And you find your boy and take him in your...
And you find your boy and take him in your arms
and tell him not to be ? scared, that he has a father to take care of
himThink about somebody besides yourself Scarlett
wiped her hand on her skirt as if it were soiled by Ashley's grip
Then she walked from the room, pushing India out of the wayAs she
opened the door to the porch, she could hear India: "My poor, darling
AshleyDon't pay any attention to the horrible things Scarlett
said
Scarlett stopped, turnedShe withdrew a calling card from her purse
and dropped it on a table"I'm leaving my card for you, Aunt Pitty,"
she shouted, "since you're afraid to see me in person
She slammed the door behind her"Just drive, Elias," she told her
coachman She couldn't new omega watches stand to stay in that
house
one single minute moreWhat was she going to do? Had she gotten
through to Ashley? She'd been so mean-well, she had to be, he was
being drowned in sympathy and pity-but had it done any good?
Ashley
adored his son, maybe he'd pull himself together for Beau's sake
"Maybe" wasn't good enoughShe had to make him do itHenry Hamilton's law office," she told Elias"Uncle
Henry" was terrifying to most women, but not to ScarlettShe could
understand that growing up in the same house with Aunt Pittypat had
made him a misogynistAnd she knew he rather liked herHe said
she
wasn't as silly as most womenHe was her lawyer and knew how
shrewd
she was in her business dealings
When she walked into ladies omega watches his office without waiting to be announced, he
put
down the letter he was reading and chuckled"Do come in, Scarlett,"
he said, rising to his feet"Are you in a hurry to sue somebody?" She
paced forward and back, ignoring the chair beside his desk"I'd like
to shoot somebody," she said, "but I don't know that it would help
Isn't it true that when Charles died, he left me all his property?"
"You know it isStop that fidgeting and sit downHe left the

"Didn't he leave me that, too?"
"My God, Scarlett, don't tell me you want to move in thereBut I want Ashley out of thereIndia and Aunt Pitty

with expressionless probing eyes"Are you sure that's why you want
him back in his own house, because he's suffering from too much
sympathy?" Scarlett bridled"God's nightgown, Uncle Henry!" she
said"Are you turning into a scandal monger in your old age?"
"Don't show your claws to me, young ladySettle back in that chair
and listen to some hard truthsYou've got maybe the best business

Ashley's house," said the old lawyer slowly, "it's already been sold
I drew up the papers yesterday He held up his hand to stop Scarlett

itNot because of the pain of associations and memories in the house,
and not because I was concerned about who was going to take care of

