Mr Bertram
Miramax film, 1999, starring Alessandro Nivola as Henry Crawford and Jonny Lee Miller as Edmund Bertram.
‘Oh, Crawford, look at dear little Fanny - attending to all my mother’s demands with such ineffable sweetness.’ (Description used in Chapter 30 of Mansfield Park)
‘In my experience, Bertram, no woman’s “ineffable”.‘
The ‘Temptations’ Selection Box is exclusive to Mansfield Park and available from Mrs Norris in the gift shop. Price - ‘Don’t mention that wretched girl’s name!’ - £9.99 for two. ‘Two chocolates that is, not boxes - do you think we’re made of money?’
Try a wholesome Edmund Bertram, filled with goodness - raisins, cherries, nothing too sinful - and rather frugally covered in dark or white chocolate, depending on whether he’s with Mary Crawford or Fanny Price.
Or indulge yourself with a Henry Crawford, a tantalisingly seductive walnut whip …
