Excerpt from Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park
Chapter 20 (1814)
Edmond Bertram talking of Fanny Price to Sir Thomas Bertram in regards to the ill-fated play production of Lover’s Vows.
"We have all been more or less to blame," said he, "every one of us, excepting Fanny. Fanny is the only one who has judged rightly throughout; who has been consistent. Her feelings have been steadily against it from first to last. She never ceased to think of what was due to you. You will find Fanny everything you could wish."
