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 …
