“
I
should
be
most
happy
,
”
replied
he
aloud
,
and
jumping
up
with
alacrity
,
“
it
would
give
me
the
greatest
pleasure
;
but
that
I
am
this
moment
going
to
dance
.
”
Come
,
Fanny
,
taking
her
hand
,
“
do
not
be
dawdling
any
longer
,
or
the
dance
will
be
over
.
”
672
Fanny
was
led
off
very
willingly
,
though
it
was
impossible
for
her
to
feel
much
gratitude
towards
her
cousin
,
or
distinguish
,
as
he
certainly
did
,
between
the
selfishness
of
another
person
and
his
own
.
673
“
A
pretty
modest
request
upon
my
word
,
”
he
indignantly
exclaimed
as
they
walked
away
.
“
To
want
to
nail
me
to
a
card
-
table
for
the
next
two
hours
with
herself
and
Dr
.
Grant
,
who
are
always
quarrelling
,
and
that
poking
old
woman
,
who
knows
no
more
of
whist
than
of
algebra
.
I
wish
my
good
aunt
would
be
a
little
less
busy
!
And
to
ask
me
in
such
a
way
too
!
without
ceremony
,
before
them
all
,
so
as
to
leave
me
no
possibility
of
refusing
.
That
is
what
I
dislike
most
particularly
.
It
raises
my
spleen
more
than
anything
,
to
have
the
pretence
of
being
asked
,
of
being
given
a
choice
,
and
at
the
same
time
addressed
in
such
a
way
as
to
oblige
one
to
do
the
very
thing
,
whatever
it
be
!
If
I
had
not
luckily
thought
of
standing
up
with
you
I
could
not
have
got
out
of
it
.
It
is
a
great
deal
too
bad
.
But
when
my
aunt
has
got
a
fancy
in
her
head
,
nothing
can
stop
her
.

The
Honourable
John
Yates
,
this
new
friend
,
had
not
much
to
recommend
him
beyond
habits
of
fashion
and
expense
,
and
being
the
younger
son
of
a
lord
with
a
tolerable
independence
;
and
Sir
Thomas
would
probably
have
thought
his
introduction
at
Mansfield
by
no
means
desirable
.
Mr
.
Bertram
’
s
acquaintance
with
him
had
begun
at
Weymouth
,
where
they
had
spent
ten
days
together
in
the
same
society
,
and
the
friendship
,
if
friendship
it
might
be
called
,
had
been
proved
and
perfected
by
Mr
.
Yates
’
s
being
invited
to
take
Mansfield
in
his
way
,
whenever
he
could
,
and
by
his
promising
to
come
;
and
he
did
come
rather
earlier
than
had
been
expected
,
in
consequence
of
the
sudden
breaking
-
up
of
a
large
party
assembled
for
gaiety
at
the
house
of
another
friend
,
which
he
had
left
Weymouth
to
join
.
He
came
on
the
wings
of
disappointment
,
and
with
his
head
full
of
acting
,
for
it
had
been
a
theatrical
party
;
and
the
play
in
which
he
had
borne
a
part
was
within
two
days
of
representation
,
when
the
sudden
death
of
one
of
the
nearest
connexions
of
the
family
had
destroyed
the
scheme
and
dispersed
the
performers
.
To
be
so
near
happiness
,
so
near
fame
,
so
near
the
long
paragraph
in
praise
of
the
private
theatricals
at
Ecclesford
,
the
seat
of
the
Right
Hon
.
Lord
Ravenshaw
,
in
Cornwall
,
which
would
of
course
have
immortalised
the
whole
party
for
at
least
a
twelvemonth
!
and
being
so
near
,
to
lose
it
all
,
was
an
injury
to
be
keenly
felt
,
and
Mr
.
Yates
could
talk
of
nothing
else
.
Ecclesford
and
its
theatre
,
with
its
arrangements
and
dresses
,
rehearsals
and
jokes
,
was
his
never
-
failing
subject
,
and
to
boast
of
the
past
his
only
consolation
.
675
Happily
for
him
,
a
love
of
the
theatre
is
so
general
,
an
itch
for
acting
so
strong
among
young
people
,
that
he
could
hardly
out
-
talk
the
interest
of
his
hearers
.
From
the
first
casting
of
the
parts
to
the
epilogue
it
was
all
bewitching
,
and
there
were
few
who
did
not
wish
to
have
been
a
party
concerned
,
or
would
have
hesitated
to
try
their
skill
.
The
play
had
been
Lovers
’
Vows
,
and
Mr
.
Yates
was
to
have
been
Count
Cassel
.
