some time could only walk and admire. At length, after a short pause, Miss Crawford began with, "So you are to be a clergyman, Mr. Bertram. This is rather a surprise to me." ¡¡¡¡ "Why should it surprise you? You must suppose me designed for some profession, and might perceive that I am neither a lawyer, nor a soldier, nor a sailor." ¡¡¡¡ "Very true; but, in short, it had not occurred to me. And you know there is generally an uncle or a grandfather to leave a fortune to the second son." "A very praiseworthy practice," said Edmund, "but not quite universal.
I am one of the exceptions, and _being_ one, must do something for myself." ¡¡¡¡ "'But why are you to be a clergyman? I thought _that_ was always the lot of the youngest, where there were many to chuse before him." ¡¡¡¡ "Do you think the church itself never chosen, then?"
