1"Do you know anything of my cousin's captain?" said Edmund; "Captain Marshall? You have a large acquaintance in the
2navy, I conclude?" "Among admirals, large enough; but," with an air of grandeur, "we know very little of the inferior
3ranks. Post-captains may be very good sort of men, but they do not belong to us. Of various admirals I could tell you a
4great deal: of them and their flags, and the gradation of their pay, and their bickerings and jealousies. But, in
5general, I can assure you that they are all passed over, and all very ill used. Certainly, my home at my uncle's brought
6me acquainted with a circle of admirals. Of Rears and Vices I saw enough. Now do not be suspecting me of a pun, I
7entreat." Edmund again felt grave, and only replied, "It is a noble profession." "Yes, the profession is well enough
8under two circumstances: if it make the fortune, and there be discretion in spending it; but, in short, it is not a
9favourite profession of mine. It has never worn an amiable form to me." Edmund reverted to the harp, and was again very
10happy in the prospect of hearing her play. The subject of improving grounds, meanwhile, was still under consideration
11among the others; and Mrs. Grant could not help addressing her brother, though it was calling his attention from Miss
12Julia Bertram. "My dear Henry, have you nothing to say? You have been an improver yourself, and from what I hear of
13Everingham, it may vie with any place in England. Its natural beauties, I am sure, are great. Everingham, as it used to
14be, was perfect in my estimation: such a happy fall of ground, and such timber! What would I not give to see it again!"
15"Nothing could be so gratifying to me as to hear your opinion of it," was his answer; "but I fear there would be some
16disappointment: you would not find it equal to your present ideas. In extent, it is a mere nothing; you would be
17surprised at its insignificance; and, as for improvement, there was very little for me to do--too little: I should like
18to have been busy much longer." "You are fond of the sort of thing?" said Julia. "Excessively; but what with the natural
19advantages of the ground, which pointed out, even to a very young eye, what little remained to be done, and my own
20consequent resolutions, I had not been of age three months before Everingham was all that it is now. My plan was laid at
21Westminster, a little altered, perhaps, at Cambridge, and at one-and-twenty executed. I am inclined to envy Mr.
22Rushworth for having so much happiness yet before him. I have been a devourer of my own." "Those who see quickly, will
23resolve quickly, and act quickly," said Julia. "You can never want employment. Instead of envying Mr. Rushworth, you
24should assist him with your opinion." Mrs. Grant, hearing the latter part of this speech, enforced it warmly, persuaded
25that no judgment could be equal to her brother's; and as Miss Bertram caught at the idea likewise, and gave it her full
26support, declaring that, in her opinion, it was infinitely better to consult with friends and disinterested advisers,
27than immediately to throw the business into the hands of a professional man, Mr. Rushworth was very ready to request the
28favour of Mr. Crawford's assistance; and Mr. Crawford, after properly depreciating his own abilities, was quite at his
29service in any way that could be useful. Mr. Rushworth then began to propose Mr. Crawford's doing him the honour of
30coming over to Sotherton, and taking a bed there; when Mrs. Norris, as if reading in her two nieces' minds their little
31approbation of a plan which was to take Mr. Crawford away, interposed with an amendment. "There can be no doubt of Mr.
32Crawford's willingness; but why should not more of us go? Why should not we make a little party? Here are many that
33would be interested in your improvements, my dear Mr. Rushworth, and that would like to hear Mr. Crawford's opinion on
34the spot, and that might be of some small use to you with their opinions; and, for my own part, I have been long wishing
35to wait upon your good mother again; nothing but having no horses of my own could have made me so remiss; but now I
36could go and sit a few hours with Mrs. Rushworth, while the rest of you walked about and settled things, and then we
37could all return to a late dinner here, or dine at Sotherton, just as might be most agreeable to your mother, and have a
38pleasant drive home by moonlight. I dare say Mr. Crawford would take my two nieces and me in his barouche, and Edmund
39can go on horseback, you know, sister, and Fanny will stay at home with you." Lady Bertram made no objection; and every
40one concerned in the going was forward in expressing their ready concurrence, excepting Edmund, who heard it all and
41said nothing.
