Mansfield Park
Susan Price
Fanny's younger sister
Fanny's spirited sister in Portsmouth. She is honest, eager to learn, and ends up at Mansfield Park.
Susan Price is Fanny's younger sister, living in the cramped, noisy Price home in Portsmouth. She is rough-mannered but honest and sensible, and she wants to learn. When Fanny gives her a silver thimble to settle a quarrel with Betsey, a friendship begins.
Fanny finds in Susan a heart that responds to kindness and a mind eager for improvement. In some ways Susan is what Fanny might have been with a little more fire.
“A silver thimble of my own? Oh, Fanny, thank you! Now Betsey and I shall never quarrel over work again.”
