As
it
was
impossible
,
however
,
now
to
prevent
their
coming
,
Lady
Middleton
resigned
herself
to
the
idea
of
it
,
with
all
the
philosophy
of
a
well
-
bred
woman
,
contenting
herself
with
merely
giving
her
husband
a
gentle
reprimand
on
the
subject
five
or
six
times
every
day
.
712
The
young
ladies
arrived
:
their
appearance
was
by
no
means
ungenteel
or
unfashionable
.
Their
dress
was
very
smart
,
their
manners
very
civil
,
they
were
delighted
with
the
house
,
and
in
raptures
with
the
furniture
,
and
they
happened
to
be
so
doatingly
fond
of
children
that
Lady
Middleton
s
good
opinion
was
engaged
in
their
favour
before
they
had
been
an
hour
at
the
Park
.
She
declared
them
to
be
very
agreeable
girls
indeed
,
which
for
her
ladyship
was
enthusiastic
admiration
.
Sir
John
s
confidence
in
his
own
judgment
rose
with
this
animated
praise
,
and
he
set
off
directly
for
the
cottage
to
tell
the
Miss
Dashwoods
of
the
Miss
Steeles
arrival
,
and
to
assure
them
of
their
being
the
sweetest
girls
in
the
world
.
From
such
commendation
as
this
,
however
,
there
was
not
much
to
be
learned
;
Elinor
well
knew
that
the
sweetest
girls
in
the
world
were
to
be
met
with
in
every
part
of
England
,
under
every
possible
variation
of
form
,
face
,
temper
and
understanding
.
Sir
John
wanted
the
whole
family
to
walk
to
the
Park
directly
and
look
at
his
guests
.
Benevolent
,
philanthropic
man
!
It
was
painful
to
him
even
to
keep
a
third
cousin
to
himself
.
713
"
Do
come
now
,
"
said
he
"
pray
come
you
must
come
I
declare
you
shall
come
You
can
t
think
how
you
will
like
them
.

Lucy
is
monstrous
pretty
,
and
so
good
humoured
and
agreeable
!
The
children
are
all
hanging
about
her
already
,
as
if
she
was
an
old
acquaintance
.
And
they
both
long
to
see
you
of
all
things
,
for
they
have
heard
at
Exeter
that
you
are
the
most
beautiful
creatures
in
the
world
;
and
I
have
told
them
it
is
all
very
true
,
and
a
great
deal
more
.
You
will
be
delighted
with
them
I
am
sure
.
They
have
brought
the
whole
coach
full
of
playthings
for
the
children
.
How
can
you
be
so
cross
as
not
to
come
?
Why
they
are
your
cousins
,
you
know
,
after
a
fashion
.
YOU
are
my
cousins
,
and
they
are
my
wife
s
,
so
you
must
be
related
.

But
Sir
John
could
not
prevail
.
He
could
only
obtain
a
promise
of
their
calling
at
the
Park
within
a
day
or
two
,
and
then
left
them
in
amazement
at
their
indifference
,
to
walk
home
and
boast
anew
of
their
attractions
to
the
Miss
Steeles
,
as
he
had
been
already
boasting
of
the
Miss
Steeles
to
them
.
716
When
their
promised
visit
to
the
Park
and
consequent
introduction
to
these
young
ladies
took
place
,
they
found
in
the
appearance
of
the
eldest
,
who
was
nearly
thirty
,
with
a
very
plain
and
not
a
sensible
face
,
nothing
to
admire
;
but
in
the
other
,
who
was
not
more
than
two
or
three
and
twenty
,
they
acknowledged
considerable
beauty
;
her
features
were
pretty
,
and
she
had
a
sharp
quick
eye
,
and
a
smartness
of
air
,
which
though
it
did
not
give
actual
elegance
or
grace
,
gave
distinction
to
her
person
.
Their
manners
were
particularly
civil
,
and
Elinor
soon
allowed
them
credit
for
some
kind
of
sense
,
when
she
saw
with
what
constant
and
judicious
attention
they
were
making
themselves
agreeable
to
Lady
Middleton
.
717
With
her
children
they
were
in
continual
raptures
,
extolling
their
beauty
,
courting
their
notice
,
and
humouring
their
whims
;
and
such
of
their
time
as
could
be
spared
from
the
importunate
demands
which
this
politeness
made
on
it
,
was
spent
in
admiration
of
whatever
her
ladyship
was
doing
,
if
she
happened
to
be
doing
any
thing
,
or
in
taking
patterns
of
some
elegant
new
dress
,
in
which
her
appearance
the
day
before
had
thrown
them
into
unceasing
delight
.
Fortunately
for
those
who
pay
their
court
through
such
foibles
,
a
fond
mother
,
though
,
in
pursuit
of
praise
for
her
children
,
the
most
rapacious
of
human
beings
,
is
likewise
the
most
credulous
;
her
demands
are
exorbitant
;
but
she
will
swallow
any
thing
;
and
the
excessive
affection
and
endurance
of
the
Miss
Steeles
towards
her
offspring
were
viewed
therefore
by
Lady
Middleton
without
the
smallest
surprise
or
distrust
.
She
saw
with
maternal
complacency
all
the
impertinent
encroachments
and
mischievous
tricks
to
which
her
cousins
submitted
.
She
saw
their
sashes
untied
,
their
hair
pulled
about
their
ears
,
their
work
-
bags
searched
,
and
their
knives
and
scissors
stolen
away
,
and
felt
no
doubt
of
its
being
a
reciprocal
enjoyment
.
It
suggested
no
other
surprise
than
that
Elinor
and
Marianne
should
sit
so
composedly
by
,
without
claiming
a
share
in
what
was
passing
.

"
John
is
in
such
spirits
today
!
"
said
she
,
on
his
taking
Miss
Steeles
s
pocket
handkerchief
,
and
throwing
it
out
of
window
"
He
is
full
of
monkey
tricks
.

And
soon
afterwards
,
on
the
second
boy
s
violently
pinching
one
of
the
same
lady
s
fingers
,
she
fondly
observed
,
"
How
playful
William
is
!
"
