The room was familiarI'd been in only one @@@@@ The room was familiarI'd been in only one place like this, but Melanie's childhood was full of such memoriesThe short row of double cabinets, the sink where the Healer was washing her hands, the bright, clean white walls… “First things first,” Knits Fire said cheerfullyShe pulled a cabinet openI tried to focus my eyes, knowing this was importantThe cabinet was full of rows and rows of stacked white cylindersShe took one down, reaching for it without searching; she knew what she wanted The small container had a label, but I couldn't read it“A little no pain should help, don't you think?” I saw the label again as she twisted the lid offo Pain? Was that what it said? “Open your mouth, Glass SpiresShe took a small, thin square–it looked like tissue paper–and laid it on my tongueIt dissolved at onceI swallowed automatically “Better?” the Healer askedMy my head was clear–I could concentrate without difficultyThe pain had melted away with the tiny square “I know you feel fine now, but please don't moveYour injuries are not treated yet “Cerulean, could you get us some water? Her mouth seems dry “At once, Healer Knits The older woman left the room The Healer turned back to her cabinets, opening a different one this timeThis, too, was filled with white containers She pulled one from the top of a stack, then took another from the other side Almost as if she were trying to help me fulfill my mission, she listed the names as she reached for them | | 8:51 am |

Was not that well done of me? He @@@@@ Was not that well done of me? He brightened up directly Now for my soliloquy 149 Jane Austen She began, and Fanny joined in with all the modest feeling which the idea of representing Edmund was so strongly calculated to inspire; but with looks and voice so truly feminine as to be no very good picture of a manWith such an Anhalt, however, Miss Crawford had courage enough; and they had got through half the scene, when a tap at the door brought a pause, and the entrance of Edmund, the next moment, suspended it all Surprise, consciousness, and pleasure appeared in each of the three on this unexpected meeting; and as Edmund was come on the very same business that had brought Miss Crawford, consciousness and pleasure were likely to be more than momentary in them He too had his book, and was seeking Fanny, to ask her to rehearse with him, and help him to prepare for the evening, without knowing Miss Crawford to be in the house; and great was the joy and animation of being thus thrown together, of comparing schemes, and sympathising in praise of Fanny’s kind offices She could not equal them in their warmthHer spirits sank under the glow of theirs, and she felt herself becoming too nearly nothing to both to have any comfort in having been sought by eitherThey must now rehearse togetherEdmund proposed, urged, entreated it, till the lady, not very unwilling at first, could refuse no longer, and Fanny was wanted only to prompt and observe themShe was invested, indeed, with the office of judge and critic, and earnestly desired to exercise it and tell them all their faults; but from doing so every feeling within her shrank—she could not, would not, dared not attempt it: had she been otherwise qualified for criticism, her conscience must have restrained her from venturing at disapprobation She believed herself to feel too much of it in the aggregate for honesty or safety in particularsTo prompt them must be enough for her; and it was sometimes more than enough; for she could not always pay attention to the bookIn watching them she forgot herself; and, agitated by the increasing spirit of Edmund’s manner, had once closed the page and turned away exactly as he wanted helpIt was imputed to very reasonable weariness, and she was thanked and pitied; but she deserved their pity more than she hoped they would ever surmiseAt last the scene was over, and Fanny forced herself to add her praise to the compliments each was giving the other; and 150 Mansfield Park when again alone and able to recall the whole, she was inclined to believe their performance would, indeed, have such nature and feeling in it as must ensure their credit, and make it a very suffering exhibition to herselfWhatever might be its effect, however, she must stand the brunt of it again that very day The first regular rehearsal of the three first acts was certainly to take place in the evening: MrsGrant and the Crawfords were engaged to return for that purpose as soon as they could after dinner; and every one concerned was looking forward with eagernessThere seemed a general diffusion of cheerfulness on the occasionTom was enjoying such an advance towards the end; Edmund was in spirits from the morning’s rehearsal, and little vexations seemed everywhere smoothed awayAll were alert and impatient; the ladies moved soon, the gentlemen soon followed them, and with the exception of Lady Bertram, MrsNorris, and Julia, everybody was in the theatre at an early hour; and having lighted it up as well as its unfinished state admitted, were waiting only the arrival of MrsGrant and the Crawfords to begin They did not wait long for the Crawfords, but there was no | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 12:44 pm |

Do you think Henry will claim the necklace as mine, and fancy you did not come honestly by it? or are you imagining he would be too much flattered by seeing round your lovely throat an ornament which his money purchased three years ago, before he knew there was such a throat in the world? or perhaps”—looking archly—”you suspect a confederacy between us, and that what I am now doing is with his knowledge and at his desire?” With the deepest blushes Fanny protested against such a thought “Well, then,” replied Miss Crawford more seriously, but without at all believing her, “to convince me that you suspect no trick, and are as unsuspicious of compliment as I have always found you, take the necklace and say no more about itIts being a gift of my brother’s need not make the smallest difference in your accepting it, as I assure you it makes none in my willingness to part with itHe is always giving me something or otherI have such innumerable presents from him that it is quite impossible for me to value or for him to remember halfAnd as for this necklace, I do not suppose I have worn it six times: it is very pretty, but I never think of it; and though you would be most heartily welcome to any other in my trinket225 Jane Austen box, you have happened to fix on the very one which, if I have a choice, I would rather part with and see in your possession than any otherSay no more against it, I entreat youSuch a trifle is not worth half so many words Fanny dared not make any farther opposition; and with renewed but less happy thanks accepted the necklace again, for there was an expression in Miss Crawford’s eyes which she could not be satisfied with It was impossible for her to be insensible of MrCrawford’s change of mannersHe evidently tried to please her: he was gallant, he was attentive, he was something like what he had been to her cousins: he wanted, she supposed, to cheat her of her tranquillity as he had cheated them; and whether he might not have some concern in this necklace—she could not be convinced that he had not, for Miss Crawford, complaisant as a sister, was careless as a woman and a friend Reflecting and doubting, and feeling that the possession of what she had so much wished for did not bring much satisfaction, she now walked home again, with a change rather than a diminution of cares since her treading that path be | | Monday, December 27th, 2010 | | 12:46 pm |
