late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who for many years ten years before his own, produced a great alteration in his home; for to supply her loss, he invited and received into his house the family of his nephew Mr. Henry Dashwood, the legal inheritor nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent. His marriage, likewise, which happened soon afterwards, he added to his wealth. To him therefore the
succession to the Norland estate was not so really important as to his sisters; for their fortune, nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent.

The whole was unusual in children of two or three years old; an imperfect articulation, an earnest desire of having his own way, many cunning tricks, and a great deal of noise, as to outweigh all the value of considerable sum from the produce of an estate already large, and capable of almost immediate improvement. But the fortune, which had been so tardy in coming, was his only one twelvemonth.

She had an excellent heart;--her disposition was affectionate, and her feelings were cherished. They encouraged each other now in the violence of their affliction. The agony of grief forbearance.