Pangloss for himself; and very earnestly, but...
Pangloss for himself;
and very earnestly, but very unsuccessfully, trying to persuade the
others that there were some fine tragic parts in the rest of the dramatis
personae
The pause which followed this fruitless effort was ended by the
same speaker, who, taking up one of the many volumes of plays that
lay on the table, and turning it over, suddenly exclaimed??Lovers?
Vows! And why should not Lovers? Vows do for us as well as for the
Ravenshaws? How came it never to be thought of before? It strikes
me as if it would do exactlyWhat say you all? Here are two capital
117
Jane Austen
tragic parts for Yates and Crawford, and here is the rhyming Butler
for me, if nobody else wants it; a trifling part, but the sort of thing
I should not dislike, and, as I said before, I am determined to take
anything and do my bestAnd as for the rest, they may be filled up
by anybodyIt is only Count Cassel and Anhalt
The suggestion was generally welcomeEverybody was growing
weary of indecision, and the first idea with everybody was, that
nothing had chanel jumbo flap been proposed before so likely to suit them all
Yates was particularly pleased: he had been sighing and longing to
do the Baron at Ecclesford, had grudged every rant of Lord
Ravenshaw?s, and been forced to re-rant it all in his own roomThe
storm through Baron Wildenheim was the height of his theatrical
ambition; and with the advantage of knowing half the scenes by heart
already, he did now, with the greatest alacrity, offer his services for the
partTo do him justice, however, he did not resolve to appropriate it;
for remembering that there was some very good ranting-ground in
Frederick, he professed an equal willingness for thatHenry Crawford
was ready to take eitherYates did not chuse would
perfectly satisfy him, and a short parley of compliment ensuedMiss
Bertram, feeling all the interest of an Agatha in the question, took on
her to decide it, by observing to MrYates that this was a point in
which height and figure ought to be considered, and that his being
the tallest, seemed to fit him peculiarly for the BaronShe was chanel cambon purse acknowledged
to be quite right, and the two parts being accepted accordingly,
she was certain of the proper FrederickThree of the characters
were now cast, besides MrRushworth, who was always answered
for by Maria as willing to do anything; when Julia, meaning,
like her sister, to be Agatha, began to be scrupulous on Miss Crawford?s
account
?This is not behaving well by the absent,? said she?Here are not
women enoughAmelia and Agatha may do for Maria and me, but
here is nothing for your sister, MrCrawford desired that might not be thought of: he was very
sure his sister had no wish of acting but as she might be useful, and
that she would not allow herself to be considered in the present case
But this was immediately opposed by Tom Bertram, who asserted the
part of Amelia to be in every respect the property of Miss Crawford, if
118
Mansfield Park
she would accept it?It falls as naturally, as necessarily to her,? said he,
?as Agatha does to one or other of my sistersIt can be no sacrifice on
their side, for it is highly comic
A short vintage chanel jewelry silence followedEach sister looked anxious; for each felt
the best claim to Agatha, and was hoping to have it pressed on her
by the restHenry Crawford, who meanwhile had taken up the
play, and with seeming carelessness was turning over the first act,
soon settled the business
?I must entreat Miss Julia Bertram,? said he, ?not to engage in the
part of Agatha, or it will be the ruin of all my solemnityYou must
not, indeed you must not? (turning to her)?I could not stand your
countenance dressed up in woe and palenessThe many laughs we
have had together would infallibly come across me, and Frederick
and his knapsack would be obliged to run away
Pleasantly, courteously, it was spoken; but the manner was lost in
the matter to Julia?s feelingsShe saw a glance at Maria which confirmed
the injury to herself: it was a scheme, a trick; she was slighted,
Maria was preferred; the smile of triumph which Maria was trying
to suppress shewed how well it was understood; and before Julia
could command herself enough to speak, her brother gave his omega seamaster gold weight
against her too, by saying, ?Oh yes! Maria must be AgathaMaria
will be the best AgathaThough Julia fancies she prefers tragedy, I
would not trust her in itThere is nothing of tragedy about herShe
has not the look of itHer features are not tragic features, and she
walks too quick, and speaks too quick, and would not keep her
countenanceShe had better do the old countrywoman: the
Cottager?s wife; you had, indeed, JuliaCottager?s wife is a very pretty
part, I assure youThe old lady relieves the high-flown benevolence
of her husband with a good deal of spiritYou shall be Cottager?s
wife
?Cottager?s wife!? cried Mr?What are you talking of? The
most trivial, paltry, insignificant part; the merest commonplace; not
a tolerable speech in the wholeYour sister do that! It is an insult to
propose itAt Ecclesford the governess was to have done itWe all
agreed that it could not be offered to anybody elseA little more

