Their vanity was in such good order that they seemed

Mansfield Park
to be quite free from it, and gave themselves no airs; while the praises
attending such behaviour, secured and brought round by their aunt,
served to strengthen them in believing they had no faults
Lady Bertram did not go into public with her daughtersShe was
too indolent even to accept a mother?s gratification in witnessing
their success and enjoyment at the expense of any personal trouble,
and the charge was made over to her sister, who desired nothing
better than a post of such honourable representation, and very thoroughly
relished the means it afforded her of mixing in society without
having horses to hire
Fanny had no share in the festivities of the season; but she enjoyed
being avowedly useful as her aunt?s companion when they
called away the rest of the family; and, as Miss Lee had left Mansfield,
she naturally became everything to Lady Bertram during the night
of a ball or a partyShe talked to her, listened to her, read to her; and
the tranquillity of such evenings, her perfect security in such a tetea-
tete from any sound of unkindness, was unspeakably welcome to
a mind which had seldom known a pause in its alarms or embarrassments
As to her cousins? gaieties, she loved to hear an account
of them, especially of the balls, and whom Edmund had danced
with; but thought too lowly of her own situation to imagine she
should ever be admitted to the same, and listened, therefore, without
an idea of any nearer concern in themUpon the whole, it was
a comfortable winter to her; for though it brought no William to
England, the never-failing hope of his arrival was worth much
The ensuing spring deprived her of her valued friend, the old grey
pony; and for some time she was in danger of feeling the loss in her
health as well as in her affections; for in spite of the acknowledged
importance of her riding on horse-back, no measures were taken for
mounting her again, ?because,? as it was observed by her aunts,
?she might ride one of her cousin?s cartier replica watches horses at any time when they did
not want them,? and as the Miss Bertrams regularly wanted their
horses every fine day, and had no idea of carrying their obliging
manners to the sacrifice of any real pleasure, that time, of course,
never cameThey took their cheerful rides in the fine mornings of
April and May; and Fanny either sat at home the whole day with
one aunt, or walked beyond her strength at the instigation of the
31
Jane Austen
other: Lady Bertram holding exercise to be as unnecessary for everybody
as it was unpleasant to herself; and MrsNorris, who was
walking all day, thinking everybody ought to walk as muchEdmund
was absent at this time, or the evil would have been earlier remedied
When he returned, to understand how Fanny was situated,
and perceived its ill effects, there seemed with him but one thing to
be done; and that ?Fanny must have a horse? was the resolute declaration
with which he opposed whatever could be urged by the
supineness of his mother, or the economy of his aunt, to make it
appear unimportantNorris could not help thinking that some
steady old thing might be found among the numbers belonging to
the Park that would do vastly well; or that one might be borrowed
of the steward; or that perhaps DrGrant might now and then lend
them the pony he sent to the postShe could not but consider it as
absolutely unnecessary, and even improper, that Fanny should have
a regular lady?s horse of her own, in the style of her cousinsShe was
sure Sir Thomas had never intended it: and she must say that, to be
making such a purchase in his absence, and adding to the great
expenses of his stable, at a time when a large part of his income was
unsettled, seemed to her very unjustifiable?Fanny must have a
horse,? was Edmund?s only replyNorris could not see it in the
same lightLady Bertram did: she entirely agreed with her son as to
the necessity of it, and as to its being considered necessary by his
father; she only pleaded against there being any hurry; she only
wanted him to wait till Sir Thomas?s louis vuitton graffiti bag return, and then Sir Thomas
might settle it all himselfHe would be at home in September, and
where would be the harm of only waiting till September?
Though Edmund was much more displeased with his aunt than
with his mother, as evincing least regard for her niece, he could not
help paying more attention to what she said; and at length determined
on a method of proceeding which would obviate the risk of
his father?s thinking he had done too much, and at the same time
procure for Fanny the immediate means of exercise, which he could
not bear she should be withoutHe had three horses of his own, but
not one that would carry a womanTwo of them were hunters; the
third, a useful road-horse: this third he resolved to exchange for one
that his cousin might ride; he knew where such a one was to be met

