satisfied. 
210:279,15@a   | It was barbarous to$9$ be happy 
210:279,16@a   | when $MP#B$Edmund was suffering. Yet some happiness must 
210:279,17@a   | and would arise, from the very conviction, that$3$ he did 
210:279,18@a   | suffer. 
210:279,19@a   | When her two dances$0$ with him were over, her inclination 
210:279,20@a   | and strength for$4$ more were pretty$5$ well$5$ at an end$0$; 
210:279,21['  ]| and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas having seen her rather walk$1$ than dance$1$ 
210:279,22['  ]| down$4$ the shortening set$0$, breathless and with her hand$0$ at 
210:279,23['  ]| her side$0$, gave his orders$0#1$ for$4$ her sitting down$5$ entirely. 
210:279,24['  ]| From that$6#2$ time, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford sat down$5$ likewise. 
210:279,25[Q  ]| "Poor $MP#A$Fanny!" 
210:279,25['  ]| cried $MP#Q$William, coming for$4$ a moment 
210:279,26['  ]| to$9$ visit$1$ her and working away his partner's fan as if for$4$ 
210:279,27['  ]| life: ~~ 
210:279,27[Q  ]| "how soon she is knocked up$5$! Why, the sport$0$ is 
210:279,28[Q  ]| but just$5$ begun. I hope$1$ we shall keep it up$5$ these two 
210:279,29[Q  ]| hours. How can you be tired so$5#1$ soon?" 
210:279,30[E  ]| "So$5#1$ soon! my good friend," 
210:279,30['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, producing 
210:279,31['  ]| his watch$0$ with all necessary caution$0$ ~~ 
210:279,31[E  ]| "it is three 
210:279,32[E  ]| o'clock, and your sister is not used to$4$ these sort of hours." 
210:279,33[Q  ]| "Well$7$ then, $MP#A$Fanny, you shall not get up$5$ to-morrow 
210:279,34[Q  ]| before$3$ I go. Sleep$1$ as long as you can and never mind$0$ me." 
210:279,35[A  ]| "Oh! $MP#Q$William." 
210:279,36[E  ]| "What! Did she think of being$1$ up$5$ before$3$ you set$1$ off?" 
210:279,37[A  ]| "Oh! yes, sir," 
210:279,37['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, rising eagerly from her 
210:279,38['  ]| seat to$9$ be nearer her uncle, 
210:279,38[A  ]| "I must get up$5$ and breakfast$1$ 
210:280,01[A  ]| with him. It will$1$ be the last$2$ time you know, the last$2$ 
210:280,02[A  ]| morning." 
210:280,03[E  ]| "You had better not. ~~ He is to$9$ have breakfasted and 
210:280,04[E  ]| be gone by$4$ half past$4$ nine. ~~ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, I think you call$1$ 
210:280,05[E  ]| for$4$ him at half past$4$ nine?" 
210:280,06['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was too$5#1$ urgent, however, and had too$5#1$ many tears 
210:280,07['  ]| in$4$ her eyes for$4$ denial; and it ended in$4$ a gracious, 
210:280,07[E  ]| "Well$7$, 
210:280,08[E  ]| well$7$," 
210:280,08['  ]| which$6#1$ was permission. 
210:280,09[D  ]| "Yes, half past$4$ nine," 
210:280,09['  ]| said $MP#D$Crawford to$4$ $MP#Q$William, as the 
210:280,10['  ]| latter was leaving them, 
210:280,10[D  ]| "and I shall be punctual, for$3$ 
210:280,11[D  ]| there will$1$ be no$2$ kind$2$ sister to$9$ get up$5$ for$4$ \me\." 
210:280,11['  ]| And in$4$ 
210:280,12['  ]| a lower$2$ tone to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
210:280,12[D  ]| "I shall have only a desolate house 
210:280,13[D  ]| to$9$ hurry$1$ from. Your brother will$1$ find my ideas of time 
210:280,14[D  ]| and his own$2$ very different to-morrow." 
210:280,15['  ]| After$4$ a short consideration, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas asked $MP#D$Crawford 
210:280,16@e   | to$9$ join the early breakfast$0$ party in$4$ that$6#2$ house instead of 
210:280,17@e   | eating alone; he should himself be of it; and the readiness 
210:280,18@e   | with which$6#1$ his invitation was accepted, convinced 
210:280,19@e   | him that$3$ the suspicions whence, he must confess to$4$ himself, 
210:280,20@e   | this very ball$0#2$ had in$4$ great measure$0$ sprung, were well$5$ 
210:280,21@e   | founded. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was in$4$ love$0$ with $MP#A$Fanny. He 
210:280,22@e   | had a pleasing anticipation of what would be. 
210:280,22['  ]| His niece, 
210:280,23['  ]| meanwhile, did not thank him for$4$ what he had just$5$ done. 
210:280,24@a   | She had hoped to$9$ have $MP#Q$William all to$4$ herself, the last$2$ 
210:280,25@a   | morning. It would have been an unspeakable indulgence. 
210:280,26['  ]| But though her wishes$0$ were overthrown there was no$2$ 
210:280,27['  ]| spirit of murmuring within her. On$4$ the contrary, she 
210:280,28['  ]| was so$5#1$ totally unused to$9$ have her pleasure consulted, or 
210:280,29['  ]| to$9$ have any*thing take place$0$ at all in$4$ the way she could 
210:280,30['  ]| desire$1$, that$3$ she was more disposed to$9$ wonder$1$ and rejoice 
210:280,31['  ]| in$4$ having carried her point$0$ so$5#1$ far, than to$9$ repine at the 
210:280,32['  ]| counteraction which$6#1$ followed. 
210:280,33['  ]| Shortly afterwards, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was again interfering 
210:280,34['  ]| a little with her inclination, by$4$ advising her to$9$ go immediately 
210:280,35['  ]| to$4$ bed. "Advise" was his word, but it was the 
210:280,36['  ]| advice of absolute power, and she had only to$9$ rise$1$ and, 
210:280,37['  ]| with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's very cordial$2$ adieus, pass$1$ quietly 
210:280,38['  ]| away; stopping at the entrance door, like$4$ the 
210:280,38['  ]| $MP#Z2$Lady*of*Branxholm*Hall, 
210:281,01['  ]| "one moment and no$2$ more," to$9$ view$1$ 
210:281,02['  ]| the happy scene, and take a last$2$ look$0$ at the five or six 
210:281,03['  ]| determined couple, who$6#1$ were still$5$ hard at work$0$ ~~ and then, 
210:281,04['  ]| creeping slowly up$4$ the principal$2$ staircase, pursued by$4$ the 
210:281,05['  ]| ceaseless country-dance, feverish with hopes$0$ and fears, 
210:281,06['  ]| soup and negus, sore-footed and fatigued, restless and 
210:281,07['  ]| agitated, yet feeling, in$4$ spite$8$ of every*thing, that$3$ 
210:281,07@a   | a ball$0#2$ 
210:281,08@a   | was indeed delightful. 
210:281,09['  ]| In$4$ thus sending her away, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas perhaps might 
210:281,10['  ]| not be thinking merely of her health. It might occur to$4$ 
210:281,11['  ]| him, that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford had been sitting by$4$ her long 
210:281,12['  ]| enough, or he might mean$1$ to$9$ recommend her as a wife by$4$ 
210:281,13['  ]| shewing her persuadableness. 
211:282,01['  ]| The ball$0#2$ was over ~~ and the breakfast$0$ was soon over 
211:282,02['  ]| too$5#2$; the last$2$ kiss$0$ was given, and $MP#Q$William was gone. 
211:282,02['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
211:282,03['  ]| had, as he foretold, been very punctual, and 
211:282,04['  ]| short and pleasant had been the meal. 
211:282,05['  ]| After$4$ seeing $MP#Q$William to$4$ the last$2$ moment, $MP#A$Fanny walked 
211:282,06['  ]| back$5$ into the breakfast-room with a very saddened heart 
211:282,07['  ]| to$9$ grieve over the melancholy$2$ change$0$; and there her uncle 
211:282,08['  ]| kindly left her to$9$ cry$1$ in$4$ peace, conceiving perhaps that$3$ 
211:282,09['  ]| the deserted chair of each young man might exercise$1$ her 
211:282,10['  ]| tender$2$ enthusiasm, and that$3$ the remaining cold$2$ pork 
211:282,11['  ]| bones and mustard in$4$ $MP#Q$William's plate, might but divide 
211:282,12['  ]| her feelings with the broken egg-shells in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's. 
211:282,13['  ]| She sat and cried \con*amore\ as her uncle intended, but it 
211:282,14['  ]| was con*amore fraternal and no$2$ other. $MP#Q$William was gone, 
211:282,15['  ]| and she now felt as if she had wasted half his visit$0$ in$4$ idle 
211:282,16['  ]| cares$0$ and selfish solicitudes unconnected with him. 
211:282,17['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's disposition was such that$3$ she could never even$5$ 
211:282,18['  ]| think of her aunt $MP#J$Norris in$4$ the meagreness and cheerlessness 
211:282,19['  ]| of her own$2$ small house, without reproaching herself for$4$ some 
211:282,20['  ]| little want$0$ of attention to$4$ her when they had been last$2$ 
211:282,21['  ]| together; much less could her feelings acquit her of having 
211:282,22['  ]| done and said and thought$1$ every*thing by$4$ $MP#Q$William, that$6#1$ 
211:282,23['  ]| was due$2$ to$4$ him for$4$ a whole$0$ fortnight. 
211:282,24@a   | It was a heavy, melancholy$2$ day. ~~ Soon after$4$ the second$2$ 
211:282,25@a   | breakfast$0$, $MP#B$Edmund bad them good*bye for$4$ a week, and 
211:282,26@a   | mounted his horse for$4$ Peterborough, and then all were 
211:282,27@a   | gone. Nothing remained of last$2$ night but remembrances, 
211:282,28@a   | which$6#1$ she had nobody to$9$ share$1$ in$4$. She talked to$4$ her 
211:282,29@a   | aunt $MP#F$Bertram ~~ she must talk$1$ to$4$ somebody of the ball$0#2$, 
211:282,30@a   | but her aunt had seen so$5#1$ little of what passed, and had so$5#1$ 
211:282,31@a   | little curiosity, that$3$ it was heavy work$0$. 
211:282,31['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
211:282,32['  ]| was not certain of any*body's dress$0$, or any*body's place$0$ 
211:283,01['  ]| at supper, but her own$2$. 
211:283,01[F  ]| "She could not recollect what 
211:283,02[F  ]| it was that$6#1$ she had heard about$4$ one of the $MP#ZU$Miss*Maddoxes, 
211:283,03[F  ]| or what it was that$6#1$ $MP#ZZB$Lady*Prescott had noticed in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny; 
211:283,04[F  ]| she was not sure whether $MP#ZL$Colonel*Harrison had been talking 
211:283,05[F  ]| of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford or of $MP#Q$William, when he said he was 
211:283,06[F  ]| the finest young man in$4$ the room; somebody had whispered 
211:283,07[F  ]| something to$4$ her, she had forgot to$9$ ask $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
211:283,08[F  ]| what it could be." 
211:283,08['  ]| And these were her longest speeches 
211:283,09['  ]| and clearest communications; the rest$0#1$ was only a languid 
211:283,10[F  ]| "Yes ~~ yes ~~ very well$5$ ~~ did you? did he? ~~ I did not 
211:283,11[F  ]| see \that$6#2$\ ~~ I should not know one from the other." 
211:283,11@a   | This 
211:283,12@a   | was very bad. It was only better than $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's 
211:283,13@a   | sharp answers would have been; 
211:283,13['  ]| but she being$1$ gone home 
211:283,14['  ]| with all the supernumerary jellies to$9$ nurse$1$ a sick maid, 
211:283,15['  ]| there was peace and good*humour in$4$ their little party, 
211:283,16['  ]| though it could not boast$1$ much beside$5$. 
211:283,17@a   | The evening was heavy like$4$ the day ~~ 
211:283,17[F  ]| "I cannot think 
211:283,18[F  ]| what is the matter with me!" 
211:283,18['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, when 
211:283,19['  ]| the tea-things were removed. 
211:283,19[F  ]| "I feel quite stupid. It 
211:283,20[F  ]| must be sitting up$5$ so$5#1$ late last$2$ night. $MP#A$Fanny, you must 
211:283,21[F  ]| do something to$9$ keep me awake$2$. I cannot work$1$. Fetch 
211:283,22[F  ]| the cards, ~~ I feel so$5#1$ very stupid." 
211:283,23['  ]| The cards were brought, and $MP#A$Fanny played at cribbage 
211:283,24['  ]| with her aunt till bed-time; and as $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was reading 
211:283,25['  ]| to$4$ himself, no$2$ sounds$0$ were heard in$4$ the room for$4$ the 
211:283,26['  ]| next two hours beyond$4$ the reckonings of the game ~~ 
211:283,27[A  ]| "And \that$6#2$\ makes thirty-one; ~~ four in$4$ hand$0$ and eight in$4$ 
211:283,28[A  ]| crib. ~~ You are to$9$ deal$1$, ma'am; shall I deal$1$ for$4$ you?" 
211:283,29['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny thought$1$ and thought$1$ again 
211:283,29@a   | of the difference which$6#1$ 
211:283,30@a   | twenty-four hours had made in$4$ that$6#2$ room, and all that$6#2$ 
211:283,31@a   | part$0$ of the house. Last$2$ night it had been hope$0$ and smiles, 
211:283,32@a   | bustle$0$ and motion, noise and brilliancy in$4$ the drawing-room, 
211:283,33@a   | and out$5$ of the drawing-room, and every*where. 
211:283,34@a   | Now it was languor, and all but solitude. 
211:283,35['  ]| A good night's rest$0#2$ improved her spirits. She could 
211:283,36['  ]| think of $MP#Q$William the next day more cheerfully, and as the 
211:283,37['  ]| morning afforded her an opportunity of talking over 
211:283,38['  ]| Thursday night with $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, in$4$ a 
211:284,01['  ]| very handsome style, with all the heightenings of imagination 
211:284,02['  ]| and all the laughs of playfulness which$6#1$ are so$5#1$ 
211:284,03['  ]| essential to$4$ the shade of a departed ball$0#2$, she could afterwards 
211:284,04['  ]| bring her mind$0$ without much effort into its everyday 
211:284,05['  ]| state$0$, and easily conform to$4$ the tranquillity of the 
211:284,06['  ]| present$2$ quiet$2$ week. 
211:284,07@a   | They were indeed a smaller party than she had ever 
211:284,08@a   | known there for$4$ a whole$0$ day together, and \he\ was gone 
211:284,09@a   | on$4$ whom$6#1$ the comfort$0$ and cheerfulness of every family-meeting 
211:284,10@a   | and every meal chiefly depended. But this must 
211:284,11@a   | be learned to$9$ be endured. He would soon be always gone; 
211:284,12@a   | and she was thankful that$3$ she could now sit in$4$ the same 
211:284,13@a   | room with her uncle, hear his voice, receive his questions, 
211:284,14@a   | and even$5$ answer$1$ them without such wretched feelings as 
211:284,15@a   | she had formerly known. 
211:284,16[E  ]| "We miss our two young men," 
211:284,16['  ]| was $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
211:284,17['  ]| observation on$4$ both the first and second$2$ day, as they 
211:284,18['  ]| formed their very reduced circle after$4$ dinner; and in$4$ 
211:284,19['  ]| consideration of $MP#A$Fanny's swimming eyes, nothing more was 
211:284,20['  ]| said on$4$ the first day than to$9$ drink their good*health; but 
211:284,21['  ]| on$4$ the second$2$ it led to$4$ something farther. $MP#Q$William was 
211:284,22['  ]| kindly commended and his promotion hoped for$5$. 
211:284,22[E  ]| "And 
211:284,23[E  ]| there is no$2$ reason$0$ to$9$ suppose," 
211:284,23['  ]| added $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
211:284,23[E  ]| "but 
211:284,24[E  ]| that$3$ his visits to$4$ us may$1$ now be tolerably frequent. As to$4$ 
211:284,25[E  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, we must learn to$9$ do without him. This will$1$ be 
211:284,26[E  ]| the last$2$ winter of his belonging to$4$ us, as he has done." 
211:284,27[F  ]| "Yes," 
211:284,27['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
211:284,27[F  ]| "but I wish$1$ he was not going 
211:284,28[F  ]| away. They are all going away I think. I wish$1$ they 
211:284,29[F  ]| would stay$1$ at home." 
211:284,30['  ]| This wish$0$ was levelled principally at $MP#I$Julia, who$6#1$ had just$5$ 
211:284,31['  ]| applied for$4$ permission to$9$ go to$4$ town with $MP#H$Maria; and as 
211:284,32['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas thought$1$ it best for$4$ each daughter that$3$ the 
211:284,33['  ]| permission should be granted, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, though in$4$ 
211:284,34['  ]| her own$2$ good*nature she would not have prevented it, was 
211:284,35['  ]| lamenting the change$0$ it made in$4$ the prospect of $MP#I$Julia's 
211:284,36['  ]| return$0$, which$6#1$ would otherwise have taken place$0$ about$4$ this 
211:284,37['  ]| time. A great deal$0$ of good sense followed on$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's 
211:284,38['  ]| side$0$, tending to$9$ reconcile his wife to$4$ the arrangement. 
211:285,01['  ]| Every*thing that$6#1$ a considerate parent \ought\ to$9$ feel was 
211:285,02['  ]| advanced for$4$ her use$0$; and every*thing that$6#1$ an affectionate 
211:285,03['  ]| mother \must\ feel in$4$ promoting her children's enjoyment, 
211:285,04['  ]| was attributed to$4$ her nature. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram agreed to$4$ it 
211:285,05['  ]| all with a calm$2$ 
211:285,05[F  ]| "Yes" ~~ 
211:285,05['  ]| and at the end$0$ of a quarter$0#1$ of an 
211:285,06['  ]| hour's silent consideration, spontaneously observed, 
211:285,06[F  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
211:285,07[F  ]| I have been thinking ~~ and I am very glad we 
211:285,08[F  ]| took $MP#A$Fanny as we did, for$3$ now the others are away, we feel 
211:285,09[F  ]| the good of it." 
211:285,10['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas immediately improved this compliment$0$ by$4$ 
211:285,11['  ]| adding, 
211:285,11[E  ]| "Very true. We shew$1$ $MP#A$Fanny what a good girl we 
211:285,12[E  ]| think her by$4$ praising her to$4$ her face$0$ ~~ she is now a very 
211:285,13[E  ]| valuable companion. If we have been kind$2$ to$4$ \her\, she is 
211:285,14[E  ]| now quite as necessary to$4$ \us\." 
211:285,15[F  ]| "Yes," 
211:285,15['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram presently ~~ 
211:285,15[F  ]| "and it is a comfort$0$ 
211:285,16[F  ]| to$9$ think that$3$ we shall always have \her\." 
211:285,17['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas paused, half smiled, glanced at his niece, and 
211:285,18['  ]| then gravely replied, 
211:285,18[E  ]| "She will$1$ never leave$1$ us, I hope$1$, till 
211:285,19[E  ]| invited to$4$ some other home that$6#1$ may$1$ reasonably promise$1$ 
211:285,20[E  ]| her greater happiness than she knows here." 
211:285,21[F  ]| "And \that$6#2$\ is not very likely to$9$ be, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. Who$6#2$ 
211:285,22[F  ]| should invite her? $MP#H$Maria might be very glad to$9$ see her at 
211:285,23[F  ]| Sotherton now and then, but she would not think of asking 
211:285,24[F  ]| her to$9$ live there ~~ and I am sure she is better off here ~~ and 
211:285,25[F  ]| besides I cannot do without her." 
211:285,26['  ]| The week which$6#1$ passed so$5#1$ quietly and peaceably at the 
211:285,27['  ]| great house in$4$ Mansfield, had a very different character at 
211:285,28['  ]| the Parsonage. To$4$ the young lady at least in$4$ each family, 
211:285,29['  ]| it brought very different feelings. What was tranquillity 
211:285,30['  ]| and comfort$0$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny was tediousness and vexation to$4$ 
211:285,31['  ]| $MP#C$Mary. Something arose from difference of disposition and 
211:285,32['  ]| habit ~~ one so$5#1$ easily satisfied, the other so$5#1$ unused to$9$ 
211:285,33['  ]| endure; but still$5$ more might be imputed to$4$ difference 
211:285,34['  ]| of circumstances. In$4$ some points of interest$0$ they were 
211:285,35['  ]| exactly opposed to$4$ each other. To$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's mind$0$, 
211:285,36['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's absence was really in$4$ its cause and its tendency 
211:285,37['  ]| a relief. To$4$ $MP#C$Mary it was every way painful. She felt the
211:285,38['  ]| want$0$ of his society every day, almost every hour; and was 
211:286,01['  ]| too$5#1$ much in$4$ want$0$ of it to$9$ derive any*thing but irritation 
211:286,02['  ]| from considering the object$0$ for$4$ which$6#1$ he went. He could 
211:286,03['  ]| not have devised any*thing more likely to$9$ raise his consequence 
211:286,04['  ]| than this week's absence, occurring as it did at the 
211:286,05['  ]| very time of her brother's going away, of $MP#Q$William*Price's 
211:286,06['  ]| going too$5#2$, and completing the sort of general$2$ break-up of 
211:286,07['  ]| a party which$6#1$ had been so$5#1$ animated. She felt it keenly. 
211:286,08@c   | They were now a miserable trio, confined within doors by$4$ 
211:286,09@c   | a series of rain$0$ and snow, with nothing to$9$ do and no$2$ variety 
211:286,10@c   | to$9$ hope$1$ for$4$. 
211:286,10['  ]| Angry as she was with $MP#B$Edmund for$4$ adhering 
211:286,11['  ]| to$4$ his own$2$ notions and acting on$4$ them in$4$ defiance of her, 
211:286,12['  ]| (and she had been so$5#1$ angry that$3$ they had hardly parted 
211:286,13['  ]| friends at the ball$0#2$,) she could not help$1$ thinking of him 
211:286,14['  ]| continually when absent, dwelling on$4$ his merit$0$ and affection, 
211:286,15['  ]| and longing again for$4$ the almost daily meetings they 
211:286,16['  ]| lately had. 
211:286,16@c   | His absence was unnecessarily long. He 
211:286,17@c   | should not have planned such an absence ~~ he should not 
211:286,18@c   | have left home for$4$ a week, when her own$2$ departure from 
211:286,19@c   | Mansfield was so$5#1$ near$5$. 
211:286,19['  ]| Then she began to$9$ blame$1$ herself. 
211:286,20@c   | She wished she had not spoken so$5#1$ warmly in$4$ their last$2$ 
211:286,21@c   | conversation. She was afraid she had used some strong ~~ 
211:286,22@c   | some contemptuous expressions in$4$ speaking of the clergy, 
211:286,23@c   | and \that$6#2$\ should not have been. It was ill-bred ~~ it 
211:286,24@c   | was wrong. She wished such words unsaid with all her 
211:286,25@c   | heart. 
211:286,26['  ]| Her vexation did not end$1$ with the week. All this was 
211:286,27['  ]| bad, but she had still$5$ more to$9$ feel when Friday came round$5$ 
211:286,28['  ]| again and brought no$2$ $MP#B$Edmund ~~ when Saturday came and 
211:286,29['  ]| still$5$ no$2$ $MP#B$Edmund ~~ and when, through$4$ the slight$2$ communication 
211:286,30['  ]| with the other family which$6#1$ Sunday produced, she 
211:286,31['  ]| learnt that$3$ he had actually written home to$9$ defer his 
211:286,32['  ]| return$0$, having promised to$9$ remain some days longer with 
211:286,33['  ]| his friend! 
211:286,34['  ]| If she had felt impatience and regret$0$ before$5$ ~~ if she had 
211:286,35['  ]| been sorry for$4$ what she said, and feared its too$5#1$ strong 
211:286,36['  ]| effect$0$ on$4$ him, she now felt and feared it all tenfold more. 
211:286,37['  ]| She had, moreover, to$9$ contend with one disagreeable 
211:286,38['  ]| emotion entirely new to$4$ her ~~ jealousy. 
211:286,38@c   | His friend 
211:287,01@c   | $MP#ZZA$Mr%*Owen had sisters ~~ He might find them attractive. 
211:287,02@c   | But at any rate$0$ his staying away at a time, when, according 
211:287,03@c   | to$4$ all preceding plans, she was to$9$ remove$1$ to$4$ London, meant 
211:287,04@c   | something that$6#1$ she could not bear$1$. Had $MP#D$Henry returned, 
211:287,05@c   | as he talked of doing, at the end$0$ of three or four days, she 
211:287,06@c   | should now have been leaving Mansfield. It became 
211:287,07@c   | absolutely necessary for$4$ her to$9$ get to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny and try to$9$ 
211:287,08@c   | learn something more. She could not live any longer in$4$ 
211:287,09@c   | such solitary wretchedness; 
211:287,09['  ]| and she made her way to$4$ the 
211:287,10['  ]| Park, through$4$ difficulties of walking which$6#1$ she had deemed 
211:287,11['  ]| unconquerable a week before$5$, for$4$ the chance$0$ of hearing 
211:287,12['  ]| a little in$4$ addition, for$4$ the sake of at least hearing his 
211:287,13['  ]| name$0$. 
211:287,14@c   | The first half hour was lost, for$3$ $MP#A$Fanny and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
211:287,15@c   | were together, and unless she had $MP#A$Fanny to$4$ herself she 
211:287,16@c   | could hope$1$ for$4$ nothing. But at last$0$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram left the 
211:287,17@c   | room ~~ 
211:287,17['  ]| and then almost immediately $MP#C$Miss*Crawford thus 
211:287,18['  ]| began, with a voice as well$5$ regulated as she could ~~ 
211:287,18[C  ]| "And 
211:287,19[C  ]| how do \you\ like$1$ your cousin $MP#B$Edmund's staying away so$5#1$ 
211:287,20[C  ]| long? ~~ being$1$ the only young person at home, I consider 
211:287,21[C  ]| \you\ as the greatest sufferer. ~~ You must miss him. Does 
211:287,22[C  ]| his staying longer surprize$1$ you?" 
211:287,23[A  ]| "I do not know," 
211:287,23['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny hesitatingly. 
211:287,23[A  ]| "Yes ~~ 
211:287,24[A  ]| I had not particularly expected it." 
211:287,25[C  ]| "Perhaps he will$1$ always stay$1$ longer than he talks of. 
211:287,26[C  ]| It is the general$2$ way; all young men do." 
211:287,27[A  ]| "He did not, the only time he went to$9$ see $MP#ZZA$Mr%*Owen 
211:287,28[A  ]| before$5$." 
211:287,29[C  ]| "He finds the house more agreeable \now\. ~~ He is a very ~~ 
211:287,30[C  ]| a very pleasing young man himself, and I cannot help$1$ 
211:287,31[C  ]| being$1$ rather concerned at not seeing him again before$3$ I go 
211:287,32[C  ]| to$4$ London, as will$1$ now undoubtedly be the case. ~~ I am 
211:287,33[C  ]| looking for$4$ $MP#D$Henry every day, and as soon as he comes there 
211:287,34[C  ]| will$1$ be nothing to$9$ detain me at Mansfield. I should like$1$ to$9$ 
211:287,35[C  ]| have seen him once more, I confess. But you must give my 
211:287,36[C  ]| compliments to$4$ him. Yes ~~ I think it must be compliments. 
211:287,37[C  ]| Is not there a something wanted, $MP#A$Miss*Price, in$4$ our 
211:287,38[C  ]| language a something between compliments and ~~ and 
211:288,01[C  ]| love$0$ ~~ to$9$ suit$1$ the sort of friendly acquaintance we have had 
211:288,02[C  ]| together? ~~ So$5#1$ many months acquaintance! ~~ But compliments 
211:288,03[C  ]| may$1$ be sufficient here. ~~ Was his letter a long one? 
211:288,04[C  ]| ~~ Does he give you much account$0$ of what he is doing? ~~ 
211:288,05[C  ]| Is it Christmas gaieties that$6#1$ he is staying for$4$?" 
211:288,06[A  ]| "I only heard a part$0$ of the letter; it was to$4$ my uncle ~~ 
211:288,07[A  ]| but I believe it was very short; indeed I am sure it was 
211:288,08[A  ]| but a few lines. All that$6#1$ I heard was that$3$ his friend had 
211:288,09[A  ]| pressed him to$9$ stay$1$ longer, and that$3$ he had agreed to$9$ do so$5#2$. 
211:288,10[A  ]| A \few\ days longer, or \some\ days longer, I am not quite 
211:288,11[A  ]| sure which$6#1$." 
211:288,12[C  ]| "Oh! if he wrote to$4$ his father ~~ but I thought$1$ it might 
211:288,13[C  ]| have been to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram or you. But if he wrote to$4$ his 
211:288,14[C  ]| father, no$2$ wonder$0$ he was concise. Who$6#2$ could write chat$0$ to$4$ 
211:288,15[C  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas? If he had written to$4$ you, there would have 
211:288,16[C  ]| been more particulars. You would have heard of balls and 
211:288,17[C  ]| parties. ~~ He would have sent you a description of every*thing 
211:288,18[C  ]| and every*body. How many $MP#ZZA$Miss*Owens are there?" 
211:288,19[A  ]| "Three grown up$5$." 
211:288,20[C  ]| "Are they musical?" 
211:288,21[A  ]| "I do not at all know. I never heard." 
211:288,22[C  ]| "That$6#2$ is the first question$0$, you know," 
211:288,22['  ]| said $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
211:288,23['  ]| trying$1$ to$9$ appear gay and unconcerned, 
211:288,23[C  ]| "which$6#1$ every 
211:288,24[C  ]| woman who$6#1$ plays$1$ herself is sure to$9$ ask about$4$ another. 
211:288,25[C  ]| But it is very foolish to$9$ ask questions about$4$ any young 
211:288,26[C  ]| ladies ~~ about$4$ any three sisters just$5$ grown up$5$; for$3$ one 
211:288,27[C  ]| knows, without being$1$ told, exactly what they are ~~ all very 
211:288,28[C  ]| accomplished and pleasing, and \one\ very pretty$2$. There is 
211:288,29[C  ]| a beauty in$4$ every family. ~~ It is a regular thing. Two play$1$ 
211:288,30[C  ]| on$4$ the piano-forte, and one on$4$ the harp ~~ and all sing ~~ or 
211:288,31[C  ]| would sing if they were taught ~~ or sing all the better for$4$ 
211:288,32[C  ]| not being$1$ taught ~~ or something like$4$ it." 
211:288,33[A  ]| "I know nothing of the $MP#ZZA$Miss*Owens," 
211:288,33['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny 
211:288,34['  ]| calmly. 
211:288,35[C  ]| "You know nothing and you care$1$ less, as people say. 
211:288,36[C  ]| Never did tone express$1$ indifference plainer. Indeed how 
211:288,37[C  ]| can one care$1$ for$4$ those one has never seen? ~~ Well$7$, when 
211:288,38[C  ]| your cousin comes back$5$, he will$1$ find Mansfield very quiet$2$; 
211:289,01[C  ]| ~~ all the noisy ones gone, your brother and mine$6$ and 
211:289,02[C  ]| myself. I do not like$1$ the idea of leaving $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant now 
211:289,03[C  ]| the time draws near$5$. She does not like$1$ my going." 
211:289,04['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny felt obliged to$9$ speak. 
211:289,04[A  ]| "You cannot doubt$1$ your 
211:289,05[A  ]| being$1$ missed by$4$ many," 
211:289,05['  ]| said she. 
211:289,05[A  ]| "You will$1$ be very 
211:289,06[A  ]| much missed." 
211:289,07['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford turned her eye on$4$ her, as if wanting to$9$ 
211:289,08['  ]| hear or see more, and then laughingly said, 
211:289,08[C  ]| "Oh! yes, 
211:289,09[C  ]| missed as every noisy evil is missed when it is taken away; 
211:289,10[C  ]| that$6#2$ is, there is a great difference felt. But I am not 
211:289,11[C  ]| fishing; don't compliment$1$ me. If I \am\ missed, it will$1$ 
211:289,12[C  ]| appear. I may$1$ be discovered by$4$ those who$6#1$ want$1$ to$9$ see 
211:289,13[C  ]| me. I shall not be in$4$ any doubtful, or distant, or unapproachable 
211:289,14[C  ]| region." 
211:289,15['  ]| Now $MP#A$Fanny could not bring herself to$9$ speak, and 
211:289,16['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford was disappointed; for$3$ she had hoped to$9$ 
211:289,17['  ]| hear some pleasant assurance of her power, from one who$6#1$ 
211:289,18['  ]| she thought$1$ must know; and her spirits were clouded 
211:289,19['  ]| again. 
211:289,20[C  ]| "The $MP#ZZA$Miss*Owens," 
211:289,20['  ]| said she soon afterwards ~~ 
211:289,20[C  ]| "Suppose 
211:289,21[C  ]| you were to$9$ have one of the $MP#ZZA$Miss*Owens settled at 
211:289,22[C  ]| Thornton*Lacey; how should you like$1$ it? Stranger$2$ things 
211:289,23[C  ]| have happened. I dare$1#2$ say they are trying$1$ for$4$ it. And 
211:289,24[C  ]| they are quite in$4$ the right$0$, for$3$ it would be a very pretty$2$ 
211:289,25[C  ]| establishment for$4$ them. I do not at all wonder$0$ or blame$1$ 
211:289,26[C  ]| them. ~~ It is every*body's duty to$9$ do as well$5$ for$4$ themselves 
211:289,27[C  ]| as they can. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas*Bertram's son is somebody; and 
211:289,28[C  ]| now, he is in$4$ their own$2$ line. Their father is a clergyman 
211:289,29[C  ]| and their brother is a clergyman, and they are all clergymen 
211:289,30[C  ]| together. He is their lawful property, he fairly 
211:289,31[C  ]| belongs to$4$ them. You don't speak, $MP#A$Fanny ~~ $MP#A$Miss*Price ~~ 
211:289,32[C  ]| you don't speak. ~~ But honestly now, do not you rather 
211:289,33[C  ]| expect it than otherwise?" 
211:289,34[A  ]| "No$7$," 
211:289,34['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny stoutly, 
211:289,34[A  ]| "I do not expect it at all." 
211:289,35[C  ]| "Not at all!" ~~ 
211:289,35['  ]| cried $MP#C$Miss*Crawford with alacrity. 
211:289,36[C  ]| "I wonder$1$ at that$6#2$. But I dare$1#2$ say you know exactly ~~ 
211:289,37[C  ]| I always imagine you are ~~ perhaps you do not think him 
211:289,38[C  ]| likely to$9$ marry at all ~~ or not at present$0#1$." 
211:290,01[A  ]| "No$7$, I do not," 
211:290,01['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny softly ~~ hoping she did not 
211:290,02['  ]| err either in$4$ the belief or the acknowledgment of it. 
211:290,03['  ]| Her companion looked at her keenly; and gathering 
211:290,04['  ]| greater spirit from the blush$0$ soon produced from such 
211:290,05['  ]| a look$0$, only said, 
211:290,05[C  ]| "He is best off as he is," 
211:290,05['  ]| and turned the 
211:290,06['  ]| subject$0$. 
212:291,01['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's uneasiness was much lightened by$4$ 
212:291,02['  ]| this conversation, and she walked home again in$4$ spirits 
212:291,03['  ]| which$6#1$ might have defied almost another week of the same 
212:291,04['  ]| small party in$4$ the same bad weather, had they been put to$4$ 
212:291,05['  ]| the proof; but as that$6#2$ very evening brought her brother 
212:291,06['  ]| down$5$ from London again in$4$ quite, or more than quite, his 
212:291,07['  ]| usual cheerfulness, she had nothing further to$9$ try her own$2$. 
212:291,08['  ]| His still$5$ refusing to$9$ tell her what he had gone for$4$, was but 
212:291,09['  ]| the promotion of gaiety; a day before$5$ it might have 
212:291,10['  ]| irritated, but now it was a pleasant joke ~~ suspected only 
212:291,11['  ]| of concealing something planned as a pleasant surprize$0$ to$4$ 
212:291,12['  ]| herself. And the next day \did\ bring a surprize$0$ to$4$ her. 
212:291,13['  ]| $MP#D$Henry had said 
212:291,13@d   | he should just$5$ go and ask the $MP#E1$Bertrams 
212:291,14@d   | how they did, and be back$5$ in$4$ ten minutes ~~ 
212:291,14['  ]| but he was 
212:291,15['  ]| gone above$4$ an hour; and when his sister, who$6#1$ had been 
212:291,16['  ]| waiting for$4$ him to$9$ walk$1$ with her in$4$ the garden, met him at 
212:291,17['  ]| last$0$ most impatiently in$4$ the sweep, and cried out$5$, 
212:291,17[C  ]| "My dear$2#1$ 
212:291,18[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry, where can you possibly have been all this time?" 
212:291,19['  ]| he had only to$9$ say that$3$ he had been sitting 
212:291,20['  ]| with $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
212:291,21['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny. 
212:291,21[C  ]| "Sitting with them an hour and half!" 
212:291,21['  ]| exclaimed 
212:291,22['  ]| $MP#C$Mary. 
212:291,23['  ]| But this was only the beginning of her surprize$0$. 
212:291,24[D  ]| "Yes, $MP#C$Mary," 
212:291,24['  ]| said he, drawing her arm$0$ within his, and 
212:291,25['  ]| walking along$4$ the sweep as if not knowing where he was ~~ 
212:291,26[D  ]| "I could not get away sooner ~~ $MP#A$Fanny looked so$5#1$ lovely! ~~ 
212:291,27[D  ]| I am quite determined, $MP#C$Mary. My mind$0$ is entirely made 
212:291,28[D  ]| up$5$. Will$1$ it astonish you? No$7$ ~~ You must be aware that$3$ 
212:291,29[D  ]| I am quite determined to$9$ marry $MP#A$Fanny*Price." 
212:291,30['  ]| The surprize$0$ was now complete$2$; for$3$ in$4$ spite$8$ of whatever 
212:291,31['  ]| his consciousness might suggest, a suspicion of his having 
212:291,32['  ]| any such views had never entered his sister's imagination; 
212:291,33['  ]| and she looked so$5#1$ truly the astonishment she felt, that$3$ he 
212:292,01['  ]| was obliged to$9$ repeat what he had said, and more fully and 
212:292,02['  ]| more solemnly. The conviction of his determination once 
212:292,03['  ]| admitted, it was not unwelcome. There was even$5$ pleasure 
212:292,04['  ]| with the surprize$0$. $MP#C$Mary was in$4$ a state$0$ of mind$0$ to$9$ rejoice 
212:292,05['  ]| in$4$ a connection with the $MP#E$Bertram family, and to$9$ be not 
212:292,06['  ]| displeased with her brother's marrying a little beneath 
212:292,07['  ]| him. 
212:292,08[D  ]| "Yes, $MP#C$Mary," 
212:292,08['  ]| was $MP#D$Henry's concluding assurance, 
212:292,09[D  ]| "I am fairly caught. You know with what idle designs 
212:292,10[D  ]| I began ~~ but this is the end$0$ of them. I have (I flatter 
212:292,11[D  ]| myself) made no$2$ inconsiderable progress in$4$ her affections; 
212:292,12[D  ]| but my own$2$ are entirely fixed." 
212:292,13[C  ]| "Lucky, lucky girl!" 
212:292,13['  ]| cried $MP#C$Mary as soon as she could 
212:292,14['  ]| speak ~~ 
212:292,14[C  ]| "what a match$0$ for$4$ her! My dearest $MP#D$Henry, this 
212:292,15[C  ]| must be my \first\ feeling; but my \second$2$\, which$6#1$ you shall 
212:292,16[C  ]| have as sincerely, is that$3$ I approve your choice$0$ from my 
212:292,17[C  ]| soul, and foresee your happiness as heartily as I wish$1$ and 
212:292,18[C  ]| desire$1$ it. You will$1$ have a sweet little wife; all gratitude 
212:292,19[C  ]| and devotion. Exactly what you deserve. What an 
212:292,20[C  ]| amazing match$0$ for$4$ her! $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris often talks of her 
212:292,21[C  ]| luck; what will$1$ she say now? The delight$0$ of all the 
212:292,22[C  ]| family indeed! And she has some \true\ friends in$4$ it. How 
212:292,23[C  ]| \they\ will$1$ rejoice! But tell me all about$4$ it. Talk$1$ to$4$ me 
212:292,24[C  ]| for*ever. When did you begin to$9$ think seriously about$4$ 
212:292,25[C  ]| her?" 
212:292,26['  ]| Nothing could be more impossible than to$9$ answer$1$ such 
212:292,27['  ]| a question$0$, though nothing be more agreeable than to$9$ have 
212:292,28['  ]| it asked. "How the pleasing plague had stolen on$4$ him" 
212:292,29['  ]| he could not say, and before$3$ he had expressed the same 
212:292,30['  ]| sentiment with a little variation of words three times over, 
212:292,31['  ]| his sister eagerly interrupted him with, 
212:292,31[C  ]| "Ah! my dear$2#1$ 
212:292,32[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry, and this is what took you to$4$ London! This was 
212:292,33[C  ]| your business! You chose to$9$ consult the $MP#ZF$Admiral, before$3$ 
212:292,34[C  ]| you made up$5$ your mind$0$." 
212:292,35['  ]| But this he stoutly denied. 
212:292,35@d   | He knew his uncle too$5#1$ well$5$ 
212:292,36@d   | to$9$ consult him on$4$ any matrimonial scheme$0$. 
212:292,36['  ]| The $MP#ZF$Admiral 
212:292,37['  ]| hated marriage, and thought$1$ it never pardonable in$4$ a 
212:292,38['  ]| young man of independent fortune. 
212:293,01[D  ]| "When $MP#A$Fanny is known to$4$ him," 
212:293,01['  ]| continued $MP#D$Henry, 
212:293,01[D  ]| "he 
212:293,02[D  ]| will$1$ doat on$4$ her. She is exactly the woman to$9$ do away 
212:293,03[D  ]| every prejudice of such a man as the $MP#ZF$Admiral, for$3$ she is 
212:293,04[D  ]| exactly such a woman as he thinks does not exist in$4$ the 
212:293,05[D  ]| world. She is the very impossibility he would describe ~~ if 
212:293,06[D  ]| indeed he has now delicacy of language enough to$9$ embody 
212:293,07[D  ]| his own$2$ ideas. But till it is absolutely settled ~~ settled 
212:293,08[D  ]| beyond$4$ all interference, he shall know nothing of the 
212:293,09[D  ]| matter. No$7$, $MP#C$Mary, you are quite mistaken. You have 
212:293,10[D  ]| not discovered my business yet!" 
212:293,11[C  ]| "Well$7$, well$7$, I am satisfied. I know now to$4$ whom$6#1$ it 
212:293,12[C  ]| must relate, and am in$4$ no$2$ hurry$0$ for$4$ the rest$0#1$. $MP#A$Fanny*Price 
212:293,13[C  ]| ~~ Wonderful ~~ quite wonderful! ~~ That$3$ Mansfield should 
212:293,14[C  ]| have done so$5#1$ much for$4$ ~~ that$3$ \you\ should have found your 
212:293,15[C  ]| fate in$4$ Mansfield! But you are quite right$2#1$, you could not 
212:293,16[C  ]| have chosen better. There is not a better girl in$4$ the world, 
212:293,17[C  ]| and you do not want$1$ for$4$ fortune; and as to$4$ her connections, 
212:293,18[C  ]| they are more than good. The $MP#E1$Bertrams are undoubtedly 
212:293,19[C  ]| some of the first people in$4$ this country. She is niece 
212:293,20[C  ]| to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas*Bertram; that$6#2$ will$1$ be enough for$4$ the world. 
212:293,21[C  ]| But go on$5$, go on$5$. Tell me more. What are your plans? 
212:293,22[C  ]| Does she know her own$2$ happiness?" 
212:293,23[D  ]| "No$7$." 
212:293,24[C  ]| "What are you waiting for$4$?" 
212:293,25[D  ]| "For$4$ ~~ for$4$ very little more than opportunity. $MP#C$Mary, 
212:293,26[D  ]| she is not like$4$ her cousins; but I think I shall not ask in$4$ 
212:293,27[D  ]| vain." 
212:293,28[C  ]| "Oh! no$7$, you cannot. Were you even$5$ less pleasing ~~ 
212:293,29[C  ]| supposing her not to$9$ love$1$ you already (of which$6#1$ however 
212:293,30[C  ]| I can have little doubt$0$,) you would be safe. The gentleness 
212:293,31[C  ]| and gratitude of her disposition would secure$1$ her all your 
212:293,32[C  ]| own$2$ immediately. From my soul I do not think she would 
212:293,33[C  ]| marry you \without\ love$0$; that$6#2$ is, if there is a girl in$4$ the 
212:293,34[C  ]| world capable of being$1$ uninfluenced by$4$ ambition, I can 
212:293,35[C  ]| suppose it her; but ask her to$9$ love$1$ you, and she will$1$ never 
212:293,36[C  ]| have the heart to$9$ refuse." 
212:293,37['  ]| As soon as her eagerness could rest$1$ in$4$ silence$0$, he was as 
212:293,38['  ]| happy to$9$ tell as she could be to$9$ listen, and a conversation 
212:294,01['  ]| followed almost as deeply interesting to$4$ her as to$4$ himself, 
212:294,02['  ]| though he had in$4$ fact nothing to$9$ relate but his own$2$ sensations, 
212:294,03['  ]| nothing to$9$ dwell on$4$ but $MP#A$Fanny's charms. ~~ $MP#A$Fanny's 
212:294,04['  ]| beauty of face$0$ and figure, $MP#A$Fanny's graces of manner and 
212:294,05['  ]| goodness of heart were the exhaustless theme. The 
212:294,06['  ]| gentleness, modesty, and sweetness of her character were 
212:294,07['  ]| warmly expatiated on$5$, that$6#2$ sweetness which$6#1$ makes so$5#1$ 
212:294,08['  ]| essential a part$0$ of every woman's worth in$4$ the judgment 
212:294,09['  ]| of man, that$3$ though he sometimes loves where it is not, he 
212:294,10['  ]| can never believe it absent. 
212:294,10@d   | Her temper he had good 
212:294,11@d   | reason$0$ to$9$ depend on$4$ and to$9$ praise$1$. He had often seen it 
212:294,12@d   | tried. Was there one of the family, excepting $MP#B$Edmund, 
212:294,13@d   | who$6#1$ had not in$4$ some way or other continually exercised 
212:294,14@d   | her patience and forbearance? Her affections were 
212:294,15@d   | evidently strong. To$9$ see her with her brother! What 
212:294,16@d   | could more delightfully prove that$3$ the warmth of her 
212:294,17@d   | heart was equal$2$ to$4$ its gentleness? ~~ What could be more 
212:294,18@d   | encouraging to$4$ a man who$6#1$ had her love$0$ in$4$ view$0$? Then, 
212:294,19@d   | her understanding was beyond$4$ every suspicion, quick$2$ and 
212:294,20@d   | clear$2$; and her manners were the mirror of her own$2$ modest 
212:294,21@d   | and elegant mind$0$. 
212:294,21['  ]| Nor was this all. $MP#D$Henry*Crawford had 
212:294,22['  ]| too$5#1$ much sense not to$9$ feel the worth of good principles in$4$ 
212:294,23['  ]| a wife, though he was too$5#1$ little accustomed to$4$ serious$2$ 
212:294,24['  ]| reflection to$9$ know them by$4$ their proper name$0$; but when 
212:294,25['  ]| he talked of 
212:294,25@d   | her having such a steadiness and regularity of 
212:294,26@d   | conduct$0$, such a high notion of honour$0$, and such an observance 
212:294,27@d   | of decorum as might warrant any man in$4$ the fullest 
212:294,28@d   | dependence on$4$ her faith and integrity, 
212:294,28['  ]| he expressed what 
212:294,29['  ]| was inspired by$4$ the knowledge of her being$1$ well$5$ principled 
212:294,30['  ]| and religious. 
212:294,31[D  ]| "I could so$5#1$ wholly and absolutely confide in$4$ her," 
212:294,31['  ]| said 
212:294,32['  ]| he; 
212:294,32[D  ]| "and \that$6#2$\ is what I want$1$." 
212:294,33['  ]| Well$5$ might his sister, believing as she really did that$3$ his 
212:294,34['  ]| opinion of $MP#A$Fanny*Price was scarcely beyond$4$ her merits, 
212:294,35['  ]| rejoice in$4$ her prospects. 
212:294,36[C  ]| "The more I think of it," 
212:294,36['  ]| she cried, 
212:294,36[C  ]| "the more am 
212:294,37[C  ]| I convinced that$3$ you are doing quite right$0$, and though 
212:294,38[C  ]| I should never have selected $MP#A$Fanny*Price as the girl most 
212:295,01[C  ]| likely to$9$ attach you, I am now persuaded she is the very 
212:295,02[C  ]| one to$9$ make$1$ you happy. Your wicked project upon$4$ her 
212:295,03[C  ]| peace turns$1$ out$5$ a clever thought$0$ indeed. You will$1$ both 
212:295,04[C  ]| find your good in$4$ it." 
212:295,05[D  ]| "It was bad, very bad in$4$ me against such a creature! 
212:295,06[D  ]| but I did not know her then. And she shall have no$2$ reason$0$ 
212:295,07[D  ]| to$9$ lament the hour that$6#1$ first put it into my head$0$. I will$1$ 
212:295,08[D  ]| make$1$ her very happy, $MP#C$Mary, happier than she has ever yet 
212:295,09[D  ]| been herself, or ever seen any*body else. I will$1$ not take her 
212:295,10[D  ]| from Northamptonshire. I shall let Everingham, and rent 
212:295,11[D  ]| a place$0$ in$4$ this neighbourhood ~~ perhaps Stanwix*Lodge. 
212:295,12[D  ]| I shall let a seven year's lease of Everingham. I am sure of 
212:295,13[D  ]| an excellent tenant at half a word. I could name$1$ three 
212:295,14[D  ]| people now, who$6#1$ would give me my own$2$ terms and thank 
212:295,15[D  ]| me." 
212:295,16[C  ]| "Ha!" 
212:295,16['  ]| cried $MP#C$Mary, 
212:295,16[C  ]| "settle in$4$ Northamptonshire! 
212:295,17[C  ]| That$6#2$ is pleasant! Then we shall be all together." 
212:295,18['  ]| When she had spoken it, she recollected herself, and 
212:295,19['  ]| wished it unsaid; but there was no$2$ need$0$ of confusion, for$3$ 
212:295,20['  ]| her brother saw her only as the supposed inmate of Mansfield*Parsonage, 
212:295,21['  ]| and replied but to$9$ invite her in$4$ the kindest 
212:295,22['  ]| manner to$4$ his own$2$ house, and to$9$ claim$1$ the best right$0$ in$4$ her. 
212:295,23[D  ]| "You must give us more than half your time," 
212:295,23['  ]| said he; 
212:295,24[D  ]| "I cannot admit $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant to$9$ have an equal$2$ claim$0$ with 
212:295,25[D  ]| $MP#A$Fanny and myself, for$3$ we shall both have a right$0$ in$4$ you. 
212:295,26[D  ]| $MP#A$Fanny will$1$ be so$5#1$ truly your sister!" 
212:295,27['  ]| $MP#C$Mary had only to$9$ be grateful and give general$2$ assurances; 
212:295,28['  ]| but she was now very fully purposed to$9$ be the 
212:295,29['  ]| guest of neither brother nor sister many months longer. 
212:295,30[C  ]| "You will$1$ divide your year between London and 
212:295,31[C  ]| Northamptonshire?" 
212:295,32[D  ]| "Yes." 
212:295,33[C  ]| "That's right$2#1$; and in$4$ London, of course$8$, a house of 
212:295,34[C  ]| your own$2$; no$2$ longer with the $MP#ZF$Admiral. My dearest 
212:295,35[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry, the advantage to$4$ you of getting away from the 
212:295,36[C  ]| $MP#ZF$Admiral before$3$ your manners are hurt by$4$ the contagion 
212:295,37[C  ]| of his, before$3$ you have contracted any of his foolish 
212:295,38[C  ]| opinions, or learnt to$9$ sit over your dinner, as if it were 
212:296,01[C  ]| the best blessing of life! ~~ \You\ are not sensible$2#1$ of the 
212:296,02[C  ]| gain$0$, for$3$ your regard$0$ for$4$ him has blinded you; but, in$4$ 
212:296,03[C  ]| my estimation, your marrying early may$1$ be the saving of 
212:296,04[C  ]| you. To$9$ have seen you grow like$4$ the $MP#ZF$Admiral in$4$ word 
212:296,05[C  ]| or deed, look$0$ or gesture, would have broken my heart." 
212:296,06[D  ]| "Well$7$, well$7$, we do not think quite alike here. The 
212:296,07[D  ]| $MP#ZF$Admiral has his faults, but he is a very good man, and 
212:296,08[D  ]| has been more than a father to$4$ me. Few fathers would 
212:296,09[D  ]| have let me have my own$2$ way half so$5#1$ much. You must 
212:296,10[D  ]| not prejudice $MP#A$Fanny against him. I must have them 
212:296,11[D  ]| love$0$ one another." 
212:296,12['  ]| $MP#C$Mary refrained from saying what she felt, that$3$ 
212:296,12@c   | there 
212:296,13@c   | could not be two persons in$4$ existence, whose$6#1$ characters 
212:296,14@c   | and manners were less accordant; time would discover
212:296,15@c   | it to$4$ him; 
212:296,15['  ]| but she could not help$1$ \this\ reflection on$4$ the 
212:296,16['  ]| $MP#ZF$Admiral. 
212:296,16[C  ]| "$MP#D$Henry, I think so$5#1$ highly of $MP#A$Fanny*Price, 
212:296,17[C  ]| that$3$ if I could suppose the next $MP#X$Mrs%*Crawford would have 
212:296,18[C  ]| half the reason$0$ which$6#1$ my poor ill*used aunt had to$9$ abhor 
212:296,19[C  ]| the very name$0$, I would prevent the marriage, if possible; 
212:296,20[C  ]| but I know you, I know that$3$ a wife you \loved\ would be 
212:296,21[C  ]| the happiest of women, and that$3$ even$5$ when you ceased 
212:296,22[C  ]| to$9$ love$1$, she would yet find in$4$ you the liberality and good-breeding 
212:296,23[C  ]| of a gentleman." 
212:296,24@d   | The impossibility of not doing every*thing in$4$ the 
212:296,25@d   | world to$9$ make$1$ $MP#A$Fanny*Price happy, or of ceasing to$9$ love$1$ 
212:296,26@d   | $MP#A$Fanny*Price, 
212:296,26['  ]| was of course$8$ the ground-work of his 
212:296,27['  ]| eloquent answer$0$. 
212:296,28[D  ]| "Had you seen her this morning, $MP#C$Mary," 
212:296,28['  ]| he continued, 
212:296,29[D  ]| "attending with such ineffable sweetness and 
212:296,30[D  ]| patience, to$4$ all the demands$0$ of her aunt's stupidity, 
212:296,31[D  ]| working with her, and for$4$ her, her colour beautifully 
212:296,32[D  ]| heightened as she leant over the work$0$, then returning 
212:296,33[D  ]| to$4$ her seat to$9$ finish$1$ a note$0$ which$6#1$ she was previously 
212:296,34[D  ]| engaged in$4$ writing for$4$ that$6#2$ stupid woman's service, and 
212:296,35[D  ]| all this with such unpretending gentleness, so$5#1$ much as if 
212:296,36[D  ]| it were a matter of course$0$ that$3$ she was not to$9$ have 
212:296,37[D  ]| a moment at her own$2$ command$0$, her hair arranged as 
212:296,38[D  ]| neatly as it always is, and one little curl$0$ falling forward$5$ 
212:297,01[D  ]| as she wrote, which$6#1$ she now and then shook back$5$, and in$4$ 
212:297,02[D  ]| the midst of all this, still$5$ speaking at intervals to$4$ \me\, or 
212:297,03[D  ]| listening, and as if she liked to$9$ listen to$4$ what I said. 
212:297,04[D  ]| Had you seen her so$5#2$, $MP#C$Mary, you would not have implied 
212:297,05[D  ]| the possibility of her power over my heart ever ceasing." 
212:297,06[C  ]| "My dearest $MP#D$Henry," 
212:297,06['  ]| cried $MP#C$Mary, stopping short, and 
212:297,07['  ]| smiling in$4$ his face$0$, 
212:297,07[C  ]| "how glad I am to$9$ see you so$5#1$ much 
212:297,08[C  ]| in$4$ love$0$! It quite delights$1$ me. But what will$1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth 
212:297,09[C  ]| and $MP#I$Julia say?" 
212:297,10[D  ]| "I care$1$ neither what they say, nor what they feel. 
212:297,11[D  ]| They will$1$ now see what sort of woman it is that$6#1$ can 
212:297,12[D  ]| attach me, that$6#1$ can attach a man of sense. I wish$1$ the 
212:297,13[D  ]| discovery may$1$ do them any good. And they will$1$ now 
212:297,14[D  ]| see their cousin treated as she ought to$9$ be, and I wish$1$ 
212:297,15[D  ]| they may$1$ be heartily ashamed of their own$2$ abominable 
212:297,16[D  ]| neglect$0$ and unkindness. They will$1$ be angry," 
212:297,16['  ]| he added, 
212:297,17['  ]| after$4$ a moment's silence$0$, and in$4$ a cooler tone, 
212:297,17[D  ]| "$MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth 
212:297,18[D  ]| will$1$ be very angry. It will$1$ be a bitter pill 
212:297,19[D  ]| to$4$ her; that$6#2$ is, like$4$ other bitter pills, it will$1$ have two 
212:297,20[D  ]| moments ill-flavour, and then be swallowed and forgotten; 
212:297,21[D  ]| for$3$ I am not such a coxcomb as to$9$ suppose her 
212:297,22[D  ]| feelings more lasting than other women's, though \I\ was 
212:297,23[D  ]| the object$0$ of them. Yes, $MP#C$Mary, my $MP#A$Fanny will$1$ feel 
212:297,24[D  ]| a difference indeed, a daily, hourly difference, in$4$ the 
212:297,25[D  ]| behaviour of every being$0$ who$6#1$ approaches her; and it 
212:297,26[D  ]| will$1$ be the completion of my happiness to$9$ know that$3$ 
212:297,27[D  ]| I am the doer of it, that$3$ I am the person to$9$ give the 
212:297,28[D  ]| consequence so$5#1$ justly her due$0$. Now she is dependent, 
212:297,29[D  ]| helpless, friendless, neglected, forgotten." 
212:297,30[C  ]| "Nay, $MP#D$Henry, not by$4$ all, not forgotten by$4$ all, not 
212:297,31[C  ]| friendless or forgotten. Her cousin $MP#B$Edmund never 
212:297,32[C  ]| forgets her." 
212:297,33[D  ]| "$MP#B$Edmund ~~ True, I believe he is (generally speaking) 
212:297,34[D  ]| kind$2$ to$4$ her; and so$5#2$ is $MP#E$Sir*Thomas in$4$ his way, but it is 
212:297,35[D  ]| the way of a rich, superior, longworded, arbitrary uncle. 
212:297,36[D  ]| What can $MP#E$Sir*Thomas and $MP#B$Edmund together do, what \do\ 
212:297,37[D  ]| they do for$4$ her happiness, comfort$0$, honour$0$, and dignity 
212:297,38[D  ]| in$4$ the world to$4$ what I \shall\ do?" 
213:298,01['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford was at Mansfield*Park again the 
213:298,02['  ]| next morning, and at an earlier hour than common$2$ visiting 
213:298,03['  ]| warrants. The two ladies were together in$4$ the 
213:298,04['  ]| breakfast-room, and fortunately for$4$ him, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
213:298,05['  ]| was on$4$ the very point$0$ of quitting it as he entered. She 
213:298,06['  ]| was almost at the door, and not chusing by$4$ any means$0$ 
213:298,07['  ]| to$9$ take so$5#1$ much trouble$0$ in$4$ vain, she still$5$ went on$5$, after$4$ 
213:298,08['  ]| a civil reception, a short sentence about$4$ being$1$ waited 
213:298,09['  ]| for$5$, and a 
213:298,09[F  ]| "Let $MP#E$Sir*Thomas know," 
213:298,09['  ]| to$4$ the servant. 
213:298,10['  ]| $MP#D$Henry, overjoyed to$9$ have her go, bowed and watched 
213:298,11['  ]| her off, and without losing another moment, turned 
213:298,12['  ]| instantly to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and taking out$5$ some letters said, 
213:298,13['  ]| with a most animated look$0$, 
213:298,13[D  ]| "I must acknowledge myself 
213:298,14[D  ]| infinitely obliged to$4$ any creature who$6#1$ gives me such an 
213:298,15[D  ]| opportunity of seeing you alone: I have been wishing 
213:298,16[D  ]| it more than you can have any idea. Knowing as I do 
213:298,17[D  ]| what your feelings as a sister are, I could hardly have 
213:298,18[D  ]| borne that$3$ any*one in$4$ the house should share$1$ with you 
213:298,19[D  ]| in$4$ the first knowledge of the news I now bring. He is 
213:298,20[D  ]| made. Your brother is a Lieutenant. I have the 
213:298,21[D  ]| infinite satisfaction of congratulating you on$4$ your 
213:298,22[D  ]| brother's promotion. Here are the letters which$6#1$ announce 
213:298,23[D  ]| it, this moment come to$4$ hand$0$. You will$1$, perhaps, 
213:298,24[D  ]| like$1$ to$9$ see them." 
213:298,25['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not speak, 
213:298,25@d   | but he did not want$1$ her to$9$ 
213:298,26@d   | speak. To$9$ see the expression of her eyes, the change$0$ 
213:298,27@d   | of her complexion, the progress of her feelings, their 
213:298,28@d   | doubt$0$, confusion, and felicity, was enough. 
213:298,28['  ]| She took the 
213:298,29['  ]| letters as he gave them. The first was from the $MP#ZF$Admiral 
213:298,30['  ]| to$9$ inform his nephew, in$4$ a few words, of his having 
213:298,31['  ]| succeeded in$4$ the object$0$ he had undertaken, the promotion 
213:298,32['  ]| of young $MP#Q$Price, and inclosing two more, one from 
213:298,33['  ]| the Secretary of the First*Lord to$4$ a friend, whom$6#1$ the 
213:299,01['  ]| $MP#ZF$Admiral had set$1$ to$9$ work$1$ in$4$ the business, the other from 
213:299,02['  ]| that$6#2$ friend to$4$ himself, by$4$ which$6#1$ it appeared that$3$ his 
213:299,03['  ]| Lordship had the very great happiness of attending to$4$ 
213:299,04['  ]| the recommendation of $MP#ZE$Sir*Charles, that$3$ $MP#ZE$Sir*Charles was 
213:299,05['  ]| much delighted in$4$ having such an opportunity of proving 
213:299,06['  ]| his regard$0$ for$4$ $MP#ZF$Admiral*Crawford, and that$3$ the circumstance 
213:299,07['  ]| of $MP#Q$Mr%*William*Price's commission as second$2$ 
213:299,08['  ]| Lieutenant of H%*M%*sloop*Thrush, being$1$ made out$5$, was 
213:299,09['  ]| spreading general$2$ joy through$4$ a wide circle of great 
213:299,10['  ]| people. 
213:299,11['  ]| While$3$ her hand$0$ was trembling under these letters, 
213:299,12['  ]| her eye running from one to$4$ the other, and her heart 
213:299,13['  ]| swelling with emotion, $MP#D$Crawford thus continued, with 
213:299,14['  ]| unfeigned eagerness, to$9$ express$1$ his interest$0$ in$4$ the event. 
213:299,15[D  ]| "I will$1$ not talk$1$ of my own$2$ happiness," 
213:299,15['  ]| said he, 
213:299,15[D  ]| "great 
213:299,16[D  ]| as it is, for$3$ I think only of yours. Compared with you, 
213:299,17[D  ]| who$6#2$ has a right$0$ to$9$ be happy? I have almost grudged 
213:299,18[D  ]| myself my own$2$ prior knowledge of what you ought to$9$ 
213:299,19[D  ]| have known before$4$ all the world. I have not lost a 
213:299,20[D  ]| moment, however. The post was late this morning, but 
213:299,21[D  ]| there has not been since, a moment's delay$0$. How 
213:299,22[D  ]| impatient, how anxious, how wild I have been on$4$ the 
213:299,23[D  ]| subject$0$, I will$1$ not attempt$1$ to$9$ describe; how severely 
213:299,24[D  ]| mortified, how cruelly disappointed, in$4$ not having it 
213:299,25[D  ]| finished while$3$ I was in$4$ London! I was kept there from 
213:299,26[D  ]| day to$4$ day in$4$ the hope$0$ of it, for$4$ nothing less dear$2#1$ to$4$ me 
213:299,27[D  ]| than such an object$0$ would have detained me half the 
213:299,28[D  ]| time from Mansfield. But though my uncle entered 
213:299,29[D  ]| into my wishes$0$ with all the warmth I could desire$1$, and 
213:299,30[D  ]| exerted himself immediately, there were difficulties from 
213:299,31[D  ]| the absence of one friend, and the engagements of another, 
213:299,32[D  ]| which$6#1$ at last$0$ I could no$2$ longer bear$1$ to$9$ stay$1$ the end$0$ of, 
213:299,33[D  ]| and knowing in$4$ what good hands I left the cause, I came 
213:299,34[D  ]| away on$4$ Monday, trusting that$3$ many posts would not 
213:299,35[D  ]| pass$1$ before$3$ I should be followed by$4$ such very letters as 
213:299,36[D  ]| these. My uncle, who$6#1$ is the very best man in$4$ the world, 
213:299,37[D  ]| has exerted himself, as I knew he would after$4$ seeing your 
213:299,38[D  ]| brother. He was delighted with him. I would not 
213:300,01[D  ]| allow myself yesterday to$9$ say \how\ delighted, or to$9$ repeat 
213:300,02[D  ]| half that$6#1$ the $MP#ZF$Admiral said in$4$ his praise$0$. I deferred it all, 
213:300,03[D  ]| till his praise$0$ should be proved the praise$0$ of a friend, 
213:300,04[D  ]| as this day \does\ prove it. \Now\ I may$1$ say that$3$ even$5$ 
213:300,05[D  ]| \I\ could not require $MP#Q$William*Price to$9$ excite a greater 
213:300,06[D  ]| interest$0$, or be followed by$4$ warmer wishes$0$ and higher 
213:300,07[D  ]| commendation, than were most voluntarily bestowed by$4$ 
213:300,08[D  ]| my uncle, after$4$ the evening they passed together." 
213:300,09[A  ]| "Has this been all \your\ doing then?" 
213:300,09['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny. 
213:300,10[A  ]| "Good Heaven! how very, very kind$2$! Have you 
213:300,11[A  ]| really ~~ was it by$4$ \your\ desire$0$ ~~ I beg your pardon$0$, but 
213:300,12[A  ]| I am bewildered. Did $MP#ZF$Admiral*Crawford apply? ~~ how 
213:300,13[A  ]| was it? ~~ I am stupified." 
213:300,14['  ]| $MP#D$Henry was most happy to$9$ make$1$ it more intelligible, 
213:300,15['  ]| by$4$ beginning at an earlier stage$0#1$, and explaining very 
213:300,16['  ]| particularly what he had done. 
213:300,16@d   | His last$2$ journey to$4$ 
213:300,17@d   | London had been undertaken with no$2$ other view$0$ than 
213:300,18@d   | that$6#2$ of introducing her brother in$4$ Hill-street, and prevailing 
213:300,19@d   | on$4$ the $MP#ZF$Admiral to$9$ exert whatever interest$0$ he 
213:300,20@d   | might have for$4$ getting him on$5$. This had been his 
213:300,21@d   | business. He had communicated it to$4$ no$2$ creature; he 
213:300,22@d   | had not breathed a syllable of it even$5$ to$4$ $MP#C$Mary; while$4$ 
213:300,23@d   | uncertain of the issue$0$, he could not have borne any 
213:300,24@d   | participation of his feelings, but this had been his business; 
213:300,25['  ]| and he spoke with such a glow of what his solicitude had 
213:300,26['  ]| been, and used such strong expressions, was so$5#1$ abounding 
213:300,27@d   | in$4$ the \deepest\ \interest$0$\, in$4$ \twofold\ \motives\, in$4$ \views\ \and\ 
213:300,28@d   | \wishes$0$\ \more\ \than\ \could\ \be\ \told\, 
213:300,28['  ]| that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could not have 
213:300,29['  ]| remained insensible of his drift, had she been able to$9$ 
213:300,30['  ]| attend; but her heart was so$5#1$ full and her senses still$5$ 
213:300,31['  ]| so$5#1$ astonished, that$3$ she could listen but imperfectly even$5$ 
213:300,32['  ]| to$4$ what he told her of $MP#Q$William, and saying only when he 
213:300,33['  ]| paused, 
213:300,33[A  ]| "How kind$2$! how very kind$2$! Oh! $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
213:300,34[A  ]| we are infinitely obliged to$4$ you. Dearest, dearest 
213:300,35[A  ]| $MP#Q$William!" 
213:300,35['  ]| she jumped up$5$ and moved in$4$ haste towards 
213:300,36['  ]| the door, crying out$5$, 
213:300,36[A  ]| "I will$1$ go to$4$ my uncle. My uncle 
213:300,37[A  ]| ought to$9$ know it as soon as possible." 
213:300,37['  ]| But this could 
213:300,38['  ]| not be suffered. The opportunity was too$5#1$ fair, and his 
213:301,01['  ]| feelings too$5#1$ impatient. He was after$4$ her immediately. 
213:301,02[D  ]| "She must not go, she must allow him five minutes 
213:301,03[D  ]| longer," 
213:301,03['  ]| and he took her hand$0$ and led her back$5$ to$4$ her 
213:301,04['  ]| seat, and was in$4$ the middle of his further explanation, 
213:301,05['  ]| before$3$ she had suspected for$4$ what she was detained. 
213:301,06['  ]| When she did understand it, however, and found herself 
213:301,07['  ]| expected to$9$ believe that$3$ \she\ had created sensations which$6#1$ 
213:301,08['  ]| his heart had never known before$5$, and that$3$ every*thing 
213:301,09['  ]| he had done for$4$ $MP#Q$William, was to$9$ be placed to$4$ the account$0$ 
213:301,10['  ]| of his excessive and unequalled attachment to$4$ her, she 
213:301,11['  ]| was exceedingly distressed, and for$4$ some moments unable 
213:301,12['  ]| to$9$ speak. She considered it 
213:301,12@a   | all as nonsense, as mere 
213:301,13@a   | trifling and gallantry, which$6#1$ meant only to$9$ deceive for$4$ 
213:301,14@a   | the hour; she could not but feel that$3$ it was treating her 
213:301,15@a   | improperly and unworthily, and in$4$ such a way as she 
213:301,16@a   | had not deserved; but it was like$4$ himself, and entirely 
213:301,17@a   | of a piece with what she had seen before$5$; and she would 
213:301,18@a   | not allow herself to$9$ shew$1$ half the displeasure she felt, 
213:301,19@a   | because he had been conferring an obligation, which$6#1$ no$2$ 
213:301,20@a   | want$0$ of delicacy on$4$ his part$0$ could make$1$ a trifle$0$ to$4$ her. 
213:301,21['  ]| While$3$ her heart was still$5$ bounding with joy and gratitude 
213:301,22['  ]| on$4$ $MP#Q$William's behalf, she could not be severely resentful 
213:301,23['  ]| of any*thing that$6#1$ injured only herself; and after$4$ having 
213:301,24['  ]| twice drawn back$5$ her hand$0$, and twice attempted in$4$ vain 
213:301,25['  ]| to$9$ turn$1$ away from him, she got up$5$ and said only, with 
213:301,26['  ]| much agitation, 
213:301,26[A  ]| "Don't, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, pray don't. 
213:301,27[A  ]| I beg you would not. This is a sort of talking which$6#1$ 
213:301,28[A  ]| is very unpleasant to$4$ me. I must go away. I cannot 
213:301,29[A  ]| bear$1$ it." 
213:301,29['  ]| But he was still$5$ talking on$5$, describing his 
213:301,30['  ]| affection, soliciting a return$0$, and, finally, in$4$ words so$5#1$ 
213:301,31['  ]| plain as to$9$ bear$1$ but one meaning even$5$ to$4$ \her\, offering 
213:301,32['  ]| himself, hand$0$, fortune, every*thing to$4$ her acceptance. 
213:301,33@a   | It was so$5#2$; he had said it. 
213:301,33['  ]| Her astonishment and confusion 
213:301,34['  ]| increased; and though still$5$ not knowing how to$9$ 
213:301,35['  ]| suppose him serious$2$, she could hardly stand$1$. He pressed 
213:301,36['  ]| for$4$ an answer$0$. 
213:301,37[A  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, no$7$," 
213:301,37['  ]| she cried, hiding her face$0$. 
213:301,37[A  ]| "This is all 
213:301,38[A  ]| nonsense. Do not distress$1$ me. I can hear no$2$ more of 
213:302,01[A  ]| this. Your kindness to$4$ $MP#Q$William makes me more obliged 
213:302,02[A  ]| to$4$ you than words can express$1$; but I do not want$1$, 
213:302,03[A  ]| I cannot bear$1$, I must not listen to$4$ such ~~ No$7$, no$7$, don't 
213:302,04[A  ]| think of me. But you are \not\ thinking of me. I know 
213:302,05[A  ]| it is all nothing." 
213:302,06['  ]| She had burst$1$ away from him, and at that$6#2$ moment 
213:302,07['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was heard speaking to$4$ a servant in$4$ his way 
213:302,08['  ]| towards the room they were in$4$. It was no$2$ time for$4$ 
213:302,09['  ]| further assurances or entreaty, though to$9$ part$1$ with her 
213:302,10['  ]| at a moment when her modesty alone seemed to$4$ his 
213:302,11['  ]| sanguine and pre-assured mind$0$ to$9$ stand$1$ in$4$ the way of 
213:302,12['  ]| the happiness he sought, was a cruel necessity. ~~ She 
213:302,13['  ]| rushed out$5$ at an opposite door from the one her uncle 
213:302,14['  ]| was approaching, and was walking up$4$ and down$4$ the east*room 
213:302,15['  ]| in$4$ the utmost confusion of contrary feelings, before$3$ 
213:302,16['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's politeness and apologies were over, or he 
213:302,17['  ]| had reached the beginning of the joyful intelligence, 
213:302,18['  ]| which$6#1$ his visitor came to$9$ communicate. 
213:302,19['  ]| She was feeling, thinking, trembling, about$4$ every*thing; ~~ 
213:302,20['  ]| agitated, happy, miserable, infinitely obliged, 
213:302,21['  ]| absolutely angry. 
213:302,21@a   | It was all beyond$4$ belief! He was 
213:302,22@a   | inexcusable, incomprehensible! ~~ But such were his habits, 
213:302,23@a   | that$3$ he could do nothing without a mixture of evil. He 
213:302,24@a   | had previously made her the happiest of human beings, 
213:302,25@a   | and now he had insulted ~~ she knew not what to$9$ say ~~ 
213:302,26@a   | how to$9$ class$1$ or how to$9$ regard$1$ it. She would not have 
213:302,27@a   | him be serious$2$, and yet what could excuse$1$ the use$0$ of such 
213:302,28@a   | words and offers$0$, if they meant but to$9$ trifle$1$? 
213:302,29@a   | But $MP#Q$William was a Lieutenant. ~~ \That$6#2$\ was a fact 
213:302,30@a   | beyond$4$ a doubt$0$ and without an alloy. She would think 
213:302,31@a   | of it for*ever and forget all the rest$0#1$. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford would 
213:302,32@a   | certainly never address$1$ her so$5#2$ again: he must have seen 
213:302,33@a   | how unwelcome it was to$4$ her; and in$4$ that$6#2$ case, how gratefully 
213:302,34@a   | she could esteem$1$ him for$4$ his friendship to$4$ $MP#Q$William! 
213:302,35['  ]| She would not stir farther from the east-room than the 
213:302,36['  ]| head$0$ of the great staircase, till she had satisfied herself of 
213:302,37['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's having left the house; but when convinced 
213:302,38['  ]| of his being$1$ gone, she was eager to$9$ go down$5$ and be with her 
213:303,01['  ]| uncle, and have all the happiness of his joy as well$5$ as her 
213:303,02['  ]| own$2$, and all the benefit of his information or his conjectures$0$ 
213:303,03['  ]| as to$4$ what would now be $MP#Q$William's destination. 
213:303,04['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was as joyful as she could desire$1$, and very kind$2$ 
213:303,05['  ]| and communicative; and she had so$5#1$ comfortable a talk$1$ 
213:303,06['  ]| with him about$4$ $MP#Q$William as to$9$ make$1$ her feel as if nothing 
213:303,07['  ]| had occurred to$9$ vex her, till she found towards the close$0$ 
213:303,08['  ]| that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was engaged to$9$ return$1$ and dine there 
213:303,09['  ]| that$6#2$ very day. 
213:303,09@a   | This was a most unwelcome hearing, for$3$ 
213:303,10@a   | though \he\ might think nothing of what had passed, it 
213:303,11@a   | would be quite distressing to$4$ her to$9$ see him again so$5#1$ soon. 
213:303,12['  ]| She tried to$9$ get the better of it, tried very hard as the 
213:303,13['  ]| dinner hour approached, to$9$ feel and appear as usual; but 
213:303,14['  ]| it was quite impossible for$4$ her not to$9$ look$1$ most shy and 
213:303,15['  ]| uncomfortable when their visitor entered the room. She 
213:303,16['  ]| could not have supposed it in$4$ the power of any concurrence 
213:303,17['  ]| of circumstances to$9$ give her so$5#1$ many painful sensations on$4$ 
213:303,18['  ]| the first day of hearing of $MP#Q$William's promotion. 
213:303,19@a   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was not only in$4$ the room; he was soon 
213:303,20@a   | close$5$ to$4$ her. He had a note$0$ to$9$ deliver from his sister. 
213:303,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not look$1$ at him, but there was no$2$ consciousness 
213:303,22['  ]| of past$2$ folly in$4$ his voice. She opened her note$0$ immediately, 
213:303,23['  ]| glad to$9$ have any*thing to$9$ do, and happy, as she 
213:303,24['  ]| read it, to$9$ feel that$3$ the fidgettings of her aunt $MP#J$Norris, who$6#1$ 
213:303,25['  ]| was also to$9$ dine there, screened her a little from view$0$. 
