i would it if i lived near you who is now there was a little niece at to be fondly inquired after by the kind hearted who regretted very much her not being of the party you are very good replied her mother and i assure you it went very hard with to have us come away without her i was forced to say we were only going to church and promise to come back for her directly but you know it would not do to bring her without her maid and i am as particular as ever in having her properly attended to sweet little darling cried margaret it quite broke my heart to leave her then why was you in such a hurry to run away from her cried mrs you are a sad shabby girl i have been quarrelling with you all the way we came have not i such a visit as this i never heard of you know how glad we are to have any of you with us if it be for months together and i am sorry with a witty smile we have not been able to make agreeable this autumn my dearest jane do not me with your you know what i had to bring me home spare me i entreat you i am no match for your arch well i only beg you will not set your the against the place perhaps may he tempted to go back with us and stay till if you don t put in your word was greatly obliged i assure you we have very good society at i do not much attend the they are rather too mixed but our parties are very select and good i had seven tables last week in my drawing room are you fond of the country how do you like very much replied who thought a comprehensive answer most to the purpose she saw that her sister in law despised her immediately mrs was indeed wondering what sort of a home could possibly hav been used to in and setting it down as certain that the aunt could never have had six thousand pounds how charming is whispered margaret to mrs in her most tone was quite distressed by such behavior and she did not like it better when she heard margaret five minutes afterwards say to elizabeth in a sharp quick accent totally unlike the first have you heard from pen since she went to i had a letter the other day i don t find she is likely to make anything of it i fancy she come back miss as she went such she feared would be margaret s common voice when the novelty of her own appearance were over the tone of artificial sensibility was not recommended by the idea the ladies were invited upstairs to prepare for dinner the i hope you will find things tolerably comfortable jane said as she opened the door of the spare my good creature replied jane u e no ceremony with me i entreat you i am one of those who always take things as they find them i hope i can put up with a small apartment for two or three nights without making a piece of work i always wish to be treated quite en when i come to see you and now i do hope you have not been getting a great dinner for us we never eat i suppose said margaret rather quickly to you and i are to be together elizabeth always takes care to have a room to herself no elizabeth gives me half hers oh in a softened voice and rather to find that she was not ill used i am sorry i am not to have the pleasure of your company especially as it makes me nervous to be much alone was the first of the females in the parlor again on entering it she found her brother alone so said he you are quite a stranger at home it must seem odd enough for you to be here a pretty piece of work your aunt has made of it by heaven a woman should never be trusted with money i always said she ought to have settled something on you as soon as her husband died but that would have been trusting me with money replied and i am a woman too the it might have been secured to your future use without your having any power over it now what a blow it must have been upon you i to find yourself instead of of z or z sent back a weight upon your family without a sixpence i hope the old woman will smart for it do not speak of her she was very good to me and if she has made an choice she will suffer more from it herself than i can possibly do i do not mean to distress you but you know everybody must think her an old fool i thought had been reckoned an sensible clever man how the devil came he to make such a will my uncle s sense is not at all in my opinion by his attachment to my aunt she had been an excellent wife to him the most liberal and enlightened minds are always the most confiding the event has been unfortunate but my uncle s memory is if possible to me by such a proof of tender respect for my aunt that s odd sort of talking he might have provided decently for his widow without leaving everything that he had to dispose of or any part of it at her mercy my aunt may have said warmly she has but my uncle s conduct was i was her own niece and he left to her the power of providing for me but she has left the pleasure of providing for you to your father and
