Though
Edmund
was
much
more
displeased
with
his
aunt
than
with
his
mother
,
as
evincing
least
regard
for
her
niece
,
he
could
not
help
paying
more
attention
to
what
she
said
;
and
at
length
determined
on
a
method
of
proceeding
which
would
obviate
the
risk
of
his
father
s
thinking
he
had
done
too
much
,
and
at
the
same
time
procure
for
Fanny
the
immediate
means
of
exercise
,
which
he
could
not
bear
she
should
be
without
.
He
had
three
horses
of
his
own
,
but
not
one
that
would
carry
a
woman
.
Two
of
them
were
hunters
;
the
third
,
a
useful
road
-
horse
:
this
third
he
resolved
to
exchange
for
one
that
his
cousin
might
ride
;
he
knew
where
such
a
one
was
to
be
met
with
;
and
having
once
made
up
his
mind
,
the
whole
business
was
soon
completed
.
The
new
mare
proved
a
treasure
;
with
a
very
little
trouble
she
became
exactly
calculated
for
the
purpose
,
and
Fanny
was
then
put
in
almost
full
possession
of
her
.
She
had
not
supposed
before
that
anything
could
ever
suit
her
like
the
old
grey
pony
;
but
her
delight
in
Edmund
s
mare
was
far
beyond
any
former
pleasure
of
the
sort
;
and
the
addition
it
was
ever
receiving
in
the
consideration
of
that
kindness
from
which
her
pleasure
sprung
,
was
beyond
all
her
words
to
express
.
She
regarded
her
cousin
as
an
example
of
everything
good
and
great
,
as
possessing
worth
which
no
one
but
herself
could
ever
appreciate
,
and
as
entitled
to
such
gratitude
from
her
as
no
feelings
could
be
strong
enough
to
pay
.
Her
sentiments
towards
him
were
compounded
of
all
that
was
respectful
,
grateful
,
confiding
,
and
tender
.
162
As
the
horse
continued
in
name
,
as
well
as
fact
,
the
property
of
Edmund
,
Mrs
.
Norris
could
tolerate
its
being
for
Fanny
s
use
;
and
had
Lady
Bertram
ever
thought
about
her
own
objection
again
,
he
might
have
been
excused
in
her
eyes
for
not
waiting
till
Sir
Thomas
s
return
in
September
,
for
when
September
came
Sir
Thomas
was
still
abroad
,
and
without
any
near
prospect
of
finishing
his
business
.
Unfavourable
circumstances
had
suddenly
arisen
at
a
moment
when
he
was
beginning
to
turn
all
his
thoughts
towards
England
;
and
the
very
great
uncertainty
in
which
everything
was
then
involved
determined
him
on
sending
home
his
son
,
and
waiting
the
final
arrangement
by
himself
.
Tom
arrived
safely
,
bringing
an
excellent
account
of
his
father
s
health
;
but
to
very
little
purpose
,
as
far
as
Mrs
.
Norris
was
concerned
.
Sir
Thomas
s
sending
away
his
son
seemed
to
her
so
like
a
parent
s
care
,
under
the
influence
of
a
foreboding
of
evil
to
himself
,
that
she
could
not
help
feeling
dreadful
presentiments
;
and
as
the
long
evenings
of
autumn
came
on
,
was
so
terribly
haunted
by
these
ideas
,
in
the
sad
solitariness
of
her
cottage
,
as
to
be
obliged
to
take
daily
refuge
in
the
dining
-
room
of
the
Park
.
The
return
of
winter
engagements
,
however
,
was
not
without
its
effect
;
and
in
the
course
of
their
progress
,
her
mind
became
so
pleasantly
occupied
in
superintending
the
fortunes
of
her
eldest
niece
,
as
tolerably
to
quiet
her
nerves
.
163
If
poor
Sir
Thomas
were
fated
never
to
return
,
it
would
be
peculiarly
consoling
to
see
their
dear
Maria
well
married
,
she
very
often
thought
;
always
when
they
were
in
the
company
of
men
of
fortune
,
and
particularly
on
the
introduction
of
a
young
man
who
had
recently
succeeded
to
one
of
the
largest
estates
and
finest
places
in
the
country
.

Mr
.
Rushworth
was
from
the
first
struck
with
the
beauty
of
Miss
Bertram
,
and
,
being
inclined
to
marry
,
soon
fancied
himself
in
love
.