213:303,26[C  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, for$3$ so$5#2$ I may$1$ now always call$1$ you, to$4$ 
213:303,27[C  ]| the infinite relief of a tongue that$6#1$ has been stumbling at 
213:303,28[C  ]| \$MP#A$Miss*Price\ for$4$ at least the last$2$ six weeks ~~ I cannot let my 
213:303,29[C  ]| brother go without sending you a few lines of general$2$ 
213:303,30[C  ]| congratulation, and giving my most joyful consent$0$ and 
213:303,31[C  ]| approval. ~~ Go on$5$, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, and without fear$0$; 
213:303,32[C  ]| there can be no$2$ difficulties worth naming. I chuse to$9$ 
213:303,33[C  ]| suppose that$3$ the assurance of \my\ consent$0$ will$1$ be something; 
213:303,34[C  ]| so$3$, you may$1$ smile$1$ upon$4$ him with your sweetest 
213:303,35[C  ]| smiles this afternoon, and send him back$5$ to$4$ me even$5$ 
213:303,36[C  ]| happier than he goes. Your's affectionately, 
213:303,37[C  ]| $MP#C$M%*C%" 
213:304,01['  ]| These were not expressions to$9$ do $MP#A$Fanny any good; 
213:304,02['  ]| for$3$ though she read in$4$ too$5#1$ much haste and confusion to$9$ 
213:304,03['  ]| form$1$ the clearest judgment of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's meaning, 
213:304,04@a   | it was evident that$3$ she meant to$9$ compliment$1$ her on$4$ her 
213:304,05@a   | brother's attachment and even$5$ to$9$ \appear\ to$9$ believe it 
213:304,06@a   | serious$2$. She did not know what to$9$ do, or what to$9$ think. 
213:304,07@a   | There was wretchedness in$4$ the idea of its being$1$ serious$2$; 
213:304,08@a   | there was perplexity and agitation every way. She was 
213:304,09@a   | distressed whenever $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford spoke to$4$ her, and he 
213:304,10@a   | spoke to$4$ her much too$5#1$ often; and she was afraid there 
213:304,11@a   | was a something in$4$ his voice and manner in$4$ addressing 
213:304,12@a   | her, very different from what they were when he talked to$4$ 
213:304,13@a   | the others. Her comfort$0$ in$4$ that$6#2$ day's dinner was quite 
213:304,14@a   | destroyed; she could hardly eat any*thing; 
213:304,14['  ]| and when 
213:304,15['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas good*humouredly observed, that$3$ joy had 
213:304,16['  ]| taken away her appetite, she was ready to$9$ sink with 
213:304,17['  ]| shame$0$, from the dread$0$ of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's interpretation; 
213:304,18['  ]| for$3$ though nothing could have tempted her to$9$ turn$1$ her 
213:304,19['  ]| eyes to$4$ the right$2#2$ hand$0$ where he sat, she felt that$3$ \his\ were 
213:304,20['  ]| immediately directed towards her. 
213:304,21['  ]| She was more silent than ever. She would hardly join 
213:304,22['  ]| even$5$ when $MP#Q$William was the subject$0$, for$3$ his commission 
213:304,23['  ]| came all from the right$2#2$ hand$0$ too$5#2$, and there was pain$0$ in$4$ the 
213:304,24['  ]| connection. 
213:304,25['  ]| She thought$1$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram sat longer than ever, and 
213:304,26['  ]| began to$9$ be in$4$ despair$0$ of ever getting away; 
213:304,26@a   | but at last$0$ 
213:304,27@a   | they were in$4$ the drawing-room and she was able to$9$ think 
213:304,28@a   | as she would, while$3$ her aunts finished the subject$0$ of 
213:304,29@a   | $MP#Q$William's appointment in$4$ their own$2$ style. 
213:304,30@a   | $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris seemed as much delighted with the saving it 
213:304,31@a   | would be to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, as with any part$0$ of it. 
213:304,31[J  ]| "\Now\ 
213:304,32[J  ]| $MP#Q$William would be able to$9$ keep himself, which$6#1$ would make$1$ 
213:304,33[J  ]| a vast difference to$4$ his uncle, for$3$ it was unknown how 
213:304,34[J  ]| much he had cost$1$ his uncle; and indeed it would make$1$ 
213:304,35[J  ]| some difference in$4$ \her\ presents$0$ too$5#2$. She was very glad that$3$ 
213:304,36[J  ]| she had given $MP#Q$William what she did at parting, very glad 
213:304,37[J  ]| indeed that$3$ it had been in$4$ her power, without material$2$ 
213:304,38[J  ]| inconvenience just$5$ at that$6#2$ time, to$9$ give him something 
213:305,01[J  ]| rather considerable; that$6#2$ is, for$4$ \her\, with \her\ limited 
213:305,02[J  ]| means$0$, for$3$ now it would all be useful in$4$ helping to$9$ fit$1$ up$5$ his 
213:305,03[J  ]| cabin. She knew he must be at some expense, that$3$ he 
213:305,04[J  ]| would have many things to$9$ buy, though to$9$ be sure his 
213:305,05[J  ]| father and mother would be able to$9$ put him in$4$ the way of 
213:305,06[J  ]| getting every*thing very cheap ~~ but she was very glad 
213:305,07[J  ]| that$3$ she had contributed her mite towards it." 
213:305,08[F  ]| "I am glad you gave him something considerable," 
213:305,09['  ]| said $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, with most unsuspicious calmness ~~ 
213:305,10[F  ]| "for$3$ \I\ gave him only 10L%" 
213:305,11[J  ]| "Indeed!" 
213:305,11['  ]| cried $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, reddening. 
213:305,11[J  ]| "Upon$4$ my 
213:305,12[J  ]| word, he must have gone off with his pockets well$5$ lined! 
213:305,13[J  ]| and at no$2$ expense for$4$ his journey to$4$ London either!" 
213:305,14[F  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas told me 10L% would be enough." 
213:305,15['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris being$1$ not at all inclined to$9$ question$1$ its 
213:305,16['  ]| sufficiency, began to$9$ take the matter in$4$ another point$0$. 
213:305,17[J  ]| "It is amazing," 
213:305,17['  ]| said she, 
213:305,17[J  ]| "how much young people 
213:305,18[J  ]| cost$1$ their friends, what with bringing them up$5$ and putting 
213:305,19[J  ]| them out$5$ in$4$ the world! They little think how much it 
213:305,20[J  ]| comes to$4$, or what their parents, or their uncles and aunts 
213:305,21[J  ]| pay$1$ for$4$ them in$4$ the course$0$ of the year. Now, here are my 
213:305,22[J  ]| sister $MP#P$Price's children; ~~ take them all together, I dare$1#2$ say 
213:305,23[J  ]| nobody would believe what a sum they cost$1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
213:305,24[J  ]| every year, to$9$ say nothing of what \I\ do for$4$ them." 
213:305,25[F  ]| "Very true, sister, as you say. But, poor things! they 
213:305,26[F  ]| cannot help$1$ it; and you know it makes very little 
213:305,27[F  ]| difference to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. $MP#A$Fanny, $MP#Q$William must not forget 
213:305,28[F  ]| my shawl, if he goes to$4$ the East*Indies; and I shall give 
213:305,29[F  ]| him a commission for$4$ any*thing else that$6#1$ is worth having. 
213:305,30[F  ]| I wish$1$ he may$1$ go to$4$ the East*Indies, that$3$ I may$1$ have my 
213:305,31[F  ]| shawl. I think I will$1$ have two shawls, $MP#A$Fanny." 
213:305,32['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, meanwhile, speaking only when she could not 
213:305,33['  ]| help$1$ it, was very earnestly trying$1$ to$9$ understand what 
213:305,34['  ]| $MP#D$Mr% and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford were at. 
213:305,34@a   | There was every*thing in$4$ 
213:305,35@a   | the world \against\ their being$1$ serious$2$, but his words and 
213:305,36@a   | manner. Every*thing natural$2$, probable, reasonable was 
213:305,37@a   | against it; all their habits and ways of thinking, and all 
213:305,38@a   | her own$2$ demerits. ~~ How could \she\ have excited serious$2$ 
213:306,01@a   | attachment in$4$ a man, who$6#1$ had seen so$5#1$ many, and been 
213:306,02@a   | admired by$4$ so$5#1$ many, and flirted with so$5#1$ many, infinitely 
213:306,03@a   | her superiors ~~ who$6#1$ seemed so$5#1$ little open$2$ to$4$ serious$2$ 
213:306,04@a   | impressions, even$5$ where pains had been taken to$9$ please 
213:306,05@a   | him ~~ who$6#1$ thought$1$ so$5#1$ slightly, so$5#1$ carelessly, so$5#1$ unfeelingly 
213:306,06@a   | on$4$ all such points ~~ who$6#1$ was every*thing to$4$ every*body, 
213:306,07@a   | and seemed to$9$ find no*one essential to$4$ him? ~~ And further, 
213:306,08@a   | how could it be supposed that$3$ his sister, with all her high 
213:306,09@a   | and worldly notions of matrimony, would be forwarding 
213:306,10@a   | any*thing of a serious$2$ nature in$4$ such a quarter$0#2$? Nothing 
213:306,11@a   | could be more unnatural in$4$ either. 
213:306,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was ashamed of 
213:306,12['  ]| her own$2$ doubts$0$. 
213:306,12@a   | Every*thing might be possible rather 
213:306,13@a   | than serious$2$ attachment or serious$2$ approbation of it 
213:306,14@a   | toward her. 
213:306,14['  ]| She had quite convinced herself of this 
213:306,15['  ]| before$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford joined them. The 
213:306,16['  ]| difficulty was in$4$ maintaining the conviction quite so$5#1$ 
213:306,17['  ]| absolutely after$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was in$4$ the room; 
213:306,17@a   | for$3$ once 
213:306,18@a   | or twice a look$0$ seemed forced on$4$ her which$6#1$ she did not 
213:306,19@a   | know how to$9$ class$1$ among the common$2$ meaning; in$4$ any 
213:306,20@a   | other man at least, she would have said that$3$ it meant 
213:306,21@a   | something very earnest, very pointed. But she still$5$ tried 
213:306,22@a   | to$9$ believe it no$2$ more than what he might often have 
213:306,23@a   | expressed towards her cousins and fifty other women. 
213:306,24@a   | She thought$1$ he was wishing to$9$ speak to$4$ her unheard by$4$ 
213:306,25@a   | the rest$0#1$. She fancied he was trying$1$ for$4$ it the whole$2$ evening 
213:306,26@a   | at intervals, whenever $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was out$5$ of the room, or 
213:306,27@a   | at all engaged with $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, and she carefully refused 
213:306,28@a   | him every opportunity. 
213:306,29@a   | At last$0$ ~~ 
213:306,29['  ]| it seemed an at last$0$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's nervousness, 
213:306,30['  ]| though not remarkably late, ~~ 
213:306,30@a   | he began to$9$ talk$1$ of going 
213:306,31@a   | away; but the comfort$0$ of the sound$0$ was impaired by$4$ his 
213:306,32@a   | turning to$4$ her the next moment, and saying, 
213:306,32[D  ]| "Have you 
213:306,33[D  ]| nothing to$9$ send to$4$ $MP#C$Mary? No$2$ answer$0$ to$4$ her note$0$? She 
213:306,34[D  ]| will$1$ be disappointed if she receives nothing from you. 
213:306,35[D  ]| Pray write to$4$ her, if it be only a line." 
213:306,36[A  ]| "Oh! yes, certainly," 
213:306,36['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, rising in$4$ haste, the 
213:306,37['  ]| haste of embarrassment and of wanting to$9$ get away ~~ 
213:306,38[A  ]| "I will$1$ write directly." 
213:307,01['  ]| She went accordingly to$4$ the table, where she was in$4$ the 
213:307,02['  ]| habit of writing for$4$ her aunt, and prepared her materials 
213:307,03['  ]| without knowing what in$4$ the world to$9$ say! She had read 
213:307,04['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's note$0$ only once; 
213:307,04@a   | and how to$9$ reply$1$ to$4$ any*thing 
213:307,05@a   | so$5#1$ imperfectly understood was most distressing. 
213:307,06['  ]| Quite unpractised in$4$ such sort of note-writing, had there 
213:307,07['  ]| been time for$4$ scruples and fears as to$4$ style, she would 
213:307,08['  ]| have felt them in$4$ abundance; 
213:307,08@a   | but something must be 
213:307,09@a   | instantly written, 
213:307,09['  ]| and with only one decided feeling, 
213:307,10['  ]| that$6#2$ of wishing not to$9$ appear to$9$ think any*thing really 
213:307,11['  ]| intended, she wrote thus, in$4$ great trembling both of 
213:307,12['  ]| spirits and hand$0$: 
213:307,13[A  ]| "I am very much obliged to$4$ you, my dear$2#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
213:307,14[A  ]| for$4$ your kind$2$ congratulations, as far as they relate to$4$ 
213:307,15[A  ]| my dearest $MP#Q$William. The rest$0#1$ of your note$0$ I know 
213:307,16[A  ]| means$0$ nothing; but I am so$5#1$ unequal to$4$ any*thing of the 
213:307,17[A  ]| sort, that$3$ I hope$1$ you will$1$ excuse$1$ my begging you to$9$ take no$2$ 
213:307,18[A  ]| further notice$0$. I have seen too$5#1$ much of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford not 
213:307,19[A  ]| to$9$ understand his manners; if he understood me as well$5$, 
213:307,20[A  ]| he would, I dare$1#2$ say, behave differently. I do not know 
213:307,21[A  ]| what I write, but it would be a great favour$0$ of you never to$9$ 
213:307,22[A  ]| mention$1$ the subject$0$ again. With thanks for$4$ the honour$0$ of 
213:307,23[A  ]| your note$0$, 
213:307,24[A  ]| I remain, dear$2#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
213:307,25[A  ]| &c%*&c%" 
213:307,26['  ]| The conclusion was scarcely intelligible from increasing 
213:307,27['  ]| fright, for$3$ she found that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, under pretence of 
213:307,28['  ]| receiving the note$0$, was coming towards her. 
213:307,29[D  ]| "You cannot think I mean$1$ to$9$ hurry$1$ you," 
213:307,29['  ]| said he, in$4$ an 
213:307,30['  ]| under voice, perceiving the amazing trepidation with which$6#1$ 
213:307,31['  ]| she made up$5$ the note$0$; 
213:307,31[D  ]| "you cannot think I have any such 
213:307,32[D  ]| object$0$. Do not hurry$1$ yourself, I entreat." 
213:307,33[A  ]| "Oh! I thank you, I have quite done, just$5$ done ~~ it 
213:307,34[A  ]| will$1$ be ready in$4$ a moment ~~ I am very much obliged to$4$ 
213:307,35[A  ]| you ~~ if you will$1$ be so$5#1$ good as to$9$ give \that$6#2$\ to$4$ 
213:307,35[A  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford." 
213:307,36['  ]| The note$0$ was held out$5$ and must be taken; and as she 
213:307,37['  ]| instantly and with averted eyes walked towards the 
213:308,01['  ]| fireplace, where sat the others, he had nothing to$9$ do but to$9$ 
213:308,02['  ]| go in$4$ good earnest. 
213:308,03['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny thought$1$ 
213:308,03@a   | she had never known a day of greater 
213:308,04@a   | agitation, both of pain$0$ and pleasure; but happily the
213:308,05@a   | pleasure was not of a sort to$9$ die$1$ with the day ~~ for$3$ every 
213:308,06@a   | day would restore the knowledge of $MP#Q$William's advancement, 
213:308,07@a   | whereas the pain$0$ she hoped would return$1$ no$2$ more. 
213:308,08@a   | She had no$2$ doubt$0$ that$3$ her note$0$ must appear excessively 
213:308,09@a   | ill-written, that$3$ the language would disgrace$1$ a child, for$3$ 
213:308,10@a   | her distress$0$ had allowed no$2$ arrangement; but at least it 
213:308,11@a   | would assure them both of her being$1$ neither imposed on$5$, 
213:308,12@a   | nor gratified by$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's attentions. 
301:311,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ forgotten $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, when 
301:311,02['  ]| she awoke the next morning; but she remembered the
301:311,03['  ]| purport of her note$0$, and was not less sanguine, as to$4$ 
301:311,04['  ]| its effect$0$, than she had been the night before$5$. 
301:311,04@a   | If $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
301:311,05@a   | would but go away! ~~ That$6#2$ was what she most 
301:311,06@a   | earnestly desired; ~~ go and take his sister with him, as he 
301:311,07@a   | was to$9$ do, and as he returned to$4$ Mansfield on$4$ purpose to$9$ 
301:311,08@a   | do. And why it was not done already, she could not devise, 
301:311,09@a   | for$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford certainly wanted no$2$ delay$0$. ~~ 
301:311,09['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny 
301:311,10['  ]| had hoped, in$4$ the course$0$ of his yesterday's visit$0$, to$9$ hear 
301:311,11['  ]| the day named; 
301:311,11@a   | but he had only spoken of their journey 
301:311,12@a   | as what would take place$0$ ere long. 
301:311,13['  ]| Having so$5#1$ satisfactorily settled the conviction her note$0$ 
301:311,14['  ]| would convey, she could not but be astonished to$9$ see $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
301:311,15['  ]| as she accidentally did, coming up$5$ to$4$ the house 
301:311,16['  ]| again, and at an hour as early as the day before$5$. ~~ 
301:311,16@a   | His 
301:311,17@a   | coming might have nothing to$9$ do with her, but she must 
301:311,18@a   | avoid seeing him if possible; 
301:311,18['  ]| and being$1$ then in$4$ her way 
301:311,19['  ]| up*stairs, she resolved 
301:311,19@a   | there to$9$ remain, during the whole$0$ of 
301:311,20@a   | his visit$0$, unless actually sent for$5$; and as $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was 
301:311,21@a   | still$5$ in$4$ the house, there seemed little danger of her being$1$ 
301:311,22@a   | wanted. 
301:311,23['  ]| She sat some time in$4$ a good deal$0$ of agitation, listening, 
301:311,24['  ]| trembling, and fearing to$9$ be sent for$5$ every moment; but 
301:311,25['  ]| as no$2$ footsteps approached the east*room, she grew 
301:311,26['  ]| gradually composed, could sit down$5$, and be able to$9$ employ 
301:311,27['  ]| herself, and able to$9$ hope$1$ that$3$ 
301:311,27@a   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford had come, 
301:311,28@a   | and would go without her being$1$ obliged to$9$ know any*thing 
301:311,29@a   | of the matter. 
301:312,01['  ]| Nearly half an hour had passed, and she was growing 
301:312,02['  ]| very comfortable, when suddenly the sound$0$ of a step$0$ in$4$ 
301:312,03['  ]| regular approach$0$ was heard ~~ 
301:312,03@a   | a heavy step$0$, an unusual 
301:312,04@a   | step$0$ in$4$ that$6#2$ part$0$ of the house; it was her uncle's; she 
301:312,05@a   | knew it as well$5$ as his voice; 
301:312,05['  ]| she had trembled at it as 
301:312,06['  ]| often, and began to$9$ tremble$1$ again, at the idea of his 
301:312,07['  ]| coming up$5$ to$9$ speak to$4$ her, whatever might be the subject$0$. 
301:312,08@a   | ~~ It was indeed $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, who$6#1$ opened the door, and 
301:312,09@a   | asked if she were there, and if he might come in$5$. The 
301:312,10@a   | terror of his former occasional visits to$4$ that$6#2$ room seemed 
301:312,11@a   | all renewed, and she felt as if he were going to$9$ examine 
301:312,12@a   | her again in$4$ French and English. 
301:312,13['  ]| She was all attention, however, in$4$ placing a chair for$4$ 
301:312,14['  ]| him, and trying$1$ to$9$ appear honoured; and in$4$ her agitation, 
301:312,15['  ]| had quite overlooked the deficiences of her apartment, 
301:312,16['  ]| till he, stopping short as he entered, said, with much 
301:312,17['  ]| surprise$0$, 
301:312,17[E  ]| "Why have you no$2$ fire$0$ to-day?" 
301:312,18['  ]| There was snow on$4$ the ground, and she was sitting in$4$ 
301:312,19['  ]| a shawl. She hesitated. 
301:312,20[A  ]| "I am not cold$2$, Sir ~~ I never sit here long at this time 
301:312,21[A  ]| of year." 
301:312,22[E  ]| "But, ~~ you have a fire$0$ in$4$ general$0$?" 
301:312,23[A  ]| "No$7$, Sir." 
301:312,24[E  ]| "How comes this about$5$; here must be some mistake$0$. 
301:312,25[E  ]| I understood that$3$ you had the use$0$ of this room by$4$ way 
301:312,26[E  ]| of making you perfectly comfortable. ~~ In$4$ your bed-chamber 
301:312,27[E  ]| I know you \cannot\ have a fire$0$. Here is some 
301:312,28[E  ]| great misapprehension which$6#1$ must be rectified. It is 
301:312,29[E  ]| highly unfit for$4$ you to$9$ sit ~~ be it only half an hour a day, 
301:312,30[E  ]| without a fire$0$. You are not strong. You are chilly. 
301:312,31[E  ]| Your aunt cannot be aware of this." 
301:312,32['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny would rather have been silent, but being$1$ obliged 
301:312,33['  ]| to$9$ speak, she could not forbear, in$4$ justice to$4$ the aunt she 
301:312,34['  ]| loved best, from saying something in$4$ which$6#1$ the words 
301:312,35[A  ]| "my aunt $MP#J$Norris" 
301:312,35['  ]| were distinguishable. 
301:312,36[E  ]| "I understand," 
301:312,36['  ]| cried her uncle recollecting himself, 
301:312,37['  ]| and not wanting to$9$ hear more ~~ 
301:312,37[E  ]| "I understand. Your 
301:312,38[E  ]| aunt $MP#J$Norris has always been an advocate, and very judiciously, 
301:313,01[E  ]| for$4$ young people's being$1$ brought up$5$ without 
301:313,02[E  ]| unnecessary indulgences; but there should be moderation 
301:313,03[E  ]| in$4$ every*thing. ~~ She is also very hardy herself, which$6#1$ 
301:313,04[E  ]| of course$8$ will$1$ influence$1$ her in$4$ her opinion of the wants$0$ 
301:313,05[E  ]| of others. And on$4$ another account$0$ too$5#2$, I can perfectly 
301:313,06[E  ]| comprehend. ~~ I know what her sentiments have always 
301:313,07[E  ]| been. The principle was good in$4$ itself, but it may$1$ have 
301:313,08[E  ]| been, and I believe \has\ \been\ carried too$5#1$ far in$4$ your case. 
301:313,09[E  ]| ~~ I am aware that$3$ there has been sometimes, in$4$ some 
301:313,10[E  ]| points, a misplaced distinction; but I think too$5#1$ well$5$ of 
301:313,11[E  ]| you, $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ suppose you will$1$ ever harbour$0$ resentment 
301:313,12[E  ]| on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$. ~~ You have an understanding, which$6#1$ will$1$ 
301:313,13[E  ]| prevent you from receiving things only in$4$ part$0$, and judging 
301:313,14[E  ]| partially by$4$ the event. ~~ You will$1$ take in$4$ the whole$0$ 
301:313,15[E  ]| of the past$0$, you will$1$ consider times, persons, and probabilities, 
301:313,16[E  ]| and you will$1$ feel that$3$ \they\ were not least your 
301:313,17[E  ]| friends who$6#1$ were educating and preparing you for$4$ that$6#2$ 
301:313,18[E  ]| mediocrity of condition$0$ which$6#1$ \seemed\ to$9$ be your lot. ~~ 
301:313,19[E  ]| Though their caution$0$ may$1$ prove eventually unnecessary, 
301:313,20[E  ]| it was kindly meant; and of this you may$1$ be assured, 
301:313,21[E  ]| that$3$ every advantage of affluence will$1$ be doubled by$4$ the 
301:313,22[E  ]| little privations and restrictions that$6#1$ may$1$ have been 
301:313,23[E  ]| imposed. I am sure you will$1$ not disappoint my opinion 
301:313,24[E  ]| of you, by$4$ failing at any time to$9$ treat$1$ your aunt $MP#J$Norris 
301:313,25[E  ]| with the respect$0$ and attention that$6#1$ are due$2$ to$4$ her. 
301:313,26[E  ]| ~~ But enough of this. Sit down$5$, my dear$2#1$. I must 
301:313,27[E  ]| speak to$4$ you for$4$ a few minutes, but I will$1$ not detain 
301:313,28[E  ]| you long." 
301:313,29['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny obeyed, with eyes cast down$5$ and colour rising. 
301:313,30['  ]| ~~ After$4$ a moment's pause$0$, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, trying$1$ to$9$ suppress 
301:313,31['  ]| a smile$0$, went on$5$. 
301:313,32[E  ]| "You are not aware, perhaps, that$3$ I have had a visitor 
301:313,33[E  ]| this morning. ~~ I had not been long in$4$ my own$2$ room, after$4$ 
301:313,34[E  ]| breakfast$0$, when $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was shewn in$5$. ~~ His errand 
301:313,35[E  ]| you may$1$ probably conjecture$1$." 
301:313,36['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's colour grew deeper and deeper; and her uncle 
301:313,37['  ]| perceiving that$3$ she was embarrassed to$4$ a degree that$6#1$ 
301:313,38['  ]| made either speaking or looking up$5$ quite impossible. 
301:314,01['  ]| turned away his own$2$ eyes, and without any farther pause$0$, 
301:314,02['  ]| proceeded in$4$ his account$0$ of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's visit$0$. 
301:314,03@e   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's business had been to$9$ declare himself 
301:314,04@e   | the lover of $MP#A$Fanny, make$1$ decided proposals for$4$ her, and 
301:314,05@e   | intreat the sanction of the uncle, who$6#1$ seemed to$9$ stand$1$ 
301:314,06@e   | in$4$ the place$0$ of her parents; and he had done it all so$5#1$ well$5$, 
301:314,07@e   | so$5#1$ openly, so$5#1$ liberally, so$5#1$ properly, 
301:314,07['  ]| that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, feeling, 
301:314,08['  ]| moreover, his own$2$ replies$0$, and his own$2$ remarks to$9$ have 
301:314,09['  ]| been very much to$4$ the purpose ~~ was exceedingly happy 
301:314,10['  ]| to$9$ give the particulars of their conversation ~~ and, little 
301:314,11['  ]| aware of what was passing in$4$ his niece's mind$0$, conceived 
301:314,12['  ]| that$3$ by$4$ such details he must be gratifying her far more 
301:314,13['  ]| than himself. He talked therefore for$4$ several minutes 
301:314,14['  ]| without $MP#A$Fanny's daring to$9$ interrupt him. ~~ She had hardly 
301:314,15['  ]| even$5$ attained the wish$0$ to$9$ do it. Her mind$0$ was in$4$ too$5#1$ 
301:314,16['  ]| much confusion. She had changed her position, and with 
301:314,17['  ]| her eyes fixed intently on$4$ one of the windows, was listening 
301:314,18['  ]| to$4$ her uncle, in$4$ the utmost perturbation and dismay. ~~ For$4$ 
301:314,19['  ]| a moment he ceased, but she had barely become conscious 
301:314,20['  ]| of it, when, rising from his chair, he said, 
301:314,20[E  ]| "And now, 
301:314,21[E  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, having performed one part$0$ of my commission, 
301:314,22[E  ]| and shewn you every*thing placed on$4$ a basis the most 
301:314,23[E  ]| assured and satisfactory, I may$1$ execute the remainder by$4$ 
301:314,24[E  ]| prevailing on$4$ you to$9$ accompany me down*stairs, where ~~ 
301:314,25[E  ]| though I cannot but presume on$4$ having been no$2$ unacceptable 
301:314,26[E  ]| companion myself, I must submit to$4$ your finding 
301:314,27[E  ]| one still$5$ better worth listening to$4$. ~~ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, as you 
301:314,28[E  ]| have perhaps foreseen, is yet in$4$ the house. He is in$4$ my 
301:314,29[E  ]| room, and hoping to$9$ see you there." 
301:314,30['  ]| There was a look$0$, a start$0$, an exclamation, on$4$ hearing 
301:314,31['  ]| this, which$6#1$ astonished $MP#E$Sir*Thomas; but what was his 
301:314,32['  ]| increase$0$ of astonishment on$4$ hearing her exclaim ~~ 
301:314,32[A  ]| "Oh! 
301:314,33[A  ]| no$7$, Sir, I cannot, indeed I cannot go down$5$ to$4$ him. 
301:314,33[A  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
301:314,34[A  ]| ought to$9$ know ~~ he must know that$3$ ~~ I told 
301:314,35[A  ]| him enough yesterday to$9$ convince him ~~ he spoke to$4$ me 
301:314,36[A  ]| on$4$ this subject$0$ yesterday ~~ and I told him without disguise 
301:314,37[A  ]| that$3$ it was very disagreeable to$4$ me, and quite out$5$ 
301:314,38[A  ]| of my power to$9$ return$1$ his good opinion." 
301:315,01[E  ]| "I do not catch$1$ your meaning," 
301:315,01['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, sitting 
301:315,02['  ]| down$5$ again. ~~ 
301:315,02[E  ]| "Out$5$ of your power to$9$ return$1$ his good 
301:315,03[E  ]| opinion! what is all this? I know he spoke to$4$ you yesterday, 
301:315,04[E  ]| and (as far as I understand), received as much 
301:315,05[E  ]| encouragement to$9$ proceed as a well-judging young woman 
301:315,06[E  ]| could permit herself to$9$ give. I was very much pleased 
301:315,07[E  ]| with what I collected to$9$ have been your behaviour on$4$ 
301:315,08[E  ]| the occasion$0$; it shewed a discretion highly to$9$ be commended. 
301:315,09[E  ]| But now, when he has made his overtures so$5#1$ 
301:315,10[E  ]| properly, and honourably ~~ what are your scruples \now\?" 
301:315,11[A  ]| "You are mistaken, Sir," ~~ 
301:315,11['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny, forced by$4$ the 
301:315,12['  ]| anxiety of the moment even$5$ to$9$ tell her uncle that$3$ he was 
301:315,13['  ]| wrong ~~ 
301:315,13[A  ]| "You are quite mistaken. How could $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
301:315,14[A  ]| say such a thing? I gave him no$2$ encouragement 
301:315,15[A  ]| yesterday ~~ On$4$ the contrary, I told him ~~ I cannot recollect 
301:315,16[A  ]| my exact$2$ words ~~ but I am sure I told him that$3$ I 
301:315,17[A  ]| would not listen to$4$ him, that$3$ it was very unpleasant to$4$ 
301:315,18[A  ]| me in$4$ every respect$0$, and that$3$ I begged him never to$9$ talk$1$ 
301:315,19[A  ]| to$4$ me in$4$ that$6#2$ manner again. ~~ I am sure I said as much 
301:315,20[A  ]| as that$6#2$ and more; and I should have said still$5$ more, ~~ 
301:315,21[A  ]| if I had been quite certain of his meaning any*thing 
301:315,22[A  ]| seriously, but I did not like$1$ to$9$ be ~~ I could not bear$1$ to$9$ be 
301:315,23[A  ]| ~~ imputing more than might be intended. I thought$1$ it 
301:315,24[A  ]| might all pass$1$ for$4$ nothing with \him\." 
301:315,25['  ]| She could say no$2$ more; her breath was almost gone. 
301:315,26[E  ]| "Am I to$9$ understand," 
301:315,26['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, after$4$ a few 
301:315,27['  ]| moments silence$0$, 
301:315,27[E  ]| "that$3$ you mean$1$ to$9$ \refuse\ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford?" 
301:315,28[E  ]| 
301:315,29[A  ]| "Yes, Sir." 
301:315,30[E  ]| "Refuse him?" 
301:315,31[A  ]| "Yes, Sir." 
301:315,32[E  ]| "Refuse $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford! Upon$4$ what plea? For$4$ what 
301:315,33[E  ]| reason$0$?" 
301:315,34[A  ]| "I ~~ I cannot like$1$ him, Sir, well$5$ enough to$9$ marry him." 
301:315,35[E  ]| "This is very strange!" 
301:315,35['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, in$4$ a voice 
301:315,36['  ]| of calm$2$ displeasure. 
301:315,36[E  ]| "There is something in$4$ this which$6#1$ 
301:315,37[E  ]| my comprehension does not reach$1$. Here is a young man 
301:315,38[E  ]| wishing to$9$ pay$1$ his addresses to$4$ you, with every*thing to$9$ 
301:316,01[E  ]| recommend him; not merely situation in$4$ life, fortune, 
301:316,02[E  ]| and character, but with more than common$2$ agreeableness, 
301:316,03[E  ]| with address$0$ and conversation pleasing to$4$ every*body. 
301:316,04[E  ]| And he is not an acquaintance of to-day, you have 
301:316,05[E  ]| now known him some time. His sister, moreover, is your 
301:316,06[E  ]| intimate$2$ friend, and he has been doing \that$6#2$\ for$4$ your 
301:316,07[E  ]| brother, which$6#1$ I should suppose would have been almost 
301:316,08[E  ]| sufficient recommendation to$4$ you, had there been no$2$ 
301:316,09[E  ]| other. It is very uncertain when my interest$0$ might have 
301:316,10[E  ]| got $MP#Q$William on$5$. He has done it already." 
301:316,11[A  ]| "Yes," 
301:316,11['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ a faint$2$ voice, and looking down$5$ 
301:316,12['  ]| with fresh shame$0$; 
301:316,12@a   | and she did feel almost ashamed of 
301:316,13@a   | herself, after$4$ such a picture$0$ as her uncle had drawn, for$4$ 
301:316,14@a   | not liking $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
301:316,15[E  ]| "You must have been aware," 
301:316,15['  ]| continued $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
301:316,16['  ]| presently, 
301:316,16[E  ]| "you must have been some time aware of 
301:316,17[E  ]| a particularity in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's manners to$4$ you. This 
301:316,18[E  ]| cannot have taken you by$4$ surprise$0$. You must have 
301:316,19[E  ]| observed his attentions; and though you always received 
301:316,20[E  ]| them very properly, (I have no$2$ accusation to$9$ make$1$ on$4$ 
301:316,21[E  ]| that$6#2$ head$0$,) I never perceived them to$9$ be unpleasant to$4$ 
301:316,22[E  ]| you. I am half inclined to$9$ think, $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ you do not 
301:316,23[E  ]| quite know your own$2$ feelings." 
301:316,24[A  ]| "Oh! yes, Sir, indeed I do. His attentions were 
301:316,25[A  ]| always ~~ what I did not like$1$." 
301:316,26['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas looked at her with deeper surprise$0$. 
301:316,26[E  ]| "This 
301:316,27[E  ]| is beyond$4$ me," 
301:316,27['  ]| said he. 
301:316,27[E  ]| "This requires explanation. 
301:316,28[E  ]| Young as you are, and having seen scarcely any*one, it is 
301:316,29[E  ]| hardly possible that$3$ your affections ~~" 
301:316,30['  ]| He paused and eyed her fixedly. 
301:316,30@e   | He saw her lips 
301:316,31@e   | formed into a \no$7$\, though the sound$0$ was inarticulate, but 
301:316,32@e   | her face$0$ was like$4$ scarlet. That$6#2$, however, in$4$ so$5#1$ modest 
301:316,33@e   | a girl might be very compatible with innocence; and 
301:316,34@e   | chusing at least to$9$ appear satisfied, 
301:316,34['  ]| he quickly added, 
301:316,35[E  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, I know \that$6#2$\ is quite out$5$ of the question$0$ ~~ quite 
301:316,36[E  ]| impossible. Well$7$, there is nothing more to$9$ be said." 
301:316,37['  ]| And for$4$ a few minutes he did say nothing. He was 
301:316,38['  ]| deep in$4$ thought$0$. His niece was deep in$4$ thought$0$ likewise, 
301:317,01['  ]| trying$1$ to$9$ harden and prepare herself against farther questioning. 
301:317,02@a   | She would rather die$1$ than own$1$ the truth, and 
301:317,03@a   | she hoped by$4$ a little reflection to$9$ fortify herself beyond$4$ 
301:317,04@a   | betraying it. 
301:317,05[E  ]| "Independently of the interest$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
301:317,06[E  ]| \choice$0$\ seemed to$9$ justify," 
301:317,06['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, beginning 
301:317,07['  ]| again, and very composedly, 
301:317,07[E  ]| "his wishing to$9$ marry at 
301:317,08[E  ]| all so$5#1$ early is recommendatory to$4$ me. I am an advocate 
301:317,09[E  ]| for$4$ early marriages, where there are means$0$ in$4$ proportion, 
301:317,10[E  ]| and would have every young man, with a sufficient 
301:317,11[E  ]| income, settle as soon after$4$ four*and*twenty as he can. 
301:317,12[E  ]| This is so$5#1$ much my opinion, that$3$ I am sorry to$9$ think how 
301:317,13[E  ]| little likely my own$2$ eldest son, your cousin, $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram, 
301:317,14[E  ]| is to$9$ marry early; but at present$0#1$, as far as I can judge$1$, 
301:317,15[E  ]| matrimony makes no$2$ part$0$ of his plans or thoughts. I 
301:317,16[E  ]| wish$1$ he were more likely to$9$ fix." 
301:317,16['  ]| Here was a glance$0$ at 
301:317,17['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. 
301:317,17[E  ]| "$MP#B$Edmund I consider from his disposition and 
301:317,18[E  ]| habits as much more likely to$9$ marry early than his 
301:317,19[E  ]| brother. \He\, indeed, I have lately thought$1$ has seen the 
301:317,20[E  ]| woman he could love$1$, which$6#1$, I am convinced, my eldest 
301:317,21[E  ]| son has not. Am I right$2#1$? Do you agree with me, my 
301:317,22[E  ]| dear$2#1$?" 
301:317,23[A  ]| "Yes, Sir." 
301:317,24['  ]| It was gently, but it was calmly said, and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
301:317,25['  ]| was easy on$4$ the score of the cousins. But the removal 
301:317,26['  ]| of his alarm$0$ did his niece no$2$ service; as her unaccountableness 
301:317,27['  ]| was confirmed, his displeasure increased; and 
301:317,28['  ]| getting up$5$ and walking about$4$ the room, with a frown$0$, 
301:317,29['  ]| which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny could picture$1$ to$4$ herself, though she dared 
301:317,30['  ]| not lift up$5$ her eyes, he shortly afterwards, and in$4$ a voice 
301:317,31['  ]| of authority, said, 
301:317,31[E  ]| "Have you any reason$0$, child, to$9$ think 
301:317,32[E  ]| ill of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's temper?" 
301:317,33[A  ]| "No$7$, Sir." 
301:317,34@a   | She longed to$9$ add, "but of his principles I have;"
301:317,34['  ]| but 
301:317,35['  ]| her heart sunk under the appalling prospect of discussion, 
301:317,36['  ]| explanation, and probably non-conviction. 
301:317,36@a   | Her ill*opinion 
301:317,37@a   | of him was founded chiefly on$4$ observations, which$6#1$, for$4$ her 
301:317,38@a   | cousins' sake, she could scarcely dare$1#2$ mention$1$ to$4$ their 
301:318,01@a   | father. $MP#H$Maria and $MP#I$Julia ~~ and especially $MP#H$Maria, were so$5#1$ 
301:318,02@a   | closely implicated in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's misconduct, that$3$ she 
301:318,03@a   | could not give his character, such as she believed it, without 
301:318,04@a   | betraying them. She had hoped that$3$ to$4$ a man like$4$ 
301:318,05@a   | her uncle, so$5#1$ discerning, so$5#1$ honourable, so$5#1$ good, the simple$2$ 
301:318,06@a   | acknowledgment of settled \dislike$0$\ on$4$ her side$0$, would have 
301:318,07@a   | been sufficient. To$4$ her infinite grief she found it was not. 
301:318,08['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas came towards the table where she sat in$4$ 
301:318,09['  ]| trembling wretchedness, and with a good deal$0$ of cold$2$ 
301:318,10['  ]| sternness, said, 
301:318,10[E  ]| "It is of no$2$ use$0$, I perceive, to$9$ talk$1$ to$4$ you. 
301:318,11[E  ]| We had better put an end$0$ to$4$ this most mortifying conference. 
301:318,12[E  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford must not be kept longer waiting. I will$1$, 
301:318,13[E  ]| therefore, only add, as thinking it my duty to$9$ mark$1$ my 
301:318,14[E  ]| opinion of your conduct$0$ ~~ that$3$ you have disappointed 
301:318,15[E  ]| every expectation I had formed, and proved yourself of 
301:318,16[E  ]| a character the very reverse of what I had supposed. 
301:318,17[E  ]| For$3$ I \had\, $MP#A$Fanny, as I think my behaviour must have 
301:318,18[E  ]| shewn, formed a very favourable opinion of you from the 
301:318,19[E  ]| period of my return$0$ to$4$ England. I had thought$1$ you 
301:318,20[E  ]| peculiarly free from wilfulness of temper, self-conceit, and 
301:318,21[E  ]| every tendency to$4$ that$6#2$ independence of spirit, which$6#1$ prevails 
301:318,22[E  ]| so$5#1$ much in$4$ modern days, even$5$ in$4$ young women, and 
301:318,23[E  ]| which$6#1$ in$4$ young women is offensive and disgusting beyond$4$ 
301:318,24[E  ]| all common$2$ offence. But you have now shewn me that$3$ 
301:318,25[E  ]| you can be wilful and perverse, that$3$ you can and will$1$ 
301:318,26[E  ]| decide for$4$ yourself, without any consideration or deference 
301:318,27[E  ]| for$4$ those who$6#1$ have surely some right$0$ to$9$ guide$1$ you ~~ without 
301:318,28[E  ]| even$5$ asking their advice. You have shewn yourself 
301:318,29[E  ]| very, very different from any*thing that$6#1$ I had imagined. 
301:318,30[E  ]| The advantage or disadvantage of your family ~~ of your 
301:318,31[E  ]| parents ~~ your brothers and sisters ~~ never seems to$9$ have 
301:318,32[E  ]| had a moment's share$0$ in$4$ your thoughts on$4$ this occasion$0$. 
301:318,33[E  ]| How \they\ might be benefited, how \they\ must rejoice in$4$ 
301:318,34[E  ]| such an establishment for$4$ you ~~ is nothing to$4$ \you\. You 
301:318,35[E  ]| think only of yourself; and because you do not feel for$4$ 
301:318,36[E  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford exactly what a young, heated fancy$0$ imagines 
301:318,37[E  ]| to$9$ be necessary for$4$ happiness, you resolve$1$ to$9$ refuse him 
301:318,38[E  ]| at once, without wishing even$5$ for$4$ a little time to$9$ consider 
301:319,01[E  ]| of it ~~ a little more time for$4$ cool$2$ consideration, and for$4$ 
301:319,02[E  ]| really examining your own$2$ inclinations ~~ and are, in$4$ a 
301:319,03[E  ]| wild fit$0$ of folly, throwing away from you such an opportunity 
301:319,04[E  ]| of being$1$ settled in$4$ life, eligibly, honourably, nobly 
301:319,05[E  ]| settled, as will$1$, probably, never occur to$4$ you again. 
301:319,06[E  ]| Here is a young man of sense, of character, of temper, of 
301:319,07[E  ]| manners, and of fortune, exceedingly attached to$4$ you, 
301:319,08[E  ]| and seeking your hand$0$ in$4$ the most handsome and disinterested 
301:319,09[E  ]| way; and let me tell you, $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ you may$1$ 
301:319,10[E  ]| live eighteen years longer in$4$ the world, without being$1$ 
301:319,11[E  ]| addressed by$4$ a man of half $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's estate, or 
301:319,12[E  ]| a tenth part$0$ of his merits. Gladly would I have bestowed 
301:319,13[E  ]| either of my own$2$ daughters on$4$ him. $MP#H$Maria is nobly 
301:319,14[E  ]| married ~~ but had $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford sought $MP#I$Julia's hand$0$, I 
301:319,15[E  ]| should have given it to$4$ him with superior and more heartfelt 
301:319,16[E  ]| satisfaction than I gave $MP#H$Maria's to$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth." 
301:319,17['  ]| After$4$ half a moment's pause$0$ ~~ 
301:319,17[E  ]| "And I should have been 
301:319,18[E  ]| very much surprised had either of my daughters, on$4$ 
301:319,19[E  ]| receiving a proposal of marriage at any time, which$6#1$ might 
301:319,20[E  ]| carry with it only \half\ the eligibility of \this\, immediately 
301:319,21[E  ]| and peremptorily, and without paying my opinion or my 
301:319,22[E  ]| regard$0$ the compliment$0$ of any consultation, put a decided 
301:319,23[E  ]| negative on$4$ it. I should have been much surprised, and 
301:319,24[E  ]| much hurt, by$4$ such a proceeding. I should have thought$1$ 
301:319,25[E  ]| it a gross violation of duty and respect$0$. \You\ are not to$9$ be 
301:319,26[E  ]| judged by$4$ the same rule. You do not owe me the duty 
301:319,27[E  ]| of a child. But, $MP#A$Fanny, if your heart can acquit you of 
301:319,28[E  ]| \ingratitude\ ~~" 
301:319,29['  ]| He ceased. $MP#A$Fanny was by$4$ this time crying so$5#1$ bitterly, 
301:319,30['  ]| that$3$ angry as he was, he would not press$1$ that$6#2$ article 
301:319,31['  ]| farther. 
301:319,31@a   | Her heart was almost broke by$4$ such a picture$0$ 
301:319,32@a   | of what she appeared to$4$ him; by$4$ such accusations, so$5#1$ 
301:319,33@a   | heavy, so$5#1$ multiplied, so$5#1$ rising in$4$ dreadful gradation! 
301:319,34@a   | Self-willed, obstinate, selfish, and ungrateful. He thought$1$ 
301:319,35@a   | her all this. She had deceived his expectations; she had 
301:319,36@a   | lost his good opinion. What was to$9$ become of her? 
301:319,37[A  ]| "I am very sorry," 
301:319,37['  ]| said she inarticulately through$4$ her 
301:319,38['  ]| tears, 
301:319,38[A  ]| "I am very sorry indeed." 
301:320,01[E  ]| "Sorry! yes, I hope$1$ you are sorry; and you will$1$ 
301:320,02[E  ]| probably have reason$0$ to$9$ be long sorry for$4$ this day's 
301:320,03[E  ]| transactions." 
301:320,04[A  ]| "If it were possible for$4$ me to$9$ do otherwise," 
301:320,04['  ]| said she 
301:320,05['  ]| with another strong effort, 
301:320,05[A  ]| "but I am so$5#1$ perfectly convinced 
301:320,06[A  ]| that$3$ I could never make$1$ him happy, and that$3$ I 
301:320,07[A  ]| should be miserable myself." 
301:320,08['  ]| Another burst$0$ of tears; but in$4$ spite$8$ of that$6#2$ burst$0$, and 
301:320,09['  ]| in$4$ spite$8$ of that$6#2$ great black word \miserable\, which$6#1$ served 
301:320,10['  ]| to$9$ introduce it, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas began to$9$ think 
301:320,10@e   | a little relenting, 
301:320,11@e   | a little change$0$ of inclination, might have something to$9$ 
301:320,12@e   | do with it; and to$9$ augur favourably from the personal 
301:320,13@e   | intreaty of the young man himself. He knew her to$9$ be 
301:320,14@e   | very timid, and exceedingly nervous; and thought$1$ it not 
301:320,15@e   | improbable that$3$ her mind$0$ might be in$4$ such a state$0$, as a 
301:320,16@e   | little time, a little pressing, a little patience, and a little 
301:320,17@e   | impatience, a judicious mixture of all on$4$ the lover's side$0$, 
301:320,18@e   | might work$1$ their usual effect$0$ on$4$. If the gentleman would 
301:320,19@e   | but persevere, if he had but love$0$ enough to$9$ persevere ~~ 
301:320,20['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas began to$9$ have hopes$0$; and these reflections 
301:320,21['  ]| having passed across$4$ his mind$0$ and cheered it, 
301:320,21[E  ]| "Well$7$," 
301:320,22['  ]| said he, in$4$ a tone of becoming gravity, but of less anger$0$, 
301:320,23[E  ]| "well$7$, child, dry$1$ up$5$ your tears. There is no$2$ use$0$ in$4$ these 
301:320,24[E  ]| tears; they can do no$2$ good. You must now come down*stairs 
301:320,25[E  ]| with me. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford has been kept waiting too$5#1$ 
301:320,26[E  ]| long already. You must give him your own$2$ answer$0$; we 
301:320,27[E  ]| cannot expect him to$9$ be satisfied with less; and you only 
301:320,28[E  ]| can explain to$4$ him the grounds of that$6#2$ misconception of 
301:320,29[E  ]| your sentiments, which$6#1$, unfortunately for$4$ himself, he 
301:320,30[E  ]| certainly has imbibed. I am totally unequal to$4$ it." 
301:320,31['  ]| But $MP#A$Fanny shewed such reluctance, such misery, at the 
301:320,32['  ]| idea of going down$5$ to$4$ him, that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, after$4$ a little 
301:320,33['  ]| consideration, judged it better to$9$ indulge her. 
301:320,33@e   | His hopes$0$ 
301:320,34@e   | from both gentleman and lady suffered a small depression 
301:320,35@e   | in$4$ consequence; but when he looked at his niece, and saw 
301:320,36@e   | the state$0$ of feature and complexion which$6#1$ her crying had 
301:320,37@e   | brought her into, he thought$1$ there might be as much lost 
301:320,38@e   | as gained by$4$ an immediate interview. 
301:320,38['  ]| With a few words, 
301:321,01['  ]| therefore, of no$2$ particular meaning, he walked off by$4$ himself, 
301:321,02['  ]| leaving his poor niece to$9$ sit and cry$1$ over what had 
301:321,03['  ]| passed, with very wretched feelings. 
301:321,04['  ]| Her mind$0$ was all disorder. 
301:321,04@a   | The past$0$, present$0#1$, future, 
301:321,05@a   | every*thing was terrible. But her uncle's anger$0$ gave her 
301:321,06@a   | the severest pain$0$ of all. Selfish and ungrateful! to$9$ have 
301:321,07@a   | appeared so$5#2$ to$4$ him! She was miserable for*ever. She 
301:321,08@a   | had no*one to$9$ take her part$0$, to$9$ counsel$1$, or speak for$4$ her. 
301:321,09@a   | Her only friend was absent. He might have softened his 
301:321,10@a   | father; but all, perhaps all, would think her selfish and 
301:321,11@a   | ungrateful. She might have to$9$ endure the reproach$0$ again 
301:321,12@a   | and again; she might hear it, or see it, or know it to$9$ exist 
301:321,13@a   | for*ever in$4$ every connection about$4$ her. She could not 
301:321,14@a   | but feel some resentment against $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford; yet, if 
301:321,15@a   | he really loved her, and were unhappy too$5#2$! ~~ it was all 
301:321,16@a   | wretchedness together. 
301:321,17['  ]| In$4$ about$4$ a quarter$0#1$ of an hour her uncle returned; she 
301:321,18['  ]| was almost ready to$9$ faint$1$ at the sight of him. He spoke 
301:321,19['  ]| calmly, however, without austerity, without reproach$0$, 
301:321,20['  ]| and she revived a little. There was comfort$0$ too$5#2$ in$4$ his 
301:321,21['  ]| words, as well$5$ as his manner, for$3$ he began with, 
301:321,21[E  ]| "$MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
301:321,22[E  ]| is gone; he has just$5$ left me. I need$1$ not repeat 
301:321,23[E  ]| what has passed. I do not want$1$ to$9$ add to$4$ any*thing you 
301:321,24[E  ]| may$1$ now be feeling, by$4$ an account$0$ of what he has felt. 
301:321,25[E  ]| Suffice it, that$3$ he has behaved in$4$ the most gentlemanlike 
301:321,26[E  ]| and generous manner; and has confirmed me in$4$ a 
301:321,27[E  ]| most favourable opinion of his understanding, heart, and 
301:321,28[E  ]| temper. Upon$4$ my representation of what you were suffering, 
301:321,29[E  ]| he immediately, and with the greatest delicacy, ceased 
301:321,30[E  ]| to$9$ urge to$9$ see you for$4$ the present$0#1$." 
301:321,31['  ]| Here $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ had looked up$5$, looked down$5$ again. 
301:321,32[E  ]| "Of course$8$," 
301:321,32['  ]| continued her uncle, 
301:321,32[E  ]| "it cannot be supposed 
301:321,33[E  ]| but that$3$ he should request$1$ to$9$ speak with you alone, 
301:321,34[E  ]| be it only for$4$ five minutes; a request$0$ too$5#1$ natural$2$, a claim$0$ 
301:321,35[E  ]| too$5#1$ just$2$ to$9$ be denied. But there is no$2$ time fixed, perhaps 
301:321,36[E  ]| to-morrow, or whenever your spirits are composed enough. 
301:321,37[E  ]| For$4$ the present$0#1$ you have only to$9$ tranquillize yourself. 
301:321,38[E  ]| Check$1$ these tears; they do but exhaust you. If, as I am 
301:322,01[E  ]| willing to$9$ suppose, you wish$1$ to$9$ shew$1$ me any observance, 
301:322,02[E  ]| you will$1$ not give way to$4$ these emotions, but endeavour$1$ 
301:322,03[E  ]| to$9$ reason$1$ yourself into a stronger frame of mind$0$. I advise 
301:322,04[E  ]| you to$9$ go out$5$, the air will$1$ do you good; go out$5$ for$4$ an hour 
301:322,05[E  ]| on$4$ the gravel, you will$1$ have the shrubbery to$4$ yourself, 
301:322,06[E  ]| and will$1$ be the better for$4$ air and exercise$0$. And, $MP#A$Fanny, 
301:322,07['  ]| (turning back$5$ again for$4$ a moment) 
301:322,07[E  ]| I shall make$1$ no$2$ mention$0$ 
301:322,08[E  ]| below of what has passed; I shall not even$5$ tell your 
301:322,09[E  ]| aunt $MP#F$Bertram. There is no$2$ occasion$0$ for$4$ spreading the 
301:322,10[E  ]| disappointment; say nothing about$4$ it yourself." 
301:322,11['  ]| This was an order to$9$ be most joyfully obeyed; this was 
301:322,12['  ]| an act$0$ of kindness which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny felt at her heart. 
301:322,12@a   | To$9$ be 
301:322,13@a   | spared from her aunt $MP#J$Norris's interminable reproaches! ~~ 
301:322,14@a   | he left her in$4$ a glow of gratitude. Any*thing might be 
301:322,15@a   | bearable rather than such reproaches. Even$5$ to$9$ see $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
301:322,16@a   | would be less overpowering. 
301:322,17['  ]| She walked out$5$ directly as her uncle recommended, and 
301:322,18['  ]| followed his advice throughout, as far as she could; did 
301:322,19['  ]| check$1$ her tears, did earnestly try to$9$ compose her spirits, 
301:322,20['  ]| and strengthen her mind$0$. She wished to$9$ prove to$4$ him 
301:322,21['  ]| that$3$ she did desire$1$ his comfort$0$, and sought to$9$ regain his 
301:322,22['  ]| favour$0$; and he had given her another strong motive for$4$ 
301:322,23['  ]| exertion, in$4$ keeping the whole$2$ affair from the knowledge 
301:322,24['  ]| of her aunts. 
301:322,24@a   | Not to$9$ excite suspicion by$4$ her look$0$ or 
301:322,25@a   | manner was now an object$0$ worth attaining; and she 
301:322,26@a   | felt equal$2$ to$4$ almost any*thing that$6#1$ might save$1$ her from 
301:322,27@a   | her aunt $MP#J$Norris. 
301:322,28['  ]| She was struck, quite struck, when on$4$ returning from 
301:322,29['  ]| her walk$0$, and going into the east*room again, the first thing 
301:322,30['  ]| which$6#1$ caught her eye was a fire$0$ lighted and burning. 
301:322,30@a   | A 
301:322,31@a   | fire$0$! it seemed too$5#1$ much; just$5$ at that$6#2$ time to$9$ be giving 
301:322,32@a   | her such an indulgence, was exciting even$5$ painful gratitude. 
301:322,33@a   | She wondered that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could have leisure 
301:322,34@a   | to$9$ think of such a trifle$0$ again; 
301:322,34['  ]| but she soon found, from 
301:322,35['  ]| the voluntary information of the housemaid, who$6#1$ came 
301:322,36['  ]| in$5$ to$9$ attend it, that$3$ so$5#2$ it was to$9$ be every day. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
301:322,37['  ]| had given orders$0#1$ for$4$ it. 
301:322,38[A  ]| "I must be a brute indeed, if I can be really ungrateful!" 
301:323,01['  ]| said she in$4$ soliloquy; 
301:323,01[A  ]| "Heaven defend me from being$1$ 
301:323,02[A  ]| ungrateful!" 
301:323,03['  ]| She saw nothing more of her uncle, nor of her aunt $MP#J$Norris, 
301:323,04['  ]| till they met at dinner. 
301:323,04@a   | Her uncle's behaviour to$4$ her was 
301:323,05@a   | then as nearly as possible what it had been before$5$; she 
301:323,06@a   | was sure he did not mean$1$ there should be any change$0$, and 
301:323,07@a   | that$3$ it was only her own$2$ conscience that$6#1$ could fancy$1$ any; 
301:323,08@a   | but her aunt was soon quarrelling with her: and when 
301:323,09@a   | she found how much and how unpleasantly her having 
301:323,10@a   | only walked out$5$ without her aunt's knowledge could be 
301:323,11@a   | dwelt on$5$, she felt all the reason$0$ she had to$9$ bless the kindness 
301:323,12@a   | which$6#1$ saved her from the same spirit of reproach$0$, 
301:323,13@a   | exerted on$4$ a more momentous subject$0$. 
301:323,14[J  ]| "If I had known you were going out$5$, I should have 
301:323,15[J  ]| got you just$5$ to$9$ go as far as my house with some orders$0#1$ 
301:323,16[J  ]| for$4$ $MP#ZZL$Nanny," 
301:323,16['  ]| said she, 
301:323,16[J  ]| "which$6#1$ I have since, to$4$ my very 
301:323,17[J  ]| great inconvenience, been obliged to$9$ go and carry myself. 
301:323,18[J  ]| I could very ill spare$1$ the time, and you might have saved 
301:323,19[J  ]| me the trouble$0$, if you would only have been so$5#1$ good as to$9$ 
301:323,20[J  ]| let us know you were going out$5$. It would have made no$2$ 
301:323,21[J  ]| difference to$4$ you, I suppose, whether you had walked in$4$ 
301:323,22[J  ]| the shrubbery, or gone to$4$ my house." 
301:323,23[E  ]| "I recommended the shrubbery to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny as the dryest 
301:323,24[E  ]| place$0$," 
301:323,24['  ]| said $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. 
301:323,25[J  ]| "Oh!" 
301:323,25['  ]| said $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris with a moment's check$0$, 
301:323,25[J  ]| "that$6#2$ 
301:323,26[J  ]| was very kind$2$ of you, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas; but you do not know 
301:323,27[J  ]| how dry$2$ the path is to$4$ my house. $MP#A$Fanny would have 
301:323,28[J  ]| had quite as good a walk$0$ there, I assure you; with the 
301:323,29[J  ]| advantage of being$1$ of some use$0$, and obliging her aunt: 
301:323,30[J  ]| it is all her fault. If she would but have let us know she 
301:323,31[J  ]| was going out$5$ ~~ but there is a something about$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
301:323,32[J  ]| I have often observed it before$5$, ~~ she likes to$9$ go her own$2$ 
301:323,33[J  ]| way to$9$ work$1$; she does not like$1$ to$9$ be dictated to$5$; she 
301:323,34[J  ]| takes her own$2$ independent walk$0$ whenever she can; she 
301:323,35[J  ]| certainly has a little spirit of secrecy, and independence, 
301:323,36[J  ]| and nonsense, about$4$ her, which$6#1$ I would advise her to$9$ get 
301:323,37[J  ]| the better of." 
301:323,38['  ]| As a general$2$ reflection on$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas thought$1$ 
301:324,01['  ]| nothing could be more unjust, though he had been so$5#1$ 
301:324,02['  ]| lately expressing the same sentiments himself, and he 
301:324,03['  ]| tried to$9$ turn$1$ the conversation; tried repeatedly before$3$ 
301:324,04['  ]| he could succeed; for$3$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris had not discernment 
301:324,05['  ]| enough to$9$ perceive, either now, or at any other time, to$4$ 
301:324,06['  ]| what degree he thought$1$ well$5$ of his niece, or how very far 
301:324,07['  ]| he was from wishing to$9$ have his own$2$ children's merits 
301:324,08['  ]| set$1$ off by$4$ the depreciation of hers. She was talking \at\ 
301:324,09['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, and resenting this private$2$ walk$0$ half through$4$ the 
301:324,10['  ]| dinner. 
301:324,11['  ]| It was over, however, at last$0$; and the evening set$1$ in$5$ 
301:324,12['  ]| with more composure to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and more cheerfulness 
301:324,13['  ]| of spirits than she could have hoped for$4$ after$4$ so$5#1$ stormy 
301:324,14['  ]| a morning; 
301:324,14@a   | but she trusted, in$4$ the first place$0$, that$3$ she 
301:324,15@a   | had done right$0$, that$3$ her judgment had not misled her; 
301:324,16@a   | for$4$ the purity of her intentions she could answer$1$; and 
301:324,17@a   | she was willing to$9$ hope$1$, secondly, that$3$ her uncle's displeasure 
301:324,18@a   | was abating, and would abate farther as he considered 
301:324,19@a   | the matter with more impartiality, and felt, as 
301:324,20@a   | a good man must feel, how wretched, and how unpardonable, 
301:324,21@a   | how hopeless and how wicked it was, to$9$ marry 
301:324,22@a   | without affection. 
301:324,23@a   | When the meeting with which$6#1$ she was threatened for$4$ 
301:324,24@a   | the morrow was past$1$, she could not but flatter herself 
301:324,25@a   | that$3$ the subject$0$ would be finally concluded, and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
301:324,26@a   | once gone from Mansfield, that$3$ every*thing would 
301:324,27@a   | soon be as if no$2$ such subject$0$ had existed. She would not, 
301:324,28@a   | could not believe, that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's affection for$4$ her 
301:324,29@a   | could distress$1$ him long; his mind$0$ was not of that$6#2$ sort. 
301:324,30@a   | London would soon bring its cure$0$. In$4$ London he would 
301:324,31@a   | soon learn to$9$ wonder$1$ at his infatuation, and be thankful 
301:324,32@a   | for$4$ the right$2#1$ reason$0$ in$4$ her, which$6#1$ had saved him from its 
301:324,33@a   | evil consequences. 
301:324,34['  ]| While$3$ $MP#A$Fanny's mind$0$ was engaged in$4$ these sort of hopes$0$, 
301:324,35['  ]| her uncle was soon after$4$ tea called out$5$ of the room; an 
301:324,36['  ]| occurrence too$5#1$ common$2$ to$9$ strike her, and she thought$1$ 
301:324,37['  ]| nothing of it till the butler re-appeared ten minutes afterwards, 
301:324,38['  ]| and advancing decidedly towards herself, said, 
301:325,01[W  ]| "$MP#E$Sir*Thomas wishes$1$ to$9$ speak with you, Ma'am, in$4$ his 
301:325,02[W  ]| own$2$ room." 
301:325,02['  ]| Then it occurred to$4$ her what might be going 
301:325,03['  ]| on$5$; a suspicion rushed over her mind$0$ which$6#1$ drove the 
301:325,04['  ]| colour from her cheeks; but instantly rising, she was 
301:325,05['  ]| preparing to$9$ obey, when $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris called out$5$, 
301:325,05[J  ]| "Stay$1$, 
301:325,06[J  ]| stay$1$, $MP#A$Fanny! what are you about$4$? ~~ where are you going? 
301:325,07[J  ]| ~~ don't be in$4$ such a hurry$0$. Depend upon$4$ it, it is not you 
301:325,08[J  ]| that$6#1$ are wanted; depend upon$4$ it it is me; 
301:325,08['  ]| (looking at the 
301:325,09['  ]| butler) 
301:325,09[J  ]| but you are so$5#1$ very eager to$9$ put yourself forward$5$. 
301:325,10[J  ]| What should $MP#E$Sir*Thomas want$1$ you for$4$? It is me, $MP#W$Baddeley, 
301:325,11[J  ]| you mean$1$; I am coming this moment. You mean$1$ 
301:325,12[J  ]| me, $MP#W$Baddeley, I am sure; $MP#E$Sir*Thomas wants$1$ me, not 
301:325,12[J  ]| $MP#A$Miss*Price." 
301:325,13[J  ]| 
301:325,14['  ]| But $MP#W$Baddeley was stout. 
301:325,14[W  ]| "No$7$, Ma'am, it is $MP#A$Miss*Price, 
301:325,15[W  ]| I am certain of its being$1$ $MP#A$Miss*Price." 
301:325,15['  ]| And there was a 
301:325,16['  ]| half smile$0$ with the words which$6#1$ meant, 
301:325,16@w   | "I do not think 
301:325,17@w   | \you\ would answer$1$ the purpose at all." 
301:325,18['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, much discontented, was obliged to$9$ compose 
301:325,19['  ]| herself to$9$ work$1$ again; and $MP#A$Fanny, walking off in$4$ 
301:325,20['  ]| agitating consciousness, found herself, as she anticipated, 
301:325,21['  ]| in$4$ another minute$0$ alone with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
302:326,01['  ]| The conference was neither so$5#1$ short, nor so$5#1$ conclusive, 
302:326,02['  ]| as the lady had designed. The gentleman was not so$5#1$ 
302:326,03['  ]| easily satisfied. He had all the disposition to$9$ persevere 
302:326,04['  ]| that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could wish$1$ him. He had vanity, which$6#1$ 
302:326,05['  ]| strongly inclined him, in$4$ the first place$0$, to$9$ think she did 
302:326,06['  ]| love$1$ him, though she might not know it herself; and 
302:326,07['  ]| which$6#1$, secondly, when constrained at last$0$ to$9$ admit that$3$ 
302:326,08['  ]| she did know her own$2$ present$2$ feelings, convinced him 
302:326,09['  ]| that$3$ he should be able in$4$ time to$9$ make$1$ those feelings what 
302:326,10['  ]| he wished. 
302:326,11['  ]| He was in$4$ love$0$, very much in$4$ love$0$; and it was a love$0$ 
302:326,12['  ]| which$6#1$, operating on$4$ an active, sanguine spirit, of more 
302:326,13['  ]| warmth than delicacy, made her affection appear of 
302:326,14['  ]| greater consequence, because it was withheld, and determined 
302:326,15['  ]| him to$9$ have the glory$0$, as well$5$ as the felicity, of 
302:326,16['  ]| forcing her to$9$ love$1$ him. 
302:326,17@d   | He would not despair$1$: he would not desist. He had 
302:326,18@d   | every well-grounded reason$0$ for$4$ solid attachment; he 
302:326,19@d   | knew her to$9$ have all the worth that$6#1$ could justify the 
302:326,20@d   | warmest hopes$0$ of lasting happiness with her; her conduct$0$ 
302:326,21@d   | at this very time, by$4$ speaking the disinterestedness 
302:326,22@d   | and delicacy of her character (qualities which$6#1$ he believed 
302:326,23@d   | most rare indeed), was of a sort to$9$ heighten all his wishes$0$, 
302:326,24@d   | and confirm all his resolutions. 
302:326,24['  ]| He knew not that$3$ he had 
302:326,25['  ]| a pre-engaged heart to$9$ attack$1$. Of \that$6#2$\, he had no$2$ suspicion. 
302:326,26@d   | He considered her rather as one who$6#1$ had never 
302:326,27@d   | thought$1$ on$4$ the subject$0$ enough to$9$ be in$4$ danger; who$6#1$ had 
302:326,28@d   | been guarded by$4$ youth, a youth of mind$0$ as lovely as of 
302:326,29@d   | person; whose$6#1$ modesty had prevented her from understanding 
302:326,30@d   | his attentions, and who$6#1$ was still$5$ overpowered 
302:326,31@d   | by$4$ the suddenness of addresses so$5#1$ wholly unexpected, 
302:326,32@d   | and the novelty of a situation which$6#1$ her fancy$0$ had never 
302:326,33@d   | taken into account$0$. 
302:327,01@d   | Must it not follow of course$8$, that$3$ when he was understood, 
302:327,02@d   | he should succeed? ~~ 
302:327,02['  ]| he believed it fully. 
302:327,02@d   | Love$0$ 
302:327,03@d   | such as his, in$4$ a man like$4$ himself, must with perseverance 
302:327,04@d   | secure$2$ a return$0$, and at no$2$ great distance$0$; 
302:327,04['  ]| and he had so$5#1$ 
302:327,05['  ]| much delight$0$ in$4$ the idea of obliging her to$9$ love$1$ him in$4$ 
302:327,06['  ]| a very short time, that$3$ her not loving him now was 
302:327,07['  ]| scarcely regretted. A little difficulty to$9$ be overcome, 
302:327,08['  ]| was no$2$ evil to$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford. He rather derived spirits 
302:327,09['  ]| from it. He had been apt to$9$ gain$1$ hearts too$5#1$ easily. His 
302:327,10['  ]| situation was new and animating. 
302:327,11['  ]| To$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, however, who$6#1$ had known too$5#1$ much opposition 
302:327,12['  ]| all her life, to$9$ find any charm$0$ in$4$ it, all this was unintelligible. 
302:327,13@a   | She found that$3$ he did mean$1$ to$9$ persevere; 
302:327,14@a   | but how he could, after$4$ such language from her as she felt 
302:327,15@a   | herself obliged to$9$ use$1$, was not to$9$ be understood. She 
302:327,16@a   | told him, that$3$ she did not love$1$ him, could not love$1$ him, 
302:327,17@a   | was sure she never should love$1$ him: that$3$ such a change$0$ 
302:327,18@a   | was quite impossible, that$3$ the subject$0$ was most painful 
302:327,19@a   | to$4$ her, that$3$ she must intreat him never to$9$ mention$1$ it 
302:327,20@a   | again, to$9$ allow her to$9$ leave$1$ him at once, and let it be considered 
302:327,21@a   | as concluded for*ever. 
302:327,21['  ]| And when farther pressed, 
302:327,22['  ]| had added, that$3$ 
302:327,22@a   | in$4$ her opinion their dispositions were so$5#1$ 
302:327,23@a   | totally dissimilar, as to$9$ make$1$ mutual affection incompatible; 
302:327,24@a   | and that$3$ they were unfitted for$4$ each other by$4$ 
302:327,25@a   | nature, education, and habit. All this she had said, and 
302:327,26@a   | with the earnestness of sincerity; yet this was not 
302:327,27@a   | enough, for$3$ he immediately denied there being$1$ anything 
302:327,28@a   | uncongenial in$4$ their characters, or anything unfriendly 
302:327,29@a   | in$4$ their situations; and positively declared, that$3$ he 
302:327,30@a   | would still$5$ love$1$, and still$5$ hope$1$! 
302:327,31['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny knew her own$2$ meaning, but was no$2$ judge$0$ of her 
302:327,32['  ]| own$2$ manner. Her manner was incurably gentle, and she 
302:327,33['  ]| was not aware how much it concealed the sternness of her 
302:327,34['  ]| purpose. Her diffidence, gratitude, and softness, made 
302:327,35['  ]| every expression of indifference seem almost an effort of 
302:327,36['  ]| self-denial; seem at least, to$9$ be giving nearly as much 
302:327,37['  ]| pain$0$ to$4$ herself as to$4$ him. 
302:327,37@a   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was no$2$ longer 
302:327,38@a   | the $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford who$6#1$, as the clandestine, insidious, 
302:328,01@a   | treacherous admirer of $MP#H$Maria*Bertram, had been her 
302:328,02@a   | abhorrence, whom$6#1$ she had hated to$9$ see or to$9$ speak to$4$, in$4$ 
302:328,03@a   | whom$6#1$ she could believe no$2$ good quality to$9$ exist, and 
302:328,04@a   | whose$6#1$ power, even$5$ of being$1$ agreeable, she had barely 
302:328,05@a   | acknowledged. He was now the $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford who$6#1$ was 
302:328,06@a   | addressing herself with ardent, disinterested, love$0$; whose$6#1$ 
302:328,07@a   | feelings were apparently become all that$6#1$ was honourable 
302:328,08@a   | and upright, whose$6#1$ views of happiness were all fixed on$4$ 
302:328,09@a   | a marriage of attachment; who$6#1$ was pouring out$5$ his sense 
302:328,10@a   | of her merits, describing and describing again his affection, 
302:328,11@a   | proving, as far as words could prove it, and in$4$ the 
302:328,12@a   | language, tone, and spirit of a man of talent too$5#2$, that$3$ he 
302:328,13@a   | sought her for$4$ her gentleness, and her goodness; and to$9$ 
302:328,14@a   | complete$1$ the whole$0$, he was now the $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford who$6#1$ 
302:328,15@a   | had procured $MP#Q$William's promotion! 
302:328,16['  ]| Here was a change$0$! and here were claims which$6#1$ could 
302:328,17['  ]| not but operate. She might have disdained him in$4$ all 
302:328,18['  ]| the dignity of angry virtue, in$4$ the grounds of Sotherton, 
302:328,19['  ]| or the theatre at Mansfield*Park; but he approached her 
302:328,20['  ]| now with rights that$6#1$ demanded different treatment. 
302:328,20@a   | She 
302:328,21@a   | must be courteous, and she must be compassionate. She 
302:328,22@a   | must have a sensation$0#1$ of being$1$ honoured, and whether 
302:328,23@a   | thinking of herself or her brother, she must have a strong 
302:328,24@a   | feeling of gratitude. 
302:328,24['  ]| The effect$0$ of the whole$0$ was a manner 
302:328,25['  ]| so$5#1$ pitying and agitated, and words intermingled with her 
302:328,26['  ]| refusal so$5#1$ expressive of obligation and concern$0$, that$3$ to$4$ 
302:328,27['  ]| a temper of vanity and hope$0$ like$4$ $MP#D$Crawford's, the truth, 
302:328,28['  ]| or at least the strength of her indifference, might well$5$ be 
302:328,29['  ]| questionable; and he was not so$5#1$ irrational as $MP#A$Fanny considered 
302:328,30['  ]| him, in$4$ the professions of persevering, assiduous, 
302:328,31['  ]| and not desponding attachment which$6#1$ closed the interview. 
302:328,32['  ]| It was with reluctance that$3$ he suffered her to$9$ go, but 
302:328,33['  ]| there was no$2$ look$0$ of despair$0$ in$4$ parting to$9$ bely his words, 
302:328,34['  ]| or give her hopes$0$ of his being$1$ less unreasonable than he 
302:328,35['  ]| professed himself. 
302:328,36['  ]| Now she was angry. 
302:328,36@a   | Some resentment did arise at 
302:328,37@a   | a perseverance so$5#1$ selfish and ungenerous. Here was again 
302:328,38@a   | a want$0$ of delicacy and regard$0$ for$4$ others which$6#1$ had formerly 
302:329,01@a   | so$5#1$ struck and disgusted her. Here was again a 
302:329,02@a   | something of the same $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford whom$6#1$ she had so$5#1$ 
302:329,03@a   | reprobated before$5$. How evidently was there a gross want$0$ 
302:329,04@a   | of feeling and humanity where his own$2$ pleasure was concerned ~~ 
302:329,05@a   | And, alas! how always known no$2$ principle to$9$ 
302:329,06@a   | supply$1$ as a duty what the heart was deficient in$4$. Had 
302:329,07@a   | her own$2$ affections been as free ~~ as perhaps they ought 
302:329,08@a   | to$9$ have been ~~ he never could have engaged them. 
302:329,09['  ]| So$5#2$ thought$1$ $MP#A$Fanny in$4$ good truth and sober sadness, as 
302:329,10['  ]| she sat musing over that$6#2$ too$5#1$ great indulgence and luxury 
302:329,11['  ]| of a fire$0$ upstairs ~~ wondering at the past$0$ and present$0#1$, 
302:329,12['  ]| wondering at what was yet to$9$ come, and in$4$ a nervous 
302:329,13['  ]| agitation which$6#1$ made nothing clear$2$ to$4$ her but the persuasion 
302:329,14['  ]| of her being$1$ never under any circumstances able 
302:329,15['  ]| to$9$ love$1$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, and the felicity of having a fire$0$ to$9$ 
302:329,16['  ]| sit over and think of it. 
302:329,17['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was obliged or obliged himself to$9$ wait till 
302:329,18['  ]| the morrow for$4$ a knowledge of what had passed between 
302:329,19['  ]| the young people. He then saw $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, and received 
302:329,20['  ]| his account$0$. ~~ 
302:329,20@e   | The first feeling was disappointment; 
302:329,21@e   | he had hoped better things; he had thought$1$ that$3$ an hour's 
302:329,22@e   | intreaty from a young man like$4$ $MP#D$Crawford could not have 
302:329,23@e   | worked so$5#1$ little change$0$ on$4$ a gentle tempered girl like$4$ 
302:329,24@e   | $MP#A$Fanny; but there was speedy comfort$0$ in$4$ the determined 
302:329,25@e   | view$0$ and sanguine perseverance of the lover; 
302:329,25['  ]| and when 
302:329,26['  ]| seeing such confidence of success in$4$ the principal$0$, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
302:329,27['  ]| was soon able to$9$ depend on$4$ it himself. 
302:329,28['  ]| Nothing was omitted, on$4$ his side$0$, of civility, compliment$0$, 
302:329,29['  ]| or kindness, that$6#1$ might assist the plan. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
302:329,30['  ]| steadiness was honoured, and $MP#A$Fanny was praised, 
302:329,31['  ]| and the connection was still$5$ the most desirable in$4$ the 
302:329,32['  ]| world. 
302:329,32@e   | At Mansfield*Park $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford would always 
302:329,33@e   | be welcome$2$; he had only to$9$ consult his own$2$ judgment 
302:329,34@e   | and feelings as to$4$ the frequency of his visits, at present$0#1$ 
302:329,35@e   | or in$4$ future. In$4$ all his niece's family and friends there 
302:329,36@e   | could be but one opinion, one wish$0$ on$4$ the subject$0$; the 
302:329,37@e   | influence$0$ of all who$6#1$ loved her must incline one way. 
302:329,38['  ]| Every*thing was said that$6#1$ could encourage, every 
302:330,01['  ]| encouragement received with grateful joy, and the gentlemen 
302:330,02['  ]| parted the best of friends. 
302:330,03['  ]| Satisfied that$3$ the cause was now on$4$ a footing the most 
302:330,04['  ]| proper and hopeful, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas resolved to$9$ abstain from 
302:330,05['  ]| all farther importunity with his niece, and to$9$ shew$1$ no$2$ 
302:330,06['  ]| open$2$ interference. Upon$4$ her disposition he believed kindness 
302:330,07['  ]| might be the best way of working. Intreaty should 
302:330,08['  ]| be from one quarter$0#2$ only. The forbearance of her family 
302:330,09['  ]| on$4$ a point$0$, respecting which$6#1$ she could be in$4$ no$2$ doubt$0$ of 
302:330,10['  ]| their wishes$0$, might be their surest means$0$ of forwarding it. 
