But it is capable of much

no, no, a dozen is more than it is worthLady Bertram does not bid
a dozenShe will have nothing to say to it By some
such improvements as I have suggested (I do not really require you
to proceed upon my plan, though, by the bye, I doubt anybody?s
striking out a better) you may give it a higher characterYou may
raise it into a placeFrom being the mere gentleman?s residence, it
becomes, by judicious improvement, the residence of a man of education,
taste, modern manners, good connexionsAll this may be
stamped on it; and that house receive such an air as to make its
owner be set down as the great landholder of the parish by every
creature travelling the road; especially as there is no real squire?s
house to dispute the point?a circumstance, between ourselves, to
enhance the value of such a situation in point of privilege and independence
beyond all calculationYou think with me, I hope? (turning
with a softened voice to Fanny)?Have you ever seen the place??
Fanny gave a quick negative, and tried to hide her interest in the
subject by an eager attention to her brother, who was driving as
hard a bargain, and imposing on her as much as he could; but
Crawford pursued with ?No, no, you must not part with the queen
You have bought her too dearly, and your brother does not offer
half her louis vuitton gold bag valueNo, no, sir, hands off, hands offYour sister does not
part with the queenShe is quite determinedThe game will be
yours,? turning to her again; ?it will certainly be yours
?And Fanny had much rather it were William?s,? said Edmund,
smiling at her?Poor Fanny! not allowed to cheat herself as she
wishes!?
?MrBertram,? said Miss Crawford, a few minutes afterwards,
?you know Henry to be such a capital improver, that you cannot
possibly engage in anything of the sort at Thornton Lacey without
accepting his helpOnly think how useful he was at Sotherton! Only
think what grand things were produced there by our all going with
him one hot day in August to drive about the grounds, and see his

much done at Sotherton; but it was a hot day, and we were all walking

him shelter, he added, in a low voice, directed solely at Fanny, ?I

Sotherton was a word to catch MrsNorris, and being just then in

Thornton Lacey; and not being able to catch Edmund?s ear, was

His scheme was to rent the house himself the following winter,
that he might have a home of his own in that neighbourhood;

was then telling her), though that consideration had certainly some
weight, feeling as he did that, in spite of all DrGrant?s very great
kindness, it was impossible for him and his horses to be accommodated

attachment to tiffany heart tag toggle necklace that neighbourhood did not depend upon one amusement
or one season of the year: he had set his heart upon having a
something there that he could come to at any time, a little homestall

of appropriating any part of the compliment to herself, or of

CHAPTER XI
THE DAY AT SOTHERTON, with all its imperfections, afforded the Miss
Bertrams much more discount louis vuitton bags agreeable feelings than were derived from the
letters from Antigua, which soon afterwards reached MansfieldIt
was much pleasanter to think of Henry Crawford than of their father;
and to think of their father in England again within a certain
period, which these letters obliged them to do, was a most unwelcome
exercise
November was the black month fixed for his returnSir Thomas
wrote of it with as much decision as experience and anxiety could
authoriseHis business was so nearly concluded as to justify him in
proposing to take his passage in the September packet, and he consequently
looked forward with the hope of being with his beloved
family again early in November
Maria was more to be pitied than Julia; for to her the father brought
a husband, and the return of the friend most solicitous for her happiness
would unite her to the lover, on whom she had chosen that
happiness should dependIt was a gloomy prospect, and all she
could do was to throw a mist over it, and hope when the mist cleared
away she should see something elseIt would hardly be early in November,
there were generally delays, a bad passage or something; that
favouring something which everybody who shuts their eyes louis vuitton women's bags while they
look, or their understandings while they reason, feels the comfort of
It would probably be the middle of November at least; the middle of
November was three months offThree months comprised thirteen
weeksMuch might happen in thirteen weeks
Sir Thomas would have been deeply mortified by a suspicion of
half that his daughters felt on the subject of his return, and would
hardly have found consolation in a knowledge of the interest it excited
in the breast of another young ladyMiss Crawford, on walk95
Jane Austen
ing up with her brother to spend the evening at Mansfield Park,
heard the good news; and though seeming to have no concern in
the affair beyond politeness, and to have vented all her feelings in a
quiet congratulation, heard it with an attention not so easily satisfiedNorris gave the particulars of the letters, and the subject
was dropt; but after tea, as Miss Crawford was standing at an open
window with Edmund and Fanny looking out on a twilight scene,
while the Miss Bertrams, MrRushworth, and Henry Crawford were
all busy with candles at the pianoforte, she suddenly revived it by
turning round towards the group, and saying, ?How happy Mr
Rushworth looks! He is tiffany replica thinking of November
Edmund looked round at MrRushworth too, but had nothing
to say
?Your father?s return will be a very interesting event
?It will, indeed, after such an absence; an absence not only long,
but including so many dangers
?It will be the forerunner also of other interesting events: your
sister?s marriage, and your taking orders
?Don?t be affronted,? said she, laughing, ?but it does put me in
mind of some of the old heathen heroes, who, after performing
great exploits in a foreign land, offered sacrifices to the gods on
their safe return
?There is no sacrifice in the case,? replied Edmund, with a serious
smile, and glancing at the pianoforte again; ?it is entirely her own
doing
?Oh yes I know it isShe has done no more
than what every young woman would do; and I have no doubt of
her being extremely happyMy other sacrifice, of course, you do
not understand
?My taking orders, I assure you, is quite as voluntary as Maria?s
marrying
?It is fortunate that your inclination and your father?s convenience
should accord so wellThere is a very good living kept for you, I
understand, hereabouts
?Which you suppose has biassed me??

