1"You had better not. He is to have breakfasted and be gone by half-past nine. Mr. Crawford, I think you call for him at
2half-past nine?" Fanny was too urgent, however, and had too many tears in her eyes for denial; and it ended in a
3gracious "Well, well!" which was permission. "Yes, half-past nine," said Crawford to William as the latter was leaving
4them, "and I shall be punctual, for there will be no kind sister to get up for me." And in a lower tone to Fanny, "I
5shall have only a desolate house to hurry from. Your brother will find my ideas of time and his own very different
6to-morrow." After a short consideration, Sir Thomas asked Crawford to join the early breakfast party in that house
7instead of eating alone: he should himself be of it; and the readiness with which his invitation was accepted convinced
8him that the suspicions whence, he must confess to himself, this very ball had in great measure sprung, were well
9founded. Mr. Crawford was in love with Fanny. He had a pleasing anticipation of what would be. His niece, meanwhile, did
10not thank him for what he had just done. She had hoped to have William all to herself the last morning. It would have
11been an unspeakable indulgence. But though her wishes were overthrown, there was no spirit of murmuring within her. On
12the contrary, she was so totally unused to have her pleasure consulted, or to have anything take place at all in the way
13she could desire, that she was more disposed to wonder and rejoice in having carried her point so far, than to repine at
14the counteraction which followed. Shortly afterward, Sir Thomas was again interfering a little with her inclination, by
15advising her to go immediately to bed. "Advise" was his word, but it was the advice of absolute power, and she had only
16to rise, and, with Mr. Crawford's very cordial adieus, pass quietly away; stopping at the entrance-door, like the Lady
17of Branxholm Hall, "one moment and no more," to view the happy scene, and take a last look at the five or six determined
18couple who were still hard at work; and then, creeping slowly up the principal staircase, pursued by the ceaseless
19country-dance, feverish with hopes and fears, soup and negus, sore-footed and fatigued, restless and agitated, yet
20feeling, in spite of everything, that a ball was indeed delightful. In thus sending her away, Sir Thomas perhaps might
21not be thinking merely of her health. It might occur to him that Mr. Crawford had been sitting by her long enough, or he
22might mean to recommend her as a wife by shewing her persuadableness.
