You have to have brains Okay, you got to be smart You got to know how because a pretty face can get you in a door But what are you going to do when you get in there? Exactly What do you got to talk about?  That's one thing I always tell people all the time if you because The game is you get around people who are higher up than you mentally financially in every aspect to motivate you right and why and But I see people who do that and they don't soak up game They're looking at everything that's materialistic instead of trying to gain knowledge Build networking. I mean all of that all they're so glamorized is by what's around you You know what I mean? So but there's two different kinds of people Yeah, the people who will take advantage of the knowledge they can gain and learn how to get up there and above themselves And the person who's just going to always stay in that room and not try to elevate Right. Well, you know, um Yeah, I mean I I sit back and I'm listening I'm looking through scrolling through your stuff really just being noses. Hey, oh, that's what I do Um to make sure I don't miss nothing, you know, I'm trying to figure out everything. Yeah, you know what I'm saying and and and so What who inspires you? um I don't know who inspires me the same question for you Who's something something what inspires you what what motivates you to keep pushing and pronging to be You know the best you you could be if there's No way you can just look out here and I see something that inspires Yeah, me seeing like well the people that i'm interviewing are way more I don't claim to know everything about the game. I'm a student of the game as well and I want to Get access to these people on way bigger levels than me to share that knowledge as well and and soak some game up in myself To apply in my coaching or whatever i'm doing, you know But um, my inspiration is really just seeing people that came from similar lifestyles like me that have been successful and made it That I know it is possible Man, I like it, but you have to have a good team. That's right. Let's go.  What drives them motivates you? So a great deal of who inspires me is like I know where I come from I know my legacy. Um, so a lot of my family of course inspires me, but Um, just your gurus in all the areas that I try to be excellent at It's all those gurus that I just continue to like pay attention to listen to the podcast. Um, I'm a loner a bunch of the times like I'm so fast-paced, but on the other side of things I will take a day a whole day to meditate And listen to angela davis.  I'll take hours. Yes. I'm a sacred woman, by the way. Oh, wow. Yeah, I got my certificate, you know It took me three times to do it But I was hours Wow, I think it's dope man, you know, um, so you were about to say something early Yes, um, I want you to tell me about a story about, um A success story that someone approached you, um about your boot camp and you helped them to graduate to the level they need to be um, so This girl that I know had came around and she was kind of like in a mess of situation And she had a couple kids and just Came from being in a relationship and being with a man who was taking care of her basically but in a Like marriage type situation Me I was in a different situation. I had a man taking care of me, but teaching me a lot of things at the same time um, and that kind of like it's nice to be taken care of but To um for her in her specific case she came around and I kind of like helped her Find childcare for her kids help her find some ways to hustle and now she's Modeling and she's in videos and music she goes on tour with people dancing like She's hustling in a different way Right, but that was because I helped her just kind of like with my network bring her around and tell her When you come to set and you're around a bunch of celebrities don't act like a groupie act like you're there to work Exactly be respected.  Don't be one of those bitches Come and stand strong and be a bad bitch and be about your money and have something to talk about Right and utilize that, you know So that's really um, and like I said, I'm building my brand I'm trying to lead by example And that's why I just want to bring the best content that I can that's like very inspiring and motivating From people in similar lifestyles so I can have way more success stories. What's up with hhf I mean you guys You link with kin. So I know your hhf man.  I do. I love the movement. Yeah, I do and I'll be at the hip hop fraternity awards Hey That stood out to you why you wanted to be a part of this Um, well personally, I'm not a part of hhf, but I respect everything that they do and um Ken is a big inspiration because he comes from similar background But like I said, that's another story But um, the inspiration is just seeing him come from the lifestyle he came from and building something inspiring people Around him as well.  