The hire of a cart at any time might not be so easy as you suppose; our farmers are not in the habit of letting them out; but in harvest, it must be quite out of their power to spare a horse." I shall understand all your ways in time; but coming down with the true London maxim, that everything is to be got with money, I was a little embarrassed at first by the sturdy independence of your country customs. However, I am to have my harp fetched to-morrow. Henry, who is good¬nature itself has offered to fetch it in his barouche. Will it not be honourably conveyed ?" Edmund spoke of the harp as his favourite instrument, and hoped to be soon allowed to hear her. Fanny had never heard the harp at all, and wished for it very much. I shall be most happy to play to you both," said Miss Crawford; 44 at least as long as you can like to listen; prob¬ably much longer, for I dearly love music myself, and where the natural taste is equal, the player must always be best off, for she is gratified in more ways than one. Now, Mr. Bertram, if you write to your brother, I entreat you to tell him that my harp is come, he heard so much of my misery without it. And you may say, if you please, that 1 shall prepare my most plaintive airs against his return, in compassion to his feelings, as I know his horse will lose." If I write, I will say whatever you wish me; but I do not at present foresee any occasion for writing." No, I dare say, nor if he were to be gone a twelve-month, would you ever write to him, nor he to you, if it could be helped, the occasion would never be foreseen. What strange creatures brothers are ! You would not write to each other but upon the most urgent necessity in the world; and when obliged to take up the pen to say that such a horse is ill, or such a relation dead, it is done in the fewest possible words. You have but one style among you. Yadoreen20120828
