_Here_, I know, I am of none, and yet I love the place so well." "The place, Fanny, is what you will not quit, though you quit the house.
You will have as free a command of the park and gardens as ever.

Even _your_ constant little heart need not take fright at such a nominal change.

You will have the same walks to frequent, the same library to choose from, the same people to look at, the same horse to ride." "Very true.

Yes, dear old grey pony! Ah! cousin, when I remember how much I used to dread riding, what terrors it gave me to hear it talked of as likely to do me good (oh! how I have trembled at my uncle's opening his lips if horses were talked of), and then think of the kind pains you took to reason and persuade me out of my fears, and convince me that I should like it after a little while, and feel how right you proved to be, I am inclined to hope you may always prophesy as well." "And I am quite convinced that your being with Mrs.Norris will be as good for your mind as riding has been for your health, and as much for your ultimate happiness too." So ended their discourse, which, for any very appropriate service it could render Fanny, might as well have been spared, for Mrs.Norris had not the smallest intention of taking her.

It had never occurred to her, on the present occasion, but as a thing to be carefully avoided.
