Part 2 of 6 of the 1983 Jane Austen adaptation. Fanny has grown up to be an indispensable member of the household at Mansfield Park. During Sir Thomas's absence abroad, Henry and Mary Crawford, wealthy siblings from London, stay in the neighbourhood with their half sister Mrs Grant and her clergyman husband, to the delight of almost everyone. However while Edmund is quite taken with Mary, Fanny is not sure about her and even less so about her brother Henry, who is far too intimate with her cousins Julia and Maria for her liking. For Maria is engaged to be married to the prosperous Mr Rushworth and during a trip to his grand estate Fanny is witness to his flirtatious and manipulative behaviour.
