Sir Thomas and Mr. Yates

Sir Thomas had been quite indifferent to Mr. Crawford’s going or staying: but his good wishes for Mr. Yates’s having a pleasant journey, as he walked with him to the hall-door, were given with genuine satisfaction. ...Sir Thomas hoped, in seeing him out of [the house], to be rid of the worst object connected with the scheme, and the last that must be inevitably reminding him of its existence. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, Chapter 20, emphasis mine

Re-reading Mansfield Park is hilarious. Poor Sir Thomas happily thought he had seen the last of Mr. Yates and any reminder of the Lover's Vows play his children had attempted, until Mr. Yates shows up again at the end of the novel. Surprise!

Rude by Magic! would be the song going through Mr. Yate's head when Sir Thomas gets rid of everything that had to do with the attempted "Lover's Vows" performance.

Sir Thomas Bertram's "Favorite" Son-in-Law

Mr. Yates, years after he and Julia married: Remember when we first met Sir Thomas? I was reciting my lines from Lover's Vows and you unexpectedly came home and walked onto the stage we built in your billiard room! So diverting! Sir Thomas: [Sighs deeply and stares into the middle distance] (To himself) stay calm and think of Antigua

Normalise 'Boys will be boys' as in 'Let's put on a play because it is going to be sooo cool and we are going to rock it!' instead of 'Let's pressure a girl into accepting some guy's affections because she MAkES hIM BetTeR'.

Edmund Bertram: so, Yates-Tom says you are into theater?

John Yates: why, yes! I actually was to star in a stage adaptation of Lovers' Vows!

Mary Crawford: oh, how fascinating! How did it go?

John Yates: *deep sigh* it did not go! We were forced to put it on hold!

Henry Crawford: and why is that?

John Yates: our generous host's grandmother's died!

Edmund Bertram: *simpathetically* oh dear, that is really unfortunate-

John Yates: right?! Had we known we could have recruited her as the Baron's wife!
