11:55 am	@@@@@ 70 Mansfield Park Fanny’s gratitude, when @@@@@ 70 Mansfield Park Fanny’s gratitude, when she heard the plan, was, in fact, much greater than her pleasureShe felt Edmund’s kindness with all, and more than all, the sensibility which he, unsuspicious of her fond attachment, could be aware of; but that he should forego any enjoyment on her account gave her pain, and her own satisfaction in seeing Sotherton would be nothing without him The next meeting of the two Mansfield families produced another alteration in the plan, and one that was admitted with general approbationGrant offered herself as companion for the day to Lady Bertram in lieu of her son, and DrGrant was to join them at dinner Lady Bertram was very well pleased to have it so, and the young ladies were in spirits againEven Edmund was very thankful for an arrangement which restored him to his share of the party; and MrsNorris thought it an excellent plan, and had it at her tongue’s end, and was on the point of proposing it, when Mrs Wednesday was fine, and soon after breakfast the barouche arrived, MrCrawford driving his sisters; and as everybody was ready, there was nothing to be done but for MrsGrant to alight and the others to take their placesThe place of all places, the envied seat, the post of honour, was unappropriatedTo whose happy lot was it to fall? While each of the Miss Bertrams were meditating how best, and with the most appearance of obliging the others, to secure it, the matter was settled by MrsGrant’s saying, as she stepped from the carriage, “As there are five of you, it will be better that one should sit with Henry; and as you were saying lately that you wished you could drive, Julia, I think this will be a good opportunity for you to take a lesson Happy Julia! Unhappy Maria! The former was on the barouchebox in a moment, the latter took her seat within, in gloom and mortification; and the carriage drove off amid the good wishes of the two remaining ladies, and the barking of Pug in his mistress’s arms Their road was through a pleasant country; and Fanny, whose rides had never been extensive, was soon beyond her knowledge, and was very happy in observing all that was new, and admiring all that was prettyShe was not often invited to join in the conversation of the others, nor did she desire itHer own thoughts and 71 Jane Austen reflections were habitually her best companions; and, in observing the appearance of the country, the bearings of the roads, the difference of soil, the state of the harvest, the cottages, the cattle, the children, she found entertainment that could only have been heightened by having Edmund to speak to of what she feltThat was the only point of resemblance between her and the lady who sat by her: in everything but a value for Edmund, Miss Crawford was very unlike herShe had none of Fanny’s delicacy of taste, of mind, of feeling; she saw Nature, inanimate Nature, with little observation; her attention was all for men and women, her talents for the light and livelyIn looking back after Edmund, however, when there was any stretch of road behind them, or when he gained on them in ascending a considerable hill, they were united, and a “there he is” broke at the same moment from them both, more than once For the first seven miles Miss Bertram had very little real comfort: her prospect always ended in MrCrawford and her sister sitting side by side, full of conversation and merriment; and to see only his expressive profile as he turned with a smile to Julia, or to catch the laugh of the other, was a perpetual source of irritation, which her own sense of propriety could but just smooth overWhen Julia looked back, it was with a countenance of delight, and whenever she spoke to them, it was in the highest spirits: “her view of the country was charming, she wished they could all see it,” etc but her only offer of exchange was addressed to Miss Crawford, as they gained the summit of a long hill, and was not more inviting than this: “Here is a fine burst of coun (Comment on this)

11:56 am	@@@@@He had immediately diverted a thousand men @@@@@He had immediately diverted a thousand men to building a roadThey started on an improved trail which the Japanese had used for motor transport from the airfield to the beach, and the division engineers widened it, sodding the top surface with gravel from the beachBut beyond the airfield the trails were rudimentary, and after the first week still another thousand men were assigned to the road It took them three days to build each mile, and the front troops drew constantly aheadBy the end of three weeks the division task force had moved fifteen miles up the peninsula and the road reached only halfway to themAlong the rest of the route, supplies were carried up by pack trains, and almost a thousand more men were occupied with that The campaign progressed uneventfully from day to day, no longer being mentioned in news broadcastsThe division's casualties were light, and the front had finally achieved some formThe General watched the constant activity of men and trucks out of all the bivouacs in the jungle adjacent to the beach, and contented himself temporarily with cleaning out the Japanese who were left in the rear, with building the road, and with moving his front forward at an easy and calculated rateHe knew that in a week or two, at most a month, the actual campaign would begin 