1The meeting was very satisfactory on each side. Miss Crawford found a sister without preciseness or rusticity, a
2sister's husband who looked the gentleman, and a house commodious and well fitted up; and Mrs. Grant received in those
3whom she hoped to love better than ever a young man and woman of very prepossessing appearance. Mary Crawford was
4remarkably pretty; Henry, though not handsome, had air and countenance; the manners of both were lively and pleasant,
5and Mrs. Grant immediately gave them credit for everything else. She was delighted with each, but Mary was her dearest
6object; and having never been able to glory in beauty of her own, she thoroughly enjoyed the power of being proud of her
7sister's. She had not waited her arrival to look out for a suitable match for her: she had fixed on Tom Bertram; the
8eldest son of a baronet was not too good for a girl of twenty thousand pounds, with all the elegance and accomplishments
9which Mrs. Grant foresaw in her; and being a warm-hearted, unreserved woman, Mary had not been three hours in the house
10before she told her what she had planned. Miss Crawford was glad to find a family of such consequence so very near them,
11and not at all displeased either at her sister's early care, or the choice it had fallen on. Matrimony was her object,
12provided she could marry well: and having seen Mr. Bertram in town, she knew that objection could no more be made to his
13person than to his situation in life. While she treated it as a joke, therefore, she did not forget to think of it
14seriously. The scheme was soon repeated to Henry. "And now," added Mrs. Grant, "I have thought of something to make it
15complete. I should dearly love to settle you both in this country; and therefore, Henry, you shall marry the youngest
16Miss Bertram, a nice, handsome, good-humoured, accomplished girl, who will make you very happy." Henry bowed and thanked
17her. "My dear sister," said Mary, "if you can persuade him into anything of the sort, it will be a fresh matter of
18delight to me to find myself allied to anybody so clever, and I shall only regret that you have not half a dozen
19daughters to dispose of. If you can persuade Henry to marry, you must have the address of a Frenchwoman. All that
20English abilities can do has been tried already. I have three very particular friends who have been all dying for him in
21their turn; and the pains which they, their mothers (very clever women), as well as my dear aunt and myself, have taken
22to reason, coax, or trick him into marrying, is inconceivable! He is the most horrible flirt that can be imagined. If
23your Miss Bertrams do not like to have their hearts broke, let them avoid Henry." "My dear brother, I will not believe
24this of you." "No, I am sure you are too good. You will be kinder than Mary. You will allow for the doubts of youth and
25inexperience. I am of a cautious temper, and unwilling to risk my happiness in a hurry. Nobody can think more highly of
26the matrimonial state than myself. I consider the blessing of a wife as most justly described in those discreet lines of
27the poet--'Heaven's last best gift.'" "There, Mrs. Grant, you see how he dwells on one word, and only look at his smile.
28I assure you he is very detestable; the Admiral's lessons have quite spoiled him." "I pay very little regard," said Mrs.
29Grant, "to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it
30down that they have not yet seen the right person." Dr. Grant laughingly congratulated Miss Crawford on feeling no
31disinclination to the state herself. "Oh yes! I am not at all ashamed of it. I would have everybody marry if they can do
32it properly: I do not like to have people throw themselves away; but everybody should marry as soon as they can do it to
33advantage."