Awesome. I love it, man I love just seeing people coming together and that's what I respect even in ken Like I mean he afford opportunity and create waves man where people get blessed and a lot of time I feel like you know a lot of times, you know People don't respect it on a level to where they give him his roses He opened a lot of doors for a lot of people and I think I've just been sitting back watching I'm a real og when it comes down to what I do and I you know, ain't no flaws Ain't no shaking is nothing. I had these discussions with my wife. I'd be like Man these dudes out here, you know When you when you get an opportunity to be around somebody to show you waves and open doors for your man Just don't don't take it for granted and count your blessings real talk I'ma say that and I say that with authority. You know, I'm saying So because you because that door won't keep opening for you not not if you don't respect it Right, you know, so I I definitely want to shout out pimkin because like I said Ever since I linked up with him, you know, he's been a blessing and he opened some doors, man And of course I got a lot of connections myself, but at the end of the day, you still got a show love That that humble boner keep you going. I promise So what's what would you like to see happen for for the brand in the near future? Like I get real specific We're now in the first quarter Not first quarter I start talking quarters, man, you know what I'm saying We still got your second quarter and your third quarter.  Well, you want to be? Um, I would like to have some type of like financial literacy like program for women Within the next two months. Um, I'm gonna start doing something like that. Yeah Because I'm talking first and second quarter. I'm talking around about june, july, right august third quarter coming in third quarter Um, what where are we at this year? These are the steps that I feel like you have to be focused on to make sure That that you not, you know, that you're not procrastinating that you're not just afford an opportunity just waiting to see what happens next Uh, that you're strategic, you know what I'm saying with what you got going because a lot of times people just shooting from the hip Right, so we got to get to a point where we're very strategic in what we're trying to do Right, and I think a lot of times people don't do that. So that's why I asked the questions I asked like what are we doing in the second quarter? What are we doing this?  I need more resources and I need more mentors because like I said, I'm not personally like The I'm not at the top of my where I could say I'm just like a pro at everything I'm still learning as I go as well And I respect the og's around me So I just want them to come and like let me be able to like my interviews that I'm doing I'm I'm sharing game with og's.

I'm making it through that door You know, and I think a lot of time you got to dig deep to do that You know, I mean you got a willing to you got to be willing to stretch You got to be willing to go places that you're never being You know, I mean you got to be able to do things that you never done You got to get into those uncomfortable situations Right so that you can grow I didn't I didn't want to take it there.

I'm also doing some virtual reality or augmented reality research in order to train the crew to do either a habitat maintenance task or to do certain EVA tasks like taking geological samples. You can do a lot of training before the mission but if you get into the mission and you can't really remember and the performance is not very good, perhaps you'd rather have trained yourself with VR immediately before doing the task and that just gives the crew so much more autonomy and freedom and independence in order to kind of design their own schedules. So I'm really hoping to be able to explore that topic and how it works.


You're an old dude now that's why.  So the thing is like when I want a camera that's going to get the job done this is the way to go. The 1V is a complete beast. It's a professional grade camera opposed to a manual SLR which I love to shoot with if I really want great shots. This is the guy. Do I tend to get in the line of fighting just walking there? What do you care about more about me getting hit or me dropping the camera? That's the question. Everybody here. Alright so I'm going to change it up a bit.  I don't know how expired it is. Let's see. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I'm just going to rate it at ISO 50 and see how it turns out. Usually you want to shoot at box speed when you're using T-Max and Diaphine. This is just an expired roll.


