Mrs
.
Norris
was
ready
with
her
suggestions
as
to
the
rooms
he
would
think
fittest
to
be
used
,
but
found
it
all
prearranged
;
and
when
she
would
have
conjectured
and
hinted
about
the
day
,
it
appeared
that
the
day
was
settled
too
.
Sir
Thomas
had
been
amusing
himself
with
shaping
a
very
complete
outline
of
the
business
;
and
as
soon
as
she
would
listen
quietly
,
could
read
his
list
of
the
families
to
be
invited
,
from
whom
he
calculated
,
with
all
necessary
allowance
for
the
shortness
of
the
notice
,
to
collect
young
people
enough
to
form
twelve
or
fourteen
couple
:
and
could
detail
the
considerations
which
had
induced
him
to
fix
on
the
22nd
as
the
most
eligible
day
.
William
was
required
to
be
at
Portsmouth
on
the
24th
;
the
22nd
would
therefore
be
the
last
day
of
his
visit
;
but
where
the
days
were
so
few
it
would
be
unwise
to
fix
on
any
earlier
.
Mrs
.
Norris
was
obliged
to
be
satisfied
with
thinking
just
the
same
,
and
with
having
been
on
the
point
of
proposing
the
22nd
herself
,
as
by
far
the
best
day
for
the
purpose
.
The
ball
was
now
a
settled
thing
,
and
before
the
evening
a
proclaimed
thing
to
all
whom
it
concerned
.
Invitations
were
sent
with
despatch
,
and
many
a
young
lady
went
to
bed
that
night
with
her
head
full
of
happy
cares
as
well
as
Fanny
.

To
her
the
cares
were
sometimes
almost
beyond
the
happiness
;
for
young
and
inexperienced
,
with
small
means
of
choice
and
no
confidence
in
her
own
taste
,
the
“
how
she
should
be
dressed
”
was
a
point
of
painful
solicitude
;
and
the
almost
solitary
ornament
in
her
possession
,
a
very
pretty
amber
cross
which
William
had
brought
her
from
Sicily
,
was
the
greatest
distress
of
all
,
for
she
had
nothing
but
a
bit
of
ribbon
to
fasten
it
to
;
and
though
she
had
worn
it
in
that
manner
once
,
would
it
be
allowable
at
such
a
time
in
the
midst
of
all
the
rich
ornaments
which
she
supposed
all
the
other
young
ladies
would
appear
in
?
And
yet
not
to
wear
it
!
William
had
wanted
to
buy
her
a
gold
chain
too
,
but
the
purchase
had
been
beyond
his
means
,
and
therefore
not
to
wear
the
cross
might
be
mortifying
him
.
These
were
anxious
considerations
;
enough
to
sober
her
spirits
even
under
the
prospect
of
a
ball
given
principally
for
her
gratification
.
The
preparations
meanwhile
went
on
,
and
Lady
Bertram
continued
to
sit
on
her
sofa
without
any
inconvenience
from
them
.
She
had
some
extra
visits
from
the
housekeeper
,
and
her
maid
was
rather
hurried
in
making
up
a
new
dress
for
her
:
Sir
Thomas
gave
orders
,
and
Mrs
.
Norris
ran
about
;
but
all
this
gave
her
no
trouble
,
and
as
she
had
foreseen
,
“
there
was
,
in
fact
,
no
trouble
in
the
business
.
”
Edmund
was
at
this
time
particularly
full
of
cares
:
his
mind
being
deeply
occupied
in
the
consideration
of
two
important
events
now
at
hand
,
which
were
to
fix
his
fate
in
life
—
ordination
and
matrimony
—
events
of
such
a
serious
character
as
to
make
the
ball
,
which
would
be
very
quickly
followed
by
one
of
them
,
appear
of
less
moment
in
his
eyes
than
in
those
of
any
other
person
in
the
house
.
On
the
23rd
he
was
going
to
a
friend
near
Peterborough
,
in
the
same
situation
as
himself
,
and
they
were
to
receive
ordination
in
the
course
of
the
Christmas
week
.
Half
his
destiny
would
then
be
determined
,
but
the
other
half
might
not
be
so
very
smoothly
wooed
.
His
duties
would
be
established
,
but
the
wife
who
was
to
share
,
and
animate
,
and
reward
those
duties
,
might
yet
be
unattainable
.
He
knew
his
own
mind
,
but
he
was
not
always
perfectly
assured
of
knowing
Miss
Crawford
’
s
.
There
were
points
on
which
they
did
not
quite
agree
;
there
were
moments
in
which
she
did
not
seem
propitious
;
and
though
trusting
altogether
to
her
affection
,
so
far
as
to
be
resolved
—
almost
resolved
—
on
bringing
it
to
a
decision
within
a
very
short
time
,
as
soon
as
the
variety
of
business
before
him
were
arranged
,
and
he
knew
what
he
had
to
offer
her
,
he
had
many
anxious
feelings
,
many
doubting
hours
as
to
the
result
.
His
conviction
of
her
regard
for
him
was
sometimes
very
strong
;
he
could
look
back
on
a
long
course
of
encouragement
,
and
she
was
as
perfect
in
disinterested
attachment
as
in
everything
else
.

But
at
other
times
doubt
and
alarm
intermingled
with
his
hopes
;
and
when
he
thought
of
her
acknowledged
disinclination
for
privacy
and
retirement
,
her
decided
preference
of
a
London
life
,
what
could
he
expect
but
a
determined
rejection
?
unless
it
were
an
acceptance
even
more
to
be
deprecated
,
demanding
such
sacrifices
of
situation
and
employment
on
his
side
as
conscience
must
forbid
.
The
issue
of
all
depended
on
one
question
.
Did
she
love
him
well
enough
to
forego
what
had
used
to
be
essential
points
?
Did
she
love
him
well
enough
to
make
them
no
longer
essential
?
And
this
question
,
which
he
was
continually
repeating
to
himself
,
though
oftenest
answered
with
a
“
Yes
,
”
had
sometimes
its
“
No
.
”
Miss
Crawford
was
soon
to
leave
Mansfield
,
and
on
this
circumstance
the
“
no
”
and
the
“
yes
”
had
been
very
recently
in
alternation
.
He
had
seen
her
eyes
sparkle
as
she
spoke
of
the
dear
friend
’
s
letter
,
which
claimed
a
long
visit
from
her
in
London
,
and
of
the
kindness
of
Henry
,
in
engaging
to
remain
where
he
was
till
January
,
that
he
might
convey
her
thither
;
he
had
heard
her
speak
of
the
pleasure
of
such
a
journey
with
an
animation
which
had
“
no
”
in
every
tone
.
But
this
had
occurred
on
the
first
day
of
its
being
settled
,
within
the
first
hour
of
the
burst
of
such
enjoyment
,
when
nothing
but
the
friends
she
was
to
visit
was
before
her
.
He
had
since
heard
her
express
herself
differently
,
with
other
feelings
,
more
chequered
feelings
:
he
had
heard
her
tell
Mrs
.
