@@@@@It was pleasing to hear him speak so @@@@@It was pleasing to hear him speak so properly; here he had been acting as he ought to doTo be the friend of the poor and the oppressed! Nothing could be more grateful to her; and she was on the point of giving him an approving look, when it was all frightened off by his adding a something too pointed of his hoping soon to have an assistant, a friend, a guide in every plan of utility or charity for Everingham: a somebody that would make Everingham and all about it a dearer object than it had ever been yet She turned away, and wished he would not say such thingsShe was willing to allow he might have more good qualities than she had been wont to supposeShe began to feel the possibility of his turning out well at last; but he was and must ever be completely unsuited to her, and ought not to think of her He perceived that enough had been said of Everingham, and that it would be as well to talk of something else, and turned to Mansfield He could not have chosen better; that was a topic to bring back her attention and her looks almost instantlyIt was a real indulgence to her to hear or to speak of MansfieldNow so long divided from everybody who knew the place, she felt it quite the voice of a friend when he mentioned it, and led the way to her fond exclamations in praise of its beauties and comforts, and by his honourable tribute to its inhabitants allowed her to gratify her own heart in the warmest eulogium, in speaking of her uncle as all that was clever and good, and her aunt as having the sweetest of all sweet tempers He had a great attachment to Mansfield himself; he said so; he looked forward with the hope of spending much, very much, of his time there; always there, or in the neighbourhoodHe particularly built upon a very happy summer and autumn there this year; he felt that it would be so: he depended upon it; a summer and autumn infinitely superior to the lastAs animated, as diversified, as social, but with circumstances of superiority undescribable “Mansfield, Sotherton, Thornton Lacey,” he continued; “what a society will be comprised in those houses! And at Michaelmas, perhaps, a fourth may be added: some small hunting-box in the vicin355 Jane Austen ity of everything so dear; for as to any partnership in Thornton Lacey, as Edmund Bertram once good-humouredly proposed, I hope I foresee two objections: two fair, excellent, irresistible objections to that plan Fanny was doubly silenced here; though when the moment was passed, could regret that she had not forced herself into the acknowledged comprehension of one half of his meaning, and encouraged him to say something more of his sister and EdmundIt was a subject which she must learn to speak of, and the weakness that shrunk from it would soon be quite unpardonablePrice and his friend had seen all that they wished, or had time for, the others were ready to return; and in the course of their walk back, MrCrawford contrived a minute’s privacy for telling Fanny that his only business in Portsmouth was to see her; that he was come down for a couple of days on her account, and hers only, and because he could not endure a longer total separationShe was sorry, really sorry; and yet in spite of this and the two or three other things which she wished he had not said, she thought him altogether improved since she had seen him; he was much more gentle, obliging, and attentive to other people’s feelings than he had ever been at Mansfield; she had never seen him so agreeable—so near being agreeable; his behaviour to her father could not offend, and there was something particularly kind and proper in the notice he took of SusanHe was decidedly improvedShe wished the next day over, she wished he had come only for one day; but it was not so very bad as she would have expected: the pleasure of talking of Mansfield was so very great! Before they parted, she had to thank him for another pleasure, and one of no trivial kindHer father asked him to do them the honour of taking his mutton with them, and Fanny had time for only one thrill of horror, before he declared himself prevented by a prior engagementHe was engaged to dinner already both for that day and the next; he had met with some acquaintance at the Crown who would not be denied; he should have the honour, however, of waiting on them again on the morrow, etc and so they parted— Fanny in a state of actual felicity from escaping so horrible an evil! To have had him join their family dinner-party, and see all their 356 Mansfield Park deficiencies, would have been dreadful! Rebecca’s cookery and Rebecca’s waiting, and Betsey’s eating at table without restraint, and pulling everything about as she chose, were what Fanny herself was not yet enough inured to for her often to make a tolerable mealShe was nice only from natural delicacy, but he had been brought up in a school of luxury and epicurism 357 Jane Austen CHAPTER XLII THE PRICES were just setting off for church the next day when Mr | | Saturday, December 25th, 2010 | | 12:46 pm |