302:330,11['  ]| Accordingly, on$4$ this principle $MP#E$Sir*Thomas took the first 
302:330,12['  ]| opportunity of saying to$4$ her, with a mild gravity, intended 
302:330,13['  ]| to$9$ be overcoming, 
302:330,13[E  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#A$Fanny, I have seen $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
302:330,14[E  ]| again, and learn from him exactly how matters stand$1$ 
302:330,15[E  ]| between you. He is a most extraordinary young man, 
302:330,16[E  ]| and whatever be the event, you must feel that$3$ you have 
302:330,17[E  ]| created an attachment of no$2$ common$2$ character; though, 
302:330,18[E  ]| young as you are, and little acquainted with the transient, 
302:330,19[E  ]| varying, unsteady nature of love$0$, as it generally exists, 
302:330,20[E  ]| you cannot be struck as I am with all that$6#1$ is wonderful 
302:330,21[E  ]| in$4$ a perseverance of this sort, against discouragement. 
302:330,22[E  ]| With him, it is entirely a matter of feeling; he claims no$2$ 
302:330,23[E  ]| merit$0$ in$4$ it, perhaps is entitled to$4$ none. Yet, having 
302:330,24[E  ]| chosen so$5#1$ well$5$, his constancy has a respectable stamp. 
302:330,25[E  ]| Had his choice$0$ been less unexceptionable, I should have 
302:330,26[E  ]| condemned his persevering." 
302:330,27[A  ]| "Indeed, Sir," 
302:330,27['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, 
302:330,27[A  ]| "I am very sorry that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
302:330,28[A  ]| should continue to$9$ ~~ I know that$3$ it is paying 
302:330,29[A  ]| me a very great compliment$0$, and I feel most undeservedly 
302:330,30[A  ]| honoured, but I am so$5#1$ perfectly convinced, and I have 
302:330,31[A  ]| told him so$5#2$, that$3$ it never will$1$ be in$4$ my power ~~" 
302:330,32[E  ]| "My dear$2#1$," 
302:330,32['  ]| interrupted $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
302:330,32[E  ]| "there is no$2$ occasion$0$ 
302:330,33[E  ]| for$4$ this. Your feelings are as well$5$ known to$4$ me, as 
302:330,34[E  ]| my wishes$0$ and regrets must be to$4$ you. There is nothing 
302:330,35[E  ]| more to$9$ be said or done. From this hour, the subject$0$ is 
302:330,36[E  ]| never to$9$ be revived between us. You will$1$ have nothing 
302:330,37[E  ]| to$9$ fear$1$, or to$9$ be agitated about$5$. You cannot suppose me 
302:330,38[E  ]| capable of trying$1$ to$9$ persuade you to$9$ marry against your 
302:331,01[E  ]| inclinations. Your happiness and advantage are all that$6#1$ 
302:331,02[E  ]| I have in$4$ view$0$, and nothing is required of you but to$9$ bear$1$ 
302:331,03[E  ]| with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's endeavours$0$ to$9$ convince you, that$3$ they 
302:331,04[E  ]| may$1$ not be incompatible with his. He proceeds at his 
302:331,05[E  ]| own$2$ risk$0$. You are on$4$ safe ground. I have engaged for$4$ 
302:331,06[E  ]| your seeing him whenever he calls$1$, as you might have 
302:331,07[E  ]| done, had nothing of this sort occurred. You will$1$ see him 
302:331,08[E  ]| with the rest$0#1$ of us, in$4$ the same manner, and as much as 
302:331,09[E  ]| you can, dismissing the recollection of every*thing unpleasant. 
302:331,10[E  ]| He leaves$1$ Northamptonshire so$5#1$ soon, that$3$ even$5$ 
302:331,11[E  ]| this slight$2$ sacrifice$0$ cannot be often demanded. The 
302:331,12[E  ]| future must be very uncertain. And now, my dear$2#1$ 
302:331,13[E  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, this subject$0$ is closed between us." 
302:331,14['  ]| The promised departure was all that$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny could think 
302:331,15['  ]| of with much satisfaction. 
302:331,15@a   | Her uncle's kind$2$ expressions, 
302:331,16@a   | however, and forbearing manner, were sensibly felt; and 
302:331,17@a   | when she considered how much of the truth was unknown 
302:331,18@a   | to$4$ him, she believed she had no$2$ right$0$ to$9$ wonder$1$ at the 
302:331,19@a   | line of conduct$0$ he pursued. He who$6#1$ had married a 
302:331,20@a   | daughter to$4$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth. Romantic delicacy was certainly 
302:331,21@a   | not to$9$ be expected from him. She must do her 
302:331,22@a   | duty, and trust$1$ that$3$ time might make$1$ her duty easier than 
302:331,23@a   | it now was. 
302:331,24['  ]| She could not, though only eighteen, suppose $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's 
302:331,25['  ]| attachment would hold$1$ out$5$ for*ever; she could not 
302:331,26['  ]| but imagine that$3$ steady, unceasing discouragement from 
302:331,27['  ]| herself would put an end$0$ to$4$ it in$4$ time. How much time 
302:331,28['  ]| she might, in$4$ her own$2$ fancy$0$, allot for$4$ its dominion, is 
302:331,29['  ]| another concern$0$. It would not be fair to$9$ enquire into 
302:331,30['  ]| a young lady's exact$2$ estimate$0$ of her own$2$ perfections. 
302:331,31['  ]| In$4$ spite$8$ of his intended silence$0$, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas found himself 
302:331,32['  ]| once more obliged to$9$ mention$1$ the subject$0$ to$4$ his niece, 
302:331,33['  ]| to$9$ prepare her briefly for$4$ its being$1$ imparted to$4$ her aunts; 
302:331,34['  ]| a measure$0$ which$6#1$ he would still$5$ have avoided, if possible, 
302:331,35['  ]| but which$6#1$ became necessary from the totally opposite 
302:331,36['  ]| feelings of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, as to$4$ any secrecy of proceeding. 
302:331,37['  ]| He had no$2$ idea of concealment. It was all known at the 
302:331,38['  ]| parsonage, where he loved to$9$ talk$1$ over the future with 
302:332,01['  ]| both his sisters; and it would be rather gratifying to$4$ him 
302:332,02['  ]| to$9$ have enlightened witnesses of the progress of his success. 
302:332,03['  ]| When $MP#E$Sir*Thomas understood this, he felt the 
302:332,04['  ]| necessity of making his own$2$ wife and sister-in-law acquainted 
302:332,05['  ]| with the business without delay$0$; though on$4$ 
302:332,06['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's account$0$, he almost dreaded the effect$0$ of the 
302:332,07['  ]| communication to$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris as much as $MP#A$Fanny herself. 
302:332,08['  ]| He deprecated her mistaken, but well-meaning zeal. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
302:332,09['  ]| indeed, was, by$4$ this time, not very far from 
302:332,10['  ]| classing $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris as one of those well-meaning people, 
302:332,11['  ]| who$6#1$ are always doing mistaken and very disagreeable 
302:332,12['  ]| things. 
302:332,13['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, however, relieved him. He pressed for$4$ 
302:332,14['  ]| the strictest forbearance and silence$0$ towards their niece; 
302:332,15['  ]| she not only promised, but did observe it. She only 
302:332,16['  ]| looked her increased ill-will. Angry she was, bitterly 
302:332,17['  ]| angry; but she was more angry with $MP#A$Fanny for$4$ having 
302:332,18['  ]| received such an offer$0$, than for$4$ refusing it. It was an 
302:332,19['  ]| injury and affront to$4$ $MP#I$Julia, who$6#1$ ought to$9$ have been 
302:332,20['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's choice$0$; and, independently of that$6#2$, she 
302:332,21['  ]| disliked $MP#A$Fanny, because she had neglected her; and 
302:332,22['  ]| she would have grudged such an elevation to$4$ one whom$6#1$ 
302:332,23['  ]| she had been always trying$1$ to$9$ depress. 
302:332,24['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas gave her more credit$0$ for$4$ discretion on$4$ the 
302:332,25['  ]| occasion$0$ than she deserved; and $MP#A$Fanny could have blessed 
302:332,26['  ]| her for$4$ allowing her only to$9$ see her displeasure, and not 
302:332,27['  ]| to$9$ hear it. 
302:332,28['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram took it differently. She had been a 
302:332,29['  ]| beauty, and a prosperous beauty, all her life; and beauty 
302:332,30['  ]| and wealth were all that$6#1$ excited her respect$0$. To$9$ know 
302:332,31['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ be sought in$4$ marriage by$4$ a man of fortune, 
302:332,32['  ]| raised her, therefore, very much in$4$ her opinion. By$4$ convincing 
302:332,33['  ]| her that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny \was\ very pretty$2$, which$6#1$ she had 
302:332,34['  ]| been doubting about$4$ before$5$, and that$3$ she would be advantageously 
302:332,35['  ]| married, it made her feel a sort of credit$0$ in$4$ 
302:332,36['  ]| calling her niece. 
302:332,37[F  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#A$Fanny," 
302:332,37['  ]| said she, as soon as they were alone 
302:332,38['  ]| together afterwards, ~~ and she really had known something 
302:333,01['  ]| like$4$ impatience, to$9$ be alone with her, and her countenance, 
302:333,02['  ]| as she spoke, had extraordinary animation ~~ 
302:333,03[F  ]| "Well$7$, $MP#A$Fanny, I have had a very agreeable surprise$0$ this 
302:333,04[F  ]| morning. I must just$5$ speak of it \once\, I told $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
302:333,05[F  ]| I must \once\, and then I shall have done. I give you joy, 
302:333,06[F  ]| my dear$2#1$ niece." ~~ 
302:333,06['  ]| And looking at her complacently, she 
302:333,07['  ]| added 
302:333,07[F  ]| "Humph ~~ We certainly are a handsome family." 
302:333,08['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny coloured, and doubted at first what to$9$ say; 
302:333,09['  ]| when hoping to$9$ assail her on$4$ her vulnerable side$0$, she 
302:333,10['  ]| presently answered ~~ 
302:333,11[A  ]| "My dear$2#1$ aunt, \you\ cannot wish$1$ me to$9$ do differently 
302:333,12[A  ]| from what I have done, I am sure. \You\ cannot wish$1$ me 
302:333,13[A  ]| to$9$ marry; for$3$ you would miss me, should not you? ~~ 
302:333,14[A  ]| Yes, I am sure you would miss me too$5#1$ much for$4$ that$6#2$." 
302:333,15[F  ]| "No$7$, my dear$2#1$, I should not think of missing you, when 
302:333,16[F  ]| such an offer$0$ as this comes in$4$ your way. I could do very 
302:333,17[F  ]| well$5$ without you, if you were married to$4$ a man of such 
302:333,18[F  ]| good estate as $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. And you must be aware, 
302:333,19[F  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ it is every young woman's duty to$9$ accept such 
302:333,20[F  ]| a very unexceptionable offer$0$ as this." 
302:333,21['  ]| This was almost the only rule of conduct$0$, the only piece 
302:333,22['  ]| of advice, which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny had ever received from her aunt in$4$ 
302:333,23['  ]| the course$0$ of eight years and a half. ~~ It silenced her. She 
302:333,24['  ]| felt now unprofitable contention would be. If her aunt's 
302:333,25['  ]| feelings were against her, nothing could be hoped from 
302:333,26['  ]| attacking her understanding. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was quite 
302:333,27['  ]| talkative. 
302:333,28[F  ]| "I will$1$ tell you what, $MP#A$Fanny," 
302:333,28['  ]| said she. ~~ 
302:333,28[F  ]| "I am sure he 
302:333,29[F  ]| fell in$4$ love$0$ with you at the ball$0#2$, I am sure the mischief was 
302:333,30[F  ]| done that$6#2$ evening. You did look$1$ remarkably well$5$. Every*body 
302:333,31[F  ]| said so$5#2$. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas said so$5#2$. And you know you had 
302:333,32[F  ]| $MP#ZZL$Chapman to$9$ help$1$ you dress$1$. I am very glad I sent 
302:333,33[F  ]| $MP#ZZL$Chapman to$4$ you. I shall tell $MP#E$Sir*Thomas that$3$ I am sure it 
302:333,34[F  ]| was done that$6#2$ evening." ~~ 
302:333,34['  ]| And still$5$ pursuing the same 
302:333,35['  ]| cheerful thoughts, she soon afterwards added, ~~ 
302:333,35[F  ]| "And 
302:333,36[F  ]| I will$1$ tell you what, $MP#A$Fanny ~~ which$6#1$ is more than I did for$4$ 
302:333,37[F  ]| $MP#H$Maria ~~ the next time pug has a litter you shall have 
302:333,38[F  ]| a puppy." 
303:334,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had great things to$9$ hear on$4$ his return$0$. Many 
303:334,02['  ]| surprises were awaiting him. The first that$6#1$ occurred was 
303:334,03['  ]| not least in$4$ interest$0$, ~~ the appearance of $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
303:334,04['  ]| and his sister walking together through$4$ the village, as he 
303:334,05['  ]| rode into it. ~~ He had concluded, ~~ he had meant them to$9$ 
303:334,06['  ]| be far distant. His absence had been extended beyond$4$ 
303:334,07['  ]| a fortnight purposely to$9$ avoid $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. He was 
303:334,08['  ]| returning to$4$ Mansfield with spirits ready to$9$ feed on$4$ 
303:334,09['  ]| melancholy$2$ remembrances, and tender$2$ associations, when 
303:334,10['  ]| her own$2$ fair self was before$4$ him, leaning on$4$ her brother's 
303:334,11['  ]| arm$0$; and he found himself receiving a welcome$0$, unquestionably 
303:334,12['  ]| friendly, from the woman whom$6#1$, two 
303:334,13['  ]| moments before$5$, he had been thinking of as seventy miles 
303:334,14['  ]| off, and as farther, much farther from him in$4$ inclination 
303:334,15['  ]| than any distance$0$ could express$1$. 
303:334,16['  ]| Her reception of him was of a sort which$6#1$ he could not have 
303:334,17['  ]| hoped for$4$, had he expected to$9$ see her. Coming as he did 
303:334,18['  ]| from such a purport fulfilled as had taken him away, he 
303:334,19['  ]| would have expected any*thing rather than a look$0$ of 
303:334,20['  ]| satisfaction, and words of simple$2$, pleasant meaning. It 
303:334,21['  ]| was enough to$9$ set$1$ his heart in$4$ a glow, and to$9$ bring him 
303:334,22['  ]| home in$4$ the properest state$0$ for$4$ feeling the full value$0$ of the 
303:334,23['  ]| other joyful surprises at hand$0$. 
303:334,24['  ]| $MP#Q$William's promotion, with all its particulars, he was 
303:334,25['  ]| soon master of; and with such a secret$2$ provision of 
303:334,26['  ]| comfort$0$ within his own$2$ breast to$9$ help$1$ the joy, he found in$4$ 
303:334,27['  ]| it a source of most gratifying sensation$0#1$, and unvarying 
303:334,28['  ]| cheerfulness all dinner-time. 
303:334,29['  ]| After$4$ dinner, when he and his father were alone, he had 
303:334,30['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's history; and then all the great events of the last$2$ 
303:334,31['  ]| fortnight, and the present$2$ situation of matters at Mansfield 
303:334,32['  ]| were known to$4$ him. 
303:334,33['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny suspected what was going on$5$. They sat so$5#1$ much 
303:335,01['  ]| longer than usual in$4$ the dining*parlour, that$3$ she was sure 
303:335,02['  ]| they must be talking of her; and when tea at last$0$ brought 
303:335,03['  ]| them away, and she was to$9$ be seen by$4$ $MP#B$Edmund again, she 
303:335,04['  ]| felt dreadfully guilty. He came to$4$ her, sat down$5$ by$4$ her, 
303:335,05['  ]| took her hand$0$, and pressed it kindly; and at that$6#2$ moment 
303:335,06['  ]| she thought$1$ that$3$, but for$4$ the occupation and the scene 
303:335,07['  ]| which$6#1$ the tea things afforded, she must have betrayed her 
303:335,08['  ]| emotion in$4$ some unpardonable excess. 
303:335,09['  ]| He was not intending, however, by$4$ such action, to$9$ be 
303:335,10['  ]| conveying to$4$ her that$6#2$ unqualified approbation and 
303:335,11['  ]| encouragement which$6#1$ her hopes$0$ drew from it. It was 
303:335,12['  ]| designed only to$9$ express$1$ his participation in$4$ all that$6#1$ 
303:335,13['  ]| interested her, and to$9$ tell her that$3$ he had been hearing 
303:335,14['  ]| what quickened every feeling of affection. He was, in$4$ fact, 
303:335,15['  ]| entirely on$4$ his father's side$0$ of the question$0$. His surprise$0$ 
303:335,16['  ]| was not so$5#1$ great as his father's, at her refusing $MP#D$Crawford, 
303:335,17['  ]| because, so$5#1$ far from supposing her to$9$ consider him with 
303:335,18['  ]| anything like$4$ a preference, he had always believed it to$9$ be 
303:335,19['  ]| rather the reverse, and could imagine her to$9$ be taken 
303:335,20['  ]| perfectly unprepared, but $MP#E$Sir*Thomas could not regard$1$ the 
303:335,21['  ]| connection as more desirable than he did. It had every 
303:335,22['  ]| recommendation to$4$ him, and while$4$ honouring her for$4$ what 
303:335,23['  ]| she had done under the influence$0$ of her present$2$ indifference, 
303:335,24['  ]| honouring her in$4$ rather stronger terms than $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
303:335,25['  ]| could quite echo, he was most earnest in$4$ hoping, 
303:335,26['  ]| and sanguine in$4$ believing, that$3$ it would be a match$0$ at last$0$, 
303:335,27['  ]| and that$3$, united by$4$ mutual affection, it would appear that$3$ 
303:335,28['  ]| their dispositions were as exactly fitted to$9$ make$1$ them 
303:335,29['  ]| blessed in$4$ each other, as he was now beginning seriously to$9$ 
303:335,30['  ]| consider them. 
303:335,30@b   | $MP#D$Crawford had been too$5#1$ precipitate. He 
303:335,31@b   | had not given her time to$9$ attach herself. He had begun at 
303:335,32@b   | the wrong end$0$. With such powers as his, however, and 
303:335,33@b   | such a disposition as hers, 
303:335,33['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund trusted that$3$ 
303:335,33@b   | every*thing 
303:335,34@b   | would work$1$ out$5$ a happy conclusion. 
303:335,34['  ]| Meanwhile, he 
303:335,35['  ]| saw enough of $MP#A$Fanny's embarrassment to$9$ make$1$ him 
303:335,36['  ]| scrupulously guard$1$ against exciting it a second$2$ time, by$4$ 
303:335,37['  ]| any word, or look$0$, or movement. 
303:335,38['  ]| $MP#D$Crawford called the next day, and on$4$ the score of 
303:336,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's return$0$, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas felt himself more than 
303:336,02['  ]| licensed to$9$ ask him to$9$ stay$1$ dinner; it was really a 
303:336,03['  ]| necessary compliment$0$. He staid of course$8$, and $MP#B$Edmund 
303:336,04['  ]| had then ample opportunity for$4$ observing how he sped 
303:336,05['  ]| with $MP#A$Fanny, and what degree of immediate encouragement 
303:336,06['  ]| for$4$ him might be extracted from her manners; 
303:336,06@b   | and it was 
303:336,07@b   | so$5#1$ little, so$5#1$ very very little, (every chance$0$, every possibility 
303:336,08@b   | of it, resting upon$4$ her embarrassment only, if there was not 
303:336,09@b   | hope$0$ in$4$ her confusion, there was hope$0$ in$4$ nothing else) that$3$ 
303:336,10@b   | he was almost ready to$9$ wonder$1$ at his friend's perseverance. 
303:336,11@b   | ~~ $MP#A$Fanny was worth it all; he held her to$9$ be worth every 
303:336,12@b   | effort of patience, every exertion of mind$0$ ~~ but he did not 
303:336,13@b   | think he could have gone on$5$ himself with any woman 
303:336,14@b   | breathing, without something more to$9$ warm$1$ his courage 
303:336,15@b   | than his eyes could discern in$4$ hers. He was very willing to$9$ 
303:336,16@b   | hope$1$ that$3$ $MP#D$Crawford saw clearer; and this was the most 
303:336,17@b   | comfortable conclusion for$4$ his friend that$6#1$ he could come to$4$ 
303:336,18@b   | from all that$6#1$ he observed to$9$ pass$1$ before$5$, and at, and after$4$ 
303:336,19@b   | dinner. 
303:336,20['  ]| In$4$ the evening a few circumstances occurred which$6#1$ he 
303:336,21['  ]| thought$1$ more promising. When he and $MP#D$Crawford walked 
303:336,22['  ]| into the drawing-room, his mother and $MP#A$Fanny were sitting 
303:336,23['  ]| as intently and silently at work$0$ as if there were nothing 
303:336,24['  ]| else to$9$ care$1$ for$4$. $MP#B$Edmund could not help$1$ noticing their 
303:336,25['  ]| apparently deep tranquillity. 
303:336,26[F  ]| "We have not been so$5#1$ silent all the time," 
303:336,26['  ]| replied his 
303:336,27['  ]| mother. 
303:336,27[F  ]| "$MP#A$Fanny has been reading to$4$ me, and only put the 
303:336,28[F  ]| book down$5$ upon$4$ hearing you coming." ~~ 
303:336,28['  ]| And sure enough 
303:336,29['  ]| there was a book on$4$ the table which$6#1$ had the air of being$1$ 
303:336,30['  ]| very recently closed, a volume of $MP#Z1$Shakespeare. ~~ 
303:336,30[F  ]| "She 
303:336,31[F  ]| often reads to$4$ me out$5$ of those books; and she was in$4$ the 
303:336,32[F  ]| middle of a very fine speech of that$6#2$ man's ~~ What's his 
303:336,33[F  ]| name$0$, $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ when we heard your footsteps." 
303:336,34['  ]| $MP#D$Crawford took the volume. 
303:336,34[D  ]| "Let me have the pleasure 
303:336,35[D  ]| of finishing that$6#2$ speech to$4$ your ladyship," 
303:336,35['  ]| said he. 
303:336,36[D  ]| "I shall find it immediately," 
303:336,36['  ]| And by$4$ carefully giving 
303:336,37['  ]| way to$4$ the inclination of the leaves$0$, he did find it, or within 
303:336,38['  ]| a page or two, quite near$5$ enough to$9$ satisfy $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
303:337,01['  ]| who$6#1$ assured him, as soon as he mentioned the name$0$ of 
303:337,02['  ]| $MP#Z2$Cardinal*Wolsey, that$3$ he had got the very speech. ~~ Not 
303:337,03['  ]| a look$0$, or an offer$0$ of help$0$ had $MP#A$Fanny given; not a syllable 
303:337,04['  ]| for$4$ or against. All her attention was for$4$ her work$0$. She 
303:337,05['  ]| seemed determined to$9$ be interested by$4$ nothing else. But 
303:337,06['  ]| taste was too$5#1$ strong in$4$ her. She could not abstract her 
303:337,07['  ]| mind$0$ five minutes; she was forced to$9$ listen; 
303:337,07@a   | his reading 
303:337,08@a   | was capital, and her pleasure in$4$ good reading extreme$2$. 
303:337,09@a   | To$4$ \good\ reading, however, she had been long used; her 
303:337,10@a   | uncle read well$5$ ~~ her cousins all ~~ $MP#B$Edmund very well$5$; but 
303:337,11@a   | in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's reading there was a variety of excellence 
303:337,12@a   | beyond$4$ what she had ever met with. The $MP#Z2$King, the 
303:337,13@a   | $MP#Z2$Queen, $MP#Z2$Buckingham, $MP#Z2$Wolsey, $MP#Z2$Cromwell, all were given in$4$ 
303:337,14@a   | turn$0$; for$3$ with the happiest knack, the happiest power of 
303:337,15@a   | jumping and guessing, he could always light$1$, at will$0$, on$4$ the 
303:337,16@a   | best scene, or the best speeches of each; and whether 
303:337,17@a   | it were dignity or pride, or tenderness or remorse, or 
303:337,18@a   | whatever were to$9$ be expressed, he could do it with equal$2$ 
303:337,19@a   | beauty. ~~ It was truly dramatic. ~~ 
303:337,19['  ]| His acting had first 
303:337,20['  ]| taught $MP#A$Fanny what pleasure a play$0$ might give, and his 
303:337,21['  ]| reading brought all his acting before$4$ her again; nay, 
303:337,22['  ]| perhaps with greater enjoyment, for$3$ it came unexpectedly, 
303:337,23['  ]| and with no$2$ such drawback as she had been used to$9$ suffer 
303:337,24['  ]| in$4$ seeing him on$4$ the stage$0#2$ with $MP#H$Miss*Bertram. 
303:337,25['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund watched the progress of her attention, and was 
303:337,26['  ]| amused and gratified by$4$ seeing how she gradually slackened 
303:337,27['  ]| in$4$ the needle-work, which$6#1$, at the beginning, seemed to$9$ 
303:337,28['  ]| occupy her totally; 
303:337,28@b   | how it fell from her hand$0$ while$3$ she sat 
303:337,29@b   | motionless over it ~~ and at last$0$, how the eyes which$6#1$ had 
303:337,30@b   | appeared so$5#1$ studiously to$9$ avoid him throughout the day, 
303:337,31@b   | were turned and fixed on$4$ $MP#D$Crawford, fixed on$4$ him for$4$ 
303:337,32@b   | minutes, fixed on$4$ him in$4$ short till the attraction drew 
303:337,33@b   | $MP#D$Crawford's upon$4$ her, and the book was closed, and the 
303:337,34@b   | charm$0$ was broken. Then, she was shrinking again into 
303:337,35@b   | herself, and blushing and working as hard as ever; 
303:337,35['  ]| but it 
303:337,36['  ]| had been enough to$9$ give $MP#B$Edmund encouragement for$4$ his 
303:337,37['  ]| friend, and as he cordially thanked him, he hoped to$9$ be 
303:337,38['  ]| expressing $MP#A$Fanny's secret$2$ feelings too$5#2$. 
303:338,01[B  ]| "That$6#2$ play$0$ must be a favourite$0$ with you," 
303:338,01['  ]| said he; 
303:338,02[B  ]| "You read as if you knew it well$5$." 
303:338,03[D  ]| "It will$1$ be a favourite$0$ I believe from this hour," 
303:338,03['  ]| replied 
303:338,04['  ]| $MP#D$Crawford; ~~ 
303:338,04[D  ]| "but I do not think I have had a volume of 
303:338,05[D  ]| $MP#Z1$Shakespeare in$4$ my hand$0$ before$5$, since I was fifteen. ~~ I 
303:338,06[D  ]| once saw Henry*the*8th acted. ~~ Or I have heard of it 
303:338,07[D  ]| from somebody who$6#1$ did ~~ I am not certain which$6#1$. But 
303:338,08[D  ]| $MP#Z1$Shakespeare one gets acquainted with without knowing 
303:338,09[D  ]| how. It is a part$0$ of an Englishman's constitution. His 
303:338,10[D  ]| thoughts and beauties are so$5#1$ spread abroad that$3$ one 
303:338,11[D  ]| touches them every*where, one is intimate$2$ with him by$4$ 
303:338,12[D  ]| instinct. ~~ No$2$ man of any brain can open$1$ at a good part$0$ 
303:338,13[D  ]| of one of his plays$0$, without falling into the flow$0$ of his 
303:338,14[D  ]| meaning immediately." 
303:338,15[B  ]| "No$2$ doubt$0$, one is familiar with $MP#Z1$Shakespeare in$4$ a degree," 
303:338,16['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund, 
303:338,16[B  ]| "from one's earliest years. His celebrated 
303:338,17[B  ]| passages are quoted by$4$ every*body; they are in$4$ half the 
303:338,18[B  ]| books we open$1$, and we all talk$1$ $MP#Z1$Shakespeare, use$1$ his 
303:338,19[B  ]| similies, and describe with his descriptions; but this is 
303:338,20[B  ]| totally distinct from giving his sense as you gave it. To$9$ 
303:338,21[B  ]| know him in$4$ bits and scraps, is common$2$ enough; to$9$ know 
303:338,22[B  ]| him pretty$5$ thoroughly, is, perhaps, not uncommon; but to$9$ 
303:338,23[B  ]| read him well$5$ aloud, is no$2$ every-day talent." 
303:338,24[D  ]| "Sir, you do me honour$0$;" 
303:338,24['  ]| was $MP#D$Crawford's answer$0$, with 
303:338,25['  ]| a bow$0#1$ of mock gravity. 
303:338,26['  ]| Both gentlemen had a glance$0$ at $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ see if a word 
303:338,27['  ]| of accordant praise$0$ could be extorted from her; yet both 
303:338,28['  ]| feeling that$3$ it could not be. Her praise$0$ had been given in$4$ 
303:338,29['  ]| her attention; \that$6#2$\ must content them. 
303:338,30['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's admiration was expressed, and strongly 
303:338,31['  ]| too$5#2$. 
303:338,31[F  ]| "It was really like$4$ being$1$ at a play$0$," 
303:338,31['  ]| said she. ~~ 
303:338,32[F  ]| "I wish$1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had been here." 
303:338,33['  ]| $MP#D$Crawford was excessively pleased. ~~ 
303:338,33@d   | If $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
303:338,34@d   | with all her incompetency and languor, could feel this, the 
303:338,35@d   | inference of what her niece, alive and enlightened as she 
303:338,36@d   | was, must feel, was elevating. 
303:338,37[F  ]| "You have a great turn$0$ for$4$ acting, I am sure, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford," 
303:338,38['  ]| said her Ladyship soon afterwards ~~ 
303:338,38[F  ]| "and I will$1$ tell 
303:339,01[F  ]| you what, I think you will$1$ have a theatre, some time or 
303:339,02[F  ]| other, at your house in$4$ Norfolk. I mean$1$ when you are 
303:339,03[F  ]| settled there. I do, indeed. I think you will$1$ fit$1$ up$5$ 
303:339,04[F  ]| a theatre at your house in$4$ Norfolk." 
303:339,05[D  ]| "Do you, Ma'am?" 
303:339,05['  ]| cried he with quickness. 
303:339,05[D  ]| "No$7$, no$7$, 
303:339,06[D  ]| that$6#2$ will$1$ never be. Your Ladyship is quite mistaken. No$2$ 
303:339,07[D  ]| theatre at Everingham! Oh! no$7$." ~~ 
303:339,07['  ]| And he looked at 
303:339,08['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny with an expressive smile$0$, which$6#1$ evidently meant, 
303:339,09@d   | "that$6#2$ lady will$1$ never allow a theatre at Everingham." 
303:339,10['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund saw it all, 
303:339,10@b   | and saw $MP#A$Fanny so$5#1$ determined \not\ to$9$ 
303:339,11@b   | see it, as to$9$ make$1$ it clear$2$ that$3$ the voice was enough to$9$ 
303:339,12@b   | convey the full meaning of the protestation; and such 
303:339,13@b   | a quick$2$ consciousness of compliment$0$, such a ready comprehension 
303:339,14@b   | of a hint$0$, 
303:339,14['  ]| he thought$1$, 
303:339,14@b   | was rather favourable 
303:339,15@b   | than not. 
303:339,16['  ]| The subject$0$ of reading aloud was farther discussed. 
303:339,17['  ]| The two young men were the only talkers, but they, 
303:339,18['  ]| standing by$4$ the fire$0$, talked over the too$5#1$ common$2$ neglect$0$ of 
303:339,19['  ]| the qualification, the total inattention to$4$ it, in$4$ the ordinary 
303:339,20['  ]| school-system for$4$ boys, the consequently natural$2$ ~~ yet in$4$ 
303:339,21['  ]| some instances almost unnatural degree of ignorance and 
303:339,22['  ]| uncouthness of men, of sensible$2#2$ and well-informed men, 
303:339,23['  ]| when suddenly called to$4$ the necessity of reading aloud, 
303:339,24['  ]| which$6#1$ had fallen within their notice$0$, giving instances of 
303:339,25['  ]| blunders, and failures with their secondary causes, the 
303:339,26['  ]| want$0$ of management of the voice, of proper modulation 
303:339,27['  ]| and emphasis, of foresight and judgment, all proceeding 
303:339,28['  ]| from the first cause, want$1$ of early attention and habit; 
303:339,29['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny was listening again with great entertainment. 
303:339,30[B  ]| "Even$5$ in$4$ my profession$0#2$" ~~ 
303:339,30['  ]| said $MP#B$Edmund with a smile$0$ 
303:339,31[B  ]| ~~ "how little the art of reading has been studied! how 
303:339,32[B  ]| little a clear$2$ manner, and good delivery, have been attended 
303:339,33[B  ]| to$5$! I speak rather of the past$0$, however, than the present$0#1$. 
303:339,34[B  ]| ~~ There is now a spirit of improvement abroad; but 
303:339,35[B  ]| among those who$6#1$ were ordained twenty, thirty, forty years 
303:339,36[B  ]| ago, the larger number, to$9$ judge$1$ by$4$ their performance, 
303:339,37[B  ]| must have thought$1$ reading was reading, and preaching was 
303:339,38[B  ]| preaching. It is different now. The subject$0$ is more justly 
303:340,01[B  ]| considered. It is felt that$3$ distinctness and energy may$1$ 
303:340,02[B  ]| have weight in$4$ recommending the most solid truths; and, 
303:340,03[B  ]| besides, there is more general$2$ observation and taste, 
303:340,04[B  ]| a more critical knowledge diffused, than formerly; in$4$ 
303:340,05[B  ]| every congregation, there is a larger proportion who$6#1$ know 
303:340,06[B  ]| a little of the matter, and who$6#1$ can judge$1$ and criticize." 
303:340,07['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had already gone through$4$ the service once since 
303:340,08['  ]| his ordination; and upon$4$ this being$1$ understood, he had 
303:340,09['  ]| a variety of questions from $MP#D$Crawford as to$4$ his feelings and 
303:340,10['  ]| success; questions which$6#1$ being$1$ made ~~ though with the 
303:340,11['  ]| vivacity of friendly interest$0$ and quick$2$ taste ~~ without any 
303:340,12['  ]| touch$0$ of that$6#2$ spirit of banter or air of levity which$6#1$ $MP#B$Edmund 
303:340,13['  ]| knew to$9$ be most offensive to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, he had true pleasure in$4$ 
303:340,14['  ]| satisfying; and when $MP#D$Crawford proceeded to$9$ ask his 
303:340,15['  ]| opinion and give his own$2$ as to$4$ the properest manner in$4$ 
303:340,16['  ]| which$6#1$ particular passages in$4$ the service should be delivered, 
303:340,17['  ]| shewing it to$9$ be a subject$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ he had thought$1$ 
303:340,18['  ]| before$5$, and thought$1$ with judgment, $MP#B$Edmund was still$5$ 
303:340,19['  ]| more and more pleased. 
303:340,19@b   | This would be the way to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's 
303:340,20@b   | heart. She was not to$9$ be won by$4$ all that$6#1$ gallantry and wit, 
303:340,21@b   | and good*nature together, could do; or at least, she would 
303:340,22@b   | not be won by$4$ them nearly so$5#1$ soon, without the assistance 
303:340,23@b   | of sentiment and feeling, and seriousness on$4$ serious$2$ 
303:340,24@b   | subjects. 
303:340,25[D  ]| "Our liturgy," 
303:340,25['  ]| observed $MP#D$Crawford, 
303:340,25[D  ]| "has beauties, 
303:340,26[D  ]| which$6#1$ not even$5$ a careless, slovenly style of reading can 
303:340,27[D  ]| destroy; but it has also redundancies and repetitions, 
303:340,28[D  ]| which$6#1$ require good reading not to$9$ be felt. For$4$ myself, at 
303:340,29[D  ]| least, I must confess being$1$ not always so$5#1$ attentive as 
303:340,30[D  ]| I ought to$9$ be ~~ 
303:340,30['  ]| (here was a glance$0$ at $MP#A$Fanny) 
303:340,30[D  ]| that$3$ nineteen 
303:340,31[D  ]| times out$5$ of twenty I am thinking how such a prayer 
303:340,32[D  ]| ought to$9$ be read, and longing to$9$ have it to$9$ read myself ~~ 
303:340,33[D  ]| Did you speak?" 
303:340,33['  ]| stepping eagerly to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and addressing 
303:340,34['  ]| her in$4$ a softened voice; and upon$4$ her saying, 
303:340,34[A  ]| "No$7$," 
303:340,35['  ]| he added, 
303:340,35[D  ]| "Are you sure you did not speak? I saw your 
303:340,36[D  ]| lips move$1$. I fancied you might be going to$9$ tell me 
303:340,37[D  ]| I \ought\ to$9$ be more attentive, and not \allow\ my thoughts to$9$ 
303:340,38[D  ]| wander. Are not you going to$9$ tell me so$5#2$?" 
303:341,01[A  ]| "No$7$, indeed, you know your duty too$5#1$ well$5$ for$4$ me to$9$ ~~ 
303:341,02[A  ]| even$5$ supposing ~~" 
303:341,03['  ]| She stopt, felt herself getting into a puzzle$0$, and could not 
303:341,04['  ]| be prevailed on$5$ to$9$ add another word, not by$4$ dint of several 
303:341,05['  ]| minutes of supplication and waiting. He then returned to$4$ 
303:341,06['  ]| his former station, and went on$5$ as if there had been no$2$ such 
303:341,07['  ]| tender$2$ interruption. 
303:341,08[D  ]| "A sermon, well$5$ delivered, is more uncommon even$5$ than 
303:341,09[D  ]| prayers well$5$ read. A sermon, good in$4$ itself, is no$2$ rare 
303:341,10[D  ]| thing. It is more difficult to$9$ speak well$5$ than to$9$ compose 
303:341,11[D  ]| well$5$; that$6#2$ is, the rules$0$ and trick$0$ of composition are oftener 
303:341,12[D  ]| an object$0$ of study$0$. A thoroughly good sermon, thoroughly 
303:341,13[D  ]| well$5$ delivered, is a capital gratification. I can never hear 
303:341,14[D  ]| such a one without the greatest admiration and respect$0$, 
303:341,15[D  ]| and more than half a mind$0$ to$9$ take orders$0#2$ and preach 
303:341,16[D  ]| myself. There is something in$4$ the eloquence of the pulpit, 
303:341,17[D  ]| when it is really eloquence, which$6#1$ is entitled to$4$ the highest 
303:341,18[D  ]| praise$0$ and honour$0$. The preacher who$6#1$ can touch$1$ and 
303:341,19[D  ]| affect such an heterogeneous mass of hearers, on$4$ subjects 
303:341,20[D  ]| limited, and long worn thread-bare in$4$ all common$2$ hands; 
303:341,21[D  ]| who$6#1$ can say any*thing new or striking, any*thing that$6#1$ 
303:341,22[D  ]| rouses the attention, without offending the taste, or 
303:341,23[D  ]| wearing out$5$ the feelings of his hearers, is a man whom$6#1$ one 
303:341,24[D  ]| could not (in$4$ his public$2$ capacity) honour$0$ enough. I should 
303:341,25[D  ]| like$1$ to$9$ be such a man." 
303:341,26['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund laughed. 
303:341,27[D  ]| "I should indeed. I never listened to$4$ a distinguished 
303:341,28[D  ]| preacher in$4$ my life, without a sort of envy$0$. But then, 
303:341,29[D  ]| I must have a London audience. I could not preach, but 
303:341,30[D  ]| to$4$ the educated; to$4$ those who$6#1$ were capable of estimating 
303:341,31[D  ]| my composition. And, I do not know that$3$ I should be fond 
303:341,32[D  ]| of preaching often; now and then, perhaps, once or twice 
303:341,33[D  ]| in$4$ the spring$0$, after$4$ being$1$ anxiously expected for$4$ half 
303:341,34[D  ]| a dozen Sundays together; but not for$4$ a constancy; it 
303:341,35[D  ]| would not do for$4$ a constancy." 
303:341,36['  ]| Here $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ could not but listen, involuntarily 
303:341,37['  ]| shook her head$0$, and $MP#D$Crawford was instantly by$4$ her side$0$ 
303:341,38['  ]| again, intreating to$9$ know her meaning; and as $MP#B$Edmund 
303:342,01['  ]| perceived, 
303:342,01@b   | by$4$ his drawing in$5$ a chair, and sitting down$5$ close$5$ 
303:342,02@b   | by$4$ her, that$3$ it was to$9$ be a very thorough attack$0$, that$3$ looks$0$ 
303:342,03@b   | and undertones were to$9$ be well$5$ tried, 
303:342,03['  ]| he sank as quietly 
303:342,04['  ]| as possible into a corner, turned his back$0$, and took up$5$ 
303:342,05['  ]| a newspaper, 
303:342,05@b   | very sincerely wishing that$3$ dear$2#1$ little $MP#A$Fanny 
303:342,06@b   | might be persuaded into explaining away that$6#2$ shake$0$ of the 
303:342,07@b   | head$0$ to$4$ the satisfaction of her ardent lover; 
303:342,07['  ]| and as 
303:342,08['  ]| earnestly trying$1$ to$9$ bury every sound$0$ of the business from 
303:342,09['  ]| himself in$4$ murmurs of his own$2$, over the various advertisements 
303:342,10['  ]| of 
303:342,10@z   | "a most desirable estate in$4$ South*Wales" ~~ "To$4$ 
303:342,11@z   | Parents and Guardians" 
303:342,11['  ]| and a 
303:342,11@z   | "Capital season'd Hunter." 
303:342,12['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, meanwhile, 
303:342,12@a   | vexed with herself for$4$ not having 
303:342,13@a   | been as motionless as she was speechless, and grieved to$4$ the 
303:342,14@a   | heart to$9$ see $MP#B$Edmund's arrangements, 
303:342,14['  ]| was trying$1$, by$4$ every*thing 
303:342,15['  ]| in$4$ the power of her modest gentle nature, to$9$ repulse 
303:342,16['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, and avoid both his looks$0$ and enquiries; and 
303:342,17['  ]| he unrepulsable was persisting in$4$ both. 
303:342,18[D  ]| "What did that$6#2$ shake$0$ of the head$0$ mean$1$?" 
303:342,18['  ]| said he. 
303:342,19[D  ]| "What was it meant to$9$ express$1$? Disapprobation, I fear$1$. 
303:342,20[D  ]| But of what? ~~ What had I been saying to$9$ displease you? 
303:342,21[D  ]| ~~ Did you think me speaking improperly? ~~ lightly, 
303:342,22[D  ]| irreverently on$4$ the subject$0$? ~~ Only tell me if I was. Only 
303:342,23[D  ]| tell me if I was wrong. I want$1$ to$9$ be set$1$ right$2#1$. Nay, nay, 
303:342,24[D  ]| I entreat you; for$4$ one moment put down$5$ your work$0$. 
303:342,25[D  ]| What did that$6#2$ shake$0$ of the head$0$ mean$1$?" 
303:342,26['  ]| In$4$ vain was her 
303:342,26[A  ]| "Pray, Sir, don't ~~ pray, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford," 
303:342,27['  ]| repeated twice over; and in$4$ vain did she try to$9$ move$1$ 
303:342,28['  ]| away ~~ In$4$ the same low eager voice, and the same close$2$ 
303:342,29['  ]| neighbourhood, he went on$5$, re-urging the same questions 
303:342,30['  ]| as before$5$. She grew more agitated and displeased. 
303:342,31[A  ]| "How can you, Sir? You quite astonish me ~~ I wonder$1$ 
303:342,32[A  ]| how you can" ~~ 
303:342,33[D  ]| "Do I astonish you?" 
303:342,33['  ]| said he. 
303:342,33[D  ]| "Do you wonder$1$? 
303:342,34[D  ]| Is there any*thing in$4$ my present$2$ intreaty that$6#1$ you do not 
303:342,35[D  ]| understand? I will$1$ explain to$4$ you instantly all that$6#1$ makes 
303:342,36[D  ]| me urge you in$4$ this manner, all that$6#1$ gives me an interest$0$ in$4$ 
303:342,37[D  ]| what you look$1$ and do, and excites my present$2$ curiosity. 
303:342,38[D  ]| I will$1$ not leave$1$ you to$9$ wonder$1$ long." 
303:343,01['  ]| In$4$ spite$8$ of herself, she could not help$1$ half a smile$0$, but 
303:343,02['  ]| she said nothing. 
303:343,03[D  ]| "You shook your head$0$ at my acknowledging that$3$ 
303:343,04[D  ]| I should not like$1$ to$9$ engage in$4$ the duties of a clergyman 
303:343,05[D  ]| always, for$4$ a constancy. Yes, that$6#2$ was the word. Constancy, 
303:343,06[D  ]| I am not afraid of the word. I would spell it, read 
303:343,07[D  ]| it, write it with any*body. I see nothing alarming in$4$ the 
303:343,08[D  ]| word. Did you think I ought?" 
303:343,09[A  ]| "Perhaps, Sir," 
303:343,09['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, wearied at last$0$ into 
303:343,10['  ]| speaking ~~ 
303:343,10[A  ]| "perhaps, Sir, I thought$1$ it was a pity$0$ you did 
303:343,11[A  ]| not always know yourself as well$5$ as you seemed to$9$ do at 
303:343,12[A  ]| that$6#2$ moment." 
303:343,13['  ]| $MP#D$Crawford, delighted to$9$ get her to$9$ speak at any rate$0$, was 
303:343,14['  ]| determined to$9$ keep it up$5$; and poor $MP#A$Fanny, 
303:343,14@a   | who$6#1$ had 
303:343,15@a   | hoped to$9$ silence$1$ him by$4$ such an extremity of reproof, found 
303:343,16@a   | herself sadly mistaken, and that$3$ it was only a change$0$ from 
303:343,17@a   | one object$0$ of curiosity and one set$0$ of words to$4$ another. 
303:343,18@d   | He had always something to$9$ intreat the explanation of. 
303:343,19@d   | The opportunity was too$5#1$ fair. None such had occurred 
303:343,20@d   | since his seeing her in$4$ her uncle's room, none such might 
303:343,21@d   | occur again before$4$ his leaving Mansfield. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
303:343,22@d   | being$1$ just$5$ on$4$ the other side$0$ of the table was a trifle$0$, for$3$ 
303:343,22@d   | she 
303:343,23@d   | might always be considered as only half awake$2$, and 
303:343,24@d   | $MP#B$Edmund's advertisements were still$5$ of the first utility. 
303:343,25[D  ]| "Well$7$," 
303:343,25['  ]| said $MP#D$Crawford, after$4$ a course$0$ of rapid questions 
303:343,26['  ]| and reluctant answers ~~ 
303:343,26[D  ]| "I am happier than I was, 
303:343,27[D  ]| because I now understand more clearly your opinion of me. 
303:343,28[D  ]| You think me unsteady ~~ easily swayed by$4$ the whim of the 
303:343,29[D  ]| moment ~~ easily tempted ~~ easily put aside. With such an 
303:343,30[D  ]| opinion, no$2$ wonder$0$ that$3$ ~~ But we shall see. ~~ It is not by$4$ 
303:343,31[D  ]| protestations that$3$ I shall endeavour$1$ to$9$ convince you I am 
303:343,32[D  ]| wronged, it is not by$4$ telling you that$3$ my affections are 
303:343,33[D  ]| steady. My conduct$0$ shall speak for$4$ me ~~ absence, 
303:343,34[D  ]| distance$0$, time shall speak for$4$ me. ~~ \They\ shall prove, that$3$ 
303:343,35[D  ]| as far as you can be deserved by$4$ any*body, I do deserve 
303:343,36[D  ]| you. ~~ You are infinitely my superior in$4$ merit$0$; all \that$6#1$\ 
303:343,37[D  ]| I know. ~~ You have qualities which$6#1$ I had not before$5$ 
303:343,38[D  ]| supposed to$9$ exist in$4$ such a degree in$4$ any human creature. 
303:344,01[D  ]| You have some touches of the angel in$4$ you, beyond$4$ what ~~ 
303:344,02[D  ]| not merely beyond$4$ what one sees, because one never sees 
303:344,03[D  ]| any*thing like$4$ it ~~ but beyond$4$ what one fancies$1$ might be. 
303:344,04[D  ]| But still$5$ I am not frightened. It is not by$4$ equality of merit$0$ 
303:344,05[D  ]| that$3$ you can be won. That$6#2$ is out$5$ of the question$0$. It is he 
303:344,06[D  ]| who$6#1$ sees and worships your merit$0$ the strongest, who$6#1$ loves 
303:344,07[D  ]| you most devotedly, that$6#1$ has the best right$0$ to$4$ a return$0$. 
303:344,08[D  ]| There I build my confidence. By$4$ that$6#2$ right$0$ I do and will$1$ 
303:344,09[D  ]| deserve you; and when once convinced that$3$ my attachment 
303:344,10[D  ]| is what I declare it, I know you too$5#1$ well$5$ not to$9$ 
303:344,11[D  ]| entertain the warmest hopes$0$ ~~ Yes, dearest, sweetest 
303:344,12[D  ]| $MP#A$Fanny ~~ Nay ~~ 
303:344,12['  ]| (seeing her draw back$5$ displeased) 
303:344,12[D  ]| forgive 
303:344,13[D  ]| me. Perhaps I have as yet no$2$ right$0$ ~~ but by$4$ what other 
303:344,14[D  ]| name$0$ can I call$1$ you? Do you suppose you are ever 
303:344,15[D  ]| present$5$ to$4$ my imagination under any other? No$7$, it is 
303:344,16[D  ]| ""$MP#A$Fanny"" that$6#1$ I think of all day, and dream$1$ of all night. ~~ 
303:344,17[D  ]| You have given the name$0$ such reality of sweetness, that$3$ 
303:344,18[D  ]| nothing else can now be descriptive of you." 
303:344,19['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could hardly have kept her seat any longer, or 
303:344,20['  ]| have refrained from at least trying$1$ to$9$ get away in$4$ spite$8$ of 
303:344,21['  ]| all the too$5#1$ public$2$ opposition she foresaw to$4$ it, had it not 
303:344,22['  ]| been for$4$ the sound$0$ of approaching relief, the very sound$0$ 
303:344,23['  ]| which$6#1$ she had been long watching for$4$, and long thinking 
303:344,24['  ]| strangely delayed. 
303:344,25['  ]| The solemn procession, headed by$4$ $MP#W$Baddely, of tea-board, 
303:344,26['  ]| urn, and cake-bearers, made its appearance, and delivered 
303:344,27['  ]| her from a grievous imprisonment of body and mind$0$. 
303:344,28['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was obliged to$9$ move$1$. She was at liberty, 
303:344,29['  ]| she was busy, she was protected. 
303:344,30['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was not sorry to$9$ be admitted again among the 
303:344,31['  ]| number of those who$6#1$ might speak and hear. But though 
303:344,32['  ]| the conference had seemed full long to$4$ him, and though on$4$ 
303:344,33['  ]| looking at $MP#A$Fanny he saw rather a flush of vexation, he 
303:344,34['  ]| inclined to$9$ hope$1$ that$3$ so$5#1$ much could not have been said and 
303:344,35['  ]| listened to$5$, without some profit to$4$ the speaker. 
304:345,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had determined that$3$ 
304:345,01@b   | it belonged entirely to$4$ 
304:345,02@b   | $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ chuse whether her situation with regard$0$ to$4$ 
304:345,03@b   | $MP#D$Crawford should be mentioned between them or not; 
304:345,04@b   | and that$3$ if she did not lead$1$ the way, it should never be 
304:345,05@b   | touched on$5$ by$4$ him; 
304:345,05['  ]| but after$4$ a day or two of mutual 
304:345,06['  ]| reserve$0$, he was induced by$4$ his father to$9$ change$1$ his mind$0$, 
304:345,07['  ]| and try what his influence$0$ might do for$4$ his friend. 
304:345,08['  ]| A day, and a very early day, was actually fixed for$4$ the 
304:345,09['  ]| $MP#D1$Crawfords' departure; and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas thought$1$ 
304:345,09@e   | it might 
304:345,10@e   | be as well$5$ to$9$ make$1$ one more effort for$4$ the young man 
304:345,11@e   | before$3$ he left Mansfield, that$3$ all his professions and vows 
304:345,12@e   | of unshaken attachment might have as much hope$0$ to$9$ 
304:345,13@e   | sustain them as possible. 
304:345,14['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was most cordially anxious for$4$ the perfection 
304:345,15['  ]| of $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's character in$4$ that$6#2$ point$0$. 
304:345,15@e   | He wished 
304:345,16@e   | him to$9$ be a model of constancy; and fancied the best 
304:345,17@e   | means$0$ of effecting it would be by$4$ not trying$1$ him too$5#1$ long. 
304:345,18['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was not unwilling to$9$ be persuaded to$9$ engage 
304:345,19['  ]| in$4$ the business; 
304:345,19@b   | he wanted to$9$ know $MP#A$Fanny's feelings. 
304:345,20@b   | She had been used to$9$ consult him in$4$ every difficulty, and 
304:345,21@b   | he loved her too$5#1$ well$5$ to$9$ bear$1$ to$9$ be denied her confidence 
304:345,22@b   | now; he hoped to$9$ be of service to$4$ her, he thought$1$ he must 
304:345,23@b   | be of service to$4$ her, whom$6#1$ else had she to$9$ open$1$ her heart 
304:345,24@b   | to$4$? If she did not need$1$ counsel$0$, she must need$1$ the comfort$0$ 
304:345,25@b   | of communication. $MP#A$Fanny estranged from him, 
304:345,26@b   | silent and reserved, was an unnatural state$0$ of things; 
304:345,27@b   | a state$0$ which$6#1$ he must break through$5$, and which$6#1$ he 
304:345,28@b   | could easily learn to$9$ think she was wanting him to$9$ break 
304:345,29@b   | through$5$. 
304:345,30[B  ]| "I will$1$ speak to$4$ her, Sir; I will$1$ take the first opportunity 
304:345,31[B  ]| of speaking to$4$ her alone," 
304:345,31['  ]| was the result$0$ of such 
304:345,32['  ]| thoughts as these; and upon$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's information 
304:346,01['  ]| of her being$1$ at that$6#2$ very time walking alone in$4$ the shrubbery, 
304:346,02['  ]| he instantly joined her. 
304:346,03[B  ]| "I am come to$9$ walk$1$ with you, $MP#A$Fanny," 
304:346,03['  ]| said he. 
304:346,04[B  ]| "Shall I?" ~~ 
304:346,04['  ]| (drawing her arm$0$ within his,) 
304:346,04[B  ]| "it is a long 
304:346,05[B  ]| while$0$ since we have had a comfortable walk$0$ together." 
304:346,06['  ]| She assented to$4$ it all rather by$4$ look$0$ than word. Her 
304:346,07['  ]| spirits were low. 
304:346,08[B  ]| "But, $MP#A$Fanny," 
304:346,08['  ]| he presently added, 
304:346,08[B  ]| "in$4$ order to$9$ have 
304:346,09[B  ]| a comfortable walk$0$, something more is necessary than 
304:346,10[B  ]| merely pacing this gravel together. You must talk$1$ to$4$ 
304:346,11[B  ]| me. I know you have something on$4$ your mind$0$. I know 
304:346,12[B  ]| what you are thinking of. You cannot suppose me uninformed. 
304:346,13[B  ]| Am I to$9$ hear of it from every*body but $MP#A$Fanny 
304:346,14[B  ]| herself?" 
304:346,15['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, at once agitated and dejected, replied, 
304:346,15[A  ]| "If you 
304:346,16[A  ]| hear of it from every*body, cousin, there can be nothing 
304:346,17[A  ]| for$4$ me to$9$ tell." 
304:346,18[B  ]| "Not of facts, perhaps; but of feelings, $MP#A$Fanny. No*one 
304:346,19[B  ]| but you can tell me them. I do not mean$1$ to$9$ press$1$ 
304:346,20[B  ]| you, however. If it is not what you wish$1$ yourself, I have 
304:346,21[B  ]| done. I had thought$1$ it might be a relief." 
304:346,22[A  ]| "I am afraid we think too$5#1$ differently, for$4$ me to$9$ find 
304:346,23[A  ]| any relief in$4$ talking of what I feel." 
304:346,24[B  ]| "Do you suppose that$3$ we think differently? I have 
304:346,25[B  ]| no$2$ idea of it. I dare$1#2$ say, that$3$ on$4$ a comparison of our 
304:346,26[B  ]| opinions, they would be found as much alike as they have 
304:346,27[B  ]| been used to$9$ be: to$4$ the point$0$ ~~ I consider $MP#D$Crawford's 
304:346,28[B  ]| proposals as most advantageous and desirable, if you could 
304:346,29[B  ]| return$1$ his affection. I consider it as most natural$2$ that$3$ all 
304:346,30[B  ]| your family should wish$1$ you could return$1$ it; but that$3$ 
304:346,31[B  ]| as you cannot, you have done exactly as you ought in$4$ 
304:346,32[B  ]| refusing him. Can there be any disagreement between 
304:346,33[B  ]| us here?" 
304:346,34[A  ]| "Oh no$7$! But I thought$1$ you blamed me. I thought$1$ 
304:346,35[A  ]| you were against me. This is such a comfort$0$." 
304:346,36[B  ]| "This comfort$0$ you might have had sooner, $MP#A$Fanny, had 
304:346,37[B  ]| you sought it. But how could you possibly suppose me 
304:346,38[B  ]| against you? How could you imagine me an advocate 
304:347,01[B  ]| for$4$ marriage without love$0$? Were I even$5$ careless in$4$ 
304:347,02[B  ]| general$0$ on$4$ such matters, how could you imagine me so$5#2$ 
304:347,03[B  ]| where \your\ happiness was at stake$0$?" 
304:347,04[A  ]| "My uncle thought$1$ me wrong, and I knew he had been 
304:347,05[A  ]| talking to$4$ you." 
304:347,06[B  ]| "As far as you have gone, $MP#A$Fanny, I think you perfectly 
304:347,07[B  ]| right$2#1$. I may$1$ be sorry, I may$1$ be surprised ~~ though 
304:347,08[B  ]| hardly \that$6#2$\, for$3$ you had not had time to$9$ attach yourself; 
304:347,09[B  ]| but I think you perfectly right$2#1$. Can it admit of a question$0$? 
304:347,10[B  ]| It is disgraceful to$4$ us if it does. You did not love$1$ 
304:347,11[B  ]| him ~~ nothing could have justified your accepting him." 
304:347,12['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had not felt so$5#1$ comfortable for$4$ days and days. 
304:347,13[B  ]| "So$5#1$ far your conduct$0$ has been faultless, and they were 
304:347,14[B  ]| quite mistaken who$6#1$ wished you to$9$ do otherwise. But the 
304:347,15[B  ]| matter does not end$1$ here. $MP#D$Crawford's is no$2$ common$2$ 
304:347,16[B  ]| attachment; he perseveres, with the hope$0$ of creating 
304:347,17[B  ]| that$6#2$ regard$0$ which$6#1$ had not been created before$5$. This, 
304:347,18[B  ]| we know, must be a work$0$ of time. But 
304:347,18['  ]| (with an affectionate 
304:347,19['  ]| smile$0$), 
304:347,19[B  ]| let him succeed at last$0$, $MP#A$Fanny, let him 
304:347,20[B  ]| succeed at last$0$. You have proved yourself upright and 
304:347,21[B  ]| disinterested, prove yourself grateful and tender-hearted; 
304:347,22[B  ]| and then you will$1$ be the perfect$2$ model of a woman, which$6#1$ 
304:347,23[B  ]| I have always believed you born$1#1$ for$4$." 
304:347,24[A  ]| "Oh! never, never, never; he never will$1$ succeed with 
304:347,25[A  ]| me." 
304:347,25['  ]| And she spoke with a warmth which$6#1$ quite astonished 
304:347,26['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, and which$6#1$ she blushed at the recollection 
304:347,27['  ]| of herself, when she saw his look$0$, and heard him reply$1$, 
304:347,28[B  ]| "Never, $MP#A$Fanny, so$5#1$ very determined and positive! This 
304:347,29[B  ]| is not like$4$ yourself, your rational self." 
304:347,30[A  ]| "I mean$1$," 
304:347,30['  ]| she cried, sorrowfully, correcting herself, 
304:347,31[A  ]| "that$3$ I \think\, I never shall, as far as the future can be 
304:347,32[A  ]| answered for$5$ ~~ I think I never shall return$1$ his regard$0$." 
304:347,33[B  ]| "I must hope$1$ better things. I am aware, more aware 
304:347,34[B  ]| than $MP#D$Crawford can be, that$3$ the man who$6#1$ means$1$ to$9$ make$1$ 
304:347,35[B  ]| you love$1$ him (you having due$2$ notice$0$ of his intentions), 
304:347,36[B  ]| must have very up-hill work$0$, for$3$ there are all your early 
304:347,37[B  ]| attachments, and habits, in$4$ battle array; and before$3$ he 
304:347,38[B  ]| can get your heart for$4$ his own$2$ use$0$, he has to$9$ unfasten it 
304:348,01[B  ]| from all the holds upon$4$ things animate$2$ and inanimate, 
304:348,02[B  ]| which$6#1$ so$5#1$ many years growth have confirmed, and which$6#1$ 
304:348,03[B  ]| are considerably tightened for$4$ the moment by$4$ the very 
304:348,04[B  ]| idea of separation. I know that$3$ the apprehension of 
304:348,05[B  ]| being$1$ forced to$9$ quit Mansfield will$1$ for$4$ a time be arming 
304:348,06[B  ]| you against him. I wish$1$ he had not been obliged to$9$ tell 
304:348,07[B  ]| you what he was trying$1$ for$4$. I wish$1$ he had known you 
304:348,08[B  ]| as well$5$ as I do, $MP#A$Fanny. Between us, I think we should 
304:348,09[B  ]| have won you. My theoretical and his practical knowledge 
304:348,10[B  ]| together, could not have failed. He should have 
304:348,11[B  ]| worked upon$4$ my plans. I must hope$1$, however, that$3$ time 
304:348,12[B  ]| proving him (as I firmly believe it will$1$), to$9$ deserve you 
304:348,13[B  ]| by$4$ his steady affection, will$1$ give him his reward$0$. I cannot 
304:348,14[B  ]| suppose that$3$ you have not the \wish$0$\ to$9$ love$1$ him ~~ the 
304:348,15[B  ]| natural$2$ wish$0$ of gratitude. You must have some feeling 
304:348,16[B  ]| of that$6#2$ sort. You must be sorry for$4$ your own$2$ indifference." 
304:348,17[A  ]| "We are so$5#1$ totally unlike," 
304:348,17['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, avoiding a 
304:348,18['  ]| direct$2$ answer$0$, 
304:348,18[A  ]| "we are so$5#1$ very, very different in$4$ all our 
304:348,19[A  ]| inclinations and ways, that$3$ I consider it as quite impossible 
304:348,20[A  ]| we should ever be tolerably happy together, even$5$ if 
304:348,21[A  ]| I \could\ like$1$ him. There never were two people more dissimilar. 
304:348,22[A  ]| We have not one taste in$4$ common$0$. We should 
304:348,23[A  ]| be miserable." 
304:348,24[B  ]| "You are mistaken, $MP#A$Fanny. The dissimilarity is not 
304:348,25[B  ]| so$5#1$ strong. You are quite enough alike. You \have\ tastes 
304:348,26[B  ]| in$4$ common$0$. You have moral and literary tastes in$4$ common$0$. 
304:348,27[B  ]| You have both warm$2$ hearts and benevolent feelings; 
304:348,28[B  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#2$ that$6#1$ heard him read, and saw you 
304:348,29[B  ]| listen to$4$ $MP#Z1$Shakespeare the other night, will$1$ think you 
304:348,30[B  ]| unfitted as companions? You forget yourself: there is 
304:348,31[B  ]| a decided difference in$4$ your tempers, I allow. He is lively, 
304:348,32[B  ]| you are serious$2$; but so$5#1$ much the better; his spirits will$1$ 
304:348,33[B  ]| support$1$ yours. It is your disposition to$9$ be easily dejected, 
304:348,34[B  ]| and to$9$ fancy$1$ difficulties greater than they are. His cheerfulness 
304:348,35[B  ]| will$1$ counteract this. He sees difficulties no*where; 
304:348,36[B  ]| and his pleasantness and gaiety will$1$ be a constant support$0$ 
304:348,37[B  ]| to$4$ you. Your being$1$ so$5#1$ far unlike, $MP#A$Fanny, does not in$4$ the 
304:348,38[B  ]| smallest degree make$1$ against the probability of your happiness 
304:349,01[B  ]| together: do not imagine it. I am myself convinced 
304:349,02[B  ]| that$3$ it is rather a favourable circumstance. I am 
304:349,03[B  ]| perfectly persuaded that$3$ the tempers had better be unlike; 
304:349,04[B  ]| I mean$1$ unlike in$4$ the flow$0$ of spirits, in$4$ the manners, in$4$ 
304:349,05[B  ]| the inclination for$4$ much or little company, in$4$ the propensity 
304:349,06[B  ]| to$9$ talk$1$ or to$9$ be silent, to$9$ be grave$2$ or to$9$ be gay. 
304:349,07[B  ]| Some opposition here is, I am thoroughly convinced, 
304:349,08[B  ]| friendly to$4$ matrimonial happiness. I exclude extremes 
304:349,09[B  ]| of course$8$; and a very close$2$ resemblance in$4$ all those points 
304:349,10[B  ]| would be the likeliest way to$9$ produce an extreme$0$. A 
304:349,11[B  ]| counteraction, gentle and continual, is the best safeguard 
304:349,12[B  ]| of manners and conduct$0$." 
304:349,13['  ]| Full well$5$ could $MP#A$Fanny guess$1$ where his thoughts were 
304:349,14['  ]| now. 
304:349,14@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's power was all returning. He had 
304:349,15@a   | been speaking of her cheerfully from the hour of his coming 
304:349,16@a   | home. His avoiding her was quite at an end$0$. He had 
304:349,17@a   | dined at the parsonage only the preceding day. 
304:349,18['  ]| After$4$ leaving him to$4$ his happier thoughts for$4$ some 
304:349,19['  ]| minutes, $MP#A$Fanny feeling it due$2$ to$4$ herself, returned to$4$ 
304:349,19['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
304:349,20['  ]| and said, 
304:349,20[A  ]| "It is not merely in$4$ \temper\ that$3$ I consider 
304:349,21[A  ]| him as totally unsuited to$4$ myself; though in$4$ \that$6#2$\ 
304:349,22[A  ]| respect$0$, I think the difference between us too$5#1$ great, 
304:349,23[A  ]| infinitely too$5#1$ great; his spirits often oppress me ~~ but 
304:349,24[A  ]| there is something in$4$ him which$6#1$ I object$1$ to$4$ still$5$ more. 
304:349,25[A  ]| I must say, cousin, that$3$ I cannot approve his character. 
304:349,26[A  ]| I have not thought$1$ well$5$ of him from the time of the play$0$. 
304:349,27[A  ]| I then saw him behaving, as it appeared to$4$ me, so$5#1$ very 
304:349,28[A  ]| improperly and unfeelingly, I may$1$ speak of it now because 
304:349,29[A  ]| it is all over ~~ so$5#1$ improperly by$4$ poor $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, not 
304:349,30[A  ]| seeming to$9$ care$1$ how he exposed or hurt him, and paying 
304:349,31[A  ]| attentions to$4$ my cousin $MP#H$Maria, which$6#1$ ~~ in$4$ short, at the 
304:349,32[A  ]| time of the play$0$, I received an impression which$6#1$ will$1$ never 
304:349,33[A  ]| be got over." 
304:349,34[B  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny," 
304:349,34['  ]| replied $MP#B$Edmund, scarcely hearing 
304:349,35['  ]| her to$4$ the end$0$, 
304:349,35[B  ]| "let us not, any of us, be judged by$4$ what 
304:349,36[B  ]| we appeared at that$6#2$ period of general$2$ folly. The time 
304:349,37[B  ]| of the play$0$, is a time which$6#1$ I hate to$9$ recollect. $MP#H$Maria 
304:349,38[B  ]| was wrong, $MP#D$Crawford was wrong, we were all wrong 
304:350,01[B  ]| together; but none so$5#1$ wrong as myself. Compared with 
304:350,02[B  ]| me, all the rest$0#1$ were blameless. I was playing the fool 
304:350,03[B  ]| with my eyes open$2$." 
304:350,04[A  ]| "As a by-stander," 
304:350,04['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, 
304:350,04[A  ]| "perhaps I saw more 
304:350,05[A  ]| than you did; and I do think that$3$ $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth was 
304:350,06[A  ]| sometimes very jealous." 
304:350,07[B  ]| "Very possibly. No$2$ wonder$0$. Nothing could be more 
304:350,08[B  ]| improper than the whole$2$ business. I am shocked whenever 
304:350,09[B  ]| I think that$3$ $MP#H$Maria could be capable of it; but if she 
304:350,10[B  ]| could undertake the part$0$, we must not be surprised at the 
304:350,11[B  ]| rest$0#1$." 
304:350,12[A  ]| "Before$4$ the play$0$, I am much mistaken, if \$MP#I$Julia\ did 
304:350,13[A  ]| not think he was paying her attentions." 
304:350,14[B  ]| "$MP#I$Julia! ~~ I have heard before$5$ from some*one of his 
304:350,15[B  ]| being$1$ in$4$ love$0$ with $MP#I$Julia, but I could never see anything 
304:350,16[B  ]| of it. And $MP#A$Fanny, though I hope$1$ I do justice to$4$ my 
304:350,17[B  ]| sisters' good qualities, I think it very possible that$3$ they 
304:350,18[B  ]| might, one or both, be more desirous of being$1$ admired 
304:350,19[B  ]| by$4$ $MP#D$Crawford, and might shew$1$ that$6#2$ desire$0$ rather more 
304:350,20[B  ]| unguardedly than was perfectly prudent. I can remember 
304:350,21[B  ]| that$3$ they were evidently fond of his society; and 
304:350,22[B  ]| with such encouragement, a man like$4$ $MP#D$Crawford, lively, 
304:350,23[B  ]| and it may$1$ be a little unthinking, might be led on$5$ to$9$ ~~ 
304:350,24[B  ]| There could be nothing very striking, because it is clear$2$ 
304:350,25[B  ]| that$3$ he had no$2$ pretensions; his heart was reserved for$4$ 
304:350,26[B  ]| you. And I must say, that$3$ its being$1$ for$4$ you, has raised 
304:350,27[B  ]| him inconceivably in$4$ my opinion. It does him the highest 
304:350,28[B  ]| honour$0$; it shews his proper estimation of the blessing of 
304:350,29[B  ]| domestic$2$ happiness, and pure attachment. It proves him 
304:350,30[B  ]| unspoilt by$4$ his uncle. It proves him, in$4$ short, every*thing 
304:350,31[B  ]| that$6#1$ I had been used to$9$ wish$1$ to$9$ believe him, and 
304:350,32[B  ]| feared he was not." 
304:350,33[A  ]| "I am persuaded that$3$ he does not think as he ought, 
304:350,34[A  ]| on$4$ serious$2$ subjects." 
304:350,35[B  ]| "Say rather, that$3$ he has not thought$1$ at all upon$4$ serious$2$ 
304:350,36[B  ]| subjects, which$6#1$ I believe to$9$ be a good deal$0$ the case. How 
304:350,37[B  ]| could it be otherwise, with such an education and adviser? 
304:350,38[B  ]| Under the disadvantages, indeed, which$6#1$ both have had, 
304:351,01[B  ]| is it not wonderful that$3$ they should be what they are? 
304:351,02[B  ]| $MP#D$Crawford's \feelings\, I am ready to$9$ acknowledge, have 
304:351,03[B  ]| hitherto been too$5#1$ much his guides. Happily, those feelings 
304:351,04[B  ]| have generally been good. You will$1$ supply$1$ the rest$0#1$; and 
304:351,05[B  ]| a most fortunate man he is to$9$ attach himself to$4$ such a 
304:351,06[B  ]| creature ~~ to$4$ a woman, who$6#1$ firm as a rock in$4$ her own$2$ principles, 
304:351,07[B  ]| has a gentleness of character so$5#1$ well$5$ adapted to$9$ 
304:351,08[B  ]| recommend them. He has chosen his partner, indeed, 
304:351,09[B  ]| with rare felicity. He will$1$ make$1$ you happy, $MP#A$Fanny, I 
304:351,10[B  ]| know he will$1$ make$1$ you happy; but you will$1$ make$1$ him 
304:351,11[B  ]| every*thing." 
304:351,12[A  ]| "I would not engage in$4$ such a charge$0$," 
304:351,12['  ]| cried $MP#A$Fanny 
304:351,13['  ]| in$4$ a shrinking accent ~~ 
304:351,13[A  ]| "in$4$ such an office of high responsibility!" 
304:351,14[A  ]| 
304:351,15[B  ]| "As usual, believing yourself unequal to$4$ anything! ~~ 
304:351,16[B  ]| fancying every*thing too$5#1$ much for$4$ you! Well$7$, though 
304:351,17[B  ]| I may$1$ not be able to$9$ persuade you into different feelings, 
304:351,18[B  ]| you will$1$ be persuaded into them I trust$1$. I confess myself 
304:351,19[B  ]| sincerely anxious that$3$ you may$1$. I have no$2$ common$2$ 
304:351,20[B  ]| interest$0$ in$4$ $MP#D$Crawford's well$5$ doing. Next to$4$ your happiness, 
304:351,21[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, his has the first claim$0$ on$4$ me. You are aware 
304:351,22[B  ]| of my having no$2$ common$2$ interest$0$ in$4$ $MP#D$Crawford." 
304:351,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was too$5#1$ well$5$ aware of it, to$9$ have anything to$9$ 
304:351,24['  ]| say; and they walked on$5$ together some fifty yards in$4$ 
304:351,25['  ]| mutual silence$0$ and abstraction. $MP#B$Edmund first began 
304:351,26['  ]| again: ~~ 
304:351,27[B  ]| "I was very much pleased by$4$ her manner of speaking 
304:351,28[B  ]| of it yesterday, particularly pleased, because I had not 
304:351,29[B  ]| depended upon$4$ her seeing every*thing in$4$ so$5#1$ just$2$ a light$0$. 
304:351,30[B  ]| I knew she was very fond of you, but yet I was afraid of 
304:351,31[B  ]| her not estimating your worth to$4$ her brother, quite as it 
304:351,32[B  ]| deserved, and of her regretting that$3$ he had not rather 
304:351,33[B  ]| fixed on$4$ some woman of distinction, or fortune. I was 
304:351,34[B  ]| afraid of the bias$0$ of those worldly maxims, which$6#1$ she has 
304:351,35[B  ]| been too$5#1$ much used to$9$ hear. But it was very different. 
304:351,36[B  ]| She spoke of you, $MP#A$Fanny, just$5$ as she ought. She desires 
304:351,37[B  ]| the connection as warmly as your uncle or myself. We 
304:351,38[B  ]| had a long talk$0$ about$4$ it. I should not have mentioned 
304:352,01[B  ]| the subject$0$, though very anxious to$9$ know her sentiments 
304:352,02[B  ]| ~~ but I had not been in$4$ the room five minutes, before$3$ she 
304:352,03[B  ]| began, introducing it with all that$6#2$ openness of heart, and 
304:352,04[B  ]| sweet peculiarity of manner, that$6#2$ spirit and ingenuousness, 
304:352,05[B  ]| which$6#1$ are so$5#1$ much a part$0$ of herself. $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
304:352,06[B  ]| laughed at her for$4$ her rapidity." 
304:352,07[A  ]| "Was $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant in$4$ the room, then?" 
304:352,08[B  ]| "Yes, when I reached the house I found the two sisters 
304:352,09[B  ]| together by$4$ themselves; and when once we had begun, 
304:352,10[B  ]| we had not done with you, $MP#A$Fanny, till $MP#D$Crawford and 
304:352,11[B  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant came in$5$." 
304:352,12[A  ]| "It is above$4$ a week since I saw $MP#C$Miss*Crawford." 
304:352,13[B  ]| "Yes, she laments it; yet owns it may$1$ have been best. 
304:352,14[B  ]| You will$1$ see her, however, before$3$ she goes. She is very 
304:352,15[B  ]| angry with you, $MP#A$Fanny; you must be prepared for$4$ that$6#2$. 
304:352,16[B  ]| She calls$1$ herself very angry, but you can imagine her 
304:352,17[B  ]| anger$0$. It is the regret$0$ and disappointment of a sister, 
304:352,18[B  ]| who$6#1$ thinks her brother has a right$0$ to$4$ every*thing he may$1$ 
304:352,19[B  ]| wish$1$ for$4$, at the first moment. She is hurt, as you would 
304:352,20[B  ]| be for$4$ $MP#Q$William; but she loves and esteems you with all 
304:352,21[B  ]| her heart." 
304:352,22[A  ]| "I knew she would be very angry with me." 
304:352,23[B  ]| "My dearest $MP#A$Fanny," 
304:352,23['  ]| cried $MP#B$Edmund, pressing her arm$0$ 
304:352,24['  ]| closer to$4$ him, 
304:352,24[B  ]| "do not let the idea of her anger$0$ distress$1$ 
304:352,25[B  ]| you. It is anger$0$ to$9$ be talked of, rather than felt. Her 
304:352,26[B  ]| heart is made for$4$ love$0$ and kindness, not for$4$ resentment. 
304:352,27[B  ]| I wish$1$ you could have overheard her tribute of praise$0$; 
304:352,28[B  ]| I wish$1$ you could have seen her countenance, when she 
304:352,29[B  ]| said that$3$ you \should\ be $MP#D$Henry's wife. And I observed, 
304:352,30[B  ]| that$3$ she always spoke of you as ""$MP#A$Fanny,"" which$6#1$ she was 
304:352,31[B  ]| never used to$9$ do; and it had a sound$0$ of most sisterly 
304:352,32[B  ]| cordiality." 
304:352,33[A  ]| "And $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, did she say ~~ did she speak ~~ was 
304:352,34[A  ]| she there all the time?" 
304:352,35[B  ]| "Yes, she was agreeing exactly with her sister. The 
304:352,36[B  ]| surprise$0$ of your refusal, $MP#A$Fanny, seems to$9$ have been 
304:352,37[B  ]| unbounded. That$3$ you could refuse such a man as $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, 
304:352,38[B  ]| seems more than they can understand. I said 
304:353,01[B  ]| what I could for$4$ you; but in$4$ good truth, as they stated the 
304:353,02[B  ]| case ~~ you must prove yourself to$9$ be in$4$ your senses as soon 
304:353,03[B  ]| as you can, by$4$ a different conduct$0$; nothing else will$1$ 
304:353,04[B  ]| satisfy them. But this is teazing you. I have done. Do 
304:353,05[B  ]| not turn$1$ away from me." 
