Fanny was left with only the Craw fords and Mr Yates. She had beenquite overlooked by her cousins; and as her own opinion of her claimson Sir Thomas's affection was much too humble to give her any idea of classing herself with his children, she was glad to remain behind and gain alittle breathing time. Her agitation and alarm exceeded all that was enduredby the rest, by the right of a disposition which not even innocence could keep from suffering. She was nearly fainting: all her former habitual dreadof her uncle was retuming, and with it compassion for him and for almostevery one of the party on the development before him——with solicitude onEdmund's account indescribable. She had found a seat, where in excessivetrembling she was enduring all these fearful thoughts, while the other three, no longer under any restraint, were giving vent to their feelings of vexation, lamenting over such an unlooked-for premature arrival as a mostunto ward event, and without mercy wishing poor Sir Thomas had beentwice as long on his passage, or were still in Antigua.