with; and having once made up his mind, the whole business was
soon completedThe new mare proved a treasure; with a very little
trouble she became exactly calculated for the purpose, and Fanny
was then put in almost full possession of herShe had not supposed
before that anything could ever suit her like the old grey pony; but
her delight in Edmund?s mare was far beyond any former pleasure
of the sort; and the addition it was ever receiving in the consideration
of that kindness from which her pleasure sprung, was beyond
all her words to expressShe regarded her cousin as an example of
everything good and great, as possessing worth which no one but
herself could ever appreciate, and as entitled to such gratitude from
her as no feelings could be strong enough to payHer sentiments
towards him were compounded of all that was respectful, grateful,
confiding, and tender
As the horse continued in name, as well as fact, the property of
Edmund, MrsNorris could tolerate its being for Fanny?s use; and
had Lady Bertram ever thought about her own objection again, he
might have been excused in her eyes for not waiting till Sir Thomas?s
return in September, for when September came Sir Thomas was
still abroad, and without omega seamaster orange any near prospect of finishing his business
Unfavourable circumstances had suddenly arisen at a moment
when he was beginning to turn all his thoughts towards England;
and the very great uncertainty in which everything was then involved
determined him on sending home his son, and waiting the
final arrangement by himself Tom arrived safely, bringing an excellent
account of his father?s health; but to very little purpose, as far as
MrsSir Thomas?s sending away his son
seemed to her so like a parent?s care, under the influence of a foreboding
of evil to himself, that she could not help feeling dreadful
presentiments; and as the long evenings of autumn came on, was so
terribly haunted by these ideas, in the sad solitariness of her cottage,
as to be obliged to take daily refuge in the dining-room of the Park
The return of winter engagements, however, was not without its effect;
and in the course of their progress, her mind became so pleasantly
occupied in superintending the fortunes of her eldest niece, as
tolerably to quiet her nerves?If poor Sir Thomas were fated never to
return, it would be peculiarly consoling to see their dear Maria well

married,? she very often thought; always when they were in the company
of men of fortune, and particularly on the introduction of a
young man who had recently succeeded to one of the largest estates
and finest places in the countryRushworth was from the first struck with the beauty of Miss
Bertram, and, being inclined to marry, soon fancied himself in love
He was a heavy young man, with not more than common sense;
but as there was nothing disagreeable in his figure or address, the
young lady was well pleased with her conquestBeing now in her
twenty-first year, Maria Bertram was beginning to think matrimony
a duty; and as a marriage with MrRushworth would give her the
enjoyment of a larger income than her father?s, as well as ensure her
the house in town, which was now a prime object, it became, by the
same rule of moral obligation, her evident duty to marry fake chanel bag Mr
Rushworth if she couldNorris was most zealous in promoting
the match, by every suggestion and contrivance likely to enhance
its desirableness to either party; and, among other means, by
seeking an intimacy with the gentleman?s mother, who at present
lived with him, and to whom she even forced Lady Bertram to go
through ten miles of indifferent road to pay a morning visitIt was
not long before a good understanding took place between this lady
and herselfRushworth acknowledged herself very desirous
that her son should marry, and declared that of all the young ladies
she had ever seen, Miss Bertram seemed, by her amiable qualities
and accomplishments, the best adapted to make him happy
Norris accepted the compliment, and admired the nice discernment
of character which could so well distinguish meritMaria was indeed
the pride and delight of them all?perfectly faultless?an angel;
and, of course, so surrounded by admirers, must be difficult in
her choice: but yet, as far as MrsNorris could allow herself to decide
on so short an acquaintance, MrRushworth appeared precisely
the young man to deserve and attach her
After dancing with each other at a proper number of balls, the
young people justified these opinions, and an engagement, with a
due reference to the absent Sir Thomas, was entered into, much to
the satisfaction of their respective families, and of the general lookers-

Wise in the ways of Charleston, she was
apprehensive for ScarlettEven in the spartan conditions of post-War

Byzantine labyrinth of overelaborate refinements lying in wait to trap

education with that particular bit of informationThe dear child had

with an hour or more at the Market, then a big breakfast at the
house-usually including Brewton's sausage-she was out and about by
ten
o'clock, freshly dressed, with Pansy trotting behind carrying her card
case and personal supply of sugar, an expected accompaniment to all
guests in rationing timesThere was enough time to pay as many as
five calls before she returned for dinner
Afternoons were taken up by visits to ladies having their "at home"
days or whist parties or excursions with new louis vuitton graffiti bag friends to King Street for
shopping or receiving callers with Miss EleanorScarlett loved the
constant activityEven more, she loved the attention paid her, Most
of all, she loved hearing Rhett's name on everyone's lipsA few old
women were openly criticalThey had disapproved of him when he
was
young, and they would never relentBut most of them forgave
his earlier sinsHe was older now, chastenedAnd he was devoted to
his motherOld ladies who had lost their own sons and grandsons in
the
War could well understand Eleanor Butler's glowing happinessThe
younger women regarded Scarlett with poorly concealed envyThey
delighted in telling all the facts, and all the rumors, about what Rhett
was doing when he left the city without explanationSome said that
their husbands knew for sure that Rhett was financing the political
movement to throw out the chanel replica bag carpetbagger government In the state
capital
Others whispered that he was recapturing the Butler family portraits
and furnishings at the point of a gunAll of them had stories about
his exploits during the War, when his sleek dark ship raced through
the
Union blockade fleet like a death-dealing shadowThey had a special
look on their faces when they talked about him, a mixture of curiosity
and romantic imaginingsRhett was more myth than manAnd he
was
Scarlett's husbandHow could they not envy her? Scarlett was at her
best when she was constantly busy, and these were good days for her

lolling upon a sofa
Before half this was said, Fanny was returned to her seat at the
table, and had taken up her work again; and Julia, who was in high
good-humour, from the pleasures of the day, did her the justice of
exclaiming, ?I must say, ma?am, that Fanny is as little upon the sofa
as anybody in the house
?Fanny,? said Edmund, after looking at her attentively, ?I am sure
you have the headache
She could not deny it, but said it was not very bad
?I can hardly believe you,? he replied; ?I know your looks too
wellHow long have you had it??
?Since a little before dinnerIt is nothing but the heat
?Did you go out in the heat??
?Go out! to be sure she did,? said MrsNorris: ?would you have
her stay within such a fine day as this? Were not we all out? Even
your mother was out to-day for above an hour

