1He turned away to recover himself, and when he spoke again, though his voice still faltered, his manner shewed the wish
2of self-command, and the resolution of avoiding any farther allusion. "Have you breakfasted? When shall you be ready?
3Does Susan go?" were questions following each other rapidly. His great object was to be off as soon as possible. When
4Mansfield was considered, time was precious; and the state of his own mind made him find relief only in motion. It was
5settled that he should order the carriage to the door in half an hour. Fanny answered for their having breakfasted and
6being quite ready in half an hour. He had already ate, and declined staying for their meal. He would walk round the
7ramparts, and join them with the carriage. He was gone again; glad to get away even from Fanny. He looked very ill;
8evidently suffering under violent emotions, which he was determined to suppress. She knew it must be so, but it was
9terrible to her. The carriage came; and he entered the house again at the same moment, just in time to spend a few
10minutes with the family, and be a witness--but that he saw nothing--of the tranquil manner in which the daughters were
11parted with, and just in time to prevent their sitting down to the breakfast-table, which, by dint of much unusual
12activity, was quite and completely ready as the carriage drove from the door. Fanny's last meal in her father's house
13was in character with her first: she was dismissed from it as hospitably as she had been welcomed. How her heart swelled
14with joy and gratitude as she passed the barriers of Portsmouth, and how Susan's face wore its broadest smiles, may be
15easily conceived. Sitting forwards, however, and screened by her bonnet, those smiles were unseen. The journey was
16likely to be a silent one. Edmund's deep sighs often reached Fanny. Had he been alone with her, his heart must have
17opened in spite of every resolution; but Susan's presence drove him quite into himself, and his attempts to talk on
18indifferent subjects could never be long supported. Fanny watched him with never-failing solicitude, and sometimes
19catching his eye, revived an affectionate smile, which comforted her; but the first day's journey passed without her
20hearing a word from him on the subjects that were weighing him down. The next morning produced a little more. Just
21before their setting out from Oxford, while Susan was stationed at a window, in eager observation of the departure of a
22large family from the inn, the other two were standing by the fire; and Edmund, particularly struck by the alteration in
23Fanny's looks, and from his ignorance of the daily evils of her father's house, attributing an undue share of the
24change, attributing all to the recent event, took her hand, and said in a low, but very expressive tone, "No wonder--you
25must feel it--you must suffer. How a man who had once loved, could desert you! But yours--your regard was new compared
26with----Fanny, think of me!" The first division of their journey occupied a long day, and brought them, almost knocked
27up, to Oxford; but the second was over at a much earlier hour. They were in the environs of Mansfield long before the
28usual dinner-time, and as they approached the beloved place, the hearts of both sisters sank a little. Fanny began to
29dread the meeting with her aunts and Tom, under so dreadful a humiliation; and Susan to feel with some anxiety, that all
30her best manners, all her lately acquired knowledge of what was practised here, was on the point of being called into
31action. Visions of good and ill breeding, of old vulgarisms and new gentilities, were before her; and she was meditating
32much upon silver forks, napkins, and finger-glasses. Fanny had been everywhere awake to the difference of the country
33since February; but when they entered the Park her perceptions and her pleasures were of the keenest sort. It was three
34months, full three months, since her quitting it, and the change was from winter to summer. Her eye fell everywhere on
35lawns and plantations of the freshest green; and the trees, though not fully clothed, were in that delightful state when
36farther beauty is known to be at hand, and when, while much is actually given to the sight, more yet remains for the
37imagination. Her enjoyment, however, was for herself alone. Edmund could not share it. She looked at him, but he was
38leaning back, sunk in a deeper gloom than ever, and with eyes closed, as if the view of cheerfulness oppressed him, and
39the lovely scenes of home must be shut out. It made her melancholy again; and the knowledge of what must be enduring
40there, invested even the house, modern, airy, and well situated as it was, with a melancholy aspect. By one of the
41suffering party within they were expected with such impatience as she had never known before. Fanny had scarcely passed
42the solemn-looking servants, when Lady Bertram came from the drawing-room to meet her; came with no indolent step; and
43falling on her neck, said, "Dear Fanny! now I shall be comfortable."
