The
entrance
of
the
Grants
and
Crawfords
was
a
favourable
epoch
.
The
stiffness
of
the
meeting
soon
gave
way
before
their
popular
manners
and
more
diffused
intimacies
:
little
groups
were
formed
,
and
everybody
grew
comfortable
.
Fanny
felt
the
advantage
;
and
,
drawing
back
from
the
toils
of
civility
,
would
have
been
again
most
happy
,
could
she
have
kept
her
eyes
from
wandering
between
Edmund
and
Mary
Crawford
.
She
looked
all
loveliness
—
and
what
might
not
be
the
end
of
it
?
Her
own
musings
were
brought
to
an
end
on
perceiving
Mr
.
Crawford
before
her
,
and
her
thoughts
were
put
into
another
channel
by
his
engaging
her
almost
instantly
for
the
first
two
dances
.
Her
happiness
on
this
occasion
was
very
much
a
la
mortal
,
finely
chequered
.
To
be
secure
of
a
partner
at
first
was
a
most
essential
good
—
for
the
moment
of
beginning
was
now
growing
seriously
near
;
and
she
so
little
understood
her
own
claims
as
to
think
that
if
Mr
.
Crawford
had
not
asked
her
,
she
must
have
been
the
last
to
be
sought
after
,
and
should
have
received
a
partner
only
through
a
series
of
inquiry
,
and
bustle
,
and
interference
,
which
would
have
been
terrible
;
but
at
the
same
time
there
was
a
pointedness
in
his
manner
of
asking
her
which
she
did
not
like
,
and
she
saw
his
eye
glancing
for
a
moment
at
her
necklace
,
with
a
smile
—
she
thought
there
was
a
smile
—
which
made
her
blush
and
feel
wretched
.
And
though
there
was
no
second
glance
to
disturb
her
,
though
his
object
seemed
then
to
be
only
quietly
agreeable
,
she
could
not
get
the
better
of
her
embarrassment
,
heightened
as
it
was
by
the
idea
of
his
perceiving
it
,
and
had
no
composure
till
he
turned
away
to
some
one
else
.
Then
she
could
gradually
rise
up
to
the
genuine
satisfaction
of
having
a
partner
,
a
voluntary
partner
,
secured
against
the
dancing
began
.
When
the
company
were
moving
into
the
ballroom
,
she
found
herself
for
the
first
time
near
Miss
Crawford
,
whose
eyes
and
smiles
were
immediately
and
more
unequivocally
directed
as
her
brother
’
s
had
been
,
and
who
was
beginning
to
speak
on
the
subject
,
when
Fanny
,
anxious
to
get
the
story
over
,
hastened
to
give
the
explanation
of
the
second
necklace
:
the
real
chain
.
Miss
Crawford
listened
;
and
all
her
intended
compliments
and
insinuations
to
Fanny
were
forgotten
:
she
felt
only
one
thing
;
and
her
eyes
,
bright
as
they
had
been
before
,
shewing
they
could
yet
be
brighter
,
she
exclaimed
with
eager
pleasure
,
“
Did
he
?
Did
Edmund
?
That
was
like
himself
.
No
other
man
would
have
thought
of
it
.
I
honour
him
beyond
expression
.
”
And
she
looked
around
as
if
longing
to
tell
him
so
.
He
was
not
near
,
he
was
attending
a
party
of
ladies
out
of
the
room
;
and
Mrs
.
Grant
coming
up
to
the
two
girls
,
and
taking
an
arm
of
each
,
they
followed
with
the
rest
.

Fanny
’
s
heart
sunk
,
but
there
was
no
leisure
for
thinking
long
even
of
Miss
Crawford
’
s
feelings
.
They
were
in
the
ballroom
,
the
violins
were
playing
,
and
her
mind
was
in
a
flutter
that
forbade
its
fixing
on
anything
serious
.
She
must
watch
the
general
arrangements
,
and
see
how
everything
was
done
.
