Documents with Different Content
"Do you really think it's good?" Fanny turned about so as to face her
sister. "I'll tell you something, Susan. I just had to write it. I couldn't
help doing it, no matter how hard I tried."

"It's wonderful," continued the admiring Susan.

"But you mustn't tell. You must never tell," besought Fanny. "I'd be
so ashamed of myself, and just think what father might have to say
to me about it!" She swung about to the desk and rested her head in
her hands as though to contemplate the overwhelming things Dr.
Burney might be called upon to say should he discover her offense.
Then impulsively she stretched out her hands and clasped the
manuscript. "Oh, I love it, I love every line I've written there."

Some one else had been climbing the flight of stairs to the third
story, and now came into the room. It was Mrs. Burney, the
stepmother of Fanny and Susan. She went over to the desk and
looked at the pile of written sheets before Fanny could turn them
over or hide them in the drawer. "So this is what you've been about,
is it?" said she, not unkindly, but rather in an amused tone. "I've
wondered where you went when you stole away from the rest of the
family every afternoon. Your father said you wanted to study, but I
told him I didn't approve of young ladies creeping out of sight to
pore over books. So you've been writing a story surreptitiously? Take
my word for it, Fanny, writing books has gone out of fashion."

"I know it," said Fanny, "but I couldn't help it. I'd much rather do
this than practice on the harpsichord."

"But music is a polite accomplishment, my dear, whereas scribbling

is quite the reverse."

"Fanny's isn't scribbling," protested Susan. "It's wonderful. It really

is, mother. It's as good as anything down-stairs in father's library. Let
her read some of it to you."
"No, thank you, Susan. I can understand some parents letting their
children run wild and become novel-writers, but not Dr. Burney. You
must remember you have a position in society to think about, my
dears."

"I know," agreed Fanny guiltily.

"What would the world say," continued Mrs. Burney, "if it should
learn that Dr. Burney's daughter Frances had composed a novel!"

"Father writes books," suggested Susan.

"Yes, but on the subject of music. It's quite another thing to

compose a treatise showing learning. Fanny's writings, if I mistake
not, are merely idle inventions, the stories of events that never
happened to people who never lived."

"Yes, they are," agreed the ashamed Fanny. "I make them up out of
my head as I go along."

"But they're quite as interesting as the things that do happen to real

people," argued the devoted Susan. "More interesting, I think. I
don't know any real person who interests me as much as Caroline in
Fanny's story."

Mrs. Burney smiled. She had no wish to be harsh, but she had very
decided ideas as to what was and what was not proper for young
ladies to do. She was a bustling, sociable person, and she
considered that Fanny was altogether too shy and reserved. She
wanted to make her more like her other sisters, Esther and
Charlotte, both of whom were very popular with the many visitors
who came to see the celebrated Dr. Burney.

"It's for your own good," she said finally. "I shan't tell your father,
but I know he wouldn't approve of your spending your time in this
way."
"I know," said Fanny slowly. "I know what people think of a young
woman who writes. I oughtn't to do it, but the temptation was too
strong for me. I'll give it up, mother, and not steal off here by
myself. I'll try to be more the way you and father want me."

"That's the right spirit, Fanny. You know we're all very proud of you
anyway." Stooping down Mrs. Burney kissed her stepdaughter, and
then left the sisters alone.

For some time there was silence while Fanny stared at the big pile of
closely written sheets which lay in front of her and Susan looked at
her sister. Then with a sigh the older girl rose and gathered the
papers in her arms. "Mother is right. It is wrong of me," said she.
"Would you mind, Susan, coming down into the yard with me?"

"What are you going to do, Fanny?" asked her sister in alarm.

"I've made up my mind what's best to be done, and I'm going to do

it. Come down-stairs, please."

Fanny led the way with the papers, and Susan came after her. They
went down the three flights, through a hall, and out into a paved
court at the rear of the house.

"Will you watch them a minute, please?" said Fanny, as she laid the
papers on the bricks.

She went indoors and soon was back again, with some sticks of
wood, some straw, and a lighted taper in her hand. She laid the
sticks together, stuffed some straw in among them, and then placed
the pile of papers on top.

