think Aunt Norris was desperate for any acknowledgement of her 'generousity' and wanted Fanny to show gratitude to her.
________

She would have liked someone who would be thankful in excess, wouldn't she? Maybe she planned on a Fanny who would not only be her dog to fetch things, but a yeah-boss kind of person ever grateful for her aunt's condescension. A fawning, Mr Collins or Uriah Heep type -- or at least a grateful Harriet.
