Manfield Park Chapter XLII

In which we accompany the Price family on a Sunday outing to chapel and the ramparts, where the natural beauty of the day offers Fanny a brief respite from her weariness, and Mr. Crawford reveals a considerate concern for her well-being amidst society’s arrangements. The evening draws in with Fanny’s spirits low and her reflections on newfound gentleness keep her mind engaged, contrasting the noisy household about her.
