Just a cessation of pain? Was there anything else left?

@@@@@She would try to be more ambitious than her @@@@@She would try to be more ambitious than her heart would allow She would hesitate, she would tease, she would condition, she would require a great deal, but she would finally accept This was Fanny’s most frequent expectationA house in town— that, she thought, must be impossibleYet there was no saying what Miss Crawford might not askThe prospect for her cousin grew worse and worseThe woman who could speak of him, and speak only of his appearance! What an unworthy attachment! To be deriving support from the commendations of MrsFraser! She who had known him intimately half a year! Fanny was ashamed of herThose parts of the letter which related only to MrCrawford and herself, touched her, in comparison, slightlyCrawford went into Norfolk before or after the 14th was certainly no concern of hers, though, everything considered, she thought he would go without delayThat Miss Crawford should endeavour to secure a meeting between him and MrsRushworth, was all in her worst line of conduct, and grossly unkind and ill-judged; but she hoped he would not be actuated by any such degrading curiosityHe acknowledged no such inducement, and his sister ought to have given him credit for better feelings than her own She was yet more impatient for another letter from town after receiving this than she had been before; and for a few days was so 366 Mansfield Park unsettled by it altogether, by what had come, and what might come, that her usual readings and conversation with Susan were much suspendedShe could not command her attention as she wishedCrawford remembered her message to her cousin, she thought it very likely, most likely, that he would write to her at all events; it would be most consistent with his usual kindness; and till she got rid of this idea, till it gradually wore off, by no letters appearing in the course of three or four days more, she was in a most restless, anxious state At length, a something like composure succeededSuspense must be submitted to, and must not be allowed to wear her out, and make her uselessTime did something, her own exertions something more, and she resumed her attentions to Susan, and again awakened the same interest in them Susan was growing very fond of her, and though without any of the early delight in books which had been so strong in Fanny, with a disposition much less inclined to sedentary pursuits, or to information for information’s sake, she had so strong a desire of not appearing ignorant, as, with a good clear understanding, made her a most attentive, profitable, thankful pupil Fanny’s explanations and remarks were a most important addition to every essay, or every chapter of historyWhat Fanny told her of former times dwelt more on her mind than the pages of Goldsmith; and she paid her sister the compliment of preferring her style to that of any printed authorThe early habit of reading was wanting Their conversations, however, were not always on subjects so high as history or moralsOthers had their hour; and of lesser matters, none returned so often, or remained so long between them, as Mansfield Park, a description of the people, the manners, the amusements, the ways of Mansfield |
