Mansfield Park

CHAPTER X
6/17

Yes, certainly, the sun shines, and the park looks very cheerful.

But unluckily that iron gate, that ha-ha, give me a feeling of restraint and hardship.

'I cannot get out,' as the starling said." As she spoke, and it was with expression, she walked to the gate: he followed her.

"Mr.
Rushworth is so long fetching this key!" "And for the world you would not get out without the key and without Mr.
Rushworth's authority and protection, or I think you might with little difficulty pass round the edge of the gate, here, with my assistance; I think it might be done, if you really wished to be more at large, and could allow yourself to think it not prohibited." "Prohibited! nonsense! I certainly can get out that way, and I will.
Mr.Rushworth will be here in a moment, you know; we shall not be out of sight." "Or if we are, Miss Price will be so good as to tell him that he will find us near that knoll: the grove of oak on the knoll." Fanny, feeling all this to be wrong, could not help making an effort to prevent it.
