Summary
“My dearest Fanny!” William Price burst forth. “You will not believe it! I am to be a lieutenant. My friend Captain Linton has spoken for me. As soon as he is to have a ship I am to be his lieutenant!”
It was impossible that Fanny’s spirits should be as high as his, but her felicity might well have surpassed his. She listened to him with tears of joy in her eyes and could not express her pride in his accomplishments nor her gratitude for this long-awaited promotion in terms warm enough to suit her feelings.
William was jubilant. To Captain Marshall he had been a favourite in the way only a steady, dependable midshipman could be, but to Captain Linton he was a friend. Now at last he would be in the way to make his fortune. Never in his life had he felt such triumphant satisfaction and if only he would be granted an opportunity to introduce the Captain to his sister before they returned to sea, he would have nothing to wish for.

Ch. 8
I really do love seeing Fanny end up with almost anyone other than Edmund.
