    @@@@@The arrival, therefore, of a sister
    whom she had always loved, and now hoped to retain with her as
    long as she remained single, was highly agreeable; and her chief
    anxiety was lest Mansfield should not satisfy the habits of a young
    woman who had been mostly used to London
    Miss Crawford was not entirely free from similar apprehensions,
    though they arose principally from doubts of her sister’s style of
    living and tone of society; and it was not till after she had tried in
    vain to persuade her brother to settle with her at his own country
    house, that she could resolve to hazard herself among her other relations
    To anything like a permanence of abode, or limitation of society,
    Henry Crawford had, unluckily, a great dislike: he could not
    accommodate his sister in an article of such importance; but he
    escorted her, with the utmost kindness, into Northamptonshire, and
    as readily engaged to fetch her away again, at half an hour’s notice,
    whenever she were weary of the place
    The meeting was very satisfactory on each sideMiss Crawford
    found a sister without preciseness or rusticity, a sister’s husband who
    looked the gentleman, and a house commodious and well fitted up;
    and MrsGrant received in those whom she hoped to love better
    than ever a young man and woman of very prepossessing appearance
    Mary Crawford was remarkably pretty; Henry, though not
    handsome, had air and countenance; the manners of both were lively
    and pleasant, and MrsGrant immediately gave them credit for ev36
    Mansfield Park
    erything elseShe was delighted with each, but Mary was her dearest
    object; and having never been able to glory in beauty of her own,
    she thoroughly enjoyed the power of being proud of her sister’sShe
    had not waited her arrival to look out for a suitable match for her:
    she had fixed on Tom Bertram; the eldest son of a baronet was not
    too good for a girl of twenty thousand pounds, with all the elegance
    and accomplishments which MrsGrant foresaw in her; and being
    a warm-hearted, unreserved woman, Mary had not been three hours
    in the house before she told her what she had planned
    Miss Crawford was glad to find a family of such consequence so
    very near them, and not at all displeased either at her sister’s early
    care, or the choice it had fallen onMatrimony was her object, provided
    she could marry well: and having seen MrBertram in town,
    she knew that objection could no more be made to his person than
    to his situation in lifeWhile she treated it as a joke, therefore, she
    did not forget to think of it seriouslyThe scheme was soon repeated
    to Henry
    “And now,” added MrsGrant, “I have thought of something to
    make it completeI should dearly love to settle you both in this
    country; and therefore, Henry, you shall marry the youngest Miss
    Bertram, a nice, handsome, good-humoured, accomplished girl, who
    will make you very happy
    Henry bowed and thanked her
    “My dear sister,” said Mary, “if you can persuade him into anything
    of the sort, it will be a fresh matter of delight to me to find
    myself allied to anybody so clever, and I shall only regret that you
    have not half a dozen daughters to dispose ofIf you can persuade
    Henry to marry, you must have the address of a FrenchwomanAll
    that English abilities can do has been tried alreadyI have three very
    particular friends who have been all dying for him in their turn; and
    the pains which they, their mothers (very clever women), as well as
    my dear aunt and myself, have taken to reason, coax, or trick him
    into marrying, is inconceivable! He is the most horrible flirt that
    can be imaginedIf your Miss Bertrams do not like to have their
    hearts broke, let them avoid H

    Croft, at the point, was worriedHe had not taken part when Roth had collapsedFor once he had been irresoluteThe labor of leading the platoon for so many months, the tensions of the three days with Hearn, had been having their effectHe was tired, his senses rasped by everything that went wrong; all the sullenness of the men, their fatigue, their reluctance to go on had been causing attritionThe decision he had made after Martinez's reconnaissance had drained himWhen Roth fell down the last time Croft had turned to go back to him and then had pausedAt that moment he had been too weary to do anythingIf Gallagher had not struck him, Croft might have interfered, but for once he was content to waitAll his lapses and minor failures seemed important to himHe was remembering with disgust his paralysis on the river when the Japanese had called to him; he was thinking of the combat since then, all the minor blank spots that had occurred before he could actFor once he was uncertainThe mountain still taunted him, still drew him forward, but it was with an automatic leaden response of his legsHe knew he had miscalculated the strength of the platoon, his own energyThere was only an hour or two until dark and they would never reach the peak before then
    The ledge they were on was becoming narrowerA hundred feet above them he could see the top of the ridge, rocky and jagged, almost impossible to traverseFarther ahead the ledge rose upward and crossed the ridge and beyond should be the mountain peakIt could not be more than a thousand feet above themHe wanted to have the summit in view before they halted for the night
    But the ledge was becoming dangerousThe rain clouds had settled over them like bloated balloons, and they traveled forward in what was almost a fogThe rain was colder hereIt chilled them and their feet slid upon the damp rockAfter a few more minutes the rain obscured the ridge above them, and they inched along the ledge cautiously, their faces to the rock wall

