1 After a short interruption Mr. Rushworth began again.
2 And now, dear Fanny, I will not interrupt you any longer.
3 My dear," interrupted Sir Thomas, "there is no occasion for this.
4 He talked, therefore, for several minutes without Fanny's daring to interrupt him.
5 He then returned to his former station, and went on as if there had been no such tender interruption.
6 The chapel was soon afterwards left to the silence and stillness which reigned in it, with few interruptions, throughout the year.
7 A quarter of an hour, twenty minutes, passed away, and Fanny was still thinking of Edmund, Miss Crawford, and herself, without interruption from any one.
8 The only interruption which thoughts like these received for nearly half an hour was from a sudden burst of her father's, not at all calculated to compose them.
9 It came happily while she was thus waiting; and there being neither ceremony nor fearfulness to delay the moment of meeting, she was with him as he entered the house, and the first minutes of exquisite feeling had no interruption and no witnesses, unless the servants chiefly intent upon opening the proper doors could be called such.