Miss Crawford need not have urged secrecy with so...
Miss Crawford need not have urged secrecy with so much
warmth; she might have trusted to her sense of what was due to her
cousin
The next day came and brought no second letterFanny was disappointed
She could still think of little else all the morning; but,
when her father came back in the afternoon with the daily newspaper
as usual, she was so far from expecting any elucidation through
such a channel that the subject was for a moment out of her head
She was deep in other musingThe remembrance of her first
evening in that room, of her father and his newspaper, came across
herNo candle was now wantedThe sun was yet an hour and half
above the horizonShe felt that she had, indeed, been three months
there; and the sun?s rays falling strongly into the parlour, instead of
cheering, made her still more melancholy, for sunshine appeared to
her a totally different thing in a town and in the countryHere, its
385
Jane Austen
power was only a glare: a stifling, sickly glare, serving but to bring
forward stains and dirt that might otherwise have sleptThere was
neither health nor gaiety in sunshine in a townShe sat in a blaze of
oppressive heat, in a cloud of moving dust, and her eyes could only
wander from the walls, marked by her father?s head, to the table cut
and notched by her brothers, where stood the tea-board never thoroughly
cleaned, the cups omega deville watch and saucers wiped in streaks, the milk a
mixture of motes floating in thin blue, and the bread and butter
growing every minute more greasy than even Rebecca?s hands had
first produced itHer father read his newspaper, and her mother
lamented over the ragged carpet as usual, while the tea was in preparation,
and wished Rebecca would mend it; and Fanny was first
roused by his calling out to her, after humphing and considering
over a particular paragraph: ?What?s the name of your great cousins
in town, Fan??
A moment?s recollection enabled her to say, ?Rushworth, sir
?And don?t they live in Wimpole Street??
?Yes, sir
?Then, there?s the devil to pay among them, that?s all! There? (holding
out the paper to her); ?much good may such fine relations do
youI don?t know what Sir Thomas may think of such matters; he
may be too much of the courtier and fine gentleman to like his
daughter the lessBut, by G?! if she belonged to me, I?d give her
the rope?s end as long as I could stand over herA little flogging for
man and woman too would be the best way of preventing such
things
Fanny read to herself that ?it was with infinite concern the newspaper
had to announce to the world a matrimonial fracas in the
family of Mrof Wimpole Street; the beautiful Mrs whose
name had not long been enrolled in the lists of Hymen, and who
had promised to become so tiffany canada brilliant a leader in the fashionable world,
having quitted her husband?s roof in company with the well-known
and captivating Mr the intimate friend and associate of Mr
and it was not known even to the editor of the newspaper whither
they were gone
?It is a mistake, sir,? said Fanny instantly; ?it must be a mistake, it
cannot be true; it must mean some other people
386
Mansfield Park
She spoke from the instinctive wish of delaying shame; she spoke
with a resolution which sprung from despair, for she spoke what she
did not, could not believe herselfIt had been the shock of conviction
as she readThe truth rushed on her; and how she could have
spoken at all, how she could even have breathed, was afterwards
matter of wonder to herselfPrice cared too little about the report to make her much answer
?It might be all a lie,? he acknowledged; ?but so many fine
ladies were going to the devil nowadays that way, that there was no
answering for anybody
?Indeed, I hope it is not true,? said MrsPrice plaintively; ?it
would be so very shocking! If I have spoken once to Rebecca about
that carpet, I am sure I have spoke at least a dozen times; have not I,
Betsey? And it would not be ten minutes? work
The horror of a mind like Fanny?s, as it received the conviction of
such guilt, and began to take in some part of the misery that must
ensue, can hardly be dolce and gabbana handbag describedAt first, it was a sort of stupefaction;
but every moment was quickening her perception of the horrible
evilShe could not doubt, she dared not indulge a hope, of the
paragraph being falseMiss Crawford?s letter, which she had read so
often as to make every line her own, was in frightful conformity
with itHer eager defence of her brother, her hope of its being hushed
up, her evident agitation, were all of a piece with something very
bad; and if there was a woman of character in existence, who could
treat as a trifle this sin of the first magnitude, who would try to gloss
it over, and desire to have it unpunished, she could believe Miss
Crawford to be the woman! Now she could see her own mistake as
to who were gone, or said to be gone
Rushworth; it was Mrs
Fanny seemed to herself never to have been shocked beforeThere
was no possibility of restThe evening passed without a pause of
misery, the night was totally sleeplessShe passed only from feelings
of sickness to shudderings of horror; and from hot fits of fever to
coldThe event was so shocking, that there were moments even
when her heart revolted from it as impossible: when she thought it
could not beA woman married only six months ago; a man professing
himself devoted, even engaged to another; that other her near

relation; the whole family, both families wholesale tiffany connected as they were by
tie upon tie; all friends, all intimate together! It was too horrible a
confusion of guilt, too gross a complication of evil, for human nature,
not in a state of utter barbarism, to be capable of! yet her judgment
told her it was soHis unsettled affections, wavering with his
vanity, Maria?s decided attachment, and no sufficient principle on
either side, gave it possibility: Miss Crawford?s letter stampt it a
fact
What would be the consequence? Whom would it not injure?
Whose views might it not affect? Whose peace would it not cut up
for ever? Miss Crawford, herself, Edmund; but it was dangerous,
perhaps, to tread such groundShe confined herself, or tried to confine
herself, to the simple, indubitable family misery which must
envelop all, if it were indeed a matter of certified guilt and public
exposureThe mother?s sufferings, the father?s; there she paused
Julia?s, Tom?s, Edmund?s; there a yet longer pauseThey were the
two on whom it would fall most horriblySir Thomas?s parental
solicitude and high sense of honour and decorum, Edmund?s upright
principles, unsuspicious temper, and genuine strength of feeling,
made her think it scarcely possible for them to support life and
reason under such disgrace; and it appeared to her that, as far as this
world alone was concerned, the greatest blessing to every one of
