When he and Crawford walked into the drawingroom, his mother and Fanny were sitting as intently and silently at work as if there were nothing else to care forEdmund could not help noticing their apparently deep tranquillity ?We have not been so silent all the time,? replied his mother ?Fanny has been reading to me, and only put the book down upon hearing you coming And sure enough there was a book on the table which had the air of being very recently closed: a volume of Shakespeare?She often reads to me out of those books; and she was in the middle of a very fine speech of that man?s?what?s his name, Fanny??when we heard your footsteps Crawford took the volume?Let me have the pleasure of finishing that speech to your ladyship,? said he?I shall find it immediately And by carefully giving way to the inclination of the leaves, he did find it, or within a page or two, quite near enough to satisfy Lady Bertram, who assured him, as soon as he mentioned the name of Cardinal Wolsey, that he had got the very speechNot a look or an offer of help had Fanny given; not a syllable for or againstAll her attention was for her workShe necklace tiffany seemed determined to be interested by nothing elseBut taste was too strong in herShe could not abstract her mind five minutes: she was forced to listen; his reading was capital, and her pleasure in good reading extremeTo good reading, however, she had been long used: her uncle read well, her cousins all, Edmund very well, but in MrCrawford?s reading there was a variety of excellence beyond what she had ever met withThe 292 Mansfield Park King, the Queen, Buckingham, Wolsey, Cromwell, all were given in turn; for with the happiest knack, the happiest power of jumping and guessing, he could always alight at will on the best scene, or the best speeches of each; and whether it were dignity, or pride, or tenderness, or remorse, or whatever were to be expressed, he could do it with equal beautyIt was truly dramaticHis acting had first taught Fanny what pleasure a play might give, and his reading brought all his acting before her again; nay, perhaps with greater enjoyment, for it came unexpectedly, and with no such drawback as she had been used to suffer in seeing him on the stage with Miss Bertram Edmund watched the progress chanel wholesale purse of her attention, and was amused and gratified by seeing how she gradually slackened in the needlework, which at the beginning seemed to occupy her totally: how it fell from her hand while she sat motionless over it, and at last, how the eyes which had appeared so studiously to avoid him throughout the day were turned and fixed on Crawford?fixed on him for minutes, fixed on him, in short, till the attraction drew Crawford?s upon her, and the book was closed, and the charm was brokenThen she was shrinking again into herself, and blushing and working as hard as ever; but it had been enough to give Edmund encouragement for his friend, and as he cordially thanked him, he hoped to be expressing Fanny?s secret feelings too ?That play must be a favourite with you,? said he; ?you read as if you knew it well ?It will be a favourite, I believe, from this hour,? replied Crawford; ?but I do not think I have had a volume of Shakespeare in my hand before since I was fifteenI once saw Henry the Eighth acted, or I have heard of it from somebody who did, I am not certain which But Shakespeare one gets acquainted with without knowing rolex watches for women howIt is a part of an Englishman?s constitutionHis thoughts and beauties are so spread abroad that one touches them everywhere; one is intimate with him by instinctNo man of any brain can open at a good part of one of his plays without falling into the flow of his meaning immediately ?No doubt one is familiar with Shakespeare in a degree,? said Edmund, ?from one?s earliest yearsHis celebrated passages are quoted by everybody; they are in half the books we open, and we all 293 Jane Austen talk Shakespeare, use his similes, and describe with his descriptions; but this is totally distinct from giving his sense as you gave itTo know him in bits and scraps is common enough; to know him pretty thoroughly is, perhaps, not uncommon; but to read him well aloud is no everyday talent ?Sir, you do me honour,? was Crawford?s answer, with a bow of mock gravity Both gentlemen had a glance at Fanny, to see if a word of accordant praise could be extorted from her; yet both feeling that it could not beHer praise had been given in her attention; that must content them Lady Bertram?s admiration was expressed, and strongly too?It was really dolce and gabbana handbag like being at a play,? said she?I wish Sir Thomas had been here Crawford was excessively pleasedIf Lady Bertram, with all her incompetency and languor, could feel this, the inference of what her niece, alive and enlightened as she was, must feel, was elevating ?You have a great turn for acting, I am sure, MrCrawford,? said her ladyship soon afterwards; ?and I will tell you what, I think you will have a theatre, some time or other, at your house in NorfolkI mean when you are settled thereI think you will fit up a theatre at your house in Norfolk ?Do you, ma?am?? cried he, with quickness?No, no, that will never beYour ladyship is quite mistakenNo theatre at Everingham! Oh no!? And he looked at Fanny with an expressive smile, which evidently meant, ?That lady will never allow a theatre at Everingham Edmund saw it all, and saw Fanny so determined not to see it, as to make it clear that the voice was enough to convey the full meaning of the protestation; and such a quick consciousness of compliment, such a ready comprehension of a hint, he thought, was rather favourable than not The subject of reading aloud was farther shopping online chanel bags discu