He
was
a
heavy
young
man
,
with
not
more
than
common
sense
;
but
as
there
was
nothing
disagreeable
in
his
figure
or
address
,
the
young
lady
was
well
pleased
with
her
conquest
.
Being
now
in
her
twenty
-
first
year
,
Maria
Bertram
was
beginning
to
think
matrimony
a
duty
;
and
as
a
marriage
with
Mr
.
Rushworth
would
give
her
the
enjoyment
of
a
larger
income
than
her
father
s
,
as
well
as
ensure
her
the
house
in
town
,
which
was
now
a
prime
object
,
it
became
,
by
the
same
rule
of
moral
obligation
,
her
evident
duty
to
marry
Mr
.
Rushworth
if
she
could
.
Mrs
.
Norris
was
most
zealous
in
promoting
the
match
,
by
every
suggestion
and
contrivance
likely
to
enhance
its
desirableness
to
either
party
;
and
,
among
other
means
,
by
seeking
an
intimacy
with
the
gentleman
s
mother
,
who
at
present
lived
with
him
,
and
to
whom
she
even
forced
Lady
Bertram
to
go
through
ten
miles
of
indifferent
road
to
pay
a
morning
visit
.
It
was
not
long
before
a
good
understanding
took
place
between
this
lady
and
herself
.
Mrs
.
165
Rushworth
acknowledged
herself
very
desirous
that
her
son
should
marry
,
and
declared
that
of
all
the
young
ladies
she
had
ever
seen
,
Miss
Bertram
seemed
,
by
her
amiable
qualities
and
accomplishments
,
the
best
adapted
to
make
him
happy
.
Mrs
.
Norris
accepted
the
compliment
,
and
admired
the
nice
discernment
of
character
which
could
so
well
distinguish
merit
.
Maria
was
indeed
the
pride
and
delight
of
them
all
perfectly
faultless
an
angel
;
and
,
of
course
,
so
surrounded
by
admirers
,
must
be
difficult
in
her
choice
:
but
yet
,
as
far
as
Mrs
.
Norris
could
allow
herself
to
decide
on
so
short
an
acquaintance
,
Mr
.
Rushworth
appeared
precisely
the
young
man
to
deserve
and
attach
her
.
166
After
dancing
with
each
other
at
a
proper
number
of
balls
,
the
young
people
justified
these
opinions
,
and
an
engagement
,
with
a
due
reference
to
the
absent
Sir
Thomas
,
was
entered
into
,
much
to
the
satisfaction
of
their
respective
families
,
and
of
the
general
lookers
-
on
of
the
neighbourhood
,
who
had
,
for
many
weeks
past
,
felt
the
expediency
of
Mr
.
Rushworth
s
marrying
Miss
Bertram
.
167
It
was
some
months
before
Sir
Thomas
s
consent
could
be
received
;
but
,
in
the
meanwhile
,
as
no
one
felt
a
doubt
of
his
most
cordial
pleasure
in
the
connexion
,
the
intercourse
of
the
two
families
was
carried
on
without
restraint
,
and
no
other
attempt
made
at
secrecy
than
Mrs
.
Norris
s
talking
of
it
everywhere
as
a
matter
not
to
be
talked
of
at
present
.

Edmund
was
the
only
one
of
the
family
who
could
see
a
fault
in
the
business
;
but
no
representation
of
his
aunt
s
could
induce
him
to
find
Mr
.
Rushworth
a
desirable
companion
.
169
He
could
allow
his
sister
to
be
the
best
judge
of
her
own
happiness
,
but
he
was
not
pleased
that
her
happiness
should
centre
in
a
large
income
;
nor
could
he
refrain
from
often
saying
to
himself
,
in
Mr
.
Rushworth
s
company
If
this
man
had
not
twelve
thousand
a
year
,
he
would
be
a
very
stupid
fellow
.
170
Sir
Thomas
,
however
,
was
truly
happy
in
the
prospect
of
an
alliance
so
unquestionably
advantageous
,
and
of
which
he
heard
nothing
but
the
perfectly
good
and
agreeable
.
It
was
a
connexion
exactly
of
the
right
sort
in
the
same
county
,
and
the
same
interest
and
his
most
hearty
concurrence
was
conveyed
as
soon
as
possible
.
He
only
conditioned
that
the
marriage
should
not
take
place
before
his
return
,
which
he
was
again
looking
eagerly
forward
to
.
He
wrote
in
April
,
and
had
strong
hopes
of
settling
everything
to
his
entire
satisfaction
,
and
leaving
Antigua
before
the
end
of
the
summer
.
