Doc was leaning forward with his face in @@@@@ Doc was leaning forward with his face in his hands“Do they remember how the host-parasite relationship was formed? How did the colonization begin?” Jamie looked at me, shrugging “We were always that way,” I answered slowly, still unwilling“As far back as we were intelligent enough to know ourselves, at leastWe were discovered by another species–the Vultures, we call them here, though more for their personalities than for their looksThen we discovered that we could bond with them just as we had with our original hostsOnce we controlled them, we made use of their technologyWe took their planet first, and then followed them to the Dragon Planet and the Summer World–lovely places where the Vultures had also not been kindWe started colonizing; our hosts reproduced so much slower than we did, and their life spans were shortWe began exploring farther into the universe” I trailed off, conscious of the many eyes on my faceOnly Sharon continued to look away “You speak of it almost as if you were there,” Ian noted quietly“How long ago did this happen?” “After dinosaurs lived here but before you didI was not there, but I remember some of what my mother's mother's mother remembered of it “How old areyou? ” Ian asked, leaning toward me, his brilliant blue eyes penetrating “I don't know in Earth years “An estimate?” he pressed “Thousands of years, maybe“I lose track of the years spent in hibernation Ian leaned back, stunned “Wow, that's old,” Jamie breathed “But in a very real sense, I'm younger than you,” I murmured to himI feel like a child all the time Jamie's lips pulled up slightly at the corn | | 10:44 am |

@@@@@By degrees the girls came to spend the chief @@@@@By degrees the girls came to spend the chief of the morning upstairs, at first only in working and talking, but after a few days, the remembrance of the said books grew so potent and stimulative that Fanny found it impossible not to try for books again There were none in her father’s house; but wealth is luxurious and daring, and some of hers found its way to a circulating libraryShe became a subscriber; amazed at being anything in propria persona, amazed at her own doings in every way, to be a renter, a chuser of books! And to be having any one’s improvement in view in her choice! But so it wasSusan had read nothing, and Fanny longed to give her 348 Mansfield Park a share in her own first pleasures, and inspire a taste for the biography and poetry which she delighted in herself In this occupation she hoped, moreover, to bury some of the recollections of Mansfield, which were too apt to seize her mind if her fingers only were busy; and, especially at this time, hoped it might be useful in diverting her thoughts from pursuing Edmund to London, whither, on the authority of her aunt’s last letter, she knew he was goneShe had no doubt of what would ensueThe promised notification was hanging over her headThe postman’s knock within the neighbourhood was beginning to bring its daily terrors, and if reading could banish the idea for even half an hour, it was something gained 349 Jane Austen CHAPTER XLI A WEEK WAS GONE since Edmund might be supposed in town, and Fanny had heard nothing of himThere were three different conclusions to be drawn from his silence, between which her mind was in fluctuation; each of them at times being held the most probable Either his going had been again delayed, or he had yet procured no opportunity of seeing Miss Crawford alone, or he was too happy for letter-writing! One morning, about this time, Fanny having now been nearly four weeks from Mansfield, a point which she never failed to think over and calculate every day, as she and Susan were preparing to remove, as usual, upstairs, they were stopped by the knock of a visitor, whom they felt they could not avoid, from Rebecca’s alertness in going to the door, a duty which always interested her beyond any other It was a gentleman’s voice; it was a voice that Fanny was just turning pale about, when MrCrawford walked into the room Good sense, like hers, will always act when really called upon; and she found that she had been able to name him to her mother, and recall her remembrance of the name, as that of “William’s friend,” though she could not previously have believed herself capable of uttering a syllable at such a momentThe consciousness of his being known there only as William’s friend was some supportHaving introduced him, however, and being all reseated, the terrors that occurred of what this visit might lead to were overpowering, and she fancied herself on the point of fainting away While trying to keep herself alive, their visitor, who had at first approached her with as animated a countenance as ever, was wisely and kindly keeping his eyes away, and giving her time to recover, while he devoted himself entirely to her mother, addressing her, and attending to her with the utmost politeness and propriety, at the 350 Mansfield Park same time with a degree of friendliness, of interest at least, which was making his manner perfectPrice’s manners were also at their bestWarmed by the sight of such a friend to her son, and regulated by the wish of appearing to advantage before him, she was overflowing with gratitude—artless, maternal gratitude—which could not be unpleasingPrice was out, which she regretted very muchFanny was just recovered enough to feel that she could not regret it; for to her many other sources of uneasiness was added the severe one of shame for the home in which he found herShe might scold herself for the weakness, but there was no scolding it awayShe was ashamed, and she would have been yet more ashamed of her father than of all the rest They talked of William, a subject on which MrsPrice could never tire; and M | | 10:51 am |

If the loss of his laughing father and wild big brothers had iced him over the way nothing but Melanie's loss had? Of course would love Jared in any formEven like this, he belongs with me I wondered if the same held true for meWould I love him now if he were like this in her memory?

