Mansfield Park | Jane Austen
post image

Rehearsals are in full swing and stirring up jealousies like nobody's business! Henry is all over Maria, pissing off both Julia and Mr. Rushworth, and Edmund is falling for Mary more each day, which has Fanny straight-up vexed. She's also in her feelings about Mrs. Grant who took on Cottager's Wife is now loved by everyone while Fanny is increasingly ignored and isolated. But soon none of this will matter because uh-oh...Sir Thomas has returned!

Crinoline_Laphroaig I love that Lady B, who never notices anything, is the first to spill the beans. 15h

Edmund remains totally disapproving of the whole home am-dram concept, but when Tom suggests bringing in some rando to join the fun, he's absolutely aghast. The impropriety! Tom also tries to get Fanny to join in, but our girl's morals are iron-clad and she refuses. The same cannot be said for Edmund who decides that joining in himself would be the lesser of two evils and in a total weaksauce move, he tries to get Fanny to absolve him. Boy, bye.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Edmund acting like he's just doing it to save Mary Crawford's feelings which he just jealous. He's such a love struck fool 2d
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Exactly, and on top of it all, he gets to congratulate himself for "saving" her honor. Edmund is at his absolute worst here. ? 2d

"A few steps farther brought them out at the bottom of the very walk they had been talking of; and standing back, well shaded and sheltered, and looking over a ha-ha into the park, was a comfortable-sized bench, on which they all sat down"

As a gardener I love a good ha-ha mention. In June I hosted a Garden Club tour of my garden. My topic was In The Garden with Jane Austen and how it inspired me. Oh course I dressed the part. ?

Dilara That is commitment! I love your dress (also, if it's not too cheeky, I'd love to see pictures of your garden 😊 )
ETA: if I'd waited one more minute before asking for pictures, I would have seen your link 😅 😁

Oh my godddd, here we go! Suddenly the gang turns into the most cringe theatre kids ever. As a lifelong member of that circle, I can confirm that the level of drama we see here lives on in every high school theatre club, community theatre troupe, and, yes, some professional companies. We even still have stodgy killjoys like Edmund trying to kill the vibe, largely in the form of vile conservatives defunding the NEA (oops, did I say it out loud?).

willaful ROTFLMAO! 2d
Crinoline_Laphroaig How it's not acting, it's ACTING! 2d

CrowCAH @KadaGul I agree! It‘s a super cool radio station that plays Classical in the days and jazz at night. 3d

CrowCAH @Crinoline_Laphroaig you‘re welcome! ☺️ I think it‘s super cool how everyone (LEGO, the radio, etc) is getting in on the Jane Austen fever this year with the 250th celebration! 2d

Mary Crawford showing her true colors in today's chapters: she likes Edmund a lot but his job isn't nearly grand or important enough for her and she tries to persuade him out of taking orders, even though he thinks the role of the clergyman is an important one. They're at an impasse and she flies off to play harp, and then in a maddening display of weakness and male blindness, he proceeds to...sing her praises?! Edmund, she may be pretty, but no.

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm finally caught up! 3d
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Way to go! Getting behind on this one takes time to catch up on, as two chapters of Mansfield seem like a bigger commitment to me than our previous books. They seem more dense and I find myself re-reading frequently to try and capture some main themes or plot points; Jane really packed a ton in here! 3d
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 and some that I listened to, didn't stick so I listened again. 3d
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig That happens to me all the time! I do like audio books, but I don't process them as well as I do print. 3d

Everyone continues to be terrible! The gang visits Sotherton and:

-Julia sits with Henry and Maria is a pouty asshole about it
-Mary Crawford shoves her foot directly in her mouth by being pointedly bitchy about the clergy
-Henry flirts with (engaged) Maria all day like the manwhore he is
-Fanny's left on her own again and doesn't even get to see the avenue she came for?!

On the bright side (?), I learned about the window-tax (link in comments).

eeclayton Mrs Norris, however, is the model of politeness, and is TALKED INTO accepting some cream cheese. 5d
Andrea313 @eeclayton Oh, of course! Could never accuse her of "spunging"! 4d
Crinoline_Laphroaig No matter how many times I read I still can't believe how awful Mrs Norris is! 3d

Wonderland Yarns created an Always Austen quarterly shawl subscription box with knit or crochet patterns! And they included some bookish items as well.

Second quarter is in tribute to Pride and Prejudice! 🥰
