1She had burst away from him, and at that moment Sir Thomas was heard speaking to a servant in his way towards the room
2they were in. It was no time for farther assurances or entreaty, though to part with her at a moment when her modesty
3alone seemed, to his sanguine and preassured mind, to stand in the way of the happiness he sought, was a cruel
4necessity. She rushed out at an opposite door from the one her uncle was approaching, and was walking up and down the
5East room in the utmost confusion of contrary feeling, before Sir Thomas's politeness or apologies were over, or he had
6reached the beginning of the joyful intelligence which his visitor came to communicate. She was feeling, thinking,
7trembling about everything; agitated, happy, miserable, infinitely obliged, absolutely angry. It was all beyond belief!
8He was inexcusable, incomprehensible! But such were his habits that he could do nothing without a mixture of evil. He
9had previously made her the happiest of human beings, and now he had insulted--she knew not what to say, how to class,
10or how to regard it. She would not have him be serious, and yet what could excuse the use of such words and offers, if
11they meant but to trifle? But William was a lieutenant. That was a fact beyond a doubt, and without an alloy. She would
12think of it for ever and forget all the rest. Mr. Crawford would certainly never address her so again: he must have seen
13how unwelcome it was to her; and in that case, how gratefully she could esteem him for his friendship to William! She
14would not stir farther from the East room than the head of the great staircase, till she had satisfied herself of Mr.
15Crawford's having left the house; but when convinced of his being gone, she was eager to go down and be with her uncle,
16and have all the happiness of his joy as well as her own, and all the benefit of his information or his conjectures as
17to what would now be William's destination. Sir Thomas was as joyful as she could desire, and very kind and
18communicative; and she had so comfortable a talk with him about William as to make her feel as if nothing had occurred
19to vex her, till she found, towards the close, that Mr. Crawford was engaged to return and dine there that very day.
20This was a most unwelcome hearing, for though he might think nothing of what had passed, it would be quite distressing
21to her to see him again so soon. She tried to get the better of it; tried very hard, as the dinner hour approached, to
22feel and appear as usual; but it was quite impossible for her not to look most shy and uncomfortable when their visitor
23entered the room. She could not have supposed it in the power of any concurrence of circumstances to give her so many
24painful sensations on the first day of hearing of William's promotion. Mr. Crawford was not only in the room--he was
25soon close to her. He had a note to deliver from his sister. Fanny could not look at him, but there was no consciousness
26of past folly in his voice. She opened her note immediately, glad to have anything to do, and happy, as she read it, to
27feel that the fidgetings of her aunt Norris, who was also to dine there, screened her a little from view. "MY DEAR
28FANNY,--for so I may now always call you, to the infinite relief of a tongue that has been stumbling at Miss Price for
29at least the last six weeks--I cannot let my brother go without sending you a few lines of general congratulation, and
30giving my most joyful consent and approval. Go on, my dear Fanny, and without fear; there can be no difficulties worth
31naming. I chuse to suppose that the assurance of my consent will be something; so you may smile upon him with your
32sweetest smiles this afternoon, and send him back to me even happier than he goes. Yours affectionately, M. C." These
33were not expressions to do Fanny any good; for though she read in too much haste and confusion to form the clearest
34judgment of Miss Crawford's meaning, it was evident that she meant to compliment her on her brother's attachment, and
35even to appear to believe it serious. She did not know what to do, or what to think. There was wretchedness in the idea
36of its being serious; there was perplexity and agitation every way. She was distressed whenever Mr. Crawford spoke to
37her, and he spoke to her much too often; and she was afraid there was a something in his voice and manner in addressing
38her very different from what they were when he talked to the others. Her comfort in that day's dinner was quite
39destroyed: she could hardly eat anything; and when Sir Thomas good-humouredly observed that joy had taken away her
40appetite, she was ready to sink with shame, from the dread of Mr. Crawford's interpretation; for though nothing could
41have tempted her to turn her eyes to the right hand, where he sat, she felt that his were immediately directed towards
42her. She was more silent than ever. She would hardly join even when William was the subject, for his commission came all
43from the right hand too, and there was pain in the connexion. She thought Lady Bertram sat longer than ever, and began
44to be in despair of ever getting away; but at last they were in the drawing-room, and she was able to think as she
45would, while her aunts finished the subject of William's appointment in their own style. Mrs. Norris seemed as much
46delighted with the saving it would be to Sir Thomas as with any part of it. "Now William would be able to keep himself,
47which would make a vast difference to his uncle, for it was unknown how much he had cost his uncle; and, indeed, it
48would make some difference in her presents too. She was very glad that she had given William what she did at parting,
49very glad, indeed, that it had been in her power, without material inconvenience, just at that time to give him
50something rather considerable; that is, for her, with her limited means, for now it would all be useful in helping to
51fit up his cabin. She knew he must be at some expense, that he would have many things to buy, though to be sure his
52father and mother would be able to put him in the way of getting everything very cheap; but she was very glad she had
53contributed her mite towards it." "I am glad you gave him something considerable," said Lady Bertram, with most
54unsuspicious calmness, "for I gave him only £10." "Indeed!" cried Mrs. Norris, reddening. "Upon my word, he must have
55gone off with his pockets well lined, and at no expense for his journey to London either!" "Sir Thomas told me £10 would
56be enough." Mrs. Norris, being not at all inclined to question its sufficiency, began to take the matter in another
57point. "It is amazing," said she, "how much young people cost their friends, what with bringing them up and putting them
58out in the world! They little think how much it comes to, or what their parents, or their uncles and aunts, pay for them
59in the course of the year. Now, here are my sister Price's children; take them all together, I dare say nobody would
60believe what a sum they cost Sir Thomas every year, to say nothing of what I do for them." "Very true, sister, as you
61say. But, poor things! they cannot help it; and you know it makes very little difference to Sir Thomas. Fanny, William
62must not forget my shawl if he goes to the East Indies; and I shall give him a commission for anything else that is
63worth having. I wish he may go to the East Indies, that I may have my shawl. I think I will have two shawls, Fanny."