"Oh, Fanny," cried her sister, "you're not going to burn up all the
story? Oh, poor Caroline! Don't do it, Fanny; think how long it took
to write it and how good it is!"

"I must," said Fanny, very decidedly.

"Oh, please, please don't! It's almost like murder. It's a shame,
Fanny, it is, it's a terrible shame!"

"It hurts me most," said Fanny, "but it's the only way to settle
Caroline once for all." With a very grim face she held the taper to
the straw until it caught fire. In a moment a page of the manuscript
was curling up in flames.

"Oh, Fanny, Fanny!" cried Susan, tears coming to her eyes. She
looked beseechingly at her sister, but the latter's purpose was
inflexible. A few minutes more and the papers were all burning
brightly.

The two girls stood there until the fire had burnt itself out, and then
turned to each other. Tears stood in Fanny's eyes and also in those
of the sympathetic Susan. "Poor Caroline Evelyn," sighed Fanny, "I'm
going to be ever and ever so lonely without her."

Susan slipped her arm about her sister's waist, and they went
indoors to get ready for supper. The young authoress was very quiet
when the family met at table a little later, and had very little
appetite, but the family were quite used to Fanny's reserve, and
none of them thought anything about it except the faithful Susan,
who threw tender reproachful glances across the table at Fanny from
time to time.

The father of these girls, Dr. Charles Burney, was the fashionable
music-master of the day in London. He had made a great success,
and had so many pupils that he had to begin his round of lessons as
early as seven o'clock in the morning, and often was not through
with them until eleven at night. Many a time he dined in a hackney
coach on sandwiches and a glass of sherry and water as he drove
from one house to another. Among his friends were all sorts of
people, musicians, actors, scholars, famous beaux and belles, and as
he was most hospitable his children grew up familiar with many
different types of men and women of the great world of London. The
other girls and the boys were like their father in taking part in all the
entertainments that went on, but Fanny, the second daughter,
although she was admitted to be very bright, was unusually quiet
and retiring. Her teacher called her "the silent, observant Miss
Fanny," and that described her well, because she was always
watching the people about her, and remembering their peculiar tricks
of manner and speech.

But she had a mind of her own and could speak up on occasion.
When she was ten years old her father lived in a house on Poland
Street, next door to a wig-maker, who supplied perukes to the
judges and lawyers of London. The children of the wig-maker and
the Burney children played together in a little garden behind the
former's house, and one day they went into the wig-maker's house,
and each put on one of the fine wigs he had for sale. Then they
began to play in the garden until one of the perukes, which was very
fine and worth over ten guineas, fell into a tub of water and lost all
its curl. The wig-maker came out, fished out the peruke, and
declared it was entirely ruined. With that he spoke very angrily to his
children, when suddenly the quiet Fanny stepped forth, and with the
manner of an old lady said, "What is the use of talking so much
about an accident? The wig is wet, to be sure, and it was a very
good wig, but words will do no good, because, sir, what's done can't
be undone." The wig-maker listened in great surprise, and then
made Fanny a little bow. "Miss Burney speaks with the wisdom of
ages," he said, and without another word went into the house.

Among all their father's friends the Burney children thought there
was no one quite so amusing as the great actor David Garrick. He
would drop in at all hours of the day, and always playing some new
part. Sometimes he would sit still and listen to Dr. Burney talk on the
history of music, and gradually his face and manner would change
until the children could scarcely believe he was the same man who
had entered the room a short time before. He would seem to
become an old crafty man before their very eyes, or a villain from
the slums of London, or a Spanish grandee for the first time in
England. Sometimes he would appear at the house in disguise and
give a new name to the maid and appear in the dining-room as a
stranger to the family. Once he arrived at the door in an old, ill-
fitting wig and shabby clothes and the servant refused to admit him,
taking him for a beggar. "Egad, child," he said to the maid, "you
don't guess whom you have the happiness to see! Do you know that
I am one of the first geniuses of the age? You would faint away
upon the spot if you could only imagine who I am!" The maid, very
much startled, let him pass, and he shambled into the house, again
pretending to be a beggar. The children were always delighted to
have him come, and Fanny in particular, because she had a talent for
mimicking people herself, and she liked to study him. He often sent
them tickets to see him act at Drury Lane Theatre, and there they
saw their friend play the greatest rôles of the English stage as no
actor had ever played them before.

