Alanna Thornton’s Reviews > Mansfield Park > Status Update

When she had been coming to Portsmouth, she had loved to call it her home, had been fond of saying that she was going home; the word had been very dear to her; and so it still was, but it must be applied to Mansfield. That was now the home.
Portsmouth was Portsmouth; Mansfield was home.

William was gone;-and the home he had left her in, was-Fanny could not conceal it from herself-in almost every respect, the very reverse of what she could have wished. It was the abode of noise, disorder, and impropriety.

In my situation, it would have been the extreme of vanity to be forming expectations on Mr. Crawford. I am sure his sisters, rating him as they do, must have thought it so, supposing he had meant nothing. How then was I to be-to be in love with him the moment he said he was with me? How was I to have an attachment at his service, as soon as it was asked for?

Love this!

Volume III!!

No idea what to think of Henry Crawford now!!

“Fanny Price-Wonderful-quite wonderful! — That Mansfield should have done so much for-that you should have found your fate in Mansfield!”

"where is Fanny?" became no uncommon question, even without her being wanted for any one's convenience.

A delightful change haha

"You must really begin to harden yourself to the idea of being worth looking at.-You must try not to mind growing up into a pretty woman."
"Oh! don't talk so, don't talk so," cried Fanny, distressed by more feelings than he was aware of

Stay gone Henry Crawford

Part II

“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.”
