She
began
,
and
Fanny
joined
in
with
all
the
modest
feeling
which
the
idea
of
representing
Edmund
was
so
strongly
calculated
to
inspire
;
but
with
looks
and
voice
so
truly
feminine
as
to
be
no
very
good
picture
of
a
man
.
With
such
an
Anhalt
,
however
,
Miss
Crawford
had
courage
enough
;
and
they
had
got
through
half
the
scene
,
when
a
tap
at
the
door
brought
a
pause
,
and
the
entrance
of
Edmund
,
the
next
moment
,
suspended
it
all
.
922
Surprise
,
consciousness
,
and
pleasure
appeared
in
each
of
the
three
on
this
unexpected
meeting
;
and
as
Edmund
was
come
on
the
very
same
business
that
had
brought
Miss
Crawford
,
consciousness
and
pleasure
were
likely
to
be
more
than
momentary
in
them
.
923
He
too
had
his
book
,
and
was
seeking
Fanny
,
to
ask
her
to
rehearse
with
him
,
and
help
him
to
prepare
for
the
evening
,
without
knowing
Miss
Crawford
to
be
in
the
house
;
and
great
was
the
joy
and
animation
of
being
thus
thrown
together
,
of
comparing
schemes
,
and
sympathising
in
praise
of
Fanny
’
s
kind
offices
.

She
could
not
equal
them
in
their
warmth
.
Her
spirits
sank
under
the
glow
of
theirs
,
and
she
felt
herself
becoming
too
nearly
nothing
to
both
to
have
any
comfort
in
having
been
sought
by
either
.
They
must
now
rehearse
together
.
Edmund
proposed
,
urged
,
entreated
it
,
till
the
lady
,
not
very
unwilling
at
first
,
could
refuse
no
longer
,
and
Fanny
was
wanted
only
to
prompt
and
observe
them
.
She
was
invested
,
indeed
,
with
the
office
of
judge
and
critic
,
and
earnestly
desired
to
exercise
it
and
tell
them
all
their
faults
;
but
from
doing
so
every
feeling
within
her
shrank
—
she
could
not
,
would
not
,
dared
not
attempt
it
:
had
she
been
otherwise
qualified
for
criticism
,
her
conscience
must
have
restrained
her
from
venturing
at
disapprobation
.
She
believed
herself
to
feel
too
much
of
it
in
the
aggregate
for
honesty
or
safety
in
particulars
.
To
prompt
them
must
be
enough
for
her
;
and
it
was
sometimes
more
than
enough
;
for
she
could
not
always
pay
attention
to
the
book
.
In
watching
them
she
forgot
herself
;
and
,
agitated
by
the
increasing
spirit
of
Edmund
’
s
manner
,
had
once
closed
the
page
and
turned
away
exactly
as
he
wanted
help
.
It
was
imputed
to
very
reasonable
weariness
,
and
she
was
thanked
and
pitied
;
but
she
deserved
their
pity
more
than
she
hoped
they
would
ever
surmise
.
925
At
last
the
scene
was
over
,
and
Fanny
forced
herself
to
add
her
praise
to
the
compliments
each
was
giving
the
other
;
and
when
again
alone
and
able
to
recall
the
whole
,
she
was
inclined
to
believe
their
performance
would
,
indeed
,
have
such
nature
and
feeling
in
it
as
must
ensure
their
credit
,
and
make
it
a
very
suffering
exhibition
to
herself
.
Whatever
might
be
its
effect
,
however
,
she
must
stand
the
brunt
of
it
again
that
very
day
.
926
The
first
regular
rehearsal
of
the
three
first
acts
was
certainly
to
take
place
in
the
evening
:
Mrs
.
Grant
and
the
Crawfords
were
engaged
to
return
for
that
purpose
as
soon
as
they
could
after
dinner
;
and
every
one
concerned
was
looking
forward
with
eagerness
.
There
seemed
a
general
diffusion
of
cheerfulness
on
the
occasion
.
Tom
was
enjoying
such
an
advance
towards
the
end
;
Edmund
was
in
spirits
from
the
morning
’
s
rehearsal
,
and
little
vexations
seemed
everywhere
smoothed
away
.
All
were
alert
and
impatient
;
the
ladies
moved
soon
,
the
gentlemen
soon
followed
them
,
and
with
the
exception
of
Lady
Bertram
,
Mrs
.
Norris
,
and
Julia
,
everybody
was
in
the
theatre
at
an
early
hour
;
and
having
lighted
it
up
as
well
as
its
unfinished
state
admitted
,
were
waiting
only
the
arrival
of
Mrs
.
Grant
and
the
Crawfords
to
begin
.
927
They
did
not
wait
long
for
the
Crawfords
,
but
there
was
no
Mrs
.
Grant
.
She
could
not
come
.
Dr
.
Grant
,
professing
an
indisposition
,
for
which
he
had
little
credit
with
his
fair
sister
-
in
-
law
,
could
not
spare
his
wife
.

“
Dr
.
Grant
is
ill
,
”
said
she
,
with
mock
solemnity
.
“
He
has
been
ill
ever
since
he
did
not
eat
any
of
the
pheasant
today
.
929
He
fancied
it
tough
,
sent
away
his
plate
,
and
has
been
suffering
ever
since
”
.
930
Here
was
disappointment
!
Mrs
.
Grant
’
s
non
-
attendance
was
sad
indeed
.
Her
pleasant
manners
and
cheerful
conformity
made
her
always
valuable
amongst
them
;
but
now
she
was
absolutely
necessary
.
They
could
not
act
,
they
could
not
rehearse
with
any
satisfaction
without
her
.
The
comfort
of
the
whole
evening
was
destroyed
.
What
was
to
be
done
?
Tom
,
as
Cottager
,
was
in
despair
.
After
a
pause
of
perplexity
,
some
eyes
began
to
be
turned
towards
Fanny
,
and
a
voice
or
two
to
say
,
“
If
Miss
Price
would
be
so
good
as
to
read
the
part
.
”
She
was
immediately
surrounded
by
supplications
;
everybody
asked
it
;
even
Edmund
said
,
“
Do
,
Fanny
,
if
it
is
not
very
disagreeable
to
you
.
”
