Austen Said:

one of the most charming women in the world!

they were done by Miss Dashwood.

her mother had been quite rude enough, —

the exceedingly great inconvenience of sending her carriage for the Miss Dashwoods,

who could tell that they might not expect to go out with her a second time?

The expense would be nothing, the inconvenience not more;

it was altogether an attention

requisite to its complete enfranchisement from his promise to his father.

another year would make the invitation needless, by bringing Elinor to town as Colonel Brandon's wife, and Marianne as THEIR visitor.

to request her company and her sister's, for some days, in Harley Street, as soon as Lady Middleton could spare them.

Mrs. Dashwood had never been so much pleased with any young women in her life, as she was with them; had given each of them a needle book made by some emigrant; called Lucy by her Christian name; and did not know

whether she should ever be able to part with them.

she thought to make a match between Edward and some Lord's daughter or other,

they should not stay a minute longer in the house,

to let them stay till they had packed up their clothes.

she never shall think well of anybody again;

they deserved some attention, were harmless, well-behaved girls, and would be pleasant companions;

'I wish, with all my heart,'

'that we had asked your sisters instead of them.'"

he really believed there was no material danger in Fanny's indisposition, and that they need not therefore be very uneasy about it,

Mrs. Richardson was come in her coach, and would take one of us to Kensington Gardens;

concerned to find that Elinor and her sister were so soon to leave town, as she had hoped to see more of them;

their travelling so far towards Barton without any expense, and on Colonel Brandon's being to follow them to Cleveland in a day or two,

to come to Norland whenever it should happen to be in their way,

Marianne Dashwood was dying of a putrid fever at Cleveland — a letter that morning received from Mrs. Jennings declared her danger most imminent — the Palmers are all gone off in a fright,

an old promise about a pointer puppy.

Mrs. Ferrars was the most unfortunate of women — poor Fanny had suffered agonies of sensibility —

Robert's offence was unpardonable, but Lucy's was infinitely worse. Neither of them were ever again to be mentioned to Mrs. Ferrars; and even, if she might hereafter be induced to forgive her son, his wife should never be acknowledged as her daughter, nor be permitted to appear in her presence. The secrecy with which everything had been carried on between them, was rationally treated as enormously heightening the crime, because, had any suspicion of it occurred to the others, proper measures would have been taken to prevent the marriage;

join with him in regretting that Lucy's engagement with Edward had not rather been fulfilled, than that she should thus be the means of spreading misery farther in the family. —

in Miss Morton he would have a woman of higher rank and larger fortune;

Miss Morton was the daughter of a nobleman with thirty thousand pounds, while Miss Dashwood was only the daughter of a private gentleman with no more than THREE;

as bearing no comparison with Mrs. Brandon.
