Theo Amber Cross by mail in Miranda. Few waited Fanny Price's opinion very heavily. She was a poor relation of the Bertram's of Mansfield Park and not a daughter of the house after all. By contrast, her cousins Maria and Julia were much thought off, much petted, much spoiled to Fanny. It was not spoiling, but only her cousins do. They were everything that she was not beautiful, accomplished, clever, well regarded by everyone, while she had been told over and over since her arrival is a 10 year old girl. How plain stupid and inconsequential she wasin comparison and how she must be grateful and retiring above all, seeking neither attention or her own will. Fanny believed this with all her heart and never put herself forward even when she ought. She was a timid girl by nature, afraid of her stern uncle, Sir Thomas, and taken for granted is a help meet by her aunt, the languid and dozy Lady Bertram. Then there was her shriller aunt, Lady Bertram's busy, energetic sister, Mrs Norris, who did nothing to ease her. Gentleness is life on did much to make it harder. A typical exchange, I beseech entreat you not to be putting yourself forward and talking and giving your opinion is if you are one of your cousins, as if you were Dear Maria or Julia, that would never dio believe me. Remember, wherever you are, you must be the lowest and last. Yes, Mom, I should not think of anything else. Fanny would reply with unfair and humility off her two male cousins, Thie, eldest Tom thought little of her or anyone else. Edmund, however, was all kindness watching over her since her arrival at Mansfield Park was really concerned for and gentleness toward, his little cousin said Thomas had worried at first that perhaps one of his sons might form an attachment to the penniless girl. But her retiring nature and unremarkable looks made that prospect unlikely. Someone, Sir Thomas, left for Antigone business. He departed, convinced nothing would happen in that corner. As for attachments, one wass made, but it was unrequited. Fanny's love for Edmund went unspoken and completely unnoticed by everyone. To her great relief, Edmund felt nothing for her than brotherly regards. She was sure, so he wants one of the only two people funny, new loved her. Edmund and her brother, William a midshipman in the Navy. Funny did have one opinion so silently held all off. Their present troubles arose on the arrival of Henry and Mary Crawford at the parsonage. The Crawfords were the half siblings of the vicar's wife, Mrs Grant, to Fanny. Their arrival had changed Mrs Grant well, always cheerful and pleasant. She had become almost vivacious, entering into every scheme and freak and conducting herself an amount of most. Unlike what funny considered appropriate for a vicar's wife. Dr. Grant himself had become more retiring. A disposition to indolence collapsed into near simulant, leaving his wife to her own devices. I'm afraid Mary and Henry have worn him quite ragged, she laughed. Henry Crawford was not an overly attractive man. He was short and foxy of face. His thick, glossy black hair and dark eyes were his saving graces, but his rumoured fortune made him attractive to many. A mother on DH aren't Mrs Norris wished especially to match him with Julia, since Maria was betrothed to the extremely wealthy Mr Rushworth off Sotherton, but his inappropriate and somewhat cruel attentions to her cousin's war. Fanny ragged with worry, for while her cousin's thought little of her Fanny's was a tender heart only she seemed to notice that his rotations pitted the sisters against one another.
