@@@@@If we are to act, let it be in a theatre @@@@@If we are to act, let it be in a theatre completely fitted up with pit, boxes, and gallery, and let us have a play entire from beginning to end; so as it be a German play, no matter what, with a good tricking, shifting afterpiece, and a figure-dance, and a hornpipe, and a song between the actsIf we do not outdo Ecclesford, we do nothing 110 Mansfield Park “Now, Edmund, do not be disagreeable,” said Julia“Nobody loves a play better than you do, or can have gone much farther to see one “True, to see real acting, good hardened real acting; but I would hardly walk from this room to the next to look at the raw efforts of those who have not been bred to the trade: a set of gentlemen and ladies, who have all the disadvantages of education and decorum to struggle through After a short pause, however, the subject still continued, and was discussed with unabated eagerness, every one’s inclination increasing by the discussion, and a knowledge of the inclination of the rest; and though nothing was settled but that Tom Bertram would prefer a comedy, and his sisters and Henry Crawford a tragedy, and that nothing in the world could be easier than to find a piece which would please them all, the resolution to act something or other seemed so decided as to make Edmund quite uncomfortableHe was determined to prevent it, if possible, though his mother, who equally heard the conversation which passed at table, did not evince the least disapprobation The same evening afforded him an opportunity of trying his strengthMaria, Julia, Henry Crawford, and MrYates were in the billiard-roomTom, returning from them into the drawing-room, where Edmund was standing thoughtfully by the fire, while Lady Bertram was on the sofa at a little distance, and Fanny close beside her arranging her work, thus began as he entered—”Such a horribly vile billiard-table as ours is not to be met with, I believe, above groundI can stand it no longer, and I think, I may say, that nothing shall ever tempt me to it again; but one good thing I have just ascertained: it is the very room for a theatre, precisely the shape and length for it; and the doors at the farther end, communicating with each other, as they may be made to do in five minutes, by merely moving the bookcase in my father’s room, is the very thing we could have desired, if we had sat down to wish for it; and my father’s room will be an excellent greenroomIt seems to join the billiard-room on purpose “You are not serious, Tom, in meaning to act?” said Edmund, in a low voice, as his brother approached the fire 111 Jane Austen “Not serious! never more so, I assure youWhat is there to surprise you in it?” “I think it would be very wrongIn a general light, private theatricals are open to some objections, but as we are circumstanced, I must think it would be highly injudicious, and more than injudicious to attempt anything of the kindIt would shew great want of feeling on my father’s account, absent as he is, and in some degree of constant danger; and it would be imprudent, I think, with regard to Maria, whose situation is a very delicate one, considering everything, extremely delicate “You take up a thing so seriously! as if we were going to act three times a week till my father’s return, and invite all the countryBut it is not to be a display of that sortWe mean nothing but a little amusement among ourselves, just to vary the scene, and exercise our powers in something newWe want no audience, no publicity We may be trusted, I think, in chusing some play most perfectly unexceptionable; and I can conceive no greater harm or danger to any of us in conversing in the elegant written language of some respectable author than in chattering in words of our ownI have no fears and no scruplesAnd as to my father’s being absent, it is so far from an objection, that I consider it rather as a motive; for the expectation of his return must be a very anxious period to my mother; and if we can be the means of amusing that anxiety, and keeping up her spirits for the next few weeks, I shall think our time very well spent, and so, I am sure, wil | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 10:02 pm |

@@@@@He started pacing after that, back and forth @@@@@He started pacing after that, back and forth in front of the screen, but he seemed to feel silly after a couple of passesThen he sat down on the floor beside the open end of the screen The gun eventually settled on his folded legs, and his chin into his cupped handsAfter a long time, he sighedGuard duty was not as exciting as he'd been expecting I did not get bored watching him After maybe an hour or two, he started looking at me again, flickering glancesHis lips opened a few times, and then he thought better of whatever he was going to say I laid my chin on my knees and waited as he struggledMy patience was rewarded “That planet you were coming from before you were in Melanie,” he finally said“What was it like there? Was it like here?” The direction of his thoughts caught me off guardWith only Jamie here, it felt right to speak normally instead of whispering“No, it was very different “Will you tell me what it was like?” he asked, cocking his head to one side the way he used to when he was really interested in one of Melanie's bedtime stories I told him all about the See Weeds' waterlogged planetI told him about the two suns, the elliptical orbit, the gray waters, the unmoving permanence of roots, the stunning vistas of a thousand eyes, the endless conversations of a million soundless voices that all could hear He listened with wide eyes and a fascinated smile “Is that the only other place?” he asked when I fell silent, trying to think of anything I'd missed “Are theSee Weeds”–he laughed once at the pun–“the only other aliens?” I laughed, tooNo more than I'm the only alien on this world So I told him about the Bats on the Singing World–how it was to live in musical blindness, how it was to flyI told him about the Mists Planet–how it felt to have thick white fur and four hearts to keep warm, how to give claw beasts a wide berth I started to tell him about the Planet of the Flowers, about the color and the light, but he interrupted me with a new question “What about the little green guys with the triangle heads and the big black eyes?

I gave him no encouragement yesterdayOn the contrary, I told him, I cannot recollect my exact words, but I am sure I told him that I would not listen to him, that it was very unpleasant to me in every respect, and that I begged him never to talk to me in that manner againI am sure I said as much as that and more; and I should have said still more, if I had been quite certain of his meaning anything seriously; but I did not like to be, I could not bear to be, imputing more than 273 Jane Austen might be intendedI thought it might all pass for nothing with him She could say no more; her breath was almost gone “Am I to understand,” said Sir Thomas, after a few moments’ silence, “that you mean to refuse MrCrawford?” “Yes, sir “Refuse him?” “Yes, sirCrawford! Upon what plea? For what reason?” “I—I cannot like him, sir, well enough to marry him “This is very strange!” said Sir Thomas, in a voice of calm displeasure “There is something in this which my comprehension does not reachHere is a young man wishing to pay his addresses to you, with everything to recommend him: not merely situation in life, fortune, and character, but with more than common agreeableness, with address and conversation pleasing to everybodyAnd he is not an acquaintance of to-day; you have now known him some time His sister, moreover, is your intimate friend, and he has been doing that for your brother, which I should suppose would have been almost sufficient recommendation to you, had there been no otherIt is very uncertain when my interest might have got William onHe has done it already “Yes,” said Fanny, in a faint voice, and looking down with fresh shame; and she did feel almost ashamed of herself, after such a picture as her uncle had drawn, for not liking Mr “You must have been aware,” continued Sir Thomas presently, “you must have been some time aware of a particularity in Mr Crawford’s manners to youThis cannot have taken you by surprise You must have observed his attentions; and though you always received them very properly (I have no accusation to make on that head), I never perceived them to be unpleasant to youI am half inclined to think, Fanny, that you do not quite know your own feelings “Oh yes, sir! indeed I d | | Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010 | | 10:08 pm |
