To take three thousand pounds from the fortune of their dear little boy would be impoverishing him to the most dreadful degree.

She begged him to think again on the subject.

How could he answer it to himself to rob his child, and his only child too, of so large a sum? And what possible claim could the Miss Dashwoods, who were related to him only by half blood, which she considered as no relationship at all, have on his generosity to so large an amount.
