without a rival�察�as having  the   fairest  chance   of  succeeding  to  the 

greater part of all that she had to give!but there was now another 

person¨s claims   to   be   taken   into   the   account�察  �those   of   the   young 

female relation�察  �whom   Lady  D。   had been   induced  to  receive   into 

her    Family。     After    having    always     protested     against    any    such 

Addition�察�and long and often enjoyed the repeated defeats she had 

given   to   every   attempt   of   her   relations   to   introduce   this   young 

Lady�察�or that young Lady as a Companion at Sanditon House�察�she 

had brought back   with  her  from   London   last  Michaelmas   a   Miss 

Brereton�察  �who   bid   fair   by   her   Merits   to   vie   in  favour   with   Sir 

Edward�察�and to secure for herself and her family that share of the 

accumulated   Property  which  they  had   certainly   the   best   right   to 

inherit。!Mr。       Parker   spoke      warmly     of  Clara    Brereton�察   �and    the 

interest of his story increased very much with the introduction of 

such  a   Character。   Charlotte   listened   with   more   than   amusement 

now�察�it       was     solicitude    and     Enjoyment�察      �as   she    heard     her 

described   to   be   lovely�察  �amiable�察  �gentle�察  �unassuming�察  �conducting 

herself uniformly with great good sense�察�and evidently gaining by 

her    innate    worth�察   �on  the   affections    of  her   Patroness。!Beauty�察�

Sweetness�察�Poverty and Dependance�察�do not want the imagination 

of a Man to operate upon。 With due exceptions!Woman feels for 

Woman        very     promptly      and    compassionately。         He    gave     the 

particulars which had led to Clara¨s admission at Sanditon�察�as no 

bad   exemplification   of   that   mixture   of   Character�察  �that   union   of 

Littleness   with   Kindness   with   Good   Sense   with   even   Liberality 

which he saw in Lady D。!After having avoided London for many 

years�察   �principally   on   account      of  these   very   Cousins�察    �who    were 

continually   writing�察  �inviting   and   tormenting   her�察  �and   whom   she 

was determined to keep at a distance�察�she had been obliged to go

a fortnight。!She had gone to an Hotel!living by her own account 

as prudently as possible�察�to defy the reputed expensiveness of such 

a home�察�and at the end of three Days calling for her Bill�察�that she 

might judge of her state。!Its amount was such as determined her 

on staying not another hour in the House�察�and she was preparing 

in   all  the  anger   and    perturbation     which   a   belief  of  very   gross 

imposition there�察�and an ignorance of where to go for better usage�察�

to leave the Hotel at all hazards�察�when the Cousins�察�the politic and 

lucky     Cousins�察    �who    seemed      always    to   have    a  spy    on   her�察�

situation�察�persuaded her to accept such a home for the rest of her 

stay   as   their   humbler   house   in   a   very   inferior   part   of   London�察�

hospitality and attention she received from every body!found her 

good Cousins the B。s beyond her expectation worthy people!and 

finally   was    impelled    by   a  personal    knowledge      of  their   narrow 

Income and pecuniary difficulties�察�to invite one of the girls of the 

family to pass the Winter with her。 The invitation was to one�察 �for 

six months!with the probability of another being then to take her 

place�察�but in selecting the one�察�Lady D。 had shewn the good part 

of   her   Character!for        passing    by   the  actual   daughters     of   the 

House�察  �she   had   chosen   Clara�察  �a   Niece�察  �more   helpless   and   more 

pitiable     of   course    than     any!a      dependant       on   Poverty!an 

additional Burthen on an encumbered Circle!and one�察 �who  had 

been     so   low   in  every    worldly    view�察  �as   with   all  her    natural 

endowments   and   powers�察  �to   have   been   preparing   for   a   situation 

little better than a Nursery Maid。!Clara had returned with her!

had     long   been    over!and       not   a  syllable    was    breathed     of  any 

change�察�or exchange。!She was a general favourite�察�the influence 

of   her    steady    conduct     and    mild�察   �gentle    Temper      was    felt  by 

everybody。   The   prejudices   which   had           met   her   at   first   in   some 

quarters�察�were all dissipated。 She was felt to be worthy of Trust! 

to be the very companion who would guide and soften Lady D。! 

who   would   enlarge   her   mind   and   open   her   hand。!She   was   as 

thoroughly  amiable   as   she   was   lovely!and  since   having   had   the
