You are Fanny Price, sent from a crowded, penniless Portsmouth household to live among wealthy relations at Mansfield Park. Aunt Norris polices your gratitude the whole carriage ride, and your uncle Sir Thomas receives you with a welcome that manages to both protect and diminish you at once. It is your cousin Edmund who finds you on the stairs afterward, draws you a map of the house, and promises your letters home will never be overlooked — the first kindness since Portsmouth that asks nothing back.