304:353,06[A  ]| "I \should\ have thought$1$," 
304:353,06['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, after$4$ a pause$0$ of 
304:353,07['  ]| recollection and exertion, 
304:353,07[A  ]| "that$3$ every woman must have 
304:353,08[A  ]| felt the possibility of a man's not being$1$ approved, not 
304:353,09[A  ]| being$1$ loved by$4$ some one of her sex, at least, let him be ever 
304:353,10[A  ]| so$5#1$ generally agreeable. Let him have all the perfections 
304:353,11[A  ]| in$4$ the world, I think it ought not to$9$ be set$1$ down$5$ as certain, 
304:353,12[A  ]| that$3$ a man must be acceptable to$4$ every woman he may$1$ 
304:353,13[A  ]| happen to$9$ like$1$ himself. But even$5$ supposing it is so$5#2$, 
304:353,14[A  ]| allowing $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford to$9$ have all the claims which$6#1$ his 
304:353,15[A  ]| sisters think he has, how was I to$9$ be prepared to$9$ meet$1$ him 
304:353,16[A  ]| with any feeling answerable to$4$ his own$2$? He took me 
304:353,17[A  ]| wholly by$4$ surprise$0$. I had not an idea that$3$ his behaviour 
304:353,18[A  ]| to$4$ me before$5$ had any meaning; and surely I was not to$9$ 
304:353,19[A  ]| be teaching myself to$9$ like$1$ him only because he was taking, 
304:353,20[A  ]| what seemed, very idle notice$0$ of me. In$4$ my situation, it 
304:353,21[A  ]| would have been the extreme$0$ of vanity to$9$ be forming 
304:353,22[A  ]| expectations on$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. I am sure his sisters, 
304:353,23[A  ]| rating him as they do, must have thought$1$ it so$5#2$, supposing 
304:353,24[A  ]| he had meant nothing. How then was I to$9$ be ~~ to$9$ be in$4$ 
304:353,25[A  ]| love$0$ with him the moment he said he was with me? How 
304:353,26[A  ]| was I to$9$ have an attachment at his service, as soon as it 
304:353,27[A  ]| was asked for$5$? His sisters should consider me as well$5$ 
304:353,28[A  ]| as him. The higher his deserts, the more improper for$4$ 
304:353,29[A  ]| me ever to$9$ have thought$1$ of him. And, and ~~ we think 
304:353,30[A  ]| very differently of the nature of women, if they can 
304:353,31[A  ]| imagine a woman so$5#1$ very soon capable of returning an 
304:353,32[A  ]| affection as this seems to$9$ imply." 
304:353,33[B  ]| "My dear$2#1$, dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, now I have the truth. I know 
304:353,34[B  ]| this to$9$ be the truth; and most worthy of you are such 
304:353,35[B  ]| feelings. I had attributed them to$4$ you before$5$. I thought$1$ 
304:353,36[B  ]| I could understand you. You have now given exactly 
304:353,37[B  ]| the explanation which$6#1$ I ventured to$9$ make$1$ for$4$ you to$4$ your 
304:353,38[B  ]| friend and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, and they were both better satisfied, 
304:354,01[B  ]| though your warm-hearted friend was still$5$ run$1$ away with 
304:354,02[B  ]| a little, by$4$ the enthusiasm of her fondness for$4$ $MP#D$Henry. I 
304:354,03[B  ]| told them, that$3$ you were of all human creatures the one, 
304:354,04[B  ]| over whom$6#1$ habit had most power, and novelty least: 
304:354,05[B  ]| and that$3$ the very circumstance of the novelty of $MP#D$Crawford's 
304:354,06[B  ]| addresses was against him. Their being$1$ so$5#1$ new 
304:354,07[B  ]| and so$5#1$ recent was all in$4$ their disfavour; that$3$ you could 
304:354,08[B  ]| tolerate nothing that$6#1$ you were not used to$4$; and a great 
304:354,09[B  ]| deal$0$ more to$4$ the same purpose, to$9$ give them a knowledge 
304:354,10[B  ]| of your character. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford made us laugh$1$ by$4$ her 
304:354,11[B  ]| plans of encouragement for$4$ her brother. She meant to$9$ 
304:354,12[B  ]| urge him to$9$ persevere in$4$ the hope$0$ of being$1$ loved in$4$ time, 
304:354,13[B  ]| and of having his addresses most kindly received at the 
304:354,14[B  ]| end$0$ of about$4$ ten years' happy marriage." 
304:354,15['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could with difficulty give the smile$0$ that$6#1$ was here 
304:354,16['  ]| asked for$5$. Her feelings were all in$4$ revolt. 
304:354,16@a   | She feared 
304:354,17@a   | she had been doing wrong, saying too$5#1$ much, overacting 
304:354,18@a   | the caution$0$ which$6#1$ she had been fancying necessary, in$4$ 
304:354,19@a   | guarding against one evil, laying herself open$2$ to$4$ another, 
304:354,20@a   | and to$9$ have $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's liveliness repeated to$4$ her at 
304:354,21@a   | such a moment, and on$4$ such a subject$0$, was a bitter aggravation. 
304:354,22@a   | 
304:354,23['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund saw weariness and distress$0$ in$4$ her face$0$, and 
304:354,24['  ]| immediately resolved 
304:354,24@b   | to$9$ forbear all farther discussion; 
304:354,25@b   | and not even$5$ to$9$ mention$1$ the name$0$ of $MP#D$Crawford again, 
304:354,26@b   | except as it might be connected with what \must\ be agreeable 
304:354,27@b   | to$4$ her. 
304:354,27['  ]| On$4$ this principle, he soon afterwards observed, 
304:354,28[B  ]| "They go on$4$ Monday. You are sure therefore 
304:354,29[B  ]| of seeing your friend either to-morrow or Sunday. They 
304:354,30[B  ]| really go on$4$ Monday! and I was within a trifle$0$ of being$1$ 
304:354,31[B  ]| persuaded to$9$ stay$1$ at Lessingby till that$6#2$ very day! I had 
304:354,32[B  ]| almost promised it. What a difference it might have 
304:354,33[B  ]| made. Those five or six days more at Lessingby might 
304:354,34[B  ]| have been felt all my life." 
304:354,35[A  ]| "You were near$5$ staying there?" 
304:354,36[B  ]| "Very. I was most kindly pressed, and had nearly 
304:354,37[B  ]| consented. Had I received any letter from Mansfield, 
304:354,38[B  ]| to$9$ tell me how you were all going on$5$, I believe I should 
304:355,01[B  ]| certainly have stayed; but I knew nothing that$6#1$ had 
304:355,02[B  ]| happened here for$4$ a fortnight, and felt that$3$ I had been 
304:355,03[B  ]| away long enough." 
304:355,04[A  ]| "You spent your time pleasantly there." 
304:355,05[B  ]| "Yes; that$6#2$ is, it was the fault of my own$2$ mind$0$ if I did 
304:355,06[B  ]| not. They were all very pleasant. I doubt$1$ their finding 
304:355,07[B  ]| me so$5#2$. I took uneasiness with me, and there was no$2$ getting 
304:355,08[B  ]| rid of it till I was in$4$ Mansfield again." 
304:355,09[A  ]| "The $MP#ZZA$Miss*Owens ~~ you liked them, did not you?" 
304:355,10[B  ]| "Yes, very well$5$. Pleasant, good-humoured, unaffected 
304:355,11[B  ]| girls. But I am spoilt, $MP#A$Fanny, for$4$ common$2$ female$2$ society. 
304:355,12[B  ]| Good-humoured, unaffected girls, will$1$ not do for$4$ a man 
304:355,13[B  ]| who$6#1$ has been used to$4$ sensible$2#2$ women. They are two distinct 
304:355,14[B  ]| orders$0#1$ of being$0$. You and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford have made 
304:355,15[B  ]| me too$5#1$ nice." 
304:355,16['  ]| Still$5$, however, $MP#A$Fanny was oppressed and wearied; he 
304:355,17['  ]| saw it in$4$ her looks$0$, it could not be talked away, and 
304:355,18['  ]| attempting it no$2$ more, he led her directly with the kind$2$ 
304:355,19['  ]| authority of a privileged guardian into the house. 
305:356,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund now believed himself perfectly acquainted 
305:356,02['  ]| with all that$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny could tell, or could leave$1$ to$9$ be 
305:356,02['  ]| conjectured 
305:356,03['  ]| of her sentiments, and he was satisfied. ~~ 
305:356,03@b   | It had 
305:356,04@b   | been, as he before$5$ presumed, too$5#1$ hasty a measure$0$ on$4$ 
305:356,05@b   | $MP#D$Crawford's side$0$, and time must be given to$9$ make$1$ the idea 
305:356,06@b   | first familiar, and then agreeable to$4$ her. She must be 
305:356,07@b   | used to$4$ the consideration of his being$1$ in$4$ love$0$ with her, 
305:356,08@b   | and then a return$0$ of affection might not be very distant. 
305:356,09['  ]| He gave this opinion as the result$0$ of the conversation, 
305:356,10['  ]| to$4$ his father; and recommended 
305:356,10@b   | there being$1$ nothing more 
305:356,11@b   | said to$4$ her, no$2$ farther attempts to$9$ influence$1$ or persuade; 
305:356,12@b   | but that$3$ every*thing should be left to$4$ $MP#D$Crawford's assiduities, 
305:356,13@b   | and the natural$2$ workings of her own$2$ mind$0$. 
305:356,14['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas promised that$3$ it should be so$5#2$. 
305:356,14@e   | $MP#B$Edmund's 
305:356,15@e   | account$0$ of $MP#A$Fanny's disposition he could believe to$9$ be just$2$, 
305:356,16@e   | he supposed she had all those feelings, but he must consider 
305:356,17@e   | it as very unfortunate that$3$ she \had\; for$3$, less willing 
305:356,18@e   | than his son to$9$ trust$1$ to$4$ the future, he could not help$1$ fearing 
305:356,19@e   | that$3$ if such very long allowances of time and habit 
305:356,20@e   | were necessary for$4$ her, she might not have persuaded herself 
305:356,21@e   | into receiving his addresses properly, before$3$ the young 
305:356,22@e   | man's inclination for$4$ paying them were over. There was 
305:356,23@e   | nothing to$9$ be done, however, but to$9$ submit quietly, and 
305:356,24@e   | hope$1$ the best. 
305:356,25['  ]| The promised visit$0$ from her "friend," as $MP#B$Edmund called 
305:356,26['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, was a formidable threat to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and she 
305:356,27['  ]| lived in$4$ continual terror of it. 
305:356,27@a   | As a sister, so$5#1$ partial and 
305:356,28@a   | so$5#1$ angry, and so$5#1$ little scrupulous of what she said; and 
305:356,29@a   | in$4$ another light$0$, so$5#1$ triumphant and secure$2$, she was in$4$ 
305:356,30@a   | every way an object$0$ of painful alarm$0$. Her displeasure, 
305:356,31@a   | her penetration, and her happiness were all fearful to$9$ 
305:356,32@a   | encounter; 
305:356,32['  ]| and the dependence of having others present$5$ 
305:357,01['  ]| when they met, was $MP#A$Fanny's only support$0$ in$4$ looking forward$5$ 
305:357,02['  ]| to$4$ it. She absented herself as little as possible from 
305:357,03['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, kept away from the east*room, and took 
305:357,04['  ]| no$2$ solitary walk$0$ in$4$ the shrubbery, in$4$ her caution$0$ to$9$ avoid 
305:357,05['  ]| any sudden$2$ attack$0$. 
305:357,06['  ]| She succeeded. She was safe in$4$ the breakfast-room, 
305:357,07['  ]| with her aunt, when $MP#C$Miss*Crawford did come; 
305:357,07@a   | and the 
305:357,08@a   | first misery over, and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford looking and speaking 
305:357,09@a   | with much less particularity of expression than she had 
305:357,10@a   | anticipated, 
305:357,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny began to$9$ hope$1$ 
305:357,10@a   | there would be nothing 
305:357,11@a   | worse to$9$ be endured than an half-hour of moderate agitation. 
305:357,12['  ]| But here she hoped too$5#1$ much, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
305:357,13['  ]| was not the slave of opportunity. She was determined 
305:357,14['  ]| to$9$ see $MP#A$Fanny alone, and therefore said to$4$ her tolerably 
305:357,15['  ]| soon, in$4$ a low voice, 
305:357,15[C  ]| "I must speak to$4$ you for$4$ a few minutes 
305:357,16[C  ]| somewhere;" 
305:357,16['  ]| words that$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny felt all over her, in$4$ all 
305:357,17['  ]| her pulses, and all her nerves. 
305:357,17@a   | Denial was impossible. 
305:357,18['  ]| Her habits of ready submission, on$4$ the contrary, made her 
305:357,19['  ]| almost instantly rise$1$ and lead$1$ the way out$5$ of the room. 
305:357,20['  ]| She did it with wretched feelings, but it was inevitable. 
305:357,21['  ]| They were no$2$ sooner in$4$ the hall than all restraint of 
305:357,22['  ]| countenance was over on$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's side$0$. She 
305:357,23['  ]| immediately shook her head$0$ at $MP#A$Fanny with arch, yet 
305:357,24['  ]| affectionate reproach$0$, and taking her hand$0$, seemed hardly 
305:357,25['  ]| able to$9$ help$1$ beginning directly. She said nothing, however, 
305:357,26['  ]| but, 
305:357,26[C  ]| "Sad, sad girl! I do not know when I shall 
305:357,27[C  ]| have done scolding you," 
305:357,27['  ]| and had discretion enough to$9$ 
305:357,28['  ]| reserve$1$ the rest$0#1$ till they might be secure$2$ of having four 
305:357,29['  ]| walls to$4$ themselves. $MP#A$Fanny naturally turned up*stairs, 
305:357,30['  ]| and took her guest to$4$ the apartment which$6#1$ was now always 
305:357,31['  ]| fit$2$ for$4$ comfortable use$0$; opening the door, however, with 
305:357,32['  ]| a most aching heart, 
305:357,32@a   | and feeling that$3$ she had a more distressing 
305:357,33@a   | scene before$4$ her than ever that$6#2$ spot had yet witnessed. 
305:357,34['  ]| But the evil ready to$9$ burst$1$ on$4$ her, was at least 
305:357,35['  ]| delayed by$4$ the sudden$2$ change$0$ in$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's ideas; 
305:357,36['  ]| by$4$ the strong effect$0$ on$4$ her mind$0$ which$6#1$ the finding herself 
305:357,37['  ]| in$4$ the east*room again produced. 
305:357,38[C  ]| "Ha!" 
305:357,38['  ]| she cried, with instant$2$ animation, 
305:357,38[C  ]| "am I here 
305:358,01[C  ]| again? The east*room. Once only was I in$4$ this room 
305:358,02[C  ]| before$5$!" ~~ 
305:358,02['  ]| and after$4$ stopping to$9$ look$1$ about$4$ her, and 
305:358,03['  ]| seemingly to$9$ retrace all that$6#1$ had then passed, she added, 
305:358,04[C  ]| "Once only before$5$. Do you remember it? I came to$9$ 
305:358,05[C  ]| rehearse. Your cousin came too$5#2$; and we had a rehearsal. 
305:358,06[C  ]| You were our audience and prompter. A delightful 
305:358,07[C  ]| rehearsal. I shall never forget it. Here we were, just$5$ 
305:358,08[C  ]| in$4$ this part$0$ of the room; here was your cousin, here was 
305:358,09[C  ]| I, here were the chairs. ~~ Oh! why will$1$ such things ever 
305:358,10[C  ]| pass$1$ away?" 
305:358,11['  ]| Happily for$4$ her companion, she wanted no$2$ answer$0$. 
305:358,12['  ]| Her mind$0$ was entirely self-engrossed. She was in$4$ a reverie 
305:358,13['  ]| of sweet remembrances. 
305:358,14[C  ]| "The scene we were rehearsing was so$5#1$ very remarkable! 
305:358,15[C  ]| The subject$0$ of it so$5#1$ very ~~ very ~~ what shall I say? He 
305:358,16[C  ]| was to$9$ be describing and recommending matrimony to$4$ me. 
305:358,17[C  ]| I think I see him now, trying$1$ to$9$ be as demure and composed 
305:358,18[C  ]| as $MP#ZZO$Anhalt ought, through$4$ the two long speeches. 
305:358,19@z   | ""When two sympathetic hearts meet$1$ in$4$ the marriage state$0$, 
305:358,20@z   | matrimony may$1$ be called a happy life."" 
305:358,20[C  ]| I suppose no$2$ 
305:358,21[C  ]| time can ever wear out$5$ the impression I have of his looks$0$ 
305:358,22[C  ]| and voice, as he said those words. It was curious, very 
305:358,23[C  ]| curious, that$3$ we should have such a scene to$9$ play$1$! If I 
305:358,24[C  ]| had the power of recalling any one week of my existence, 
305:358,25[C  ]| it should be that$6#2$ week, that$6#2$ acting week. Say what you 
305:358,26[C  ]| would, $MP#A$Fanny, it should be \that$6#2$\; for$3$ I never knew such 
305:358,27[C  ]| exquisite happiness in$4$ any other. His sturdy spirit to$9$ 
305:358,28[C  ]| bend$1$ as it did! Oh! it was sweet beyond$4$ expression. 
305:358,29[C  ]| But alas! that$6#2$ very evening destroyed it all. That$6#2$ very 
305:358,30[C  ]| evening brought your most unwelcome uncle. Poor $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
305:358,31[C  ]| who$6#2$ was glad to$9$ see you? Yet, $MP#A$Fanny, do not 
305:358,32[C  ]| imagine I would now speak disrespectfully of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
305:358,33[C  ]| though I certainly did hate him for$4$ many a week. No$7$, 
305:358,34[C  ]| I do him justice now. He is just$5$ what the head$0$ of such 
305:358,35[C  ]| a family should be. Nay, in$4$ sober sadness, I believe I 
305:358,36[C  ]| now love$1$ you all." 
305:358,36['  ]| And having said so$5#2$, with a degree of 
305:358,37['  ]| tenderness and consciousness which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny had never seen 
305:358,38['  ]| in$4$ her before$5$, and now thought$1$ only too$5#1$ becoming, she 
305:359,01['  ]| turned away for$4$ a moment to$9$ recover herself. 
305:359,01[C  ]| "I have 
305:359,02[C  ]| had a little fit$0$ since I came into this room, as you may$1$ 
305:359,03[C  ]| perceive," 
305:359,03['  ]| said she presently, with a playful smile$0$, 
305:359,03[C  ]| "but 
305:359,04[C  ]| it is over now; so$3$ let us sit down$5$ and be comfortable; 
305:359,05[C  ]| for$3$ as to$4$ scolding you, $MP#A$Fanny, which$6#1$ I came fully intending 
305:359,06[C  ]| to$9$ do, I have not the heart for$4$ it when it comes to$4$ the 
305:359,07[C  ]| point$0$." 
305:359,07['  ]| And embracing her very affectionately, ~~ 
305:359,07[C  ]| "Good, 
305:359,08[C  ]| gentle $MP#A$Fanny! when I think of this being$1$ the last$2$ time of 
305:359,09[C  ]| seeing you; for$3$ I do not know how long ~~ I feel it quite 
305:359,10[C  ]| impossible to$9$ do any*thing but love$1$ you." 
305:359,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was affected. She had not foreseen anything 
305:359,12['  ]| of this, and her feelings could seldom withstand the melancholy$2$ 
305:359,13['  ]| influence$0$ of the word "last$0$." She cried as if she 
305:359,14['  ]| had loved $MP#C$Miss*Crawford more than she possibly could; 
305:359,15['  ]| and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, yet farther softened by$4$ the sight of 
305:359,16['  ]| such emotion, hung about$4$ her with fondness, and said, 
305:359,17[C  ]| "I hate to$9$ leave$1$ you. I shall see no*one half so$5#1$ amiable 
305:359,18[C  ]| where I am going. Who$6#2$ says we shall not be sisters? 
305:359,19[C  ]| I know we shall. I feel that$3$ we are born$1#1$ to$9$ be connected; 
305:359,20[C  ]| and those tears convince me that$3$ you feel it too$5#2$, dear$2#1$ 
305:359,21[C  ]| $MP#A$Fanny." 
305:359,22['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny roused herself, and replying only in$4$ part$0$, said, 
305:359,23[A  ]| "But you are only going from one set$0$ of friends to$4$ another. 
305:359,24[A  ]| You are going to$4$ a very particular friend." 
305:359,25[C  ]| "Yes, very true. $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser has been my intimate$2$ 
305:359,26[C  ]| friend for$4$ years. But I have not the least inclination to$9$ 
305:359,27[C  ]| go near$4$ her. I can think only of the friends I am leaving; 
305:359,28[C  ]| my excellent sister, yourself, and the $MP#E1$Bertrams in$4$ general$0$. 
305:359,29[C  ]| You have all so$5#1$ much more \heart\ among you, than one 
305:359,30[C  ]| finds in$4$ the world at large. You all give me a feeling of 
305:359,31[C  ]| being$1$ able to$9$ trust$1$ and confide in$4$ you; which$6#1$, in$4$ common$2$ 
305:359,32[C  ]| intercourse, one knows nothing of. I wish$1$ I had settled 
305:359,33[C  ]| with $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser not to$9$ go to$4$ her till after$4$ Easter, a much 
305:359,34[C  ]| better time for$4$ the visit$0$ ~~ but now I cannot put her off. 
305:359,35[C  ]| And when I have done with her, I must go to$4$ her sister, 
305:359,36[C  ]| $MP#ZZI$Lady*Stornaway, because \she\ was rather my most particular 
305:359,37[C  ]| friend of the two; but I have not cared much for$4$ 
305:359,38[C  ]| \her\ these three years." 
305:360,01['  ]| After$4$ this speech, the two girls sat many minutes silent, 
305:360,02['  ]| each thoughtful; $MP#A$Fanny meditating on$4$ the different sorts 
305:360,03['  ]| of friendship in$4$ the world, $MP#C$Mary on$4$ something of less 
305:360,04['  ]| philosophic tendency. \She\ first spoke again. 
305:360,05[C  ]| "How perfectly I remember my resolving to$9$ look$1$ for$4$ 
305:360,06[C  ]| you up*stairs; and setting off to$9$ find my way to$4$ the east*room, 
305:360,07[C  ]| without having an idea whereabouts it was! How 
305:360,08[C  ]| well$5$ I remember what I was thinking of as I came along$5$; 
305:360,09[C  ]| and my looking in$5$ and seeing you here, sitting at this table 
305:360,10[C  ]| at work$0$; and then your cousin's astonishment when he 
305:360,11[C  ]| opened the door at seeing me here! To$9$ be sure, your 
305:360,12[C  ]| uncle's returning that$6#2$ very evening! There never was 
305:360,13[C  ]| anything quite like$4$ it." 
305:360,14['  ]| Another short fit$0$ of abstraction followed ~~ when, shaking 
305:360,15['  ]| it off, she thus attacked her companion. 
305:360,16[C  ]| "Why, $MP#A$Fanny, you are absolutely in$4$ a reverie! 
305:360,17[C  ]| Thinking, I hope$1$, of one who$6#1$ is always thinking of you. 
305:360,18[C  ]| Oh! that$3$ I could transport you for$4$ a short time into our 
305:360,19[C  ]| circle in$4$ town, that$3$ you might understand how your power 
305:360,20[C  ]| over $MP#D$Henry is thought$1$ of there! Oh! the envyings and 
305:360,21[C  ]| heart-burnings of dozens and dozens! the wonder$0$, the 
305:360,22[C  ]| incredulity that$6#1$ will$1$ be felt at hearing what you have 
305:360,23[C  ]| done! For$3$ as to$4$ secrecy, $MP#D$Henry is quite the hero of an 
305:360,24[C  ]| old romance, and glories in$4$ his chains. You should come 
305:360,25[C  ]| to$4$ London, to$9$ know how to$9$ estimate$1$ your conquest. If 
305:360,26[C  ]| you were to$9$ see how he is courted, and how I am courted 
305:360,27[C  ]| for$4$ his sake! Now I am well$5$ aware, that$3$ I shall not be 
305:360,28[C  ]| half so$5#1$ welcome$2$ to$4$ $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser in$4$ consequence of his 
305:360,28[C  ]| situation 
305:360,29[C  ]| with you. When she comes to$9$ know the truth, she 
305:360,30[C  ]| will$1$ very likely wish$1$ me in$4$ Northamptonshire again; for$3$ 
305:360,31[C  ]| there is a daughter of $MP#ZH$Mr%*Fraser by$4$ a first wife, whom$6#1$ she 
305:360,32[C  ]| is wild to$9$ get married, and wants$1$ $MP#D$Henry to$9$ take. Oh! 
305:360,33[C  ]| she has been trying$1$ for$4$ him to$4$ such a degree! Innocent 
305:360,34[C  ]| and quiet$2$ as you sit here, you cannot have an idea of the 
305:360,35[C  ]| \sensation$0#1$\ that$6#1$ you will$1$ be occasioning, of the curiosity 
305:360,36[C  ]| there will$1$ be to$9$ see you, of the endless questions I shall 
305:360,37[C  ]| have to$9$ answer$1$! Poor $MP#ZH$Margaret*Fraser will$1$ be at me for*ever 
305:360,38[C  ]| about$4$ your eyes and your teeth, and how you do 
305:361,01[C  ]| your hair, and who$6#1$ makes your shoes. I wish$1$ $MP#ZH$Margaret 
305:361,02[C  ]| were married, for$4$ my poor friend's sake, for$3$ I look$1$ upon$4$ 
305:361,03[C  ]| the $MP#ZH$Frasers to$9$ be about$4$ as unhappy as most other married 
305:361,04[C  ]| people. And yet it was a most desirable match$0$ for$4$ $MP#ZH$Janet 
305:361,05[C  ]| at the time. We were all delighted. She could not do 
305:361,06[C  ]| otherwise than accept him, for$3$ he was rich, and she had 
305:361,07[C  ]| nothing; but he turns$1$ out$5$ ill-tempered, and \exigeant\; 
305:361,08[C  ]| and wants$1$ a young woman, a beautiful young woman of 
305:361,09[C  ]| five-and-twenty, to$9$ be as steady as himself. And my 
305:361,10[C  ]| friend does not manage him well$5$; she does not seem to$9$ 
305:361,11[C  ]| know how to$9$ make$1$ the best of it. There is a spirit of 
305:361,12[C  ]| irritation, which$6#1$, to$9$ say nothing worse, is certainly very 
305:361,13[C  ]| ill-bred. In$4$ their house I shall call$1$ to$4$ mind$0$ the conjugal 
305:361,14[C  ]| manners of Mansfield*Parsonage with respect$0$. Even$5$ 
305:361,15[C  ]| $MP#M$Dr%*Grant does shew$1$ a thorough confidence in$4$ my sister, 
305:361,16[C  ]| and a certain consideration for$4$ her judgment, which$6#1$ makes 
305:361,17[C  ]| one feel there \is\ attachment; but of that$6#2$, I shall see 
305:361,18[C  ]| nothing with the $MP#ZH$Frasers. I shall be at Mansfield for*ever, 
305:361,19[C  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. My own$2$ sister as a wife, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas*Bertram as 
305:361,20[C  ]| a husband, are my standards of perfection. Poor $MP#ZH$Janet 
305:361,21[C  ]| has been sadly taken in$5$; and yet there was nothing 
305:361,22[C  ]| improper on$4$ her side$0$; she did not run$1$ into the match$0$ 
305:361,23[C  ]| inconsiderately, there was no$2$ want$0$ of foresight. She 
305:361,24[C  ]| took three days to$9$ consider of his proposals; and during 
305:361,25[C  ]| those three days asked the advice of every*body connected 
305:361,26[C  ]| with her, whose$6#1$ opinion was worth having; and especially 
305:361,27[C  ]| applied to$4$ my late dear$2#1$ aunt, whose$6#1$ knowledge of the 
305:361,28[C  ]| world made her judgment very generally and deservedly 
305:361,29[C  ]| looked up$5$ to$5$ by$4$ all the young people of her acquaintance; 
305:361,30[C  ]| and she was decidedly in$4$ favour$0$ of $MP#ZH$Mr%*Fraser. This 
305:361,31[C  ]| seems as if nothing were a security for$4$ matrimonial comfort$0$! 
305:361,32[C  ]| I have not so$5#1$ much to$9$ say for$4$ my friend $MP#ZZI$Flora, 
305:361,33[C  ]| who$6#1$ jilted a very nice young man in$4$ the Blues, for$4$ the 
305:361,34[C  ]| sake of that$6#2$ horrid $MP#ZZI$Lord*Stornaway, who$6#1$ has about$4$ as 
305:361,35[C  ]| much sense, $MP#A$Fanny, as $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth, but much worse 
305:361,36[C  ]| looking, and with a blackguard character. I \had\ my 
305:361,37[C  ]| doubts$0$ at the time about$4$ her being$1$ right$2#1$, for$3$ he has not 
305:361,38[C  ]| even$5$ the air of a gentleman, and now, I am sure, she was 
305:362,01[C  ]| wrong. By*the*bye, $MP#ZI$Flora*Ross was dying for$4$ $MP#D$Henry the 
305:362,02[C  ]| first winter she came out$5$. But were I to$9$ attempt$1$ to$9$ tell 
305:362,03[C  ]| you of all the women whom$6#1$ I have known to$9$ be in$4$ love$0$ 
305:362,04[C  ]| with him, I should never have done. It is you only, you, 
305:362,05[C  ]| insensible $MP#A$Fanny, who$6#1$ can think of him with any*thing 
305:362,06[C  ]| like$4$ indifference. But are you so$5#1$ insensible as you profess 
305:362,07[C  ]| yourself? No$7$, no$7$, I see you are not." 
305:362,08['  ]| There was indeed so$5#1$ deep a blush$0$ over $MP#A$Fanny's face$0$ at 
305:362,09['  ]| that$6#2$ moment, as might warrant strong suspicion in$4$ a predisposed 
305:362,10['  ]| mind$0$. 
305:362,11[C  ]| "Excellent creature! I will$1$ not teaze you. Every*thing 
305:362,12[C  ]| shall take its course$0$. But dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, you must 
305:362,13[C  ]| allow that$3$ you were not so$5#1$ absolutely unprepared to$9$ have 
305:362,14[C  ]| the question$0$ asked as your cousin fancies$1$. It is not possible, 
305:362,15[C  ]| but that$3$ you must have had some thoughts on$4$ the 
305:362,16[C  ]| subject$0$, some surmises as to$4$ what might be. You must 
305:362,17[C  ]| have seen that$3$ he was trying$1$ to$9$ please you, by$4$ every attention 
305:362,18[C  ]| in$4$ his power. Was not he devoted to$4$ you at the ball$0#2$? 
305:362,19[C  ]| And then before$4$ the ball$0#2$, the necklace! Oh! you received 
305:362,20[C  ]| it just$5$ as it was meant. You were as conscious as heart 
305:362,21[C  ]| could desire$1$. I remember it perfectly." 
305:362,22[A  ]| "Do you mean$1$ then that$3$ your brother knew of the 
305:362,23[A  ]| necklace beforehand? Oh! $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, \that$6#2$\ was not 
305:362,24[A  ]| fair." 
305:362,25[C  ]| "Knew of it! it was his own$2$ doing entirely, his own$2$ 
305:362,26[C  ]| thought$0$. I am ashamed to$9$ say, that$3$ it had never entered 
305:362,27[C  ]| my head$0$; but I was delighted to$9$ act$1$ on$4$ his proposal, for$4$ 
305:362,28[C  ]| both your sakes." 
305:362,29[A  ]| "I will$1$ not say," 
305:362,29['  ]| replied $MP#A$Fanny, 
305:362,29[A  ]| "that$3$ I was not half 
305:362,30[A  ]| afraid at the time, of its being$1$ so$5#2$; for$3$ there was something 
305:362,31[A  ]| in$4$ your look$0$ that$6#1$ frightened me ~~ but not at first ~~ 
305:362,32[A  ]| I was as unsuspicious of it at first! ~~ indeed, indeed I was. 
305:362,33[A  ]| It is as true as that$3$ I sit here. And had I had an idea of 
305:362,34[A  ]| it, nothing should have induced me to$9$ accept the necklace. 
305:362,35[A  ]| As to$4$ your brother's behaviour, certainly I was sensible$2#1$ 
305:362,36[A  ]| of a particularity, I had been sensible$2#1$ of it some little 
305:362,37[A  ]| time, perhaps two or three weeks; but then I considered 
305:362,38[A  ]| it as meaning nothing, I put it down$5$ as simply being$1$ his 
305:363,01[A  ]| way, and was as far from supposing as from wishing him 
305:363,02[A  ]| to$9$ have any serious$2$ thoughts of me. I had not, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
305:363,03[A  ]| been an inattentive observer of what was passing 
305:363,04[A  ]| between him and some part$0$ of this family in$4$ the 
305:363,05[A  ]| summer and autumn. I was quiet$2$, but I was not blind$2$. 
305:363,06[A  ]| I could not but see that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford allowed himself in$4$ 
305:363,07[A  ]| gallantries which$6#1$ did mean$1$ nothing." 
305:363,08[C  ]| "Ah! I cannot deny it. He has now and then been 
305:363,09[C  ]| a sad flirt, and cared very little for$4$ the havock he might 
305:363,10[C  ]| be making in$4$ young ladies' affections. I have often 
305:363,11[C  ]| scolded him for$4$ it, but it is his only fault; and there is 
305:363,12[C  ]| this to$9$ be said, that$3$ very few young ladies have any affections 
305:363,13[C  ]| worth caring for$4$. And then, $MP#A$Fanny, the glory$0$ of 
305:363,14[C  ]| fixing one who$6#1$ has been shot at by$4$ so$5#1$ many; of having 
305:363,15[C  ]| it in$4$ one's power to$9$ pay$1$ off the debts of one's sex! Oh, 
305:363,16[C  ]| I am sure it is not in$4$ woman's nature to$9$ refuse such a 
305:363,17[C  ]| triumph$0$." 
305:363,18['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny shook her head$0$. 
305:363,18[A  ]| "I cannot think well$5$ of a man 
305:363,19[A  ]| who$6#1$ sports$1$ with any woman's feelings; and there may$1$ 
305:363,20[A  ]| often be a great deal$0$ more suffered than a stander-by can 
305:363,21[A  ]| judge$1$ of." 
305:363,22[C  ]| "I do not defend him. I leave$1$ him entirely to$4$ your 
305:363,23[C  ]| mercy; and when he has got you at Everingham, I do 
305:363,24[C  ]| not care$1$ how much you lecture him. But this I will$1$ say, 
305:363,25[C  ]| that$3$ his fault, the liking to$9$ make$1$ girls a little in$4$ love$0$ with 
305:363,26[C  ]| him, is not half so$5#1$ dangerous to$4$ a wife's happiness, as a 
305:363,27[C  ]| tendency to$9$ fall$1$ in$4$ love$0$ himself, which$6#1$ he has never been 
305:363,28[C  ]| addicted to$4$. And I do seriously and truly believe that$3$ 
305:363,29[C  ]| he is attached to$4$ you in$4$ a way that$6#1$ he never was to$4$ any 
305:363,30[C  ]| woman before$5$; that$3$ he loves you with all his heart, and 
305:363,31[C  ]| will$1$ love$1$ you as nearly for*ever as possible. If any man 
305:363,32[C  ]| ever loved a woman for*ever, I think $MP#D$Henry will$1$ do as 
305:363,33[C  ]| much for$4$ you." 
305:363,34['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not avoid a faint$2$ smile$0$, but had nothing 
305:363,35['  ]| to$9$ say. 
305:363,36[C  ]| "I cannot imagine $MP#D$Henry ever to$9$ have been happier," 
305:363,37['  ]| continued $MP#C$Mary, presently, 
305:363,37[C  ]| "than when he had succeeded 
305:363,38[C  ]| in$4$ getting your brother's commission." 
305:364,01['  ]| She had made a sure push$0$ at $MP#A$Fanny's feelings here. 
305:364,02[A  ]| "Oh! yes. How very, very kind$2$ of him!" 
305:364,03[C  ]| "I know he must have exerted himself very much, for$3$ 
305:364,04[C  ]| I know the parties he had to$9$ move$1$. The $MP#ZF$Admiral hates 
305:364,05[C  ]| trouble$0$, and scorns asking favours; and there are so$5#1$ many 
305:364,06[C  ]| young men's claims to$9$ be attended to$5$ in$4$ the same way, 
305:364,07[C  ]| that$3$ a friendship and energy, not very determined, is 
305:364,08[C  ]| easily put by$5$. What a happy creature $MP#Q$William must be! 
305:364,09[C  ]| I wish$1$ we could see him." 
305:364,10['  ]| Poor $MP#A$Fanny's mind$0$ was thrown into the most distressing 
305:364,11['  ]| of all its varieties. The recollection of what had been done 
305:364,12['  ]| for$4$ $MP#Q$William was always the most powerful disturber of 
305:364,13['  ]| every decision against $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford; and she sat thinking 
305:364,14['  ]| deeply of it till $MP#C$Mary, who$6#1$ had been first watching her 
305:364,15['  ]| complacently, and then musing on$4$ something else, suddenly 
305:364,16['  ]| called her attention, by$4$ saying, 
305:364,16[C  ]| "I should like$1$ to$9$ 
305:364,17[C  ]| sit talking with you here all day, but we must not forget 
305:364,18[C  ]| the ladies below, and so$3$ good*bye, my dear$2#1$, my amiable, 
305:364,19[C  ]| my excellent $MP#A$Fanny, for$3$ though we shall nominally part$0$ 
305:364,20[C  ]| in$4$ the breakfast*parlour, I must take leave$0$ of you here. 
305:364,21[C  ]| And I do take leave$0$, longing for$4$ a happy re-union, and 
305:364,22[C  ]| trusting, that$3$ when we meet$1$ again, it will$1$ be under circumstances 
305:364,23[C  ]| which$6#1$ may$1$ open$2$ our hearts to$4$ each other 
305:364,24[C  ]| without any remnant or shadow of reserve$0$." 
305:364,25['  ]| A very, very kind$2$ embrace$0$, and some agitation of 
305:364,26['  ]| manner, accompanied these words. 
305:364,27[C  ]| "I shall see your cousin in$4$ town soon; he talks of being$1$ 
305:364,28[C  ]| there tolerably soon; and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, I dare$1#2$ say, in$4$ the 
305:364,29[C  ]| course$0$ of the spring$0$; and your eldest cousin and the 
305:364,30[C  ]| $MP#K1$Rushworths and $MP#I$Julia I am sure of meeting again and 
305:364,31[C  ]| again, and all but you. I have two favours to$9$ ask, 
305:364,32[C  ]| $MP#A$Fanny; one is your correspondence. You must write to$4$ 
305:364,33[C  ]| me. And the other, that$3$ you will$1$ often call$1$ on$4$ $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant 
305:364,34[C  ]| and make$1$ her amends for$4$ my being$1$ gone." 
305:364,35['  ]| The first, at least, of these favours $MP#A$Fanny would rather 
305:364,36['  ]| not have been asked; but it was impossible for$4$ her to$9$ 
305:364,37['  ]| refuse the correspondence; it was impossible for$4$ her even$5$ 
305:364,38['  ]| not to$9$ accede to$4$ it more readily than her own$2$ judgment 
305:365,01['  ]| authorised. There was no$2$ resisting so$5#1$ much apparent 
305:365,02['  ]| affection. Her disposition was peculiarly calculated to$9$ 
305:365,03['  ]| value$1$ a fond treatment, and from having hitherto known 
305:365,04['  ]| so$5#1$ little of it, she was the more overcome by$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's. 
305:365,05['  ]| Besides, there was gratitude towards her, for$4$ 
305:365,06['  ]| having made their te^te*a`*te^te so$5#1$ much less painful than 
305:365,07['  ]| her fears had predicted. 
305:365,08@a   | It was over, and she had escaped without reproaches 
305:365,09@a   | and without detection. Her secret$0$ was still$5$ her own$2$; 
305:365,10@a   | and while$3$ that$6#2$ was the case, she thought$1$ she could resign 
305:365,11@a   | herself to$4$ almost every*thing. 
305:365,12['  ]| In$4$ the evening there was another parting. 
305:365,12@a   | $MP#D$Henry*Crawford 
305:365,13@a   | came and sat some time with them; and her 
305:365,14@a   | spirits not being$1$ previously in$4$ the strongest state$0$, her 
305:365,15@a   | heart was softened for$4$ a while$0$ towards him ~~ because he 
305:365,16@a   | really seemed to$9$ feel. ~~ Quite unlike his usual self, he 
305:365,17@a   | scarcely said any*thing. He was evidently oppressed, 
305:365,17['  ]| and 
305:365,18['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny must grieve for$4$ him, though hoping she might 
305:365,19['  ]| never see him again till he were the husband of some 
305:365,20['  ]| other woman. 
305:365,21['  ]| When it came to$4$ the moment of parting, he would take 
305:365,22['  ]| her hand$0$, he would not be denied it; he said nothing, 
305:365,23['  ]| however, or nothing that$6#1$ she heard, and when he had left 
305:365,24['  ]| the room, she was better pleased that$3$ such a token of 
305:365,25['  ]| friendship had passed. 
305:365,26['  ]| On$4$ the morrow the $MP#D1$Crawfords were gone. 
306:366,01['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford gone, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's next object$0$ was, 
306:366,02@e   | that$3$ he should be missed, and he entertained great hope$0$ 
306:366,03@e   | that$3$ his niece would find a blank$0$ in$4$ the loss of those attentions 
306:366,04@e   | which$6#1$ at the time she had felt, or fancied an evil. 
306:366,05@e   | She had tasted of consequence in$4$ its most flattering form$0$; 
306:366,06@e   | and he did hope$1$ that$3$ the loss of it, the sinking again 
306:366,07@e   | into nothing, would awaken very wholesome regrets in$4$ 
306:366,08@e   | her mind$0$. ~~ He watched her with this idea ~~ but he could 
306:366,09@e   | hardly tell with what success. He hardly knew whether 
306:366,10@e   | there were any difference in$4$ her spirits or not. She was 
306:366,11@e   | always so$5#1$ gentle and retiring, that$3$ her emotions were 
306:366,12@e   | beyond$4$ his discrimination. He did not understand her; 
306:366,13@e   | he felt that$3$ he did not; and therefore applied to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund 
306:366,14@e   | to$9$ tell him how she stood affected on$4$ the present$2$ occasion$0$, 
306:366,15@e   | and whether she were more or less happy than she had 
306:366,16@e   | been. 
306:366,17['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund did not discern any symptoms of regret$0$, 
306:366,17@b   | and 
306:366,18@b   | thought$1$ his father a little unreasonable in$4$ supposing the 
306:366,19@b   | first three or four days could produce any. 
306:366,20@b   | What chiefly surprised $MP#B$Edmund was, that$3$ $MP#D$Crawford's 
306:366,21@b   | sister, the friend and companion, who$6#1$ had been so$5#1$ much 
306:366,22@b   | to$4$ her, should not be more visibly regretted. He wondered 
306:366,23@b   | that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny spoke so$5#1$ seldom of \her\, and had so$5#1$ little 
306:366,24@b   | voluntarily to$9$ say of her concern$0$ at this separation. 
306:366,25['  ]| Alas! it was this sister, this friend and companion, who$6#1$ 
306:366,26['  ]| was now the chief bane of $MP#A$Fanny's comfort$0$. ~~ 
306:366,26@a   | If she could 
306:366,27@a   | have believed $MP#C$Mary's future fate as unconnected with 
306:366,28@a   | Mansfield, as she was determined the brother's should be, 
306:366,29@a   | if she could have hoped her return$0$ thither, to$9$ be as distant 
306:366,30@a   | as she was much inclined to$9$ think his, she would have 
306:366,31@a   | been light$2$ of heart indeed; but the more she recollected 
306:366,32@a   | and observed, the more deeply was she convinced that$3$ 
306:366,33@a   | every*thing was now in$4$ a fairer train for$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
306:367,01@a   | marrying $MP#B$Edmund than it had ever been before$5$. ~~ On$4$ his 
306:367,02@a   | side$0$, the inclination was stronger, on$4$ hers less equivocal. 
306:367,03@a   | His objections, the scruples of his integrity, seemed all 
306:367,04@a   | done away ~~ nobody could tell how; and the doubts$0$ 
306:367,05@a   | and hesitations of her ambition were equally got over ~~ 
306:367,06@a   | and equally without apparent reason$0$. It could only be 
306:367,07@a   | imputed to$4$ increasing attachment. His good and her 
306:367,08@a   | bad feelings yielded to$4$ love$0$, and such love$0$ must unite 
306:367,09@a   | them. He was to$9$ go to$4$ town, as soon as some business 
306:367,10@a   | relative to$4$ Thornton*Lacey were completed ~~ perhaps, 
306:367,11@a   | within a fortnight, he talked of going, he loved to$9$ talk$1$ 
306:367,12@a   | of it; and when once with her again, $MP#A$Fanny could not 
306:367,13@a   | doubt$1$ the rest$0#1$. ~~ Her acceptance must be as certain as 
306:367,14@a   | his offer$0$; and yet, there were bad feelings still$5$ remaining 
306:367,15@a   | which$6#1$ made the prospect of it most sorrowful to$4$ her, 
306:367,16@a   | independently ~~ she believed independently of self. 
306:367,17@a   | In$4$ their very last$2$ conversation, $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, in$4$ spite$8$ 
306:367,18@a   | of some amiable sensations, and much personal kindness, 
306:367,19@a   | had still$5$ been $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, still$5$ shewn a mind$0$ led astray 
306:367,20@a   | and bewildered, and without any suspicion of being$1$ so$5#2$; 
306:367,21@a   | darkened, yet fancying itself light$2$. She might love$1$, but 
306:367,22@a   | she did not deserve $MP#B$Edmund by$4$ any other sentiment. 
306:367,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny believed there was scarcely a second$2$ feeling in$4$ 
306:367,24['  ]| common$0$ between them; and she may$1$ be forgiven by$4$ 
306:367,25['  ]| older sages, for$4$ looking on$4$ the chance$0$ of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
306:367,26['  ]| future improvement as nearly desperate, for$4$ thinking that$3$ 
306:367,27@a   | if $MP#B$Edmund's influence$0$ in$4$ this season of love$0$, had already 
306:367,28@a   | done so$5#1$ little in$4$ clearing her judgment, and regulating her 
306:367,29@a   | notions, his worth would be finally wasted on$4$ her even$5$ in$4$ 
306:367,30@a   | years of matrimony. 
306:367,31['  ]| Experience$0$ might have hoped more for$4$ any young 
306:367,32['  ]| people, so$5#1$ circumstanced, and impartiality would not have 
306:367,33['  ]| denied to$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's nature, that$6#2$ participation of 
306:367,34['  ]| the general$2$ nature of women, which$6#1$ would lead$1$ her to$9$ 
306:367,35['  ]| adopt the opinions of the man she loved and respected, 
306:367,36['  ]| as her own$2$. ~~ But as such were $MP#A$Fanny's persuasions, she 
306:367,37['  ]| suffered very much from them, and could never speak 
306:367,38['  ]| of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford without pain$0$. 
306:368,01['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, meanwhile, went on$5$ with his own$2$ hopes$0$, 
306:368,02['  ]| and his own$2$ observations, still$5$ feeling a right$0$, by$4$ all his 
306:368,03['  ]| knowledge of human nature, to$9$ expect to$9$ see the effect$0$ 
306:368,04['  ]| of the loss of power and consequence, on$4$ his niece's spirits, 
306:368,05['  ]| and the past$2$ attentions of the lover producing a craving 
306:368,06['  ]| for$4$ their return$0$; and he was soon afterwards able to$9$ 
306:368,07['  ]| account$1$ for$4$ his not yet completely and indubitably seeing 
306:368,08['  ]| all this, by$4$ the prospect of another visitor, whose$6#1$ approach$0$ 
306:368,09['  ]| he could allow to$9$ be quite enough to$9$ support$1$ the spirits 
306:368,10['  ]| he was watching. ~~ $MP#Q$William had obtained a ten days' 
306:368,11['  ]| leave$0$ of absence to$9$ be given to$4$ Northamptonshire, and 
306:368,12['  ]| was coming, the happiest of lieutenants, because the latest 
306:368,13['  ]| made, to$9$ shew$1$ his happiness and describe his uniform. 
306:368,14['  ]| He came; and he would have been delighted to$9$ shew$1$ 
306:368,15['  ]| his uniform there too$5#2$, had not cruel custom prohibited its 
306:368,16['  ]| appearance except on$4$ duty. So$3$ the uniform remained 
306:368,17['  ]| at Portsmouth, and $MP#B$Edmund conjectured that$3$ 
306:368,17@b   | before$3$ 
306:368,18@b   | $MP#A$Fanny had any chance$0$ of seeing it, all its own$2$ freshness, 
306:368,19@b   | and all the freshness of its wearer's feelings, must be worn 
306:368,20@b   | away. It would be sunk into a badge of disgrace$0$; for$3$ 
306:368,21@b   | what can be more unbecoming, or more worthless, than 
306:368,22@b   | the uniform of a lieutenant, who$6#1$ has been a lieutenant 
306:368,23@b   | a year or two, and sees others made commanders before$4$ 
306:368,24@b   | him? 
306:368,24['  ]| So$5#2$ reasoned $MP#B$Edmund, till his father made him 
306:368,25['  ]| the confident of a scheme$0$ which$6#1$ placed $MP#A$Fanny's chance$0$ 
306:368,26['  ]| of seeing the 2d lieutenant of H%*M%*S%*Thrush, in$4$ all his 
306:368,27['  ]| glory$0$, in$4$ another light$0$. 
306:368,28['  ]| This scheme$0$ was that$3$ she should accompany her brother 
306:368,29['  ]| back$5$ to$4$ Portsmouth, and spend a little time with her own$2$ 
306:368,30['  ]| family. It had occurred to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, in$4$ one of his 
306:368,31['  ]| dignified musings, as a right$2#1$ and desirable measure$0$; but 
306:368,32['  ]| before$3$ he absolutely made up$5$ his mind$0$, he consulted his 
306:368,33['  ]| son. $MP#B$Edmund considered it every way, and saw nothing 
306:368,34['  ]| but what was right$2#1$. 
306:368,34@b   | The thing was good in$4$ itself, and 
306:368,35@b   | could not be done at a better time; and he had no$2$ doubt$0$ 
306:368,36@b   | of it being$1$ highly agreeable to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny. 
306:368,36['  ]| This was enough 
306:368,37['  ]| to$9$ determine $MP#E$Sir*Thomas; and a decisive 
306:368,37[E  ]| "then so$5#2$ it shall 
306:368,38[E  ]| be," 
306:368,38['  ]| closed that$6#2$ stage$0#1$ of the business; $MP#E$Sir*Thomas retiring 
306:369,01['  ]| from it with some feelings of satisfaction, and views of 
306:369,02['  ]| good over and above$4$ what he had communicated to$4$ his 
306:369,03['  ]| son, for$3$ his prime motive in$4$ sending her away, had very 
306:369,04['  ]| little to$9$ do with the propriety of her seeing her parents 
306:369,05['  ]| again, and nothing at all with any idea of making her 
306:369,06['  ]| happy. 
306:369,06@e   | He certainly wished her to$9$ go willingly, but he 
306:369,07@e   | as certainly wished her to$9$ be heartily sick of home before$3$ 
306:369,08@e   | her visit$0$ ended; and that$3$ a little abstinence from the elegancies 
306:369,09@e   | and luxuries of Mansfield*Park, would bring her 
306:369,10@e   | mind$0$ into a sober state$0$, and incline her to$4$ a juster estimate$0$ 
306:369,11@e   | of the value$0$ of that$6#2$ home of greater permanence, and equal$2$ 
306:369,12@e   | comfort$0$, of which$6#1$ she had the offer$0$. 
306:369,13@e   | It was a medicinal project upon$4$ his niece's understanding, 
306:369,14@e   | which$6#1$ he must consider as at present$0#1$ diseased. A 
306:369,15@e   | residence of eight or nine years in$4$ the abode of wealth and 
306:369,16@e   | plenty had a little disordered her powers of comparing 
306:369,17@e   | and judging. Her Father's house would, in$4$ all probability, 
306:369,18@e   | teach her the value$0$ of a good income; and he 
306:369,19@e   | trusted that$3$ she would be the wiser and happier woman 
306:369,20@e   | all her life, for$4$ the experiment he had devised. 
306:369,21['  ]| Had $MP#A$Fanny been at all addicted to$4$ raptures, she must 
306:369,22['  ]| have had a strong attack$0$ of them, when she first understood 
306:369,23['  ]| what was intended, when her uncle first made her 
306:369,24['  ]| the offer$0$ of visiting the parents and brothers, and sisters, 
306:369,25['  ]| from whom$6#1$ she had been divided, almost half her life, of 
306:369,26['  ]| returning for$4$ a couple of months to$4$ the scenes of her 
306:369,27['  ]| infancy, with $MP#Q$William for$4$ the protector and companion 
306:369,28['  ]| of her journey; and the certainty of continuing to$9$ see 
306:369,29['  ]| $MP#Q$William to$4$ the last$2$ hour of his remaining on$4$ land. Had 
306:369,30['  ]| she ever given way to$4$ bursts of delight$0$, it must have been 
306:369,31['  ]| then, for$3$ she was delighted, but her happiness was of a 
306:369,32['  ]| quiet$2$, deep, heart-swelling sort; and though never a great 
306:369,33['  ]| talker, she was always more inclined to$4$ silence$0$ when feeling 
306:369,34['  ]| most strongly. At the moment she could only thank and 
306:369,35['  ]| accept. Afterwards, when familiarized with the visions 
306:369,36['  ]| of enjoyment so$5#1$ suddenly opened, she could speak more 
306:369,37['  ]| largely to$4$ $MP#Q$William and $MP#B$Edmund of what she felt; but 
306:369,38['  ]| still$5$ there were emotions of tenderness that$6#1$ could not be 
306:370,01['  ]| clothed in$4$ words ~~ 
306:370,01@a   | The remembrance of all her earliest 
306:370,02@a   | pleasures, and of what she had suffered in$4$ being$1$ torn from 
306:370,03@a   | them, came over her with renewed strength, and it seemed 
306:370,04@a   | as if to$9$ be at home again, would heal every pain$0$ that$6#1$ had 
306:370,05@a   | since grown out$5$ of the separation. To$9$ be in$4$ the centre$0$ 
306:370,06@a   | of such a circle, loved by$4$ so$5#1$ many, and more loved by$4$ all 
306:370,07@a   | than she had ever been before$5$, to$9$ feel affection without 
306:370,08@a   | fear$0$ or restraint, to$9$ feel herself the equal$0$ of those who$6#1$ 
306:370,09@a   | surrounded her, to$9$ be at peace from all mention$0$ of the 
306:370,10@a   | $MP#D1$Crawfords, safe from every look$0$ which$6#1$ could be fancied 
306:370,11@a   | a reproach$0$ on$4$ their account$0$! ~~ This was a prospect to$9$ be 
306:370,12@a   | dwelt on$5$ with a fondness that$6#1$ could be but half acknowledged. 
306:370,13@a   | $MP#B$Edmund too$5#2$ ~~ to$9$ be two months from \him\, (and perhaps, 
306:370,14@a   | she might be allowed to$9$ make$1$ her absence three) must do 
306:370,15@a   | her good. At a distance$0$ unassailed by$4$ his looks$0$ or his 
306:370,16@a   | kindness, and safe from the perpetual irritation of knowing 
306:370,17@a   | his heart, and striving to$9$ avoid his confidence, she should 
306:370,18@a   | be able to$9$ reason$1$ herself into a properer state$0$; she should 
306:370,19@a   | be able to$9$ think of him as in$4$ London, and arranging every*thing 
306:370,20@a   | there, without wretchedness. ~~ What might have 
306:370,21@a   | been hard to$9$ bear$1$ at Mansfield, was to$9$ become a slight$2$ evil 
306:370,22@a   | at Portsmouth. 
306:370,23@a   | The only drawback was the doubt$0$ of her Aunt $MP#F$Bertram's 
306:370,24@a   | being$1$ comfortable without her. She was of use$0$ to$4$ no*one 
306:370,25@a   | else; but \there\ she might be missed to$4$ a degree that$6#1$ she 
306:370,26@a   | did not like$1$ to$9$ think of; 
306:370,27['  ]| and that$6#2$ part$0$ of the arrangement 
306:370,28['  ]| was, indeed, the hardest for$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas to$9$ accomplish, 
306:370,29['  ]| and what only \he\ could have accomplished at all. 
306:370,30['  ]| But he was master at Mansfield*Park. When he had 
306:370,31['  ]| really resolved on$4$ any measure$0$, he could always carry it 
306:370,32['  ]| through$5$; and now by$4$ dint of long talking on$4$ the subject$0$, 
306:370,33['  ]| explaining and dwelling on$4$ the duty of $MP#A$Fanny's sometimes 
306:370,34['  ]| seeing her family, he did induce his wife to$9$ let her go; 
306:370,35['  ]| obtaining it rather from submission, however, than conviction, 
306:370,36['  ]| for$3$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was convinced of very little 
306:370,37['  ]| more than that$3$ 
306:370,37@f   | $MP#E$Sir*Thomas thought$1$ $MP#A$Fanny ought to$9$ go, 
306:370,38@f   | and therefore that$3$ she must. 
306:370,38['  ]| In$4$ the calmness of her own$2$ 
306:371,01['  ]| dressing*room, in$4$ the impartial flow$0$ of her own$2$ meditations, 
306:371,02['  ]| unbiassed by$4$ his bewildering statements, she could 
306:371,03['  ]| not acknowledge any necessity for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's ever going 
306:371,04['  ]| near$4$ a Father and Mother who$6#1$ had done without her so$5#1$ 
306:371,05['  ]| long, while$3$ she was so$5#1$ useful to$4$ herself. ~~ And as to$4$ the 
306:371,06['  ]| not missing her, which$6#1$ under $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's discussion was 
306:371,07['  ]| the point$0$ attempted to$9$ be proved, she set$1$ herself very 
306:371,08['  ]| steadily against admitting any such thing. 
306:371,09['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had appealed to$4$ her reason$0$, conscience, and 
306:371,10['  ]| dignity. He called it a sacrifice$0$, and demanded it of her 
306:371,11['  ]| goodness and self-command as such. But $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
306:371,12['  ]| wanted to$9$ persuade her that$3$ 
306:371,12@j   | $MP#A$Fanny could be very well$5$ 
306:371,13@j   | spared ~~ \She\ being$1$ ready to$9$ give up$5$ all her own$2$ time to$4$ 
306:371,14@j   | her as requested) and in$4$ short could not really be wanted 
306:371,15@j   | or missed. 
306:371,16[F  ]| "That$6#2$ may$1$ be, sister," ~~ 
306:371,16['  ]| was all $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's reply$0$ ~~ 
306:371,17[F  ]| "I dare$1#2$ say you are very right$2#1$, but I am sure I shall miss 
306:371,18[F  ]| her very much." 
306:371,19['  ]| The next step$0$ was to$9$ communicate with Portsmouth. 
306:371,20['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny wrote to$9$ offer$1$ herself; and her mother's answer$0$, 
306:371,21['  ]| though short, was so$5#1$ kind$2$, a few simple$2$ lines expressed 
306:371,22['  ]| so$5#1$ natural$2$ and motherly a joy in$4$ the prospect of seeing 
306:371,23['  ]| her child again, as to$9$ confirm all the daughter's views of 
306:371,24['  ]| happiness in$4$ being$1$ with her ~~ convincing her that$3$ she 
306:371,25['  ]| should now find a warm$2$ and affectionate friend in$4$ the 
306:371,26['  ]| "Mamma" who$6#1$ had certainly shewn no$2$ remarkable fondness 
306:371,27['  ]| for$4$ her formerly; but this she could easily suppose 
306:371,28['  ]| to$9$ have been her own$2$ fault, or her own$2$ fancy$0$. 
306:371,28@a   | She had 
306:371,29@a   | probably alienated Love$0$ by$4$ the helplessness and fretfulness 
306:371,30@a   | of a fearful temper, or been unreasonable in$4$ wanting 
306:371,31@a   | a larger share$0$ than any one among so$5#1$ many could deserve. 
306:371,32@a   | Now, when she knew better how to$9$ be useful and how to$9$ 
306:371,33@a   | forbear, and when her mother could be no$2$ longer occupied 
306:371,34@a   | by$4$ the incessant demands$0$ of a house full of little children, 
306:371,35@a   | there would be leisure and inclination for$4$ every comfort$0$, 
306:371,36@a   | and they should soon be what mother and daughter ought 
306:371,37@a   | to$9$ be to$4$ each other. 
306:371,38['  ]| $MP#Q$William was almost as happy in$4$ the plan as his sister. 
306:372,01@q   | It would be the greatest pleasure to$4$ him to$9$ have her there 
306:372,02@q   | to$4$ the last$2$ moment before$3$ he sailed, and perhaps find her 
306:372,03@q   | there still$5$ when he came in$5$, from his first cruise! And 
306:372,04@q   | besides, he wanted her so$5#1$ very much to$9$ see the Thrush 
306:372,05@q   | before$3$ she went out$5$ of harbour$0$ (the Thrush was certainly 
306:372,06@q   | the finest sloop in$4$ the service). And there were several 
306:372,07@q   | improvements in$4$ the dock-yard, too$5#2$, which$6#1$ he quite longed 
306:372,08@q   | to$9$ shew$1$ her. 
306:372,09['  ]| He did not scruple$1$ to$9$ add, that$3$ 
306:372,09@q   | her being$1$ at home for$4$ 
306:372,10@q   | a while$0$ would be a great advantage to$4$ every*body. 
306:372,11[Q  ]| "I do not know how it is," 
306:372,11['  ]| said he, 
306:372,11[Q  ]| "but we seem 
306:372,12[Q  ]| to$9$ want$1$ some of your nice ways and orderliness at my 
306:372,13[Q  ]| father's. The house is always in$4$ confusion. You will$1$ set$1$ 
306:372,14[Q  ]| things going in$4$ a better way, I am sure. You will$1$ tell my 
306:372,15[Q  ]| mother how it all ought to$9$ be, and you will$1$ be so$5#1$ useful to$4$ 
306:372,16[Q  ]| $MP#V$Susan, and you will$1$ teach $MP#ZZC$Betsey, and make$1$ the boys love$1$ 
306:372,17[Q  ]| and mind$1$ you. How right$2#1$ and comfortable it will$1$ all be!" 
306:372,18['  ]| By$4$ the time $MP#P$Mrs%*Price's answer$0$ arrived, there remained 
306:372,19['  ]| but a very few days more to$9$ be spent at Mansfield; and 
306:372,20['  ]| for$4$ part$0$ of one of those days the young travellers were in$4$ 
306:372,21['  ]| a good deal$0$ of alarm$0$ on$4$ the subject$0$ of their journey, for$3$ 
306:372,22['  ]| when the mode of it came to$9$ be talked of, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris 
306:372,23['  ]| found that$3$ 
306:372,23@j   | all her anxiety to$9$ save$1$ her Brother-in-law's 
306:372,24@j   | money was vain, and that$3$ in$4$ spite$8$ of her wishes$0$ and hints 
306:372,25@j   | for$4$ a less expensive conveyance of $MP#A$Fanny, they were to$9$ 
306:372,26@j   | travel post, when she saw $MP#E$Sir*Thomas actually give $MP#Q$William 
306:372,27@j   | notes for$4$ the purpose, she was struck with the idea of there 
306:372,28@j   | being$1$ room for$4$ a third in$4$ the carriage, and suddenly seized 
306:372,29@j   | with a strong inclination to$9$ go with them ~~ to$9$ go and see 
306:372,30@j   | her poor dear$2#1$ sister $MP#P$Price. 
306:372,30['  ]| She proclaimed her thoughts. 
306:372,31@j   | She must say that$3$ she had more than half a mind$0$ to$9$ go 
306:372,32@j   | with the young people; it would be such an indulgence 
306:372,33@j   | to$4$ her; she had not seen her poor dear$2#1$ sister $MP#P$Price for$4$ 
306:372,34@j   | more than twenty years; and it would be a help$0$ to$4$ the 
306:372,35@j   | young people in$4$ their journey to$9$ have her older head$0$ to$9$ 
306:372,36@j   | manage for$4$ them; and she could not help$1$ thinking her 
306:372,37@j   | poor dear$2#1$ sister $MP#P$Price would feel it very unkind of her not 
306:372,38@j   | to$9$ come by$4$ such an opportunity. 
306:373,01['  ]| $MP#Q$William and $MP#A$Fanny were horror-struck at the idea. 
306:373,02['  ]| All the comfort$0$ of their comfortable journey would be 
306:373,03['  ]| destroyed at once. With woeful countenances they looked 
306:373,04['  ]| at each other. Their suspense lasted an hour or two. No*one 
306:373,05['  ]| interfered to$9$ encourage or dissuade. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris was 
306:373,06['  ]| left to$9$ settle the matter by$4$ herself; and it ended to$4$ the 
306:373,07['  ]| infinite joy of her nephew and niece, in$4$ the recollection 
306:373,08@j   | that$3$ she could not possibly be spared from Mansfield*Park 
306:373,09@j   | at present$0#1$; that$3$ she was a great deal$0$ too$5#1$ necessary 
306:373,09@j   | to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
306:373,10@j   | and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram for$4$ her to$9$ be able to$9$ answer$1$ 
306:373,11@j   | it to$4$ herself to$9$ leave$1$ them even$5$ for$4$ a week, and therefore 
306:373,12@j   | must certainly sacrifice$1$ every other pleasure to$4$ that$6#2$ of 
306:373,13@j   | being$1$ useful to$4$ them. 
306:373,14['  ]| It had, in$4$ fact, occurred to$4$ her, that$3$, though taken to$4$ 
306:373,15['  ]| Portsmouth for$4$ nothing, it would be hardly possible for$4$ her 
306:373,16['  ]| to$9$ avoid paying her own$2$ expenses back$5$ again. So$3$, her 
306:373,17['  ]| poor dear$2#1$ sister $MP#P$Price was left to$4$ all the disappointment 
306:373,18['  ]| of her missing such an opportunity; and another twenty 
306:373,19['  ]| years' absence, perhaps, begun. 
306:373,20['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's plans were affected by$4$ this Portsmouth 
306:373,21['  ]| journey, this absence of $MP#A$Fanny's. He too$5#2$ had a sacrifice$0$ 
306:373,22['  ]| to$9$ make$1$ to$4$ Mansfield*Park, as well$5$ as his aunt. He had 
306:373,23['  ]| intended, about$4$ this time, to$9$ be going to$4$ London, but he 
306:373,24['  ]| could not leave$1$ his father and mother just$5$ when every*body 
306:373,25['  ]| else of most importance to$4$ their comfort$0$, was leaving 
306:373,26['  ]| them; and with an effort, felt but not boasted$1$ of, he 
306:373,27['  ]| delayed for$4$ a week or two longer a journey which$6#1$ he was 
306:373,28['  ]| looking forward$5$ to$4$, with the hope$0$ of its fixing his happiness 
306:373,29['  ]| for*ever. 
306:373,30['  ]| He told $MP#A$Fanny of it. She knew so$5#1$ much already, that$3$ 
306:373,31['  ]| she must know every*thing. It made the substance of 
306:373,32['  ]| one other confidential discourse about$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; 
306:373,33['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny was the more affected from feeling it to$9$ be the 
306:373,34['  ]| last$2$ time in$4$ which$6#1$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's name$0$ would ever be 
306:373,35['  ]| mentioned between them with any remains$0$ of liberty. 
306:373,36['  ]| Once afterwards, she was alluded to$5$ by$4$ him. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
306:373,37['  ]| had been telling her niece in$4$ the evening to$9$ write to$4$ 
306:373,38['  ]| her soon and often, and promising to$9$ be a good correspondent 
306:374,01['  ]| herself; and $MP#B$Edmund, at a convenient moment, 
306:374,02['  ]| then added, in$4$ a whisper$0$, 
306:374,02[B  ]| "And \I\ shall write to$4$ you, 
306:374,03[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, when I have any*thing worth writing about$4$; any*thing 
306:374,04[B  ]| to$9$ say, that$6#1$ I think you will$1$ like$1$ to$9$ hear, and that$6#1$ 
306:374,05[B  ]| you will$1$ not hear so$5#1$ soon from any other quarter$0#2$." 
306:374,05['  ]| Had 
306:374,06['  ]| she doubted his meaning while$3$ she listened, the glow in$4$ 
306:374,07['  ]| his face$0$, when she looked up$5$ at him, would have been 
306:374,08['  ]| decisive. 
306:374,09@a   | For$4$ this letter she must try to$9$ arm$1$ herself. That$3$ a 
306:374,10@a   | letter from $MP#B$Edmund should be a subject$0$ of terror! She 
306:374,11@a   | began to$9$ feel that$3$ she had not yet gone through$4$ all the 
306:374,12@a   | changes$0$ of opinion and sentiment, which$6#1$ the progress of 
306:374,13@a   | time and variation of circumstances occasion$0$ in$4$ this world 
306:374,14@a   | of changes$0$. 
306:374,14['  ]| The vicissitudes of the human mind$0$ had not 
306:374,15['  ]| yet been exhausted by$4$ her. 
306:374,16['  ]| Poor $MP#A$Fanny! though going, as she did, willingly and 
306:374,17['  ]| eagerly, the last$2$ evening at Mansfield*Park must still$5$ be 
306:374,18['  ]| wretchedness. Her heart was completely sad at parting. 
306:374,19['  ]| She had tears for$4$ every room in$4$ the house, much more for$4$ 
306:374,20['  ]| every beloved inhabitant. She clung to$4$ her aunt, because 
306:374,21['  ]| she would miss her; she kissed the hand$0$ of her uncle with 
306:374,22['  ]| struggling sobs, because she had displeased him; and as 
306:374,23['  ]| for$4$ $MP#B$Edmund, she could neither speak, nor look$1$, nor think, 
306:374,24['  ]| when the last$2$ moment came with \him\, and it was not till 
306:374,25['  ]| it was over that$3$ she knew he was giving her the affectionate 
306:374,26['  ]| farewell of a brother. 
306:374,27['  ]| All this passed over night, for$3$ the journey was to$9$ begin 
306:374,28['  ]| very early in$4$ the morning; and when the small, diminished 
306:374,29['  ]| party met at breakfast$0$, $MP#Q$William and $MP#A$Fanny were talked 
306:374,30['  ]| of as already advanced one stage$0#1$. 
307:375,01['  ]| The novelty of travelling, and the happiness of being$1$ 
307:375,02['  ]| with $MP#Q$William, soon produced their natural$2$ effect$0$ on$4$ 
307:375,03['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's spirits, when Mansfield*Park was fairly left 
307:375,04['  ]| behind, and by$4$ the time their first stage$0#1$ was ended, and 
307:375,05['  ]| they were to$9$ quit $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's carriage, she was able to$9$ 
307:375,06['  ]| take leave$0$ of the old coachman, and send back$5$ proper 
307:375,07['  ]| messages, with cheerful looks$0$. 
307:375,08['  ]| Of pleasant talk$0$ between the brother and sister, there was 
307:375,09['  ]| no$2$ end$0$. Every*thing supplied an amusement to$4$ the high 
307:375,10['  ]| glee of $MP#Q$William's mind$0$, and he was full of frolic and joke, 
307:375,11['  ]| in$4$ the intervals of their higher-toned subjects, all of which$6#1$ 
307:375,12['  ]| ended, if they did not begin, in$4$ praise$0$ of the Thrush, conjectures$1$ 
307:375,13['  ]| how she would be employed, schemes for$4$ an 
307:375,14['  ]| action with some superior force$0$, which$6#1$ (supposing the 
307:375,15['  ]| first lieutenant out$5$ of the way ~~ and $MP#Q$William was not very 
307:375,16['  ]| merciful to$4$ the first lieutenant) was to$9$ give himself the 
307:375,17['  ]| next step$0$ as soon as possible, or speculations upon$4$ prize$0$ 
307:375,18['  ]| money, which$6#1$ was to$9$ be generously distributed at home, 
307:375,19['  ]| with only the reservation of enough to$9$ make$1$ the little 
307:375,20['  ]| cottage comfortable, in$4$ which$6#1$ he and $MP#A$Fanny were to$9$ pass$1$ 
307:375,21['  ]| all their middle and latter life together. 
307:375,22['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's immediate concerns$0$, as far as they involved 
307:375,23['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, made no$2$ part$0$ of their conversation. $MP#Q$William 
307:375,24['  ]| knew what had passed, 
307:375,24@q   | and from his heart lamented 
307:375,25@q   | that$3$ his sister's feelings should be so$5#1$ cold$2$ towards a man 
307:375,26@q   | whom$6#1$ he must consider as the first of human characters; 
307:375,27['  ]| but he was of an age to$9$ be all for$4$ love$0$, and therefore 
307:375,28['  ]| unable to$9$ blame$1$; and knowing her wish$0$ on$4$ the subject$0$, 
307:375,29['  ]| he would not distress$1$ her by$4$ the slightest allusion. 
307:375,30['  ]| She had reason$0$ to$9$ suppose herself not yet forgotten by$4$ 
307:375,31['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. ~~ She had heard repeatedly from his sister 
307:375,32['  ]| within the three weeks which$6#1$ had passed since their leaving 
307:375,33['  ]| Mansfield, and in$4$ each letter there had been a few lines 
307:376,01['  ]| from himself, warm$2$ and determined like$4$ his speeches. It 
307:376,02['  ]| was a correspondence which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny found quite as unpleasant 
307:376,03['  ]| as she had feared. 
307:376,03@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's style of 
307:376,04@a   | writing, lively and affectionate, was itself an evil, independent 
307:376,05@a   | of what she was thus forced into reading from 
307:376,06@a   | the brother's pen, for$3$ $MP#B$Edmund would never rest$1$ till she 
307:376,07@a   | had read the chief of the letter to$4$ him, and then she had 
307:376,08@a   | to$9$ listen to$4$ his admiration of her language, and the warmth 
307:376,09@a   | of her attachments. ~~ There had, in$4$ fact, been so$5#1$ much 
307:376,10@a   | of message, of allusion, of recollection, so$5#1$ much of Mansfield 
307:376,11@a   | in$4$ every letter, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could not but suppose it 
307:376,12@a   | meant for$4$ him to$9$ hear; and to$9$ find herself forced into 
307:376,13@a   | a purpose of that$6#2$ kind$0$, compelled into a correspondence 
307:376,14@a   | which$6#1$ was bringing her the addresses of the man she did 
307:376,15@a   | not love$1$, and obliging her to$9$ administer to$4$ the adverse 
307:376,16@a   | passion of the man she did, was cruelly mortifying. Here, 
307:376,17@a   | too$5#2$, her present$2$ removal promised advantage. When no$2$ 
307:376,18@a   | longer under the same roof with $MP#B$Edmund, she trusted that$3$ 
307:376,19@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford would have no$2$ motive for$4$ writing, strong 
307:376,20@a   | enough to$9$ overcome the trouble$0$, and that$3$ at Portsmouth 
307:376,21@a   | their correspondence would dwindle into nothing. 
307:376,22['  ]| With such thoughts as these among ten hundred others, 
307:376,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny proceeded in$4$ her journey, safely and cheerfully, 
307:376,24['  ]| and as expeditiously as could rationally be hoped in$4$ the 
307:376,25['  ]| dirty month of February. They entered Oxford, but she 
307:376,26['  ]| could take only a hasty glimpse of $MP#B$Edmund's College as 
307:376,27['  ]| they passed along$5$, and made no$2$ stop$0$ any*where, till they 
307:376,28['  ]| reached Newbury, where a comfortable meal, uniting 
307:376,29['  ]| dinner and supper, wound$1#1$ up$5$ the enjoyments and fatigues$0$ 
307:376,30['  ]| of the day. 
307:376,31['  ]| The next morning saw them off again at an early hour; 
307:376,32['  ]| and with no$2$ events and no$2$ delays they regularly advanced, 
307:376,33['  ]| and were in$4$ the environs of Portsmouth while$3$ there was 
307:376,34['  ]| yet daylight for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ look$1$ around$4$ her, and wonder$1$ at 
307:376,35['  ]| the new buildings. ~~ They passed the Drawbridge, and 
307:376,36['  ]| entered the town; and the light$0$ was only beginning to$9$ 
307:376,37['  ]| fail, as, guided by$4$ $MP#Q$William's powerful voice, they were 
307:376,38['  ]| rattled into a narrow street, leading from the high street, 
307:377,01['  ]| and drawn up$5$ before$4$ the door of a small house now 
307:377,02['  ]| inhabited by$4$ $MP#O$Mr%*Price. 
307:377,03['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was all agitation and flutter ~~ all hope$0$ and apprehension. 
307:377,04['  ]| The moment they stopt, a trollopy-looking 
307:377,05['  ]| maid-servant, seemingly in$4$ waiting for$4$ them at the door, 
307:377,06['  ]| stept forward$5$, and more intent on$4$ telling the news, than 
307:377,07['  ]| giving them any help$0$, immediately began with, 
307:377,07[V  ]| "the 
307:377,08[V  ]| Thrush is gone out$5$ of harbour$0$, please Sir, and one of the 
307:377,09[V  ]| officers has been here to$9$" ~~ 
307:377,09['  ]| She was interrupted by$4$ 
307:377,10['  ]| a fine tall boy of eleven years old, who$6#1$ rushing out$5$ of the 
307:377,11['  ]| house, pushed the maid aside, and while$3$ $MP#Q$William was 
307:377,12['  ]| opening the chaise door himself, called out$5$, 
307:377,12[W  ]| "you are just$5$ 
307:377,13[W  ]| in$4$ time. We have been looking for$4$ you this half hour. 
307:377,14[W  ]| The Thrush went out$5$ of harbour$0$ this morning. I saw 
307:377,15[W  ]| her. It was a beautiful sight. And they think she will$1$ 
307:377,16[W  ]| have her orders$0#1$ in$4$ a day or two. And $MP#ZD$Mr%*Campbell was 
307:377,17[W  ]| here at four o'clock, to$9$ ask for$4$ you; he has got one of the 
307:377,18[W  ]| Thrush's boats, and is going off to$4$ her at six, and hoped 
307:377,19[W  ]| you would be here in$4$ time to$9$ go with him." 
307:377,20['  ]| A stare or two at $MP#A$Fanny, as $MP#Q$William helped her out$5$ 
307:377,21['  ]| of the carriage, was all the voluntary notice$0$ which$6#1$ this 
307:377,22['  ]| brother bestowed; ~~ but he made no$2$ objection to$4$ her 
307:377,23['  ]| kissing him, though still$5$ entirely engaged in$4$ detailing 
307:377,24['  ]| farther particulars of the Thrush's going out$5$ of harbour$0$, 
307:377,25['  ]| in$4$ which$6#1$ he had a strong right$0$ of interest$0$, being$1$ to$9$ commence 
307:377,26['  ]| his career of seamanship in$4$ her at this very time. 