49 Unaccountable, however, as the circumstances of his release might appear to the whole family, it was certain that Edward was free, and to what purpose that freedom would be employed was easily predetermined by all, for after experiencing the blessings of one imprudent engagement, contracted without his mother's consent, as he had already done for more than four years, nothing less could be expected of him in the failure of that than the immediate contraction of another. His errand if bartoned, in fact, was a simple one. It was only to ask Eleanor to marry him, and considering that he was not altogether inexperienced in such a question, it might be strange that he should feel so uncomfortable in the present case as he really did, so much in need of encouragement and fresh air. How soon he had walked himself into the proper resolution, however, how soon an opportunity of exercising it occurred, in what manner he expressed himself and how he was received, need not be particularly told. This only need be said, that when they all sat down to table at four o'clock, about three hours after his arrival, he had secured his lady, engaged her mother's consent, and was not only in the rapturous profession of the lover, but in the reality of reason and truth one of the happiest of men. This situation indeed was more than commonly joyful. He had more than the ordinary triumph of accepted love to swell his heart and raise his spirits. He was released without any reproach to himself, from an entanglement which had long formed his misery, from a woman whom he had long ceased to love, and elevated it once to that security with another, which he must have thought of almost with despair, as soon as he had learnt to consider it with desire. He was brought, not from doubt or suspense, but from misery to happiness, and the change was openly spoken in such a genuine, flowing, grateful cheerfulness as his friends had never witnessed in him before. His heart was now open to Eleanor, all its weaknesses, all its errors confessed, and his first boyish attachment to Lucy treated with all the philosophic dignity of twenty-four. It was a foolish, idle inclination on my side, said he, the consequence of ignorance of the world, and want of employment. Had my brother given me some active profession when I was removed at eighteen, from the care of Mr. Pratt, I think, nay, I am sure, it would never have happened. For though I left long staple of what I thought at the time a most unconquerable preference for his niece, yet had I then had any pursuit, any object to engage my time and keep me at a distance from her for a few months, I should very soon have outgrown the fancied attachment, especially by mixing more with the world, as in such case I must have done. But instead of having anything to do, instead of having any profession chosen for me, or being allowed to choose any myself, I returned home to be completely idle, and for the first twelve months afterwards I had not even the nominal employment, which belonging to the university would have given me, for I was not entered at Oxford till I was nineteen. I had therefore nothing in the world to do but to fancy myself in love, and as my mother did not make my home in every respect comfortable, as I had no friend, no companion in my brother, and disliked new acquaintance, it was not unnatural for me to be very often at long staple, where I always felt myself at home, and was always sure of a welcome, and accordingly I spent the greatest part of my time there from eighteen to nineteen. Lucy appeared everything that was amiable and obliging. She was pretty too, at least I thought so then, and I had seen so little of other women that I could make no comparisons, and see no defects. Considering everything, therefore, I hope, foolish as our engagement was, foolish as it has since in every way been proved, it was not at the time an unnatural or an inexcusable piece of folly. The change which a few hours had wrought in the minds and the happiness of the dash woods was such so great as promised them all the satisfaction of a sleepless night. Mrs. Dashwood, too happy to be comfortable, knew not how to love Edward, nor praise Eleanor enough, how to be enough thankful for his release without wounding his delicacy, nor how it wants to give them leisure for unrestrained conversation together, and yet enjoy as she wished the sight and society of both. Marianne could speak her happiness only by tears. Comparisons would occur, regrets would arise, and her joy, though sincere as her love for her sister, was of a kind to give her neither spirits nor language. But Eleanor, how are her feelings to be described? From the moment of learning that Lucy was married to another, that Edward was free, to the moment of his justifying the hopes which had so instantly followed she was everything by turns but tranquil. But when the second moment had passed, when she found every doubt, every solicitude removed, compared her situation with what so lately it had been, saw him honorably released from his former engagement, saw him instantly profiting by the release to address herself and declare an affection as tender, as constant as she had ever supposed it to be, she was oppressed, she was overcome by her own felicity, and happily disposed as is the human mind to be easily familiarized with any change for the better, it required several hours to give sedateness to her spirits or any degree of tranquillity to her heart. Edward was now fixed at the cottage