Fanny's particular friend was a Mr. Samuel Crisp, a curious man who
had once been very popular in London, but had retired to a lonely
life in the country at a place called Chesington Hall. He was very
fond of the Burneys and often had them visit him at his country
home. Fanny called him "her dearest daddy," and loved to walk
across the meadows with him, and tell him of the curious people she
had met at her father's house in town. He understood her better
than any one else, and it was to him that she confided the story of
how she had burned the manuscript of her novel. "It was very hard,
Daddy," she said. "I know I oughtn't to want to keep on scribbling,
but somehow I can't help it. I think of so many things, and I want to
make them real, and the only way is to put them down on paper.
People tell me young ladies shouldn't be writing stories, that it's not
genteel, but how can I help myself?"

"You can tell them to me, Fanny, and no one shall ever know you
made them up."
So she unburdened her heart to him, told him of her friend Caroline
Evelyn, the dear child of her brain, of the suitors that young lady
had, and how she treated them, and of her elopement to Gretna
Green, and of the funny people she was continually meeting. Mr.
Crisp listened and smiled, surprised at the girl's powers of
description and humor. Finally he said to her, "It seems to me,
Fanny, that young lady's career is more interesting to you than your
own."

"So it is," she answered. "I think more about her than about any one
else."

"Then," said Mr. Crisp, "in spite of your mother's good advice and
your own judgment I predict that Caroline rises in time from the
flames."

"Do you think so, Daddy? Oh, if she only might! It's well there's no
paper and ink here or I'd begin her over again right on the spot."

Mr. Crisp was right in his prediction. That summer the Burneys went
to the little town of King's Lynn, where Fanny had been born. There
Fanny shut herself up in a summer-house which was called "The
Cabin," and began to rewrite her book. She seized upon every scrap
of white paper that she could find and bore it off with her. She
worked secretly, inventing numberless excuses for the hours she
spent by herself. Gradually the story took shape again, changed in
many ways from its first telling, and with the heroine rechristened
Evelina.

Meantime Dr. Burney had started to prepare his great History of

Music, and asked the help of his daughters to copy it for him. Fanny
wrote the best hand and was the most reliable, so her father made
her his chief secretary, and day after day she worked with him,
having to postpone her own book from week to week. But each time
she came back to it more ardently and each time her pen flew faster
as she sat at her table in the little summer-house. At last she told
Susan about it, and Susan was delighted, and when Fanny read
some of it to her she declared that it was a thousand times better
than the story of Caroline had been.

When her father's History of Music appeared in print it made a great

success, and this stirred the youthful Fanny with the desire to see
what London would think of "Evelina." She was determined,
however, to keep its authorship unknown, and so she carefully
recopied the manuscript in an assumed handwriting in order that no
publisher or printer who had seen her handwriting in any of the
manuscripts she had copied for her father should recognize the
same hand in this. But "Evelina" had grown to be a very long novel,
and by the time she had copied out two volumes of it she grew
tired, and so she wrote a letter, without any signature, to a
publisher, offering to send him the completed part of her novel at
once, and the rest of it during the next year. This publisher replied
that he would not consider the book unless he were told the author's
name. Fanny showed the letter to Susan, and they talked it over, but
decided that she ought not to send her name. She then wrote to
another publisher, making the same offer as she had made to the
first. He said he would like to see the manuscript. Thereupon Fanny
decided to take her brother Charles into the secret and have him
carry the work to the publisher. Charles agreed, and Fanny and
Susan muffled him up in a greatcoat so that he looked much older
than he was, and sent him off. He was not recognized, and when he
called later for an answer he was told that the publisher was pleased
with the book, but could not agree to print it until he should receive
the whole story. That discouraged Fanny, and she let the book lie by
for some time, but finally plucked up courage, and copied out the
third volume.