307:377,27['  ]| Another moment, and $MP#A$Fanny was in$4$ the narrow entrance-passage 
307:377,28['  ]| of the house, and in$4$ her mother's arms, who$6#1$ met 
307:377,29['  ]| her there with looks$0$ of true kindness, and with features 
307:377,30['  ]| which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny loved the more, because they brought her 
307:377,31['  ]| aunt $MP#F$Bertram's before$4$ her; and there were her two sisters, 
307:377,32['  ]| $MP#V$Susan, a well-grown fine girl of fourteen, and $MP#ZZC$Betsey, the 
307:377,33['  ]| youngest of the family, about$4$ five ~~ both glad to$9$ see her 
307:377,34['  ]| in$4$ their way, though with no$2$ advantage of manner in$4$ 
307:377,35['  ]| receiving her. But manner $MP#A$Fanny did not want$1$. 
307:377,35@a   | Would 
307:377,36@a   | they but love$1$ her, she should be satisfied. 
307:377,37['  ]| She was then taken into a parlour, so$5#1$ small that$3$ 
307:377,38['  ]| her first conviction was of its being$1$ only a passage-room to$4$ 
307:378,01['  ]| something better, and she stood for$4$ a moment expecting 
307:378,02['  ]| to$9$ be invited on$5$; but when she saw there was no$2$ other 
307:378,03['  ]| door, and that$3$ there were signs of habitation before$4$ her, 
307:378,04['  ]| she called back$5$ her thoughts, reproved herself, and grieved 
307:378,05['  ]| lest they should have been suspected. Her mother, 
307:378,06['  ]| however, could not stay$1$ long enough to$9$ suspect any*thing. 
307:378,07['  ]| She was gone again to$4$ the street door, to$9$ welcome$1$ $MP#Q$William. 
307:378,08[P  ]| "Oh! my dear$2#1$ $MP#Q$William, how glad I am to$9$ see you. But 
307:378,09[P  ]| have you heard about$4$ the Thrush? She is gone out$5$ of 
307:378,10[P  ]| harbour$0$ already, three days before$3$ we had any thought$1$ of 
307:378,11[P  ]| it; and I do not know what I am to$9$ do about$4$ $MP#W$Sam's things, 
307:378,12[P  ]| they will$1$ never be ready in$4$ time; for$3$ she may$1$ have her 
307:378,13[P  ]| orders$0#1$ to-morrow, perhaps. It takes me quite unawares. 
307:378,14[P  ]| And now you must be off for$4$ Spithead too$5#2$. $MP#ZD$Campbell has 
307:378,15[P  ]| been here, quite in$4$ a worry about$4$ you; and now, what 
307:378,16[P  ]| shall we do? I thought$1$ to$9$ have had such a comfortable 
307:378,17[P  ]| evening with you, and here every*thing comes upon$4$ me at 
307:378,18[P  ]| once." 
307:378,19['  ]| Her son answered cheerfully, telling her that$3$ every*thing 
307:378,20['  ]| was always for$4$ the best; and making light$2$ of his own$2$ 
307:378,21['  ]| inconvenience, in$4$ being$1$ obliged to$9$ hurry$1$ away so$5#1$ soon. 
307:378,22[Q  ]| "To$9$ be sure, I had much rather she had stayed in$4$ 
307:378,23[Q  ]| harbour$0$, that$3$ I might have sat a few hours with you in$4$ 
307:378,24[Q  ]| comfort$0$; but as there is a boat ashore, I had better go off 
307:378,25[Q  ]| at once, and there is no$2$ help$0$ for$4$ it. Whereabouts does the 
307:378,26[Q  ]| Thrush lay$1#2$ at Spithead! Near$4$ the Canopus? But no$2$ 
307:378,27[Q  ]| matter ~~ here's $MP#A$Fanny in$4$ the parlour, and why should we 
307:378,28[Q  ]| stay$1$ in$4$ the passage? ~~ Come, mother, you have hardly 
307:378,29[Q  ]| looked at your dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny yet." 
307:378,30['  ]| In$5$ they both came, and $MP#P$Mrs%*Price having kindly kissed 
307:378,31['  ]| her daughter again, and commented a little on$4$ her growth, 
307:378,32['  ]| began with very natural$2$ solicitude to$9$ feel for$4$ their fatigues$0$ 
307:378,33['  ]| and wants$0$ as travellers. 
307:378,34[P  ]| "Poor dears! how tired you must both be! ~~ and now 
307:378,35[P  ]| what will$1$ you have? I began to$9$ think you would never 
307:378,36[P  ]| come. $MP#ZZC$Betsey and I have been watching for$4$ you this half 
307:378,37[P  ]| hour. And when did you get anything to$9$ eat? And what 
307:378,38[P  ]| would you like$1$ to$9$ have now? I could not tell whether you 
307:379,01[P  ]| would be for$4$ some meat, or only a dish of tea after$4$ your 
307:379,02[P  ]| journey, or else I would have got something ready. And 
307:379,03[P  ]| now I am afraid $MP#ZD$Campbell will$1$ be here, before$3$ there is time 
307:379,04[P  ]| to$9$ dress$1$ a steak, and we have no$2$ butcher at hand$0$. It is 
307:379,05[P  ]| very inconvenient to$9$ have no$2$ butcher in$4$ the street. We 
307:379,06[P  ]| were better off in$4$ our last$2$ house. Perhaps you would like$1$ 
307:379,07[P  ]| some tea, as soon as it can be got." 
307:379,08['  ]| They both declared they should prefer it to$4$ anything. 
307:379,09[P  ]| "Then, $MP#ZZC$Betsey, my dear$2#1$, run$1$ into the kitchen, and see if 
307:379,10[P  ]| $MP#V$Rebecca has put the water on$5$; and tell her to$9$ bring in$5$ the 
307:379,11[P  ]| tea-things as soon as she can. I wish$1$ we could get the bell 
307:379,12[P  ]| mended ~~ but $MP#ZZC$Betsey is a very handy little messenger." 
307:379,13['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Betsey went with alacrity; proud to$9$ shew$1$ her abilities 
307:379,14['  ]| before$4$ her fine new sister. 
307:379,15[P  ]| "Dear$7$ me!" 
307:379,15['  ]| continued the anxious mother, 
307:379,15[P  ]| "what 
307:379,16[P  ]| a sad fire$0$ we have got, and I dare$1#2$ say you are both starved 
307:379,17[P  ]| with cold$0$. Draw your chair nearer, my dear$2#1$. I cannot 
307:379,18[P  ]| think what $MP#V$Rebecca has been about$4$. I am sure I told her 
307:379,19[P  ]| to$9$ bring some coals half an hour ago. $MP#V$Susan, \you\ should 
307:379,20[P  ]| have taken care$0$ of the fire$0$." 
307:379,21[V  ]| "I was up*stairs, mamma, moving my things;" 
307:379,21['  ]| said 
307:379,22['  ]| $MP#V$Susan, in$4$ a fearless, self-defending tone, which$6#1$ startled 
307:379,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny. 
307:379,23[V  ]| "You know you had but just$5$ settled that$3$ my 
307:379,24[V  ]| sister $MP#A$Fanny and I should have the other room; and 
307:379,25[V  ]| I could not get $MP#V$Rebecca to$9$ give me any help$0$." 
307:379,26['  ]| Farther discussion was prevented by$4$ various bustles; 
307:379,27['  ]| first, the driver came to$9$ be paid ~~ then there was a squabble 
307:379,28['  ]| between $MP#W$Sam and $MP#V$Rebecca, about$4$ the manner of carrying 
307:379,29['  ]| up$5$ his sister's trunk, which$6#1$ he would manage all his own$2$ 
307:379,30['  ]| way; and lastly in$5$ walked $MP#O$Mr%*Price himself, his own$2$ loud 
307:379,31['  ]| voice preceding him, as with something of the oath kind$0$ he 
307:379,32['  ]| kicked away his son's portmanteau, and his daughter's 
307:379,33['  ]| band-box in$4$ the passage, and called out$5$ for$4$ a candle; no$2$ 
307:379,34['  ]| candle was brought, however, and he walked into the 
307:379,35['  ]| room. 
307:379,36['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, with doubting feelings, had risen to$9$ meet$1$ him, 
307:379,37['  ]| but sank down$5$ again on$4$ finding herself undistinguished in$4$ 
307:379,38['  ]| the dusk, and unthought of. With a friendly shake$0$ of his 
307:380,01['  ]| son's hand$0$, and an eager voice, he instantly began ~~ 
307:380,01[O  ]| "Ha! 
307:380,02[O  ]| welcome$1$ back$5$, my boy. Glad to$9$ see you. Have you heard 
307:380,03[O  ]| the news? The Thrush went out$5$ of harbour$0$ this morning. 
307:380,04[O  ]| Sharp is the word, you see. By$4$ G***, you are just$5$ in$4$ time. 
307:380,05[O  ]| The doctor has been here enquiring for$4$ you; he has got 
307:380,06[O  ]| one of the boats, and is to$9$ be off for$4$ Spithead by$4$ six, so$3$ you 
307:380,07[O  ]| had better go with him. I have been to$4$ $MP#Z1$Turner's about$4$ 
307:380,08[O  ]| your mess; it is all in$4$ a way to$9$ be done. I should not 
307:380,09[O  ]| wonder$1$ if you had your orders$0#1$ to-morrow; but you cannot 
307:380,10[O  ]| sail with this wind, if you are to$9$ cruize to$4$ the westward; 
307:380,11[O  ]| and $MP#ZZK$Captain*Walsh thinks you will$1$ certainly have a cruize 
307:380,12[O  ]| to$4$ the westward, with the Elephant. By$4$ G***, I wish$1$ you 
307:380,13[O  ]| may$1$. But old $MP#ZZG$Scholey was saying just$5$ now, that$3$ he 
307:380,14[O  ]| thought$1$ you would be sent first to$4$ the Texel. Well$7$, well$7$, 
307:380,15[O  ]| we are ready, whatever happens. But by$4$ G***, you lost 
307:380,16[O  ]| a fine sight by$4$ not being$1$ here in$4$ the morning to$9$ see the 
307:380,17[O  ]| Thrush go out$5$ of harbour$0$. I would not have been out$5$ of 
307:380,18[O  ]| the way for$4$ a thousand pounds. Old $MP#ZZG$Scholey ran in$5$ at 
307:380,19[O  ]| breakfast*time, to$9$ say she had slipped her moorings and 
307:380,20[O  ]| was coming out$5$. I jumped up$5$, and made but two steps to$4$ 
307:380,21[O  ]| the platform. If ever there was a perfect$2$ beauty afloat, she 
307:380,22[O  ]| is one; and there she lays at Spithead, and anybody in$4$ 
307:380,23[O  ]| England would take her for$4$ an eight-and-twenty. I was 
307:380,24[O  ]| upon$4$ the platform two hours this afternoon, looking at her. 
307:380,25[O  ]| She lays close$5$ to$4$ the Endymion, between her and the 
307:380,26[O  ]| Cleopatra, just$5$ to$4$ the eastward of the sheer hulk." 
307:380,27[Q  ]| "Ha!" 
307:380,27['  ]| cried $MP#Q$William, 
307:380,27[Q  ]| "\that's\ just$5$ where I should have 
307:380,28[Q  ]| put her myself. It's the best birth$0#2$ at Spithead. But here 
307:380,29[Q  ]| is my sister, Sir, here is $MP#A$Fanny;" 
307:380,29['  ]| turning and leading her 
307:380,30['  ]| forward$5$; ~~ 
307:380,30[Q  ]| "it is so$5#1$ dark$2$ you do not see her." 
307:380,31['  ]| With an acknowledgement that$3$ he had quite forgot her, 
307:380,32['  ]| $MP#O$Mr%*Price now received his daughter; and, having given 
307:380,33['  ]| her a cordial$2$ hug, and observed that$3$ 
307:380,33@o   | she was grown into 
307:380,34@o   | a woman, and he supposed would be wanting a husband 
307:380,35@o   | soon, 
307:380,35['  ]| seemed very much inclined to$9$ forget her again. 
307:380,36['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny shrunk back$5$ to$4$ her seat, with feelings sadly 
307:380,37['  ]| pained by$4$ his language and his smell of spirits; and he 
307:380,38['  ]| talked on$5$ only to$4$ his son, and only of the Thrush, though 
307:381,01['  ]| $MP#Q$William, warmly interested, as he was, in$4$ that$6#2$ subject$0$, 
307:381,02['  ]| more than once tried to$9$ make$1$ his father think of $MP#A$Fanny, 
307:381,03['  ]| and her long absence and long journey. 
307:381,04['  ]| After$4$ sitting some time longer, a candle was obtained; 
307:381,05['  ]| but, as there was still$5$ no$2$ appearance of tea, nor, from 
307:381,06['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Betsey's reports from the kitchen, much hope$0$ of any under 
307:381,07['  ]| a considerable period, $MP#Q$William determined to$9$ go and 
307:381,08['  ]| change$1$ his dress$0$, and make$1$ the necessary preparations for$4$ 
307:381,09['  ]| his removal on$4$ board directly, that$3$ he might have his tea 
307:381,10['  ]| in$4$ comfort$0$ afterwards. 
307:381,11['  ]| As he left the room, two rosy-faced boys, ragged and 
307:381,12['  ]| dirty, about$4$ eight and nine years old, rushed into it just$5$ 
307:381,13['  ]| released from school, and coming eagerly to$9$ see their sister, 
307:381,14['  ]| and tell that$3$ the Thrush was gone out$5$ of the harbour$0$; $MP#ZZC$Tom 
307:381,15['  ]| and $MP#ZZC$Charles: $MP#ZZC$Charles had been born$1#1$ since $MP#A$Fanny's going 
307:381,16['  ]| away, but $MP#ZZC$Tom she often helped to$9$ nurse$1$, and now felt 
307:381,17['  ]| a particular pleasure in$4$ seeing again. Both were kissed 
307:381,18['  ]| very tenderly, but $MP#ZZC$Tom she wanted to$9$ keep by$4$ her, to$9$ try 
307:381,19['  ]| to$9$ trace the features of the baby she had loved, and talk$1$ to$4$ 
307:381,20['  ]| him of his infant preference of herself. $MP#ZZC$Tom, however, had 
307:381,21['  ]| no$2$ mind$0$ for$4$ such treatment: he came home, not to$9$ stand$1$ 
307:381,22['  ]| and be talked to$5$, but to$9$ run$1$ about$5$ and make$1$ a noise; and 
307:381,23['  ]| both boys had soon burst$1$ away from her, and slammed the 
307:381,24['  ]| parlour door till her temples ached. 
307:381,25['  ]| She had now seen all that$6#1$ were at home; there remained 
307:381,26['  ]| only two brothers between herself and $MP#V$Susan, one of whom$6#1$ 
307:381,27['  ]| was clerk in$4$ a public$2$ office in$4$ London, and the other 
307:381,28['  ]| midshipman on$4$ board an Indiaman. But though she had 
307:381,29['  ]| \seen\ all the members of the family, she had not yet \heard\ all 
307:381,30['  ]| the noise they could make$1$. Another quarter$0#1$ of an hour 
307:381,31['  ]| brought her a great deal$0$ more. $MP#Q$William was soon calling 
307:381,32['  ]| out$5$ from the landing-place of the second$2$ story, for$4$ his 
307:381,33['  ]| mother and for$4$ $MP#V$Rebecca. He was in$4$ distress$0$ for$4$ something 
307:381,34['  ]| that$6#1$ he had left there, and did not find again. A key was 
307:381,35['  ]| mislaid, $MP#ZZC$Betsey accused of having got at his new hat, and 
307:381,36['  ]| some slight$2$, but essential alteration of his uniform waistcoat, 
307:381,37['  ]| which$6#1$ he had been promised to$9$ have done for$4$ him, 
307:381,38['  ]| entirely neglected. 
307:382,01['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, $MP#V$Rebecca, and $MP#ZZC$Betsey, all went up$5$ to$9$ defend 
307:382,02['  ]| themselves, all talking together, but $MP#V$Rebecca loudest, and 
307:382,03['  ]| the job was to$9$ be done, as well$5$ as it could, in$4$ a great hurry$0$; 
307:382,04['  ]| $MP#Q$William trying$1$ in$4$ vain to$9$ send $MP#ZZC$Betsey down$5$ again, or keep 
307:382,05['  ]| her from being$1$ troublesome where she was; the whole$0$ of 
307:382,06['  ]| which$6#1$, as almost every door in$4$ the house was open$2$, could 
307:382,07['  ]| be plainly distinguished in$4$ the parlour, except when 
307:382,08['  ]| drowned at intervals by$4$ the superior noise of $MP#W$Sam, $MP#ZZC$Tom, 
307:382,09['  ]| and $MP#ZZC$Charles chasing each other up$5$ and down*stairs, and 
307:382,10['  ]| tumbling about$5$ and hallooing. 
307:382,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was almost stunned. The smallness of the house, 
307:382,12['  ]| and thinness of the walls, brought every*thing so$5#1$ close$5$ 
307:382,13['  ]| to$4$ her, that$3$, added to$4$ the fatigue$0$ of her journey, and all 
307:382,14['  ]| her recent agitation, she hardly knew how to$9$ bear$1$ it. 
307:382,15['  ]| \Within\ the room all was tranquil enough, for$3$ $MP#V$Susan having 
307:382,16['  ]| disappeared with the others, there were soon only her 
307:382,17['  ]| father and herself remaining; and he taking out$5$ a newspaper 
307:382,18['  ]| ~~ the accustomary loan of a neighbour, applied 
307:382,19['  ]| himself to$4$ studying it, without seeming to$9$ recollect her 
307:382,20['  ]| existence. The solitary candle was held between himself 
307:382,21['  ]| and the paper, without any reference to$4$ her possible 
307:382,22['  ]| convenience; but she had nothing to$9$ do, and was glad to$9$ 
307:382,23['  ]| have the light$0$ screened from her aching head$0$, as she sat in$4$ 
307:382,24['  ]| bewildered, broken, sorrowful contemplation. 
307:382,25['  ]| She was at home. 
307:382,25@a   | But alas! it was not such a home, she 
307:382,26@a   | had not such a welcome$0$, as ~~ 
307:382,26['  ]| she checked herself; 
307:382,26@a   | she 
307:382,27@a   | was unreasonable. What right$0$ had she to$9$ be of importance 
307:382,28@a   | to$4$ her family? She could have none, so$5#1$ long lost sight of! 
307:382,29@a   | $MP#Q$William's concerns$0$ must be dearest ~~ they always had 
307:382,30@a   | been ~~ and he had every right$0$. Yet to$9$ have so$5#1$ little said or 
307:382,31@a   | asked about$4$ herself ~~ to$9$ have scarcely an enquiry made 
307:382,32@a   | after$4$ Mansfield! It did pain$1$ her to$9$ have Mansfield 
307:382,33@a   | forgotten; the friends who$6#1$ had done so$5#1$ much ~~ the dear$2#1$, 
307:382,34@a   | dear$2#1$ friends! But here, one subject$0$ swallowed up$5$ all the 
307:382,35@a   | rest$0#1$. Perhaps it must be so$5#2$. The destination of the 
307:382,36@a   | Thrush must be now pre-eminently interesting. A day or 
307:382,37@a   | two might shew$1$ the difference. \She\ only was to$9$ blame$1$. 
307:382,38@a   | Yet she thought$1$ it would not have been so$5#2$ at Mansfield. 
307:383,01@a   | No$7$, in$4$ her uncle's house there would have been a consideration 
307:383,02@a   | of times and seasons, a regulation of subject$0$, a propriety, 
307:383,03@a   | an attention towards every*body which$6#1$ there was 
307:383,04@a   | not here. 
307:383,05['  ]| The only interruption which$6#1$ thoughts like$4$ these received 
307:383,06['  ]| for$4$ nearly half an hour, was from a sudden$2$ burst$0$ of her 
307:383,07['  ]| father's, not at all calculated to$9$ compose them. At a more 
307:383,08['  ]| than ordinary pitch of thumping and hallooing in$4$ the 
307:383,09['  ]| passage, he exclaimed, 
307:383,09[O  ]| "Devil take those young dogs! 
307:383,10[O  ]| How they are singing out$5$! Ay, $MP#W$Sam's voice louder than all 
307:383,11[O  ]| the rest$0#1$! That$6#2$ boy is fit$2$ for$4$ a boatswain. Holla ~~ you 
307:383,12[O  ]| there ~~ $MP#W$Sam ~~ stop$1$ your confounded pipe, or I shall be after$4$ 
307:383,13[O  ]| you." 
307:383,14['  ]| This threat was so$5#1$ palpably disregarded, that$3$ though 
307:383,15['  ]| within five minutes afterwards the three boys all burst$1$ into 
307:383,16['  ]| the room together and sat down$5$, $MP#A$Fanny could not consider 
307:383,17['  ]| it as a proof of any*thing more than their being$1$ for$4$ the time 
307:383,18['  ]| thoroughly fagged, which$6#1$ their hot faces and panting 
307:383,19['  ]| breaths seemed to$9$ prove ~~ especially as they were still$5$ 
307:383,20['  ]| kicking each other's shins, and hallooing out$5$ at sudden$2$ 
307:383,21['  ]| starts immediately under their father's eye. 
307:383,22['  ]| The next opening of the door brought something more 
307:383,23['  ]| welcome$2$; it was for$4$ the tea-things, which$6#1$ she had begun 
307:383,24['  ]| almost to$9$ despair$1$ of seeing that$6#2$ evening. $MP#V$Susan and an 
307:383,25['  ]| attendant girl, whose$6#1$ inferior appearance informed $MP#A$Fanny, 
307:383,26['  ]| to$4$ her great surprise$0$, that$3$ she had previously seen the 
307:383,27['  ]| upper servant, brought in$4$ every*thing necessary for$4$ the 
307:383,28['  ]| meal; $MP#V$Susan looking as she put the kettle on$4$ the fire$0$ and 
307:383,29['  ]| glanced at her sister, as if divided between the agreeable 
307:383,30['  ]| triumph$0$ of shewing her activity and usefulness, and the 
307:383,31['  ]| dread$0$ of being$1$ thought$1$ to$9$ demean herself by$4$ such an office. 
307:383,32[V  ]| "She had been into the kitchen," 
307:383,32['  ]| she said, 
307:383,32[V  ]| "to$9$ hurry$1$ 
307:383,33[V  ]| $MP#ZZF$Sally and help$1$ make$1$ the toast, and spread the bread and 
307:383,34[V  ]| butter ~~ or she did not know when they should have got 
307:383,35[V  ]| tea ~~ and she was sure her sister must want$1$ something after$4$ 
307:383,36[V  ]| her journey." 
307:383,37['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was very thankful. She could not but own$1$ that$3$ 
307:383,38['  ]| she should be very glad of a little tea, and $MP#V$Susan immediately 
307:384,01['  ]| set$1$ about$5$ making it, as if pleased to$9$ have the 
307:384,02['  ]| employment all to$4$ herself; and with only a little unnecessary 
307:384,03['  ]| bustle$0$, and some few injudicious attempts at keeping 
307:384,04['  ]| her brothers in$4$ better order than she could, acquitted 
307:384,05['  ]| herself very well$5$. $MP#A$Fanny's spirit was as much refreshed 
307:384,06['  ]| as her body; her head$0$ and heart were soon the better for$4$ 
307:384,07['  ]| such well-timed kindness. $MP#V$Susan had an open$2$, sensible$2#2$ 
307:384,08['  ]| countenance; she was like$4$ $MP#Q$William ~~ and $MP#A$Fanny hoped to$9$ 
307:384,09['  ]| find her like$4$ him in$4$ disposition and good*will towards 
307:384,10['  ]| herself. 
307:384,11['  ]| In$4$ this more placid state$0$ of things $MP#Q$William re-entered, 
307:384,12['  ]| followed not far behind by$4$ his mother and $MP#ZZC$Betsey. He, 
307:384,13['  ]| complete$2$ in$4$ his Lieutenant's uniform, looking and moving 
307:384,14['  ]| all the taller, firmer, and more graceful for$4$ it, and with the 
307:384,15['  ]| happiest smile$0$ over his face$0$, walked up$5$ directly to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny 
307:384,16['  ]| ~~ who$6#1$, rising from her seat, looked at him for$4$ a moment in$4$ 
307:384,17['  ]| speechless admiration, and then threw her arms round$4$ his 
307:384,18['  ]| neck to$9$ sob out$5$ her various emotions of pain$0$ and pleasure. 
307:384,19['  ]| Anxious not to$9$ appear unhappy, she soon recovered 
307:384,20['  ]| herself: and wiping away her tears, was able to$9$ notice$1$ and 
307:384,21['  ]| admire all the striking parts of his dress$0$ ~~ listening with 
307:384,22['  ]| reviving spirits to$4$ his cheerful hopes$0$ of being$1$ on$4$ shore some 
307:384,23['  ]| part$0$ of every day before$3$ they sailed, and even$5$ of getting 
307:384,24['  ]| her to$4$ Spithead to$9$ see the sloop. 
307:384,25['  ]| The next bustle$0$ brought in$4$ $MP#ZD$Mr%*Campbell, the Surgeon of 
307:384,26['  ]| the Thrush, a very well$5$ behaved young man, who$6#1$ came to$9$ 
307:384,27['  ]| call$1$ for$4$ his friend, and for$4$ whom$6#1$ there was with some 
307:384,28['  ]| contrivance found a chair, and with some hasty washing 
307:384,29['  ]| of the young tea-maker's, a cup and saucer; and after$4$ 
307:384,30['  ]| another quarter$0#1$ of an hour of earnest talk$0$ between the 
307:384,31['  ]| gentlemen, noise rising upon$4$ noise, and bustle$0$ upon$4$ bustle$0$, 
307:384,32['  ]| men and boys at last$0$ all in$4$ motion together, the moment 
307:384,33['  ]| came for$4$ setting off; every*thing was ready, $MP#Q$William took 
307:384,34['  ]| leave$0$, and all of them were gone ~~ for$4$ the three boys, in$4$ 
307:384,35['  ]| spite$8$ of their mother's intreaty, determined to$9$ see their 
307:384,36['  ]| brother and $MP#ZD$Mr%*Campbell to$4$ the sally-port; and $MP#O$Mr%*Price 
307:384,37['  ]| walked off at the same time to$9$ carry back$5$ his neighbour's 
307:384,38['  ]| newspaper. 
307:385,01['  ]| Something like$4$ tranquillity might now be hoped for$5$, and 
307:385,02['  ]| accordingly, when $MP#V$Rebecca had been prevailed on$5$ to$9$ carry 
307:385,03['  ]| away the tea-things, and $MP#P$Mrs%*Price had walked about$4$ the 
307:385,04['  ]| room some time looking for$4$ a shirt sleeve, which$6#1$ $MP#ZZC$Betsey at 
307:385,05['  ]| last$0$ hunted out$5$ from a drawer in$4$ the kitchen, the small 
307:385,06['  ]| party of females were pretty$5$ well$5$ composed, and the 
307:385,07['  ]| mother having lamented again over the impossibility of 
307:385,08['  ]| getting $MP#W$Sam ready in$4$ time, was at leisure to$9$ think of her 
307:385,09['  ]| eldest daughter and the friends she had come from. 
307:385,10['  ]| A few enquiries began; but one of the earliest ~~ 
307:385,10[P  ]| "How 
307:385,11[P  ]| did her sister $MP#F$Bertram manage about$4$ her servants? Was 
307:385,12[P  ]| she as much plagued as herself to$9$ get tolerable servants?" 
307:385,13['  ]| ~~ soon led her mind$0$ away from Northamptonshire, and 
307:385,14['  ]| fixed it on$4$ her own$2$ domestic$2$ grievances; and the shocking 
307:385,15['  ]| character of all the Portsmouth servants, of whom$6#1$ she 
307:385,16['  ]| believed her own$2$ two were the very worst, engrossed her 
307:385,17['  ]| completely. The $MP#E1$Bertrams were all forgotten in$4$ detailing 
307:385,18['  ]| the faults of $MP#V$Rebecca, against whom$6#1$ $MP#V$Susan had also much 
307:385,19['  ]| to$9$ depose, and little $MP#ZZC$Betsey a great deal$0$ more, and who$6#1$ did 
307:385,20['  ]| seem so$5#1$ thoroughly without a single recommendation, that$3$ 
307:385,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not help$1$ modestly presuming that$3$ 
307:385,21@a   | her mother 
307:385,22@a   | meant to$9$ part$1$ with her when her year was up$5$. 
307:385,23[P  ]| "Her year!" 
307:385,23['  ]| cried $MP#P$Mrs%*Price; 
307:385,23[P  ]| "I am sure I hope$1$ 
307:385,24[P  ]| I shall be rid of her before$3$ she has staid a year, for$3$ that$6#2$ 
307:385,24[P  ]| will$1$ 
307:385,25[P  ]| not be up$5$ till November. Servants are come to$4$ such a pass$0$, 
307:385,26[P  ]| my dear$2#1$, in$4$ Portsmouth, that$3$ it is quite a miracle if one 
307:385,27[P  ]| keeps them more than half-a-year. I have no$2$ hope$0$ of ever 
307:385,28[P  ]| being$1$ settled; and if I was to$9$ part$1$ with $MP#V$Rebecca, I should 
307:385,29[P  ]| only get something worse. And yet, I do not think I am 
307:385,30[P  ]| a very difficult mistress to$9$ please ~~ and I am sure the place$0$ 
307:385,31[P  ]| is easy enough, for$3$ there is always a girl under her, and 
307:385,32[P  ]| I often do half the work$0$ myself." 
307:385,33['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was silent; but not from being$1$ convinced that$3$ 
307:385,34['  ]| there might not be a remedy found for$4$ some of these evils. 
307:385,35['  ]| As she now sat looking at $MP#ZZC$Betsey, 
307:385,35@a   | she could not but think 
307:385,36@a   | particularly of another sister, a very pretty$2$ little girl, 
307:385,37@a   | whom$6#1$ she had left there not much younger when she went 
307:385,38@a   | into Northamptonshire, who$6#1$ had died a few years afterwards. 
307:386,01@a   | There had been something remarkably amiable 
307:386,02@a   | about$4$ her. 
307:386,02['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ those early days, had preferred her 
307:386,03['  ]| to$4$ $MP#V$Susan; and when the news of her death had at last$0$ 
307:386,04['  ]| reached Mansfield, had for$4$ a short time been quite 
307:386,05['  ]| afflicted. ~~ The sight of $MP#ZZC$Betsey brought the image of little 
307:386,06['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Mary back$5$ again, but she would not have pained her 
307:386,07['  ]| mother by$4$ alluding to$4$ her, for$4$ the world. ~~ While$4$ considering 
307:386,08['  ]| her with these ideas, $MP#ZZC$Betsey, at a small distance$0$, was 
307:386,09['  ]| holding out$5$ something to$9$ catch$1$ her eyes, meaning to$9$ 
307:386,10['  ]| screen it at the same time from $MP#V$Susan's. 
307:386,11[A  ]| "What have you got there, my love$0$?" 
307:386,11['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, 
307:386,12[A  ]| "come and shew$1$ it to$4$ me." 
307:386,13['  ]| It was a silver knife. Up$5$ jumped $MP#V$Susan, claiming it as 
307:386,14['  ]| her own$2$, and trying$1$ to$9$ get it away; but the child ran to$4$ 
307:386,15['  ]| her mother's protection, and $MP#V$Susan could only reproach$1$, 
307:386,16['  ]| which$6#1$ she did very warmly, and evidently hoping to$9$ 
307:386,17['  ]| interest$1$ $MP#A$Fanny on$4$ her side$0$. 
307:386,17[V  ]| "It was very hard that$3$ she 
307:386,18[V  ]| was not to$9$ have her \own$2$\ knife; it was her own$2$ knife; little 
307:386,19[V  ]| sister $MP#ZZC$Mary had left it to$4$ her upon$4$ her death-bed, and she 
307:386,20[V  ]| ought to$9$ have had it to$9$ keep herself long ago. But mamma 
307:386,21[V  ]| kept it from her, and was always letting $MP#ZZC$Betsey get hold$0$ of 
307:386,22[V  ]| it; and the end$0$ of it would be that$3$ $MP#ZZC$Betsey would spoil it, 
307:386,23[V  ]| and get it for$4$ her own$2$, though mamma had \promised\ her 
307:386,24[V  ]| that$3$ $MP#ZZC$Betsey should not have it in$4$ her own$2$ hands." 
307:386,25['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was quite shocked. Every feeling of duty, 
307:386,26['  ]| honour$0$, and tenderness was wounded by$4$ her sister's speech 
307:386,27['  ]| and her mother's reply$0$. 
307:386,28[P  ]| "Now, $MP#V$Susan," 
307:386,28['  ]| cried $MP#P$Mrs%*Price in$4$ a complaining voice, 
307:386,29[P  ]| "now, how can you be so$5#1$ cross$2$? You are always 
307:386,30[P  ]| quarrelling about$4$ that$6#2$ knife. I wish$1$ you would not be so$5#1$ 
307:386,31[P  ]| quarrelsome. Poor little $MP#ZZC$Betsey; how cross$2$ $MP#V$Susan is to$4$ 
307:386,32[P  ]| you! But you should not have taken it out$5$, my dear$2#1$, 
307:386,33[P  ]| when I sent you to$4$ the drawer. You know I told you not 
307:386,34[P  ]| to$9$ touch$1$ it, because $MP#V$Susan is so$5#1$ cross$2$ about$4$ it. I must hide 
307:386,35[P  ]| it another time, $MP#ZZC$Betsey. Poor $MP#ZZC$Mary little thought$1$ it would 
307:386,36[P  ]| be such a bone of contention when she gave it me to$9$ 
307:386,37[P  ]| keep, only two hours before$3$ she died. Poor little soul! she 
307:386,38[P  ]| could but just$5$ speak to$9$ be heard, and she said so$5#2$ prettily, 
307:387,01@v   | Let sister $MP#V$Susan have my knife, mamma, when I am dead 
307:387,02@v   | and buried." ~~ 
307:387,02[P  ]| Poor little dear$2#1$! she was so$5#1$ fond of it, 
307:387,03[P  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ she would have it lay$1#2$ by$4$ her in$4$ bed, all 
307:387,04[P  ]| through$4$ her illness. It was the gift of her good godmother, 
307:387,05[P  ]| old $MP#ZW$Mrs%*Admiral*Maxwell, only six weeks before$3$ 
307:387,06[P  ]| she was taken for$4$ death. Poor little sweet creature! 
307:387,07[P  ]| Well$7$, she was taken away from evil to$9$ come. My own$2$ 
307:387,08[P  ]| $MP#ZZC$Betsey, 
307:387,08['  ]| (fondling her), 
307:387,08[P  ]| \you\ have not the luck of such a good 
307:387,09[P  ]| godmother. Aunt $MP#J$Norris lives$1$ too$5#1$ far off, to$9$ think of such 
307:387,10[P  ]| little people as you." 
307:387,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had indeed nothing to$9$ convey from aunt $MP#J$Norris, 
307:387,12['  ]| but a message to$9$ say 
307:387,12@j   | she hoped her god-daughter was 
307:387,13@j   | a good girl, and learnt her book. 
307:387,13['  ]| There had been at one 
307:387,14['  ]| moment a slight$2$ murmur in$4$ the drawing-room at Mansfield*Park, 
307:387,15['  ]| about$4$ sending her a Prayer-book; but no$2$ second$2$ 
307:387,16['  ]| sound$0$ had been heard of such a purpose. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
307:387,17['  ]| however, had gone home and taken down$5$ two old Prayer-books 
307:387,18['  ]| of her husband, with that$6#2$ idea, but upon$4$ examination, 
307:387,19['  ]| the ardour of generosity went off. One was found to$9$ 
307:387,20['  ]| have too$5#1$ small a print for$4$ a child's eyes, and the other to$9$ 
307:387,21['  ]| be too$5#1$ cumbersome for$4$ her to$9$ carry about$5$. 
307:387,22['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny fatigued and fatigued again, was thankful to$9$ 
307:387,23['  ]| accept the first invitation of going to$4$ bed; and before$3$ 
307:387,24['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Betsey had finished her cry$0$ at being$1$ allowed to$9$ sit up$5$ only 
307:387,25['  ]| one hour extraordinary in$4$ honour$0$ of sister, she was off, 
307:387,26['  ]| leaving all below in$4$ confusion and noise again, the boys 
307:387,27['  ]| begging for$4$ toasted cheese, her father calling out$5$ for$4$ his rum 
307:387,28['  ]| and water, and $MP#V$Rebecca never where she ought to$9$ be. 
307:387,29['  ]| There was nothing to$9$ raise her spirits in$4$ the confined and 
307:387,30['  ]| scantily-furnished chamber that$6#1$ she was to$9$ share$1$ with 
307:387,31['  ]| $MP#V$Susan. The smallness of the rooms above$5$ and below 
307:387,32['  ]| indeed, and the narrowness of the passage and staircase, 
307:387,33['  ]| struck her beyond$4$ her imagination. She soon learnt to$9$ 
307:387,34['  ]| think with respect$0$ of her own$2$ little attic at Mansfield*Park, 
307:387,35['  ]| in$4$ \that$6#2$\ house reckoned too$5#1$ small for$4$ anybody's comfort$0$. 
308:388,01['  ]| Could $MP#E$Sir*Thomas have seen all his niece's feelings, 
308:388,02['  ]| when she wrote her first letter to$4$ her aunt, he would not 
308:388,03['  ]| have despaired; for$3$ though a good night's rest$0#2$, a pleasant 
308:388,04['  ]| morning, the hope$0$ of soon seeing $MP#Q$William again, and the 
308:388,05['  ]| comparatively quiet$2$ state$0$ of the house, from $MP#ZZC$Tom and 
308:388,06['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Charles being$1$ gone to$4$ school, $MP#W$Sam on$4$ some project of his 
308:388,07['  ]| own$2$, and her father on$4$ his usual lounges, enabled her to$9$ 
308:388,08['  ]| express$1$ herself cheerfully on$4$ the subject$0$ of home, there 
308:388,09['  ]| were still$5$ to$4$ her own$2$ perfect$2$ consciousness, many drawbacks 
308:388,10['  ]| suppressed. Could he have seen only half that$6#1$ she 
308:388,11['  ]| felt before$4$ the end$0$ of a week, he would have thought$1$ 
308:388,12['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford sure of her, and been delighted with his own$2$ 
308:388,13['  ]| sagacity. 
308:388,14['  ]| Before$3$ the week ended, it was all disappointment. In$4$ 
308:388,15['  ]| the first place$0$, $MP#Q$William was gone. The Thrush had had her 
308:388,16['  ]| orders$0#1$, the wind had changed, and he was sailed within 
308:388,17['  ]| four days from their reaching Portsmouth; and during 
308:388,18['  ]| those days, she had seen him only twice, in$4$ a short and 
308:388,19['  ]| hurried way, when he had come ashore on$4$ duty. There had 
308:388,20['  ]| been no$2$ free conversation, no$2$ walk$0$ on$4$ the ramparts, no$2$ visit$0$ 
308:388,21['  ]| to$4$ the dock-yard, no$2$ acquaintance with the Thrush ~~ 
308:388,22['  ]| nothing of all that$6#1$ they had planned and depended on$4$. 
308:388,23['  ]| Every*thing in$4$ that$6#2$ quarter$0#2$ failed her, except $MP#Q$William's 
308:388,24['  ]| affection. His last$2$ thought$1$ on$4$ leaving home was for$4$ her. 
308:388,25['  ]| He stepped back$5$ again to$4$ the door to$9$ say, 
308:388,25[Q  ]| "Take care$0$ of 
308:388,26[Q  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, mother. She is tender$2$, and not used to$9$ rough it 
308:388,27[Q  ]| like$4$ the rest$0#1$ of us. I charge$1$ you, take care$0$ of $MP#A$Fanny." 
308:388,28@a   | $MP#Q$William was gone; ~~ and the home he had left her in$4$ 
308:388,29@a   | was ~~ 
308:388,29['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny could not conceal it from herself ~~ 
308:388,29@a   | in$4$ almost 
308:388,30@a   | every respect$0$, the very reverse of what she could have 
308:388,31@a   | wished. It was the abode of noise, disorder, and impropriety. 
308:388,32@a   | Nobody was in$4$ their right$2#1$ place$0$, nothing was done 
308:389,01@a   | as it ought to$9$ be. She could not respect$1$ her parents, as she 
308:389,02@a   | had hoped. On$4$ her father, her confidence had not been 
308:389,03@a   | sanguine, but he was more negligent of his family, his habits 
308:389,04@a   | were worse, and his manners coarser, than she had been 
308:389,05@a   | prepared for$5$. He did not want$1$ abilities; but he had no$2$ 
308:389,06@a   | curiosity, and no$2$ information beyond$4$ his profession$0#2$; he 
308:389,07@a   | read only the newspaper and the navy-list; he talked only 
308:389,08@a   | of the dock-yard, the harbour$0$, Spithead, and the Motherbank; 
308:389,09@a   | he swore and he drank, he was dirty and gross. 
308:389,10@a   | She had never been able to$9$ recal$1$ anything approaching to$4$ 
308:389,11@a   | tenderness in$4$ his former treatment of herself. There had 
308:389,12@a   | remained only a general$2$ impression of roughness and 
308:389,13@a   | loudness; and now he scarcely ever noticed her, but to$9$ 
308:389,14@a   | make$1$ her the object$0$ of a coarse joke. 
308:389,15@a   | Her disappointment in$4$ her mother was greater; \there\ 
308:389,16@a   | she had hoped much, and found almost nothing. Every 
308:389,17@a   | flattering scheme$0$ of being$1$ of consequence to$4$ her soon fell to$4$ 
308:389,18@a   | the ground. 
308:389,18['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price was not unkind ~~ but, instead of 
308:389,19['  ]| gaining on$4$ her affection and confidence, and becoming 
308:389,20['  ]| more and more dear$2#1$, her daughter never met with greater 
308:389,21['  ]| kindness from her, than on$4$ the first day of her arrival. 
308:389,22['  ]| The instinct of nature was soon satisfied, and $MP#P$Mrs%*Price's 
308:389,23['  ]| attachment had no$2$ other source. Her heart and her time 
308:389,24['  ]| were already quite full; she had neither leisure nor 
308:389,25['  ]| affection to$9$ bestow on$4$ $MP#A$Fanny. Her daughters never had 
308:389,26['  ]| been much to$4$ her. She was fond of her sons, especially of 
308:389,27['  ]| $MP#Q$William, but $MP#ZZC$Betsey was the first of her girls whom$6#1$ she had 
308:389,28['  ]| ever much regarded. To$4$ her she was most injudiciously 
308:389,29['  ]| indulgent. $MP#Q$William was her pride; $MP#ZZC$Betsey, her darling; 
308:389,30['  ]| and $MP#ZZC$John, $MP#ZZC$Richard, $MP#W$Sam, $MP#ZZC$Tom, and $MP#ZZC$Charles, 
308:389,30['  ]| occupied all 
308:389,31['  ]| the rest$0#1$ of her maternal solicitude, alternately her worries 
308:389,32['  ]| and her comforts. These shared her heart; her time was 
308:389,33['  ]| given chiefly to$4$ her house and her servants. Her days 
308:389,34['  ]| were spent in$4$ a kind$0$ of slow bustle$0$; always busy without 
308:389,35['  ]| getting on$5$, always behindhand and lamenting it, without 
308:389,36['  ]| altering her ways; wishing to$9$ be an economist, without 
308:389,37['  ]| contrivance or regularity; dissatisfied with her servants, 
308:389,38['  ]| without skill to$9$ make$1$ them better, and whether helping, 
308:390,01['  ]| or reprimanding, or indulging them, without any power 
308:390,02['  ]| of engaging their respect$0$. 
308:390,03['  ]| Of her two sisters, $MP#P$Mrs%*Price very much more resembled 
308:390,04['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram than $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris. She was a manager by$4$ 
308:390,05['  ]| necessity, without any of $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's inclination for$4$ it, or 
308:390,06['  ]| any of her activity. Her disposition was naturally easy 
308:390,07['  ]| and indolent, like$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's; and a situation of 
308:390,08['  ]| similar affluence and do-nothing-ness would have been 
308:390,09['  ]| much more suited to$4$ her capacity, than the exertions and 
308:390,10['  ]| self-denials of the one, which$6#1$ her imprudent marriage had 
308:390,11['  ]| placed her in$4$. She might have made just$5$ as good a woman 
308:390,12['  ]| of consequence as $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, but $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris would 
308:390,13['  ]| have been a more respectable mother of nine children, on$4$ 
308:390,14['  ]| a small income. 
308:390,15['  ]| Much of all this, $MP#A$Fanny could not but be sensible$2#1$ of. 
308:390,16['  ]| She might scruple$1$ to$9$ make$1$ use$0$ of the words, but she must 
308:390,17['  ]| and did feel that$3$ 
308:390,17@a   | her mother was a partial, ill-judging 
308:390,18@a   | parent, a dawdle, a slattern, who$6#1$ neither taught nor 
308:390,19@a   | restrained her children, whose$6#1$ house was the scene of 
308:390,20@a   | mismanagement and discomfort from beginning to$4$ end$0$, 
308:390,21@a   | and who$6#1$ had no$2$ talent, no$2$ conversation, no$2$ affection 
308:390,22@a   | towards herself; no$2$ curiosity to$9$ know her better, no$2$ desire$0$ 
308:390,23@a   | of her friendship, and no$2$ inclination for$4$ her company that$6#1$ 
308:390,24@a   | could lessen her sense of such feelings. 
308:390,25['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was very anxious to$9$ be useful, and not to$9$ appear 
308:390,26['  ]| above$4$ her home, or in$4$ any way disqualified or disinclined, 
308:390,27['  ]| by$4$ her foreign education, from contributing her help$0$ to$4$ its 
308:390,28['  ]| comforts, and therefore set$1$ about$5$ working for$4$ $MP#W$Sam 
308:390,29['  ]| immediately, and by$4$ working early and late, with perseverance 
308:390,30['  ]| and great dispatch, did so$5#1$ much, that$3$ the boy 
308:390,31['  ]| was shipped off at last$0$, with more than half his linen ready. 
308:390,32['  ]| She had great pleasure in$4$ feeling her usefulness, but could 
308:390,33['  ]| not conceive how they would have managed without her. 
308:390,34['  ]| $MP#W$Sam, loud and overbearing as he was, she rather 
308:390,35['  ]| regretted when he went, for$3$ he was clever and intelligent, 
308:390,36['  ]| and glad to$9$ be employed in$4$ any errand in$4$ the town; and 
308:390,37['  ]| though spurning the remonstrances of $MP#V$Susan, given as they 
308:390,38['  ]| were ~~ though very reasonable in$4$ themselves, with ill-timed 
308:391,01['  ]| and powerless warmth, was beginning to$9$ be influenced by$4$ 
308:391,02['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's services, and gentle persuasions; and she found 
308:391,03['  ]| that$3$ the best of the three younger ones was gone in$4$ him; 
308:391,04['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Tom and $MP#ZZC$Charles being$1$ at least as many years as they were 
308:391,05['  ]| his juniors distant from that$6#2$ age of feeling and reason$0$, 
308:391,06['  ]| which$6#1$ might suggest the expediency of making friends, and 
308:391,07['  ]| of endeavouring to$9$ be less disagreeable. Their sister soon 
308:391,08['  ]| despaired of making the smallest impression on$4$ \them\; they 
308:391,09['  ]| were quite untameable by$4$ any means$0$ of address$0$ which$6#1$ she 
308:391,10['  ]| had spirits or time to$9$ attempt$1$. Every afternoon brought 
308:391,11['  ]| a return$0$ of their riotous games all over the house; and she 
308:391,12['  ]| very early learnt to$9$ sigh$1$ at the approach$0$ of Saturday's 
308:391,13['  ]| constant half holiday. 
308:391,14['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Betsey too$5#2$, a spoilt child, trained up$5$ to$9$ think the 
308:391,15['  ]| alphabet her greatest enemy, left to$9$ be with the servants 
308:391,16['  ]| at her pleasure, and then encouraged to$9$ report$1$ any evil of 
308:391,17['  ]| them, she was almost as ready to$9$ despair$1$ of being$1$ able to$9$ 
308:391,18['  ]| love$1$ or assist; and of $MP#V$Susan's temper, she had many 
308:391,19['  ]| doubts$0$. Her continual disagreements with her mother, her 
308:391,20['  ]| rash squabbles with $MP#ZZC$Tom and $MP#ZZC$Charles, and petulance with 
308:391,21['  ]| $MP#ZZC$Betsey, were at least so$5#1$ distressing to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ though 
308:391,22['  ]| admitting they were by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ without provocation, she 
308:391,23['  ]| feared the disposition that$6#1$ could push$1$ them to$4$ such length 
308:391,24['  ]| must be far from amiable, and from affording any repose to$4$ 
308:391,25['  ]| herself. 
308:391,26['  ]| Such was the home which$6#1$ was to$9$ put Mansfield out$5$ of 
308:391,27['  ]| her head$0$, and teach her to$9$ think of her cousin $MP#B$Edmund 
308:391,28['  ]| with moderated feelings. On$4$ the contrary, she could think 
308:391,29['  ]| of nothing but Mansfield, its beloved inmates, its happy 
308:391,30['  ]| ways. Every*thing where she now was was in$4$ full contrast 
308:391,31['  ]| to$4$ it. The elegance, propriety, regularity, harmony ~~ and 
308:391,32['  ]| perhaps, above$4$ all, the peace and tranquillity of Mansfield, 
308:391,33['  ]| were brought to$4$ her remembrance every hour of the day, 
308:391,34['  ]| by$4$ the prevalence of every*thing opposite to$4$ them \here\. 
308:391,35['  ]| The living in$4$ incessant noise was to$4$ a frame and temper, 
308:391,36['  ]| delicate and nervous like$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's, an evil which$6#1$ no$2$ super-added 
308:391,37['  ]| elegance or harmony could have entirely atoned for$4$. 
308:391,38@a   | It was the greatest misery of all. At Mansfield, no$2$ sounds$0$ 
308:392,01@a   | of contention, no$2$ raised voice, no$2$ abrupt bursts, no$2$ tread 
308:392,02@a   | of violence was ever heard; all proceeded in$4$ a regular 
308:392,03@a   | course$0$ of cheerful orderliness; every*body had their due$2$ 
308:392,04@a   | importance; every*body's feelings were consulted. If 
308:392,05@a   | tenderness could be ever supposed wanting, good sense and 
308:392,06@a   | good*breeding supplied its place$0$; and as to$4$ the little 
308:392,07@a   | irritations, sometimes introduced by$4$ aunt $MP#J$Norris, they 
308:392,08@a   | were short, they were trifling, they were as a drop$0$ of water 
308:392,09@a   | to$4$ the ocean, compared with the ceaseless tumult of her 
308:392,10@a   | present$2$ abode. Here, every*body was noisy, every voice 
308:392,11@a   | was loud, (excepting, perhaps, her mother's, which$6#1$ 
308:392,12@a   | resembled the soft monotony of $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's, only 
308:392,13@a   | worn into fretfulness.) ~~ Whatever was wanted, was 
308:392,14@a   | halloo'd for$5$, and the servants halloo'd out$5$ their excuses 
308:392,15@a   | from the kitchen. The doors were in$4$ constant banging, 
308:392,16@a   | the stairs were never at rest$0#2$, nothing was done without 
308:392,17@a   | a clatter, nobody sat still$2$, and nobody could command$1$ 
308:392,18@a   | attention when they spoke. 
308:392,19['  ]| In$4$ a review of the two houses, as they appeared to$4$ her 
308:392,20['  ]| before$4$ the end$0$ of a week, $MP#A$Fanny was tempted to$9$ apply to$4$ 
308:392,21['  ]| them $MP#Z1$Dr%*Johnson's celebrated judgment as to$4$ matrimony 
308:392,22['  ]| and celibacy, and say, that$3$ though Mansfield*Park might 
308:392,23['  ]| have some pains, Portsmouth could have no$2$ pleasures. 
309:393,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was right$2#1$ enough in$4$ not expecting to$9$ hear from 
309:393,02['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford now, at the rapid rate$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ their 
309:393,03['  ]| correspondence had begun; $MP#C$Mary's next letter was after$4$ 
309:393,04['  ]| a decidedly longer interval than the last$0$, but she was not 
309:393,05['  ]| right$2#1$ in$4$ supposing that$3$ such an interval would be felt 
309:393,06['  ]| a great relief to$4$ herself. ~~ Here was another strange 
309:393,07['  ]| revolution of mind$0$! ~~ She was really glad to$9$ receive the 
309:393,08['  ]| letter when it did come. In$4$ her present$2$ exile from good 
309:393,09['  ]| society, and distance$0$ from every*thing that$6#1$ had been wont 
309:393,10['  ]| to$9$ interest$1$ her, a letter from one belonging to$4$ the set$0$ where 
309:393,11['  ]| her heart lived, written with affection, and some degree of 
309:393,12['  ]| elegance, was thoroughly acceptable. ~~ The usual plea of 
309:393,13['  ]| increasing engagements was made in$4$ excuse$0$ for$4$ not having 
309:393,14['  ]| written to$4$ her earlier, 
309:393,14[C  ]| "and now that$3$ I have begun," 
309:393,14['  ]| she 
309:393,15['  ]| continued, 
309:393,15[C  ]| "my letter will$1$ not be worth your reading, for$3$ 
309:393,16[C  ]| there will$1$ be no$2$ little offering of love$0$ at the end$0$, no$2$ three or 
309:393,17[C  ]| four lines passione=es from the most devoted $MP#D$H%*C% in$4$ the 
309:393,18[C  ]| world, for$3$ $MP#D$Henry is in$4$ Norfolk; business called him to$4$ 
309:393,19[C  ]| Everingham ten days ago, or perhaps he only pretended 
309:393,20[C  ]| the call$0$, for$3$ the sake of being$1$ travelling at the same time 
309:393,21[C  ]| that$6#1$ you were. But there he is, and, by*the*by, his absence 
309:393,22[C  ]| may$1$ sufficiently account$1$ for$4$ any remissness of his sister's 
309:393,23[C  ]| in$4$ writing, for$3$ there has been no$2$ ""well$7$, $MP#C$Mary, when do 
309:393,24[C  ]| you write to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny? ~~ is not it time for$4$ you to$9$ write to$4$ 
309:393,25[C  ]| $MP#A$Fanny?"" to$9$ spur me on$5$. At last$0$, after$4$ various attempts at 
309:393,26[C  ]| meeting, I have seen your cousins, ""dear$2#1$ $MP#I$Julia and dearest 
309:393,27[C  ]| $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth;"" they found me at home yesterday, and 
309:393,28[C  ]| we were glad to$9$ see each other again. We \seemed\ \very\ glad 
309:393,29[C  ]| to$9$ see each other, and I do really think we were a little. ~~ 
309:393,30[C  ]| We had a vast deal$0$ to$9$ say. ~~ Shall I tell you how $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth 
309:393,31[C  ]| looked when your name$0$ was mentioned? I did not 
309:393,32[C  ]| use$1$ to$9$ think her wanting in$4$ self possession, but she had not 
309:394,01[C  ]| quite enough for$4$ the demands$0$ of yesterday. Upon$4$ the 
309:394,02[C  ]| whole$0$ $MP#I$Julia was in$4$ the best looks$0$ of the two, at least after$3$ 
309:394,03[C  ]| you were spoken of. There was no$2$ recovering the complexion 
309:394,04[C  ]| from the moment that$6#1$ I spoke of ""$MP#A$Fanny"", and 
309:394,05[C  ]| spoke of her as a sister should. ~~ But $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth's day 
309:394,06[C  ]| of good looks$0$ will$1$ come; we have cards for$4$ her first party 
309:394,07[C  ]| on$4$ the 28th. ~~ Then she will$1$ be in$4$ beauty, for$3$ she will$1$ open$1$ 
309:394,08[C  ]| one of the best houses in$4$ Wimpole*Street. I was in$4$ it two 
309:394,09[C  ]| years ago, when it was $MP#ZR$Lady*Lascelles's, and prefer it to$4$ 
309:394,10[C  ]| almost any I know in$4$ London, and certainly she will$1$ then 
309:394,11[C  ]| feel ~~ to$9$ use$1$ a vulgar phrase ~~ that$3$ she has got her penny-worth 
309:394,12[C  ]| for$4$ her penny. $MP#D$Henry could not have afforded her 
309:394,13[C  ]| such a house. I hope$1$ she will$1$ recollect it, and be satisfied, 
309:394,14[C  ]| as well$5$ she may$1$, with moving the queen of a palace, though 
309:394,15[C  ]| the king may$1$ appear best in$4$ the back*ground, and as 
309:394,16[C  ]| I have no$2$ desire$0$ to$9$ tease her, I shall never \force$1$\ your name$0$ 
309:394,17[C  ]| upon$4$ her again. She will$1$ grow sober by$4$ degrees. ~~ From 
309:394,18[C  ]| all that$6#1$ I hear and guess$1$, $MP#ZZM$Baron*Wildenhaim's attentions 
309:394,18[C  ]| to$4$ 
309:394,19[C  ]| $MP#I$Julia continue, but I do not know that$3$ he has any serious$2$ 
309:394,20[C  ]| encouragement. She ought to$9$ do better. A poor honourable 
309:394,21[C  ]| is no$2$ catch$0$, and I cannot imagine any liking in$4$ the 
309:394,22[C  ]| case, for$3$, take away his rants, and the poor $MP#ZZM$Baron has 
309:394,23[C  ]| nothing. What a difference a vowel makes! ~~ if his rents 
309:394,24[C  ]| were but equal$2$ to$4$ his rants! ~~ Your cousin $MP#B$Edmund moves 
309:394,25[C  ]| slowly; detained, perchance, by$4$ parish duties. There 
309:394,26[C  ]| may$1$ be some old woman at Thornton*Lacey to$9$ be converted. 
309:394,27[C  ]| I am unwilling to$9$ fancy$1$ myself neglected for$4$ a 
309:394,28[C  ]| \young\ one. Adieu, my dear$2#1$ sweet $MP#A$Fanny, this is a long 
309:394,29[C  ]| letter from London; write me a pretty$2$ one in$4$ reply$0$ to$9$ 
309:394,30[C  ]| gladden $MP#D$Henry's eyes, when he comes back$5$ ~~ and send me 
309:394,31[C  ]| an account$0$ of all the dashing young captains whom$6#1$ you 
309:394,32[C  ]| disdain$1$ for$4$ his sake." 
309:394,33['  ]| There was great food for$4$ meditation in$4$ this letter, and 
309:394,34['  ]| chiefly for$4$ unpleasant meditation; 
309:394,34@a   | and yet, with all the 
309:394,35@a   | uneasiness it supplied, it connected her with the absent, it 
309:394,36@a   | told her of people and things about$4$ whom$6#1$ she had never 
309:394,37@a   | felt so$5#1$ much curiosity as now, and she would have been 
309:394,38@a   | glad to$9$ have been sure of such a letter every week. Her 
309:395,01@a   | correspondence with her aunt $MP#F$Bertram was her only 
309:395,02@a   | concern$0$ of higher interest$0$. 
309:395,03@a   | As for$4$ any society in$4$ Portsmouth, that$6#1$ could at all make$1$ 
309:395,04@a   | amends for$4$ deficiencies at home, there were none within 
309:395,05@a   | the circle of her father's and mother's acquaintance to$9$ 
309:395,06@a   | afford her the smallest satisfaction; she saw nobody in$4$ 
309:395,07@a   | whose$6#1$ favour$0$ she could wish$1$ to$9$ overcome her own$2$ shyness 
309:395,08@a   | and reserve$0$. The men appeared to$4$ her all coarse, the 
309:395,09@a   | women all pert, every*body under-bred; and she gave 
309:395,10@a   | as little contentment as she received from introductions 
309:395,11@a   | either to$4$ old or new acquaintance. 
309:395,11['  ]| The young ladies who$6#1$ 
309:395,12['  ]| approached her at first with some respect$0$ in$4$ consideration 
309:395,13['  ]| of her coming from a Baronet's family, were soon offended 
309:395,14['  ]| by$4$ what they termed "airs" ~~ for$3$ as she neither played on$4$ 
309:395,15['  ]| the pianoforte nor wore fine pelisses, they could, on$4$ farther 
309:395,16['  ]| observation, admit no$2$ right$0$ of superiority. 
309:395,17['  ]| The first solid consolation which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny received for$4$ the 
309:395,18['  ]| evils of home, the first which$6#1$ her judgment could entirely 
309:395,19['  ]| approve, and which$6#1$ gave any promise$0$ of durability, was in$4$ 
309:395,20['  ]| a better knowledge of $MP#V$Susan, and a hope$0$ of being$1$ of service 
309:395,21['  ]| to$4$ her. $MP#V$Susan had always behaved pleasantly to$4$ herself, 
309:395,22['  ]| but the determined character of her general$2$ manners had 
309:395,23['  ]| astonished and alarmed her, and it was at least a fortnight 
309:395,24['  ]| before$3$ she began to$9$ understand a disposition so$5#1$ totally 
309:395,25['  ]| different from her own$2$. $MP#V$Susan saw that$3$ much was wrong 
309:395,26['  ]| at home, and wanted to$9$ set$1$ it right$2#1$. That$3$ a girl of fourteen, 
309:395,27['  ]| acting only on$4$ her own$2$ unassisted reason$0$, should err in$4$ the 
309:395,28['  ]| method of reform$0$ was not wonderful; and $MP#A$Fanny soon 
309:395,29['  ]| became 
309:395,29@a   | more disposed to$9$ admire the natural$2$ light$0$ of the 
309:395,30@a   | mind$0$ which$6#1$ could so$5#1$ early distinguish justly, than to$9$ 
309:395,31@a   | censure$1$ severely the faults of conduct$0$ to$4$ which$6#1$ it led. 
309:395,32@a   | $MP#V$Susan was only acting on$4$ the same truths, and pursuing 
309:395,33@a   | the same system, which$6#1$ her own$2$ judgment acknowledged, 
309:395,34@a   | but which$6#1$ her more supine and yielding temper would have 
309:395,35@a   | shrunk from asserting. $MP#V$Susan tried to$9$ be useful, where \she\ 
309:395,36@a   | could only have gone away and cried; and that$3$ $MP#V$Susan was 
309:395,37@a   | useful she could perceive; that$3$ things, bad as they were, 
309:395,38@a   | would have been worse but for$4$ such interposition, and that$3$ 
309:396,01@a   | both her mother and $MP#ZZC$Betsey were restrained from some 
309:396,02@a   | excesses of very offensive indulgence and vulgarity. 
309:396,03['  ]| In$4$ every argument with her mother, $MP#V$Susan had in$4$ point$0$ 
309:396,04['  ]| of reason$0$ the advantage, and never was there any maternal 
309:396,05['  ]| tenderness to$9$ buy her off. The blind$2$ fondness which$6#1$ was 
309:396,06['  ]| for*ever producing evil around$4$ her, \she\ had never known. 
309:396,07['  ]| There was no$2$ gratitude for$4$ affection past$2$ or present$2$, to$9$ 
309:396,08['  ]| make$1$ her better bear$1$ with its excesses to$4$ the others. 
309:396,09['  ]| All this became gradually evident, and gradually placed 
309:396,10['  ]| $MP#V$Susan before$4$ her sister as an object$0$ of mingled compassion 
309:396,11['  ]| and respect$0$. 
309:396,11@a   | That$3$ her manner was wrong, however, at 
309:396,12@a   | times very wrong ~~ her measures often ill-chosen and 
309:396,13@a   | ill-timed, and her looks$0$ and language very often indefensible, 
309:396,14@a   | $MP#A$Fanny could not cease to$9$ feel; but she began to$9$ hope$1$ 
309:396,15@a   | they might be rectified. $MP#V$Susan, she found, looked up$5$ to$4$ 
309:396,16@a   | her and wished for$4$ her good opinion; 
309:396,16['  ]| and new as any*thing 
309:396,17['  ]| like$4$ an office of authority was to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, new as it was 
309:396,18['  ]| to$9$ imagine herself capable of guiding or informing any*one, 
309:396,19['  ]| she did resolve$1$ to$9$ give occasional hints to$4$ $MP#V$Susan, and 
309:396,20['  ]| endeavour$1$ to$9$ exercise$1$ for$4$ her advantage the juster notions 
309:396,21['  ]| of what was due$2$ to$4$ every*body, and what would be wisest 
309:396,22['  ]| for$4$ herself, which$6#1$ her own$2$ more favoured education had 
309:396,23['  ]| fixed in$4$ her. 
309:396,24['  ]| Her influence$0$, or at least the consciousness and use$0$ of it, 
309:396,25['  ]| originated in$4$ an act$0$ of kindness by$4$ $MP#V$Susan, which$6#1$ after$4$ 
309:396,26['  ]| many hesitations of delicacy, she at last$0$ worked herself up$5$ 
309:396,27['  ]| to$4$. It had very early occurred to$4$ her, that$3$ a small sum 
309:396,28['  ]| of money might, perhaps, restore peace for*ever on$4$ the sore 
309:396,29['  ]| subject$0$ of the silver knife, canvassed as it now was continually, 
309:396,30['  ]| and the riches which$6#1$ she was in$4$ possession of herself, 
309:396,31['  ]| her uncle having given her 10L% at parting, made her as 
309:396,32['  ]| able as she was willing to$9$ be generous. But she was so$5#1$ 
309:396,33['  ]| wholly unused to$9$ confer favours, except on$4$ the very poor, 
309:396,34['  ]| so$5#1$ unpractised in$4$ removing evils, or bestowing kindnesses 
309:396,35['  ]| among her equals, and so$5#1$ fearful of appearing to$9$ elevate 
309:396,36['  ]| herself as a great lady at home, that$3$ it took some time to$9$ 
309:396,37['  ]| determine that$3$ it would not be unbecoming in$4$ her to$9$ make$1$ 
309:396,38['  ]| such a present$0#2$. It was made, however, at last$0$; a silver 
309:397,01['  ]| knife was bought for$4$ $MP#ZZC$Betsey, and accepted with great 
309:397,02['  ]| delight$0$, its newness giving it every advantage over the 
309:397,03['  ]| other that$6#1$ could be desired; $MP#V$Susan was established in$4$ the 
309:397,04['  ]| full possession of her own$2$, $MP#ZZC$Betsey handsomely declaring 
309:397,05['  ]| that$3$ 
309:397,05@v   | now she had got one so$5#1$ much prettier herself, she 
309:397,06@v   | should never want$1$ \that$6#2$\ again ~~ 
309:397,06['  ]| and no$2$ reproach$0$ seemed 
309:397,07['  ]| conveyed to$4$ the equally satisfied mother, which$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny had 
309:397,08['  ]| almost feared to$9$ be impossible. The deed thoroughly 
309:397,09['  ]| answered; a source of domestic$2$ altercation was entirely 
309:397,10['  ]| done away, and it was the means$0$ of opening $MP#V$Susan's heart 
309:397,11['  ]| to$4$ her, and giving her something more to$9$ love$1$ and be 
309:397,12['  ]| interested in$4$. $MP#V$Susan shewed that$3$ she had delicacy; 
309:397,13['  ]| pleased as she was to$9$ be mistress of property which$6#1$ she 
309:397,14['  ]| had been struggling for$4$ at least two years, she yet feared 
309:397,15['  ]| that$3$ her sister's judgment had been against her, and that$3$ a 
309:397,16['  ]| reproof was designed her for$4$ having so$5#2$ struggled as to$9$ make$1$ 
309:397,17['  ]| the purchase$0$ necessary for$4$ the tranquillity of the house. 
309:397,18['  ]| Her temper was open$1$. She acknowledged her fears, 
309:397,19['  ]| blamed herself for$4$ having contended so$5#1$ warmly, and from 
309:397,20['  ]| that$6#2$ hour $MP#A$Fanny understanding the worth of her disposition, 
309:397,21['  ]| and perceiving how fully she was inclined to$9$ seek her 
309:397,22['  ]| good opinion and refer to$4$ her judgment, began to$9$ feel again 
309:397,23['  ]| the blessing of affection, and to$9$ entertain the hope$0$ of being$1$ 
309:397,24['  ]| useful to$4$ a mind$0$ so$5#1$ much in$4$ need$0$ of help$0$, and so$5#1$ much 
309:397,25['  ]| deserving it. She gave advice; advice too$5#1$ sound$2$ to$9$ be 
309:397,26['  ]| resisted by$4$ a good understanding, and given so$5#1$ mildly and 
309:397,27['  ]| considerately as not to$9$ irritate an imperfect temper; and 
309:397,28['  ]| she had the happiness of observing its good effects not 
309:397,29['  ]| unfrequently; more was not expected by$4$ one, who$6#1$, while$4$ 
309:397,30['  ]| seeing all the obligation and expediency of submission and 
309:397,31['  ]| forbearance, saw also with sympathetic acuteness of feeling, 
309:397,32['  ]| all that$6#1$ must be hourly grating to$4$ a girl like$4$ $MP#V$Susan. Her 
309:397,33['  ]| greatest wonder$0$ on$4$ the subject$0$ soon became ~~ 
309:397,33@a   | not that$3$ 
309:397,34@a   | $MP#V$Susan should have been provoked into disrespect and 
309:397,35@a   | impatience against her better knowledge ~~ but that$3$ so$5#1$ 
309:397,36@a   | much better knowledge, so$5#1$ many good notions, should have 
309:397,37@a   | been hers at all; and that$3$, brought up$5$ in$4$ the midst of 
309:397,38@a   | negligence and error, she should have formed such proper 
309:398,01@a   | opinions of what ought to$9$ be ~~ she, who$6#1$ had no$2$ cousin 
309:398,02@a   | $MP#B$Edmund to$9$ direct$1$ her thoughts or fix her principles. 
309:398,03['  ]| The intimacy thus begun between them was a material$2$ 
309:398,04['  ]| advantage to$4$ each. By$4$ sitting together up*stairs, they 
309:398,05['  ]| avoided a great deal$0$ of the disturbance of the house; 
309:398,06['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had peace, and $MP#V$Susan learnt to$9$ think it no$2$ misfortune 
309:398,07['  ]| to$9$ be quietly employed. They sat without a fire$0$; but 
309:398,08['  ]| \that$6#2$\ was a privation familiar even$5$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and she 
309:398,09['  ]| suffered the less because reminded by$4$ it of the east-room. 
309:398,10['  ]| It was the only point$0$ of resemblance. In$4$ space, light$0$, 
309:398,11['  ]| furniture, and prospect, there was nothing alike in$4$ the two 
309:398,12['  ]| apartments; and she often heaved a sigh$0$ at the remembrance 
309:398,13['  ]| of all her books and boxes, and various comforts 
309:398,14['  ]| there. By$4$ degrees the girls came to$9$ spend the chief of the 
309:398,15['  ]| morning up*stairs, at first only in$4$ working and talking; 
309:398,16['  ]| but after$4$ a few days, the remembrance of the said books 
309:398,17['  ]| grew so$5#1$ potent and stimulative, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny found it 
309:398,18['  ]| impossible not to$9$ try for$4$ books again. There were none in$4$ 
309:398,19['  ]| her father's house; but wealth is luxurious and daring ~~ 
309:398,20['  ]| and some of hers found its way to$4$ a circulating library. 
309:398,21['  ]| She became a subscriber ~~ amazed at being$1$ any*thing \in*propria*persona\, 
309:398,22['  ]| amazed at her own$2$ doings in$4$ every way; 
309:398,23@a   | to$9$ be a renter, a chuser of books! And to$9$ be having any*one's 
309:398,24@a   | improvement in$4$ view$0$ in$4$ her choice$0$! But so$5#2$ it was.
309:398,25['  ]| $MP#V$Susan had read nothing, and $MP#A$Fanny longed to$9$ give her 
309:398,26['  ]| a share$0$ in$4$ her own$2$ first pleasures, and inspire a taste for$4$ 
309:398,27['  ]| the biography and poetry which$6#1$ she delighted in$4$ herself. 
309:398,28['  ]| In$4$ this occupation she hoped, moreover, to$9$ bury some of 
309:398,29['  ]| the recollections of Mansfield which$6#1$ were too$5#1$ apt to$9$ seize 
309:398,30['  ]| her mind$0$ if her fingers only were busy; and especially at 
309:398,31['  ]| this time, hoped it might be useful in$4$ diverting her thoughts 
309:398,32['  ]| from pursuing $MP#B$Edmund to$4$ London, whither, on$4$ the 
309:398,33['  ]| authority of her aunt's last$2$ letter, she knew he was gone. 
309:398,34['  ]| She had no$2$ doubt$0$ of what would ensue. The promised 
309:398,35['  ]| notification was hanging over her head$0$. The postman's 
309:398,36['  ]| knock$0$ within the neighbourhood was beginning to$9$ bring its 
309:398,37['  ]| daily terrors ~~ and if reading could banish the idea for$4$ even$5$ 
309:398,38['  ]| half an hour, it was something gained. 
310:399,01['  ]| A week was gone since $MP#B$Edmund might be supposed in$4$ 
310:399,02['  ]| town, and $MP#A$Fanny had heard nothing of him. There were 
310:399,03['  ]| three different conclusions to$9$ be drawn from his silence$0$, 
310:399,04['  ]| between which$6#1$ her mind$0$ was in$4$ fluctuation; each of them 
310:399,05['  ]| at times being$1$ held the most probable. 
310:399,05@a   | Either his going 
310:399,06@a   | had been again delayed, or he had yet procured no$2$ opportunity 
310:399,07@a   | of seeing $MP#C$Miss*Crawford alone ~~ or, he was too$5#1$ happy 
310:399,08@a   | for$4$ letter writing! 
310:399,09['  ]| One morning about$4$ this time, $MP#A$Fanny having now been 
310:399,10['  ]| nearly four weeks from Mansfield ~~ a point$0$ which$6#1$ she never 
310:399,11['  ]| failed to$9$ think over and calculate every day ~~ as she and 
310:399,12['  ]| $MP#V$Susan were preparing to$9$ remove$1$ as usual up*stairs, they 
310:399,13['  ]| were stopt by$4$ the knock$0$ of a visitor, whom$6#1$ they felt they 
310:399,14['  ]| could not avoid, from $MP#V$Rebecca's alertness in$4$ going to$4$ the 
310:399,15['  ]| door, a duty which$6#1$ always interested her beyond$4$ any other. 
310:399,16['  ]| It was a gentleman's voice; it was a voice that$6#1$ $MP#A$Fanny 
310:399,17['  ]| was just$5$ turning pale about$4$, when $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford walked 
310:399,18['  ]| into the room. 
310:399,19['  ]| Good sense, like$4$ hers, will$1$ always act$1$ when really called 
310:399,20['  ]| upon$5$; and she found that$3$ she had been able to$9$ name$1$ him 
310:399,21['  ]| to$4$ her mother, and recal$1$ her remembrance of the name$0$, 
310:399,22['  ]| as that$6#2$ of 
310:399,22[A  ]| "$MP#Q$William's friend" 
310:399,22['  ]| though she could not previously 
310:399,23['  ]| have believed herself capable of uttering a syllable 
310:399,24['  ]| at such a moment. The consciousness of his being$1$ known 
310:399,25['  ]| there only as $MP#Q$William's friend, was some support$0$. Having 
310:399,26['  ]| introduced him, however, and being$1$ all re-seated, the 
310:399,27['  ]| terrors that$6#1$ occurred of what this visit$0$ might lead$1$ to$4$, 
310:399,28['  ]| were overpowering, and she fancied herself on$4$ the point$0$ 
310:399,29['  ]| of fainting away. 
310:399,30['  ]| While$4$ trying$1$ to$9$ keep herself alive, their visitor, who$6#1$ 
310:399,31['  ]| had at first approached her with as animated a countenance 
310:399,32['  ]| as ever, was wisely and kindly keeping his eyes away, 
310:399,33['  ]| and giving her time to$9$ recover, while$3$ he devoted himself 
310:400,01['  ]| entirely to$4$ her mother, addressing her, and attending to$4$ 
310:400,02['  ]| her with the utmost politeness and propriety, at the same 
310:400,03['  ]| time with a degree of friendliness ~~ of interest$0$ at least ~~ 
310:400,04['  ]| which$6#1$ was making his manner perfect$2$. 
310:400,05['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price's manners were also at their best. Warmed 
310:400,06['  ]| by$4$ the sight of such a friend to$4$ her son, and regulated by$4$ 
310:400,07['  ]| the wish$0$ of appearing to$4$ advantage before$4$ him, she was 
310:400,08['  ]| overflowing with gratitude, artless, maternal gratitude, 
310:400,09['  ]| which$6#1$ could not be unpleasing. 
310:400,09@p   | $MP#O$Mr%*Price was out$5$, which$6#1$ 
310:400,10@p   | she regretted very much. 
310:400,10['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was just$5$ recovered 
310:400,11['  ]| enough to$9$ feel that$3$ 
310:400,11@a   | \she\ could not regret$1$ it; for$3$ to$4$ her many 
310:400,12@a   | other sources of uneasiness was added the severe one of 
310:400,13@a   | shame$0$ for$4$ the home in$4$ which$6#1$ he found her. She might 
310:400,14@a   | scold herself for$4$ the weakness, but there was no$2$ scolding 
310:400,15@a   | it away. She was ashamed, and she would have been yet 
310:400,16@a   | more ashamed of her father, than of all the rest$0#1$. 
310:400,17['  ]| They talked of $MP#Q$William, a subject$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ $MP#P$Mrs%*Price 
310:400,18['  ]| could never tire; and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was as warm$2$ in$4$ his 
310:400,19['  ]| commendation, as even$5$ her heart could wish$1$. She felt 
310:400,20['  ]| that$3$ 
310:400,20@p   | she had never seen so$5#1$ agreeable a man in$4$ her life; 
310:400,21@p   | and was only astonished to$9$ find, that$3$ so$5#1$ great and so$5#1$ agreeable 
310:400,22@p   | as he was, he should be come down$5$ to$4$ Portsmouth 
310:400,23@p   | neither on$4$ a visit$0$ to$4$ the port-admiral, nor the commissioner, 
310:400,24@p   | nor yet with the intention of going over to$4$ the 
310:400,25@p   | island, nor of seeing the Dock-yard. 
310:400,25['  ]| Nothing of all that$6#1$ 
310:400,26['  ]| she had been used to$9$ think of as the proof of importance, 
310:400,27['  ]| or the employment of wealth, had brought him to$4$ Portsmouth. 
310:400,28@d   | He had reached it late the night before$5$, was come 
310:400,29@d   | for$4$ a day or two, was staying at the Crown$0#1$, had accidentally 
310:400,30@d   | met with a navy officer or two of his acquaintance, 
310:400,31@d   | since his arrival, but had no$2$ object$0$ of that$6#2$ kind$0$ in$4$ coming. 
