With
the
size
and
furniture
of
the
house
Mrs
.
Dashwood
was
upon
the
whole
well
satisfied
;
for
though
her
former
style
of
life
rendered
many
additions
to
the
latter
indispensable
,
yet
to
add
and
improve
was
a
delight
to
her
;
and
she
had
at
this
time
ready
money
enough
to
supply
all
that
was
wanted
of
greater
elegance
to
the
apartments
.
"
As
for
the
house
itself
,
to
be
sure
,
"
said
she
,
"
it
is
too
small
for
our
family
,
but
we
will
make
ourselves
tolerably
comfortable
for
the
present
,
as
it
is
too
late
in
the
year
for
improvements
.
Perhaps
in
the
spring
,
if
I
have
plenty
of
money
,
as
I
dare
say
I
shall
,
we
may
think
about
building
.
122
These
parlors
are
both
too
small
for
such
parties
of
our
friends
as
I
hope
to
see
often
collected
here
;
and
I
have
some
thoughts
of
throwing
the
passage
into
one
of
them
with
perhaps
a
part
of
the
other
,
and
so
leave
the
remainder
of
that
other
for
an
entrance
;
this
,
with
a
new
drawing
room
which
may
be
easily
added
,
and
a
bed
-
chamber
and
garret
above
,
will
make
it
a
very
snug
little
cottage
.
I
could
wish
the
stairs
were
handsome
.
But
one
must
not
expect
every
thing
;
though
I
suppose
it
would
be
no
difficult
matter
to
widen
them
.
I
shall
see
how
much
I
am
before
-
hand
with
the
world
in
the
spring
,
and
we
will
plan
our
improvements
accordingly
.
"
123
In
the
mean
time
,
till
all
these
alterations
could
be
made
from
the
savings
of
an
income
of
five
hundred
a
-
year
by
a
woman
who
never
saved
in
her
life
,
they
were
wise
enough
to
be
contented
with
the
house
as
it
was
;
and
each
of
them
was
busy
in
arranging
their
particular
concerns
,
and
endeavoring
,
by
placing
around
them
books
and
other
possessions
,
to
form
themselves
a
home
.
Marianne
s
pianoforte
was
unpacked
and
properly
disposed
of
;
and
Elinor
s
drawings
were
affixed
to
the
walls
of
their
sitting
room
.

In
such
employments
as
these
they
were
interrupted
soon
after
breakfast
the
next
day
by
the
entrance
of
their
landlord
,
who
called
to
welcome
them
to
Barton
,
and
to
offer
them
every
accommodation
from
his
own
house
and
garden
in
which
theirs
might
at
present
be
deficient
.
Sir
John
Middleton
was
a
good
looking
man
about
forty
.
He
had
formerly
visited
at
Stanhill
,
but
it
was
too
long
for
his
young
cousins
to
remember
him
.
125
His
countenance
was
thoroughly
good
-
humoured
;
and
his
manners
were
as
friendly
as
the
style
of
his
letter
.
Their
arrival
seemed
to
afford
him
real
satisfaction
,
and
their
comfort
to
be
an
object
of
real
solicitude
to
him
.
He
said
much
of
his
earnest
desire
of
their
living
in
the
most
sociable
terms
with
his
family
,
and
pressed
them
so
cordially
to
dine
at
Barton
Park
every
day
till
they
were
better
settled
at
home
,
that
,
though
his
entreaties
were
carried
to
a
point
of
perseverance
beyond
civility
,
they
could
not
give
offence
.
His
kindness
was
not
confined
to
words
;
for
within
an
hour
after
he
left
them
,
a
large
basket
full
of
garden
stuff
and
fruit
arrived
from
the
park
,
which
was
followed
before
the
end
of
the
day
by
a
present
of
game
.
He
insisted
,
moreover
,
on
conveying
all
their
letters
to
and
from
the
post
for
them
,
and
would
not
be
denied
the
satisfaction
of
sending
them
his
newspaper
every
day
.
126
Lady
Middleton
had
sent
a
very
civil
message
by
him
,
denoting
her
intention
of
waiting
on
Mrs
.
Dashwood
as
soon
as
she
could
be
assured
that
her
visit
would
be
no
inconvenience
;
and
as
this
message
was
answered
by
an
invitation
equally
polite
,
her
ladyship
was
introduced
to
them
the
next
day
.
127
They
were
,
of
course
,
very
anxious
to
see
a
person
on
whom
so
much
of
their
comfort
at
Barton
must
depend
;
and
the
elegance
of
her
appearance
was
favourable
to
their
wishes
.
Lady
Middleton
was
not
more
than
six
or
seven
and
twenty
;
her
face
was
handsome
,
her
figure
tall
and
striking
,
and
her
address
graceful
.
Her
manners
had
all
the
elegance
which
her
husband
s
wanted

128
But
they
would
have
been
improved
by
some
share
of
his
frankness
and
warmth
;
and
her
visit
was
long
enough
to
detract
something
from
their
first
admiration
,
by
shewing
that
,
though
perfectly
well
-
bred
,
she
was
reserved
,
cold
,
and
had
nothing
to
say
for
herself
beyond
the
most
common
-
place
inquiry
or
remark
.
129
Conversation
however
was
not
wanted
,
for
Sir
John
was
very
chatty
,
and
Lady
Middleton
had
taken
the
wise
precaution
of
bringing
with
her
their
eldest
child
,
a
fine
little
boy
about
six
years
old
,
by
which
means
there
was
one
subject
always
to
be
recurred
to
by
the
ladies
in
case
of
extremity
,
for
they
had
to
enquire
his
name
and
age
,
admire
his
beauty
,
and
ask
him
questions
which
his
mother
answered
for
him
,
while
he
hung
about
her
and
held
down
his
head
,
to
the
great
surprise
of
her
ladyship
,
who
wondered
at
his
being
so
shy
before
company
,
as
he
could
make
noise
enough
at
home
.
On
every
formal
visit
a
child
ought
to
be
of
the
party
,
by
way
of
provision
for
discourse
.
In
the
present
case
it
took
up
ten
minutes
to
determine
whether
the
boy
were
most
like
his
father
or
mother
,
and
in
what
particular
he
resembled
either
,
for
of
course
every
body
differed
,
and
every
body
was
astonished
at
the
opinion
of
the
others
.
130
An
opportunity
was
soon
to
be
given
to
the
Dashwoods
of
debating
on
the
rest
of
the
children
,
as
Sir
John
would
not
leave
the
house
without
securing
their
promise
of
dining
at
the
park
the
next
day
.