at least for a week. For whatever other claims might be made on him, it was impossible that less than a week should be given up to the enjoyment of Eleanor's company, or suffice to say half that was to be said of the past, the present, and the future, for though a very few hours spent in the hard labor of incessant talking will dispatch more subjects than can really be in common between any two rational creatures, yet with lovers it is different. Between them no subject is finished, no communication is even made, till it has been made at least twenty times over. Lucy's marriage, the unceasing and reasonable wonder among them all, formed, of course, one of the earliest discussions of the lovers, and Eleanor's particular knowledge of each party made it appear to her in every view as one of the most extraordinary and unaccountable circumstances she had ever heard. How they could be thrown together, and by what attraction Robert could be drawn on to marry a girl of whose beauty she had herself heard him speak without any admiration, a girl to already engage to his brother, and on whose account that brother had been thrown off by his family, it was beyond her comprehension to make out. To her own heart it was a delightful affair, and to her imagination it was even a ridiculous one, but to her reason, her judgment, it was completely a puzzle. Edward could only attempt an explanation by supposing that perhaps, at first accidentally meeting, the vanity of the one had been so worked on by the flattery of the other as to leave by degrees to all the rest. Eleanor remembered what Robert had told her in Harley Street, of his opinion of what his own mediation in his brother's affairs might have done, if applied to in time. She repeated it to Edward. That was exactly like Robert, was his immediate observation, and that, he presently added, might perhaps be in his head when the acquaintance between them first began, and Lucy perhaps at first might think only of procuring his good offices in my favour, other designs perhaps might afterward arise. How long it had been carrying on between them, however he was equally at a loss with herself to make out, for at Oxford, where he had remained for choice ever since his quitting London, he had had no means of hearing of her but from herself, and her letters to the very last were neither less frequent nor less affectionate than usual. Not the smallest suspicion therefore had ever occurred to prepare him for what followed, and when at last it burst on him in a letter from Lucy herself, he had been for some time, he believed, half stupefied between the wonder, the horror, and the joy of such a deliverance. He put the letter into Eleanor's hands. Dear sir, being very certain I have long lost your affections, I have thought myself at liberty to bestow my own on another, and have no doubt of being as happy with him as I once used to think I might be with you, but I scorned to accept a hand while the heart was another's. Sincerely wish you happy in your choice, and it shall not be my fault if we are not always good friends, as our near relationship now makes proper.  Your brother has gained my affections entirely, and as we could not live without one another, we are just returned from the altar, and are now on our way to dolish for a few weeks, which place your dear brother has great curiosity to see, but thought I would first trouble you with these few lines, and shall always remain your sincere well-wisher, friend, and sister, Lucy Farrars. I have burnt all your letters, and will return your picture the first opportunity, pleased to destroy my scrawls, but the ring with my hair you are very welcome to keep. Eleanor read and returned it without any comment. I will not ask your opinion of it as a composition, said Edward, for worlds would not I have had a letter of hers seen by you in former days. In a sister it is bad enough, but in a wife. How I have blushed over the pages of her writing, and I believe I may say that since the first half year of our foolish business this is the only letter I ever received from her of which the substance made me any amends for the defect of the style. However it may have come about, said Eleanor after a pause.  The independence she settled on Robert, through resentment against you, has put it in his power to make his own choice, and she has actually been bribing one son with a thousand a year to do the very deed which she disinherited the other for intending to do. She will hardly be less hurt, I suppose, by Robert's marrying Lucy than she would have been by your marrying her. She will be more hurt by it, for Robert always was her favorite. She will be more hurt by it, and on the same principle will forgive him much sooner. In what state the affair stood at present between them, Edward knew not, for no communication with any of his family had yet been attempted by him. He had quitted Oxford within four and twenty hours after Lucy's letter arrived, with only one object before him, the nearest road to Barton, had had no leisure to form any scheme of conduct, with which that road did not hold the most intimate connection. He could do nothing till he was assured of his fate with Miss Dashwood, and by his rapidity in seeking that fate, it is to be supposed, in spite of the jealousy with which he had once thought of Colonel Brandon, in spite of the modesty with which he rated his own desserts, and the politeness with which he talked of his doubts. He did not, upon the whole, expect a very cruel reception. It was his business, however, to say that he did, and he said it very pritally. What he might say on the subject a twelve-month after must be referred to the imagination of husbands and wives. That Lucy had certainly meant to deceive, to go off with the flourish of malice against him in her message by Thomas, was perfectly clear to Eleanor, and Edward himself, though thoroughly enlightened on her character, had no scruple in believing her capable of the utmost meanness of wantonial nature.  