Edmund had greatly the advantage of her in @@@@@ Edmund had greatly the advantage of her in this respectHe had not to wait and wish with vacant affections for an object worthy to succeed her in themScarcely had he done regretting Mary Crawford, and observing to Fanny how impossible it was that he should ever 411 Jane Austen meet with such another woman, before it began to strike him whether a very different kind of woman might not do just as well, or a great deal better: whether Fanny herself were not growing as dear, as important to him in all her smiles and all her ways, as Mary Crawford had ever been; and whether it might not be a possible, an hopeful undertaking to persuade her that her warm and sisterly regard for him would be foundation enough for wedded love I purposely abstain from dates on this occasion, that every one may be at liberty to fix their own, aware that the cure of unconquerable passions, and the transfer of unchanging attachments, must vary much as to time in different peopleI only entreat everybody to believe that exactly at the time when it was quite natural that it should be so, and not a week earlier, Edmund did cease to care about Miss Crawford, and became as anxious to marry Fanny as Fanny herself could desire With such a regard for her, indeed, as his had long been, a regard founded on the most endearing claims of innocence and helplessness, and completed by every recommendation of growing worth, what could be more natural than the change? Loving, guiding, protecting her, as he had been doing ever since her being ten years old, her mind in so great a degree formed by his care, and her comfort depending on his kindness, an object to him of such close and peculiar interest, dearer by all his own importance with her than any one else at Mansfield, what was there now to add, but that he should learn to prefer soft light eyes to sparkling dark onesAnd being always with her, and always talking confidentially, and his feelings exactly in that favourable state which a recent disappointment gives, those soft light eyes could not be very long in obtaining the preeminence Having once set out, and felt that he had done so on this road to happiness, there was nothing on the side of prudence to stop him or make his progress slow; no doubts of her deserving, no fears of opposition of taste, no need of drawing new hopes of happiness from dissimilarity of temperHer mind, disposition, opinions, and habits wanted no half-concealment, no self-deception on the present, no reliance on future improvementEven in the midst of his late infatuation, he had acknowledged Fanny’s mental superiorityWhat 412 Mansfield Park must be his sense of it now, therefore? She was of course only too good for him; but as nobody minds having what is too good for them, he was very steadily earnest in the pursuit of the blessing, and it was not possible that encouragement from her should be long wantingTimid, anxious, doubting as she was, it was still impossible that such tenderness as hers should not, at times, hold out the strongest hope of success, though it remained for a later period to tell him the whole delightful and astonishing truthHis happiness in knowing himself to have been so long the beloved of such a heart, must have been great enough to warrant any strength of language in which he could clothe it to her or to himself; it must have been a delightful happinessBut there was happiness elsewhere which no description can reachLet no one presume to give the feelings of a young woman on receiving the assurance of that affection of which she has scarcely allowed herself to entertain a hope Their own inclinations ascertained, there were no difficulties behind, no drawback of poverty or parentIt was a match which Sir Thomas’s wishes had even forestalledSick of ambitious and mercenary connexions, prizing more and more the sterling good of principle and temper, and chiefly anxious to bind by the strongest securities all that remained to him of domestic felicity, he had pondered with genuine satisfaction on the more than possibility of the two young friends finding their natural consolation in each other for all that had occurred of disappointment to either; and the joyful consent which met Edmund’s application, the high sense of having realised a great acquisition in the promise of Fanny for a daughter, formed just such a contrast with his early opinion on the subject when the poor little girl’s coming had been first agitated, as time is for ever producing between the plans and decisions of mortals, for their own instruction, and their neighbours’ entertainment Fanny was indeed the daughter that he wantedHis charitable kindness had been rearing a prime comfort for himselfHis liberality had a rich repayment, and the general goodness of his intentions by her deserved itHe might have made her childhood happier; but it had been an error of judgment only which had given him the appearance of harshness, and deprived him of her early love; and now, on really knowing each other, their mutual attachment be413 Jane Austen came very strongAfter settling her at Thornton Lacey with every kind attention to her comfort, the object of almost every day was to see her there, or to get her away from it Selfishly dear as she had long been to Lady Bertram, she could not be parted with willingly by herNo happiness of son or niece could make her wish the marriag | | Sunday, December 26th, 2010 | | 12:38 pm |
