Such
was
the
state
of
affairs
in
the
month
of
July
;
and
Fanny
had
just
reached
her
eighteenth
year
,
when
the
society
of
the
village
received
an
addition
in
the
brother
and
sister
of
Mrs
.
Grant
,
a
Mr
.
and
Miss
Crawford
,
the
children
of
her
mother
by
a
second
marriage
.
They
were
young
people
of
fortune
.
The
son
had
a
good
estate
in
Norfolk
,
the
daughter
twenty
thousand
pounds
.
As
children
,
their
sister
had
been
always
very
fond
of
them
;
but
,
as
her
own
marriage
had
been
soon
followed
by
the
death
of
their
common
parent
,
which
left
them
to
the
care
of
a
brother
of
their
father
,
of
whom
Mrs
.
Grant
knew
nothing
,
she
had
scarcely
seen
them
since
.
In
their
uncle
’
s
house
they
had
found
a
kind
home
.
Admiral
and
Mrs
.
Crawford
,
though
agreeing
in
nothing
else
,
were
united
in
affection
for
these
children
,
or
,
at
least
,
were
no
farther
adverse
in
their
feelings
than
that
each
had
their
favourite
,
to
whom
they
showed
the
greatest
fondness
of
the
two
.
The
Admiral
delighted
in
the
boy
,
Mrs
.
Crawford
doted
on
the
girl
;
and
it
was
the
lady
’
s
death
which
now
obliged
her
protegee
,
after
some
months
’
further
trial
at
her
uncle
’
s
house
,
to
find
another
home
.
Admiral
Crawford
was
a
man
of
vicious
conduct
,
who
chose
,
instead
of
retaining
his
niece
,
to
bring
his
mistress
under
his
own
roof
;
and
to
this
Mrs
.
Grant
was
indebted
for
her
sister
’
s
proposal
of
coming
to
her
,
a
measure
quite
as
welcome
on
one
side
as
it
could
be
expedient
on
the
other
;
for
Mrs
.
Grant
,
having
by
this
time
run
through
the
usual
resources
of
ladies
residing
in
the
country
without
a
family
of
children
—
having
more
than
filled
her
favourite
sitting
-
room
with
pretty
furniture
,
and
made
a
choice
collection
of
plants
and
poultry
—
was
very
much
in
want
of
some
variety
at
home
.
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
side
.
Miss
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
Mrs
.
Grant
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
Mrs
.
Grant
immediately
gave
them
credit
for
everything
else
.
She
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
’
s
.
She
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
Mrs
.
Grant
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
on
.
Matrimony
was
her
object
,
provided
she
could
marry
well
:
and
having
seen
Mr
.
Bertram
in
town
,
she
knew
that
objection
could
no
more
be
made
to
his
person
than
to
his
situation
in
life
.
While
she
treated
it
as
a
joke
,
therefore
,
she
did
not
forget
to
think
of
it
seriously
.
The
scheme
was
soon
repeated
to
Henry
.
“
And
now
,
”
added
Mrs
.
Grant
,
“
I
have
thought
of
something
to
make
it
complete
.
I
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
of
.
If
you
can
persuade
Henry
to
marry
,
you
must
have
the
address
of
a
Frenchwoman
.
All
that
English
abilities
can
do
has
been
tried
already
I
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
imagined
.
If
your
Miss
Bertrams
do
not
like
to
have
their
hearts
broke
,
let
them
avoid
Henry
.