Nothing but such a persuasion could have prevented his putting an end to the engagement, which, long before the discovery of it, laid him open to his mother's anger, had been a continual source of disquiet and regret to him. "'I thought it my duty,' said he, independent of my feelings, to give her the option of continuing the engagement or not, when I was renounced by my mother, and stood to all appearance without a friend in the world to assist me. In such a situation as that, whether seem nothing to tempt the avarice or the vanity of any living creature, how could I suppose, when she so earnestly, so warmly insisted on sharing my fate, whatever it might be, that anything but the most disinterested affection was her inducement? And even now I cannot comprehend on what motive she acted, or what fancy advantage it could be to her, to be fettered to a man by whom she had not the smallest regard, and who had only two thousand pounds in the world. She could not foresee that Colonel Brandon would give me a living.' "'No, but she might suppose that something would occur in your favour, that your own family might in time relent. And at any rate she lost nothing by continuing the engagement, or she has proved that it fettered neither her inclination nor her actions. The connection was certainly a respectable one, and probably gained her consideration among her friends, and if nothing more advantageous occurred it would be better for her to marry you than be single.' Edward was, of course, immediately convinced that nothing could have been more natural than Lucy's conduct, nor more self-evident than the motive of it. Valinor scolded him, harshly as ladies always scold the imprudence which complements themselves, for having spent so much time with them at Norland when he must have felt his own inconstancy. "'Your behaviour was certainly very wrong,' said she. "'Because, to say nothing of my own conviction, our relations were all led away by it to fancy and expect what, as you were then situated, could never be.' He could only plead an ignorance of his own heart and a mistaken confidence in the force of his engagement. "'I was simple enough to think that because my faith was plighted to another there could be no danger in my being with you, and that the consciousness of my engagement was to keep my heart as safe and sacred as my honour. I felt that I admired you, but I told myself it was only friendship. Until I began to make comparisons between yourself and Lucy, I did not know how far I was got. After that I suppose I was wrong in remaining so much in Sussex, and the arguments with which I reconciled myself to the expediency of it were no better than these. The danger is my own. I am doing no injury to anybody but myself.' Edward heard with pleasure of Colonel Brandon's being expected at the cottage, as he really wished not only to be better acquainted with him, but to have an opportunity of convincing him that he no longer resented his giving him the living of Delaford. "'Which at present,' said he, after thanks so ungraciously delivered as mine were on the occasion, he must think I have never forgiven him for offering.' Now he felt astonished himself that he had never yet been to the place, but so little interest had he taken in the matter that he owed all his knowledge of the house, garden, and gleeb, extent of the parish, condition of the land, and rate of the tithes, to Eleanor herself, who had heard so much of it from Colonel Brandon, and heard it with so much attention as to be entirely mistress of the subject. One question after this only remained undecided. Between them one difficulty only was to be overcome. They were brought together by mutual affection, with the warmest approbation of their real friends, their intimate knowledge of each other seemed to make their happiness certain, and they only wanted something to live upon. Edward had two thousand pounds, and Eleanor one, which with Delaford living, was all that they could call their own. For it was impossible that Mrs. Dashwood should advance anything, and they were neither of them quite enough in love to think that three hundred and fifty pounds a year would supply them with the comforts of life. Edward was not entirely without hopes of some favorable change in his mother towards him, and on that he rested for the residue of their income. But Eleanor had no such dependence, for since Edward would still be unable to marry Miss Morton, and his choosing herself had been spoken of in Mrs. Farrar's flattering language as only a lesser evil than his choosing Lucy Steele, she feared that Robert's offence would serve no other purpose than to enrich Fanny. About four days after Edward's arrival Colonel Brandon appeared to complete Mrs. Dashwood's satisfaction, and to give her the dignity of having for the first time since her living at Barton, more company with her than her house would hold. Edward was allowed to retain the privilege of first-comer, and Colonel Brandon therefore walked every