310:400,32['  ]| By$4$ the time he had given all this information, it was 
310:400,33['  ]| not unreasonable to$9$ suppose, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny might be looked 
310:400,34['  ]| at and spoken to$5$; and she was tolerably able to$9$ bear$1$ his 
310:400,35['  ]| eye, and hear that$3$ 
310:400,35@d   | he had spent half an hour with his sister, 
310:400,36@d   | the evening before$4$ his leaving London; that$3$ she had sent 
310:400,37@d   | her best and kindest love$0$, but had had no$2$ time for$4$ writing; 
310:400,38@d   | that$3$ he thought$1$ himself lucky in$4$ seeing $MP#C$Mary for$4$ even$5$ 
310:401,01@d   | half an hour, having spent scarcely twenty-four hours in$4$ 
310:401,02@d   | London after$4$ his return$0$ from Norfolk, before$3$ he set$1$ off 
310:401,03@d   | again; that$3$ her cousin $MP#B$Edmund was in$4$ town, had been 
310:401,04@d   | in$4$ town he understood, a few days; that$3$ he had not seen 
310:401,05@d   | him, himself, but that$3$ he was well$5$, had left them all well$5$ 
310:401,06@d   | at Mansfield, and was to$9$ dine, as yesterday, with the 
310:401,07@d   | $MP#ZH$Frasers. 
310:401,08['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny listened collectedly even$5$ to$4$ the last-mentioned 
310:401,09['  ]| circumstance; nay, it seemed a relief to$4$ her worn mind$0$ 
310:401,10['  ]| to$9$ be at any certainty; and the words, 
310:401,10[D  ]| "then by$4$ this time 
310:401,11[D  ]| it is all settled," 
310:401,11['  ]| passed internally, without more evidence 
310:401,12['  ]| of emotion than a faint$2$ blush$0$. 
310:401,13['  ]| After$4$ talking a little more about$4$ Mansfield, a subject$0$ in$4$ 
310:401,14['  ]| which$6#1$ her interest$0$ was most apparent, $MP#D$Crawford began to$9$ 
310:401,15['  ]| hint$1$ at the expediency of an early walk$0$; ~~ 
310:401,15[D  ]| "It was a 
310:401,16[D  ]| lovely morning, and at that$6#2$ season of the year a fine morning 
310:401,17[D  ]| so$5#1$ often turned off, that$3$ it was wisest for$4$ everybody 
310:401,18[D  ]| not to$9$ delay$1$ their exercise$0$;" 
310:401,18['  ]| and such hints producing 
310:401,19['  ]| nothing, he soon proceeded to$4$ a positive recommendation 
310:401,20['  ]| to$4$ $MP#P$Mrs%*Price and her daughters, to$9$ take their walk$0$ without 
310:401,21['  ]| loss of time. Now they came to$4$ an understanding. $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, 
310:401,22['  ]| it appeared, scarcely ever stirred out$5$ of doors, except 
310:401,23['  ]| of a Sunday; she owned she could seldom, with her large 
310:401,24['  ]| family, find time for$4$ a walk$0$. ~~ 
310:401,24[D  ]| "Would she not then persuade 
310:401,25[D  ]| her daughters to$9$ take advantage of such weather, 
310:401,26[D  ]| and allow him the pleasure of attending them?" ~~ 
310:401,26['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price 
310:401,27['  ]| was greatly obliged, and very complying. ~~ 
310:401,27[P  ]| "Her 
310:401,28[P  ]| daughters were very much confined ~~ Portsmouth was 
310:401,29[P  ]| a sad place$0$ ~~ they did not often get out$5$ ~~ and she knew 
310:401,30[P  ]| they had some errands in$4$ the town, which$6#1$ they would be 
310:401,31[P  ]| very glad to$9$ do." ~~ 
310:401,31['  ]| And the consequence was, that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
310:401,32@a   | strange as it was ~~ strange, awkward, and distressing ~~ 
310:401,33@a   | found herself and $MP#V$Susan, within ten minutes, walking 
310:401,34@a   | towards the High*Street, with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
310:401,35@a   | It was soon pain$0$ upon$4$ pain$0$, confusion upon$4$ confusion; 
310:401,36@a   | for$3$ they were hardly in$4$ the High*Street, before$3$ they met 
310:401,37@a   | her father, whose$6#1$ appearance was not the better from its 
310:401,38@a   | being$1$ Saturday. 
310:401,38['  ]| He stopt; and, ungentlemanlike as he 
310:402,01['  ]| looked, $MP#A$Fanny was obliged to$9$ introduce him to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
310:402,02@a   | She could not have a doubt$0$ of the manner in$4$ which$6#1$ 
310:402,03@a   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford must be struck. He must be ashamed and 
310:402,04@a   | disgusted altogether. He must soon give her up$5$, and 
310:402,05@a   | cease to$9$ have the smallest inclination for$4$ the match$0$; 
310:402,05['  ]| and 
310:402,06['  ]| yet, though she had been so$5#1$ much wanting his affection 
310:402,07['  ]| to$9$ be cured, this was a sort of cure$0$ that$6#1$ would be almost 
310:402,08['  ]| as bad as the complaint; and I believe, there is scarcely 
310:402,09['  ]| a young lady in$4$ the united kingdoms, who$6#1$ would not 
310:402,10['  ]| rather put up$5$ with the misfortune of being$1$ sought by$4$ a 
310:402,11['  ]| clever, agreeable man, than have him driven away by$4$ the 
310:402,12['  ]| vulgarity of her nearest relations. 
310:402,13['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford probably could not regard$1$ his future 
310:402,14['  ]| father-in-law with any idea of taking him for$4$ a model in$4$ 
310:402,15['  ]| dress$0$; but (as $MP#A$Fanny instantly, and to$4$ her great relief 
310:402,16['  ]| discerned), 
310:402,16@a   | her father was a very different man, a very 
310:402,17@a   | different $MP#O$Mr%*Price in$4$ his behaviour to$4$ this most 
310:402,17@a   | highly-respected 
310:402,18@a   | stranger$0$, from what he was in$4$ his own$2$ family 
310:402,19@a   | at home. His manners now, though not polished, were 
310:402,20@a   | more than passable; they were grateful, animated, manly; 
310:402,21@a   | his expressions were those of an attached father, and a 
310:402,22@a   | sensible$2#2$ man; ~~ his loud tones did very well$5$ in$4$ the open$2$ 
310:402,23@a   | air, and there was not a single oath to$9$ be heard. 
310:402,23['  ]| Such 
310:402,24['  ]| was his instinctive compliment$0$ to$4$ the good manners of 
310:402,25['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford; and be the consequence what it might, 
310:402,26['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's immediate feelings were infinitely soothed. 
310:402,27['  ]| The conclusion of the two gentlemen's civilities was an 
310:402,28['  ]| offer$0$ of $MP#O$Mr%*Price's to$9$ take $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford into the dock-yard, 
310:402,29['  ]| which$6#1$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, desirous of accepting as a 
310:402,30['  ]| favour$0$, what was intended as such, though he had seen 
310:402,31['  ]| the dock-yard again and again; and hoping to$9$ be so$5#1$ much 
310:402,32['  ]| the longer with $MP#A$Fanny, 
310:402,32@d   | was very gratefully disposed to$9$ 
310:402,33@d   | avail himself of, if the $MP#A1$Miss*Prices were not afraid of the 
310:402,34@d   | fatigue$0$; 
310:402,34['  ]| and as it was somehow or other ascertained, or 
310:402,35['  ]| inferred, or at least acted upon$5$, that$3$ they were not at 
310:402,36['  ]| all afraid, to$4$ the dock-yard they were all to$9$ go; and, 
310:402,37['  ]| but for$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, $MP#O$Mr%*Price would have turned 
310:402,38['  ]| thither directly, without the smallest consideration for$4$ his 
310:403,01['  ]| daughters' errands in$4$ the High*Street. He took care$0$, 
310:403,02['  ]| however, that$3$ they should be allowed to$9$ go to$4$ the shops 
310:403,03['  ]| they came out$5$ expressly to$9$ visit$1$; and it did not delay$1$ 
310:403,04['  ]| them long, for$3$ $MP#A$Fanny could so$5#1$ little bear$1$ to$9$ excite 
310:403,04['  ]| impatience, 
310:403,05['  ]| or be waited for$5$, that$3$ before$4$ the gentlemen, as 
310:403,06['  ]| they stood at the door, could do more than begin upon$4$ 
310:403,07['  ]| the last$2$ naval regulations, or settle the number of three*deckers 
310:403,08['  ]| now in$4$ commission, their companions were ready 
310:403,09['  ]| to$9$ proceed. 
310:403,10['  ]| They were then to$9$ set$1$ forward$5$ for$4$ the dock-yard at once, 
310:403,11['  ]| and the walk$0$ would have been conducted (according to$4$ 
310:403,12['  ]| $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's opinion) 
310:403,12@d   | in$4$ a singular manner, had $MP#O$Mr%*Price 
310:403,13@d   | been allowed the entire regulation of it, as the two 
310:403,14@d   | girls, he found, would have been left to$9$ follow, and keep 
310:403,15@d   | up$5$ with them, or not, as they could, while$3$ they walked on$5$ 
310:403,16@d   | together at their own$2$ hasty pace$0$. 
310:403,16['  ]| He was able to$9$ introduce 
310:403,17['  ]| some improvement occasionally, though by$4$ no$2$ means$0$ 
310:403,18['  ]| to$4$ the extent he wished; he absolutely would not walk$1$ 
310:403,19['  ]| away from them; and, at any crossing, or any crowd, 
310:403,20['  ]| when $MP#O$Mr%*Price was only calling out$5$, 
310:403,20[O  ]| "Come girls ~~ come, 
310:403,21[O  ]| $MP#A$Fan ~~ come, $MP#V$Sue ~~ take care$0$ of yourselves ~~ keep a sharp 
310:403,22[O  ]| look$0$ out$5$," 
310:403,22['  ]| he would give them his particular attendance. 
310:403,23['  ]| 
310:403,24['  ]| Once fairly in$4$ the dock-yard, he began to$9$ reckon upon$4$ 
310:403,25['  ]| some happy intercourse with $MP#A$Fanny, as they were very 
310:403,26['  ]| soon joined by$4$ a brother lounger of $MP#O$Mr%*Price's, who$6#1$ was 
310:403,27['  ]| come to$9$ take his daily survey of how things went on$5$, and 
310:403,28['  ]| who$6#1$ must prove a far more worthy companion than himself; 
310:403,29['  ]| and after$4$ a time the two officers seemed very well$5$ 
310:403,30['  ]| satisfied in$4$ going about$5$ together and discussing matters 
310:403,31['  ]| of equal$2$ and never-failing interest$0$, while$3$ the young people 
310:403,32['  ]| sat down$5$ upon$4$ some timbers in$4$ the yard, or found a seat 
310:403,33['  ]| on$4$ board a vessel in$4$ the stocks which$6#1$ they all went to$9$ look$1$ 
310:403,34['  ]| at. $MP#A$Fanny was most conveniently in$4$ want$0$ of rest$0#2$. $MP#D$Crawford 
310:403,35@d   | could not have wished her more fatigued or more 
310:403,36@d   | ready to$9$ sit down$5$; but he could have wished her sister 
310:403,37@d   | away. A quick$2$ looking girl of $MP#V$Susan's age was the very 
310:403,38@d   | worst third in$4$ the world ~~ totally different from $MP#F$Lady*Bertram ~~ 
310:404,01@d   | all eyes and ears; and there was no$2$ introducing 
310:404,02@d   | the main$2$ point$0$ before$4$ her. He must content himself with 
310:404,03@d   | being$1$ only generally agreeable, and letting $MP#V$Susan have 
310:404,04@d   | her share$0$ of entertainment, with the indulgence, now and 
310:404,05@d   | then, of a look$0$ or hint$0$ for$4$ the better informed and conscious 
310:404,06@d   | $MP#A$Fanny. 
310:404,06['  ]| Norfolk was what he had mostly to$9$ talk$1$ 
310:404,07['  ]| of; there he had been some time, and every*thing there 
310:404,08['  ]| was rising in$4$ importance from his present$2$ schemes. Such 
310:404,09['  ]| a man could come from no$2$ place$0$, no$2$ society, without 
310:404,10['  ]| importing something to$9$ amuse; his journeys and his 
310:404,11['  ]| acquaintance were all of use$0$, and $MP#V$Susan was entertained 
310:404,12['  ]| in$4$ a way quite new to$4$ her. For$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, somewhat more 
310:404,13['  ]| was related than the accidental agreeableness of the 
310:404,14['  ]| parties he had been in$4$. For$4$ her approbation, 
310:404,14@d   | the particular 
310:404,15@d   | reason$0$ of his going into Norfolk at all, at this 
310:404,16@d   | unusual time of year, was given. It had been real business, 
310:404,17@d   | relative to$4$ the renewal of a lease in$4$ which$6#1$ the welfare 
310:404,18@d   | of a large and 
310:404,18['  ]| (he believed) 
310:404,18@d   | industrious family was at stake$0$. 
310:404,19@d   | He had suspected his agent of some underhand dealing ~~ 
310:404,20@d   | of meaning to$9$ bias$1$ him against the deserving ~~ and he had 
310:404,21@d   | determined to$9$ go himself, and thoroughly investigate the 
310:404,22@d   | merits of the case. He had gone, had done even$5$ more 
310:404,23@d   | good than he had foreseen, had been useful to$4$ more than 
310:404,24@d   | his first plan had comprehended, and was now able to$9$ 
310:404,25@d   | congratulate himself upon$4$ it, and to$9$ feel, that$3$ in$4$ performing 
310:404,26@d   | a duty, he had secured agreeable recollections for$4$ his 
310:404,27@d   | own$2$ mind$0$. He had introduced himself to$4$ some tenants, 
310:404,28@d   | whom$6#1$ he had never seen before$5$; he had begun making 
310:404,29@d   | acquaintance with cottages whose$6#1$ very existence, though 
310:404,30@d   | on$4$ his own$2$ estate, had been hitherto unknown to$4$ him. 
310:404,31['  ]| This was aimed, and well$5$ aimed, at $MP#A$Fanny. 
310:404,31@a   | It was pleasing 
310:404,32@a   | to$9$ hear him speak so$5#1$ properly; here, he had been acting 
310:404,33@a   | as he ought to$9$ do. To$9$ be the friend of the poor and 
310:404,34@a   | oppressed! 
310:404,34['  ]| Nothing could be more grateful to$4$ her, and 
310:404,35['  ]| she was on$4$ the point$0$ of giving him an approving look$0$ when 
310:404,36['  ]| it was all frightened off, by$4$ his adding a something too$5#1$ 
310:404,37['  ]| pointed 
310:404,37@d   | of his hoping soon to$9$ have an assistant, a friend, 
310:404,38@d   | a guide$0$ in$4$ every plan of utility or charity for$4$ Everingham, 
310:405,01@d   | a somebody that$6#1$ would make$1$ Everingham and all about$4$ 
310:405,02@d   | it, a dearer object$0$ than it had ever been yet. 
310:405,03['  ]| She turned away, and wished he would not say such 
310:405,04['  ]| things. 
310:405,04@a   | She was willing to$9$ allow he might have more 
310:405,05@a   | good qualities than she had been wont to$9$ suppose. She 
310:405,06@a   | began to$9$ feel the possibility of his turning out$5$ well$5$ at last$0$; 
310:405,07@a   | but he was and must ever be completely unsuited to$9$ her, 
310:405,08@a   | and ought not to$9$ think of her. 
310:405,09['  ]| He perceived that$3$ enough had been said of Everingham, 
310:405,10['  ]| and that$3$ it would be as well$5$ to$9$ talk$1$ of something else, and 
310:405,11['  ]| turned to$4$ Mansfield. He could not have chosen better; 
310:405,12['  ]| that$6#2$ was a topic to$9$ bring back$5$ her attention and her looks$0$ 
310:405,13['  ]| almost instantly. It was a real indulgence to$4$ her to$9$ hear 
310:405,14['  ]| or to$9$ speak of Mansfield. Now so$5#1$ long divided from every*body 
310:405,15['  ]| who$6#1$ knew the place$0$, she felt it quite the voice of 
310:405,16['  ]| a friend when he mentioned it, and led the way to$4$ her fond 
310:405,17['  ]| exclamations in$4$ praise$0$ of its beauties and comforts, and 
310:405,18['  ]| by$4$ his honourable tribute to$4$ its inhabitants allowed her 
310:405,19['  ]| to$9$ gratify her own$2$ heart in$4$ the warmest eulogium, in$4$ 
310:405,20['  ]| speaking of her uncle as all that$6#1$ was clever and good, and 
310:405,21['  ]| her aunt as having the sweetest of all sweet tempers. 
310:405,22@d   | He had a great attachment to$4$ Mansfield himself; 
310:405,22['  ]| he 
310:405,23['  ]| said so$5#2$; 
310:405,23@d   | he looked forward$5$ with the hope$0$ of spending 
310:405,24@d   | much, very much of his time there ~~ always there, or in$4$ 
310:405,25@d   | the neighbourhood. He particularly built upon$4$ a very 
310:405,26@d   | happy summer and autumn there this year; he felt that$3$ 
310:405,27@d   | it would be so$5#2$; he depended upon$4$ it; a summer and 
310:405,28@d   | autumn infinitely superior to$4$ the last$0$. As animated, as 
310:405,29@d   | diversified, as social ~~ but with circumstances of superiority 
310:405,30@d   | undescribable. 
310:405,31[D  ]| "Mansfield, Sotherton, Thornton*Lacey," 
310:405,31['  ]| he continued, 
310:405,32[D  ]| "what a society will$1$ be comprised in$4$ those houses! And 
310:405,33[D  ]| at Michaelmas, perhaps, a fourth may$1$ be added, some 
310:405,34[D  ]| small hunting-box in$4$ the vicinity of every*thing so$5#1$ dear$2#1$ 
310:405,35[D  ]| ~~ for$3$ as to$4$ any partnership in$4$ Thornton*Lacey, as 
310:405,35[D  ]| $MP#B$Edmund*Bertram 
310:405,36[D  ]| once good-humouredly proposed, I hope$1$ I foresee 
310:405,37[D  ]| two objections, two fair, excellent, irresistible objections 
310:405,38[D  ]| to$4$ that$6#2$ plan." 
310:406,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was doubly silenced here; though when the 
310:406,02['  ]| moment was passed, 
310:406,02@a   | could regret$1$ that$3$ she had not forced 
310:406,03@a   | herself into the acknowledged comprehension of one half 
310:406,04@a   | of his meaning, and encouraged him to$9$ say something 
310:406,05@a   | more of his sister and $MP#B$Edmund. It was a subject$0$ which$6#1$ 
310:406,06@a   | she must learn to$9$ speak of, and the weakness that$6#1$ shrunk 
310:406,07@a   | from it would soon be quite unpardonable. 
310:406,08['  ]| When $MP#O$Mr%*Price and his friend had seen all that$6#1$ they 
310:406,09['  ]| wished, or had time for$4$, the others were ready to$9$ return$1$; 
310:406,10['  ]| and in$4$ the course$0$ of their walk$0$ back$5$, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford contrived 
310:406,11['  ]| a minute's privacy for$4$ telling $MP#A$Fanny that$3$ 
310:406,11@d   | his only 
310:406,12@d   | business in$4$ Portsmouth was to$9$ see her, that$3$ he was come 
310:406,13@d   | down$5$ for$4$ a couple of days on$4$ her account$0$ and hers only, 
310:406,14@d   | and because he could not endure a longer total separation. 
310:406,15@a   | She was sorry, really sorry; and yet, in$4$ spite$8$ of this and 
310:406,16@a   | the two or three other things which$6#1$ she wished he had not 
310:406,17@a   | said, she thought$1$ him altogether improved since she had 
310:406,18@a   | seen him; he was much more gentle, obliging, and attentive 
310:406,19@a   | to$4$ other people's feelings than he had ever been at 
310:406,20@a   | Mansfield; she had never seen him so$5#1$ agreeable ~~ so$5#1$ \near$5$\ 
310:406,21@a   | being$1$ agreeable; his behaviour to$4$ her father could not 
310:406,22@a   | offend, and there was something particularly kind$2$ and 
310:406,23@a   | proper in$4$ the notice$0$ he took of $MP#V$Susan. He was decidedly 
310:406,24@a   | improved. She wished the next day over, she wished 
310:406,25@a   | he had come only for$4$ one day ~~ but it was not so$5#1$ very bad 
310:406,26@a   | as she would have expected; the pleasure of talking of 
310:406,27@a   | Mansfield was so$5#1$ very great! 
310:406,28['  ]| Before$3$ they parted, she had to$9$ thank him for$4$ another 
310:406,29['  ]| pleasure, and one of no$2$ trivial kind$0$. Her father asked 
310:406,30['  ]| him to$9$ do them the honour$0$ of taking his mutton with 
310:406,31['  ]| them, and $MP#A$Fanny had time for$4$ only one thrill of horror, 
310:406,32['  ]| before$3$ he declared himself prevented by$4$ a prior engagement. 
310:406,33@d   | He was engaged to$4$ dinner already both for$4$ that$6#2$ 
310:406,34@d   | day and the next; he had met with some acquaintance 
310:406,35@d   | at the Crown$0#1$ who$6#1$ would not be denied; he should have 
310:406,36@d   | the honour$0$, however, of waiting on$4$ them again on$4$ the 
310:406,37@d   | morrow, 
310:406,37['  ]| &c% and so$5#2$ they parted ~~ $MP#A$Fanny in$4$ a state$0$ of 
310:406,38['  ]| actual felicity from escaping so$5#1$ horrible an evil! 
310:407,01@a   | To$9$ have had him join their family dinner-party and see 
310:407,02@a   | all their deficiencies would have been dreadful! $MP#V$Rebecca's 
310:407,03@a   | cookery and $MP#V$Rebecca's waiting, and $MP#ZZC$Betsey's eating at 
310:407,04@a   | table without restraint, and pulling every*thing about$5$ as 
310:407,05@a   | she chose, 
310:407,05['  ]| were what $MP#A$Fanny herself was not yet enough 
310:407,06['  ]| inured to$4$, for$4$ her often to$9$ make$1$ a tolerable meal. \She\ 
310:407,07['  ]| was nice only from natural$2$ delicacy, but \he\ had been 
310:407,08['  ]| brought up$5$ in$4$ a school of luxury and epicurism. 
311:408,01['  ]| The $MP#O$Prices were just$5$ setting off for$4$ church the next day 
311:408,02['  ]| when $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford appeared again. He came ~~ not to$9$ 
311:408,03['  ]| stop$1$ ~~ but to$9$ join them; he was asked to$9$ go with them 
311:408,04['  ]| to$4$ the Garrison*chapel, which$6#1$ was exactly what he had 
311:408,05['  ]| intended, and they all walked thither together. 
311:408,06['  ]| The family were now seen to$4$ advantage. Nature had 
311:408,07['  ]| given them no$2$ inconsiderable share$0$ of beauty, and every 
311:408,08['  ]| Sunday dressed them in$4$ their cleanest skins and best attire. 
311:408,09['  ]| Sunday always brought this comfort$0$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and on$4$ this 
311:408,10['  ]| Sunday she felt it more than ever. 
311:408,10@a   | Her poor mother now 
311:408,11@a   | did not look$1$ so$5#1$ very unworthy of being$1$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's 
311:408,12@a   | sister as she was but too$5#1$ apt to$9$ look$1$. It often grieved 
311:408,13@a   | her to$4$ the heart ~~ to$9$ think of the contrast between them 
311:408,14@a   | ~~ to$9$ think that$3$ where nature had made so$5#1$ little difference, 
311:408,15@a   | circumstances should have made so$5#1$ much, and that$3$ her 
311:408,16@a   | mother, as handsome as $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, and some years 
311:408,17@a   | her junior, should have an appearance so$5#1$ much more worn 
311:408,18@a   | and faded, so$5#1$ comfortless, so$5#1$ slatternly, so$5#1$ shabby. 
311:408,18['  ]| But 
311:408,19['  ]| Sunday made her a very creditable and tolerably cheerful*looking 
311:408,20['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, coming abroad with a fine family of 
311:408,21['  ]| children, feeling a little respite of her weekly cares$0$, and 
311:408,22['  ]| only discomposed if she saw her boys run$1$ into danger, or 
311:408,23['  ]| $MP#V$Rebecca pass$1$ by$5$ with a flower in$4$ her hat. 
311:408,24['  ]| In$4$ chapel they were obliged to$9$ divide, but $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
311:408,25['  ]| took care$0$ not to$9$ be divided from the female$2$ branch; and 
311:408,26['  ]| after$4$ chapel he still$5$ continued with them, and made one 
311:408,27['  ]| in$4$ the family party on$4$ the ramparts. 
311:408,28['  ]| $MP#P$Mrs%*Price took her weekly walk$0$ on$4$ the ramparts every 
311:408,29['  ]| fine Sunday throughout the year, always going directly 
311:408,30['  ]| after$4$ morning service and staying till dinner-time. It 
311:408,31['  ]| was her public$2$ place$0$; there she met her acquaintance, 
311:408,32['  ]| heard a little news, talked over the badness of the Portsmouth 
311:408,33['  ]| servants, and wound$1#1$ up$5$ her spirits for$4$ the six days 
311:408,34['  ]| ensuing. 
311:409,01['  ]| Thither they now went; $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford most happy to$9$ 
311:409,02['  ]| consider the $MP#A1$Miss*Prices as his peculiar charge$0$; and 
311:409,03['  ]| before$3$ they had been there long ~~ somehow or other ~~ 
311:409,04['  ]| there was no$2$ saying how ~~ $MP#A$Fanny could not have believed 
311:409,05['  ]| it ~~ but he was walking between them with an arm$0$ of each 
311:409,06['  ]| under his, and she did not know how to$9$ prevent or put an 
311:409,07['  ]| end$0$ to$4$ it. It made her uncomfortable for$4$ a time ~~ but 
311:409,08['  ]| yet there were enjoyments in$4$ the day and in$4$ the view$0$ 
311:409,09['  ]| which$6#1$ would be felt. 
311:409,10['  ]| The day was uncommonly lovely. It was really March; 
311:409,11['  ]| but it was April in$4$ its mild air, brisk soft wind, and bright 
311:409,12['  ]| sun, occasionally clouded for$4$ a minute$0$; and every*thing 
311:409,13['  ]| looked so$5#1$ beautiful under the influence$0$ of such a sky, the 
311:409,14['  ]| effects of the shadows pursuing each other, on$4$ the ships 
311:409,15['  ]| at Spithead and the island beyond$5$, with the ever-varying 
311:409,16['  ]| hues of the sea now at high water, dancing in$4$ its glee and 
311:409,17['  ]| dashing against the ramparts with so$5#1$ fine a sound$0$, produced 
311:409,18['  ]| altogether such a combination of charms for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
311:409,19['  ]| as made her gradually almost careless of the circumstances 
311:409,20['  ]| under which$6#1$ she felt them. Nay, had she been without 
311:409,21['  ]| his arm$0$, she would soon have known that$3$ she needed it, 
311:409,22['  ]| for$3$ she wanted strength for$4$ a two hours' saunter of this 
311:409,23['  ]| kind$0$, coming as it generally did upon$4$ a week's previous 
311:409,24['  ]| inactivity. $MP#A$Fanny was beginning to$9$ feel the effect$0$ of 
311:409,25['  ]| being$1$ debarred from her usual, regular exercise$0$; she had 
311:409,26['  ]| lost ground as to$4$ health since her being$1$ in$4$ Portsmouth, 
311:409,27['  ]| and but for$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford and the beauty of the weather, 
311:409,28['  ]| would soon have been knocked up$5$ now. 
311:409,29['  ]| The loveliness of the day, and of the view$0$, he felt like$4$ 
311:409,30['  ]| herself. They often stopt with the same sentiment and 
311:409,31['  ]| taste, leaning against the wall, some minutes, to$9$ look$1$ and 
311:409,32['  ]| admire; and considering he was not $MP#B$Edmund, $MP#A$Fanny 
311:409,33['  ]| could not but allow that$3$ he was sufficiently open$2$ to$4$ the 
311:409,34['  ]| charms of nature, and very well$5$ able to$9$ express$1$ his admiration. 
311:409,35['  ]| She had a few tender$2$ reveries now and then, which$6#1$ 
311:409,36['  ]| he could sometimes take advantage of, to$9$ look$1$ in$4$ her 
311:409,37['  ]| face$0$ without detection; and the result$0$ of these looks$0$ was, 
311:409,38@d   | that$3$ though as bewitching as ever, her face$0$ was less blooming 
311:410,01@d   | than it ought to$9$ be. ~~ She \said\ she was very well$5$, and 
311:410,02@d   | did not like$1$ to$9$ be supposed otherwise; but take it all in$4$ 
311:410,03@d   | all, he was convinced that$3$ her present$2$ residence could not 
311:410,04@d   | be comfortable, and, therefore, could not be salutary for$4$ 
311:410,05@d   | her, and he was growing anxious for$4$ her being$1$ again at 
311:410,06@d   | Mansfield, where her own$2$ happiness, and his in$4$ seeing her, 
311:410,07@d   | must be so$5#1$ much greater. 
311:410,08[D  ]| "You have been here a month, I think?" 
311:410,08['  ]| said he. 
311:410,09[A  ]| "No$7$. Not quite a month. ~~ It is only four weeks tomorrow 
311:410,10[A  ]| since I left Mansfield." 
311:410,11[D  ]| "You are a most accurate and honest reckoner. I 
311:410,12[D  ]| should call$1$ that$6#2$ a month." 
311:410,13[A  ]| "I did not arrive here till Tuesday evening." 
311:410,14[D  ]| "And it is to$9$ be a two months' visit$0$, is not it?" 
311:410,15[A  ]| "Yes. ~~ My uncle talked of two months. I suppose it 
311:410,16[A  ]| will$1$ not be less." 
311:410,17[D  ]| "And how are you to$9$ be conveyed back$5$ again? Who$6#2$ 
311:410,18[D  ]| comes for$4$ you?" 
311:410,19[A  ]| "I do not know. I have heard nothing about$4$ it yet 
311:410,20[A  ]| from my aunt. Perhaps I may$1$ be to$9$ stay$1$ longer. It may$1$ 
311:410,21[A  ]| not be convenient for$4$ me to$9$ be fetched exactly at the two 
311:410,22[A  ]| months' end$0$." 
311:410,23['  ]| After$4$ a moment's reflection, $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford replied, 
311:410,23[D  ]| "I 
311:410,24[D  ]| know Mansfield, I know its way, I know its faults towards 
311:410,25[D  ]| \you\. I know the danger of your being$1$ so$5#1$ far forgotten, 
311:410,26[D  ]| as to$9$ have your comforts give way to$4$ the imaginary convenience 
311:410,27[D  ]| of any single being$0$ in$4$ the family. I am aware 
311:410,28[D  ]| that$3$ you may$1$ be left here week after$4$ week, if $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
311:410,29[D  ]| cannot settle every*thing for$4$ coming himself, or sending 
311:410,30[D  ]| your aunt's maid for$4$ you, without involving the slightest 
311:410,31[D  ]| alteration of the arrangements which$6#1$ he may$1$ have laid 
311:410,32[D  ]| down$5$ for$4$ the next quarter$0#1$ of a year. This will$1$ not do. 
311:410,33[D  ]| Two months is an ample allowance, I should think six 
311:410,34[D  ]| weeks quite enough. ~~ I am considering your sister's 
311:410,35[D  ]| health," 
311:410,35['  ]| said he, addressing himself to$4$ $MP#V$Susan, 
311:410,35[D  ]| "which$6#1$ 
311:410,36[D  ]| I think the confinement of Portsmouth unfavourable to$4$. 
311:410,37[D  ]| She requires constant air and exercise$0$. When you know 
311:410,38[D  ]| her as well$5$ as I do, I am sure you will$1$ agree that$3$ she does, 
311:411,01[D  ]| and that$3$ she ought never to$9$ be long banished from the free 
311:411,02[D  ]| air, and liberty of the country. ~~ If, therefore, 
311:411,02['  ]| (turning 
311:411,03['  ]| again to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny) 
311:411,03[D  ]| you find yourself growing unwell, and 
311:411,04[D  ]| any difficulties arise about$4$ your returning to$4$ Mansfield ~~ 
311:411,05[D  ]| without waiting for$4$ the two months to$9$ be ended ~~ \that$6#2$\ 
311:411,06[D  ]| must not be regarded as of any consequence, if you feel 
311:411,07[D  ]| yourself at all less strong, or comfortable than usual, and 
311:411,08[D  ]| will$1$ only let my sister know it, give her only the slightest 
311:411,09[D  ]| hint$0$, she and I will$1$ immediately come down$5$, and take 
311:411,10[D  ]| you back$5$ to$4$ Mansfield. You know the ease$0$, and the 
311:411,11[D  ]| pleasure with which$6#1$ this would be done. You know all 
311:411,12[D  ]| that$6#1$ would be felt on$4$ the occasion$0$." 
311:411,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny thanked him, but tried to$9$ laugh$1$ it off. 
311:411,14[D  ]| "I am perfectly serious$2$," ~~ 
311:411,14['  ]| he replied, ~~ 
311:411,14[D  ]| "as you perfectly 
311:411,15[D  ]| know. ~~ And I hope$1$ you will$1$ not be cruelly concealing 
311:411,16[D  ]| any tendency to$4$ indisposition. ~~ Indeed, you shall 
311:411,17[D  ]| \not\, it shall not be in$4$ your power, for$4$ so$5#1$ long only as you 
311:411,18[D  ]| positively say, in$4$ every letter to$4$ $MP#C$Mary, ""I am well$5$."" ~~ and 
311:411,19[D  ]| I know you cannot speak or write a falsehood, ~~ so$5#1$ long 
311:411,20[D  ]| only shall you be considered as well$5$." 
311:411,21['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny thanked him again, but was affected and distressed 
311:411,22['  ]| to$4$ a degree that$6#1$ made it impossible for$4$ her to$9$ say 
311:411,23['  ]| much, or even$5$ to$9$ be certain of what she ought to$9$ say. ~~ 
311:411,24['  ]| This was towards the close$0$ of their walk$0$. He attended 
311:411,25['  ]| them to$4$ the last$0$, and left them only at the door of their 
311:411,26['  ]| own$2$ house, when he knew them to$9$ be going to$4$ dinner, 
311:411,27['  ]| and therefore pretended to$9$ be waited for$5$ elsewhere. 
311:411,28[D  ]| "I wish$1$ you were not so$5#1$ tired," ~~ 
311:411,28['  ]| said he, still$5$ detaining 
311:411,29['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny after$3$ all the others were in$4$ the house; 
311:411,29[D  ]| "I wish$1$ I 
311:411,30[D  ]| left you in$4$ stronger health. ~~ Is there anything I can do 
311:411,31[D  ]| for$4$ you in$4$ town? I have half an idea of going into Norfolk 
311:411,32[D  ]| again soon. I am not satisfied about$4$ $MP#ZT$Maddison. ~~ 
311:411,33[D  ]| I am sure he still$5$ means$1$ to$9$ impose on$4$ me if possible, and 
311:411,34[D  ]| get a cousin of his own$2$ into a certain mill, which$6#1$ I design$1$ 
311:411,35[D  ]| for$4$ somebody else. ~~ I must come to$4$ an understanding 
311:411,36[D  ]| with him. I must make$1$ him know that$3$ I will$1$ not be 
311:411,37[D  ]| tricked on$4$ the south side$0$ of Everingham, any more than 
311:411,38[D  ]| on$4$ the north, that$3$ I will$1$ be master of my own$2$ property. 
311:412,01[D  ]| I was not explicit enough with him before$5$. ~~ The mischief 
311:412,02[D  ]| such a man does on$4$ an estate, both as to$4$ the credit$0$ of his 
311:412,03[D  ]| employer, and the welfare of the poor, is inconceivable. 
311:412,04[D  ]| I have a great mind$0$ to$9$ go back$5$ into Norfolk directly, and 
311:412,05[D  ]| put every*thing at once on$4$ such a footing as cannot be 
311:412,06[D  ]| afterwards swerved from. ~~ $MP#ZT$Maddison is a clever fellow; 
311:412,07[D  ]| I do not wish$1$ to$9$ displace him ~~ provided he does not try 
311:412,08[D  ]| to$9$ displace \me\; ~~ but it would be simple$2$ to$9$ be duped by$4$ 
311:412,09[D  ]| a man who$6#1$ has no$2$ right$0$ of creditor to$9$ dupe$1$ me ~~ and 
311:412,10[D  ]| worse than simple$2$ to$9$ let him give me a hard-hearted, 
311:412,11[D  ]| griping fellow for$4$ a tenant, instead of an honest man, 
311:412,12[D  ]| to$4$ whom$6#1$ I have given half a promise$0$ already. ~~ Would 
311:412,13[D  ]| not it be worse than simple$2$? Shall I go? ~~ Do you 
311:412,14[D  ]| advise it?" 
311:412,15[A  ]| "I advise! ~~ you know very well$5$ what is right$2#1$." 
311:412,16[D  ]| "Yes. When you give me your opinion, I always know 
311:412,17[D  ]| what is right$2#1$. Your judgment is my rule of right$0$." 
311:412,18[A  ]| "Oh, no$7$! ~~ do not say so$5#2$. We have all a better guide$0$ 
311:412,19[A  ]| in$4$ ourselves, if we would attend to$4$ it, than any other 
311:412,20[A  ]| person can be. Good*bye; I wish$1$ you a pleasant journey 
311:412,21[A  ]| to-morrow." 
311:412,22[D  ]| "Is there nothing I can do for$4$ you in$4$ town?" 
311:412,23[A  ]| "Nothing, I am much obliged to$4$ you." 
311:412,24[D  ]| "Have you no$2$ message for$4$ anybody?" 
311:412,25[A  ]| "My love$0$ to$4$ your sister, if you please; and when you 
311:412,26[A  ]| see my cousin ~~ my cousin $MP#B$Edmund, I wish$1$ you would be 
311:412,27[A  ]| so$5#1$ good as to$9$ say that$3$ ~~ I suppose I shall soon hear from 
311:412,28[A  ]| him." 
311:412,29[D  ]| "Certainly; and if he is lazy or negligent, I will$1$ write 
311:412,30[D  ]| his excuses myself ~~" 
311:412,31['  ]| He could say no$2$ more, for$3$ $MP#A$Fanny would be no$2$ longer 
311:412,32['  ]| detained. He pressed her hand$0$, looked at her, and was 
311:412,33['  ]| gone. \He\ went to$9$ while$1$ away the next three hours 
311:412,34['  ]| as he could, with his other acquaintance, till the best 
311:412,35['  ]| dinner that$6#1$ a capital inn afforded, was ready for$4$ their 
311:412,36['  ]| enjoyment, and \she\ turned in$5$ to$4$ her more simple$2$ one 
311:412,37['  ]| immediately. 
311:412,38['  ]| Their general$2$ fare$0$ bore$1#1$ a very different character; and 
311:413,01['  ]| could he have suspected how many privations, besides 
311:413,02['  ]| that$6#2$ of exercise$0$, she endured in$4$ her father's house, he 
311:413,03['  ]| would have wondered that$3$ her looks$0$ were not much more 
311:413,04['  ]| affected than he found them. She was so$5#1$ little equal$2$ to$4$ 
311:413,05['  ]| $MP#V$Rebecca's puddings, and $MP#V$Rebecca's hashes, brought to$4$ 
311:413,06['  ]| table as they all were, with such accompaniments of half-cleaned 
311:413,07['  ]| plates, and not half-cleaned knives and forks, 
311:413,08['  ]| that$3$ she was very often constrained to$9$ defer her heartiest 
311:413,09['  ]| meal, till she could send her brothers in$4$ the evening for$4$ 
311:413,10['  ]| biscuits and buns. After$4$ being$1$ nursed up$5$ at Mansfield, 
311:413,11['  ]| it was too$5#1$ late in$4$ the day to$9$ be hardened at Portsmouth; 
311:413,12['  ]| and though $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, had he known all, might have 
311:413,13['  ]| thought$1$ his niece in$4$ the most promising way of being$1$ 
311:413,14['  ]| starved, both mind$0$ and body, into a much juster value$0$ 
311:413,15['  ]| for$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's good company and good fortune, he 
311:413,16['  ]| would probably have feared to$9$ push$1$ his experiment 
311:413,17['  ]| farther, lest she might die$1$ under the cure$0$. 
311:413,18['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was out$5$ of spirits all the rest$0#1$ of the day. Though 
311:413,19['  ]| tolerably secure$2$ of not seeing $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford again, she 
311:413,20['  ]| could not help$1$ being$1$ low. 
311:413,20@a   | It was parting with somebody 
311:413,21@a   | of the nature of a friend; and though in$4$ one light$0$ glad 
311:413,22@a   | to$9$ have him gone, it seemed as if she was now deserted 
311:413,23@a   | by$4$ everybody; it was a sort of renewed separation from 
311:413,24@a   | Mansfield; 
311:413,24['  ]| and she could not think of his returning to$4$ 
311:413,25['  ]| town, and being$1$ frequently with $MP#C$Mary and $MP#B$Edmund, without 
311:413,26['  ]| feelings so$5#1$ near$5$ akin to$9$ envy$0$, as made her hate herself 
311:413,27['  ]| for$4$ having them. 
311:413,28['  ]| Her dejection had no$2$ abatement from anything passing 
311:413,29['  ]| around$4$ her; a friend or two of her father's, as always 
311:413,30['  ]| happened if he was not with them, spent the long, long 
311:413,31['  ]| evening there; and from six o'clock to$4$ half past$4$ nine, 
311:413,32['  ]| there was little intermission of noise or grog. She was 
311:413,33['  ]| very low. The wonderful improvement which$6#1$ she still$5$ 
311:413,34['  ]| fancied in$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, was the nearest to$4$ administering 
311:413,35['  ]| comfort$0$ of anything within the current of her thoughts. 
311:413,36['  ]| Not considering in$4$ how different a circle she had been just$5$ 
311:413,37['  ]| seeing him, nor how much might be owing to$4$ contrast, 
311:413,38['  ]| she was quite persuaded of 
311:413,38@a   | his being$1$ astonishingly more 
311:414,01@a   | gentle, and regardful of others, than formerly. And if 
311:414,02@a   | in$4$ little things, must it not be so$5#2$ in$4$ great? So$5#1$ anxious
311:414,03@a   | for$4$ her health and comfort$0$, so$5#1$ very feeling as he now 
311:414,04@a   | expressed himself, and really seemed, might not it be 
311:414,05@a   | fairly supposed, that$3$ he would not much longer persevere 
311:414,06@a   | in$4$ a suit$0$ so$5#1$ distressing to$4$ her? 
312:415,01['  ]| It was presumed that$3$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford was travelling back$5$ 
312:415,02['  ]| to$4$ London, on$4$ the morrow, for$4$ nothing more was seen of 
312:415,03['  ]| him at $MP#O$Mr%*Price's; and two days afterwards, it was a fact 
312:415,04['  ]| ascertained to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny by$4$ the following letter from his 
312:415,05['  ]| sister, opened and read by$4$ her, on$4$ another account$0$, with 
312:415,06['  ]| the most anxious curiosity: ~~ 
312:415,07[C  ]| "I have to$9$ inform you, my dearest $MP#A$Fanny, that$3$ $MP#D$Henry 
312:415,08[C  ]| has been down$5$ to$4$ Portsmouth to$9$ see you; that$3$ he had 
312:415,09[C  ]| a delightful walk$0$ with you to$4$ the Dock-yard last$2$ Saturday, 
312:415,10[C  ]| and one still$5$ more to$9$ be dwelt on$4$ the next day, on$4$ the 
312:415,11[C  ]| ramparts; when the balmy air, the sparkling sea, and 
312:415,12[C  ]| your sweet looks$0$ and conversation were altogether in$4$ the 
312:415,13[C  ]| most delicious harmony, and afforded sensations which$6#1$ 
312:415,14[C  ]| are to$9$ raise ecstacy even$5$ in$4$ retrospect. This, as well$5$ as 
312:415,15[C  ]| I understand, is to$9$ be the substance of my information. 
312:415,16[C  ]| He makes me write, but I do not know what else is to$9$ be 
312:415,17[C  ]| communicated, except this said visit$0$ to$4$ Portsmouth, and 
312:415,18[C  ]| these two said walks$0$, and his introduction to$4$ your family, 
312:415,19[C  ]| especially to$4$ a fair sister of your's, a fine girl of fifteen, 
312:415,20[C  ]| who$6#1$ was of the party on$4$ the ramparts, taking her first 
312:415,21[C  ]| lesson, I presume, in$4$ love$0$. I have not time for$4$ writing 
312:415,22[C  ]| much, but it would be out$5$ of place$0$ if I had, for$3$ this is to$9$ 
312:415,23[C  ]| be a mere letter of business, penned for$4$ the purpose of 
312:415,24[C  ]| conveying necessary information, which$6#1$ could not be 
312:415,25[C  ]| delayed without risk$0$ of evil. My dear$2#1$, dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, if I 
312:415,26[C  ]| had you here, how I would talk$1$ to$4$ you! ~~ You should 
312:415,27[C  ]| listen to$4$ me till you were tired, and advise me till you were 
312:415,28[C  ]| tired still$5$ more; but it is impossible to$9$ put an hundredth 
312:415,29[C  ]| part$0$ of my great mind$0$ on$4$ paper, so$3$ I will$1$ abstain altogether, 
312:415,30[C  ]| and leave$1$ you to$9$ guess$1$ what you like$1$. I have no$2$ news 
312:415,31[C  ]| for$4$ you. You have politics of course$8$; and it would be 
312:415,32[C  ]| too$5#1$ bad to$9$ plague you with the names of people and 
312:415,33[C  ]| parties, that$6#1$ fill up$5$ my time. I ought to$9$ have sent you 
312:416,01[C  ]| an account$0$ of your cousin's first party, but I was lazy, 
312:416,02[C  ]| and now it is too$5#1$ long ago; suffice it, that$3$ every*thing 
312:416,03[C  ]| was just$5$ as it ought to$9$ be, in$4$ a style that$6#1$ any of her 
312:416,03[C  ]| connections 
312:416,04[C  ]| must have been gratified to$9$ witness$1$, and that$3$ her 
312:416,05[C  ]| own$2$ dress$0$ and manners did her the greatest credit$0$. My 
312:416,06[C  ]| friend $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser is mad for$4$ such a house, and it would 
312:416,07[C  ]| not make$1$ \me\ miserable. I go to$4$ $MP#ZZI$Lady*Stornaway after$4$ 
312:416,08[C  ]| Easter. She seems in$4$ high spirits, and very happy. I 
312:416,09[C  ]| fancy$1$ $MP#ZZI$Lord*S% is very good-humoured and pleasant in$4$ his 
312:416,10[C  ]| own$2$ family, and I do not think him so$5#1$ very ill-looking as 
312:416,11[C  ]| I did, at least one sees many worse. He will$1$ not do by$4$ 
312:416,12[C  ]| the side$0$ of your cousin $MP#B$Edmund. Of the last-mentioned 
312:416,13[C  ]| hero, what shall I say? If I avoided his name$0$ entirely, 
312:416,14[C  ]| it would look$1$ suspicious. I will$1$ say, then, that$3$ we have 
312:416,15[C  ]| seen him two or three times, and that$3$ my friends here 
312:416,16[C  ]| are very much struck with his gentleman-like appearance. 
312:416,17[C  ]| $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser (no$2$ bad judge$0$), declares she knows but three 
312:416,18[C  ]| men in$4$ town who$6#1$ have so$5#1$ good a person, height, and air; 
312:416,19[C  ]| and I must confess, when he dined here the other day, 
312:416,20[C  ]| there were none to$9$ compare with him, and we were a party 
312:416,21[C  ]| of sixteen. Luckily there is no$2$ distinction of dress$0$ now-a-days 
312:416,22[C  ]| to$9$ tell tales, but ~~ but ~~ but. 
312:416,23[C  ]| Your's, affectionately." 
312:416,24[C  ]| "I had almost forgot (it was $MP#B$Edmund's fault, he gets 
312:416,25[C  ]| into my head$0$ more than does me good), one very material$2$ 
312:416,26[C  ]| thing I had to$9$ say from $MP#D$Henry and myself, I mean$1$ about$4$ 
312:416,27[C  ]| our taking you back$5$ into Northamptonshire. My dear$2#1$ 
312:416,28[C  ]| little creature, do not stay$1$ at Portsmouth to$9$ lose your 
312:416,29[C  ]| pretty$2$ looks$0$. Those vile sea-breezes are the ruin$0$ of beauty 
312:416,30[C  ]| and health. My poor aunt always felt affected, if within 
312:416,31[C  ]| ten miles of the sea, which$6#1$ the $MP#ZF$Admiral of course$8$ never 
312:416,32[C  ]| believed, but I know it was so$5#2$. I am at your service and 
312:416,33[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry's, at an hour's notice$0$. I should like$1$ the scheme$0$, 
312:416,34[C  ]| and we would make$1$ a little circuit, and shew$1$ you 
312:416,35[C  ]| Everingham in$4$ our way, and perhaps you would not 
312:416,36[C  ]| mind$1$ passing through$4$ London, and seeing the inside$0$ of 
312:416,37[C  ]| St%*George's, Hanover-Square. Only keep your cousin 
312:416,38[C  ]| $MP#B$Edmund from me at such a time, I should not like$1$ to$9$ be 
312:417,01[C  ]| tempted. What a long letter! ~~ one word more. $MP#D$Henry 
312:417,02[C  ]| I find has some idea of going into Norfolk again upon$4$ some 
312:417,03[C  ]| business that$6#1$ \you\ approve, but this cannot possibly be 
312:417,04[C  ]| permitted before$4$ the middle of next week, that$6#2$ is, he cannot 
312:417,05[C  ]| any*how be spared till after$4$ the 14th, for$3$ \we\ have a 
312:417,06[C  ]| party that$6#2$ evening. The value$0$ of a man like$4$ $MP#D$Henry on$4$ 
312:417,07[C  ]| such an occasion$0$, is what you can have no$2$ conception of; 
312:417,08[C  ]| so$3$ you must take it upon$4$ my word, to$9$ be inestimable. 
312:417,09[C  ]| He will$1$ see the $MP#K1$Rushworths, which$6#1$ I own$1$ I am not sorry 
312:417,10[C  ]| for$4$ ~~ having a little curiosity ~~ and so$5#2$ I think has he, 
312:417,11[C  ]| though he will$1$ not acknowledge it." 
312:417,12['  ]| This was a letter to$9$ be run$1$ through$5$ eagerly, to$9$ be read 
312:417,13['  ]| deliberately, to$9$ supply$1$ matter for$4$ much reflection, and to$9$ 
312:417,14['  ]| leave$1$ every*thing in$4$ greater suspense than ever. 
312:417,14@a   | The 
312:417,15@a   | only certainty to$9$ be drawn from it was, that$3$ nothing 
312:417,16@a   | decisive had yet taken place$0$. $MP#B$Edmund had not yet 
312:417,17@a   | spoken. How $MP#C$Miss*Crawford really felt ~~ how she meant 
312:417,18@a   | to$9$ act$1$, or might act$1$ without or against her meaning ~~ 
312:417,19@a   | whether his importance to$4$ her were quite what it had been 
312:417,20@a   | before$4$ the last$2$ separation ~~ whether if lessened it were 
312:417,21@a   | likely to$9$ lessen more, or to$9$ recover itself, were subjects 
312:417,22@a   | for$4$ endless conjecture$0$, and to$9$ be thought$1$ of on$4$ that$6#2$ day 
312:417,23@a   | and many days to$9$ come, without producing any conclusion. 
312:417,24@a   | The idea that$6#1$ returned the oftenest, was that$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
312:417,25@a   | after$4$ proving herself cooled and staggered by$4$ 
312:417,26@a   | a return$0$ to$4$ London habits, would yet prove herself in$4$ the 
312:417,27@a   | end$0$ too$5#1$ much attached to$4$ him, to$9$ give him up$5$. She 
312:417,28@a   | would try to$9$ be more ambitious than her heart would allow. 
312:417,29@a   | She would hesitate, she would teaze, she would condition$1$, 
312:417,30@a   | she would require a great deal$0$, but she would finally accept. 
312:417,31['  ]| This was $MP#A$Fanny's most frequent expectation. 
312:417,31@a   | A house 
312:417,32@a   | in$4$ town! ~~ \that$6#2$\ she thought$1$ must be impossible. Yet 
312:417,33@a   | there was no$2$ saying what $MP#C$Miss*Crawford might not ask. 
312:417,34@a   | The prospect for$4$ her cousin grew worse and worse. The 
312:417,35@a   | woman who$6#1$ could speak of him, and speak only of his 
312:417,36@a   | appearance! ~~ What an unworthy attachment! To$9$ be 
312:417,37@a   | deriving support$0$ from the commendations of $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser! 
312:417,38@a   | \She\ who$6#1$ had known him intimately half a year! 
312:417,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny 
312:418,01['  ]| was ashamed of her. 
312:418,01@a   | Those parts of the letter which$6#1$ 
312:418,02@a   | related only to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford and herself, touched her in$4$ 
312:418,03@a   | comparison, slightly. Whether $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford went into 
312:418,04@a   | Norfolk before$4$ or after$4$ the 14th, was certainly no$2$ concern$0$ 
312:418,05@a   | of her's, though, every*thing considered, she thought$1$ he 
312:418,06@a   | \would\ go without delay$0$. That$3$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford should 
312:418,07@a   | endeavour$1$ to$9$ secure$1$ a meeting between him and $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
312:418,08@a   | was all in$4$ her worst line of conduct$0$, and 
312:418,09@a   | grossly unkind and ill-judged; but she hoped \he\ would 
312:418,10@a   | not be actuated by$4$ any such degrading curiosity. He 
312:418,11@a   | acknowledged no$2$ such inducement, and his sister ought 
312:418,12@a   | to$9$ have given him credit$0$ for$4$ better feelings than her own$2$. 
312:418,13['  ]| She was yet more impatient for$4$ another letter from 
312:418,14['  ]| town after$4$ receiving this, than she had been before$5$; and 
312:418,15['  ]| for$4$ a few days, was so$5#1$ unsettled by$4$ it altogether, by$4$ what 
312:418,16['  ]| had come, and what might come, that$3$ her usual readings 
312:418,17['  ]| and conversation with $MP#V$Susan were much suspended. She 
312:418,18['  ]| could not command$1$ her attention as she wished. 
312:418,18@a   | If $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford 
312:418,19@a   | remembered her message to$4$ her cousin, she 
312:418,20@a   | thought$1$ it very likely, \most\ likely, that$3$ he would write to$4$ 
312:418,21@a   | her at all events; it would be most consistent with his 
312:418,22@a   | usual kindness, 
312:418,22['  ]| and till she got rid of this idea, till it 
312:418,23['  ]| gradually wore off, by$4$ no$2$ letters appearing in$4$ the course$0$ 
312:418,24['  ]| of three or four days more, she was in$4$ a most restless, 
312:418,25['  ]| anxious state$0$. 
312:418,26['  ]| At length, a something like$4$ composure succeeded. Suspense 
312:418,27['  ]| must be submitted to$5$, and must not be allowed to$9$ 
312:418,28['  ]| wear her out$5$, and make$1$ her useless. Time did something, 
312:418,29['  ]| her own$2$ exertions something more, and she resumed her 
312:418,30['  ]| attentions to$4$ $MP#V$Susan, and again awakened the same interest$0$ 
312:418,31['  ]| in$4$ them. 
312:418,32['  ]| $MP#V$Susan was growing very fond of her, and though without 
312:418,33['  ]| any of the early delight$0$ in$4$ books, which$6#1$ had been so$5#1$ strong 
312:418,34['  ]| in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, with a disposition much less inclined to$4$ sedentary 
312:418,35['  ]| pursuits, or to$4$ information for$4$ information's sake, 
312:418,36['  ]| she had so$5#1$ strong a desire$0$ of not \appearing\ ignorant, as 
312:418,37['  ]| with a good clear$2$ understanding, made her a most attentive, 
312:418,38['  ]| profitable, thankful pupil. $MP#A$Fanny was her oracle. 
312:419,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's explanations and remarks were a most important 
312:419,02['  ]| addition to$4$ every essay, or every chapter of history. 
312:419,03['  ]| What $MP#A$Fanny told her of former times, dwelt more on$4$ her 
312:419,04['  ]| mind$0$ than the pages of $MP#Z1$Goldsmith; and she paid her 
312:419,05['  ]| sister the compliment$0$ of preferring her style to$4$ that$6#2$ of 
312:419,06['  ]| any printed author. The early habit of reading was 
312:419,07['  ]| wanting. 
312:419,08['  ]| Their conversations, however, were not always on$4$ subjects 
312:419,09['  ]| so$5#1$ high as history or morals. Others had their hour; 
312:419,10['  ]| and of lesser matters, none returned so$5#1$ often, or remained 
312:419,11['  ]| so$5#1$ long between them, as Mansfield*Park, a description 
312:419,12['  ]| of the people, the manners, the amusements, the ways of 
312:419,13['  ]| Mansfield*Park. $MP#V$Susan, who$6#1$ had an innate taste for$4$ the 
312:419,14['  ]| genteel and well-appointed, was eager to$9$ hear, and $MP#A$Fanny 
312:419,15['  ]| could not but indulge herself in$4$ dwelling on$4$ so$5#1$ beloved 
312:419,16['  ]| a theme. 
312:419,16@a   | She hoped it was not wrong; though after$4$ 
312:419,17@a   | a time, $MP#V$Susan's very great admiration of every*thing said 
312:419,18@a   | or done in$4$ her uncle's house, and earnest longing to$9$ go 
312:419,19@a   | into Northamptonshire, seemed almost to$9$ blame$1$ her for$4$ 
312:419,20@a   | exciting feelings which$6#1$ could not be gratified. 
312:419,21['  ]| Poor $MP#V$Susan was very little better fitted for$4$ home than 
312:419,22['  ]| her elder sister; and as $MP#A$Fanny grew thoroughly to$9$ understand 
312:419,23['  ]| this, 
312:419,23@a   | she began to$9$ feel that$3$ when her own$2$ release$0$ 
312:419,24@a   | from Portsmouth came, her happiness would have a 
312:419,25@a   | material$2$ drawback in$4$ leaving $MP#V$Susan behind. That$3$ a girl 
312:419,26@a   | so$5#1$ capable of being$1$ made, every*thing good, should be left 
312:419,27@a   | in$4$ such hands, distressed her more and more. Were \she\ 
312:419,28@a   | likely to$9$ have a home to$9$ invite her to$4$, what a blessing it 
312:419,29@a   | would be! ~~ And had it been possible for$4$ her to$9$ return$1$ 
312:419,30@a   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford's regard$0$, the probability of his being$1$ very 
312:419,31@a   | far from objecting to$4$ such a measure$0$, would have been 
312:419,32@a   | the greatest increase$0$ of all her own$2$ comforts. She thought$1$ 
312:419,33@a   | he was really good-tempered, and could fancy$1$ his entering 
312:419,34@a   | into a plan of that$6#2$ sort, most pleasantly. 
313:420,01['  ]| Seven weeks of the two months were very nearly gone, 
313:420,02['  ]| when the one letter, the letter from $MP#B$Edmund so$5#1$ long 
313:420,03['  ]| expected, was put into $MP#A$Fanny's hands. As she opened 
313:420,04['  ]| and saw its length she prepared herself for$4$ a minute$2$ detail$0$ 
313:420,05['  ]| of happiness and a profusion of love$0$ and praise$0$ towards 
313:420,06['  ]| the fortunate creature, who$6#1$ was now mistress of his fate. 
313:420,07['  ]| These were the contents. 
313:420,08[B  ]| "\Mansfield*Park\. 
313:420,09[B  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
313:420,10[B  ]| "Excuse$1$ me that$3$ I have not written before$5$. $MP#D$Crawford 
313:420,11[B  ]| told me that$3$ you were wishing to$9$ hear from me, but I 
313:420,12[B  ]| found it impossible to$9$ write from London, and persuaded 
313:420,13[B  ]| myself that$3$ you would understand my silence$0$. ~~ Could I 
313:420,14[B  ]| have sent a few happy lines, they should not have been 
313:420,15[B  ]| wanting, but nothing of that$6#2$ nature was ever in$4$ my power. 
313:420,16[B  ]| ~~ I am returned to$4$ Mansfield in$4$ a less assured state$0$ than 
313:420,17[B  ]| when I left it. My hopes$0$ are much weaker. ~~ You are 
313:420,18[B  ]| probably aware of this already. ~~ So$5#1$ very fond of you as 
313:420,19[B  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford is, it is most natural$2$ that$3$ she should tell 
313:420,20[B  ]| you enough of her own$2$ feelings, to$9$ furnish a tolerable guess$0$ 
313:420,21[B  ]| at mine$6$. ~~ I will$1$ not be prevented, however, from making 
313:420,22[B  ]| my own$2$ communication. Our confidences in$4$ you need$1$ not 
313:420,23[B  ]| clash. ~~ I ask no$2$ questions. ~~ There is something soothing 
313:420,24[B  ]| in$4$ the idea, that$3$ we have the same friend, and that$3$ 
313:420,25[B  ]| whatever unhappy differences of opinion may$1$ exist 
313:420,26[B  ]| between us, we are united in$4$ our love$0$ of you. ~~ It will$1$ be 
313:420,27[B  ]| a comfort$0$ to$4$ me to$9$ tell you how things now are, and what 
313:420,28[B  ]| are my present$2$ plans, if plans I can be said to$9$ have. ~~ I 
313:420,29[B  ]| have been returned since Saturday. I was three weeks 
313:420,30[B  ]| in$4$ London, and saw her (for$4$ London) very often. I had 
313:420,31[B  ]| every attention from the $MP#ZH$Frasers that$6#1$ could be reasonably 
313:420,32[B  ]| expected. I dare$1#2$ say I was \not\ reasonable in$4$ carrying 
313:420,33[B  ]| with me hopes$0$ of an intercourse at all like$4$ that$6#2$ of Mansfield. 
313:421,01[B  ]| It was her manner, however, rather than any unfrequency 
313:421,02[B  ]| of meeting. Had she been different when I did 
313:421,03[B  ]| see her, I should have made no$2$ complaint, but from the 
313:421,04[B  ]| very first she was altered; my first reception was so$5#1$ unlike 
313:421,05[B  ]| what I had hoped, that$3$ I had almost resolved on$4$ leaving 
313:421,06[B  ]| London again directly. ~~ I need$1$ not particularize. You 
313:421,07[B  ]| know the weak side$0$ of her character, and may$1$ imagine 
313:421,08[B  ]| the sentiments and expressions which$6#1$ were torturing me. 
313:421,09[B  ]| She was in$4$ high spirits, and surrounded by$4$ those who$6#1$ were 
313:421,10[B  ]| giving all the support$0$ of their own$2$ bad sense to$4$ her too$5#1$ 
313:421,11[B  ]| lively mind$0$. I do not like$1$ $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser. She is a cold-hearted, 
313:421,12[B  ]| vain woman, who$6#1$ has married entirely from convenience, 
313:421,13[B  ]| and though evidently unhappy in$4$ her marriage, 
313:421,14[B  ]| places$1$ her disappointment, not to$4$ faults of judgment or 
313:421,15[B  ]| temper, or disproportion of age, but to$4$ her being$1$ after$4$ all, 
313:421,16[B  ]| less affluent than many of her acquaintance, especially 
313:421,17[B  ]| than her sister, $MP#ZZI$Lady*Stornaway, and is the determined 
313:421,18[B  ]| supporter of every*thing mercenary and ambitious, provided 
313:421,19[B  ]| it be only mercenary and ambitious enough. I look$1$ 
313:421,20[B  ]| upon$4$ her intimacy with those two sisters, as the greatest 
313:421,21[B  ]| misfortune of her life and mine$6$. They have been leading 
313:421,22[B  ]| her astray for$4$ years. Could she be detached from them! 
313:421,23[B  ]| ~~ and sometimes I do not despair$1$ of it, for$3$ the affection 
313:421,24[B  ]| appears to$4$ me principally on$4$ their side$0$. They are very 
313:421,25[B  ]| fond of her; but I am sure she does not love$1$ them as she 
313:421,26[B  ]| loves you. When I think of her great attachment to$4$ you, 
313:421,27[B  ]| indeed, and the whole$0$ of her judicious, upright conduct$0$ 
313:421,28[B  ]| as a sister, she appears a very different creature, capable 
313:421,29[B  ]| of every*thing noble, and I am ready to$9$ blame$1$ myself for$4$ 
313:421,30[B  ]| a too$5#1$ harsh construction of a playful manner. I cannot 
313:421,31[B  ]| give her up$5$, $MP#A$Fanny. She is the only woman in$4$ the world 
313:421,32[B  ]| whom$6#1$ I could ever think of as a wife. If I did not believe 
313:421,33[B  ]| that$3$ she had some regard$0$ for$4$ me, of course$8$ I should not 
313:421,34[B  ]| say this, but I do believe it. I am convinced, that$3$ she is 
313:421,35[B  ]| not without a decided preference. I have no$2$ jealousy of 
313:421,36[B  ]| any individual. It is the influence$0$ of the fashionable 
313:421,37[B  ]| world altogether that$6#1$ I am jealous of. It is the habits 
313:421,38[B  ]| of wealth that$6#1$ I fear$1$. Her ideas are not higher than her 
313:422,01[B  ]| own$2$ fortune may$1$ warrant, but they are beyond$4$ what our 
313:422,02[B  ]| incomes united could authorise. There is comfort$0$, however, 
313:422,03[B  ]| even$5$ here. I could better bear$1$ to$9$ lose her, because 
313:422,04[B  ]| not rich enough, than because of my profession$0#2$. That$6#2$ 
313:422,05[B  ]| would only prove her affection not equal$2$ to$4$ sacrifices, 
313:422,06[B  ]| which$6#1$, in$4$ fact, I am scarcely justified in$4$ asking; and if I 
313:422,07[B  ]| am refused, \that$6#2$\, I think, will$1$ be the honest motive. Her 
313:422,08[B  ]| prejudices, I trust$1$, are not so$5#1$ strong as they were. You 
313:422,09[B  ]| have my thoughts exactly as they arise, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny; 
313:422,10[B  ]| perhaps they are some*times contradictory, but it will$1$ not 
313:422,11[B  ]| be a less faithful picture$0$ of my mind$0$. Having once begun, 
313:422,12[B  ]| it is a pleasure to$4$ me to$9$ tell you all I feel. I cannot give 
313:422,13[B  ]| her up$5$. Connected, as we already are, and, I hope$1$, are 
313:422,14[B  ]| to$9$ be, to$9$ give up$5$ $MP#C$Mary*Crawford, would be to$9$ give up$5$ the 
313:422,15[B  ]| society of some of those most dear$2#1$ to$4$ me, to$9$ banish myself 
313:422,16[B  ]| from the very houses and friends whom$6#1$, under any other 
313:422,17[B  ]| distress$0$, I should turn$1$ to$4$ for$4$ consolation. The loss of 
313:422,18[B  ]| $MP#C$Mary I must consider as comprehending the loss of $MP#D$Crawford 
313:422,19[B  ]| and of $MP#A$Fanny. Were it a decided thing, an actual 
313:422,20[B  ]| refusal, I hope$1$ I should know how to$9$ bear$1$ it, and how to$9$ 
313:422,21[B  ]| endeavour$1$ to$9$ weaken her hold$0$ on$4$ my heart ~~ and in$4$ the 
313:422,22[B  ]| course$0$ of a few years ~~ but I am writing nonsense ~~ were 
313:422,23[B  ]| I refused, I must bear$1$ it; and till I am, I can never cease 
313:422,24[B  ]| to$9$ try for$4$ her. This is the truth. The only question$0$ is 
313:422,25[B  ]| \how\? What may$1$ be the likeliest means$0$? I have sometimes 
313:422,26[B  ]| thought$1$ of going to$4$ London again after$4$ Easter, and 
313:422,27[B  ]| sometimes resolved on$4$ doing nothing till she returns$1$ to$4$ 
313:422,28[B  ]| Mansfield. Even$5$ now, she speaks with pleasure of being$1$ 
313:422,29[B  ]| in$4$ Mansfield in$4$ June; but June is at a great distance$0$, and 
313:422,30[B  ]| I believe I shall write to$4$ her. I have nearly determined 
313:422,31[B  ]| on$4$ explaining myself by$4$ letter. To$9$ be at an early certainty 
313:422,32[B  ]| is a material$2$ object$0$. My present$2$ state$0$ is miserably 
313:422,33[B  ]| irksome. Considering every*thing, I think a letter will$1$ 
313:422,34[B  ]| be decidedly the best method of explanation. I shall be 
313:422,35[B  ]| able to$9$ write much that$6#1$ I could not say, and shall be giving 
313:422,36[B  ]| her time for$4$ reflection before$3$ she resolves on$4$ her answer$0$, 
313:422,37[B  ]| and I am less afraid of the result$0$ of reflection than of an 
313:422,38[B  ]| immediate hasty impulse; I think I am. My greatest 
313:423,01[B  ]| danger would lie$1$ in$4$ her consulting $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser, and I at 
313:423,02[B  ]| a distance$0$, unable to$9$ help$1$ my own$2$ cause. A letter exposes 
313:423,03[B  ]| to$4$ all the evil of consultation, and where the mind$0$ is any*thing 
313:423,04[B  ]| short of perfect$2$ decision, an adviser may$1$, in$4$ an 
313:423,05[B  ]| unlucky moment, lead$1$ it to$9$ do what it may$1$ afterwards 
313:423,06[B  ]| regret$1$. I must think this matter over a little. This long 
313:423,07[B  ]| letter, full of my own$2$ concerns$0$ alone, will$1$ be enough to$9$ 
313:423,08[B  ]| tire even$5$ the friendship of a $MP#A$Fanny. The last$2$ time I saw 
313:423,09[B  ]| $MP#D$Crawford was at $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser's party. I am more and 
313:423,10[B  ]| more satisfied with all that$6#1$ I see and hear of him. There 
313:423,11[B  ]| is not a shadow of wavering. He thoroughly knows his 
313:423,12[B  ]| own$2$ mind$0$, and acts$1$ up$5$ to$4$ his resolutions ~~ an inestimable 
313:423,13[B  ]| quality. I could not see him, and my eldest sister in$4$ the 
313:423,14[B  ]| same room, without recollecting what you once told me, 
313:423,15[B  ]| and I acknowledge that$3$ they did not meet$1$ as friends. 
313:423,16[B  ]| There was marked coolness on$4$ her side$0$. They scarcely 
313:423,17[B  ]| spoke. I saw him draw back$5$ surprised, and I was sorry 
313:423,18[B  ]| that$3$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth should resent any former supposed 
313:423,19[B  ]| slight$0$ to$4$ $MP#H$Miss*Bertram. You will$1$ wish$1$ to$9$ hear my opinion 
313:423,20[B  ]| of $MP#H$Maria's degree of comfort$0$ as a wife. There is no$2$ appearance 
313:423,21[B  ]| of unhappiness. I hope$1$ they get on$5$ pretty$5$ well$5$ 
313:423,22[B  ]| together. I dined twice in$4$ Wimpole*Street, and might 
313:423,23[B  ]| have been there oftener, but it is mortifying to$9$ be with 
313:423,24[B  ]| $MP#K$Rushworth as a brother. $MP#I$Julia seems to$9$ enjoy London 
313:423,25[B  ]| exceedingly. I had little enjoyment there ~~ but have less 
313:423,26[B  ]| here. We are not a lively party. You are very much 
313:423,27[B  ]| wanted. I miss you more than I can express$1$. My 
313:423,28[B  ]| mother desires her best love$0$, and hopes$1$ to$9$ hear from you 
313:423,29[B  ]| soon. She talks of you almost every hour, and I am sorry 
313:423,30[B  ]| to$9$ find how many weeks more she is likely to$9$ be without 
313:423,31[B  ]| you. My Father means$1$ to$9$ fetch you himself, but it will$1$ 
313:423,32[B  ]| not be till after$4$ Easter, when he has business in$4$ town. 
313:423,33[B  ]| You are happy at Portsmouth, I hope$1$, but this must not 
313:423,34[B  ]| be a yearly visit$0$. I want$1$ you at home, that$3$ I may$1$ have 
313:423,35[B  ]| your opinion about$4$ Thornton*Lacey. I have little heart 
313:423,36[B  ]| for$4$ extensive improvements till I know that$3$ it will$1$ ever 
313:423,37[B  ]| have a mistress. I think I shall certainly write. It is 
313:423,38[B  ]| quite settled that$3$ the $MP#M1$Grants go to$4$ Bath$0#1$; they leave$1$ 
313:424,01[B  ]| Mansfield on$4$ Monday. I am glad of it. I am not comfortable 
313:424,02[B  ]| enough to$9$ be fit$2$ for$4$ any*body; but your aunt 
313:424,03[B  ]| seems to$9$ feel out$5$ of luck that$3$ such an article of Mansfield 
313:424,04[B  ]| news should fall$1$ to$4$ my pen instead of her's. Your's ever, 
313:424,05[B  ]| my dearest $MP#A$Fanny." 
313:424,06[A  ]| "I never will$1$ ~~ no$7$, I certainly never will$1$ wish$1$ for$4$ a 
313:424,06[A  ]| letter 
313:424,07[A  ]| again," 
313:424,07['  ]| was $MP#A$Fanny's secret$2$ declaration, as she finished 
313:424,08['  ]| this. 
313:424,08[A  ]| "What do they bring but disappointment and 
313:424,09[A  ]| sorrow? ~~ Not till after$4$ Easter! ~~ How shall I bear$1$ it? 
313:424,10[A  ]| ~~ And my poor aunt talking of me every hour!" 
313:424,11['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny checked the tendency of these thoughts as well$5$ 
313:424,12['  ]| as she could, but she was within half a minute$0$ of starting 
313:424,13['  ]| the idea, that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was quite unkind, both to$4$ her 
313:424,14['  ]| aunt and to$4$ herself. ~~ As for$4$ the main$2$ subject$0$ of the letter 
313:424,15['  ]| ~~ there was nothing in$4$ that$6#2$ to$9$ soothe irritation. She was 
313:424,16['  ]| almost vexed into displeasure, and anger$0$, against $MP#B$Edmund. 
313:424,17[A  ]| "There is no$2$ good in$4$ this delay$0$," 
313:424,17['  ]| said she. 
313:424,17[A  ]| "Why is not 
313:424,18[A  ]| it settled? ~~ He is blinded, and nothing will$1$ open$1$ his eyes, 
313:424,19[A  ]| nothing can, after$4$ having had truths before$4$ him so$5#1$ long 
313:424,20[A  ]| in$4$ vain. ~~ He will$1$ marry her, and be poor and miserable. 
313:424,21[A  ]| God grant that$3$ her influence$0$ do not make$1$ him cease to$9$ 
313:424,22[A  ]| be respectable!" ~~ 
313:424,22['  ]| She looked over the letter again. 
313:424,23@b   | """So$5#1$ very fond of me!"" 
313:424,23[A  ]| 'tis nonsense all. She loves 
313:424,24[A  ]| nobody but herself and her brother. Her friends leading 
313:424,25[A  ]| her astray for$4$ years! She is quite as likely to$9$ have led 
313:424,26[A  ]| \them\ astray. They have all, perhaps, been corrupting 
313:424,27[A  ]| one another; but if they are so$5#1$ much fonder of her than 
313:424,28[A  ]| she is of them, she is the less likely to$9$ have been hurt, 
313:424,29[A  ]| except by$4$ their flattery. 
313:424,29@b   | ""The only woman in$4$ the world, 
313:424,30@b   | whom$6#1$ he could ever think of as a wife."" 
313:424,30[A  ]| I firmly believe 
313:424,31[A  ]| it. It is an attachment to$9$ govern his whole$2$ life. Accepted 
313:424,32[A  ]| or refused, his heart is wedded to$4$ her for*ever. ~~ 
313:424,32@b   | ""The loss 
313:424,33@b   | of $MP#C$Mary, I must consider as comprehending the loss of 
313:424,34@b   | $MP#D$Crawford and $MP#A$Fanny."" 
313:424,34[A  ]| $MP#B$Edmund, you do not know \me\. The 
313:424,35[A  ]| families would never be connected, if you did not connect 
313:424,36[A  ]| them. Oh! write, write. Finish$1$ it at once. Let there be an 
313:424,37[A  ]| end$0$ of this suspense. Fix, commit, condemn yourself." 
313:424,38['  ]| Such sensations, however, were too$5#1$ near$5$ a kin to$4$ resentment 
313:425,01['  ]| to$9$ be long guiding $MP#A$Fanny's soliloquies. She was 
313:425,02['  ]| soon more softened and sorrowful. ~~ 
313:425,02@a   | His warm$2$ regard$0$, his 
313:425,03@a   | kind$2$ expressions, his confidential treatment touched her 
313:425,04@a   | strongly. He was only too$5#1$ good to$4$ every*body. ~~ It was 
313:425,05@a   | a letter, in$4$ short, which$6#1$ she would not but have had for$4$ the 
313:425,06@a   | world, and which$6#1$ could never be valued enough. 
313:425,06['  ]| This 
313:425,07['  ]| was the end$0$ of it. 
313:425,08['  ]| Every*body at all addicted to$4$ letter writing, without 
313:425,09['  ]| having much to$9$ say, which$6#1$ will$1$ include a large proportion 
313:425,10['  ]| of the female$2$ world at least, must feel with $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
313:425,11['  ]| that$3$ she was out$5$ of luck in$4$ having such a capital piece 
313:425,12['  ]| of Mansfield news, as the certainty of the $MP#M1$Grants going 
313:425,13['  ]| to$4$ Bath$0#1$, occur at a time when she could make$1$ no$2$ advantage 
313:425,14['  ]| of it, and will$1$ admit that$3$ it must have been very 
313:425,15['  ]| mortifying to$4$ her to$9$ see it fall$1$ to$4$ the share$0$ of her thankless 
313:425,16['  ]| son, and treated as concisely as possible at the end$0$ of 
313:425,17['  ]| a long letter, instead of having it to$9$ spread over the largest 
313:425,18['  ]| part$0$ of a page of her own$2$. ~~ For$3$ though $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
313:425,19['  ]| rather shone in$4$ the epistolary line, having early in$4$ her 
313:425,20['  ]| marriage, from the want$0$ of other employment, and the 
313:425,21['  ]| circumstance of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's being$1$ in$4$ Parliament, got 
313:425,22['  ]| into the way of making and keeping correspondents, and 
313:425,23['  ]| formed for$4$ herself a very creditable, common-place, amplifying 
313:425,24['  ]| style, so$3$ that$3$ a very little matter was enough for$4$ her; 
313:425,25['  ]| she could not do entirely without any; she must have 
313:425,26['  ]| something to$9$ write about$4$, even$5$ to$4$ her niece, and being$1$ 
313:425,27['  ]| so$5#1$ soon to$9$ lose all the benefit of $MP#M$Dr%*Grant's gouty 
313:425,28['  ]| symptoms and $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant's morning calls$0$, it was very 
313:425,29['  ]| hard upon$4$ her to$9$ be deprived of one of the last$2$ epistolary 
313:425,30['  ]| uses she could put them to$4$. 