“
A
trifling
part
,
”
said
he
,
“
and
not
at
all
to
my
taste
,
and
such
a
one
as
I
certainly
would
not
accept
again
;
but
I
was
determined
to
make
no
difficulties
.
Lord
Ravenshaw
and
the
duke
had
appropriated
the
only
two
characters
worth
playing
before
I
reached
Ecclesford
;
and
though
Lord
Ravenshaw
offered
to
resign
his
to
me
,
it
was
impossible
to
take
it
,
you
know
.
I
was
sorry
for
him
that
he
should
have
so
mistaken
his
powers
,
for
he
was
no
more
equal
to
the
Baron
—
a
little
man
with
a
weak
voice
,
always
hoarse
after
the
first
ten
minutes
.
It
must
have
injured
the
piece
materially
;
but
I
was
resolved
to
make
no
difficulties
.
Sir
Henry
thought
the
duke
not
equal
to
Frederick
,
but
that
was
because
Sir
Henry
wanted
the
part
himself
;
whereas
it
was
certainly
in
the
best
hands
of
the
two
.
I
was
surprised
to
see
Sir
Henry
such
a
stick
.
Luckily
the
strength
of
the
piece
did
not
depend
upon
him
.
Our
Agatha
was
inimitable
,
and
the
duke
was
thought
very
great
by
many
.
And
upon
the
whole
,
it
would
certainly
have
gone
off
wonderfully
.
”
676
“
It
was
a
hard
case
,
upon
my
word
”
;
and
,
“
I
do
think
you
were
very
much
to
be
pitied
,
”
were
the
kind
responses
of
listening
sympathy
.
677
“
It
is
not
worth
complaining
about
;
but
to
be
sure
the
poor
old
dowager
could
not
have
died
at
a
worse
time
;
and
it
is
impossible
to
help
wishing
that
the
news
could
have
been
suppressed
for
just
the
three
days
we
wanted
.
It
was
but
three
days
;
and
being
only
a
grandmother
,
and
all
happening
two
hundred
miles
off
,
I
think
there
would
have
been
no
great
harm
,
and
it
was
suggested
,
I
know
;
but
Lord
Ravenshaw
,
who
I
suppose
is
one
of
the
most
correct
men
in
England
,
would
not
hear
of
it
.

“
An
afterpiece
instead
of
a
comedy
,
”
said
Mr
.
Bertram
.
“
Lovers
’
Vows
were
at
an
end
,
and
Lord
and
Lady
Ravenshaw
left
to
act
My
Grandmother
by
themselves
.
Well
,
the
jointure
may
comfort
him
;
and
perhaps
,
between
friends
,
he
began
to
tremble
for
his
credit
and
his
lungs
in
the
Baron
,
and
was
not
sorry
to
withdraw
;
and
to
make
you
amends
,
Yates
,
I
think
we
must
raise
a
little
theatre
at
Mansfield
,
and
ask
you
to
be
our
manager
.
”
679
This
,
though
the
thought
of
the
moment
,
did
not
end
with
the
moment
;
for
the
inclination
to
act
was
awakened
,
and
in
no
one
more
strongly
than
in
him
who
was
now
master
of
the
house
;
and
who
,
having
so
much
leisure
as
to
make
almost
any
novelty
a
certain
good
,
had
likewise
such
a
degree
of
lively
talents
and
comic
taste
,
as
were
exactly
adapted
to
the
novelty
of
acting
.
The
thought
returned
again
and
again
.
“
Oh
for
the
Ecclesford
theatre
and
scenery
to
try
something
with
.
”
Each
sister
could
echo
the
wish
;
and
Henry
Crawford
,
to
whom
,
in
all
the
riot
of
his
gratifications
it
was
yet
an
untasted
pleasure
,
was
quite
alive
at
the
idea
.
680
“
I
really
believe
,
”
said
he
,
“
I
could
be
fool
enough
at
this
moment
to
undertake
any
character
that
ever
was
written
,
from
Shylock
or
Richard
III
down
to
the
singing
hero
of
a
farce
in
his
scarlet
coat
and
cocked
hat
.
I
feel
as
if
I
could
be
anything
or
everything
;
as
if
I
could
rant
and
storm
,
or
sigh
or
cut
capers
,
in
any
tragedy
or
comedy
in
the
English
language
.
Let
us
be
doing
something
.
Be
it
only
half
a
play
,
an
act
,
a
scene
;
what
should
prevent
us
?
Not
these
countenances
,
I
am
sure
,
”
looking
towards
the
Miss
Bertrams
;
“
and
for
a
theatre
,
what
signifies
a
theatre
?
We
shall
be
only
amusing
ourselves
.
Any
room
in
this
house
might
suffice
.
