sport�察  �and   his   time   was   otherwise   trifled   away�察  �without   benefit 

from books or anything else。 He had very good spirits�察�which never 

seemed much affected by his wife¨s occasional lowness�察�bore with 

her unreasonableness sometimes to Anne¨s admiration�察�and upon 

the   whole�察  �though   there   was   very   often   a   little   disagreement   ��in 

which     she   had    sometimes      more    share    than   she   wished�察    �being 

appealed to by both parties���察�they might pass for a happy couple。 

They   were   always   perfectly   agreed   in   the   want   of   more   money�察�

and a strong  inclination   for  a   handsome present  from   his   father�察�

but here�察�as on most topics�察�he had the superiority�察�for while Mary 

thought   it   a   great   shame   that   such   a   present   was   not   made�察  �he 

always contended for his father¨s having  many  other  uses   for  his 

money�察�and a right to spend it as he liked。 

    As   to  the   management  of  their  children�察  �his   theory   was   much 

better    than    his  wife¨s�察  �and    his  practice    not   so  bad。!^I      could 

manage them very well�察�if it were not for Mary¨s   interference�察院� 

was what Anne often heard him say�察�and had a good deal of faith 

in�察  �but   when    listening    in  turn   to  Mary¨s    reproach      of  ^Charles 

spoils the children so that I cannot get them into any order�察院�she 

never had the smallest temptation to say�察 �Very true。 ̄ 

    One of the least agreeable circumstances of her residence there 

was her being treated with too much confidence by all parties�察�and 

being   too   much   in   the   secret   of   the   complaints     of  each   house。 

Known to have some influence with her sister�察�she was continually 

requested�察�or at least receiving hints to exert it�察�beyond what was 

practicable。   ^I   wish   you   could   persuade   Mary   not   to   be   always 

fancying herself ill�察院�was Charles¨s language�察�and�察  �in   an   unhappy 

mood�察�thus   spoke   Mary!^I do  believe   if  Charles   were   to  see me 

dying�察�he would not think there was anything the matter with me。

I   am   sure�察  �Anne�察  �if   you   would�察  �you   might   persuade   him   that   I 

really am very ill!a great deal worse than I ever own。 ̄ 

    Mary¨s     declaration     was�察    �I  hate   sending     the  children     to  the 

Great House�察�though their grandmamma is always wanting to see 

them�察  �for  she   humours   and   indulges   them   to  such a   degree�察  �and 

gives them so much trash and sweet things�察�that they are sure to 

come      back   sick   and   cross   for   the  rest   of  the  day。 ̄!And        Mrs。 

Musgrove took the first opportunity of being alone   with  Anne�察 �to 

say�察   �Oh�   �Miss   Anne�察  �I   cannot   help   wishing   Mrs。   Charles   had   a 

little of your method with those children。 They are quite different 

creatures with you� �But to be sure�察�in general they are so spoilt� �It 

is a pity you cannot put your sister in the way of managing them。 

They   are   as   fine   healthy   children   as   ever   were   seen�察  �poor   little 

dears�察  �without   partiality�察  �but   Mrs。   Charles   knows   no   more   how 

they    should     be  treated� �Bless        me�察  �how    troublesome       they    are 

sometimes� �I   assure   you�察  �Miss   Anne�察  �it   prevents   my   wishing   to 

see them at our house so often as I otherwise should。 I believe Mrs。 

Charles is not quite pleased with my not inviting them oftener�察�but 

you   know   it   is   very   bad   to   have   children   with   one   that   one    is 

obligated to be checking  every  moment�察   �don¨t  do  this�察�and   don¨t 

do   that�察�!or   that   one   can   only   keep   in   tolerable   order   by   more 

cake than is good for them。 ̄ 

    She     had   this   communication�察        �moreover�察     �from    Mary。     ^Mrs。 

Musgrove thinks all her servants so steady�察�that it would be high 

treason to call it in question�察�but I am sure�察�without exaggeration�察�

that her upper house´maid and laundry´maid�察�instead of being in 

their business�察�are gadding about the village�察�all day long。 I meet 

them     wherever      I  go�察 �and    I  declare�察  �I  never    go   twice   into   my 

nursery without seeing something of them。 If Jemima were not the

trustiest�察  �steadiest   creature   in   the   world�察  �it   would   be   enough   to 

spoil her�察�for she tells me�察�they are always tempting her to take a 

walk with them。 ̄ And on Mrs。 Musgrove¨s side�察�it was�察�^I make a 

rule of never interfering in any of my daughter´in´law¨s concerns�察�

for I know it would not do�察�but I shall tell you�察�Miss Anne�察�because 

you may be able to set  things   to  rights�察  �that  I   have no  very  good 

opinion   of  Mrs。   Charles¨s   nursery´maid�此  �I   hear   strange   stories   of 

her�察  �she  is   always   upon   the  gad�察�and   from my  own   knowledge�察  �I 

can declare�察�she is such a fine´dressing lady�察�that she is enough to 

ruin   any   servants   she   comes   near。   Mrs。   Charles   quite   swears   by 

her�察�I know�察�but I just give you this hint�察�that you may be upon the 

watch�察�because�察�if you see anything amiss�察�you need not be afraid 

of mentioning it。 ̄ 

    Again�察  �it   was   Mary¨s   complaint�察  �that   Mrs。   Musgrove   was   very 

apt   not   to   give   her   the   precedence   that   was   her   due�察  �when   they 

dined at the Great House with other families�察�and she did not see 

any reason why she was to be considered so much at home as to 

lose her place。 And one day when Anne was walking with only the 

Musgroves�察�one of them after talking of rank�察�people of rank�察�and 

jealousy of rank�察�said�察 �I have no scruple of observing to you�察�how 

nonsensical   some   persons   are   about   their   place�察  �because   all   the 

world knows how easy and indifferent you are about it�察�but I wish 

anybody could give Mary a hint that it would be a great deal better 

if   she   were   not   so   very   tenacious�察  �especially   if   she   would   not   be 

always putting  herself  forward   to   take   place   of   mamma。   Nobody 

doubts   her  right  to  have   precedence   of  mamma�察  �but   it   would   be 

more becoming in her not to be always insisting on it。 It is not that 

mamma cares about it the least in the world�察�but I know it is taken 

notice of by many persons。 ̄

    How was Anne to set all these matters to rights�拭�She could do 

little   more     than   listen   patiently�察    �soften   every    grievance�察     �and 

excuse   each   to   the   other�察  �give   them   all   hints   of   the   forbearance 

necessary   between   such   near   neighbours�察  �and   make   those   hints 

broadest which were meant for her sister¨s benefit。 

    In all other respects�察�her  visit began  and   proceeded   very  well。 

Her own spirits improved by change of place and subject�察�by being 

removed three miles from Kellynch�察�Mary
