1"I wish you were not so tired," said he, still detaining Fanny after all the others were in the house--"I wish I left
2you in stronger health. Is there anything I can do for you in town? I have half an idea of going into Norfolk again
3soon. I am not satisfied about Maddison. I am sure he still means to impose on me if possible, and get a cousin of his
4own into a certain mill, which I design for somebody else. I must come to an understanding with him. I must make him
5know that I will not be tricked on the south side of Everingham, any more than on the north: that I will be master of my
6own property. I was not explicit enough with him before. The mischief such a man does on an estate, both as to the
7credit of his employer and the welfare of the poor, is inconceivable. I have a great mind to go back into Norfolk
8directly, and put everything at once on such a footing as cannot be afterwards swerved from. Maddison is a clever
9fellow; I do not wish to displace him, provided he does not try to displace me; but it would be simple to be duped by a
10man who has no right of creditor to dupe me, and worse than simple to let him give me a hard-hearted, griping fellow for
11a tenant, instead of an honest man, to whom I have given half a promise already. Would it not be worse than simple?
12Shall I go? Do you advise it?" "I advise! You know very well what is right." "Yes. When you give me your opinion, I
13always know what is right. Your judgment is my rule of right." "Oh, no! do not say so. We have all a better guide in
14ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be. Good-bye; I wish you a pleasant journey to-morrow."
15"Is there nothing I can do for you in town?" "Nothing; I am much obliged to you." "Have you no message for anybody?" "My
16love to your sister, if you please; and when you see my cousin, my cousin Edmund, I wish you would be so good as to say
17that I suppose I shall soon hear from him." "Certainly; and if he is lazy or negligent, I will write his excuses
18myself." He could say no more, for Fanny would be no longer detained. He pressed her hand, looked at her, and was gone.
19He went to while away the next three hours as he could, with his other acquaintance, till the best dinner that a capital
20inn afforded was ready for their enjoyment, and she turned in to her more simple one immediately. Their general fare
21bore a very different character; and could he have suspected how many privations, besides that of exercise, she endured
22in her father's house, he would have wondered that her looks were not much more affected than he found them. She was so
23little equal to Rebecca's puddings and Rebecca's hashes, brought to table, as they all were, with such accompaniments of
24half-cleaned plates, and not half-cleaned knives and forks, that she was very often constrained to defer her heartiest
25meal till she could send her brothers in the evening for biscuits and buns. After being nursed up at Mansfield, it was
26too late in the day to be hardened at Portsmouth; and though Sir Thomas, had he known all, might have thought his niece
27in the most promising way of being starved, both mind and body, into a much juster value for Mr. Crawford's good company
28and good fortune, he would probably have feared to push his experiment farther, lest she might die under the cure. Fanny
29was out of spirits all the rest of the day. Though tolerably secure of not seeing Mr. Crawford again, she could not help
30being low. It was parting with somebody of the nature of a friend; and though, in one light, glad to have him gone, it
31seemed as if she was now deserted by everybody; it was a sort of renewed separation from Mansfield; and she could not
32think of his returning to town, and being frequently with Mary and Edmund, without feelings so near akin to envy as made
33her hate herself for having them. Her dejection had no abatement from anything passing around her; a friend or two of
34her father's, as always happened if he was not with them, spent the long, long evening there; and from six o'clock till
35half-past nine, there was little intermission of noise or grog. She was very low. The wonderful improvement which she
36still fancied in Mr. Crawford was the nearest to administering comfort of anything within the current of her thoughts.
37Not considering in how different a circle she had been just seeing him, nor how much might be owing to contrast, she was
38quite persuaded of his being astonishingly more gentle and regardful of others than formerly. And, if in little things,
39must it not be so in great? So anxious for her health and comfort, so very feeling as he now expressed himself, and
40really seemed, might not it be fairly supposed that he would not much longer persevere in a suit so distressing to her?
