in consequence of the missive, Selfishness must always be forgiven?, penned by Robbin
Both her behavior and the quote prove it, to me. As you said, Mary continues to deprive Fanny of her excercise (with Edmund's assisstance!) Her statement "Knew I was keeping you waiting... Knew I was late" show a complete disregard for others' feelings or even rights. She brushes it all off with the glib "Selfishness must be forgiven because there is no hope of a cure.", as if she can charm everyone with thoughtless ditzy words. This, of course is the first time we hear this attitude, and it won't be the last.
