Then he continued, "And in return for all that, Fan. and for my love the love I have felt for you since I saw you on that evening at Norland Square I should only ask you to be my friend still, but with a sweeter, closer, more precious friendship than you have hitherto had for me."
To quit the neighbourhood of Norland was no longer an evil; it was an object of desire; it was a blessing, in comparison of the misery of continuing her daughter-in-law's guest; and to remove for ever from that beloved place would be less painful than to inhabit or visit it while such a woman was its mistress.
Fan got the letter on a Saturday morning, and when the shop closed at two she hastened home to change her dress, and then started for Norland Square, where she arrived about half-past three o'clock.
As such, however, they were treated by her with quiet civility; and by her husband with as much kindness as he could feel towards anybody beyond himself, his wife, and their child. He really pressed them, with some earnestness, to consider Norland as their home; and, as no plan appeared so eligible to Mrs.
One other short call in Harley Street, in which Elinor received her brother's congratulations on their travelling so far towards Barton without any expense, and on Colonel Brandon's being to follow them to Cleveland in a day or two, completed the intercourse of the brother and sisters in town; and a faint invitation from Fanny, to come to Norland whenever it should happen to be in their way, which of all things was the most unlikely to occur, with a more warm, though less public, assurance, from John to Elinor, of the promptitude with which he should come to see her at Delaford, was all that foretold any meeting in the country.

"Margaret," said Marianne with great warmth, "you know that all this is an invention of your own, and that there is no such person in existence."
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.
Hilary Leigh was astounded, for knowing what he did he expected that the lieutenant would have instantly divined what seemed patent to him that Sir Henry Norland was trying, for some reason or another, to get back to England, and that although the lugger was commanded by an Englishman, she was undoubtedly a French chasse maree from Saint Malo.
Brave and honest though she was, she could not in this instance bear to tell the plain truth. They were hurriedly leaving Norland Square, she said; they were going away she did not say how far, but left the other to infer that it was to a great distance.
"She shall not," said Mr Peeper; "I am the sole judge in matters of the kind." "Let us hear Phil's song in the mean time," said Reginald. "Come, Lorimer." "What shall it be?" said Phil. "Something comic," said Sir Bryan. "Something bloody," said Hasket of Norland. "Something loving," said Maulerer of Phascald. "Will the lady decide for us?" said Phil, with a smile.