In the meantime Fanny began to wonder if it would be fair for her to

publish a novel without telling her father, and she decided she ought
to go to him. She caught him just as he was leaving home on a trip,
and said, with many blushes and much confusion, that she had
written a little story and wanted to have it printed without giving her
name. She added that she would not bother him with the manuscript
in any way and begged that he wouldn't ask to see it. The Doctor
was very much amused as well as surprised, and he told her to go
ahead and see what would come of the story.

Better satisfied now that she had her father's consent Fanny sent the
third volume to the publisher, who accepted the book and paid her
twenty pounds for it.

g
Fanny Burney
At length "Evelina" was published. The first Fanny knew of it was
when her stepmother opened a paper one morning at the breakfast
table and read aloud an advertisement announcing the appearance
of a new novel entitled "Evelina; or, A Young Lady's Entrance into
the World." Susan smiled across the table at Fanny, and Charles
winked at her, but she sat very still, her cheeks a fiery red. They did
not give her secret away to the rest of the family, nor mention who
the author was to any of their friends. Shortly afterward Fanny was
ill and went out to Chesington to recuperate. She took the three
volumes of "Evelina" with her, and read them aloud to Mr. Crisp, who
pretended that he had no idea who the author might be and listened
with the most flattering interest to chapter after chapter. "It reminds
me of something," he said one day.

"And what may that be, dear Daddy?" she asked.

"I can't think, but it's prodigiously finer than what I'm trying to
recall," he answered.

By the time she returned home all London was talking about the
new novel and wondering as to the author. Wherever Dr. Burney
went he found people discussing the same subject. The great Dr.
Samuel Johnson declared that it was uncommonly fine, and the
Doctor was the accepted judge of all literary matters. Like all the
others he was sure that the writer was a man, and made many
guesses as to which of the lights of London it might be, but although
one man after another was credited with the honor of having written
it each had to decline the satisfaction. Sir Joshua Reynolds declared
he would give fifty pounds to know the author and meant to find
him, and Sheridan vowed he must get the clever man, whoever he
was, to write him a play.

In the meantime Fanny and Susan were enjoying the mystery

tremendously. It was very delightful to hear all the visitors at their
house talking of "Evelina" without the faintest notion that the author
was sitting there listening to all they had to say. But the time came
when Dr. Burney learned the secret, and his pride in Fanny's
accomplishment could not keep him silent. He told the story to
several of his friends and they, very much amazed, passed it on to
others. Then Mrs. Thrale, a friend of the Burneys, gave a dinner, and
told her guests that they should have the pleasure of meeting the
author of "Evelina" there. When they came they were presented to
the shy, quiet young woman whom they had often seen at Dr.
Burney's house. She was overwhelmed with congratulations, and
when the party came to an end Sir Joshua Reynolds, with a most
courtly bow, bent over her hand, and hoped that he might shortly
have the pleasure of entertaining her at his home in Leicester
Square. When she went home Fanny said to Susan, "The joke of it is
that the people spoke as if they were afraid of me, instead of my
being very much afraid of them."

"Evelina" made Fanny Burney famous. She became a well-known

figure in London life, and wrote other novels, "Cecilia, "Camilla," and
"The Wanderer." She wrote a life of Dr. Burney, and she kept many
diaries, all of which were filled with witty and humorous descriptions
of the people of her age. In time she was appointed a Lady in
Waiting to Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, and took a
prominent part at court. Later she married the French Chevalier
D'Arblay, and went with him to France, where she had many exciting
adventures during the Reign of Terror. She afterward described these
adventures in her diary and it gives a most interesting account of
those thrilling times.

So it was that "the silent, observant Miss Fanny" became one of the
great figures of England at the close of the eighteenth century, and
it was the fact that she could not give up her love of writing and had
to tell the story of her heroine Evelina that first brought her to the
notice of the world and made her famous.

access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt
that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project
Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or
destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
Project Gutenberg™ works.

any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in

forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for

the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3,
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the
Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR
BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH
1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK
OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF
YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving
it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or
entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide
a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation,

the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation,
anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with

following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or
any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