313:425,31['  ]| There was a rich amends, however, preparing for$4$ her. 
313:425,32['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's hour of good luck came. Within a few 
313:425,33['  ]| days from the receipt of $MP#B$Edmund's letter, $MP#A$Fanny had 
313:425,34['  ]| one from her aunt, beginning thus: ~~ 
313:425,35[F  ]| "My dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
313:425,36[F  ]| "I take up$5$ my pen to$9$ communicate some very 
313:425,37[F  ]| alarming intelligence, which$6#1$ I make$1$ no$2$ doubt$0$ will$1$ give 
313:425,38[F  ]| you much concern$0$." 
313:426,01['  ]| This was a great deal$0$ better than to$9$ have to$9$ take up$5$ 
313:426,02['  ]| the pen to$9$ acquaint her with all the particulars of the 
313:426,03['  ]| $MP#M1$Grants' intended journey, for$4$ the present$2$ intelligence was 
313:426,04['  ]| of a nature to$9$ promise$1$ occupation for$4$ the pen for$4$ many 
313:426,05['  ]| days to$9$ come, being$1$ no$2$ less than the dangerous illness 
313:426,06['  ]| of her eldest son, of which$6#1$ they had received notice$0$ by$4$ 
313:426,07['  ]| express$0$, a few hours before$5$. 
313:426,08['  ]| $MP#G$Tom had gone from London with a party of young men 
313:426,09['  ]| to$4$ Newmarket, where a neglected fall$0$, and a good deal$0$ of 
313:426,10['  ]| drinking, had brought on$5$ a fever; and when the party 
313:426,11['  ]| broke up$5$, being$1$ unable to$9$ move$1$, had been left by$4$ himself 
313:426,12['  ]| at the house of one of these young men, to$4$ the comforts 
313:426,13['  ]| of sickness and solitude, and the attendance only of servants. 
313:426,14['  ]| Instead of being$1$ soon well$5$ enough to$9$ follow his 
313:426,15['  ]| friends, as he had then hoped, his disorder increased considerably, 
313:426,16['  ]| and it was not long before$3$ he thought$1$ so$5#1$ ill of 
313:426,17['  ]| himself, as to$9$ be as ready as his physician to$9$ have a letter 
313:426,18['  ]| dispatched to$4$ Mansfield. 
313:426,19[F  ]| "This distressing intelligence, as you may$1$ suppose," 
313:426,20['  ]| observed her Ladyship, after$4$ giving the substance of it, 
313:426,21[F  ]| "has agitated us exceedingly, and we cannot prevent 
313:426,22[F  ]| ourselves from being$1$ greatly alarmed, and apprehensive 
313:426,23[F  ]| for$4$ the poor invalid, whose$6#1$ state$0$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas fears may$1$ be 
313:426,24[F  ]| very critical; and $MP#B$Edmund kindly proposes attending 
313:426,25[F  ]| his brother immediately, but I am happy to$9$ add, that$3$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
313:426,26[F  ]| will$1$ not leave$1$ me on$4$ this distressing occasion$0$, as 
313:426,27[F  ]| it would be too$5#1$ trying$2$ for$4$ me. We shall greatly miss 
313:426,28[F  ]| $MP#B$Edmund in$4$ our small circle, but I trust$1$ and hope$1$ he will$1$ 
313:426,29[F  ]| find the poor invalid in$4$ a less alarming state$0$ than might 
313:426,30[F  ]| be apprehended, and that$3$ he will$1$ be able to$9$ bring him to$4$ 
313:426,31[F  ]| Mansfield shortly, which$6#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas proposes should be 
313:426,32[F  ]| done, and thinks best on$4$ every account$0$, and I flatter myself, 
313:426,33[F  ]| the poor sufferer will$1$ soon be able to$9$ bear$1$ the removal 
313:426,34[F  ]| without material$2$ inconvenience or injury. As I have 
313:426,35[F  ]| little doubt$0$ of your feeling for$4$ us, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, under 
313:426,36[F  ]| these distressing circumstances, I will$1$ write again very 
313:426,37[F  ]| soon." 
313:426,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's feelings on$4$ the occasion$0$ were indeed considerably 
313:427,01['  ]| more warm$2$ and genuine than her aunt's style of 
313:427,02['  ]| writing. She felt truly for$4$ them all. $MP#G$Tom dangerously 
313:427,03['  ]| ill, $MP#B$Edmund gone to$9$ attend him, and the sadly small party 
313:427,04['  ]| remaining at Mansfield, were cares$0$ to$9$ shut out$5$ every other 
313:427,05['  ]| care$0$, or almost every other. She could just$5$ find selfishness 
313:427,06['  ]| enough to$9$ wonder$1$ whether $MP#B$Edmund \had\ written to$4$ 
313:427,07['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford before$3$ this summons came, but no$2$ sentiment 
313:427,08['  ]| dwelt long with her, that$6#1$ was not purely affectionate 
313:427,09['  ]| and disinterestedly anxious. Her aunt did not neglect$1$ 
313:427,10['  ]| her; she wrote again and again; they were receiving 
313:427,11['  ]| frequent accounts from $MP#B$Edmund, and these accounts were 
313:427,12['  ]| as regularly transmitted to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, in$4$ the same diffuse 
313:427,13['  ]| style, and the same medley of trusts, hopes$0$, and fears, all 
313:427,14['  ]| following and producing each other at hap-hazard. It 
313:427,15['  ]| was a sort of playing at being$1$ frightened. The sufferings 
313:427,16['  ]| which$6#1$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram did not see, had little power over 
313:427,17['  ]| her fancy$0$; and she wrote very comfortably about$4$ agitation 
313:427,18['  ]| and anxiety, and poor invalids, till $MP#G$Tom was actually 
313:427,19['  ]| conveyed to$4$ Mansfield, and her own$2$ eyes had beheld his 
313:427,20['  ]| altered appearance. Then, a letter which$6#1$ she had been 
313:427,21['  ]| previously preparing for$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, was finished in$4$ a different 
313:427,22['  ]| style, in$4$ the language of real feeling and alarm$0$; then, she 
313:427,23['  ]| wrote as she might have spoken. 
313:427,23[F  ]| "He is just$5$ come, my 
313:427,24[F  ]| dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, and is taken up*stairs; and I am so$5#1$ shocked 
313:427,25[F  ]| to$9$ see him, that$3$ I do not know what to$9$ do. I am sure he 
313:427,26[F  ]| has been very ill. Poor $MP#G$Tom, I am quite grieved for$4$ him, 
313:427,27[F  ]| and very much frightened, and so$5#2$ is $MP#E$Sir*Thomas; and 
313:427,28[F  ]| how glad I should be, if you were here to$9$ comfort$1$ me. 
313:427,29[F  ]| But $MP#E$Sir*Thomas hopes$1$ he will$1$ be better to-morrow, and 
313:427,30[F  ]| says we must consider his journey." 
313:427,31['  ]| The real solicitude now awakened in$4$ the maternal 
313:427,32['  ]| bosom was not soon over. $MP#G$Tom's extreme$2$ impatience 
313:427,33['  ]| to$9$ be removed to$4$ Mansfield, and experience$1$ those comforts 
313:427,34['  ]| of home and family which$6#1$ had been little thought$1$ 
313:427,35['  ]| of in$4$ uninterrupted health, had probably induced his being$1$ 
313:427,36['  ]| conveyed thither too$5#1$ early, as a return$0$ of fever came on$5$, 
313:427,37['  ]| and for$4$ a week he was in$4$ a more alarming state$0$ than ever. 
313:427,38['  ]| They were all very seriously frightened. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
313:428,01['  ]| wrote her daily terrors to$4$ her niece, who$6#1$ might now be 
313:428,02['  ]| said to$9$ live upon$4$ letters, and pass$1$ all her time between 
313:428,03['  ]| suffering from that$6#2$ of to-day, and looking forward$5$ to$4$ 
313:428,03['  ]| tomorrow's. 
313:428,04['  ]| Without any particular affection for$4$ her eldest 
313:428,05['  ]| cousin, her tenderness of heart made her feel that$3$ she could 
313:428,06['  ]| not spare$1$ him; and the purity of her principles added yet 
313:428,07['  ]| a keener solicitude, when she considered how little useful, 
313:428,08['  ]| how little self-denying his life had (apparently) been. 
313:428,09['  ]| $MP#V$Susan was her only companion and listener on$4$ this, as 
313:428,10['  ]| on$4$ more common$2$ occasions. $MP#V$Susan was always ready to$9$ 
313:428,11['  ]| hear and to$9$ sympathize. Nobody else could be interested 
313:428,12['  ]| in$4$ so$5#1$ remote an evil as illness, in$4$ a family above$4$ an hundred 
313:428,13['  ]| miles off ~~ not even$5$ $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, beyond$4$ a brief question$0$ 
313:428,14['  ]| or two if she saw her daughter with a letter in$4$ her hand$0$, 
313:428,15['  ]| and now and then the quiet$2$ observation of 
313:428,15[P  ]| "My poor 
313:428,16[P  ]| sister $MP#F$Bertram must be in$4$ a great deal$0$ of trouble$0$." 
313:428,17['  ]| So$5#1$ long divided, and so$5#1$ differently situated, the ties of 
313:428,18['  ]| blood were little more than nothing. An attachment, 
313:428,19['  ]| originally as tranquil as their tempers, was now become 
313:428,20['  ]| a mere name$0$. $MP#P$Mrs%*Price did quite as much for$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, 
313:428,21['  ]| as $MP#F$Lady*Bertram would have done for$4$ $MP#P$Mrs%*Price. 
313:428,22['  ]| Three or four $MP#O$Prices might have been swept away, 
313:428,23['  ]| any or all, except $MP#A$Fanny and $MP#Q$William, and $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
313:428,24['  ]| would have thought$1$ little about$4$ it; or perhaps might have 
313:428,25['  ]| caught from $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's lips the cant of its being$1$ a very 
313:428,26['  ]| happy thing, and a great blessing to$4$ their poor dear$2#1$ sister 
313:428,27['  ]| $MP#P$Price to$9$ have them so$5#1$ well$5$ provided for$5$. 
314:429,01['  ]| At about$4$ the week's end$0$ from his return$0$ to$4$ Mansfield, 
314:429,02['  ]| $MP#G$Tom's immediate danger was over, and he was so$5#1$ far pronounced 
314:429,03['  ]| safe, as to$9$ make$1$ his mother perfectly easy; for$3$ 
314:429,04['  ]| being$1$ now used to$4$ the sight of him in$4$ his suffering, helpless 
314:429,05['  ]| state$0$, and hearing only the best, and never thinking beyond$4$ 
314:429,06['  ]| what she heard, with no$2$ disposition for$4$ alarm$0$, and no$2$ 
314:429,07['  ]| aptitude at a hint$0$, $MP#F$Lady*Bertram was the happiest subject$0$ 
314:429,08['  ]| in$4$ the world for$4$ a little medical imposition. 
314:429,08@f   | The fever 
314:429,09@f   | was subdued; the fever had been his complaint, of course$8$ 
314:429,10@f   | he would soon be well$5$ again; 
314:429,10['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram could think 
314:429,11['  ]| nothing less, and $MP#A$Fanny shared her aunt's security, till 
314:429,12['  ]| she received a few lines from $MP#B$Edmund, 
314:429,12@b   | written purposely 
314:429,13@b   | to$9$ give her a clearer idea of his brother's situation, and 
314:429,14@b   | acquaint her with the apprehensions which$6#1$ he and his 
314:429,15@b   | father had imbibed from the physician, with respect$0$ to$4$ 
314:429,16@b   | some strong hectic symptoms, which$6#1$ seemed to$9$ seize the 
314:429,17@b   | frame on$4$ the departure of the fever. They judged it best 
314:429,18@b   | that$3$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram should not be harassed by$4$ alarms 
314:429,19@b   | which$6#1$, it was to$9$ be hoped, would prove unfounded; but 
314:429,20@b   | there was no$2$ reason$0$ why $MP#A$Fanny should not know the 
314:429,21@b   | truth. They were apprehensive for$4$ his lungs. 
314:429,22['  ]| A very few lines from $MP#B$Edmund shewed her the patient 
314:429,23['  ]| and the sick room in$4$ a juster and stronger light$0$ than all 
314:429,24['  ]| $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's sheets of paper could do. There was 
314:429,25['  ]| hardly any*one in$4$ the house who$6#1$ might have not described, 
314:429,26['  ]| from personal observation, better than herself; not one 
314:429,27['  ]| who$6#1$ was not more useful at times to$4$ her son. She could 
314:429,28['  ]| do nothing but glide in$5$ quietly and look$1$ at him; but, 
314:429,29['  ]| when able to$9$ talk$1$ or be talked to$5$, or read to$5$, $MP#B$Edmund was 
314:429,30['  ]| the companion he preferred. His aunt worried him by$4$ 
314:429,31['  ]| her cares$0$, and $MP#E$Sir*Thomas knew not how to$9$ bring down$5$ 
314:429,32['  ]| his conversation or his voice to$4$ the level of irritation and 
314:429,33['  ]| feebleness. $MP#B$Edmund was all in$4$ all. $MP#A$Fanny would certainly 
314:430,01['  ]| believe him so$5#2$ at least, and must find that$3$ her estimation 
314:430,02['  ]| of him was higher than ever when he appeared as 
314:430,03['  ]| the attendant, supporter, cheerer of a suffering brother. 
314:430,04['  ]| There was not only the debility of recent illness to$9$ assist; 
314:430,05['  ]| there was also, as she now learnt, nerves much affected, 
314:430,06['  ]| spirits much depressed to$9$ calm$1$ and raise; and her own$2$ 
314:430,07['  ]| imagination added that$3$ there must be a mind$0$ to$9$ be 
314:430,08['  ]| properly guided. 
314:430,09['  ]| The family were not consumptive, and she was more 
314:430,10['  ]| inclined to$9$ hope$1$ than fear$1$ for$4$ her cousin ~~ except when 
314:430,11['  ]| she thought$1$ of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford ~~ but $MP#C$Miss*Crawford gave 
314:430,12['  ]| her the idea of being$1$ the child of good luck, and to$4$ her 
314:430,13['  ]| selfishness and vanity it would be good luck to$9$ have 
314:430,14['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund the only son. 
314:430,15['  ]| Even$5$ in$4$ the sick chamber, the fortunate $MP#C$Mary was not 
314:430,16['  ]| forgotten. $MP#B$Edmund's letter had this postscript. 
314:430,16[B  ]| "On$4$ 
314:430,17[B  ]| the subject$0$ of my last$0$, I had actually begun a letter when 
314:430,18[B  ]| called away by$4$ $MP#G$Tom's illness, but I have now changed my 
314:430,19[B  ]| mind$0$, and fear$1$ to$9$ trust$1$ the influence$0$ of friends. When 
314:430,20[B  ]| $MP#G$Tom is better, I shall go." 
314:430,21['  ]| Such was the state$0$ of Mansfield, and so$3$ it continued, 
314:430,22['  ]| with scarcely any change$0$ till Easter. A line occasionally 
314:430,23['  ]| added by$4$ $MP#B$Edmund to$4$ his mother's letter was enough for$4$ 
314:430,24['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's information. $MP#G$Tom's amendment was alarmingly 
314:430,25['  ]| slow. 
314:430,26['  ]| Easter came ~~ particularly late this year, as $MP#A$Fanny had 
314:430,27['  ]| most sorrowfully considered, on$4$ first learning that$3$ she 
314:430,28['  ]| had no$2$ chance$0$ of leaving Portsmouth till after$4$ it. 
314:430,28@a   | It 
314:430,29@a   | came, and she had yet heard nothing of her return$0$ ~~ 
314:430,30@a   | nothing even$5$ of the going to$4$ London, which$6#1$ was to$9$ precede 
314:430,31@a   | her return$0$. Her aunt often expressed a wish$0$ for$4$ her, 
314:430,32@a   | but there was no$2$ notice$0$, no$2$ message from the uncle on$4$ 
314:430,33@a   | whom$6#1$ all depended. She supposed he could not yet leave$1$ 
314:430,34@a   | his son, but it was a cruel, a terrible delay$0$ to$4$ her. The 
314:430,35@a   | end$0$ of April was coming on$5$; it would soon be almost 
314:430,36@a   | three months instead of two that$3$ she had been absent from 
314:430,37@a   | them all, and that$3$ her days had been passing in$4$ a state$0$ 
314:430,38@a   | of penance, which$6#1$ she loved them too$5#1$ well$5$ to$9$ hope$1$ they 
314:431,01@a   | would thoroughly understand; ~~ and who$6#2$ could yet say 
314:431,02@a   | when there might be leisure to$9$ think of, or fetch her? 
314:431,03@a   | Her eagerness, her impatience, her longings to$9$ be with 
314:431,04@a   | them, were such as to$9$ bring a line or two of $MP#Z1$Cowper's 
314:431,05@a   | Tirocinium for*ever before$4$ her. 
314:431,05@z   | "With what intense desire$0$ 
314:431,06@z   | she wants$1$ her home," 
314:431,06@a   | was continually on$4$ her tongue, as 
314:431,07@a   | the truest description of a yearning which$6#1$ she could not 
314:431,08@a   | suppose any school-boy's bosom to$9$ feel more keenly. 
314:431,09@a   | When she had been coming to$4$ Portsmouth, she had 
314:431,10@a   | loved to$9$ call$1$ it her home, had been fond of saying that$3$ she 
314:431,11@a   | was going home; the word had been very dear$2#1$ to$4$ her; 
314:431,12@a   | and so$5#2$ it still$5$ was, but it must be applied to$4$ Mansfield. 
314:431,13@a   | \That$6#2$\ was now the home. Portsmouth was Portsmouth; 
314:431,14@a   | Mansfield was home. 
314:431,14['  ]| They had been long so$5#2$ arranged 
314:431,15['  ]| in$4$ the indulgence of her secret$2$ meditations; 
314:431,15@a   | and nothing 
314:431,16@a   | was more consolatory to$4$ her than to$9$ find her aunt using 
314:431,17@a   | the same language. ~~ 
314:431,17[F  ]| "I cannot but say, I much regret$1$ 
314:431,18[F  ]| your being$1$ from home at this distressing time, so$5#1$ very 
314:431,19[F  ]| trying$2$ to$4$ my spirits. ~~ I trust$1$ and hope$1$, and sincerely 
314:431,19[F  ]| wish$1$ 
314:431,20[F  ]| you may$1$ never be absent from home so$5#1$ long again" ~~ 
314:431,21@a   | were most delightful sentences to$4$ her. 
314:431,21['  ]| Still$5$, however, 
314:431,22['  ]| it was her private$2$ regale. ~~ Delicacy to$4$ her parents made 
314:431,23['  ]| her careful not to$9$ betray such a preference of her uncle's 
314:431,24['  ]| house: it was always, 
314:431,24[A  ]| "when I go back$5$ into Northamptonshire, 
314:431,25[A  ]| or when I return$1$ to$4$ Mansfield, I shall do so$5#2$ and 
314:431,26[A  ]| so$5#2$." ~~ 
314:431,26['  ]| For$4$ a great while$0$ it was so$5#2$; but at last$0$ the longing 
314:431,27['  ]| grew stronger, it overthrew caution$0$, 
314:431,27@a   | and she found herself 
314:431,28@a   | talking of what she should do when she went home, before$3$ 
314:431,29@a   | she was aware. ~~ 
314:431,29['  ]| She reproached herself, coloured and 
314:431,30['  ]| looked fearfully towards her Father and Mother. 
314:431,30@a   | She 
314:431,31@a   | need$1$ not have been uneasy. There was no$2$ sign of displeasure, 
314:431,32@a   | or even$5$ of hearing her. They were perfectly free 
314:431,33@a   | from any jealousy of Mansfield. She was as welcome$2$ to$9$ 
314:431,34@a   | wish$1$ herself there, as to$9$ be there. 
314:431,35['  ]| It was sad to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ lose all the pleasures of spring$0$. 
314:431,36['  ]| She had not known before$5$ what pleasures she \had\ to$9$ lose 
314:431,37['  ]| in$4$ passing March and April in$4$ a town. She had not known 
314:431,38['  ]| before$5$, how much the beginnings and progress of vegetation 
314:432,01['  ]| had delighted her. ~~ What animation both of body 
314:432,02['  ]| and mind$0$, she had derived from watching the advance$0$ of 
314:432,03['  ]| that$6#2$ season which$6#1$ cannot, in$4$ spite$8$ of its capriciousness, 
314:432,04['  ]| be unlovely, and seeing its increasing beauties, from the 
314:432,05['  ]| earliest flowers, in$4$ the warmest divisions of her aunt's 
314:432,06['  ]| garden, to$4$ the opening of leaves$0$ of her uncle's plantations, 
314:432,07['  ]| and the glory$0$ of his woods. ~~ To$9$ be losing such pleasures
314:432,08['  ]| was no$2$ trifle$0$; to$9$ be losing them, because she was in$4$ the 
314:432,09['  ]| midst of closeness and noise, to$9$ have confinement, bad 
314:432,10['  ]| air, bad smells, substituted for$4$ liberty, freshness, fragrance, 
314:432,11['  ]| and verdure, was infinitely worse; ~~ but even$5$ these 
314:432,12['  ]| incitements to$4$ regret$0$, were feeble, compared with what 
314:432,13['  ]| arose from the conviction of being$1$ missed, by$4$ her best 
314:432,14['  ]| friends, and the longing to$9$ be useful to$4$ those who$6#1$ were 
314:432,15['  ]| wanting her! 
314:432,16@a   | Could she have been at home, she might have been of 
314:432,17@a   | service to$4$ every creature in$4$ the house. She felt that$3$ she 
314:432,18@a   | must have been of use$0$ to$4$ all. To$4$ all, she must have saved 
314:432,19@a   | some trouble$0$ of head$0$ or hand$0$; and were it only in$4$ supporting 
314:432,20@a   | the spirits of her aunt $MP#F$Bertram, keeping her from 
314:432,21@a   | the evil of solitude, or the still$5$ greater evil of a restless, 
314:432,22@a   | officious companion, too$5#1$ apt to$9$ be heightening danger in$4$ 
314:432,23@a   | order to$9$ enhance her own$2$ importance, her being$1$ there 
314:432,24@a   | would have been a general$2$ good. She loved to$9$ fancy$1$ how 
314:432,25@a   | she could have read to$4$ her aunt, how she could have talked 
314:432,26@a   | to$4$ her, and tried at once to$9$ make$1$ her feel the blessing of 
314:432,27@a   | what was, and prepare her mind$0$ for$4$ what might be; and 
314:432,28@a   | how many walks$0$ up$5$ and down*stairs she might have saved 
314:432,29@a   | her, and how many messages she might have carried. 
314:432,30@a   | It astonished her that$3$ $MP#G$Tom's sisters could be satisfied 
314:432,31@a   | with remaining in$4$ London at such a time ~~ through$4$ an 
314:432,32@a   | illness, which$6#1$ had now, under different degrees of danger, 
314:432,33@a   | lasted several weeks. \They\ might return$1$ to$4$ Mansfield 
314:432,34@a   | when they chose; travelling could be no$2$ difficulty to$4$ 
314:432,35@a   | \them\, and she could not comprehend how both could still$5$ 
314:432,36@a   | keep away. If $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth could imagine any interfering 
314:432,37@a   | obligations, $MP#I$Julia was certainly able to$9$ quit London 
314:432,38@a   | whenever she chose. ~~ It appeared from one of her aunt's 
314:433,01@a   | letters, that$3$ $MP#I$Julia had offered to$9$ return$1$ if wanted ~~ but 
314:433,02@a   | this was all. ~~ It was evident that$3$ she would rather remain 
314:433,03@a   | where she was. 
314:433,04['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was disposed to$9$ think the influence$0$ of London 
314:433,05['  ]| very much at war with all respectable attachments. She 
314:433,06['  ]| saw the proof of it in$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, as well$5$ as in$4$ her 
314:433,07['  ]| cousins; 
314:433,07@a   | \her\ attachment to$4$ $MP#B$Edmund had been respectable, 
314:433,08@a   | the most respectable part$0$ of her character, her friendship 
314:433,09@a   | for$4$ herself, had at least been blameless. Where was either 
314:433,10@a   | sentiment now? 
314:433,10['  ]| It was so$5#1$ long since $MP#A$Fanny had had any 
314:433,11['  ]| letter from her, that$3$ she had some reason$0$ to$9$ think lightly 
314:433,12['  ]| of the friendship which$6#1$ had been so$5#1$ dwelt on$5$. ~~ 
314:433,12@a   | It was 
314:433,13@a   | weeks since she had heard any*thing of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford or 
314:433,14@a   | of her other connections in$4$ town, except through$4$ Mansfield, 
314:433,15@a   | and she was beginning to$9$ suppose that$3$ she might never 
314:433,16@a   | know whether $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford had gone into Norfolk again 
314:433,17@a   | or not, till they met, and might never hear from his sister 
314:433,18@a   | any more this spring$0$, 
314:433,18['  ]| when the following letter was received 
314:433,19['  ]| to$9$ revive old, and create some new sensations. 
314:433,20[C  ]| "Forgive me, my dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, as soon as you can, for$4$ 
314:433,21[C  ]| my long silence$0$, and behave as if you could forgive me 
314:433,22[C  ]| directly. This is my modest request$0$ and expectation, 
314:433,23[C  ]| for$3$ you are so$5#1$ good, that$3$ I depend upon$4$ being$1$ treated 
314:433,24[C  ]| better than I deserve ~~ and I write now to$9$ beg an immediate 
314:433,25[C  ]| answer$0$. I want$1$ to$9$ know the state$0$ of things at 
314:433,26[C  ]| Mansfield*Park, and you, no$2$ doubt$0$, are perfectly able to$9$ 
314:433,27[C  ]| give it. One should be a brute not to$9$ feel for$4$ the distress$0$ 
314:433,28[C  ]| they are in$4$ ~~ and from what I hear, poor $MP#G$Mr%*Bertram has 
314:433,29[C  ]| a bad chance$0$ of ultimate recovery. I thought$1$ little of 
314:433,30[C  ]| his illness at first. I looked upon$4$ him as the sort of person 
314:433,31[C  ]| to$9$ be made a fuss with, and to$9$ make$1$ a fuss himself in$4$ any 
314:433,32[C  ]| trifling disorder, and was chiefly concerned for$4$ those who$6#1$ 
314:433,33[C  ]| had to$9$ nurse$1$ him; but now it is confidently asserted that$3$ 
314:433,34[C  ]| he is really in$4$ a decline, that$3$ the symptoms are most 
314:433,35[C  ]| alarming, and that$3$ part$0$ of the family, at least, are aware 
314:433,36[C  ]| of it. If it be so$5#2$, I am sure you must be included in$4$ that$6#2$ 
314:433,37[C  ]| part$0$, that$6#2$ discerning part$0$, and therefore intreat you to$9$ 
314:433,38[C  ]| let me know how far I have been rightly informed. I need$1$ 
314:434,01[C  ]| not say how rejoiced I shall be to$9$ hear there has been 
314:434,02[C  ]| any mistake$0$, but the report$0$ is so$5#1$ prevalent, that$3$ I confess 
314:434,03[C  ]| I cannot help$1$ trembling. To$9$ have such a fine young 
314:434,04[C  ]| man cut$1$ off in$4$ the flower of his days, is most melancholy$2$. 
314:434,05[C  ]| Poor $MP#E$Sir*Thomas will$1$ feel it dreadfully. I really am quite 
314:434,06[C  ]| agitated on$4$ the subject$0$. $MP#A$Fanny, $MP#A$Fanny, I see you smile$1$, 
314:434,07[C  ]| and look$1$ cunning, but upon$4$ my honour$0$, I never bribed 
314:434,08[C  ]| a physician in$4$ my life. Poor young man! ~~ If he is to$9$ 
314:434,09[C  ]| die$1$, there will$1$ be \two\ poor young men less in$4$ the world; 
314:434,10[C  ]| and with a fearless face$0$ and bold voice would I say to$4$ any*one, 
314:434,11[C  ]| that$3$ wealth and consequence could fall$1$ into no$2$ hands 
314:434,12[C  ]| more deserving of them. It was a foolish precipitation 
314:434,13[C  ]| last$2$ Christmas, but the evil of a few days may$1$ be blotted 
314:434,14[C  ]| out$5$ in$4$ part$0$. Varnish and gilding hide many stains. It 
314:434,15[C  ]| will$1$ be but the loss of the Esquire after$4$ his name$0$. With 
314:434,16[C  ]| real affection, $MP#A$Fanny, like$4$ mine$6$, more might be overlooked. 
314:434,17[C  ]| Write to$4$ me by$4$ return$0$ of post, judge$1$ of my 
314:434,18[C  ]| anxiety, and do not trifle$1$ with it. Tell me the real truth, 
314:434,19[C  ]| as you have it from the fountain head. And now, do not 
314:434,20[C  ]| trouble$1$ yourself to$9$ be ashamed of either my feelings or 
314:434,21[C  ]| your own$2$. Believe me, they are not only natural$2$, they 
314:434,22[C  ]| are philanthropic and virtuous. I put it to$4$ your conscience, 
314:434,23[C  ]| whether ""$MP#B$Sir*Edmund"" would not do more good 
314:434,24[C  ]| with all the $MP#E$Bertram property, than any other possible 
314:434,25[C  ]| ""Sir."" Had the $MP#M1$Grants been at home, I would not have 
314:434,26[C  ]| troubled you, but you are now the only one I can apply 
314:434,27[C  ]| to$4$ for$4$ the truth, his sisters not being$1$ within my reach$0$. 
314:434,28[C  ]| $MP#H$Mrs%*R% has been spending the Easter with the $MP#ZB$Aylmers 
314:434,29[C  ]| at Twickenham (as to$9$ be sure you know), and is not yet 
314:434,30[C  ]| returned; and $MP#I$Julia is with the cousins, who$6#1$ live near$4$ 
314:434,31[C  ]| Bedford*Square; but I forgot their name$0$ and street. 
314:434,32[C  ]| Could I immediately apply to$4$ either, however, I should 
314:434,33[C  ]| still$5$ prefer you, because it strikes me, that$3$ they have all 
314:434,34[C  ]| along$5$ been so$5#1$ unwilling to$9$ have their own$2$ amusements 
314:434,35[C  ]| cut$1$ up$5$, as to$9$ shut their eyes to$4$ the truth. I suppose, 
314:434,36[C  ]| $MP#H$Mrs%*R%'s Easter holidays will$1$ not last$1$ much longer; no$2$ 
314:434,37[C  ]| doubt$0$ they are thorough holidays to$4$ her. The $MP#ZB$Aylmers 
314:434,38[C  ]| are pleasant people; and her husband away, she can have 
314:435,01[C  ]| nothing but enjoyment. I give her credit$0$ for$4$ promoting 
314:435,02[C  ]| his going dutifully down$5$ to$4$ Bath$0#1$, to$9$ fetch his mother; 
314:435,03[C  ]| but how will$1$ she and the dowager agree in$4$ one house? 
314:435,04[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry is not at hand$0$, so$3$ I have nothing to$9$ say from him. 
314:435,05[C  ]| Do not you think $MP#B$Edmund would have been in$4$ town again 
314:435,06[C  ]| long ago, but for$4$ this illness? ~~ Yours ever, $MP#C$Mary." 
314:435,07[C  ]| "I had actually began folding my letter, when $MP#D$Henry 
314:435,08[C  ]| walked in$5$; but he brings no$2$ intelligence to$9$ prevent my 
314:435,09[C  ]| sending it. $MP#H$Mrs%*R% knows a decline is apprehended; he 
314:435,10[C  ]| saw her this morning, she returns$1$ to$4$ Wimpole-Street today, 
314:435,11[C  ]| the old lady is come. Now do not make$1$ yourself 
314:435,12[C  ]| uneasy with any queer fancies$0$, because he has been spending 
314:435,13[C  ]| a few days at Richmond. He does it every spring$0$. 
314:435,14[C  ]| Be assured, he cares$1$ for$4$ nobody but you. At this very 
314:435,15[C  ]| moment, he is wild to$9$ see you, and occupied only in$4$ contriving 
314:435,16[C  ]| the means$0$ for$4$ doing so$5#2$, and for$4$ making his pleasure 
314:435,17[C  ]| conduce to$4$ yours. In$4$ proof, he repeats, and more eagerly, 
314:435,18[C  ]| what he said at Portsmouth, about$4$ our conveying you 
314:435,19[C  ]| home, and I join him in$4$ it with all my soul. Dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
314:435,20[C  ]| write directly, and tell us to$9$ come. It will$1$ do us all good. 
314:435,21[C  ]| He and I can go to$4$ the Parsonage, you know, and be no$2$ 
314:435,22[C  ]| trouble$0$ to$4$ our friends at Mansfield*Park. It would really 
314:435,23[C  ]| be gratifying to$9$ see them all again, and a little addition 
314:435,24[C  ]| of society might be of infinite use$0$ to$4$ them; and, as to$4$ 
314:435,25[C  ]| yourself, you must feel yourself to$9$ be so$5#1$ wanted there, 
314:435,26[C  ]| that$3$ you cannot in$4$ conscience (conscientious as you are,) 
314:435,27[C  ]| keep away, when you have the means$0$ of returning. I have 
314:435,28[C  ]| not time or patience to$9$ give half $MP#D$Henry's messages; be 
314:435,29[C  ]| satisfied, that$3$ the spirit of each and every one is unalterable 
314:435,30[C  ]| affection." 
314:435,31['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's disgust$0$ at the greater part$0$ of this letter, with 
314:435,32['  ]| her extreme$2$ reluctance to$9$ bring the writer of it and her 
314:435,33['  ]| cousin $MP#B$Edmund together, would have made her (as she 
314:435,34['  ]| felt), 
314:435,34@a   | incapable of judging impartially whether the concluding 
314:435,35@a   | offer$0$ might be accepted or not. To$4$ herself, individually, 
314:435,36@a   | it was most tempting. To$9$ be finding herself, 
314:435,37@a   | perhaps, within three days, transported to$4$ Mansfield, was 
314:435,38@a   | an image of the greatest felicity ~~ but it would have been a 
314:436,01@a   | material$2$ drawback, to$9$ be owing such felicity to$4$ persons 
314:436,02@a   | in$4$ whose$6#1$ feelings and conduct$0$, at the present$2$ moment, 
314:436,03@a   | she saw so$5#1$ much to$9$ condemn; the sister's feelings ~~ 
314:436,04@a   | the brother's conduct$0$ ~~ \her\ cold-hearted ambition ~~ \his\ 
314:436,05@a   | thoughtless vanity. To$9$ have him still$5$ the acquaintance, 
314:436,06@a   | the flirt, perhaps, of $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth! ~~ She was mortified. 
314:436,07@a   | She had thought$1$ better of him. Happily, however, she 
314:436,08@a   | was not left to$9$ weigh and decide between opposite inclinations 
314:436,09@a   | and doubtful notions of right$0$; there was no$2$ occasion$0$ 
314:436,10@a   | to$9$ determine, whether she ought to$9$ keep $MP#B$Edmund and 
314:436,11@a   | $MP#C$Mary asunder or not. She had a rule to$9$ apply to$4$, which$6#1$ 
314:436,12@a   | settled every*thing. Her awe of her uncle, and her dread$0$ 
314:436,13@a   | of taking a liberty with him, made it instantly plain to$4$ her, 
314:436,14@a   | what she had to$9$ do. She must absolutely decline the 
314:436,15@a   | proposal. If he wanted, he would send for$4$ her; and even$5$ 
314:436,16@a   | to$9$ offer$1$ an early return$0$, was a presumption which$6#1$ hardly 
314:436,17@a   | any*thing would have seemed to$9$ justify. 
314:436,17['  ]| She thanked 
314:436,18['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, but gave a decided negative. ~~ 
314:436,18[A  ]| "Her uncle, 
314:436,19[A  ]| she understood, meant to$9$ fetch her; and as her cousin's 
314:436,20[A  ]| illness had continued so$5#1$ many weeks without her being$1$ 
314:436,21[A  ]| thought$1$ at all necessary, she must suppose her return$0$ 
314:436,22[A  ]| would be unwelcome at present$0#1$, and that$3$ she should be 
314:436,23[A  ]| felt an incumbrance." 
314:436,24['  ]| Her representation of her cousin's state$0$ at this time, 
314:436,25['  ]| was exactly according to$4$ her own$2$ belief of it, 
314:436,25@a   | and such 
314:436,26@a   | as she supposed would convey to$4$ the sanguine mind$0$ of 
314:436,27@a   | her correspondent, the hope$0$ of every*thing she was 
314:436,28@a   | wishing for$4$. $MP#B$Edmund would be forgiven for$4$ being$1$ a 
314:436,29@a   | clergyman, it seemed, under certain conditions of wealth; 
314:436,30@a   | and this, she suspected, was all the conquest of prejudice, 
314:436,31@a   | which$6#1$ he was so$5#1$ ready to$9$ congratulate himself upon$4$. 
314:436,32@a   | She had only learnt to$9$ think nothing of consequence but 
314:436,33@a   | money. 
315:437,01['  ]| As $MP#A$Fanny could not doubt$0$ that$3$ her answer$0$ was conveying 
315:437,02['  ]| a real disappointment, she was rather in$4$ expectation, 
315:437,03['  ]| from her knowledge of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's temper, 
315:437,04['  ]| of being$1$ urged again; and though no$2$ second$2$ letter arrived 
315:437,05['  ]| for$4$ the space of a week, she had still$5$ the same feeling when 
315:437,06['  ]| it did come. 
315:437,07['  ]| On$4$ receiving it, she could instantly decide on$4$ its containing 
315:437,08['  ]| little writing, and was persuaded of its having the 
315:437,09['  ]| air of a letter of haste and business. Its object$0$ was unquestionable; 
315:437,10['  ]| and two moments were enough to$9$ start$1$ 
315:437,11['  ]| the probability of its being$1$ merely to$9$ give her notice$0$ that$3$ 
315:437,12['  ]| they should be in$4$ Portsmouth that$6#2$ very day, and to$9$ throw$1$ 
315:437,13['  ]| her into all the agitation of doubting what she ought to$9$ 
315:437,14['  ]| do in$4$ such a case. If two moments, however, can surround 
315:437,15['  ]| with difficulties, a third can disperse them; and 
315:437,16['  ]| before$3$ she had opened the letter, the possibility of $MP#D$Mr% 
315:437,17['  ]| and $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's having applied to$4$ her uncle and 
315:437,18['  ]| obtained his permission, was giving her ease$0$. This was 
315:437,19['  ]| the letter. 
315:437,20[C  ]| "A most scandalous, ill-natured rumour has just$5$ reached 
315:437,21[C  ]| me, and I write, dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, to$9$ warn you against giving 
315:437,22[C  ]| the least credit$0$ to$4$ it, should it spread into the country. 
315:437,23[C  ]| Depend upon$4$ it there is some mistake$0$, and that$3$ a day or 
315:437,24[C  ]| two will$1$ clear$1$ it up$5$ ~~ at any rate$0$, that$3$ $MP#D$Henry is blameless, 
315:437,25[C  ]| and in$4$ spite$8$ of a moment's \etourderie\ thinks of nobody but 
315:437,26[C  ]| you. Say not a word of it ~~ hear nothing, surmise$1$ nothing, 
315:437,27[C  ]| whisper$1$ nothing, till I write again. I am sure it will$1$ be 
315:437,28[C  ]| all hushed up$5$, and nothing proved but $MP#K$Rushworth's folly. 
315:437,29[C  ]| If they are gone, I would lay$1#1$ my life they are only gone 
315:437,30[C  ]| to$4$ Mansfield*Park, and $MP#I$Julia with them. But why would 
315:437,31[C  ]| not you let us come for$4$ you? I wish$1$ you may$1$ not repent 
315:437,32[C  ]| it. 
315:437,33[C  ]| "Yours, &c%" 
315:438,01['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny stood aghast. 
315:438,01@a   | As no$2$ scandalous, ill-natured 
315:438,02@a   | rumour had reached her, it was impossible for$4$ her to$9$ 
315:438,03@a   | understand much of this strange letter. She could only 
315:438,04@a   | perceive that$3$ it must relate to$4$ Wimpole*Street and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
315:438,05@a   | and only conjecture$1$ that$3$ something very imprudent 
315:438,06@a   | had just$5$ occurred in$4$ that$6#2$ quarter$0#2$ to$9$ draw the 
315:438,07@a   | notice$0$ of the world, and to$9$ excite her jealousy, in$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's 
315:438,08@a   | apprehension, if she heard it. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford 
315:438,09@a   | need$1$ not be alarmed for$4$ her. She was only sorry for$4$ the 
315:438,10@a   | parties concerned and for$4$ Mansfield, if the report$0$ should 
315:438,11@a   | spread so$5#1$ far; but she hoped it might not. If the $MP#K1$Rushworths 
315:438,12@a   | were gone themselves to$4$ Mansfield, as was to$9$ be 
315:438,13@a   | inferred from what $MP#C$Miss*Crawford said, it was not likely 
315:438,14@a   | that$3$ any*thing unpleasant should have preceded them, 
315:438,15@a   | or at least should make$1$ any impression. 
315:438,16@a   | As to$4$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, she hoped it might give him a 
315:438,17@a   | knowledge of his own$2$ disposition, convince him that$3$ he 
315:438,18@a   | was not capable of being$1$ steadily attached to$4$ any one 
315:438,19@a   | woman in$4$ the world, and shame$1$ him from persisting any 
315:438,20@a   | longer in$4$ addressing herself. 
315:438,21@a   | It was very strange! She had begun to$9$ think he really 
315:438,22@a   | loved her, and to$9$ fancy$1$ his affection for$4$ her something 
315:438,23@a   | more than common$2$ ~~ and his sister still$5$ said that$3$ he cared 
315:438,24@a   | for$4$ nobody else. Yet there must have been some marked 
315:438,25@a   | display$0$ of attentions to$4$ her cousin, there must have been 
315:438,26@a   | some strong indiscretion, since her correspondent was not 
315:438,27@a   | of a sort to$9$ regard$1$ a slight$2$ one. 
315:438,28['  ]| Very uncomfortable she was and must continue till she 
315:438,29['  ]| heard from $MP#C$Miss*Crawford again. It was impossible to$9$ 
315:438,30['  ]| banish the letter from her thoughts, and she could not 
315:438,31['  ]| relieve herself by$4$ speaking of it to$4$ any human being$0$. 
315:438,32@a   | $MP#C$Miss*Crawford need$1$ not have urged secrecy with so$5#1$ much 
315:438,33@a   | warmth, she might have trusted to$4$ her sense of what was 
315:438,34@a   | due$2$ to$4$ her cousin. 
315:438,35['  ]| The next day came and brought no$2$ second$2$ letter. 
315:438,36['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was disappointed. She could still$5$ think of little 
315:438,37['  ]| else all the morning; but when her father came back$5$ in$4$ 
315:438,38['  ]| the afternoon with the daily newspaper as usual, she was 
315:439,01['  ]| so$5#1$ far from expecting any elucidation through$4$ such a 
315:439,02['  ]| channel, that$3$ the subject$0$ was for$4$ a moment out$5$ of her 
315:439,03['  ]| head$0$. 
315:439,04['  ]| She was deep in$4$ other musing. 
315:439,04@a   | The remembrance of 
315:439,05@a   | her first evening in$4$ that$6#2$ room, of her father and his newspaper 
315:439,06@a   | came across$4$ her. No$2$ candle was \now\ wanted. The 
315:439,07@a   | sun was yet an hour and half above$4$ the horizon. She 
315:439,08@a   | felt that$3$ she had, indeed, been three months there; and 
315:439,09@a   | the sun's rays falling strongly into the parlour, instead 
315:439,10@a   | of cheering, made her still$5$ more melancholy$2$; for$3$ sun-shine 
315:439,11@a   | appeared to$4$ her a totally different thing in$4$ a town and 
315:439,12@a   | in$4$ the country. Here, its power was only a glare, a stifling, 
315:439,13@a   | sickly glare, serving but to$9$ bring forward$5$ stains and 
315:439,14@a   | dirt that$6#1$ might otherwise have slept. There was neither 
315:439,15@a   | health nor gaiety in$4$ sun-shine in$4$ a town. She sat in$4$ a 
315:439,16@a   | blaze of oppressive heat$0$, in$4$ a cloud$0$ of moving dust; and 
315:439,17@a   | her eyes could only wander from the walls marked by$4$ her 
315:439,18@a   | father's head$0$, to$4$ the table cut$1$ and knotched by$4$ her 
315:439,19@a   | brothers, where stood the tea-board never thoroughly 
315:439,20@a   | cleaned, the cups and saucers wiped in$4$ streaks, the milk 
315:439,21@a   | a mixture of motes floating in$4$ thin blue, and the bread 
315:439,22@a   | and butter growing every minute$0$ more greasy than even$5$ 
315:439,23@a   | $MP#V$Rebecca's hands had first produced it. Her father read 
315:439,24@a   | his newspaper, and her mother lamented over the ragged 
315:439,25@a   | carpet as usual, while$3$ the tea was in$4$ preparation ~~ and 
315:439,26@a   | wished $MP#V$Rebecca would mend it; 
315:439,26['  ]| and $MP#A$Fanny was first 
315:439,27['  ]| roused by$4$ his calling out$5$ to$4$ her, after$4$ humphing and considering 
315:439,28['  ]| over a particular paragraph ~~ 
315:439,28[O  ]| "What's the name$0$ 
315:439,29[O  ]| of your great cousins in$4$ town, $MP#A$Fan?" 
315:439,30['  ]| A moment's recollection enabled her to$9$ say, 
315:439,30[A  ]| "$MP#K$Rushworth, 
315:439,31[A  ]| Sir." 
315:439,32[O  ]| "And don't they live in$4$ Wimpole*Street?" 
315:439,33[A  ]| "Yes, Sir." 
315:439,34[O  ]| "Then, there's the devil to$9$ pay$1$ among them, that's all. 
315:439,35[O  ]| There, 
315:439,35['  ]| (holding out$5$ the paper to$4$ her) ~~ 
315:439,35[O  ]| much good may$1$ 
315:439,36[O  ]| such fine relations do you. I don't know what $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
315:439,37[O  ]| may$1$ think of such matters; he may$1$ be too$5#1$ much of the 
315:439,38[O  ]| courtier and fine gentleman to$9$ like$1$ his daughter the less. 
315:440,01[O  ]| But by$4$ G*** if she belonged to$4$ me, I'd give her the rope's 
315:440,02[O  ]| end$0$ as long as I could stand$1$ over her. A little flogging 
315:440,03[O  ]| for$4$ man and woman too$5#2$, would be the best way of preventing 
315:440,04[O  ]| such things." 
315:440,05['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny read to$4$ herself that$3$ 
315:440,05@z   | "it was with infinite concern$0$ 
315:440,06@z   | the newspaper had to$9$ announce to$4$ the world, a matrimonial 
315:440,07@z   | \fracas\ in$4$ the family of $MP#K$Mr%*R% of Wimpole*Street; 
315:440,08@z   | the beautiful $MP#H$Mrs%*R% whose$6#1$ name$0$ had not long been 
315:440,09@z   | enrolled in$4$ the lists of hymen, and who$6#1$ had promised to$9$ 
315:440,10@z   | become so$5#1$ brilliant a leader in$4$ the fashionable world, 
315:440,11@z   | having quitted her husband's roof in$4$ company with the 
315:440,12@z   | well$5$ known and captivating $MP#D$Mr%*C% the intimate$2$ friend 
315:440,13@z   | and associate$0$ of $MP#K$Mr%*R% and it was not known, even$5$ to$4$ the 
315:440,14@z   | editor of the newspaper, whither they were gone." 
315:440,15[A  ]| "It is a mistake$0$, Sir," 
315:440,15['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny instantly; 
315:440,15[A  ]| "it must 
315:440,16[A  ]| be a mistake$0$ ~~ it cannot be true ~~ it must mean$1$ some other 
315:440,17[A  ]| people." 
315:440,18['  ]| She spoke from the instinctive wish$0$ of delaying shame$0$, 
315:440,19['  ]| she spoke with a resolution which$6#1$ sprung from despair$0$, 
315:440,20['  ]| for$3$ she spoke what she did not, could not believe herself. 
315:440,21@a   | It had been the shock$0$ of conviction as she read. The 
315:440,22@a   | truth rushed on$4$ her; and how she could have spoken at 
315:440,23@a   | all, how she could even$5$ have breathed ~~ was afterwards 
315:440,24@a   | matter of wonder$0$ to$4$ herself. 
315:440,24['  ]| $MP#O$Mr%*Price cared too$5#1$ little about$4$ the report$0$, to$9$ make$1$ her 
315:440,25['  ]| much answer$0$. 
315:440,26[O  ]| "It might be all a lie$0$," 
315:440,26['  ]| he acknowledged; 
315:440,27[O  ]| "but so$5#1$ many fine ladies were going to$4$ the devil now-a-days 
315:440,28[O  ]| that$6#2$ way, that$3$ there was no$2$ answering for$4$ anybody." 
315:440,29[P  ]| "Indeed, I hope$1$ it is not true," 
315:440,29['  ]| said $MP#P$Mrs%*Price plaintively, 
315:440,30[P  ]| "it would be so$5#1$ very shocking! ~~ If I have spoke 
315:440,31[P  ]| once to$4$ $MP#V$Rebecca about$4$ that$6#2$ carpet, I am sure I have 
315:440,32[P  ]| spoke at least a dozen times; have not I, $MP#ZZC$Betsey? 
315:440,33[P  ]| ~~ And it would not be ten minutes work$0$." 
315:440,34['  ]| The horror of a mind$0$ like$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's, as it received the 
315:440,35['  ]| conviction of such guilt, and began to$9$ take in$4$ some part$0$ 
315:440,36['  ]| of the misery that$6#1$ must ensue, can hardly be described. 
315:440,37['  ]| At first, it was a sort of stupefaction; but every moment 
315:440,38['  ]| was quickening her perception of the horrible evil. 
315:440,38@a   | She 
315:441,01@a   | could not doubt$0$; she dared not indulge a hope$0$ of the 
315:441,02@a   | paragraph being$1$ false. $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's letter, which$6#1$ she 
315:441,03@a   | had read so$5#1$ often as to$9$ make$1$ every line her own$2$, was in$4$ 
315:441,04@a   | frightful conformity with it. Her eager defence of her 
315:441,05@a   | brother, her hope$0$ of its being$1$ \hushed up$5$\, her evident agitation, 
315:441,06@a   | were all of a piece with something very bad; and 
315:441,07@a   | if there was a woman of character in$4$ existence, who$6#1$ could 
315:441,08@a   | treat$1$ as a trifle$0$ this sin of the first magnitude, who$6#1$ could 
315:441,09@a   | try to$9$ gloss it over, and desire$1$ to$9$ have it unpunished, she 
315:441,10@a   | could believe $MP#C$Miss*Crawford to$9$ be the woman! Now she 
315:441,11@a   | could see her own$2$ mistake$0$ as to$4$ \who$6#1$\ were gone ~~ or \said\ 
315:441,12@a   | to$9$ be gone. It was not $MP#K$Mr% and $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth, it was 
315:441,13@a   | $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth and $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
315:441,14['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny seemed to$4$ herself never to$9$ have been shocked 
315:441,15['  ]| before$5$. 
315:441,15@a   | There was no$2$ possibility of rest$0#2$. 
315:441,15['  ]| The evening 
315:441,16['  ]| passed, without a pause$0$ of misery, the night was totally 
315:441,17['  ]| sleepless. She passed only from feelings of sickness to$4$
315:441,18['  ]| shudderings of horror; and from hot fits of fever to$4$ cold$0$. 
315:441,19['  ]| The event was so$5#1$ shocking, that$3$ there were moments even$5$ 
315:441,20['  ]| when her heart revolted from it as impossible ~~ when she 
315:441,21['  ]| thought$1$ it could not be. 
315:441,21@a   | A woman married only six 
315:441,22@a   | months ago, a man professing himself devoted, even$5$ 
315:441,23@a   | \engaged\, to$4$ another ~~ that$6#2$ other her near$2$ relation ~~ the 
315:441,24@a   | whole$2$ family, both families connected as they were by$4$ 
315:441,25@a   | tie upon$4$ tie, all friends, all intimate$2$ together! ~~ it was too$5#1$ 
315:441,26@a   | horrible a confusion of guilt, too$5#1$ gross a complication of 
315:441,27@a   | evil, for$4$ human nature, not in$4$ a state$0$ of utter$2$ barbarism, 
315:441,28@a   | to$9$ be capable of! ~~ 
315:441,28['  ]| yet her judgment told her it was so$5#2$. 
315:441,29@a   | \His\ unsettled affections, wavering with his vanity, 
315:441,30@a   | $MP#H$Maria's decided attachment, and no$2$ sufficient principle 
315:441,31@a   | on$4$ either side$0$, gave it possibility ~~ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's letter 
315:441,32@a   | stampt it a fact. 
315:441,33@a   | What would be the consequence? Whom$6#2$ would it not 
315:441,34@a   | injure? Whose$6#2$ views might it not affect? Whose$6#2$ peace 
315:441,35@a   | would it not cut$1$ up$5$ for*ever? $MP#C$Miss*Crawford herself ~~ 
315:441,36@a   | $MP#B$Edmund; but it was dangerous, perhaps, to$9$ tread such 
315:441,37@a   | ground. 
315:441,37['  ]| She confined herself, or tried to$9$ confine herself 
315:441,38['  ]| to$4$ the simple$2$, indubitable family-misery which$6#1$ must 
315:442,01['  ]| envelope all, if it were indeed a matter of certified guilt 
315:442,02['  ]| and public$2$ exposure. 
315:442,02@a   | The mother's sufferings, the father's 
315:442,03['  ]| ~~ there, she paused. 
315:442,03@a   | $MP#I$Julia's, $MP#G$Tom's, $MP#B$Edmund's ~~ 
315:442,03['  ]| there, 
315:442,04['  ]| a yet longer pause$0$. 
315:442,04@a   | They were the two on$4$ whom$6#1$ it would 
315:442,05@a   | fall$1$ most horribly. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's parental solicitude, and 
315:442,06@a   | high sense of honour$0$ and decorum, $MP#B$Edmund's upright 
315:442,07@a   | principles, unsuspicious temper, and genuine strength of 
315:442,08@a   | feeling, made her think it scarcely possible for$4$ them to$9$ 
315:442,09@a   | support$1$ life and reason$0$ under such disgrace$0$; and it appeared 
315:442,10@a   | to$4$ her, that$3$ as far as this world alone was concerned, 
315:442,11@a   | the greatest blessing to$4$ every*one of kindred with $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth 
315:442,12@a   | would be instant$2$ annihilation. 
315:442,13['  ]| Nothing happened the next day, or the next, to$9$ weaken 
315:442,14['  ]| her terrors. Two posts came in$5$, and brought no$2$ refutation, 
315:442,15['  ]| public$2$ or private$2$. There was no$2$ second$2$ letter to$9$ 
315:442,16['  ]| explain away the first, from $MP#C$Miss*Crawford; there was 
315:442,17['  ]| no$2$ intelligence from Mansfield, though it was now full 
315:442,18['  ]| time for$4$ her to$9$ hear again from her aunt. This was an 
315:442,19['  ]| evil omen. She had, indeed, scarcely the shadow of a hope$0$ 
315:442,20['  ]| to$9$ soothe her mind$0$, and was reduced to$4$ so$5#1$ low and wan 
315:442,21['  ]| and trembling a condition$0$ as no$2$ mother ~~ not unkind, 
315:442,22['  ]| except $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, could have overlooked, when the third 
315:442,23['  ]| day did bring the sickening knock$0$, and a letter was again 
315:442,24['  ]| put into her hands. It bore$1#1$ the London postmark, and 
315:442,25['  ]| came from $MP#B$Edmund. 
315:442,26[B  ]| "Dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny, 
315:442,27[B  ]| You know our present$2$ wretchedness. May$1$ God support$1$ 
315:442,28[B  ]| you under \your\ share$0$. We have been here two days, 
315:442,29[B  ]| but there is nothing to$9$ be done. They cannot be traced. 
315:442,30[B  ]| You may$1$ not have heard of the last$2$ blow ~~ $MP#I$Julia's elopement; 
315:442,31[B  ]| she is gone to$4$ Scotland with $MP#R$Yates. She left 
315:442,32[B  ]| London a few hours before$3$ we entered it. At any other 
315:442,33[B  ]| time, this would have been felt dreadfully. Now it seems 
315:442,34[B  ]| nothing, yet it is an heavy aggravation. My father is 
315:442,35[B  ]| not overpowered. More cannot be hoped. He is still$5$ 
315:442,36[B  ]| able to$9$ think and act$1$; and I write, by$4$ his desire$0$, to$9$ propose 
315:442,37[B  ]| your returning home. He is anxious to$9$ get you there 
315:442,38[B  ]| for$4$ my mother's sake. I shall be at Portsmouth the 
315:443,01[B  ]| morning after$3$ you receive this, and hope$1$ to$9$ find you ready 
315:443,02[B  ]| to$9$ set$1$ off for$4$ Mansfield. My Father wishes$1$ you to$9$ invite 
315:443,03[B  ]| $MP#V$Susan to$9$ go with you, for$4$ a few months. Settle it as you 
315:443,04[B  ]| like$1$; say what is proper; I am sure you will$1$ feel such 
315:443,05[B  ]| an instance$0$ of his kindness at such a moment! Do justice 
315:443,06[B  ]| to$4$ his meaning, however I may$1$ confuse it. You may$1$ 
315:443,07[B  ]| imagine something of my present$2$ state$0$. There is no$2$ end$0$ 
315:443,08[B  ]| of the evil let loose upon$4$ us. You will$1$ see me early, by$4$ 
315:443,09[B  ]| the mail. Your's, &c%" 
315:443,10['  ]| Never had $MP#A$Fanny more wanted a cordial$0$. Never had 
315:443,11['  ]| she felt such a one as this letter contained. 
315:443,11@a   | To-morrow! 
315:443,12@a   | to$9$ leave$1$ Portsmouth to-morrow! She was, she felt she 
315:443,13@a   | was, in$4$ the greatest danger of being$1$ exquisitely happy, 
315:443,14@a   | while$3$ so$5#1$ many were miserable. The evil which$6#1$ brought 
315:443,15@a   | such good to$4$ her! She dreaded lest she should learn to$9$ 
315:443,16@a   | be insensible of it. To$9$ be going so$5#1$ soon, sent for$5$ so$5#1$ kindly, 
315:443,17@a   | sent for$5$ as a comfort$0$, and with leave$0$ to$9$ take $MP#V$Susan, was 
315:443,18@a   | altogether such a combination of blessings as set$1$ her heart 
315:443,19@a   | in$4$ a glow, and for$4$ a time, seemed to$9$ distance$1$ every pain$0$, 
315:443,20@a   | and make$1$ her incapable of suitably sharing the distress$0$ 
315:443,21@a   | even$5$ of those whose$6#1$ distress$0$ she thought$1$ of most. $MP#I$Julia's 
315:443,22@a   | elopement could affect her comparatively but little; she 
315:443,23@a   | was amazed and shocked; but it could not occupy her, 
315:443,24@a   | could not dwell on$4$ her mind$0$. She was obliged to$9$ call$1$ 
315:443,25@a   | herself to$9$ think of it, and acknowledge it to$9$ be terrible 
315:443,26@a   | and grievous, or it was escaping her, in$4$ the midst of all 
315:443,27@a   | the agitating, pressing joyful cares$0$ attending this summons 
315:443,28@a   | to$4$ herself. 
315:443,29['  ]| There is nothing like$4$ employment, active, indispensable 
315:443,30['  ]| employment, for$4$ relieving sorrow. Employment, even$5$ 
315:443,31['  ]| melancholy$0$, may$1$ dispel melancholy$0$, and her occupations 
315:443,32['  ]| were hopeful. 
315:443,32@a   | She had so$5#1$ much to$9$ do, that$3$ not even$5$ the 
315:443,33@a   | horrible story of $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth (now fixed to$4$ the last$2$ 
315:443,34@a   | point$0$ of certainty), could affect her as it had done before$5$. 
315:443,35@a   | She had not time to$9$ be miserable. Within twenty-four 
315:443,36@a   | hours she was hoping to$9$ be gone; her father and mother 
315:443,37@a   | must be spoken to$5$, $MP#V$Susan prepared, every*thing got ready. 
315:443,38['  ]| Business followed business; the day was hardly long 
315:444,01['  ]| enough. The happiness she was imparting too$5#2$, happiness 
315:444,02['  ]| very little alloyed by$4$ the black communication which$6#1$ must 
315:444,03['  ]| briefly precede it ~~ the joyful consent$0$ of her father and 
315:444,04['  ]| mother to$4$ $MP#V$Susan's going with her ~~ the general$2$ satisfaction 
315:444,05['  ]| with which$6#1$ the going of both seemed regarded ~~ and the 
315:444,06['  ]| ecstacy of $MP#V$Susan herself, was all serving to$9$ support$1$ her 
315:444,07['  ]| spirits. 
315:444,08['  ]| The affliction of the $MP#E1$Bertrams was little felt in$4$ the 
315:444,09['  ]| family. $MP#P$Mrs%*Price talked of her poor sister for$4$ a few 
315:444,10['  ]| minutes ~~ but 
315:444,10@p   | how to$9$ find any*thing to$9$ hold$1$ $MP#V$Susan's 
315:444,11@p   | clothes, because $MP#V$Rebecca took away all the boxes and 
315:444,12@p   | spoilt them, 
315:444,12['  ]| was much more in$4$ her thoughts, and as for$4$ 
315:444,13['  ]| $MP#V$Susan, now unexpectedly gratified in$4$ the first wish$0$ of her 
315:444,14['  ]| heart, and knowing nothing personally of those who$6#1$ had 
315:444,15['  ]| sinned, or of those who$6#1$ were sorrowing ~~ if she could help$1$ 
315:444,16['  ]| rejoicing from beginning to$4$ end$0$, it was as much as ought to$9$ 
315:444,17['  ]| be expected from human virtue at fourteen. 
315:444,18['  ]| As nothing was really left for$4$ the decision of $MP#P$Mrs%*Price, 
315:444,19['  ]| or the good offices of $MP#V$Rebecca, every*thing was rationally 
315:444,20['  ]| and duly accomplished, and the girls were ready for$4$ the 
315:444,21['  ]| morrow. The advantage of much sleep$0$ to$9$ prepare them 
315:444,22['  ]| for$4$ their journey, was impossible. The cousin who$6#1$ was 
315:444,23['  ]| travelling towards them, could hardly have less than 
315:444,24['  ]| visited their agitated spirits, one all happiness, the other all 
315:444,25['  ]| varying and indescribable perturbation. 
315:444,26['  ]| By$4$ eight in$4$ the morning, $MP#B$Edmund was in$4$ the house. 
315:444,27['  ]| The girls heard his entrance from above$5$, and $MP#A$Fanny went 
315:444,28['  ]| down$5$. 
315:444,28@a   | The idea of immediately seeing him, with the 
315:444,29@a   | knowledge of what he must be suffering, brought back$5$ all 
315:444,30@a   | her own$2$ first feelings. He so$5#1$ near$4$ her, and in$4$ misery. 
315:444,30['  ]| She 
315:444,31['  ]| was ready to$9$ sink, as she entered the parlour. He was 
315:444,32['  ]| alone, and met her instantly; and she found herself pressed 
315:444,33['  ]| to$4$ his heart with only these words, just$5$ articulate$2$, 
315:444,33[B  ]| "My 
315:444,34[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny ~~ my only sister ~~ my only comfort$0$ now." 
315:444,34['  ]| She 
315:444,35['  ]| could say nothing; nor for$4$ some minutes could he say 
315:444,36['  ]| more. 
315:444,37['  ]| He turned away to$9$ recover himself, and when he spoke 
315:444,38['  ]| again, though his voice still$5$ faltered, his manner showed 
315:445,01['  ]| the wish$0$ of self-command, and the resolution of avoiding 
315:445,02['  ]| any farther allusion. 
315:445,02[B  ]| "Have you breakfasted? ~~ When 
315:445,03[B  ]| shall you be ready? ~~ Does $MP#V$Susan go?" 
315:445,03['  ]| were questions 
315:445,04['  ]| following each other rapidly. His great object$0$ was to$9$ be off 
315:445,05['  ]| as soon as possible. When Mansfield was considered, time 
315:445,06['  ]| was precious; and the state$0$ of his own$2$ mind$0$ made him 
315:445,07['  ]| find relief only in$4$ motion. It was settled that$3$ he should 
315:445,08['  ]| order the carriage to$4$ the door in$4$ half an hour; $MP#A$Fanny 
315:445,09['  ]| answered for$4$ their having breakfasted, and being$1$ quite 
315:445,10['  ]| ready in$4$ half an hour. 
315:445,10@b   | He had already ate, and declined 
315:445,11@b   | staying for$4$ their meal. He would walk$1$ round$4$ the ramparts, 
315:445,12@b   | and join them with the carriage. 
315:445,12['  ]| He was gone again, glad 
315:445,13['  ]| to$9$ get away even$5$ from $MP#A$Fanny. 
315:445,14@a   | He looked very ill; evidently suffering under violent 
315:445,15@a   | emotions, which$6#1$ he was determined to$9$ suppress. She knew 
315:445,16@a   | it must be so$5#2$, but it was terrible to$4$ her. 
315:445,17['  ]| The carriage came; and he entered the house again at 
315:445,18['  ]| the same moment, just$5$ in$4$ time to$9$ spend a few minutes with 
315:445,19['  ]| the family, and be a witness$0$ ~~ but that$3$ he saw nothing ~~ of 
315:445,20['  ]| the tranquil manner in$4$ which$6#1$ the daughters were parted 
315:445,21['  ]| with, and just$5$ in$4$ time to$9$ prevent their sitting down$5$ to$4$ the 
315:445,22['  ]| breakfast*table, which$6#1$ by$4$ dint of much unusual activity, 
315:445,23['  ]| was quite and completely ready as the carriage drove from 
315:445,24['  ]| the door. $MP#A$Fanny's last$2$ meal in$4$ her father's house was in$4$ 
315:445,25['  ]| character with her first; she was dismissed from it as 
315:445,26['  ]| hospitably as she had been welcomed. 
315:445,27['  ]| How her heart swelled with joy and gratitude, as she 
315:445,28['  ]| passed the barriers of Portsmouth, and how $MP#V$Susan's face$0$ 
315:445,29['  ]| wore its broadest smiles, may$1$ be easily conceived. Sitting 
315:445,30['  ]| forwards, however, and screened by$4$ her bonnet, those 
315:445,31['  ]| smiles were unseen. 
315:445,32['  ]| The journey was likely to$9$ be a silent one. $MP#B$Edmund's 
315:445,33['  ]| deep sighs often reached $MP#A$Fanny. Had he been alone with 
315:445,34['  ]| her, his heart must have opened in$4$ spite$8$ of every resolution; 
315:445,35['  ]| but $MP#V$Susan's presence drove him quite into himself, and his 
315:445,36['  ]| attempts to$9$ talk$1$ on$4$ indifferent subjects could never be long 
315:445,37['  ]| supported. 
315:445,38['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny watched him with never-failing solicitude, and 
315:446,01['  ]| sometimes catching his eye, received an affectionate smile$0$, 
315:446,02['  ]| which$6#1$ comforted her; but the first day's journey passed 
315:446,03['  ]| without her hearing a word from him on$4$ the subjects that$6#1$ 
315:446,04['  ]| were weighing him down$5$. The next morning produced 
315:446,05['  ]| a little more. Just$5$ before$4$ their setting out$5$ from Oxford, 
315:446,06['  ]| while$3$ $MP#V$Susan was stationed at a window, in$4$ eager observation 
315:446,07['  ]| of the departure of a large family from the inn, the 
315:446,08['  ]| other two were standing by$4$ the fire$0$; and $MP#B$Edmund, 
315:446,09['  ]| particularly struck by$4$ the alteration in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's looks$0$, and 
315:446,10['  ]| from his ignorance of the daily evils of her father's house, 
315:446,11['  ]| attributing an undue share$0$ of the change$0$, attributing \all\ to$4$ 
315:446,12['  ]| the recent event, took her hand$0$, and said in$4$ a low, but very 
315:446,13['  ]| expressive tone, 
315:446,13[B  ]| "No$2$ wonder$0$ ~~ you must feel it ~~ you must 
315:446,14[B  ]| suffer. How a man who$6#1$ had once loved, could desert$1$ you! 
315:446,15[B  ]| But \your's\ ~~ your regard$0$ was new compared with ~~ 
315:446,16[B  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, think of \me\!" 
315:446,17['  ]| The first division of their journey occupied a long day, 
315:446,18['  ]| and brought them almost knocked up$5$, to$4$ Oxford; but the 
315:446,19['  ]| second$2$ was over at a much earlier hour. They were in$4$ the 
315:446,20['  ]| environs of Mansfield long before$4$ the usual dinner-time, 
315:446,21['  ]| and as they approached the beloved place$0$, the hearts of 
315:446,22['  ]| both sisters sank a little. $MP#A$Fanny began to$9$ dread$1$ the 
315:446,23['  ]| meeting with her aunts and $MP#G$Tom, under so$5#1$ dreadful 
315:446,24['  ]| a humiliation; and $MP#V$Susan to$9$ feel with some anxiety, that$3$ 
315:446,25['  ]| all her best manners, all her lately acquired knowledge of 
315:446,26['  ]| what was practised here, was on$4$ the point$0$ of being$1$ called 
315:446,27['  ]| into action. Visions of good and ill*breeding, of old 
315:446,28['  ]| vulgarisms and new gentilities were before$4$ her; and she 
315:446,29['  ]| was meditating much upon$4$ silver forks, napkins, and 
315:446,30['  ]| finger glasses. $MP#A$Fanny had been every*where awake$2$ to$4$ the 
315:446,31['  ]| difference of the country since February; but, when they 
315:446,32['  ]| entered the Park, her perceptions and her pleasures were of 
315:446,33['  ]| the keenest sort. It was three months, full three months, 
315:446,34['  ]| since her quitting it; and the change$0$ was from winter to$4$ 
315:446,35['  ]| summer. Her eye fell every*where on$4$ lawns and plantations 
315:446,36['  ]| of the freshest green; and the trees, though not fully 
315:446,37['  ]| clothed, were in$4$ that$6#2$ delightful state$0$, when farther beauty 
315:446,38['  ]| is known to$9$ be at hand$0$, and when, while$3$ much is actually 
315:447,01['  ]| given to$4$ the sight, more yet remains$1$ for$4$ the imagination. 
315:447,02['  ]| Her enjoyment, however, was for$4$ herself alone. $MP#B$Edmund 
315:447,03['  ]| could not share$1$ it. She looked at him, but he was leaning 
315:447,04['  ]| back$5$, sunk in$4$ a deeper gloom than ever, and with eyes 
315:447,05['  ]| closed as if the view$0$ of cheerfulness oppressed him, and the 
315:447,06['  ]| lovely scenes of home must be shut out$5$. 
315:447,07['  ]| It made her melancholy$2$ again; and the knowledge of 
315:447,08['  ]| what must be enduring there, invested even$5$ the house, 
315:447,09['  ]| modern, airy, and well$5$ situated as it was, with a melancholy$2$ 
315:447,10['  ]| aspect. 
315:447,11['  ]| By$4$ one of the suffering party within, they were expected 
315:447,12['  ]| with such impatience as she had never known before$5$. 
315:447,13['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny had scarcely passed the solemn-looking servants, 
315:447,14['  ]| when $MP#F$Lady*Bertram came from the drawing-room to$9$ meet$1$ 
315:447,15['  ]| her; came with no$2$ indolent step$0$; and, falling on$4$ her neck, 
315:447,16['  ]| said, 
315:447,16[F  ]| "Dear$2#1$ $MP#A$Fanny! now I shall be comfortable." 
316:448,01['  ]| It had been a miserable party, each of the three 
316:448,02['  ]| believing themselves most miserable. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
316:448,03['  ]| however, as most attached to$4$ $MP#H$Maria, was really the 
316:448,04['  ]| greatest sufferer. $MP#H$Maria was her first favourite$0$, the 
316:448,05['  ]| dearest of all; the match$0$ had been her own$2$ contriving, 
316:448,06['  ]| as she had been wont with such pride of heart to$9$ feel and 
316:448,07['  ]| say, and this conclusion of it almost overpowered her. 
316:448,08['  ]| She was an altered creature, quieted, stupified, indifferent 
316:448,09['  ]| to$4$ every*thing that$6#1$ passed. The being$1$ left with her 
316:448,10['  ]| sister and nephew, and all the house under her care$0$, had 
316:448,11['  ]| been an advantage entirely thrown away; she had been 
316:448,12['  ]| unable to$9$ direct$1$ or dictate$1$, or even$5$ fancy$1$ herself useful. 
316:448,13['  ]| When really touched by$4$ affliction, her active powers had 
316:448,14['  ]| been all benumbed; and neither $MP#F$Lady*Bertram nor $MP#G$Tom 
316:448,15['  ]| had received from her the smallest support$0$ or attempt$0$ at 
316:448,16['  ]| support$0$. She had done no$2$ more for$4$ them, than they had 
316:448,17['  ]| done for$4$ each other. They had been all solitary, helpless, 
316:448,18['  ]| and forlorn alike; and now the arrival of the others only 
316:448,19['  ]| established her superiority in$4$ wretchedness. Her companions 
316:448,20['  ]| were relieved, but there was no$2$ good for$4$ \her\. 
316:448,21['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was almost as welcome$2$ to$4$ his brother, as $MP#A$Fanny 
316:448,22['  ]| to$4$ her aunt; but $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, instead of having comfort$0$ 
316:448,23['  ]| from either, was but the more irritated by$4$ the sight of the 
316:448,24['  ]| person whom$6#1$, in$4$ the blindness of her anger$0$, she could have 
316:448,25['  ]| charged as the da*emon of the piece. 
316:448,25@j   | Had $MP#A$Fanny accepted 
316:448,26@j   | $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, this could not have happened. 
316:448,27['  ]| $MP#V$Susan, too$5#2$, was a grievance. She had not spirits to$9$ 
316:448,28['  ]| notice$1$ her in$4$ more than a few repulsive looks$0$, but she felt 
316:448,29['  ]| her as a spy, and an intruder, and an indigent niece, and 
316:448,30['  ]| every*thing most odious. By$4$ her other aunt, $MP#V$Susan was 
316:448,31['  ]| received with quiet$2$ kindness. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram could not 
316:448,32['  ]| give her much time, or many words, but she felt her, as 
316:448,33['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny's sister, to$9$ have a claim$0$ at Mansfield, and was ready 
316:448,34['  ]| to$9$ kiss$1$ and like$1$ her; and $MP#V$Susan was more than satisfied, 
316:448,34['  ]| for$3$ 
316:449,01['  ]| she came perfectly aware, that$3$ nothing but ill*humour was 
316:449,02['  ]| to$9$ be expected from Aunt $MP#J$Norris; and was so$5#1$ provided 
316:449,03['  ]| with happiness, so$5#1$ strong in$4$ that$6#2$ best of blessings, an 
316:449,04['  ]| escape$0$ from many certain evils, that$3$ she could have stood 
316:449,05['  ]| against a great deal$0$ more indifference than she met with 
316:449,06['  ]| from the others. 
316:449,07['  ]| She was now left a good deal$0$ to$4$ herself, to$9$ get acquainted 
316:449,08['  ]| with the house and grounds as she could, and spent her 
316:449,09['  ]| days very happily in$4$ so$5#2$ doing, while$3$ those who$6#1$ might 
316:449,10['  ]| otherwise have attended to$4$ her, were shut up$5$, or wholly 
316:449,11['  ]| occupied each with the person quite dependant on$4$ them, at 
316:449,12['  ]| this time, for$4$ every*thing like$4$ comfort$0$; $MP#B$Edmund trying$1$ 
316:449,13['  ]| to$9$ bury his own$2$ feelings in$4$ exertions for$4$ the relief of his 
316:449,14['  ]| brother's, and $MP#A$Fanny devoted to$4$ her aunt $MP#F$Bertram, 
316:449,15['  ]| returning to$4$ every former office, with more than former 
316:449,16['  ]| zeal, and thinking she could never do enough for$4$ one who$6#1$ 
316:449,17['  ]| seemed so$5#1$ much to$9$ want$1$ her. 
316:449,18['  ]| To$9$ talk$1$ over the dreadful business with $MP#A$Fanny, talk$1$ 
316:449,19['  ]| and lament, was all $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's consolation. To$9$ be 
316:449,20['  ]| listened to$5$ and borne with, and hear the voice of kindness 
316:449,21['  ]| and sympathy in$4$ return$0$, was every*thing that$6#1$ could be 
316:449,22['  ]| done for$4$ her. To$9$ be otherwise comforted was out$5$ of the 
316:449,23['  ]| question$0$. The case admitted of no$2$ comfort$0$. $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
316:449,24['  ]| did not think deeply, but, guided by$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
316:449,25['  ]| she thought$1$ justly on$4$ all important points; and she saw, 
316:449,26['  ]| therefore, in$4$ all its enormity, what had happened, and 
316:449,27['  ]| neither endeavoured herself, nor required $MP#A$Fanny to$9$ advise 
316:449,28['  ]| her, to$9$ think little of guilt and infamy. 
316:449,29['  ]| Her affections were not acute, nor was her mind$0$ 
316:449,30['  ]| tenacious. After$4$ a time, $MP#A$Fanny found it not impossible to$9$ 
316:449,31['  ]| direct$1$ her thoughts to$4$ other subjects, and revive some 
316:449,32['  ]| interest$0$ in$4$ the usual occupations; but whenever $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
316:449,33['  ]| \was\ fixed on$4$ the event, she could see it only in$4$ 
316:449,34['  ]| one light$0$, as comprehending the loss of a daughter, and 
316:449,35['  ]| a disgrace$0$ never to$9$ be wiped off. 
316:449,36['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny learnt from her, all the particulars which$6#1$ had yet 
316:449,37['  ]| transpired. Her aunt was no$2$ very methodical narrator; 
316:449,38['  ]| but with the help$0$ of some letters to$4$ and from $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, 
316:450,01['  ]| and what she already knew herself, and could reasonably 
316:450,02['  ]| combine, she was soon able to$9$ understand quite as much as 
316:450,03['  ]| she wished of the circumstances attending the story. 
