Mansfield Park by Jane Austen (Chapters 33-40)

Sir Thomas and Henry went on believing that Fanny would think better of about Henry’s offer. However, Fanny made it clear to Henry that her feelings to him would not change. After some time, Edmund came back and was informed of Henry’s offer to Fanny to marry him. He was amazed that Fanny had refused him. Sir Thomas asked Edmund to convince Fanny to marry Henry. Edmund gained her confidence saying that they both didn’t marry without love. Nevertheless, he told Fanny that she would be a great model of a woman. Fanny claimed that she and Henry were quite different. Then, Mary came at Mansfield and wanted to talk with Fanny. She told her that many women would envy her because of Henry. Moreover, Mary said to Fanny that Henry could help in strengthening the promotion of William. After some time, Sit Thomas wanted Fanny to come back to her family in Portsmouth in order to teach her to value income. Fanny was happy to be again with people who cherished her. So she left for Portsmouth with William. However, Fanny found her parents different. Her father drank and her mother didn’t care about the education of her children. Their house was very comfortless. Fanny was looking forward to receiving letters from Mary Crawford because in Portsmouth Fanny met no one who were not rustic.