In
a
few
minutes
Sir
Thomas
came
to
her
,
and
asked
if
she
were
engaged
;
and
the
“
Yes
,
sir
;
to
Mr
.
Crawford
,
”
was
exactly
what
he
had
intended
to
hear
.
Mr
.
Crawford
was
not
far
off
;
Sir
Thomas
brought
him
to
her
,
saying
something
which
discovered
to
Fanny
,
that
she
was
to
lead
the
way
and
open
the
ball
;
an
idea
that
had
never
occurred
to
her
before
.
Whenever
she
had
thought
of
the
minutiae
of
the
evening
,
it
had
been
as
a
matter
of
course
that
Edmund
would
begin
with
Miss
Crawford
;
and
the
impression
was
so
strong
,
that
though
her
uncle
spoke
the
contrary
,
she
could
not
help
an
exclamation
of
surprise
,
a
hint
of
her
unfitness
,
an
entreaty
even
to
be
excused
.
To
be
urging
her
opinion
against
Sir
Thomas
’
s
was
a
proof
of
the
extremity
of
the
case
;
but
such
was
her
horror
at
the
first
suggestion
,
that
she
could
actually
look
him
in
the
face
and
say
that
she
hoped
it
might
be
settled
otherwise
;
in
vain
,
however
:
Sir
Thomas
smiled
,
tried
to
encourage
her
,
and
then
looked
too
serious
,
and
said
too
decidedly
,
“
It
must
be
so
,
my
dear
,
”
for
her
to
hazard
another
word
;
and
she
found
herself
the
next
moment
conducted
by
Mr
.
Crawford
to
the
top
of
the
room
,
and
standing
there
to
be
joined
by
the
rest
of
the
dancers
,
couple
after
couple
,
as
they
were
formed
.
She
could
hardly
believe
it
.
To
be
placed
above
so
many
elegant
young
women
!
The
distinction
was
too
great
.

It
was
treating
her
like
her
cousins
!
And
her
thoughts
flew
to
those
absent
cousins
with
most
unfeigned
and
truly
tender
regret
,
that
they
were
not
at
home
to
take
their
own
place
in
the
room
,
and
have
their
share
of
a
pleasure
which
would
have
been
so
very
delightful
to
them
.
So
often
as
she
had
heard
them
wish
for
a
ball
at
home
as
the
greatest
of
all
felicities
!
And
to
have
them
away
when
it
was
given
—
and
for
her
to
be
opening
the
ball
—
and
with
Mr
.
Crawford
too
!
She
hoped
they
would
not
envy
her
that
distinction
now
;
but
when
she
looked
back
to
the
state
of
things
in
the
autumn
,
to
what
they
had
all
been
to
each
other
when
once
dancing
in
that
house
before
,
the
present
arrangement
was
almost
more
than
she
could
understand
herself
.
The
ball
began
.
It
was
rather
honour
than
happiness
to
Fanny
,
for
the
first
dance
at
least
:
her
partner
was
in
excellent
spirits
,
and
tried
to
impart
them
to
her
;
but
she
was
a
great
deal
too
much
frightened
to
have
any
enjoyment
till
she
could
suppose
herself
no
longer
looked
at
.
Young
,
pretty
,
and
gentle
,
however
,
she
had
no
awkwardnesses
that
were
not
as
good
as
graces
,
and
there
were
few
persons
present
that
were
not
disposed
to
praise
her
.
She
was
attractive
,
she
was
modest
,
she
was
Sir
Thomas
’
s
niece
,
and
she
was
soon
said
to
be
admired
by
Mr
.
Crawford
.
It
was
enough
to
give
her
general
favour
.
Sir
Thomas
himself
was
watching
her
progress
down
the
dance
with
much
complacency
;
he
was
proud
of
his
niece
;
and
without
attributing
all
her
personal
beauty
,
as
Mrs
.
Norris
seemed
to
do
,
to
her
transplantation
to
Mansfield
,
he
was
pleased
with
himself
for
having
supplied
everything
else
:
education
and
manners
she
owed
to
him
.
