“Poor William! He has met with great @@@@@ “Poor William! He has met with great kindness from the chaplain of the Antwerp,” was a tender apostrophe of Fanny’s, very much to the purpose of her own feelings if not of the conversation “I have been so little addicted to take my opinions from my uncle,” said Miss Crawford, “that I can hardly suppose—and since you push me so hard, I must observe, that I am not entirely without the means of seeing what clergymen are, being at this present time the guest of my own brother, DrGrant is most kind and obliging to me, and though he is really a gentleman, and, I dare say, a good scholar and clever, and often preaches good sermons, and is very respectable, I see him to be an indolent, selfish bon vi98 Mansfield Park vant, who must have his palate consulted in everything; who will not stir a finger for the convenience of any one; and who, moreover, if the cook makes a blunder, is out of humour with his excellent wifeTo own the truth, Henry and I were partly driven out this very evening by a disappointment about a green goose, which he could not get the better ofMy poor sister was forced to stay and bear it “I do not wonder at your disapprobation, upon my wordIt is a great defect of temper, made worse by a very faulty habit of selfindulgence; and to see your sister suffering from it must be exceedingly painful to such feelings as yoursFanny, it goes against usWe cannot attempt to defend Dr “No,” replied Fanny, “but we need not give up his profession for all that; because, whatever profession DrGrant had chosen, he would have taken a—not a good temper into it; and as he must, either in the navy or army, have had a great many more people under his command than he has now, I think more would have been made unhappy by him as a sailor or soldier than as a clergymanBesides, I cannot but suppose that whatever there may be to wish otherwise in DrGrant would have been in a greater danger of becoming worse in a more active and worldly profession, where he would have had less time and obligation—where he might have escaped that knowledge of himself, the frequency, at least, of that knowledge which it is impossible he should escape as he is nowA man—a sensible man like DrGrant, cannot be in the habit of teaching others their duty every week, cannot go to church twice every Sunday, and preach such very good sermons in so good a manner as he does, without being the better for it himselfIt must make him think; and I have no doubt that he oftener endeavours to restrain himself than he would if he had been anything but a clergyman “We cannot prove to the contrary, to be sure; but I wish you a better fate, Miss Price, than to be the wife of a man whose amiableness depends upon his own sermons; for though he may preach himself into a good-humour every Sunday, it will be bad enough to have him quarrelling about green geese from Monday morning till Saturday night “I think the man who could often quarrel with Fanny,” said Edmund affectionately, “must be beyond the reach of any sermons 99 Jane Austen Fanny turned farther into the window; and Miss Crawford had only time to say, in a pleasant manner, “I fancy Miss Price has been more used to deserve praise than to hear it”; when, being earnestly invited by the Miss Bertrams to join in a glee, she tripped off to the instrument, leaving Edmund looking after her in an ecstasy of admiration of all her many virtues, from her obliging manners down to her light and graceful tread “There goes good-humour, I am sure,” said he presently“There goes a temper which would never give pain! How well she walks! and how readily she falls in with the inclination of others! joining them the moment she is askedWhat a pity,” he added, after an instant’s reflection, “that she should have been in such hands!” Fanny agreed to it, and had the pleasure of seeing him continue at the window with her, in spite of the expected glee; and of having his eyes soon turned, like hers, towards the scene without, where all that was solemn, and soothing, and lovely, appeared in the brilliancy of an unclouded night, and the contrast of the deep shade of the woodsFanny spoke her feelings“Here’s harmony!” said she; “here’s repose! Here’s what may leave all painting and all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt to describe! Here’s what may tranquillise every care, and lift the heart to rapture! When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene “I like to hear your enthusiasm, Fanny | | 6:27 am |
