Mansfield Park

CHAPTER XXXVI
11/22

Thinking, I hope, of one who is always thinking of you.

Oh! that I could transport you for a short time into our circle in town, that you might understand how your power over Henry is thought of there! Oh! the envyings and heartburnings of dozens and dozens; the wonder, the incredulity that will be felt at hearing what you have done! For as to secrecy, Henry is quite the hero of an old romance, and glories in his chains.

You should come to London to know how to estimate your conquest.

If you were to see how he is courted, and how I am courted for his sake! Now, I am well aware that I shall not be half so welcome to Mrs.Fraser in consequence of his situation with you.

When she comes to know the truth she will, very likely, wish me in Northamptonshire again; for there is a daughter of Mr.Fraser, by a first wife, whom she is wild to get married, and wants Henry to take.
