6:19 pm	@@@@@Rushworth will be very angryIt will be a @@@@@Rushworth will be very angryIt will be a bitter pill to her; that is, like other bitter pills, it will have two moments’ ill flavour, and then be swallowed and forgotten; for I am not such a coxcomb as to suppose her feelings more lasting than other women’s, though I was the object of themYes, Mary, my Fanny will feel a difference indeed: a daily, hourly difference, in the behaviour of every being who approaches her; and it will be the completion of my happiness to know that I am the doer of it, that I am the person to give the consequence so justly her dueNow she is dependent, helpless, friendless, neglected, forgotten “Nay, Henry, not by all; not forgotten by all; not friendless or forgottenHer cousin Edmund never forgets her “Edmund! True, I believe he is, generally speaking, kind to her, 259 Jane Austen and so is Sir Thomas in his way; but it is the way of a rich, superior, long-worded, arbitrary uncleWhat can Sir Thomas and Edmund together do, what do they do for her happiness, comfort, honour, and dignity in the world, to what I shall do?” 260 Mansfield Park CHAPTER XXXI HENRY CRAWFORD was at Mansfield Park again the next morning, and at an earlier hour than common visiting warrantsThe two ladies were together in the breakfast-room, and, fortunately for him, Lady Bertram was on the very point of quitting it as he enteredShe was almost at the door, and not chusing by any means to take so much trouble in vain, she still went on, after a civil reception, a short sentence about being waited for, and a “Let Sir Thomas know” to the servant Henry, overjoyed to have her go, bowed and watched her off, and without losing another moment, turned instantly to Fanny, and, taking out some letters, said, with a most animated look, “I must acknowledge myself infinitely obliged to any creature who gives me such an opportunity of seeing you alone: I have been wishing it more than you can have any ideaKnowing as I do what your feelings as a sister are, I could hardly have borne that any one in the house should share with you in the first knowledge of the news I now bringYour brother is a lieutenantI have the infinite satisfaction of congratulating you on your brother’s promotion Here are the letters which announce it, this moment come to handYou will, perhaps, like to see them Fanny could not speak, but he did not want her to speakTo see the expression of her eyes, the change of her complexion, the progress of her feelings, their doubt, confusion, and felicity, was enough She took the letters as he gave themThe first was from the Admiral to inform his nephew, in a few words, of his having succeeded in the object he had undertaken, the promotion of young Price, and enclosing two more, one from the Secretary of the First Lord to a friend, whom the Admiral had set to work in the business, the other from that friend to himself, by which it appeared that his lordship 261 Jane Austen had the very great happiness of attending to the recommendation of Sir Charles; that Sir Charles was much delighted in having such an opportunity of proving his regard for Admiral Crawford, and that the circumstance of MrWilliam Price’s commission as Second Lieutenant of HSloop Thrush being made out was spreading general joy through a wide circle of great people While her hand was trembling under these letters, her eye running from one to the other, and her heart swelling with emotion, Crawford thus continued, with unfeigned eagerness, to express his interest in the event— “I will not talk of my own happiness,” said he, “great as it is, for I think only of yoursCompared with you, who has a right to be happy?

5:52 pm	@@@@@He stood up heavily, and began to fit the @@@@@He stood up heavily, and began to fit the litter straps over his shouldersGoldstein hesitated, and then followed himWhen they were ready, they staggered out onto the flat shallow falls of the river and began moving downstream They did not think there was anything odd about moving this way with a dead manThey were too accustomed to picking him up at the end of each halt; the only thing they understood was that they must carry himEven more, neither of them really believed he was deadThey knew it but they did not believe itIf he had shouted for water they would not have been surprised They even talked about what they would do with himIn one of the breaks Ridges said, "When we git him back, we'll give him a Christian burial 'cause he repented And even so they talked without feeling the wordsGoldstein did not want to realize Wilson was dead; he held his mind away from the knowledge rigidly, thinking of nothing, merely sloshing forward through the shallow water upstream, his shoes sliding on the flat smooth rocksThere was something he could not face once he understood And Ridges was bewildered tooHe was not convinced Wilson had begged for forgiveness; it was all jumbled in his mind, and he fastened on the thought that if he could get Wilson back, get him buried decently, the conversion would takeAnd more, both of them felt a natural frustration with having carried him this far only to dieThey wanted to complete their odyssey with success Very slowly now, more slowly than they had moved at any time, they shambled through the water, the litter swaying between themOverhead the trees and foliage met; as before, the river wound a tunnel through the jungleTheir heads drooped, their legs moved stiffly as if afraid of collapsing if they were hinged at the kneeNow when they rested they would flop in the shallow water, leaving Wilson half submerged while they sprawled beside the litter They were almost unconsciousTheir feet blundered along the floor of the stream, crunching on the river pebblesThe water flowing past their heels was chill, but they hardly felt itIn the dim light of the jungle aisle they stumbled onward, following the current du (Comment on this)
