He had come, intending to spend only a few days with them; but Mansfield promised well, and there was nothing to call him elsewhere.

It delighted Mrs.Grant to keep them both with her, and Dr.Grant was exceedingly well contented to have it so: a talking pretty young woman like Miss Crawford is always pleasant society to an indolent, stay-at-home man; and Mr.Crawford's being his guest was an excuse for drinking claret every day.
The Miss Bertrams' admiration of Mr.Crawford was more rapturous than anything which Miss Crawford's habits made her likely to feel.

She acknowledged, however, that the Mr.Bertrams were very fine young men, that two such young men were not often seen together even in London, and that their manners, particularly those of the eldest, were very good.
_He_ had been much in London, and had more liveliness and gallantry than Edmund, and must, therefore, be preferred; and, indeed, his being the eldest was another strong claim.

She had felt an early presentiment that she _should_ like the eldest best.

She knew it was her way.
Tom Bertram must have been thought pleasant, indeed, at any rate; he was the sort of young man to be generally liked, his agreeableness was of the kind to be oftener found agreeable than some endowments of a higher stamp, for he had easy manners, excellent spirits, a large acquaintance, and a great deal to say; and the reversion of Mansfield Park, and a baronetcy, did no harm to all this.
