I don't know. Written by Barb JA (10/8/2010 11:50 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Wasn't that Mary's point?, penned by Lisa Dalrymple

The bit I quoted was directly preceded by this

“Mr. Bertram,” said Miss Crawford, a few minutes afterwards, “you know Henry to be such a capital improver, that you cannot possibly engage in anything of the sort at Thornton Lacey without accepting his help. Only think how useful he was at Sotherton!

I can be dense, so maybe she was being sarcastic, but then wouldn't that mean she didn't think Henry was useful, and didn't want Edmund to make improvements? I don't know but I thought she was fondly reminiscing. : )
