soliciting a family´visit�察�and bounded their views to carrying back
one Daughter with them�察 �no difficulties were started。 It was
general pleasure and consent。!Their invitation was to Miss
Charlotte Heywood�察 �a very pleasing young woman of two and
twenty�察 �the eldest of the Daughters at home�察 �and the one�察 �who
under her Mother¨s directions had been particularly useful and
obliging to them�察 �who had attended them most�察 �and knew them
best。!Charlotte was to go�察�with excellent health�察�to bathe and be
better if she could!to receive every possible pleasure which
Sanditon could be made to supply by the gratitude of those she
went with!and to buy new Parasols�察 �new Gloves�察 �and new
Broches�察 �for her sisters and herself at the Library�察 �which Mr。 P。
was anxiously wishing to support。!All that Mr。 Heywood himself
could be persuaded to promise was�察�that he would send everyone
to Sanditon�察 �who asked his advice�察 �and that nothing should ever
induce him ��as far as the future could be answered for�� to spend
even five shillings at Brinshore。

CHAPTER III
very neighbourhood should have a great Lady。!The great
ELady of Sanditon�察 �was Lady Denham�察 �and in their
Journey from Willingden to the Coast�察 �Mr。 Parker gave
Charlotte a more detailed account of her�察�than had been called for
before。!She had been necessarily often mentioned at
Willingden�察�for being his Colleague in Speculation�察 �Sanditon
itself could not be talked of long�察�without the introduction of Lady
Denham and that she was a very rich old Lady�察 �who had buried
two Husbands�察 �who knew the value of Money�察 �was very much
looked up to and had a poor Cousin living with her�察 �were facts
already well known�察 �but some further particulars of her history
and her Character served to lighten the tediousness of a long Hill�察�
or a heavy bit of road�察 �and to give the visiting Young Lady a
suitable Knowledge of the Person with whom she might now
expect to be daily associating。!Lady D。 had been a rich Miss
Brereton�察�born to Wealth but not to Education。 Her first Husband
had been a Mr。 Hollis�察 �a man of considerable Property in the
Country�察 �of which a large share of the Parish of Sanditon�察 �with
Manor and Mansion House made a part。 He had been an elderly
Man when she married him�察�her own age about thirty。!Her
motives for such a Match could be little understood at the distance
of forty years�察�but she had so well nursed and pleased Mr。 Hollis�察�
that at his death he left her everything!all his Estates�察�and all at
her Disposal。 After a widowhood of some years�察 �she had been
induced to marry again。 The late Sir Harry Denham�察 �of Denham

Park in the Neighbourhood of Sanditon had succeeded in
removing her and her large Income to his own Domains�察 �but he
could not succeed in the views of permanently enriching his
family�察 �which were attributed to him。 She had been too wary to
put anything out of her own Power!and when on Sir Harry¨s
Decease she returned again to her own House at Sanditon�察 �she
was said to have made this boast to a friend `that though she had
got nothing but her Title from the Family�察 �still she had given
nothing for it。¨!For the Title�察�it was to be supposed that she had
married!and Mr。 P。 acknowledged there being just such a degree
of value for it apparent now�察 �as to give her conduct that natural
explanation。 `There is at times�察� said he!`a little self´importance!
but it is not offensive�察�and there are moments�察�there are points�察�
when her Love of Money is carried greatly too far。 But she is a
goodnatured Woman�察 �a very goodnatured Woman�察�a very
obliging�察 �friendly Neighbour�察 �a chearful�察 �independant�察 �valuable
character�察�and her faults may be entirely imputed to her want of
Education。 She has good natural Sense�察�but quite uncultivated。!
She has a fine active mind�察�as well as a fine healthy frame for a
Woman of seventy�察�and enters into the improvement of Sanditon
with a spirit truly admirable!though now and then�察�a Littleness
will appear。 She cannot look forward quite as I would have her!
and takes alarm at a trifling present expence�察�without considering
what returns it will make her in a year or two。 That is!we think
differently�察 �we now and then�察 �see things differently�察 �Miss H。!
Those who tell their own Story you know must be listened to with
Caution。!When you see us in contact�察 �you will judge for
yourself。¨!Lady D。 was indeed a great Lady beyond the common
wants of Society!for she had many Thousands a year to

bequeath�察�and three distinct sets of People to be courted by�察 �her
own relations�察 �who might very reasonably wish for her Original
Thirty Thousand Pounds among them�察 �the legal Heirs of Mr。
Hollis�察�who must hope to be more endebted to her sense of Justice
than he had allowed them to be to his�察�and those Members of the
Denham Family�察�whom her second Husband had hoped to make a
good Bargain for。!By all of these�察 �or by Branches of them�察 �she
had no doubt been long�察�and still continued to be�察�well attacked�察�
and of these divisions�察 �Mr。 P。 did not hesitate to say that Mr。
Hollis¨ Kindred were the least in favour and Sir Harry Denham¨s
the most。!The former he believed�察 �had done themselves
irremediable harm by expressions of very unwise and unjustifiable
resentment at the time of Mr。 Hollis¨s death�察�the Latter�察 �to the
advantage of being the remnant of a Connection which she
certainly valued�察 �joined those of having been known to her from
their Childhood�察 �and of being always at hand to preserve their
interest by reasonable attention。 Sir Edward�察�the present Baronet�察�
nephew to Sir Harry�察�resided constantly at Denham Park�察�and Mr。
P。 had little doubt�察�that he and his Sister Miss D。 who lived with
him�察 �would be principally remembered in her Will。 He sincerely
hoped it。!Miss Denham had a very small provision!and her
Brother was a poor Man for his rank in Society。 `He is a warm
friend to Sanditon¨!said Mr。 Parker!`and his hand would be as
liberal as his heart�察 �had he t
