6:07 am	@@@@@“It must do the heads of the family a great @@@@@“It must do the heads of the family a great deal of good to force all the poor housemaids and footmen to leave business and pleasure, and say their prayers here twice a day, while they are inventing excuses themselves for staying away “That is hardly Fanny’s idea of a family assembling,” said Edmund “If the master and mistress do not attend themselves, there must be more harm than good in the custom “At any rate, it is safer to leave people to their own devices on such subjectsEverybody likes to go their own way—to chuse their own time and manner of devotionThe obligation of attendance, the formality, the restraint, the length of time—altogether it is a formidable thing, and what nobody likes; and if the good people who used to kneel and gape in that gallery could have foreseen that the time would ever come when men and women might lie another ten 76 Mansfield Park minutes in bed, when they woke with a headache, without danger of reprobation, because chapel was missed, they would have jumped with joy and envyCannot you imagine with what unwilling feelings the former belles of the house of Rushworth did many a time repair to this chapel? The young MrsBridgets— starched up into seeming piety, but with heads full of something very different—especially if the poor chaplain were not worth looking at—and, in those days, I fancy parsons were very inferior even to what they are now For a few moments she was unansweredFanny coloured and looked at Edmund, but felt too angry for speech; and he needed a little recollection before he could say, “Your lively mind can hardly be serious even on serious subjectsYou have given us an amusing sketch, and human nature cannot say it was not soWe must all feel at times the difficulty of fixing our thoughts as we could wish; but if you are supposing it a frequent thing, that is to say, a weakness grown into a habit from neglect, what could be expected from the private devotions of such persons? Do you think the minds which are suffered, which are indulged in wanderings in a chapel, would be more collected in a closet?” “Yes, very likelyThey would have two chances at least in their favourThere would be less to distract the attention from without, and it would not be tried so long “The mind which does not struggle against itself under one circumstance, would find objects to distract it in the other, I believe; and the influence of the place and of example may often rouse better feelings than are begun withThe greater length of the service, however, I admit to be sometimes too hard a stretch upon the mind One wishes it were not so; but I have not yet left Oxford long enough to forget what chapel prayers are While this was passing, the rest of the party being scattered about the chapel, Julia called MrCrawford’s attention to her sister, by saying, “Do look at MrRushworth and Maria, standing side by side, exactly as if the ceremony were going to be performedHave not they completely the air of it?” MrCrawford smiled his acquiescence, and stepping forward to Maria, said, in a voice which she only could hear, “I do not like to 77 Jane Austen see Miss Bertram so near the altar Starting, the lady instinctively moved a step or two, but recovering herself in a moment, affected to laugh, and asked him, in a tone not much louder, “If he would give her away?” “I am afraid I should do it very awkwardly,” was his reply, with a look of meaning Julia, joining them at the moment, carried on the joke “Upon my word, it is really a pity that it should not take place directly, if we had but a proper licence, for here we are altogether, and nothing in the world could be more snug and pleasa (Comment on this)