2 TO THE REPLACEMENTS, everything was new and they were miserableThey seemed to be wet all the time, and no matter how they set up their pup tents, they would always blow down during the nightThey could find no way to anchor their short tent pins in the sandWhen the rain started they could discover no alternative to drawing up their feet and hoping their blankets would not become drenched againIn the middle of the night they would be awakened for guard, and would stumble through the moonlight to sit numbly in a wet sandy hole, starting at every sound There were three hundred of them and they all felt a little patheticEverything was strangeSomehow they had not expected to do labor details in a combat zone, and they were bewildered by the contrast between the activity of the day when trucks and landing craft were constantly in motion and the quiet of evening when everything was so peacefulThen it was cooler, and out across the water the sunset was usually beautifulMen would be smoking their last cigarettes before dark or writing letters or attempting to secure their tents with a piece of driftwoodThe sounds of battle were muted at night and the distant crackling of small-arms fire, the remote echoes of fthe artillery seemed detached from themIt was a confusing period, and most of them were pleased when they were assigned to their companies But Croft was notHe had been hoping against his better judgment that recon would be given the eight replacements they needed, and to his disgust they had been assigned only fourIt was the culmination of a series of frustrations for him since the platoon had landed on Anopope (Comment on this)

11:55 am	@@@@@It was designed only to express his @@@@@It was designed only to express his participation in all that interested her, and to tell her that he had been hearing what quickened every feeling of affectionHe was, in fact, entirely on his father’s side of the questionHis surprise was not so great as his father’s at her refusing Crawford, because, so far from supposing her to consider him with anything like a preference, he had always believed it to be rather the reverse, and could imagine her to be taken perfectly unprepared, but Sir Thomas could not regard the connexion as more desirable than he didIt had every recommendation to him; and while honouring her for what she had done under the influence of her present indifference, honouring her in rather stronger terms than Sir Thomas could quite echo, he was most earnest in hoping, and sanguine in believing, that it would be a match at last, and that, united by mutual affection, it would appear that their dispositions were as exactly fitted to make them blessed in each other, as he was now beginning seriously to consider them Crawford had been too precipitateHe had not given her time to attach herselfHe had begun at the wrong endWith such powers as his, however, and such a disposition as hers, Edmund trusted that everything would work out a happy conclusionMeanwhile, he saw enough of Fanny’s embarrassment to make him scrupulously guard against exciting it a second time, by any word, or look, or movement Crawford called the next day, and on the score of Edmund’s return, Sir Thomas felt himself more than licensed to ask him to stay dinner; it was really a necessary complimentHe staid of course, and Edmund had then ample opportunity for observing how he sped with Fanny, and what degree of immediate encouragement for him might be extracted from her manners; and it was so little, so 291 Jane Austen very, very little—every chance, every possibility of it, resting upon her embarrassment only; if there was not hope in her confusion, there was hope in nothing else—that he was almost ready to wonder at his friend’s perseveranceFanny was worth it all; he held her to be worth every effort of patience, every exertion of mind, but he did not think he could have gone on himself with any woman breathing, without something more to warm his courage than his eyes could discern in hersHe was very willing to hope that Crawford saw clearer, and this was the most comfortable conclusion for his friend that he could come to from all that he observed to pass before, and at, and after dinner In the evening a few circumstances occurred which he thought more promisingWhen he and Crawford walked into the drawingroom, his mother and Fanny were sitting as intently and silently at work as if there were nothing else to care forEdmund could not help noticing their apparently deep tranquillity “We have not been so silent all the time,” replied his mother “Fanny has been reading to me, and only put the book down upon hearing you coming And sure enough there was a book on the table which had the air of being very recently closed: a volume of Shakespeare“She often reads to me out of those books; and she was in the middle of a very fine speech of that man’s—what’s his name, Fanny?—when we heard your footsteps Crawford took the volume“Let me have the pleasure of finishing that speech to your ladyship,” said he“I shall find it immediately And by carefully giving way to the inclination of the leaves, he did find it, or within a page or two, quite near enough to satisfy Lady Bertram, who assured him, as soon as he mentioned the name of Cardinal Wolsey, that he had got the very speechNot a look or an offer of help had Fanny given; not a syllable for or against (Comment on this)
