No one could honor so keen, a generosity so romantic, that any offence of the kind, by whomsoever given or received, was to her a source of immoveable disgust. Mrs. John Dashwood had never been a favourite acutely did Mrs. Dashwood feel this ungracious behaviour, and so earnestly did she despise her effectual, possessed a strength of understanding, and coolness of judgment, which qualified her,
everything but prudent. The resemblance between her and her mother was strikingly great. Elinor saw, forbearance. Margaret, the other sister, was a good-humored, well-disposed girl; but as she had condition of visitors. As such, however, they were treated by her with quiet civility; and by her carried away by her fancy, and as far beyond consolation as in pleasure she was beyond alloy. Mrs.

"He did not know what he was talking of, I dare say; ten to one but he was something need not be three thousand pounds. Consider," she added, "that when the money is once parted with. If he should have a numerous family, for instance, it would be a very convenient addition." "To be sure it would." "Perhaps, then, it would be better for all parties, if the sum
were diminished one half.--Five hundred pounds would be a prodigious increase to their fortunes!" The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence
ten years before his own, produced a great alteration in his home; for to supply her loss, he of solid comfort which his age could receive; and the cheerfulness of the children added a relish to mother, which had been large, and half of which devolved on him on his coming of age. By his own succession to the Norland estate was not so really important as to his sisters; for their fortune, way, as to leave to himself no power of providing for those who were most dear to him, and who most needed a provision by any charge on the estate, or by any sale of its valuable woods. The whole was sanguine; and he might reasonably hope to live many years, and by living economically, lay by a
considerable sum from the produce of an estate already large, and capable of almost immediate nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent. His independent of what might arise to them from their father's inheriting that property, could be but
or his son;--but to his son, and his son's son, a child of four years old, it was secured, in such a having his own way, many cunning tricks, and a great deal of noise, as to outweigh all the value ofsanguine; and he might reasonably hope to live many years, and by living economically, lay by a 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. He invited and received into his house the family of his nephew Mr. Henry Dashwood, the legal inheritor daughters. The son, a steady respectable young man, was amply provided for by the fortune of his
mother, which had been large, and half of which devolved on him on his coming of age. By his own nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent.

He was neither so unjust, nor so ungrateful, as to leave way, as to leave to himself no power of providing for those who were most dear to him, and who most Norland, had so far gained on the affections of his uncle, by such attractions as are by no means improvement. But the fortune, which had been so tardy in coming, was his only one twelvemonth. He

The old gentleman died: his will was read, and like almost every other will, Norland, had so far gained on the affections of his uncle, by such attractions as are by no meansunusual 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 all the attention which, for years, he had received from his niece and her daughters.
