1Fanny, with all her faults of ignorance and timidity, was fixed at Mansfield Park, and learning to transfer in its
2favour much of her attachment to her former home, grew up there not unhappily among her cousins. There was no positive
3ill-nature in Maria or Julia; and though Fanny was often mortified by their treatment of her, she thought too lowly of
4her own claims to feel injured by it. From about the time of her entering the family, Lady Bertram, in consequence of a
5little ill-health, and a great deal of indolence, gave up the house in town, which she had been used to occupy every
6spring, and remained wholly in the country, leaving Sir Thomas to attend his duty in Parliament, with whatever increase
7or diminution of comfort might arise from her absence. In the country, therefore, the Miss Bertrams continued to
8exercise their memories, practise their duets, and grow tall and womanly: and their father saw them becoming in person,
9manner, and accomplishments, everything that could satisfy his anxiety. His eldest son was careless and extravagant, and
10had already given him much uneasiness; but his other children promised him nothing but good. His daughters, he felt,
11while they retained the name of Bertram, must be giving it new grace, and in quitting it, he trusted, would extend its
12respectable alliances; and the character of Edmund, his strong good sense and uprightness of mind, bid most fairly for
13utility, honour, and happiness to himself and all his connexions. He was to be a clergyman. Amid the cares and the
14complacency which his own children suggested, Sir Thomas did not forget to do what he could for the children of Mrs.
15Price: he assisted her liberally in the education and disposal of her sons as they became old enough for a determinate
16pursuit; and Fanny, though almost totally separated from her family, was sensible of the truest satisfaction in hearing
17of any kindness towards them, or of anything at all promising in their situation or conduct. Once, and once only, in the
18course of many years, had she the happiness of being with William. Of the rest she saw nothing: nobody seemed to think
19of her ever going amongst them again, even for a visit, nobody at home seemed to want her; but William determining, soon
20after her removal, to be a sailor, was invited to spend a week with his sister in Northamptonshire before he went to
21sea. Their eager affection in meeting, their exquisite delight in being together, their hours of happy mirth, and
22moments of serious conference, may be imagined; as well as the sanguine views and spirits of the boy even to the last,
23and the misery of the girl when he left her. Luckily the visit happened in the Christmas holidays, when she could
24directly look for comfort to her cousin Edmund; and he told her such charming things of what William was to do, and be
25hereafter, in consequence of his profession, as made her gradually admit that the separation might have some use.
26Edmund's friendship never failed her: his leaving Eton for Oxford made no change in his kind dispositions, and only
27afforded more frequent opportunities of proving them. Without any display of doing more than the rest, or any fear of
28doing too much, he was always true to her interests, and considerate of her feelings, trying to make her good qualities
29understood, and to conquer the diffidence which prevented their being more apparent; giving her advice, consolation, and
30encouragement. Kept back as she was by everybody else, his single support could not bring her forward; but his
31attentions were otherwise of the highest importance in assisting the improvement of her mind, and extending its
32pleasures. He knew her to be clever, to have a quick apprehension as well as good sense, and a fondness for reading,
33which, properly directed, must be an education in itself. Miss Lee taught her French, and heard her read the daily
34portion of history; but he recommended the books which charmed her leisure hours, he encouraged her taste, and corrected
35her judgment: he made reading useful by talking to her of what she read, and heightened its attraction by judicious
36praise. In return for such services she loved him better than anybody in the world except William: her heart was divided
37between the two.