    Jack sat with Noveen on his knee for a moment

    CHAPTER XII
    SIR THOMAS was to return in November, and his eldest son had
    duties to call him earlier homeThe approach of September brought
    tidings of MrBertram, first in a letter to the gamekeeper and then
    in a letter to Edmund; and by the end of August he arrived himself,
    to be gay, agreeable, and gallant again as occasion served, or Miss
    Crawford demanded; to tell of races and Weymouth, and parties
    and friends, to which she might have listened six weeks before with
    some interest, and altogether to give her the fullest chloe black conviction, by
    the power of actual comparison, of her preferring his younger brother
    It was very vexatious, and she was heartily sorry for it; but so it was;
    and so far from now meaning to marry the elder, she did not even
    want to attract him beyond what the simplest claims of conscious
    beauty required: his lengthened absence from Mansfield, without
    anything but pleasure in view, and his own will to consult, made it
    perfectly clear that he did not care about her; and his indifference was
    so much more than equalled by her own, that were he now to step
    forth the owner of Mansfield Park, the Sir Thomas complete, which
    he was to be in time, she did not believe she could accept him
    The season and duties which brought MrBertram back to
    Mansfield took tiffany diamond MrCrawford into NorfolkEveringham could not
    do without him in the beginning of SeptemberHe went for a fortnight—
    a fortnight of such dullness to the Miss Bertrams as ought
    to have put them both on their guard, and made even Julia admit,
    in her jealousy of her sister, the absolute necessity of distrusting his
    attentions, and wishing him not to return; and a fortnight of sufficient
    leisure, in the intervals of shooting and sleeping, to have convinced
    the gentleman that he ought to keep longer away, had he
    been more in the habit of examining his own motives, and of reflecting
    to what the indulgence of his idle vanity was tending; but,
    102
    Mansfield Park
    thoughtless and selfish from prosperity and bad example, he would
    not look beyond the ladies rolex watches present momentThe sisters, handsome, clever,
    and encouraging, were an amusement to his sated mind; and finding
    nothing in Norfolk to equal the social pleasures of Mansfield,
    he gladly returned to it at the time appointed, and was welcomed
    thither quite as gladly by those whom he came to trifle with furtherRushworth to attend to her, and doomed to
    the repeated details of his day’s sport, good or bad, his boast of his
    dogs, his jealousy of his neighbours, his doubts of their qualifications,
    and his zeal after poachers, subjects which will not find their
    way to female feelings without some talent on one side or some
    attachment on the other, had missed MrCrawford grievously; and

    It died down slowly, erupted again several times like fire licking out from under a blanket, and finally wore itself outThere was nothing left but their louis vuitton travel spent bodies and the mild pleasure they found in releasing the tension upon their cheek muscles, soothing the ache of laughter in their chests, wiping their freshened eyesAnd it was replaced by the flat extensive depression which overlay everything

    not been since a moment’s delayHow impatient, how anxious, how
    wild I have been on the subject, I will not attempt to describe; how
    severely mortified, how cruelly disappointed, in not having it finished
    while I was in London! I was kept there from day to day in the
    hope of it, for nothing less dear to me than such an object would
    have detained me half the time from MansfieldBut though my
    uncle entered into my wishes with all the warmth I could desire,
    and exerted himself immediately, there were difficulties from the
    absence of one friend, and the engagements of another, which at
    last I could no longer bear to stay the end of, and knowing in what
    good hands I left the cause, I came away on Monday, trusting that
    many posts would not pass before I should be followed by such very
    letters as theseMy uncle, who is the very best man in the black chanel bag world,
    has exerted himself, as I knew he would, after seeing your brother
    He was delighted with himI would not allow myself yesterday to
    say how delighted, or to repeat half that the Admiral said in his
    praiseI deferred it all till his praise should be proved the praise of a
    friend, as this day does prove itNow I may say that even I could not
    require William Price to excite a greater interest, or be followed by
    warmer wishes and higher commendation, than were most voluntarily
    bestowed by my uncle after the evening they had passed together

    “Has this been all your doing, then?” cried Fanny“Good heaven!
    how very, very kind! Have you really—was it by your desire? I beg
    your pardon, but I am bewilderedDid Admiral Crawford apply?
    How was it? I am stupefied
    Henry was most happy to make it more intelligible, by beginning
    at an earlier stage, and explaining very quilted chanel bag particularly what he had
    doneHis last journey to London had been undertaken with no
    other view than that of introducing her brother in Hill Street, and
    prevailing on the Admiral to exert whatever interest he might have
    for getting him onThis had been his businessHe had communicated
    it to no creature: he had not breathed a syllable of it even to
    Mary; while uncertain of the issue, he could not have borne any
    participation of his feelings, but this had been his business; and he
    spoke with such a glow of what his solicitude had been, and used
    such strong expressions, was so abounding in the deepest interest, in
    twofold motives, in views and wishes more than could be told, that
    Fanny could not have remained insensible of his drift, had she been
    able to attend; but her heart was so full and her senses still so astonished,
    that she could listen but imperfectly even to what he told her
    of William, omega seamaster vintage and saying only when he paused, “How kind! how very
    kind! Oh, MrCrawford, we are infinitely obliged to you! Dearest,
    dearest William!” She jumped up and moved in haste towards the
    door, crying out, “I will go to my uncleMy uncle ought to know it
    as soon as possible But this could not be sufferedThe opportunity
    was too fair, and his feelings too impatientHe was after her
    immediately“She must not go, she must allow him five minutes
    longer,” and he took her hand and led her back to her seat, and was
    in the middle of his farther explanation, before she had suspected
    for what she was detainedWhen she did understand it, however,
    and found herself expected to believe that she had created sensations
    which his heart had never known before, and that everything
    he had done for William was to be placed to the account of his
    excessive and unequalled attachment to her, she was Cartier Tortue exceedingly
    distressed, and for some moments unable to speakShe considered
    it all as nonsense, as mere trifling and gallantry, which meant only
    to deceive for the hour; she could not but feel that it was treating
    her improperly and unworthily, and in such a way as she had not
    263
    Jane Austen
    deserved; but it was like himself, and entirely of a piece with what
    she had seen before; and she would not allow herself to shew half
    the displeasure she felt, because he had been conferring an obligation,
    which no want of delicacy on his part could make a trifle to
    herWhile her heart was still bounding with joy and gratitude on
    William’s behalf, she could not be severely resentful of anything