You're new in town and you have to be careful of your reputationPeople haven't made up their minds about him yet, you

PaulineAll the old stories-he was
expelled from West cartier woman watches Point, his own father had disowned him for his wild
behavior, he was known to have made money in disreputable ways, as
a
professional gambler on Mississippi riverboats, in the brawling gold
fields of California, and worst of all through consorting with
scallywags and carpetbaggersTrue, he'd been a brave soldier for the
Confederacy, a blockade runner and a gunner in Lee's Army, and he'd
given most of his dirty money to the Confederate causeHa! Scarlett

his past was definitely unsavoryIt was all well and good that he'd
come home to take care of his mother and sister, but he'd taken his
own
sweet time getting around to itIf his father hadn't starved himself
to death to pay for a big life insurance, his mother and sister would
probably have died of neglectScarlett ground her teeth to keep from
shouting chanel big bags at PaulineIt wasn't true about the insurance! Rhett had
never, never for a minute, stopped caring about his mother, but
his father wouldn't let her accept anything from him! It was only when
MrButler died that Rhett was able to buy Miss Eleanor the house and
give her moneyButler had to put the story around
about the insurance to account for her prosperityBecause Rhett's
money was considered dirtyMoney was money, couldn't these
stiff-necked Charlestonians see that? What difference did it make
where it came from if it kept a roof over their heads and food in their
bellies? Why didn't Pauline stop preaching at her? What on earth was
she talking about now? The stupid fertilizer business
That was another jokeThere wasn't enough fertilizer in the world to
account for the money Rhett was throwing away on foolishness like
chasing down his mother's old furniture and rolex daytona men's watches silver and pictures of
greatgrandparents, and paying perfectly healthy men to baby his

Scarlett felt a warm weakness travelling through her body,
and she forced herself to remember where she wasShe paid for the
telegram and listened attentively when the telegraph operator gave
her
directions to the Convent of the Sisters of MercyThen she set off at
such a rapid pace that Pansy almost had to run to keep upWhile she
was waiting for Rhett to come, she should have just enough time to
track down Carreen's Mother Superior and get her to talk to the
Bishop,
as Rhett had suggested
Savannah's Convent of the Sisters of Mercy was a big white building
with a cross over its tall closed doors, surrounded by a tall iron
fence with closed gates surmounted by iron crossesScarlett's rapid
pace slowed, then she stoppedIt was very different from the
handsome
brick house in Charleston"Is you going in there, Miss Scarlett?"
Pansy's voice had a quaver in it"I better wait montre cartier extra plate outside
"Don't be such a goose!" Pansy's fearfulness gave Scarlett courage
"It's not a church, just a home for nice ladies like Miss Carreen
The gate opened at her touch
Yes, said the elderly nun who opened the door when Scarlett rang the
bell, yes, Charleston's Mother Superior was thereNo, she couldn't
ask her to see MrsThere was a meeting in
progressNo, she didn't know how long it would last, nor whether the
Mother Superior would be able to see MrsButler when it was overButler would like to see the schoolrooms; the convent
was
very proud of its schoolOr it was possible that a tour of the new
Cathedral building could be arrangedAfter that, perhaps the Mother
Superior could be sent a message, if the meeting had endedScarlett
forced herself to smileThe last thing on earth I want to do is
admire a bunch of children, she thought angrilyOr look at some
church, pink gucci bag eitherShe was about to say that she'd simply come back

