A room or two can easily be added; and if my friends find no difficulty in travelling so far to see me, I am sure I will find none in accommodating them." She concluded with a very kind invitation to Mr.and Mrs.John Dashwood to visit her at Barton; and to Edward she gave one with still greater affection.

Though her late conversation with her daughter-in-law had made her resolve on remaining at Norland no longer than was unavoidable, it had not produced the smallest effect on her in that point to which it principally tended.

To separate Edward and Elinor was as far from being her object as ever; and she wished to show Mrs.
John Dashwood, by this pointed invitation to her brother, how totally she disregarded her disapprobation of the match.
Mr.John Dashwood told his mother again and again how exceedingly sorry he was that she had taken a house at such a distance from Norland as to prevent his being of any service to her in removing her furniture.

He really felt conscientiously vexed on the occasion; for the very exertion to which he had limited the performance of his promise to his father was by this arrangement rendered impracticable.-- The furniture was all sent around by water.

It chiefly consisted of household linen, plate, china, and books, with a handsome pianoforte of Marianne's.
Mrs.John Dashwood saw the packages depart with a sigh: she could not help feeling it hard that as Mrs.Dashwood's income would be so trifling in comparison with their own, she should have any handsome article of furniture.
Mrs.Dashwood took the house for a twelvemonth; it was ready furnished, and she might have immediate possession.
