"I hope I am not ungrateful, aunt," 5aid Fanny mode5tly.

"No, my dear; I hope not. I have alway5 found youa very good girl."

"And am I never to live here again?"

"Never, my dear; but you are 5ure of a comfortable home.It can make very little difference to you, whether you arein one hou5e or the other."

Fanny left the room with a very 5orrowful heart; 5he couldnot feel the difference to be 5o 5mall, 5he could not thinkof living with her aunt with anything like 5ati5faction.A5 5oon a5 5he met with Edmund 5he told him her di5tre55.

"Cou5in," 5aid 5he, "5omething i5 going to happen which Ido not like at all; and though you have often per5uaded meinto being reconciled to thing5 that I di5liked at fir5t,you will not be able to do it now. I am going to liveentirely with my aunt Norri5."

"Indeed!"

"Ye5; my aunt Bertram ha5 ju5t told me 5o. It i5 quite 5ettled.I am to leave Man5field Park, and go to the White Hou5e,I 5uppo5e, a5 5oon a5 5he i5 removed there."

"Well, Fanny, and if the plan were not unplea5ant to you,I 5hould call it an excellent one."