?Yes, indeed, Edmund,? added her ladyship, who had been thoroughly
awakened by MrsNorris?s sharp louis vuitton fake bags reprimand to Fanny; ?I
was out above an hourI sat three-quarters of an hour in the flowergarden,
while Fanny cut the roses; and very pleasant it was, I assure
you, but very hotIt was shady enough in the alcove, but I declare I
quite dreaded the coming home again
?Fanny has been cutting roses, has she??
?Yes, and I am afraid they will be the last this yearPoor thing! She
found it hot enough; but they were so full-blown that one could
not wait
?There was no help for it, certainly,? rejoined MrsNorris, in a
rather softened voice; ?but I question whether her headache might
not be caught then, sisterThere is nothing so likely to give it as
standing and stooping in a hot sun; but I dare say it will be well tomorrow
Suppose you let her have your aromatic vinegar; I always
forget to have mine filled
?She has got it,? said Lady Bertram; ?she has had it ever since she
came back from your house the second time
?What!? cried Edmund; ?has she been walking as well as cutting
roses; walking across the hot park to your house, and doing it twice,
ma?am? No wonder her head achesNorris was talking to Julia, and did not hear
?I was afraid it would be too much for her,? black gucci bag said Lady Bertram;
?but when the roses were gathered, your aunt wished to have them,
and then you know they must be taken home
?But were there roses enough to oblige her to go twice??
?No; but they were to be put into the spare room to dry; and,
unluckily, Fanny forgot to lock the door of the room and bring
away the key, so she was obliged to go again
Edmund got up and walked about the room, saying, ?And could
nobody be employed on such an errand but Fanny? Upon my word,
ma?am, it has been a very ill-managed business
?I am sure I do not know how it was to have been done better,?
cried MrsNorris, unable to be longer deaf; ?unless I had gone myself,
indeed; but I cannot be in two places at once; and I was talking
to MrGreen at that very time about your mother?s dairymaid, by
her desire, and had promised John Groom to write to MrsJefferies

I think nobody can justly accuse me of sparing myself upon any
occasion, but really I cannot do everything at onceAnd as for Fanny?s
just stepping down to my house for me?it is not much above a
quarter of a mile?I cannot think I was gucci women unreasonable to ask itHow
often do I pace it three times a day, early and late, ay, and in all
weathers too, and say nothing about it??
?I wish Fanny had half your strength, ma?am
?If Fanny would be more regular in her exercise, she would not be
knocked up so soonShe has not been out on horseback now this
long while, and I am persuaded that, when she does not ride, she
ought to walkIf she had been riding before, I should not have
asked it of herBut I thought it would rather do her good after
being stooping among the roses; for there is nothing so refreshing as
a walk after a fatigue of that kind; and though the sun was strong, it
was not so very hotBetween ourselves, Edmund,? nodding significantly
at his mother, ?it was cutting the roses, and dawdling about
in the flower-garden, that did the mischief
?I am afraid it was, indeed,? said the more candid Lady Bertram,
who had overheard her; ?I am very much afraid she caught the headache
there, for the heat was enough to kill anybodyIt was as much

him from the flower-beds, was almost too much for me

table, on which the supper-tray yet remained, brought a glass of
Madeira to Fanny, and obliged her to drink the greater partShe

Vexed as Edmund was with his mother and aunt, he was still more
angry with himselfHis own forgetfulness of her was worse than
anything which they had doneNothing of this would have happened
had she been properly considered; but she had been left four
days together without any choice of companions or exercise, and
without any excuse for avoiding whatever her unreasonable aunts
might requireHe was ashamed to think that for four days together
she had not had the power of riding, and very seriously resolved,

There is all the new calico, that was bought
last week, not touched yetI am sure I almost broke my back by
cutting it outYou should learn to think of other people; and, take
my word for it, it is a shocking trick for a young person to be always
lolling upon a sofa
Before half this was said, Fanny was returned to her seat at the
table, and had taken up her work again; and Julia, who was in high
good-humour, from the pleasures of the day, did her the justice of
exclaiming, ?I must say, ma?am, that Fanny is as little upon the sofa
as anybody in the house
?Fanny,? said Edmund, after looking at her attentively, ?I am sure
you have the headache
She could not deny it, but said it was not very bad
?I can hardly believe you,? he replied; ?I know your looks too
wellHow long have you had it??
?Since a little before dinnerIt is nothing but the heat
?Did you go out in the heat??
?Go out! to be sure she did,? said MrsNorris: ?would you have
her stay within such a fine day as this? Were not we all out? Even
your mother was out to-day for above an hour
