Host/Reader

I am come here to bespeak Fanny a seal, but tomorrow I think I shall certainly be able to call in Barclay Street and be introduced to your friend Mrs.

Jennings."

I understand she is a woman of very good fortune.

And the Middletons, too.

You must introduce me to them.

As my mother-in-law's relations, I shall be happy to show them every respect.

They are excellent neighbors to you in the country, I understand.

Excellent indeed.

Their attention to our comfort, their friendliness in every particular, is more than I can express.

I'm extremely glad to hear it upon my word.

Extremely glad indeed.

But so it ought to be.

They are people of large fortune.

They are related to you.

And every civility and accommodation that can serve to make your situation pleasant might be reasonably expected.

And so you are most comfortably settled in your little cottage and want for nothing.

Edward brought us a most charming account of the place, the most complete thing of its kind, he said, that ever was, and you all seemed to enjoy it beyond anything.

It was a great satisfaction to us to hear it, I assure you.

Eleanor did feel a little ashamed of her brother, and was not sorry to be spared the necessity of answering him by the arrival of Mrs. Jennings's servant, who came to tell her that his mistress waited for them at the door.

Mr Dashwood attended them downstairs, was introduced to Mrs Jennings at the door of her carriage, and repeating his hope of being able to call on them the next day, took leave.
