Henry Crawford

It seems I am to describe myself. I am Henry Crawford. You may know me to be the most infamous wicked flirt. After many attempts at persuasion, I have given in and joined tumblr. Do leave me some questions, for I do love the company of others.

MANSFIELD PARTY!

I do apologize for my terrible neglect to you all. As Mary has told you, I was called off on business in London, but I have returned and am looking forward to finally share my surprise with you all.

Thanks to Miss Marianne, I have set up a plan to set off camping for a night. It is an American invention that Marianne and I discussed right before Christmas. It will be very cold, but we will build a fire. If you are up for the adventure, we shall be setting out tomorrow evening. Do let me know friends.

Henry, I do hope that your business with our uncle is almost settled? For we have neglected our guests for entirely too long! I do not know how they could ever forgive us! Oh! I have almost forgotten! I have just finished with all of the planning for our upcoming events. I do hope you make it in time to join us all, for Kitty will be leaving us quite soon.

It is quite settled, Mary. I am on my way home as I write. Yes, we have most certainly been very poor hosts, I believe. I am glad that our guests are such great and understanding friends.

Yes, we will start our activities tomorrow, for it seems that the Miss Dashwoods will be leaving us soon as well. What shall we do without the company of our dear friends? Perhaps we shall head back to London? And how is Willoughby? I have not heard anything from him in a while.

askkittybennet asked

Mr. Crawford, thank you very much for my gift. I do like the bonnet, and the ribbons, very much. I do hope you like the little hunting knife I found for you!

I am glad. For I do remember you saying pink was your favorite color and I do like the color on you very much.

Yes, I do like the knife very much. It will be very useful to me when i go out on my hunting excursions.

askmariannedashwood asked

Henry, I am sorry to say that Elinor and I will be returning home shorting. We have vastly enjoyed your company, and I am very happy to have become such strong friends with both you and Mary. I hope to see you all soon, but Elinor and I desperately need to see our Mama and our Captain Margaret. Thank you for taking us into Mansfield! --Marianne

This is very sad news to return to indeed! I do hope you do not leave before tomorrow evening! For I have had an idea, inspired by you, and we will be starting the activities tomorrow. Though, if you are determined to leave sooner, we can always plan it for another time. I do understand how much you must miss your mother and younger sister.

askmariannedashwood asked

Henry, you are a kind soul, I must say! Did you and your sister somehow read my mind, discovering exactly what I most wanted for Christmas? I thought I looked absolutely splendid at dinner tonight in my gown, and I believe it will keep for years. And the saddle, I'm sure, will receive more than its fair share of use, if you'll teach me! I'm afraid I'll be quite clumsy, but I shall try very hard to be a good riding pupil! What say we go out tomorrow?

Mind reading is one of my special talents. Did not you know this?

Yes, you looked quite stunning in your gown, Marianne. Mary does have a keen eye for these sorts of things. As for the saddle, my dear, I will be glad to help you put it to use. Tomorrow sounds like a perfect time to go riding and do not worry, I shall help you out of your clumsiness. You will be quite a proficient by the time I am done with you.

askkittybennet asked

Mr. Crawford, I do regret to say that I shall be leaving Mansfield in the morning, and returning to Longbourn. I do thank you for your company on my walks, but I must go. I do hope to see you again soon. ~Kitty

I am sorry that you have to go, Kitty. I have enjoyed the talks we had had while walking the grounds. I shall miss your company very much. I hope that it will not be a long separation and that we will meet again, very soon.

Henry! Merry Christmas, dear friend! Do you like the hunting boots I bought for you? I thought I saw in your old pair a hole, so I thought it fitting to buy you a pair not so obsolete. I found them in a catalog, and apparently they are all the rage in Prussia! Even the Czar is buying new hunting boots!

Merry Christmas, dear Marianne! I do love the boots indeed! There was a hole in my old pair, for I had not bought a new pair in quite a long time. I shall have to go out in them soon. Perhaps you would like to join me? I know how fond you are of the outdoors. Is the Czar buying new boots? Well, I am nothing if not a man of worldly fashion.

How do you like your new saddle? I know Mary got you one as a wedding gift but that was for side saddle and this is to help with your wanting to lear to ride either Western or English style. I shall take you out learning as soon as you are ready.

I see Mary has urged you to wear your new gown tonight. I quite agree. I believe you will look quite stunning in the dress. I am looking quite forward to dinner tonight.

askkittybennet asked

Mr. Crawford, I do wonder if you might join me for a walk this evening? I do wish to see more of the area.

I apologize for only seeing your note now, Miss Kitty. I would love to show you around some more.

askelinordashwood asked

Dear Mr. Crawford, It has been too long since we last spoke! How was the hunt last night? Mary informs me she has was exhausted from participating in the sport. Though I see your party did not come back empty-handed! Are we to have venison for dinner? But how have you been preoccupied of late? I have missed your conversations! Yours, Elinor.

The hunting went very well indeed. It was very amusing at first to see your sister hold a gun, but she got on rather quickly. I think she will soon surpass my skills.

Yes, we got a deer, I will let our cook know and we will have it for dinner. If that is okay with our party?

I have been well. I am glad to be back at Mansfield and taking a break from business. I hope you are well? And your family at Barton Cottage?
