@@@@@ And so saying, she walked hastily out
of @@@@@ And so saying, she walked hastily out of the room, leaving awkward feelings to more than one, but exciting small compassion in any except Fanny, who had been a quiet auditor of the whole, and who could not think of her as under the agitations of jealousy without great pity A short silence succeeded her leaving them; but her brother soon returned to business and Lovers’ Vows, and was eagerly looking over the play, with MrYates’s help, to ascertain what scenery would be necessary—while Maria and Henry Crawford conversed together in an under-voice, and the declaration with which she began of, “I am sure I would give up the part to Julia most willingly, but that though I shall probably do it very ill, I feel persuaded she would do it worse,” was doubtless receiving all the compliments it called for When this had lasted some time, the division of the party was completed by Tom Bertram and MrYates walking off together to 121 Jane Austen consult farther in the room now beginning to be called the Theatre, and Miss Bertram’s resolving to go down to the Parsonage herself with the offer of Amelia to Miss Crawford; and Fanny remained alone The first use she made of her solitude was to take up the volume which had been left on the table, and begin to acquaint herself with the play of which she had heard so muchHer curiosity was all awake, and she ran through it with an eagerness which was suspended only by intervals of astonishment, that it could be chosen in the present instance, that it could be proposed and accepted in a private theatre! Agatha and Amelia appeared to her in their different ways so totally improper for home representation—the situation of one, and the language of the other, so unfit to be expressed by any woman of modesty, that she could hardly suppose her cousins could be aware of what they were engaging in; and longed to have them roused as soon as possible by the remonstrance which Edmund would certainly make 122 Mansfield Park CHAPTER XV MISS CRAWFORD accepted the part very readily; and soon after Miss Bertram’s return from the Parsonage, MrRushworth arrived, and another character was consequently castHe had the offer of Count Cassel and Anhalt, and at first did not know which to chuse, and wanted Miss Bertram to direct him; but upon being made to understand the different style of the characters, and which was which, and recollecting that he had once seen the play in London, and had thought Anhalt a very stupid fellow, he soon decided for the Count Miss Bertram approved the decision, for the less he had to learn the better; and though she could not sympathise in his wish that the Count and Agatha might be to act together, nor wait very patiently while he was slowly turning over the leaves with the hope of still discovering such a scene, she very kindly took his part in hand, and curtailed every speech that admitted being shortened; besides pointing out the necessity of his being very much dressed, and chusing his coloursRushworth liked the idea of his finery very well, though affecting to despise it; and was too much engaged with what his own appearance would be to think of the others, or draw any of those conclusions, or feel any of that displeasure which Maria had been half prepared for Thus much was settled before Edmund, who had been out all the morning, knew anything of the matter; but when he entered the drawing-room before dinner, the buzz of discussion was high between Tom, Maria, and MrRushworth stepped forward with great alacrity to tell him the agreeable news “We have got a play,” said he“It is to be Lovers’ Vows; and I am to be Count Cassel, and am to come in first with a blue dress and a pink satin cloak, and afterwards am to have another fine fancy suit, by way of a shooting-dressI do not know how I shall like it 123 Jane Austen Fanny’s eyes followed Edmund, and her heart beat for him as she heard this speech, and saw his look, and felt what his sensations must be “Lovers’ Vows!” in a tone of the greatest amazement, was his only reply to MrRushworth, and he turned towards his brother and sisters as if hardly doubting a contradiction“After all our debatings and difficulties, we find there is nothing that will suit us altogether so well, nothing so unexceptionable, as Lovers’ VowsThe wonder is that it should not have been thought of beforeMy stupidity was abominable, for here we have all the advantage of what I saw at Ecclesford; and it is so useful to have anything of a model! We have cast almost every part “But what do you do for women?” said Edmund gravely, and looking at Maria Maria blushed in spite of herself as she answered, “I take the part which Lady Ravenshaw was to have done, and” (with a bolder eye) “Miss Crawford is to be Amelia | | 6:19 am |

When she had spoken it, she recollected @@@@@ When she had spoken it, she recollected herself, and wished it unsaid; but there was no need of confusion; for her brother saw her only as the supposed inmate of Mansfield parsonage, and replied 257 Jane Austen but to invite her in the kindest manner to his own house, and to claim the best right in her “You must give us more than half your time,” said heGrant to have an equal claim with Fanny and myself, for we shall both have a right in youFanny will be so truly your sister!” Mary had only to be grateful and give general assurances; but she was now very fully purposed to be the guest of neither brother nor sister many months longer “You will divide your year between London and Northamptonshire?” “Yes “That’s right; and in London, of course, a house of your own: no longer with the AdmiralMy dearest Henry, the advantage to you of getting away from the Admiral before your manners are hurt by the contagion of his, before you have contracted any of his foolish opinions, or learned to sit over your dinner as if it were the best blessing of life!

“You can probably guess what it isJeb and @@@@@ “You can probably guess what it isJeb and Jamie spent all night jabbering at me” I waited for the question, staring across the dark hall at the rice bag–last night's pillowIn my peripheral vision, I saw his hand come up, and I cringed into the wall “I'm not going to hurt you,” he said again, impatient, and cupped my chin in his rough hand, pulling my face around so I had to look at him My heart stuttered when he touched me, and there was suddenly too much moisture in my eyes I blinked, trying to clear them He said my name slowly–unwillingly, I could tell, though his voice was even and toneless“Is Melanie still alive–still part of you? Tell me the truth Melanie attacked with the brute strength of a wrecking ballIt was physically painful, like the sudden stab of a migraine headache, where she tried to force her way out Stop it! Can't you see?
