Barton
Park
was
about
half
a
mile
from
the
cottage
.
The
ladies
had
passed
near
it
in
their
way
along
the
valley
,
but
it
was
screened
from
their
view
at
home
by
the
projection
of
a
hill
.
The
house
was
large
and
handsome
;
and
the
Middletons
lived
in
a
style
of
equal
hospitality
and
elegance
.
The
former
was
for
Sir
John
s
gratification
,
the
latter
for
that
of
his
lady
.
They
were
scarcely
ever
without
some
friends
staying
with
them
in
the
house
,
and
they
kept
more
company
of
every
kind
than
any
other
family
in
the
neighbourhood
.
It
was
necessary
to
the
happiness
of
both
;
for
however
dissimilar
in
temper
and
outward
behaviour
,
they
strongly
resembled
each
other
in
that
total
want
of
talent
and
taste
which
confined
their
employments
,
unconnected
with
such
as
society
produced
,
within
a
very
narrow
compass
.
Sir
John
was
a
sportsman
,
Lady
Middleton
a
mother
.
He
hunted
and
shot
,
and
she
humoured
her
children
;
and
these
were
their
only
resources
.
Lady
Middleton
had
the
advantage
of
being
able
to
spoil
her
children
all
the
year
round
,
while
Sir
John
s
independent
employments
were
in
existence
only
half
the
time
.
Continual
engagements
at
home
and
abroad
,
however
,
supplied
all
the
deficiencies
of
nature
and
education
;
supported
the
good
spirits
of
Sir
John
,
and
gave
exercise
to
the
good
breeding
of
his
wife
.
132
Lady
Middleton
piqued
herself
upon
the
elegance
of
her
table
,
and
of
all
her
domestic
arrangements
;
and
from
this
kind
of
vanity
was
her
greatest
enjoyment
in
any
of
their
parties
.
133
But
Sir
John
s
satisfaction
in
society
was
much
more
real
;
he
delighted
in
collecting
about
him
more
young
people
than
his
house
would
hold
,
and
the
noisier
they
were
the
better
was
he
pleased
.
He
was
a
blessing
to
all
the
juvenile
part
of
the
neighbourhood
,
for
in
summer
he
was
for
ever
forming
parties
to
eat
cold
ham
and
chicken
out
of
doors
,
and
in
winter
his
private
balls
were
numerous
enough
for
any
young
lady
who
was
not
suffering
under
the
unsatiable
appetite
of
fifteen
.

The
arrival
of
a
new
family
in
the
country
was
always
a
matter
of
joy
to
him
,
and
in
every
point
of
view
he
was
charmed
with
the
inhabitants
he
had
now
procured
for
his
cottage
at
Barton
.
The
Miss
Dashwoods
were
young
,
pretty
,
and
unaffected
.
It
was
enough
to
secure
his
good
opinion
;
for
to
be
unaffected
was
all
that
a
pretty
girl
could
want
to
make
her
mind
as
captivating
as
her
person
.
The
friendliness
of
his
disposition
made
him
happy
in
accommodating
those
,
whose
situation
might
be
considered
,
in
comparison
with
the
past
,
as
unfortunate
.
In
showing
kindness
to
his
cousins
therefore
he
had
the
real
satisfaction
of
a
good
heart
;
and
in
settling
a
family
of
females
only
in
his
cottage
,
he
had
all
the
satisfaction
of
a
sportsman
;
for
a
sportsman
,
though
he
esteems
only
those
of
his
sex
who
are
sportsmen
likewise
,
is
not
often
desirous
of
encouraging
their
taste
by
admitting
them
to
a
residence
within
his
own
manor
.
135
Mrs
.
136
Dashwood
and
her
daughters
were
met
at
the
door
of
the
house
by
Sir
John
,
who
welcomed
them
to
Barton
Park
with
unaffected
sincerity
;
and
as
he
attended
them
to
the
drawing
room
repeated
to
the
young
ladies
the
concern
which
the
same
subject
had
drawn
from
him
the
day
before
,
at
being
unable
to
get
any
smart
young
men
to
meet
them
.
They
would
see
,
he
said
,
only
one
gentleman
there
besides
himself
;
a
particular
friend
who
was
staying
at
the
park
,
but
who
was
neither
very
young
nor
very
gay
.
He
hoped
they
would
all
excuse
the
smallness
of
the
party
,
and
could
assure
them
it
should
never
happen
so
again
.
He
had
been
to
several
families
that
morning
in
hopes
of
procuring
some
addition
to
their
number
,
but
it
was
moonlight
and
every
body
was
full
of
engagements
.
Luckily
Lady
Middleton
s
mother
had
arrived
at
Barton
within
the
last
hour
,
and
as
she
was
a
very
cheerful
agreeable
woman
,
he
hoped
the
young
ladies
would
not
find
it
so
very
dull
as
they
might
imagine
.
The
young
ladies
,
as
well
as
their
mother
,
were
perfectly
satisfied
with
having
two
entire
strangers
of
the
party
,
and
wished
for
no
more
.
137
Mrs
.
Jennings
,
Lady
Middleton
s
mother
,
was
a
good
-
humoured
,
merry
,
fat
,
elderly
woman
,
who
talked
a
great
deal
,
seemed
very
happy
,
and
rather
vulgar
.
She
was
full
of
jokes
and
laughter
,
and
before
dinner
was
over
had
said
many
witty
things
on
the
subject
of
lovers
and
husbands
;
hoped
they
had
not
left
their
hearts
behind
them
in
Sussex
,
and
pretended
to
see
them
blush
whether
they
did
or
not
.

Marianne
was
vexed
at
it
for
her
sister
s
sake
,
and
turned
her
eyes
towards
Elinor
to
see
how
she
bore
these
attacks
,
with
an
earnestness
which
gave
Elinor
far
more
pain
than
could
arise
from
such
common
-
place
raillery
as
Mrs
.
Jennings
s
.
139
Colonel
Brandon
,
the
friend
of
Sir
John
,
seemed
no
more
adapted
by
resemblance
of
manner
to
be
his
friend
,
than
Lady
Middleton
was
to
be
his
wife
,
or
Mrs
.
Jennings
to
be
Lady
Middleton
s
mother
.
He
was
silent
and
grave
.
His
appearance
however
was
not
unpleasing
,
in
spite
of
his
being
in
the
opinion
of
Marianne
and
Margaret
an
absolute
old
bachelor
,
for
he
was
on
the
wrong
side
of
five
and
thirty
;
but
though
his
face
was
not
handsome
,
his
countenance
was
sensible
,
and
his
address
was
particularly
gentlemanlike
.
140
There
was
nothing
in
any
of
the
party
which
could
recommend
them
as
companions
to
the
Dashwoods
;
but
the
cold
insipidity
of
Lady
Middleton
was
so
particularly
repulsive
,
that
in
comparison
of
it
the
gravity
of
Colonel
Brandon
,
and
even
the
boisterous
mirth
of
Sir
John
and
his
mother
-
in
-
law
was
interesting
.
Lady
Middleton
seemed
to
be
roused
to
enjoyment
only
by
the
entrance
of
her
four
noisy
children
after
dinner
,
who
pulled
her
about
,
tore
her
clothes
,
and
put
an
end
to
every
kind
of
discourse
except
what
related
to
themselves
.
