she could really almost fancy herself at grove � and the staircase you know as i came in i observed how very like the staircase was placed exactly in the same part of the house i really could not help exclaiming i assure you miss it is very delightful to me to be reminded of a place i am so extremely partial to as grove i have spent so many happy months there with a little sigh of sentiment a charming place undoubtedly everybody who sees it is struck by its beauty but to me it has been quite a home whenever you are like me miss you will understand how very delightful it is to meet with anything at all like what one has left behind i always say this is quite one of the evils of matrimony made as slight a reply as she could but it was fully sufficient for mrs who only wanted to be talking herself so extremely like grove and it is not merely the house the grounds i assure you as far as i could observe are strikingly like the at grove are in the same profusion as here and stand very much in the same way � just across the lawn and i had a glimpse of a fine large tree with a bench round it which put me so exactly in mind my brother and sister will be enchanted with this place people who have extensive grounds themselves are always pleased with anything in the same style doubted the truth of this sentiment she had a great idea that people who had extensive grounds themselves cared very little for the extensive grounds of anybody else but it was not worth while to attack an error so double and she therefore only said in reply � when you have seen more of this country i am afraid you will think you have over is full of beauties oh yes i am quite aware of that it is the garden of england you know is the garden of england yes but we must not rest our claims on that distinction many i believe are called the garden of england as well as no i fancy not replied mrs with a most satisfied smile i never heard any county but called so was silenced my brother and sister have promised us a visit in the spring or summer at continued mrs and that will be our time for exploring while they are with us we shall explore a great deal i dare say they will have their of course which holds four perfectly and therefore without saying anything of our carriage we should be able to explore the different beauties extremely well they would hardly come in their chaise i think at that season of the year indeed when the time draws on i shall decidedly recommend their bringing the it will be so very much when people come into a beautiful country of this sort you know miss one naturally wishes them to see as much as possible and mr is extremely fond of exploring we to king s twice last summer in that way most delightfully just after their first having the you have many parties of that kind here i suppose miss every summer no not immediately here we are rather out of distance of the very striking beauties which attract the sort of parties you speak of and we are a very quiet set of people i believe more disposed to stay at home than engage in schemes of pleasure ah there is nothing like staying at home for real comfort nobody can be more devoted to home than i am i was quite a proverb for it at grove many a time has said when she has been going to i really cannot get this girl to move from the house i absolutely must go in by myself though i hate being stuck up in the without a companion but i believe with her own good will would never stir beyond the park many a time has she said so and yet i am no advocate for entire seclusion i think on the contrary when people shut themselves up entirely from society it is a very bad thing and that it is much more advisable to mix in the world in a proper degree without living in it either too much or too little i perfectly understand your situation however miss looking towards mr your father s state of health must be a great why does not he try bath indeed he should let me recommend bath to you i assure you i have no doubt of its doing mr good my father tried it more than once formerly but without receiving any benefit and mr whose name i dare say is not unknown to you does not conceive it would be at all more likely to be useful now ah that s a great pity for i assure you miss where the waters do agree it is quite wonderful the relief they give in my bath life i have seen such instances of it and it is so cheerful a place that it could not fail of being of use to mr s spirits which i understand are sometimes much depressed and as to its recommendation to you i fancy i need not take much pains to dwell on them the advantages of bath to the young are pretty generally understood it would be a charming introduction for you who have lived so secluded a life and i could immediately secure you some of the best society in the place a line from me would bring you a little host of and my particular friend mrs the lady i have always resided with when in bath would be most happy to show you any attentions and would be the very person for you to go into public with
