1"Nothing, nothing to be understood. I was like a man stunned. She went on, began to talk of you; yes, then she began to
2talk of you, regretting, as well she might, the loss of such a--. There she spoke very rationally. But she has always
3done justice to you. 'He has thrown away,' said she, 'such a woman as he will never see again. She would have fixed him;
4she would have made him happy for ever.' My dearest Fanny, I am giving you, I hope, more pleasure than pain by this
5retrospect of what might have been--but what never can be now. You do not wish me to be silent? If you do, give me but a
6look, a word, and I have done." No look or word was given. "Thank God," said he. "We were all disposed to wonder, but it
7seems to have been the merciful appointment of Providence that the heart which knew no guile should not suffer. She
8spoke of you with high praise and warm affection; yet, even here, there was alloy, a dash of evil; for in the midst of
9it she could exclaim, 'Why would not she have him? It is all her fault. Simple girl! I shall never forgive her. Had she
10accepted him as she ought, they might now have been on the point of marriage, and Henry would have been too happy and
11too busy to want any other object. He would have taken no pains to be on terms with Mrs. Rushworth again. It would have
12all ended in a regular standing flirtation, in yearly meetings at Sotherton and Everingham.' Could you have believed it
13possible? But the charm is broken. My eyes are opened." "Cruel!" said Fanny, "quite cruel. At such a moment to give way
14to gaiety, to speak with lightness, and to you! Absolute cruelty." "Cruelty, do you call it? We differ there. No, hers
15is not a cruel nature. I do not consider her as meaning to wound my feelings. The evil lies yet deeper: in her total
16ignorance, unsuspiciousness of there being such feelings; in a perversion of mind which made it natural to her to treat
17the subject as she did. She was speaking only as she had been used to hear others speak, as she imagined everybody else
18would speak. Hers are not faults of temper. She would not voluntarily give unnecessary pain to any one, and though I may
19deceive myself, I cannot but think that for me, for my feelings, she would--. Hers are faults of principle, Fanny; of
20blunted delicacy and a corrupted, vitiated mind. Perhaps it is best for me, since it leaves me so little to regret. Not
21so, however. Gladly would I submit to all the increased pain of losing her, rather than have to think of her as I do. I
22told her so." "Did you?" "Yes; when I left her I told her so." "How long were you together?" "Five-and-twenty minutes.
23Well, she went on to say that what remained now to be done was to bring about a marriage between them. She spoke of it,
24Fanny, with a steadier voice than I can." He was obliged to pause more than once as he continued. "'We must persuade
25Henry to marry her,' said she; 'and what with honour, and the certainty of having shut himself out for ever from Fanny,
26I do not despair of it. Fanny he must give up. I do not think that even he could now hope to succeed with one of her
27stamp, and therefore I hope we may find no insuperable difficulty. My influence, which is not small shall all go that
28way; and when once married, and properly supported by her own family, people of respectability as they are, she may
29recover her footing in society to a certain degree. In some circles, we know, she would never be admitted, but with good
30dinners, and large parties, there will always be those who will be glad of her acquaintance; and there is, undoubtedly,
31more liberality and candour on those points than formerly. What I advise is, that your father be quiet. Do not let him
32injure his own cause by interference. Persuade him to let things take their course. If by any officious exertions of
33his, she is induced to leave Henry's protection, there will be much less chance of his marrying her than if she remain
34with him. I know how he is likely to be influenced. Let Sir Thomas trust to his honour and compassion, and it may all
35end well; but if he get his daughter away, it will be destroying the chief hold.'"