new
Cathedral, were they? That cost moneyMaybe her offer to buy back
Carreen's share of Tara would be looked on more favorably here than
it
had been in Charleston, just like Rhett saidAfter all, Tara was
Georgia property, probably controlled by the Bishop of Georgia
Suppose she offered to buy a stained glass window in the new
Cathedral
as Carreen's dowry? The cost would be much higher than Carreen's
share
of Tara was worth, and she'd make it clear that the window was in
exchange, not in additionThe Bishop would listen to reason, and
then
he'd tell the Mother Superior what to doScarlett's smile became
warmer, wider
"I'd be honored to see the Cathedral, Sister, if you're sure it's not
too much trouble Pansy's mouth gaped open when she looked up cartier ballon blue at
the
soaring twin spires of the handsome Gothic-design Cathedral
The workmen on the scaffolding that surrounded the nearly completed
towers looked small and nimble, like brightly garbed squirrels high in
paired treesBut Scarlett had no eyes for the drama overhead
Her pulse was quickened by the organized hubbub on the ground, the
sounds of hammering, sawing, and especially by the familiar resiny
smell of fresh-cut lumberOh, how she missed the lumber mills and
lumberyardsHer palms itched with the yearning to run her hands
over
the clean wood, to be busy, to be doing something, making a
difference,
running things-instead of taking tea from dainty cups with washedout,
dainty old ladiesScarlett heard barely a word of the descriptive
wonders outlined by the young priest who was her escortShe did not
even notice the surreptitious admiring looks of the burly laborers who
stood ladies gucci bangle watch back from their work to allow the priest and his companion free
passageShe was too preoccupied to listen or noticeWhat fine

had, what kind of power
Oh, if only she was a man! Then she could ask, could go see the mill
instead of this churchScarlett scuffled her feet through a mound of
fresh wood shavings and inhaled the tonic of the sharp scent of them
"I must get back to the school for dinner," said the priest
apologetically"Of course, Father, I'm ready to go She wasn't but
what else could she say? Scarlett followed him out of the Cathedral
and onto the sidewalk"Begging your pardon, Father

Rushworth came back from the Parsonage successful; and Edmund
made his appearance just in time to learn what had been settled for
Wednesday, to attend MrsRushworth to her carriage, and walk
half-way down the park with the two other ladies
On his return to the breakfast-room, he found MrsNorris trying
to make up her mind as to whether Miss Crawford?s being of the
party were desirable or not, or whether her brother?s barouche would
not be full without herThe Miss Bertrams laughed at the idea,
assuring her that the barouche would hold four perfectly well, inde68

?But why is it necessary,? said Edmund, ?that Crawford?s carriage,
or his only, should be employed? Why is no use to be made of my
mother?s chaise? I could not, when the scheme was first mentioned
the other day, understand why a visit from the family were not to be
made in the carriage of the family
?What!? cried Julia: ?go boxed up three in a postchaise in this
weather, when we may have seats in a barouche! No, my dear
Edmund, that will not quite do
?Besides,? said Maria, ?I know that MrCrawford very cheap chanel bags depends upon
taking usAfter what passed at first, he would claim it as a promise
?And, my dear Edmund,? added MrsNorris, ?taking out two carriages
when one will do, would be trouble for nothing; and, between
ourselves, coachman is not very fond of the roads between this and
Sotherton: he always complains bitterly of the narrow lanes scratching
his carriage, and you know one should not like to have dear Sir
Thomas, when he comes home, find all the varnish scratched off
?That would not be a very handsome reason for using Mr
Crawford?s,? said Maria; ?but the truth is, that Wilcox is a stupid
old fellow, and does not know how to driveI will answer for it that
we shall find no inconvenience from narrow roads on Wednesday
?There is no hardship, I suppose, nothing unpleasant,? said

her pleasure at any time; but her opposition to Edmund now,
arose more from partiality for her own scheme, because it was her
own, than from anything elseShe felt that she had arranged everything

MrsRushworth?s account, because he had taken the opportunity,

drinking since Rhett came back to Charleston a year agoRoss was
trying to make the plantation go, he's been slaving away at it ever

it
goIt would have been Rhett's anyhow, except that he and his
father-but that's another story"Ross got a position as teller at a
bank, but I'm afraid he thought that handling money was vulgar
Gentlemen always signed bills in the old days, or simply gave their
word, and their factors took care of everythingAt any rate, Ross
made mistakes at hiscage, his accounts never balanced, and one day
he
made a big mistake, and he lost hisjobWorse, the bank said they
were
going to law to get the money from him that he'd paid out in errorIt was like a dagger in Ross' heart
The heavy miu miu black handbag drinking started then, and now it's cost him another job
On top of that, some fool-or villain-let it slip that Rhett had arranged
the job for him in the first placeHe went right home and got so
drunk he could hardly walk"I love Rhett best, may God
forgive me, I always haveHe was my first-born, and I laid my heart
in his tiny hands the moment he was put in my armsI love Ross and
Rosemary, but not the way I love Rhett, and I'm afraid they know it
Rosemary thinks it's because he was gone for so long, then came back
like a genie from a bottle and bought me everything in this house,
bought her the pretty frocks she'd been longing for
She doesn't remember what it was like before he went awayShe was
only a baby, she doesn't know that fendi large clutch he always came first with me

he didn't care overmuchSteven cast Rhett out, made Ross his heir

years
this monthAnd Rhett is home again, and the joy of it fills my life,
