Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...world. You saw I did not all dinner-time. No more would Sir John nor my daughters, for they are all very thoughtful and considerate--especially if I give them a hint, as I certainly will. For my part, I think the less that is said about such things, the better, the sooner ''tis blown over and forgot. And what good does talking ever do, you know? In this affair it can only do harm--more so perhaps than in many cases of a similar kind, for it has been attended by circumstances which, for the sake of every one concerned in it, make it unfit to become the public conversation. I must do this justice to Mr. Willoughby--he has broken no positive engagement with my sister. Law, my dear! Don''t pretend to defend him. No positive engagement indeed! after taking her all over Allenham House, and fixing on the very rooms they were to live in hereafter! Elinor, for her sister''s sake, could not press the subject farther, and she hoped it was not required of her for Willoughby''s; since, though Marianne might lose much, he could gain very little by the enforcement of the real truth. After a short silence on both sides, Mrs. Jennings, with all her natural hilarity, burst forth again--Well, my dear, ''tis a true saying about an ill wind, for it will be all the better for Colonel Brandon. He will have her at last; aye, that he will. Mind me, now, if they a''n''t married by Midsummer. Lord! how he''ll chuckle over this news! I hope he will come to-night. It will be all to one a better match for your sister. Two thousand a year without debt or drawback--except the little love-child, indeed; aye, I had forgot her; but she may be ''prenticed out at small cost, and then what does it signify? Delaford is a nice place, I can tell you; exactly what I call a nice oldfashioned... Jane Austen, Books, Fiction and Literature, Sense and Sensibility Books>Fiction and Literature, General Books LLC<
