From Mansfield Park:
"Do not urge her, madam," said Edmund. "It is not fair to urge her in this manner. You see she does not like to act. Let her chuse for herself, as well as the rest of us. Her judgment may be quite as safely trusted. Do not urge her any more."
"I am not going to urge her," replied Mrs. Norris sharply; "but I shall think her a very obstinate, ungrateful girl, if she does not do what her aunt and cousins wish her—very ungrateful, indeed, considering who and what she is."
Edmund was too angry to speak; but Miss Crawford, looking for a moment with astonished eyes at Mrs. Norris, and then at Fanny, whose tears were beginning to shew themselves, immediately said, with some keenness, "I do not like my situation: this place is too hot for me," and moved away her chair to the opposite side of the table, close to Fanny, saying to her, in a kind, low whisper, as she placed herself, "Never mind, my dear Miss Price, this is a cross evening: everybody is cross and teasing, but do not let us mind them"; and with pointed attention continued to talk to her and endeavour to raise her spirits, in spite of being out of spirits herself. "
Oh, no! Miss Fanny Price, look out! Those Crawfords are dangerous.

(I'm a weird contrarian; I usually loathe and detest Austen in the movies. But. I love this seductive bonbon, this oddity: the 1999 version of 'Mansfield Park' written and directed by Patricia Rozema. I especially adore the casting: Frances O'Connor as Fanny Price, Jonny Lee Miller (!) as Edmund Bertram, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Crawford, Alessandro Nivola (the very Southern husband in 'Junebug'!) as Henry Crawford, James Purefoy as Tom Bertram, and Harold Pinter (!!!) as Sir Thomas Bertram.)
