Summary
On The Literary Life Podcast this week, Angelina, Cindy and Thomas are back to discuss the next several chapters of Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. They pick back up with the continuation of the Cinderella theme in these chapters, and much of the conversation centers around the Crawfords and their ambitions and schemes. Once again, Fanny is demonstrated to be the embodiment of temperance.

Commonplace Quotes:
Lewis learnt that focusing on the state of his own mind was precisely the wrong way to obtain the imaginative pleasures that he had been seeking for ten years and more.
Michael Ward
Through seas of knowledge we our course advance,
Sir John Denham, "The Progress of Learning"
Discov'ring still new worlds of ignorance;
And these discov'ries make us all confess
That sublunary science is but guess;
Matters of fact to man are only known,
And what seems more is mere opinion;
The standers-by see clearly this event;
All parties say they're sure, yet all dissent;
With their new light our bold inspectors press,
Like Ham, to show their fathers' nakedness,
By who example after ages may
Discover we more naked are than they.
The Inklings is now really very well provided, with Fox as chaplain, you as army, Barfield as lawyer, Havard as doctor–almost all the estates, except of course, anyone who could actually produce a single necessity of life: a loaf, a boot, or a hut.
C. S. Lewis
Sly Thoughts
by Coventry Patmore
"I saw him kiss your cheek!"—"T'is true."
"O Modesty!"—"'T was strictly kept:
He thought me asleep; at least, I knew
He thought I thought he thought I slept."
