It can makfe very little difference

" Never, my dear; but you are sure of a comfortable home. It can makfe very little difference to you, whether you are in one house or the other." Fanny left the room with a very sorrowful heart: she could not feel the difference to be so small, she could not think of living with her aunt with anything like satisfaction. As soon as she met with Edmund, she told him her distress." Cousin," said she, " something is going to happen which I do not like at all; and though you have often persuaded me into being reconciled to things that I disliked at first, you will not be able to do it now. I am going to live entirely with my aunt Norris.""Indeed!"" Yes, my aunt Bertram has just told me so. It is quite settled. I am to leave Mansfield Park, and go to the White House, I suppose as soon as she is removed there." M Well, Fanny, and if the plan were not unpleasant to you, I should call it an excellent one."" Oh, cousin !" " It has everything else in its favour. My aunt is acting like a sensible woman in wishing for you. She is choosing a friend and companion exactly where she ought, and I am glad her love of money does not interfere. You will be what you ought to be to her. I hope it does not distress you very much, Fanny."" Indeed it does: I cannot like it I love this house anc everything in it: I shall love nothing there. You know how uncomfortable I feel with her." " I can say nothing for her manner to you as a child : but it was the same with us all, or nearly so. She never knew how to be pleasant to children. But you are now of an age to be treated better; I think she is behaving better already; and when you are her only companion, you must be impor¬tant to her."" I can never be important to any one." " What is to prevent you ?" Yadoreen20120825
