Tom
Bertram
had
of
late
spent
so
little
of
his
time
at
home
that
he
could
be
only
nominally
missed
;
and
Lady
Bertram
was
soon
astonished
to
find
how
very
well
they
did
even
without
his
father
,
how
well
Edmund
could
supply
his
place
in
carving
,
talking
to
the
steward
,
writing
to
the
attorney
,
settling
with
the
servants
,
and
equally
saving
her
from
all
possible
fatigue
or
exertion
in
every
particular
but
that
of
directing
her
letters
.
152
The
earliest
intelligence
of
the
travellers
safe
arrival
at
Antigua
,
after
a
favourable
voyage
,
was
received
;
though
not
before
Mrs
.
Norris
had
been
indulging
in
very
dreadful
fears
,
and
trying
to
make
Edmund
participate
them
whenever
she
could
get
him
alone
;
and
as
she
depended
on
being
the
first
person
made
acquainted
with
any
fatal
catastrophe
,
she
had
already
arranged
the
manner
of
breaking
it
to
all
the
others
,
when
Sir
Thomas
s
assurances
of
their
both
being
alive
and
well
made
it
necessary
to
lay
by
her
agitation
and
affectionate
preparatory
speeches
for
a
while
.
153
The
winter
came
and
passed
without
their
being
called
for
;
the
accounts
continued
perfectly
good
;
and
Mrs
.
Norris
,
in
promoting
gaieties
for
her
nieces
,
assisting
their
toilets
,
displaying
their
accomplishments
,
and
looking
about
for
their
future
husbands
,
had
so
much
to
do
as
,
in
addition
to
all
her
own
household
cares
,
some
interference
in
those
of
her
sister
,
and
Mrs
.
Grant
s
wasteful
doings
to
overlook
,
left
her
very
little
occasion
to
be
occupied
in
fears
for
the
absent
.

The
Miss
Bertrams
were
now
fully
established
among
the
belles
of
the
neighbourhood
;
and
as
they
joined
to
beauty
and
brilliant
acquirements
a
manner
naturally
easy
,
and
carefully
formed
to
general
civility
and
obligingness
,
they
possessed
its
favour
as
well
as
its
admiration
.
Their
vanity
was
in
such
good
order
that
they
seemed
to
be
quite
free
from
it
,
and
gave
themselves
no
airs
;
while
the
praises
attending
such
behaviour
,
secured
and
brought
round
by
their
aunt
,
served
to
strengthen
them
in
believing
they
had
no
faults
.
155
Lady
Bertram
did
not
go
into
public
with
her
daughters
.
She
was
too
indolent
even
to
accept
a
mother
s
gratification
in
witnessing
their
success
and
enjoyment
at
the
expense
of
any
personal
trouble
,
and
the
charge
was
made
over
to
her
sister
,
who
desired
nothing
better
than
a
post
of
such
honourable
representation
,
and
very
thoroughly
relished
the
means
it
afforded
her
of
mixing
in
society
without
having
horses
to
hire
.
156
Fanny
had
no
share
in
the
festivities
of
the
season
;
but
she
enjoyed
being
avowedly
useful
as
her
aunt
s
companion
when
they
called
away
the
rest
of
the
family
;
and
,
as
Miss
Lee
had
left
Mansfield
,
she
naturally
became
everything
to
Lady
Bertram
during
the
night
of
a
ball
or
a
party
.
She
talked
to
her
,
listened
to
her
,
read
to
her
;
and
the
tranquillity
of
such
evenings
,
her
perfect
security
in
such
a
tete
-
a
-
tete
from
any
sound
of
unkindness
,
was
unspeakably
welcome
to
a
mind
which
had
seldom
known
a
pause
in
its
alarms
or
embarrassments
.
157
As
to
her
cousins
gaieties
,
she
loved
to
hear
an
account
of
them
,
especially
of
the
balls
,
and
whom
Edmund
had
danced
with
;
but
thought
too
lowly
of
her
own
situation
to
imagine
she
should
ever
be
admitted
to
the
same
,
and
listened
,
therefore
,
without
an
idea
of
any
nearer
concern
in
them
.
Upon
the
whole
,
it
was
a
comfortable
winter
to
her
;
for
though
it
brought
no
William
to
England
,
the
never
-
failing
hope
of
his
arrival
was
worth
much
.

The
ensuing
spring
deprived
her
of
her
valued
friend
,
the
old
grey
pony
;
and
for
some
time
she
was
in
danger
of
feeling
the
loss
in
her
health
as
well
as
in
her
affections
;
for
in
spite
of
the
acknowledged
importance
of
her
riding
on
horse
-
back
,
no
measures
were
taken
for
mounting
her
again
,
because
,
as
it
was
observed
by
her
aunts
,
she
might
ride
one
of
her
cousin
s
horses
at
any
time
when
they
did
not
want
them
,
and
as
the
Miss
Bertrams
regularly
wanted
their
horses
every
fine
day
,
and
had
no
idea
of
carrying
their
obliging
manners
to
the
sacrifice
of
any
real
pleasure
,
that
time
,
of
course
,
never
came
.
They
took
their
cheerful
rides
in
the
fine
mornings
of
April
and
May
;
and
Fanny
either
sat
at
home
the
whole
day
with
one
aunt
,
or
walked
beyond
her
strength
at
the
instigation
of
the
other
:
Lady
Bertram
holding
exercise
to
be
as
unnecessary
for
everybody
as
it
was
unpleasant
to
herself
;
and
Mrs
.
Norris
,
who
was
walking
all
day
,
thinking
everybody
ought
to
walk
as
much
.
Edmund
was
absent
at
this
time
,
or
the
evil
would
have
been
earlier
remedied
.
159
When
he
returned
,
to
understand
how
Fanny
was
situated
,
and
perceived
its
ill
effects
,
there
seemed
with
him
but
one
thing
to
be
done
;
and
that
Fanny
must
have
a
horse
was
the
resolute
declaration
with
which
he
opposed
whatever
could
be
urged
by
the
supineness
of
his
mother
,
or
the
economy
of
his
aunt
,
to
make
it
appear
unimportant
.
Mrs
.
Norris
could
not
help
thinking
that
some
steady
old
thing
might
be
found
among
the
numbers
belonging
to
the
Park
that
would
do
vastly
well
;
or
that
one
might
be
borrowed
of
the
steward
;
or
that
perhaps
Dr
.
Grant
might
now
and
then
lend
them
the
pony
he
sent
to
the
post
.
She
could
not
but
consider
it
as
absolutely
unnecessary
,
and
even
improper
,
that
Fanny
should
have
a
regular
lady
s
horse
of
her
own
,
in
the
style
of
her
cousins
.
She
was
sure
Sir
Thomas
had
never
intended
it
:
and
she
must
say
that
,
to
be
making
such
a
purchase
in
his
absence
,
and
adding
to
the
great
expenses
of
his
stable
,
at
a
time
when
a
large
part
of
his
income
was
unsettled
,
seemed
to
her
very
unjustifiable
.
Fanny
must
have
a
horse
,
was
Edmund
s
only
reply
.
Mrs
.
Norris
could
not
see
it
in
the
same
light
.
Lady
Bertram
did
:
she
entirely
agreed
with
her
son
as
to
the
necessity
of
it
,
and
as
to
its
being
considered
necessary
by
his
father
;
she
only
pleaded
against
there
being
any
hurry
;
she
only
wanted
him
to
wait
till
Sir
Thomas
s
return
,
and
then
Sir
Thomas
might
settle
it
all
himself
.
160
He
would
be
at
home
in
September
,
and
where
would
be
the
harm
of
only
waiting
till
September
?