316:450,04['  ]| $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth had gone, for$4$ the Easter holidays, to$4$ 
316:450,05['  ]| Twickenham, with a family whom$6#1$ she had just$5$ grown 
316:450,06['  ]| intimate$2$ with ~~ a family of lively, agreeable manners, and 
316:450,07['  ]| probably of morals and discretion to$9$ suit$1$ ~~ for$3$ to$4$ \their\ 
316:450,08['  ]| house $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford had constant access at all times. His 
316:450,09['  ]| having been in$4$ the same neighbourhood, $MP#A$Fanny already 
316:450,10['  ]| knew. $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth had been gone, at this time, to$4$ 
316:450,11['  ]| Bath$0#1$, to$9$ pass$1$ a few days with his mother, and bring her 
316:450,12['  ]| back$5$ to$4$ town, and $MP#H$Maria was with these friends without 
316:450,13['  ]| any restraint, without even$5$ $MP#I$Julia; for$3$ $MP#I$Julia had removed 
316:450,14['  ]| from Wimpole*Street two or three weeks before$5$, on$4$ a visit$0$ 
316:450,15['  ]| to$4$ some relations of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas; a removal which$6#1$ her 
316:450,16['  ]| father and mother were now disposed to$9$ attribute to$4$ 
316:450,17['  ]| some view$0$ of convenience on$4$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's account$0$. Very 
316:450,18['  ]| soon after$4$ the $MP#K1$Rushworths' return$0$ to$4$ Wimpole*Street, 
316:450,19['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas had received a letter from an old and most 
316:450,20['  ]| particular friend in$4$ London, who$6#1$ hearing and witnessing 
316:450,21['  ]| a good deal$0$ to$9$ alarm$1$ him in$4$ that$6#2$ quarter$0#2$, wrote to$9$ recommend 
316:450,22['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's coming to$4$ London himself, and using 
316:450,23['  ]| his influence$0$ with his daughter, to$9$ put an end$0$ to$4$ an 
316:450,24['  ]| intimacy which$6#1$ was already exposing her to$4$ unpleasant 
316:450,25['  ]| remarks, and evidently making $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth uneasy. 
316:450,26['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas was preparing to$9$ act$1$ upon$4$ this letter, 
316:450,27['  ]| without communicating its contents to$4$ any creature at 
316:450,28['  ]| Mansfield, when it was followed by$4$ another, sent express$0$ 
316:450,29['  ]| from the same friend, to$9$ break to$4$ him the almost desperate 
316:450,30['  ]| situation in$4$ which$6#1$ affairs then stood with the young people. 
316:450,31['  ]| $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth had left her husband's house; $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth 
316:450,32['  ]| had been in$4$ great anger$0$ and distress$0$ to$4$ \him\ 
316:450,33['  ]| ($MP#ZK$Mr%*Harding), for$4$ his advice; $MP#ZK$Mr%*Harding feared 
316:450,34['  ]| there had been \at\ \least\, very flagrant indiscretion. The 
316:450,35['  ]| maid-servant of $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, senior, threatened 
316:450,36['  ]| alarmingly. He was doing all in$4$ his power to$9$ quiet$1$ every*thing, 
316:450,37['  ]| with the hope$0$ of $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth's return$0$, but was 
316:450,38['  ]| so$5#1$ much counteracted in$4$ Wimpole*Street by$4$ the influence$0$ 
316:451,01['  ]| of $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's mother, that$3$ the worst consequences 
316:451,02['  ]| might be apprehended. 
316:451,03['  ]| This dreadful communication could not be kept from the 
316:451,04['  ]| rest$0#1$ of the family. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas set$1$ off; $MP#B$Edmund would go 
316:451,05['  ]| with him; and the others had been left in$4$ a state$0$ of 
316:451,06['  ]| wretchedness, inferior only to$4$ what followed the receipt of 
316:451,07['  ]| the next letters from London. Every*thing was by$4$ that$6#2$ 
316:451,08['  ]| time public$2$ beyond$4$ a hope$0$. The servant of $MP#L$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
316:451,09['  ]| the mother, had exposure in$4$ her power, and, 
316:451,10['  ]| supported by$4$ her mistress, was not to$9$ be silenced. The 
316:451,11['  ]| two ladies, even$5$ in$4$ the short time they had been together, 
316:451,12['  ]| had disagreed; and the bitterness of the elder against her 
316:451,13['  ]| daughter-in-law might, perhaps, arise almost as much from 
316:451,14['  ]| the personal disrespect with which$6#1$ she had herself been 
316:451,15['  ]| treated, as from sensibility for$4$ her son. 
316:451,16['  ]| However that$6#2$ might be, she was unmanageable. But 
316:451,17['  ]| had she been less obstinate, or of less weight with her son, 
316:451,18['  ]| who$6#1$ was always guided by$4$ the last$2$ speaker, by$4$ the person 
316:451,19['  ]| who$6#1$ could get hold$0$ of and shut him up$5$, the case would still$5$ 
316:451,20['  ]| have been hopeless, for$3$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth did not appear 
316:451,21['  ]| again, and there was every reason$0$ to$9$ conclude her to$9$ be 
316:451,22['  ]| concealed somewhere with $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, who$6#1$ had quitted 
316:451,23['  ]| his uncle's house, as for$4$ a journey, on$4$ the very day of her 
316:451,24['  ]| absenting herself. 
316:451,25['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, however, remained yet a little longer in$4$ 
316:451,26['  ]| town, in$4$ the hope$0$ of discovering, and snatching her from 
316:451,27['  ]| farther vice, though all was lost on$4$ the side$0$ of character. 
316:451,28['  ]| \His\ present$2$ state$0$, $MP#A$Fanny could hardly bear$1$ to$9$ think of. 
316:451,29['  ]| There was but one of his children who$6#1$ was not at this time 
316:451,30['  ]| a source of misery to$4$ him. $MP#G$Tom's complaints had been 
316:451,31['  ]| greatly heightened by$4$ the shock$0$ of his sister's conduct$0$, and 
316:451,32['  ]| his recovery so$5#1$ much thrown back$5$ by$4$ it, that$3$ even$5$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram 
316:451,33['  ]| had been struck by$4$ the difference, and all her 
316:451,34['  ]| alarms were regularly sent off to$4$ her husband; and $MP#I$Julia's 
316:451,35['  ]| elopement, the additional blow which$6#1$ had met him on$4$ his 
316:451,36['  ]| arrival in$4$ London, though its force$0$ had been deadened at 
316:451,37['  ]| the moment, must, she knew, be sorely felt. She saw that$3$ 
316:451,38['  ]| it was. His letters expressed 
316:451,38@e   | how much he deplored it. 
316:452,01@e   | Under any circumstances it would have been an unwelcome 
316:452,02@e   | alliance, but to$9$ have it so$5#1$ clandestinely formed, and such 
316:452,03@e   | a period chosen for$4$ its completion, placed $MP#I$Julia's feelings 
316:452,04@e   | in$4$ a most unfavourable light$0$, and severely aggravated the 
316:452,05@e   | folly of her choice$0$. He called it a bad thing, done in$4$ the 
316:452,06@e   | worst manner, and at the worst time; and though $MP#I$Julia 
316:452,07@e   | was yet as more pardonable than $MP#H$Maria as folly than vice, 
316:452,08@e   | he could not but regard$1$ the step$0$ she had taken, as opening 
316:452,09@e   | the worst probabilities of a conclusion hereafter, like$4$ her 
316:452,10@e   | sister's. Such was his opinion of the set$0$ into which$6#1$ she had 
316:452,11@e   | thrown herself. 
316:452,12['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny felt for$4$ him most acutely. 
316:452,12@a   | He could have no$2$ 
316:452,13@a   | comfort$0$ but in$4$ $MP#B$Edmund. Every other child must be racking 
316:452,14@a   | his heart. His displeasure against herself she trusted, 
316:452,15@a   | reasoning differently from $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, would now be 
316:452,16@a   | done away. \She\ should be justified. $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford would 
316:452,17@a   | have fully acquitted her conduct$0$ in$4$ refusing him, but this, 
316:452,18@a   | though most material$2$ to$4$ herself, would be poor consolation 
316:452,19@a   | to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas. Her uncle's displeasure was terrible to$4$ her; 
316:452,20@a   | but what could her justification, or her gratitude and 
316:452,21@a   | attachment do for$4$ him? His stay$0$ must be on$4$ $MP#B$Edmund 
316:452,22@a   | alone. 
316:452,23['  ]| She was mistaken, however, in$4$ supposing that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund 
316:452,24['  ]| gave his father no$2$ present$2$ pain$0$. It was of a much less

316:452,26['  ]| was 
316:452,26@e   | considering his happiness as very deeply 
316:452,27@e   | involved in$4$ the offence of his sister and friend, cut$1$ off by$4$ 
316:452,28@e   | it as he must be from the woman, whom$6#1$ he had been 
316:452,29@e   | pursuing with undoubted attachment, and strong probability 
316:452,30@e   | of success; and who$6#1$ in$4$ every*thing but this 
316:452,31@e   | despicable brother, would have been so$5#1$ eligible a connection. 
316:452,32@e   | He was aware of what $MP#B$Edmund must be suffering on$4$ 
316:452,33@e   | his own$2$ behalf in$4$ addition to$4$ all the rest$0#1$, when they were in$4$ 
316:452,34@e   | town; he had seen or conjectured his feelings, and having 
316:452,35@e   | reason$0$ to$9$ think that$3$ \one\ interview with $MP#C$Miss*Crawford had 
316:452,36@e   | taken place$0$, from which$6#1$ $MP#B$Edmund derived only increased 
316:452,37@e   | distress$0$, had been as anxious on$4$ that$6#2$ account$0$ as on$4$ others, 
316:452,38@e   | to$9$ get him out$5$ of town, and had engaged him in$4$ taking 
316:453,01@e   | $MP#A$Fanny home to$4$ her aunt, with a view$0$ to$4$ his relief and 
316:453,02@e   | benefit, no$2$ less than theirs. 
316:453,02['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was not in$4$ the secret$0$ 
316:453,03['  ]| of her uncle's feelings, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas not in$4$ the secret$0$ of 
316:453,04['  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's character. Had he been privy to$4$ her 
316:453,05['  ]| conversation with his son, he would not have wished her to$9$ 
316:453,06['  ]| belong to$4$ him, though her twenty thousand pounds had 
316:453,07['  ]| been forty. 
316:453,08['  ]| That$3$ $MP#B$Edmund must be for*ever divided from $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
316:453,09['  ]| did not admit of a doubt$0$ with $MP#A$Fanny; and yet, till 
316:453,10['  ]| she knew that$3$ he felt the same, her own$2$ conviction was 
316:453,11['  ]| insufficient. 
316:453,11@a   | She thought$1$ he did, but she wanted to$9$ be 
316:453,12@a   | assured of it. If he would now speak to$4$ her with the 
316:453,13@a   | unreserve which$6#1$ had sometimes been too$5#1$ much for$4$ her 
316:453,14@a   | before$5$, it would be most consoling; but \that$6#2$\ she found was 
316:453,15@a   | not to$9$ be. She seldom saw him ~~ never alone ~~ he probably 
316:453,16@a   | avoided being$1$ alone with her. What was to$9$ be inferred? 
316:453,17@a   | That$3$ his judgment submitted to$4$ all his own$2$ peculiar and 
316:453,18@a   | bitter share$0$ of this family affliction, but that$3$ it was too$5#1$ 
316:453,19@a   | keenly felt to$9$ be a subject$0$ of the slightest communication. 
316:453,20@a   | This must be his state$0$. He yielded, but it was with 
316:453,21@a   | agonies, which$6#1$ did not admit of speech. Long, long would 
316:453,22@a   | it be ere $MP#C$Miss*Crawford's name$0$ passed his lips again, or she 
316:453,23@a   | could hope$1$ for$4$ a renewal of such confidential intercourse as 
316:453,24@a   | had been. 
316:453,25['  ]| It \was\ long. They reached Mansfield on$4$ Thursday, and 
316:453,26['  ]| it was not till Sunday evening that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund began to$9$ talk$1$ 
316:453,27['  ]| to$4$ her on$4$ the subject$0$. Sitting with her on$4$ Sunday evening 
316:453,28['  ]| ~~ a wet$2$ Sunday evening ~~ the very time of all others when 
316:453,29['  ]| if a friend is at hand$0$ the heart must be opened, and every*thing 
316:453,30['  ]| told ~~ no*one else in$4$ the room, except his mother, 
316:453,31['  ]| who$6#1$, after$4$ hearing an affecting sermon, had cried herself to$4$ 
316:453,32['  ]| sleep$0$ ~~ it was impossible not to$9$ speak; and so$5#2$, with the 
316:453,33['  ]| usual beginnings, hardly to$9$ be traced as to$4$ what came first, 
316:453,34['  ]| and the usual declaration that$3$ 
316:453,34@b   | if she would listen to$4$ him for$4$ 
316:453,35@b   | a few minutes, he should be very brief, and certainly never 
316:453,36@b   | tax$1$ her kindness in$4$ the same way again ~~ she need$1$ not fear$1$ 
316:453,37@b   | a repetition ~~ it would be a subject$0$ prohibited entirely ~~ 
316:453,37['  ]| he 
316:453,38['  ]| entered upon$4$ the luxury of relating circumstances and 
316:454,01['  ]| sensations of the first interest$0$ to$4$ himself, to$4$ one of whose$6#1$ 
316:454,02['  ]| affectionate sympathy he was quite convinced. 
316:454,03['  ]| How $MP#A$Fanny listened, with what curiosity and concern$0$, 
316:454,04['  ]| what pain$0$ and what delight$0$, how the agitation of his voice 
316:454,05['  ]| was watched, and how carefully her own$2$ eyes were fixed on$4$ 
316:454,06['  ]| any object$0$ but himself, may$1$ be imagined. 
316:454,06@a   | The opening 
316:454,07@a   | was alarming. 
316:454,07@b   | He had seen $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. He had been 
316:454,08@b   | invited to$9$ see her. He had received a note$0$ from $MP#ZZI$Lady*Stornaway 
316:454,09@b   | to$9$ beg him to$9$ call$1$; and regarding it as what 
316:454,10@b   | was meant to$9$ be the last$2$, last$2$ interview of friendship, and 
316:454,11@b   | investing her with all the feelings of shame$0$ and wretchedness 
316:454,12@b   | which$6#1$ $MP#D$Crawford's sister ought to$9$ have known, he had 
316:454,13@b   | gone to$4$ her in$4$ such a state$0$ of mind$0$, so$5#1$ softened, so$5#1$ devoted, 
316:454,14['  ]| as made it for$4$ a few moments impossible to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's fears, 
316:454,15['  ]| that$3$ it should be the last$0$. But as he proceeded in$4$ his story, 
316:454,16['  ]| these fears were over. 
316:454,16@b   | She had met him, 
316:454,16['  ]| he said, 
316:454,16@b   | with 
316:454,17@b   | a serious$2$ ~~ certainly a serious$2$ ~~ even$5$ an agitated air; but 
316:454,18@b   | before$3$ he had been able to$9$ speak one intelligible sentence, 
316:454,19@b   | she had introduced the subject$0$ in$4$ a manner which$6#1$ he 
316:454,20@b   | owned had shocked him. 
316:454,20[C  ]| "I heard you were in$4$ town," 
316:454,21[B  ]| said she ~~ 
316:454,21[C  ]| "I wanted to$9$ see you. Let us talk$1$ over this sad 
316:454,22[C  ]| business. What can equal$1$ the folly of our two relations?" 
316:454,23[B  ]| ~~ "I could not answer$1$, but I believe my looks$0$ spoke. 
316:454,24[B  ]| She felt reproved. Sometimes how quick$2$ to$9$ feel! With 
316:454,25[B  ]| a graver look$0$ and voice she then added ~~ 
316:454,25[C  ]| "I do not mean$1$ 
316:454,26[C  ]| to$9$ defend $MP#D$Henry at your sister's expense." 
316:454,26[B  ]| So$3$ she began ~~ 
316:454,27[B  ]| but how she went on$5$, $MP#A$Fanny, is not fit$2$ ~~ is hardly fit$2$ to$9$ 
316:454,27[B  ]| be 
316:454,28[B  ]| repeated to$4$ you. I cannot recall$1$ all her words. I would 
316:454,29[B  ]| not dwell upon$4$ them if I could. Their substance was 
316:454,30[B  ]| great anger$0$ at the \folly\ of each. She reprobated her 
316:454,31[B  ]| brother's folly in$4$ being$1$ drawn on$5$ by$4$ a woman whom$6#1$ he 
316:454,32[B  ]| had never cared for$4$, to$9$ do what must lose him the woman 
316:454,33[B  ]| he adored; but still$5$ more the folly of ~~ poor $MP#H$Maria, in$4$ 
316:454,34[B  ]| sacrificing such a situation, plunging into such difficulties, 
316:454,35[B  ]| under the idea of being$1$ really loved by$4$ a man who$6#1$ had long 
316:454,36[B  ]| ago made his indifference clear$2$. Guess$1$ what I must have 
316:454,37[B  ]| felt. To$9$ hear the woman whom$6#1$ ~~ no$2$ harsher name$0$ than 
316:454,38[B  ]| folly given! ~~ So$5#1$ voluntarily, so$5#1$ freely, so$5#1$ coolly to$9$ canvass 
316:455,01[B  ]| it! ~~ No$2$ reluctance, no$2$ horror, no$2$ feminine ~~ shall I say? 
316:455,02[B  ]| no$2$ modest loathings! ~~ This is what the world does. For$3$ 
316:455,03[B  ]| where, $MP#A$Fanny, shall we find a woman whom$6#1$ nature had so$5#1$ 
316:455,04[B  ]| richly endowed? ~~ Spoilt, spoilt! ~~" 
316:455,05['  ]| After$4$ a little reflection, he went on$5$ with a sort of desperate 
316:455,06['  ]| calmness ~~ 
316:455,06[B  ]| "I will$1$ tell you every*thing, and then 
316:455,07[B  ]| have done for*ever. She saw it only as folly, and that$6#2$ 
316:455,08[B  ]| folly stamped only by$4$ exposure. The want$0$ of common$2$ 
316:455,09[B  ]| discretion, of caution$0$ ~~ his going down$5$ to$4$ Richmond for$4$ 
316:455,10[B  ]| the whole$2$ time of her being$1$ at Twickenham ~~ her putting 
316:455,11[B  ]| herself in$4$ the power of a servant; ~~ it was the detection 
316:455,12[B  ]| in$4$ short ~~ Oh! $MP#A$Fanny, it was the detection, not the 
316:455,13[B  ]| offence which$6#1$ she reprobated. It was the imprudence 
316:455,14[B  ]| which$6#1$ had brought things to$4$ extremity, and obliged her 
316:455,15[B  ]| brother to$9$ give up$5$ every dearer plan, in$4$ order to$9$ fly$1$ with 
316:455,16[B  ]| her." 
316:455,17['  ]| He stopt. ~~ 
316:455,17[A  ]| "And what," 
316:455,17['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny, (believing herself 
316:455,18['  ]| required to$9$ speak), 
316:455,18[A  ]| "what could you say?" 
316:455,19[B  ]| "Nothing, nothing to$9$ be understood. I was like$4$ a man 
316:455,20[B  ]| stunned. She went on$5$, began to$9$ talk$1$ of you; ~~ yes, then 
316:455,21[B  ]| she began to$9$ talk$1$ of you, regretting, as well$5$ she might, 
316:455,22[B  ]| the loss of such a ~~. There she spoke very rationally. 
316:455,23[B  ]| But she always has done justice to$4$ you. 
316:455,23[C  ]| ""He has thrown 
316:455,24[C  ]| away,"" 
316:455,24[B  ]| said she, 
316:455,24[C  ]| ""such a woman as he will$1$ never see again. 
316:455,25[C  ]| She would have fixed him, she would have made him happy 
316:455,26[C  ]| for*ever."" ~~ 
316:455,26[B  ]| My dearest $MP#A$Fanny, I am giving you I hope$1$ 
316:455,27[B  ]| more pleasure than pain$0$ by$4$ this retrospect of what might 
316:455,28[B  ]| have been ~~ but what never can be now. You do not 
316:455,29[B  ]| wish$1$ me to$9$ be silent? ~~ if you do, give me but a look$0$, 
316:455,30[B  ]| a word, and I have done." 
316:455,31['  ]| No$2$ look$0$ or word was given. 
316:455,32[B  ]| "Thank God!" 
316:455,32['  ]| said he. 
316:455,32[B  ]| "We were all disposed to$9$ 
316:455,33[B  ]| wonder$1$ ~~ but it seems to$9$ have been the merciful appointment 
316:455,34[B  ]| of Providence that$3$ the heart which$6#1$ knew no$2$ guile, 
316:455,35[B  ]| should not suffer. She spoke of you with high praise$0$ and 
316:455,36[B  ]| warm$2$ affection; yet, even$5$ here, there was alloy, a dash 
316:455,37[B  ]| of evil ~~ for$3$ in$4$ the midst of it she could exclaim 
316:455,37[C  ]| ""Why, 
316:455,38[C  ]| would not she have him? It is all her fault. Simple$2$ 
316:456,01[C  ]| girl! ~~ I shall never forgive her. Had she accepted him 
316:456,02[C  ]| as she ought, they might now have been on$4$ the point$0$ of 
316:456,03[C  ]| marriage, and $MP#D$Henry would have been too$5#1$ happy and too$5#1$ 
316:456,04[C  ]| busy to$9$ want$1$ any other object$0$. He would have taken 
316:456,05[C  ]| no$2$ pains to$9$ be on$4$ terms with $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth again. It 
316:456,06[C  ]| would have all ended in$4$ a regular standing flirtation, in$4$ 
316:456,07[C  ]| yearly meetings at Sotherton and Everingham."" 
316:456,08[B  ]| Could 
316:456,09[B  ]| you have believed it possible? ~~ But the charm$0$ is broken. 
316:456,10[B  ]| My eyes are opened." 
316:456,10[A  ]| "Cruel!" 
316:456,10['  ]| said $MP#A$Fanny ~~ 
316:456,10[A  ]| "quite cruel! At such a 
316:456,11[A  ]| moment to$9$ give way to$4$ gaiety and to$9$ speak with lightness, 
316:456,12[A  ]| and to$4$ you! ~~ Absolute cruelty." 
316:456,13[B  ]| "Cruelty, do you call$1$ it? ~~ We differ there. No$7$, her's 
316:456,14[B  ]| is not a cruel nature. I do not consider her as meaning 
316:456,15[B  ]| to$9$ wound$1#2$ my feelings. The evil lies$1$ yet deeper; in$4$ her 
316:456,16[B  ]| total ignorance, unsuspiciousness of there being$1$ such feelings, 
316:456,17[B  ]| in$4$ a perversion of mind$0$ which$6#1$ made it natural$2$ to$4$ her 
316:456,18[B  ]| to$9$ treat$1$ the subject$0$ as she did. She was speaking only, as 
316:456,19[B  ]| she had been used to$9$ hear others speak, as she imagined 
316:456,20[B  ]| every*body else would speak. Her's are not faults of 
316:456,21[B  ]| temper. She would not voluntarily give unnecessary pain$0$ 
316:456,22[B  ]| to$4$ any*one, and though I may$1$ deceive myself, I cannot but 
316:456,23[B  ]| think that$3$ for$4$ me, for$4$ my feelings, she would ~~ Her's are 
316:456,24[B  ]| faults of principle, $MP#A$Fanny, of blunted delicacy and a corrupted, 
316:456,25[B  ]| vitiated mind$0$. Perhaps it is best for$4$ me ~~ since 
316:456,26[B  ]| it leaves$1$ me so$5#1$ little to$9$ regret$1$. Not so$5#2$, however. Gladly 
316:456,27[B  ]| would I submit to$4$ all the increased pain$0$ of losing her, 
316:456,28[B  ]| rather than have to$9$ think of her as I do. I told her so$5#2$." 
316:456,29[A  ]| "Did you?" 
316:456,30[B  ]| "Yes, when I left her I told her so$5#2$." 
316:456,31[A  ]| "How long were you together?" 
316:456,32[B  ]| "Five*and*twenty minutes. Well$7$, she went on$5$ to$9$ say, 
316:456,33[B  ]| that$3$ what remained now to$9$ be done, was to$9$ bring about$5$ 
316:456,34[B  ]| a marriage between them. She spoke of it, $MP#A$Fanny, with 
316:456,35[B  ]| a steadier voice than I can." 
316:456,35['  ]| He was obliged to$9$ pause$1$ 
316:456,36['  ]| more than once as he continued. 
316:456,36[C  ]| "We must persuade 
316:456,37[C  ]| $MP#D$Henry to$9$ marry her," 
316:456,37[B  ]| said she, 
316:456,37[C  ]| "and what with honour$0$, 
316:456,38[C  ]| and the certainty of having shut himself out$5$ for*ever from 
316:457,01[C  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, I do not despair$1$ of it. $MP#A$Fanny he must give up$5$. 
316:457,02[C  ]| I do not think that$3$ even$5$ \he\ could now hope$1$ to$9$ succeed 
316:457,03[C  ]| with one of her stamp, and therefore I hope$1$ we may$1$ find 
316:457,04[C  ]| no$2$ insuperable difficulty. My influence$0$, which$6#1$ is not 
316:457,05[C  ]| small, shall all go that$6#2$ way; and, when once married, 
316:457,06[C  ]| and properly supported by$4$ her own$2$ family, people of 
316:457,07[C  ]| respectability as they are, she may$1$ recover her footing in$4$ 
316:457,08[C  ]| society to$4$ a certain degree. In$4$ some circles, we know, she 
316:457,09[C  ]| would never be admitted, but with good dinners, and large 
316:457,10[C  ]| parties, there will$1$ always be those who$6#1$ will$1$ be glad of her 
316:457,11[C  ]| acquaintance; and there is, undoubtedly, more liberality 
316:457,12[C  ]| and candour on$4$ those points than formerly. What I 
316:457,13[C  ]| advise is, that$3$ your father be quiet$2$. Do not let him 
316:457,14[C  ]| injure his own$2$ cause by$4$ interference. Persuade him to$9$ 
316:457,15[C  ]| let things take their course$0$. If by$4$ any officious exertions 
316:457,16[C  ]| of his, she is induced to$9$ leave$1$ $MP#D$Henry's protection, there 
316:457,17[C  ]| will$1$ be much less chance$0$ of his marrying her, than if she 
316:457,18[C  ]| remain with him. I know how he is likely to$9$ be influenced. 
316:457,19[C  ]| Let $MP#E$Sir*Thomas trust$1$ to$4$ his honour$0$ and compassion, and 
316:457,20[C  ]| it may$1$ all end$1$ well$5$; but if he get his daughter away, it will$1$ 
316:457,21[C  ]| be destroying the chief hold$0$." 
316:457,22['  ]| After$4$ repeating this, $MP#B$Edmund was so$5#1$ much affected, 
316:457,23['  ]| that$3$ $MP#A$Fanny, watching him with silent, but most tender$2$ 
316:457,24['  ]| concern$0$, was almost sorry that$3$ the subject$0$ had been 
316:457,25['  ]| entered on$5$ at all. It was long before$3$ he could speak again. 
316:457,26['  ]| At last$0$, 
316:457,26[B  ]| "Now, $MP#A$Fanny," 
316:457,26['  ]| said he, 
316:457,26[B  ]| "I shall soon have done. 
316:457,27[B  ]| I have told you the substance of all that$6#1$ she said. As 
316:457,28[B  ]| soon as I could speak, I replied that$3$ I had not supposed 
316:457,29[B  ]| it possible, coming in$4$ such a state$0$ of mind$0$ into that$6#2$ house, 
316:457,30[B  ]| as I had done, that$3$ any*thing could occur to$9$ make$1$ me 
316:457,31[B  ]| suffer more, but that$3$ she had been inflicting deeper wounds 
316:457,32[B  ]| in$4$ almost every sentence. That$3$, though I had, in$4$ the 
316:457,33[B  ]| course$0$ of our acquaintance, been often sensible$2#1$ of some 
316:457,34[B  ]| difference in$4$ our opinions, on$4$ points too$5#2$, of some moment, 
316:457,35[B  ]| it had not entered my imagination to$9$ conceive the difference 
316:457,36[B  ]| could be such as she had now proved it. That$3$ the 
316:457,37[B  ]| manner in$4$ which$6#1$ she treated the dreadful crime committed 
316:457,38[B  ]| by$4$ her brother and my sister ~~ (with whom$6#1$ lay$1#2$ the greater 
316:458,01[B  ]| seduction I pretended not to$9$ say) ~~ but the manner in$4$ 
316:458,02[B  ]| which$6#1$ she spoke of the crime itself, giving it every reproach$0$ 
316:458,03[B  ]| but the right$2#1$, considering its ill*consequences only as they 
316:458,04[B  ]| were to$9$ be braved or overborne by$4$ a defiance of decency 
316:458,05[B  ]| and impudence in$4$ wrong; and, last$2$ of all, and above$4$ all, 
316:458,06[B  ]| recommending to$4$ us a compliance, a compromise, an 
316:458,07[B  ]| acquiescence, in$4$ the continuance of the sin, on$4$ the chance$0$ 
316:458,08[B  ]| of a marriage which$6#1$, thinking as I now thought$1$ of her 
316:458,09[B  ]| brother, should rather be prevented than sought ~~ all this 
316:458,10[B  ]| together most grievously convinced me that$3$ I had never 
316:458,11[B  ]| understood her before$5$, and that$3$, as far as related to$4$ mind$0$, 
316:458,12[B  ]| it had been the creature of my own$2$ imagination, not 
316:458,12[B  ]| $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, 
316:458,13[B  ]| that$6#1$ I had been too$5#1$ apt to$9$ dwell on$5$ for$4$ many 
316:458,14[B  ]| months past$1$. That$3$, perhaps it was best for$4$ me; I had 
316:458,15[B  ]| less to$9$ regret$1$ in$4$ sacrificing a friendship ~~ feelings ~~ hopes$0$ 
316:458,16[B  ]| which$6#1$ must, at any rate$0$, have been torn from me now. 
316:458,17[B  ]| And yet, that$3$ I must and would confess, that$3$, could I have 
316:458,18[B  ]| restored her to$4$ what she had appeared to$4$ me before$5$, I 
316:458,19[B  ]| would infinitely prefer any increase$0$ of the pain$0$ of parting, 
316:458,20[B  ]| for$4$ the sake of carrying with me the right$0$ of tenderness 
316:458,21[B  ]| and esteem$0$. This is what I said ~~ the purport of it ~~ but, 
316:458,22[B  ]| as you may$1$ imagine, not spoken so$5#1$ collectedly or methodically 
316:458,23[B  ]| as I have repeated it to$4$ you. She was astonished, 
316:458,24[B  ]| exceedingly astonished ~~ more than astonished. I saw 
316:458,25[B  ]| her change$0$ countenance. She turned extremely red. I 
316:458,26[B  ]| imagined I saw a mixture of many feelings ~~ a great, 
316:458,27[B  ]| though short struggle$0$ ~~ half a wish$0$ of yielding to$4$ truths, 
316:458,28[B  ]| half a sense of shame$0$ ~~ but habit, habit carried it. She 
316:458,29[B  ]| would have laughed if she could. It was a sort of laugh$0$, 
316:458,30[B  ]| as she answered, 
316:458,30[C  ]| ""A pretty$5$ good lecture upon$4$ my word. 
316:458,31[C  ]| Was it part$0$ of your last$2$ sermon? At this rate$0$, you will$1$ 
316:458,32[C  ]| soon reform$1$ every*body at Mansfield and Thornton*Lacey; 
316:458,33[C  ]| and when I hear of you next, it may$1$ be as a celebrated 
316:458,34[C  ]| preacher in$4$ some great society of Methodists, or as a missionary 
316:458,35[C  ]| into foreign parts."" 
316:458,35[B  ]| She tried to$9$ speak carelessly; 
316:458,36[B  ]| but she was not so$5#1$ careless as she wanted to$9$ appear. I 
316:458,37[B  ]| only said in$4$ reply$0$, that$3$ from my heart I wished her well$5$, 
316:458,38[B  ]| and earnestly hoped that$3$ she might soon learn to$9$ think 
316:459,01[B  ]| more justly, and not owe the most valuable knowledge 
316:459,02[B  ]| we could any of us acquire ~~ the knowledge of ourselves 
316:459,03[B  ]| and of our duty, to$4$ the lessons of affliction ~~ and immediately 
316:459,04[B  ]| left the room. I had gone a few steps, $MP#A$Fanny, 
316:459,05[B  ]| when I heard the door open$1$ behind me. 
316:459,05[C  ]| ""$MP#B$Mr%*Bertram,"" 
316:459,06[B  ]| said she. I looked back$5$. 
316:459,06[C  ]| ""$MP#B$Mr%*Bertram,"" 
316:459,06[B  ]| said she, with 
316:459,07[B  ]| a smile$0$ ~~ but it was a smile$0$ ill-suited to$4$ the conversation 
316:459,08[B  ]| that$6#1$ had passed, a saucy playful smile$0$, seeming to$9$ invite, 
316:459,09[B  ]| in$4$ order to$9$ subdue me; at least, it appeared so$5#2$ to$4$ me. 
316:459,10[B  ]| I resisted; it was the impulse of the moment to$9$ resist, 
316:459,11[B  ]| and still$5$ walked on$5$. I have since ~~ sometimes ~~ for$4$ a 
316:459,12[B  ]| moment ~~ regretted that$3$ I did not go back$5$; but I know 
316:459,13[B  ]| I was right$2#1$; and such has been the end$0$ of our acquaintance! 
316:459,14[B  ]| And what an acquaintance has it been! How 
316:459,15[B  ]| have I been deceived! Equally in$4$ brother and sister 
316:459,16[B  ]| deceived! I thank you for$4$ your patience, $MP#A$Fanny. This 
316:459,17[B  ]| has been the greatest relief, and now we will$1$ have done." 
316:459,18['  ]| And such was $MP#A$Fanny's dependance on$4$ his words, that$3$ 
316:459,19['  ]| for$4$ five minutes she thought$1$ they \had\ done. Then, however, 
316:459,20['  ]| it all came on$5$ again, or something very like$4$ it, and 
316:459,21['  ]| nothing less than $MP#F$Lady*Bertram's rousing thoroughly up$5$, 
316:459,22['  ]| could really close$1$ such a conversation. Till that$6#2$ happened, 
316:459,23['  ]| they continued to$9$ talk$1$ of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford alone, and how 
316:459,24['  ]| she had attached him, and how delightful nature had 
316:459,25['  ]| made her, and how excellent she would have been, had 
316:459,26['  ]| she fallen into good hands earlier. $MP#A$Fanny, now at liberty 
316:459,27['  ]| to$9$ speak openly, 
316:459,27@a   | felt more than justified in$4$ adding to$4$ his 
316:459,28@a   | knowledge of her real character, by$4$ some hint$0$ of what 
316:459,29@a   | share$0$ his brother's state$0$ of health might be supposed to$9$ 
316:459,30@a   | have in$4$ her wish$0$ for$4$ a complete$2$ reconciliation. 
316:459,30['  ]| This was 
316:459,31['  ]| not an agreeable intimation. Nature resisted it for$4$ a 
316:459,32['  ]| while$0$. 
316:459,32@b   | It would have been a vast deal$0$ pleasanter to$9$ have 
316:459,33@b   | had her more disinterested in$4$ her attachment; 
316:459,33['  ]| but his 
316:459,34['  ]| vanity was not of a strength to$9$ fight long against reason$0$. 
316:459,35['  ]| He submitted to$9$ believe, that$3$ $MP#G$Tom's illness had influenced 
316:459,36['  ]| her; only reserving for$4$ himself this consoling thought$1$, 
316:459,37@b   | that$3$ considering the many counteractions of opposing 
316:459,38@b   | habits, she had certainly been \more\ attached to$4$ him than 
316:460,01@b   | could have been expected, and for$4$ his sake been more 
316:460,02@b   | near$4$ doing right$2#1$. 
316:460,02['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny thought$1$ exactly the same; and 
316:460,03['  ]| they were also quite agreed in$4$ their opinion of 
316:460,03@y   | the lasting 
316:460,04@y   | effect$0$, the indelible impression, which$6#1$ such a disappointment 
316:460,05@y   | must make$1$ on$4$ his mind$0$. Time would undoubtedly 
316:460,06@y   | abate somewhat of his sufferings, but still$5$ it was a sort 
316:460,07@y   | of thing which$6#1$ he never could get entirely the better of; 
316:460,08@y   | and as to$4$ his ever meeting with any other woman who$6#1$ 
316:460,09@y   | could ~~ it was too$5#1$ impossible to$9$ be named but with indignation. 
316:460,10@y   | $MP#A$Fanny's friendship was all that$6#1$ he had to$9$ cling to$4$. 
317:461,01['  ]| Let other pens dwell on$4$ guilt and misery. I quit such 
317:461,02['  ]| odious subjects as soon as I can, impatient to$9$ restore every*body, 
317:461,03['  ]| not greatly in$4$ fault themselves, to$4$ tolerable comfort$0$, 
317:461,04['  ]| and to$9$ have done with all the rest$0#1$. 
317:461,05['  ]| My $MP#A$Fanny indeed at this very time, I have the satisfaction 
317:461,06['  ]| of knowing, must have been happy in$4$ spite$8$ of 
317:461,07['  ]| every*thing. She must have been a happy creature in$4$ 
317:461,08['  ]| spite$8$ of all that$6#1$ she felt or thought$1$ she felt, for$4$ the 
317:461,08['  ]| distress$0$ 
317:461,09['  ]| of those around$4$ her. She had sources of delight$0$ that$6#1$ must 
317:461,10['  ]| force$1$ their way. 
317:461,10@a   | She was returned to$4$ Mansfield*Park, 
317:461,11@a   | she was useful, she was beloved; she was safe from $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford, 
317:461,12@a   | and when $MP#E$Sir*Thomas came back$5$ she had every 
317:461,13@a   | proof that$6#1$ could be given in$4$ his then melancholy$2$ state$0$ 
317:461,14@a   | of spirits, of his perfect$2$ approbation and increased regard$0$; 
317:461,15@a   | and happy as all this must make$1$ her, she would still$5$ have 
317:461,16@a   | been happy without any of it, for$3$ $MP#B$Edmund was no$2$ longer 
317:461,17@a   | the dupe$0$ of $MP#C$Miss*Crawford. 
317:461,18['  ]| It is true, that$3$ $MP#B$Edmund was very far from happy himself. 
317:461,19['  ]| He was suffering from disappointment and regret$0$, 
317:461,20['  ]| grieving over what was, and wishing for$4$ what could never 
317:461,21['  ]| be. She knew it was so$5#2$, and was sorry; but it was with 
317:461,22['  ]| a sorrow so$5#1$ founded on$4$ satisfaction, so$5#1$ tending to$4$ ease$0$, 
317:461,23['  ]| and so$5#1$ much in$4$ harmony with every dearest sensation$0#1$, 
317:461,24['  ]| that$3$ there are few who$6#1$ might not have been glad to$9$ 
317:461,25['  ]| exchange$1$ their greatest gaiety for$4$ it. 
317:461,26['  ]| $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, poor $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, a parent, and conscious 
317:461,27['  ]| of errors in$4$ his own$2$ conduct$0$ as a parent, was the longest 
317:461,28['  ]| to$9$ suffer. 
317:461,28@e   | He felt that$3$ he ought not to$9$ have allowed the 
317:461,29@e   | marriage, that$3$ his daughter's sentiments had been sufficiently 
317:461,30@e   | known to$4$ him to$9$ render him culpable in$4$ authorising 
317:461,31@e   | it, that$3$ in$4$ so$5#2$ doing he had sacrificed the right$0$ to$4$ the 
317:461,32@e   | expedient$0$, and been governed by$4$ motives of selfishness 
317:461,33@e   | and worldly wisdom. 
317:461,33['  ]| These were reflections that$6#1$ required 
317:462,01['  ]| some time to$9$ soften; but time will$1$ do almost every*thing, 
317:462,02['  ]| and though little comfort$0$ arose on$4$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth's side$0$ 
317:462,03['  ]| for$4$ the misery she had occasioned, comfort$0$ was to$9$ be 
317:462,04['  ]| found greater than he had supposed, in$4$ his other children. 
317:462,05['  ]| $MP#I$Julia's match$0$ became a less desperate business than he 
317:462,06['  ]| had considered it at first. 
317:462,06@e   | She was humble$2$ and wishing 
317:462,07@e   | to$9$ be forgiven, and $MP#R$Mr%*Yates, desirous of being$1$ really 
317:462,08@e   | received into the family, was disposed to$9$ look$1$ up$5$ to$4$ him 
317:462,09@e   | and be guided. He was not very solid; but there was 
317:462,10@e   | a hope$0$ of his becoming less trifling ~~ of his being$1$ at least 
317:462,11@e   | tolerably domestic$2$ and quiet$2$; and, at any rate$0$, there was 
317:462,12@e   | comfort$0$ in$4$ finding his estate rather more, and his debts 
317:462,13@e   | much less, than he had feared, and in$4$ being$1$ consulted and 
317:462,14@e   | treated as the friend best worth attending to$4$. 
317:462,14['  ]| There was 
317:462,15['  ]| comfort$0$ also in$4$ $MP#G$Tom, who$6#1$ gradually regained his health, 
317:462,16['  ]| without regaining the thoughtlessness and selfishness of his 
317:462,17['  ]| previous habits. He was the better for*ever for$4$ his illness. 
317:462,18['  ]| He had suffered, and he had learnt to$9$ think, two advantages 
317:462,19['  ]| that$6#1$ he had never known before$5$; and the self-reproach 
317:462,20['  ]| arising from the deplorable event in$4$ Wimpole*Street, 
317:462,21['  ]| to$4$ which$6#1$ he felt himself accessary by$4$ all the dangerous 
317:462,22['  ]| intimacy of his unjustifiable theatre, made an 
317:462,23['  ]| impression on$4$ his mind$0$ which$6#1$, at the age of six-and-twenty, 
317:462,24['  ]| with no$2$ want$0$ of sense, or good companions, was durable 
317:462,25['  ]| in$4$ its happy effects. He became what he ought to$9$ be, 
317:462,26['  ]| useful to$4$ his father, steady and quiet$2$, and not living merely 
317:462,27['  ]| for$4$ himself. 
317:462,28['  ]| Here was comfort$0$ indeed! and quite as soon as $MP#E$Sir*Thomas 
317:462,29['  ]| could place$1$ dependence on$4$ such sources of good, 
317:462,30['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund was contributing to$4$ his father's ease$0$ by$4$ improvement 
317:462,31['  ]| in$4$ the only point$0$ in$4$ which$6#1$ \he\ had given him pain$0$ 
317:462,32['  ]| before$5$ ~~ improvement in$4$ his spirits. After$4$ wandering 
317:462,33['  ]| about$5$ and sitting under trees with $MP#A$Fanny all the summer 
317:462,34['  ]| evenings, he had so$5#1$ well$5$ talked his mind$0$ into submission, 
317:462,35['  ]| as to$9$ be very tolerably cheerful again. 
317:462,36['  ]| These were the circumstances and the hopes$0$ which$6#1$ 
317:462,37['  ]| gradually brought their alleviation to$4$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas, deadening 
317:462,38['  ]| his sense of what was lost, and in$4$ part$0$ reconciling him 
317:463,01['  ]| to$4$ himself; though the anguish arising from the conviction 
317:463,02['  ]| of his own$2$ errors in$4$ the education of his daughters, 
317:463,03['  ]| was never to$9$ be entirely done away. 
317:463,04@e   | Too$5#1$ late he became aware how unfavourable to$4$ the 
317:463,05@e   | character of any young people, must be the totally opposite 
317:463,06@e   | treatment which$6#1$ $MP#H$Maria and $MP#I$Julia had been always 
317:463,07@e   | experiencing at home, where the excessive indulgence 
317:463,08@e   | and flattery of their aunt had been continually contrasted 
317:463,09@e   | with his own$2$ severity. He saw how ill he had judged, in$4$ 
317:463,10@e   | expecting to$9$ counteract what was wrong in$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
317:463,11@e   | by$4$ its reverse in$4$ himself, clearly saw that$3$ he had but 
317:463,12@e   | increased the evil, by$4$ teaching them to$9$ repress their spirits 
317:463,13@e   | in$4$ his presence, as to$9$ make$1$ their real disposition unknown 
317:463,14@e   | to$4$ him, and sending them for$4$ all their indulgences to$4$ a 
317:463,15@e   | person who$6#1$ had been able to$9$ attach them only by$4$ the 
317:463,16@e   | blindness of her affection, and the excess of her praise$0$. 
317:463,17@e   | Here had been grievous mismanagement; but, bad as 
317:463,18@e   | it was, he gradually grew to$9$ feel that$3$ it had not been the 
317:463,19@e   | most direful mistake$0$ in$4$ his plan of education. Something 
317:463,20@e   | must have been wanting \within\, or time would have worn 
317:463,21@e   | away much of its ill effect$0$. He feared that$3$ principle, 
317:463,22@e   | active principle, had been wanting, that$3$ they had never 
317:463,23@e   | been properly taught to$9$ govern their inclinations and 
317:463,24@e   | tempers, by$4$ that$6#2$ sense of duty which$6#1$ can alone suffice. 
317:463,25@e   | They had been instructed theoretically in$4$ their religion, 
317:463,26@e   | but never required to$9$ bring it into daily practice$0$. To$9$ be 
317:463,27@e   | distinguished for$4$ elegance and accomplishments ~~ the 
317:463,28@e   | authorised object$0$ of their youth ~~ could have had no$2$ useful 
317:463,29@e   | influence$0$ that$6#2$ way, no$2$ moral effect$0$ on$4$ the mind$0$. He had 
317:463,30@e   | meant them to$9$ be good, but his cares$0$ had been directed 
317:463,31@e   | to$4$ the understanding and manners, not the disposition; 
317:463,32@e   | and of the necessity of self-denial and humility, he feared 
317:463,33@e   | they had never heard from any lips that$6#1$ could profit 
317:463,34@e   | them. 
317:463,35@e   | Bitterly did he deplore a deficiency which$6#1$ now he could 
317:463,36@e   | scarcely comprehend to$9$ have been possible. Wretchedly 
317:463,37@e   | did he feel, that$3$ with all the cost$0$ and care$0$ of an anxious 
317:463,38@e   | and expensive education, he had brought up$5$ his daughters, 
317:464,01@e   | without their understanding their first duties, or his being$1$ 
317:464,02@e   | acquainted with their character and temper. 
317:464,03['  ]| The high spirit and strong passions of $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth 
317:464,04['  ]| especially, were made known to$4$ him only in$4$ their sad 
317:464,05['  ]| result$0$. She was not to$9$ be prevailed on$5$ to$9$ leave$1$ $MP#D$Mr%*Crawford. 
317:464,06['  ]| She hoped to$9$ marry him, and they continued 
317:464,07['  ]| together till she was obliged to$9$ be convinced that$3$ such 
317:464,08['  ]| hope$0$ was vain, and till the disappointment and wretchedness 
317:464,09['  ]| arising from the conviction, rendered her temper so$5#1$ 
317:464,10['  ]| bad, and her feelings for$4$ him so$5#1$ like$4$ hatred, as to$9$ make$1$ 
317:464,11['  ]| them for$4$ a while$0$ each other's punishment, and then induce 
317:464,12['  ]| a voluntary separation. 
317:464,13['  ]| She had lived with him to$9$ be reproached as the ruin$0$ of 
317:464,14['  ]| all his happiness in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, and carried away no$2$ better 
317:464,15['  ]| consolation in$4$ leaving him, than that$3$ she \had\ divided 
317:464,16['  ]| them. What can exceed the misery of such a mind$0$ in$4$ 
317:464,17['  ]| such a situation? 
317:464,18['  ]| $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth had no$2$ difficulty in$4$ procuring a divorce; 
317:464,19['  ]| and so$5#2$ ended a marriage contracted under such circumstances 
317:464,20['  ]| as to$9$ make$1$ any better end$0$, the effect$0$ of good luck, 
317:464,21['  ]| not to$9$ be reckoned on$5$. She had despised him, and loved 
317:464,22['  ]| another ~~ and he had been very much aware that$3$ it was 
317:464,23['  ]| so$5#2$. The indignities of stupidity, and the disappointments 
317:464,24['  ]| of selfish passion, can excite little pity$0$. His punishment 
317:464,25['  ]| followed his conduct$0$, as did a deeper punishment, the 
317:464,26['  ]| deeper guilt of his wife. \He\ was released from the engagement 
317:464,27['  ]| to$9$ be mortified and unhappy, till some other pretty$2$ 
317:464,28['  ]| girl could attract him into matrimony again, and he might 
317:464,29['  ]| set$1$ forward$5$ on$4$ a second$2$, and it is to$9$ be hoped, more 
317:464,29['  ]| prosperous 
317:464,30['  ]| trial of the state$0$ ~~ if duped, to$9$ be duped at least 
317:464,31['  ]| with good*humour and good luck; while$3$ \she\ must withdraw 
317:464,32['  ]| with infinitely stronger feelings to$4$ a retirement and 
317:464,33['  ]| reproach$0$, which$6#1$ could allow no$2$ second$2$ spring$0$ of hope$0$ or 
317:464,34['  ]| character. 
317:464,35['  ]| Where she could be placed, became a subject$0$ of most 
317:464,36['  ]| melancholy$2$ and momentous consultation. $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris, 
317:464,37['  ]| whose$6#1$ attachment seemed to$9$ augment with the demerits 
317:464,38['  ]| of her niece, would have had her received at home, and 
317:465,01['  ]| countenanced by$4$ them all. $MP#E$Sir*Thomas would not hear 
317:465,02['  ]| of it, and $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's anger$0$ against $MP#A$Fanny was so$5#1$ much 
317:465,03['  ]| the greater, from considering \her\ residence there as the 
317:465,04['  ]| motive. She persisted in$4$ placing his scruples to$4$ \her\ 
317:465,05['  ]| account$0$, though $MP#E$Sir*Thomas very solemnly assured her, 
317:465,06['  ]| that$3$ 
317:465,06@e   | had there been no$2$ young woman in$4$ question$0$, had 
317:465,07@e   | there been no$2$ young person of either sex belonging to$4$ him, 
317:465,08@e   | to$9$ be endangered by$4$ the society, or hurt by$4$ the character 
317:465,09@e   | of $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth, he would never have offered so$5#1$ great 
317:465,10@e   | an insult to$4$ the neighbourhood, as to$9$ expect it to$9$ notice$1$ 
317:465,11@e   | her. As a daughter ~~ he hoped a penitent one ~~ she should 
317:465,12@e   | be protected by$4$ him, and secured in$4$ every comfort$0$, and 
317:465,13@e   | supported by$4$ every encouragement to$9$ do right$0$, which$6#1$ 
317:465,14@e   | their relative situations admitted; but farther than \that$6#2$\, 
317:465,15@e   | he would not go. $MP#H$Maria had destroyed her own$2$ character, 
317:465,16@e   | and he would not by$4$ a vain attempt$0$ to$9$ restore what never 
317:465,17@e   | could be restored, be affording his sanction to$4$ vice, or in$4$ 
317:465,18@e   | seeking to$9$ lessen its disgrace$0$, be anywise accessary to$9$ 
317:465,19@e   | introducing such misery in$4$ another man's family, as he 
317:465,20@e   | had known himself. 
317:465,21['  ]| It ended in$4$ $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's resolving to$9$ quit Mansfield, 
317:465,22['  ]| and devote herself to$4$ her unfortunate $MP#H$Maria, and in$4$ an 
317:465,23['  ]| establishment being$1$ formed for$4$ them in$4$ another country ~~ 
317:465,24['  ]| remote and private$2$, where, shut up$5$ together with little 
317:465,25['  ]| society, on$4$ one side$0$ no$2$ affection, on$4$ the other, no$2$ judgment, 
317:465,26['  ]| it may$1$ be reasonably supposed that$3$ their tempers became 
317:465,27['  ]| their mutual punishment. 
317:465,28['  ]| $MP#J$Mrs%*Norris's removal from Mansfield was the great 
317:465,29['  ]| supplementary comfort$0$ of $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's life. 
317:465,29@e   | His opinion 
317:465,30@e   | of her had been sinking from the day of his return$0$ from 
317:465,31@e   | Antigua; in$4$ every transaction together from that$6#2$ period, 
317:465,32@e   | in$4$ their daily intercourse, in$4$ business, or in$4$ chat$0$, she had 
317:465,33@e   | been regularly losing ground in$4$ his esteem$0$, and convincing 
317:465,34@e   | him that$3$ either time had done her much disservice, or that$3$ 
317:465,35@e   | he had considerably over-rated her sense, and wonderfully 
317:465,36@e   | borne with her manners before$5$. He had felt her as an 
317:465,37@e   | hourly evil, which$6#1$ was so$5#1$ much the worse, as there seemed 
317:465,38@e   | no$2$ chance$0$ of its ceasing but with life; she seemed a part$0$ of 
317:466,01@e   | himself, that$6#1$ must be borne for*ever. 
317:466,01['  ]| To$9$ be relieved from 
317:466,02['  ]| her, therefore, was so$5#1$ great a felicity, that$3$ had she not left 
317:466,03['  ]| bitter remembrances behind her, there might have been 
317:466,04['  ]| danger of his learning almost to$9$ approve the evil which$6#1$ 
317:466,05['  ]| produced such a good. 
317:466,06['  ]| She was regretted by$4$ no*one at Mansfield. She had 
317:466,07['  ]| never been able to$9$ attach even$5$ those she loved best, and 
317:466,08['  ]| since $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth's elopement, her temper had been in$4$ 
317:466,09['  ]| a state$0$ of such irritation, as to$9$ make$1$ her every*where 
317:466,10['  ]| tormenting. Not even$5$ $MP#A$Fanny had tears for$4$ aunt $MP#J$Norris ~~ 
317:466,11['  ]| not even$5$ when she was gone for*ever. 
317:466,12['  ]| That$3$ $MP#I$Julia escaped better than $MP#H$Maria was owing, in$4$ some 
317:466,13['  ]| measure$0$, to$4$ a favourable difference of disposition and 
317:466,14['  ]| circumstance, but in$4$ a greater to$4$ her having been less the 
317:466,15['  ]| darling of that$6#2$ very aunt, less flattered, and less spoilt. 
317:466,16['  ]| Her beauty and acquirements had held but a second$2$ place$0$. 
317:466,17['  ]| She had been always used to$9$ think herself a little inferior to$4$ 
317:466,18['  ]| $MP#H$Maria. Her temper was naturally the easiest of the two, 
317:466,19['  ]| her feelings, though quick$2$, were more controulable; and 
317:466,20['  ]| education had not given her so$5#1$ very hurtful a degree of 
317:466,21['  ]| self-consequence. 
317:466,22['  ]| She had submitted the best to$4$ the disappointment in$4$ 
317:466,23['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford. After$4$ the first bitterness of the conviction 
317:466,24['  ]| of being$1$ slighted was over, she had been tolerably soon 
317:466,25['  ]| in$4$ a fair way of not thinking of him again; and when the 
317:466,26['  ]| acquaintance was renewed in$4$ town, and $MP#K$Mr%*Rushworth's 
317:466,27['  ]| house became $MP#D$Crawford's object$0$, she had had the merit$0$ of 
317:466,28['  ]| withdrawing herself from it, and of chusing that$6#2$ time to$9$ 
317:466,29['  ]| pay$1$ a visit$0$ to$4$ her other friends, in$4$ order to$9$ secure$1$ herself 
317:466,30['  ]| from being$1$ again too$5#1$ much attracted. This had been her 
317:466,31['  ]| motive in$4$ going to$4$ her cousins. $MP#R$Mr%*Yates's convenience 
317:466,32['  ]| had had nothing to$9$ do with it. She had been allowing his 
317:466,33['  ]| attentions some time, but with very little idea of ever 
317:466,34['  ]| accepting him; and, had not her sister's conduct$0$ burst$1$ 
317:466,35['  ]| forth as it did, and her increased dread$0$ of her father and of 
317:466,36['  ]| home, on$4$ that$6#2$ event ~~ imagining its certain consequence 
317:466,37['  ]| to$4$ herself would be greater severity and restraint ~~ made 
317:466,38['  ]| her hastily resolve$1$ on$4$ avoiding such immediate horrors at 
317:467,01['  ]| all risks, it is probable that$3$ $MP#R$Mr%*Yates would never have 
317:467,02['  ]| succeeded. She had not eloped with any worse feelings 
317:467,03['  ]| than those of selfish alarm$0$. It had appeared to$4$ her the 
317:467,04['  ]| only thing to$9$ be done. $MP#H$Maria's guilt had induced $MP#I$Julia's 
317:467,05['  ]| folly. 
317:467,06['  ]| $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, ruined by$4$ early independence and bad 
317:467,07['  ]| domestic$2$ example, indulged in$4$ the freaks of a cold-blooded 
317:467,08['  ]| vanity a little too$5#1$ long. Once it had, by$4$ an opening 
317:467,09['  ]| undesigned and unmerited, led him into the way of 
317:467,10['  ]| happiness. Could he have been satisfied with the conquest 
317:467,11['  ]| of one amiable woman's affections, could he have found 
317:467,12['  ]| sufficient exultation in$4$ overcoming the reluctance, in$4$ 
317:467,13['  ]| working himself into the esteem$0$ and tenderness of $MP#A$Fanny*Price, 
317:467,14['  ]| there would have been every probability of success 
317:467,15['  ]| and felicity for$4$ him. His affection had already done 
317:467,16['  ]| something. Her influence$0$ over him had already given him 
317:467,17['  ]| some influence$0$ over her. Would he have deserved more, 
317:467,18['  ]| there can be no$2$ doubt$0$ that$3$ more would have been obtained; 
317:467,19['  ]| especially when that$6#2$ marriage had taken place$0$, which$6#1$ 
317:467,20['  ]| would have given him the assistance of her conscience in$4$ 
317:467,21['  ]| subduing her first inclination, and brought them very 
317:467,22['  ]| often together. Would he have persevered, and uprightly, 
317:467,23['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny must have been his reward$0$ ~~ and a reward$0$ very 
317:467,24['  ]| voluntarily bestowed ~~ within a reasonable period from 
317:467,25['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's marrying $MP#C$Mary. 
317:467,26['  ]| Had he done as he intended, and as he knew he ought, by$4$ 
317:467,27['  ]| going down$5$ to$4$ Everingham after$4$ his return$0$ from Portsmouth, 
317:467,28['  ]| he might have been deciding his own$2$ happy destiny. 
317:467,29['  ]| But he was pressed to$9$ stay$1$ for$4$ $MP#ZH$Mrs%*Fraser's party; his 
317:467,30['  ]| staying was made of flattering consequence, and he was to$9$ 
317:467,31['  ]| meet$1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth there. Curiosity and vanity were 
317:467,32['  ]| both engaged, and the temptation of immediate pleasure 
317:467,33['  ]| was too$5#1$ strong for$4$ a mind$0$ unused to$9$ make$1$ any sacrifice$0$ to$4$ 
317:467,34['  ]| right$0$; he resolved to$9$ defer his Norfolk journey, resolved 
317:467,35['  ]| that$3$ writing should answer$1$ the purpose of it, or that$3$ its 
317:467,36['  ]| purpose was unimportant ~~ and staid. He saw $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth, 
317:467,37['  ]| was received by$4$ her with a coldness which$6#1$ ought 
317:467,38['  ]| to$9$ have been repulsive, and have established apparent 
317:468,01['  ]| indifference between them for*ever; but he was mortified, 
317:468,02['  ]| he could not bear$1$ to$9$ be thrown off by$4$ the woman whose$6#1$ 
317:468,03['  ]| smiles had been so$5#1$ wholly at his command$0$; 
317:468,03@d   | he must exert 
317:468,04@d   | himself to$9$ subdue so$5#1$ proud a display$0$ of resentment; it was 
317:468,05@d   | anger$0$ on$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's account$0$; he must get the better of it, 
317:468,06@d   | and make$1$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth $MP#H$Maria*Bertram again in$4$ her 
317:468,07@d   | treatment of himself. 
317:468,08['  ]| In$4$ this spirit he began the attack$0$; and by$4$ animated 
317:468,09['  ]| perseverance had soon re-established the sort of familiar 
317:468,10['  ]| intercourse ~~ of gallantry ~~ of flirtation which$6#1$ bounded his 
317:468,11['  ]| views, but in$4$ triumphing over the discretion, which$6#1$, 
317:468,12['  ]| though beginning in$4$ anger$0$, might have saved them both, 
317:468,13['  ]| he had put himself in$4$ the power of feelings on$4$ her side$0$, 
317:468,14['  ]| more strong than he had supposed. ~~ 
317:468,14@d   | She loved him; there 
317:468,15@d   | was no$2$ withdrawing attentions, avowedly dear$2#1$ to$4$ her. 
317:468,15['  ]| He 
317:468,16['  ]| was entangled by$4$ his own$2$ vanity, with as little excuse$0$ 
317:468,17['  ]| of love$0$ as possible, and without the smallest inconstancy 
317:468,18['  ]| of mind$0$ towards her cousin. ~~ To$9$ keep $MP#A$Fanny and the 
317:468,19['  ]| $MP#E1$Bertrams from a knowledge of what was passing became 
317:468,20['  ]| his first object$0$. Secrecy could not have been more 
317:468,21['  ]| desirable for$4$ $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth's credit$0$ than he felt it for$4$ his 
317:468,22['  ]| own$2$. ~~ When he returned from Richmond, he would have 
317:468,23['  ]| been glad to$9$ see $MP#H$Mrs%*Rushworth no$2$ more. ~~ All that$6#1$ 
317:468,24['  ]| followed was the result$0$ of her imprudence; and he went 
317:468,25['  ]| off with her at last$0$, because he could not help$1$ it, regretting 
317:468,26['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, even$5$ at the moment, but regretting her infinitely 
317:468,27['  ]| more, when all the bustle$0$ of the intrigue was over, and 
317:468,28['  ]| a very few months had taught him, by$4$ the force$0$ of contrast, 
317:468,29['  ]| to$9$ place$1$ a yet higher value$0$ on$4$ the sweetness of her temper, 
317:468,30['  ]| the purity of her mind$0$, and the excellence of her principles. 
317:468,31['  ]| That$3$ punishment, the public$2$ punishment of disgrace$0$, 
317:468,32['  ]| should in$4$ a just$2$ measure$0$ attend \his\ share$0$ of the offence, is, 
317:468,33['  ]| we know, not one of the barriers, which$6#1$ society gives to$4$ 
317:468,34['  ]| virtue. In$4$ this world, the penalty is less equal$2$ than could 
317:468,35['  ]| be wished; but without presuming to$9$ look$1$ forward$5$ to$4$ 
317:468,36['  ]| a juster appointment hereafter, we may$1$ fairly consider 
317:468,37['  ]| a man of sense like$4$ $MP#D$Henry*Crawford, to$9$ be providing for$4$ 
317:468,38['  ]| himself no$2$ small portion of vexation and regret$0$ ~~ vexation 
317:469,01['  ]| that$6#1$ must rise$1$ sometimes to$4$ self-reproach, and regret$0$ to$4$ 
317:469,02['  ]| wretchedness ~~ in$4$ having so$5#2$ requited hospitality, so$5#2$ injured 
317:469,03['  ]| family peace, so$5#2$ forfeited his best, most estimable and 
317:469,04['  ]| endeared acquaintance, and so$5#2$ lost the woman whom$6#1$ he 
317:469,05['  ]| had rationally, as well$5$ as passionately loved. 
317:469,06['  ]| After$3$ what had passed to$9$ wound$1#2$ and alienate the two 
317:469,07['  ]| families, the continuance of the $MP#E1$Bertrams and $MP#M1$Grants in$4$ 
317:469,08['  ]| such close$2$ neighbourhood would have been most distressing; 
317:469,09['  ]| but the absence of the latter, for$4$ some months purposely 
317:469,10['  ]| lengthened, ended very fortunately in$4$ the necessity, or at 
317:469,11['  ]| least the practicability of a permanent removal. $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
317:469,12['  ]| through$4$ an interest$0$ on$4$ which$6#1$ he had almost ceased to$9$ form$1$ 
317:469,13['  ]| hopes$0$, succeeded to$4$ a stall in$4$ Westminster, which$6#1$, as 
317:469,14['  ]| affording an occasion$0$ for$4$ leaving Mansfield, an excuse$0$ for$4$ 
317:469,15['  ]| residence in$4$ London, and an increase$0$ of income to$9$ answer$1$ 
317:469,16['  ]| the expenses of the change$0$, was highly acceptable to$4$ those 
317:469,17['  ]| who$6#1$ went, and those who$6#1$ staid. 
317:469,18['  ]| $MP#N$Mrs%*Grant, with a temper to$9$ love$1$ and be loved, must 
317:469,19['  ]| have gone with some regret$0$, from the scenes and people she 
317:469,20['  ]| had been used to$4$; but the same happiness of disposition 
317:469,21['  ]| must in$4$ any place$0$ and any society, secure$1$ her a great deal$0$ 
317:469,22['  ]| to$9$ enjoy, and she had again a home to$9$ offer$1$ $MP#C$Mary; and 
317:469,23['  ]| $MP#C$Mary had had enough of her own$2$ friends, enough of vanity, 
317:469,24['  ]| ambition, love$0$, and disappointment in$4$ the course$0$ of the last$0$ 
317:469,25['  ]| half year, to$9$ be in$4$ need$0$ of the true kindness of her sister's 
317:469,26['  ]| heart, and the rational tranquillity of her ways. ~~ They 
317:469,27['  ]| lived together; and when $MP#M$Dr%*Grant had brought on$5$ 
317:469,28['  ]| apoplexy and death, by$4$ three great institutionary dinners 
317:469,29['  ]| in$4$ one week, they still$5$ lived together; for$3$ $MP#C$Mary, though 
317:469,30['  ]| perfectly resolved against ever attaching herself to$4$ 
317:469,31['  ]| a younger brother again, was long in$4$ finding among the 
317:469,32['  ]| dashing representatives, or idle heir*apparents, who$6#1$ were 
317:469,33['  ]| at the command$0$ of her beauty, and her 20_000L% any*one 
317:469,34['  ]| who$6#1$ could satisfy the better taste she had acquired at 
317:469,35['  ]| Mansfield, whose$6#1$ character and manners could authorise 
317:469,36['  ]| a hope$0$ of the domestic$2$ happiness she had there learnt to$9$ 
317:469,37['  ]| estimate$1$, or put $MP#B$Edmund*Bertram sufficiently out$5$ of her 
317:469,38['  ]| head$0$. 
317:470,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund had greatly the advantage of her in$4$ this 
317:470,02['  ]| respect$0$. He had not to$9$ wait and wish$1$ with vacant 
317:470,03['  ]| affections for$4$ an object$0$ worthy to$9$ succeed her in$4$ them. 
317:470,04['  ]| Scarcely had he done regretting $MP#C$Mary*Crawford, and 
317:470,05['  ]| observing to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny how impossible it was that$3$ he should 
317:470,06['  ]| ever meet$1$ with such another woman, before$3$ it began to$9$ 
317:470,07['  ]| strike him 
317:470,07@b   | whether a very different kind$0$ of woman might 
317:470,08@b   | not do just$5$ as well$5$ ~~ or a great deal$0$ better; whether $MP#A$Fanny 
317:470,09@b   | herself were not growing as dear$2#1$, as important to$4$ him in$4$ all 
317:470,10@b   | her smiles, and all her ways, as $MP#C$Mary*Crawford had ever 
317:470,11@b   | been; and whether it might not be a possible, an hopeful 
317:470,12@b   | undertaking to$9$ persuade her that$3$ her warm$2$ and sisterly regard$0$ 
317:470,13@b   | for$4$ him would be foundation enough for$4$ wedded love$0$. 
317:470,14['  ]| I purposely abstain from dates on$4$ this occasion$0$, that$3$ 
317:470,15['  ]| every*one may$1$ be at liberty to$9$ fix their own$2$, aware that$3$ 
317:470,16['  ]| the cure$0$ of unconquerable passions, and the transfer$0$ of 
317:470,17['  ]| unchanging attachments, must vary much as to$4$ time in$4$ 
317:470,18['  ]| different people. ~~ I only intreat every*body to$9$ believe that$3$ 
317:470,19['  ]| exactly at the time when it was quite natural$2$ that$3$ it should 
317:470,20['  ]| be so$5#2$, and not a week earlier, $MP#B$Edmund did cease to$9$ care$1$ 
317:470,21['  ]| about$4$ $MP#C$Miss*Crawford, and became as anxious to$9$ marry 
317:470,22['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny, as $MP#A$Fanny herself could desire$1$. 
317:470,23['  ]| With such a regard$0$ for$4$ her, indeed, as his had long been, 
317:470,24['  ]| a regard$0$ founded on$4$ the most endearing claims of innocence 
317:470,25['  ]| and helplessness, and completed by$4$ every recommendation 
317:470,26['  ]| of growing worth, what could be more natural$2$ than the 
317:470,27['  ]| change$0$? Loving, guiding, protecting her, as he had been 
317:470,28['  ]| doing ever since her being$1$ ten years old, her mind$0$ in$4$ so$5#1$ 
317:470,29['  ]| great a degree formed by$4$ his care$0$, and her comfort$0$ 
317:470,30['  ]| depending on$4$ his kindness, an object$0$ to$4$ him of such close$2$ 
317:470,31['  ]| and peculiar interest$0$, dearer by$4$ all his own$2$ importance 
317:470,32['  ]| with her than any*one else at Mansfield, what was there 
317:470,33['  ]| now to$9$ add, but that$3$ he should learn to$9$ prefer soft light$2$ 
317:470,34['  ]| eyes to$4$ sparkling dark$2$ ones. ~~ And being$1$ always with her, 
317:470,35['  ]| and always talking confidentially, and his feelings exactly 
317:470,36['  ]| in$4$ that$6#2$ favourable state$0$ which$6#1$ a recent disappointment 
317:470,37['  ]| gives, those soft light$2$ eyes could not be very long in$4$ 
317:470,38['  ]| obtaining the pre-eminence. 
317:471,01['  ]| Having once set$1$ out$5$, and felt that$3$ he had done so$5#2$, on$4$ 
317:471,02['  ]| this road to$4$ happiness, there was nothing on$4$ the side$0$ of 
317:471,03['  ]| prudence to$9$ stop$1$ him or make$1$ his progress slow; no$2$ doubts$0$ 
317:471,04['  ]| of her deserving, no$2$ fears from opposition of taste, no$2$ need$0$ 
317:471,05['  ]| of drawing new hopes$0$ of happiness from dissimilarity of 
317:471,06['  ]| temper. Her mind$0$, disposition, opinions, and habits 
317:471,07['  ]| wanted no$2$ half concealment, no$2$ self deception on$4$ the 
317:471,08['  ]| present$0#1$, no$2$ reliance on$4$ future improvement. Even$5$ in$4$ the 
317:471,09['  ]| midst of his late infatuation, he had acknowledged $MP#A$Fanny's 
317:471,10['  ]| mental superiority. What must be his sense of it now, 
317:471,11['  ]| therefore? She was of course$8$ only too$5#1$ good for$4$ him; but 
317:471,12['  ]| as nobody minds having what is too$5#1$ good for$4$ them, he was 
317:471,13['  ]| very steadily earnest in$4$ the pursuit of the blessing, and it 
317:471,14['  ]| was not possible that$3$ encouragement from her should be 
317:471,15['  ]| long wanting. Timid, anxious, doubting as she was, it was 
317:471,16['  ]| still$5$ impossible that$3$ such tenderness as hers should not, at 
317:471,17['  ]| times, hold$1$ out$5$ the strongest hope$0$ of success, though it 
317:471,18['  ]| remained for$4$ a later period to$9$ tell him the whole$2$ delightful 
317:471,19['  ]| and astonishing truth. His happiness in$4$ knowing himself 
317:471,20['  ]| to$9$ have been so$5#1$ long the beloved of such a heart, must have 
317:471,21['  ]| been great enough to$9$ warrant any strength of language in$4$ 
317:471,22['  ]| which$6#1$ he could cloathe it to$4$ her or to$4$ himself; it must 
317:471,23['  ]| have been a delightful happiness! But there was happiness 
317:471,24['  ]| elsewhere which$6#1$ no$2$ description can reach$1$. Let no*one 
317:471,25['  ]| presume to$9$ give the feelings of a young woman on$4$ 
317:471,26['  ]| receiving the assurance of that$6#2$ affection of which$6#1$ she has 
317:471,27['  ]| scarcely allowed herself to$9$ entertain a hope$0$. 
317:471,28['  ]| Their own$2$ inclinations ascertained, there were no$2$ 
317:471,29['  ]| difficulties behind, no$2$ drawback of poverty or parent. It 
317:471,30['  ]| was a match$0$ which$6#1$ $MP#E$Sir*Thomas's wishes$0$ had even$5$ forestalled. 
317:471,31['  ]| Sick of ambitious and mercenary connections, 
317:471,32['  ]| prizing more and more the sterling good of principle and 
317:471,33['  ]| temper, and chiefly anxious to$9$ bind by$4$ the strongest 
317:471,34['  ]| securities all that$6#1$ remained to$4$ him of domestic$2$ felicity, he 
317:471,35['  ]| had pondered with genuine satisfaction on$4$ the more than 
317:471,36['  ]| possibility of the two young friends finding their mutual 
317:471,37['  ]| consolation in$4$ each other for$4$ all that$6#1$ had occurred of 
317:471,37['  ]| disappointment 
317:471,38['  ]| to$4$ either; and the joyful consent$0$ which$6#1$ met 
317:472,01['  ]| $MP#B$Edmund's application, the high sense of having realised a 
317:472,02['  ]| great acquisition in$4$ the promise$0$ of $MP#A$Fanny for$4$ a daughter, 
317:472,03['  ]| formed just$5$ such a contrast with his early opinion on$4$ the 
317:472,04['  ]| subject$0$ when the poor little girl's coming had been first 
317:472,05['  ]| agitated, as time is for*ever producing between the plans 
317:472,06['  ]| and decisions of mortals, for$4$ their own$2$ instruction, and 
317:472,07['  ]| their neighbours' entertainment. 
317:472,08['  ]| $MP#A$Fanny was indeed the daughter that$6#1$ he wanted. His 
317:472,09['  ]| charitable kindness had been rearing a prime comfort$0$ for$4$ 
317:472,10['  ]| himself. His liberality had a rich repayment, and the 
317:472,11['  ]| general$2$ goodness of his intentions by$4$ her, deserved it. He 
317:472,12['  ]| might have made her childhood happier; but it had 
317:472,13['  ]| been an error of judgment only which$6#1$ had given him the 
317:472,14['  ]| appearance of harshness, and deprived him of her early 
317:472,15['  ]| love$0$; and now, on$4$ really knowing each other, their mutual 
317:472,16['  ]| attachment became very strong. After$4$ settling her at 
317:472,17['  ]| Thornton*Lacey with every kind$2$ attention to$4$ her comfort$0$, 
317:472,18['  ]| the object$0$ of almost every day was to$9$ see her there, or to$9$ 
317:472,19['  ]| get her away from it. 
317:472,20['  ]| Selfishly dear$2#1$ as she had long been to$4$ $MP#F$Lady*Bertram, she 
317:472,21['  ]| could not be parted with willingly by$4$ \her\. No$2$ happiness 
317:472,22['  ]| of son or niece could make$1$ her wish$1$ the marriage. But it 
317:472,23['  ]| was possible to$9$ part$1$ with her, because $MP#V$Susan remained to$9$ 
317:472,24['  ]| supply$1$ her place$0$. ~~ $MP#V$Susan became the stationary niece ~~ 
317:472,25['  ]| delighted to$9$ be so$5#2$! ~~ and equally well$5$ adapted for$4$ it by$4$ 
317:472,26['  ]| a readiness of mind$0$, and an inclination for$4$ usefulness, 
317:472,27['  ]| as $MP#A$Fanny had been by$4$ sweetness of temper, and strong 
317:472,28['  ]| feelings of gratitude. $MP#V$Susan could never be spared. First 
317:472,29['  ]| as a comfort$0$ to$4$ $MP#A$Fanny, then as an auxiliary, and last$2$ as her 
317:472,30['  ]| substitute, she was established at Mansfield, with every 
317:472,31['  ]| appearance of equal$2$ permanency. Her more fearless 
317:472,32['  ]| disposition and happier nerves made every*thing easy to$4$ 
317:472,33['  ]| her there. ~~ With quickness in$4$ understanding the tempers 
317:472,34['  ]| of those she had to$9$ deal$1$ with, and no$2$ natural$2$ timidity to$9$ 
317:472,35['  ]| restrain any consequent wishes$0$, she was soon welcome$2$, 
317:472,36['  ]| and useful to$4$ all; and after$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's removal, succeeded so$5#1$ 
317:472,37['  ]| naturally to$4$ her influence$0$ over the hourly comfort$0$ of her 
317:472,38['  ]| aunt, as gradually to$9$ become, perhaps, the most beloved 
317:473,01['  ]| of the two. ~~ In$4$ \her\ usefulness, in$4$ $MP#A$Fanny's excellence, in$4$ 
317:473,02['  ]| $MP#Q$William's continued good conduct$0$, and rising fame, and in$4$ 
317:473,03['  ]| the general$2$ well-doing and success of the other members 
317:473,04['  ]| of the family, all assisting to$9$ advance$1$ each other, and 
317:473,05['  ]| doing credit$0$ to$4$ his countenance and aid, $MP#E$Sir*Thomas saw 
317:473,06['  ]| repeated, and for*ever repeated reason$0$ to$9$ rejoice in$4$ what he 
317:473,07['  ]| had done for$4$ them all, and acknowledge the advantages 
317:473,08['  ]| of early hardship and discipline, and the consciousness of 
317:473,09['  ]| being$1$ born$1#1$ to$9$ struggle$1$ and endure. 
317:473,10['  ]| With so$5#1$ much true merit$0$ and true love$0$, and no$2$ want$0$ of 
317:473,11['  ]| fortune or friends, the happiness of the married cousins 
317:473,12['  ]| must appear as secure$2$ as earthly happiness can be. ~~ 
317:473,13['  ]| Equally formed for$4$ domestic$2$ life, and attached to$4$ country 
317:473,14['  ]| pleasures, their home was the home of affection and 
317:473,15['  ]| comfort$0$; and to$9$ complete$1$ the picture$0$ of good, the 
317:473,16['  ]| acquisition of Mansfield living by$4$ the death of $MP#M$Dr%*Grant, 
317:473,17['  ]| occurred just$5$ after$3$ they had been married long enough to$9$ 
317:473,18['  ]| begin to$9$ want$1$ an increase$0$ of income, and feel their distance$0$ 
317:473,19['  ]| from the paternal abode an inconvenience. 
317:473,20['  ]| On$4$ that$6#2$ event they removed to$4$ Mansfield, and the 
317:473,21['  ]| parsonage there, which$6#1$ under each of its two former 
317:473,22['  ]| owners, $MP#A$Fanny had never been able to$9$ approach$1$ but with 
317:473,23['  ]| some painful sensation$0#1$ of restraint or alarm$0$, soon grew as 
317:473,24['  ]| dear$2#1$ to$4$ her heart, and as thoroughly perfect$2$ in$4$ her eyes, 
317:473,25['  ]| as every*thing else, within the view$0$ and patronage of 
317:473,26['  ]| Mansfield*Park, had long been.
