eight in the morning
As nothing was really left for the decision of Mrs. Price , or the good offices of Rebecca , everything was rationally and duly accomplished , and the girls were ready for the morrow . The advantage of much sleep to prepare them for their journey was impossible . The cousin who was travelling towards them could hardly have less than visited their agitated spirits -- one all happiness , the other all varying and indescribable perturbation . By eight in the morning Edmund was in the house . The girls heard his entrance from above , and Fanny went down . The idea of immediately seeing him , with the knowledge of what he must be suffering , brought back all her own first feelings . He so near her , and in misery .