night to his old quarters at the park, from whence he usually returned in the morning, early enough to interrupt the lover's first tete-a-tete before breakfast. A three weeks residence at Delaford, where, in his evening hours at least, he had little to do but to calculate the disproportion between thirty-six and seventeen, brought him to Barton in a temper of mind which needed all the improvement in Marianne's looks, all the kindness of her welcome, and all the encouragement of her mother's language, to make it cheerful. Among such friends, however, and such flattery, he did revive. No rumour of Lucy's marriage had yet reached him. He knew nothing of what had passed, and the first hours of his visit were consequently spent in hearing and in wondering. Everything was explained to him by Mrs. Dashwood, and he found fresh reason to rejoice in what he had done for Mr. Ferrar's, since eventually it promoted the interest of Eleanor. It would be needless to say that the gentlemen advanced in the good opinion of each other, as they advanced in each other's acquaintance, for it could not be otherwise. Their resemblance in good principles and good sense, in disposition and manner of thinking, would probably have been sufficient to unite them in friendship without any other attraction. But their being in love with two sisters, and two sisters fond of each other, made that mutual regard inevitable and immediate, which might otherwise have waited the effect of time and judgment. The letters from town, which a few days before would have made every nerve in Eleanor's body thrill with transport, now arrived to be read with less emotion than mirth. Mrs. Jennings wrote to tell the wonderful tale to vent her honest indignation against the jilting girl, and pour forth her compassion towards poor Mr. Edward, who, she was sure, had quite doted upon the worthless hussy, and was now by all accounts almost broken-hearted at Oxford. I do think, she continued, nothing was ever carried on so sly, for it was but two days before Lucy called and sat a couple of hours with me. Not a soul suspected anything of the matter, not even Nancy, who, poor soul, came crying to me the day after, in a great fright for fear of Mrs. Ferrar's, as well as not knowing how to get to Plymouth, for Lucy it seems borrowed all her money before she went off to be married, on purpose we suppose, to make a show with, and poor Nancy had not seven shillings in the world. So I was very glad to give her five guineas to take her down to Exeter, where she thinks of staying three or four weeks with Mrs. Burgess, in hopes, as I tell her, to fall in with the doctor again. And I must say that Lucy's crossness not to take them along with them in the shez is worse than all. Poor Mr. Edward, I cannot get him out of my head, but you must send for him to Barton, and Miss Marianne must try to comfort him. Mr. Dashwood's strains were more solemn. Mrs. Ferrar's was the most unfortunate of women. Poor Fanny had suffered agonies of sensibility, and he considered the existence of each under such a blow with grateful wonder. Robert's offence was unpardonable, but Lucy's was infinitely worse. Neither of them were ever again to be mentioned to Mrs. Ferrar's, and even if she might hereafter be induced to forgive her son, his wife should never be acknowledged as her daughter, nor be permitted to appear in her presence. The secrecy with which everything had been carried on between them was rationally treated as enormously heightening the crime, because, had any suspicion of it occurred to the others, proper measures would have been taken to prevent the marriage, and he called on Eleanor to join with him in regretting that Lucy's engagement with Edward had not rather been fulfilled, than that she should thus be the means of spreading misery further in the family. He thus continued, Mrs. Ferrar's has never yet mentioned Edward's name, which does not surprise us, but to our great astonishment not a line has been received from him on the occasion. Perhaps, however, he is kept silent by his fear of offending, and I shall therefore give him a hint, by a line to Oxford, that his sister and I both think a letter of proper submission from him, addressed perhaps to Fanny, and by her shown to her mother, might not be taken amiss, for we all know the tenderness of Mrs. Ferrar's heart, and that she wishes for nothing so much as to be on good terms with her children. This paragraph was of some importance to the prospects and conduct of Edward. It determined him to attempt a reconciliation, though not exactly in the manner pointed out by their brother and sister. A letter of proper submission, repeated he, would they have me beg my mother's pardon for Robert's ingratitude to her, and breach of honour to me? I can make no submission. I am grown neither rumble nor penitent by what has passed. I am grown very happy, but that would not interest. I know of no submission that is proper for me to make. You may certainly ask to be forgiven, sit Eleanor, because you have offended, and I should think you might now venture so far as to profess some concern for having ever formed the engagement which drew on you your mother's anger. He agreed that he might. And when she has forgiven you, perhaps a little humility may be convenient, while acknowledging a second engagement, almost imprudent in her eyes as the first. He had nothing to urge against it, but still resisted the idea of a letter of proper submission, and therefore to make it easier to him, as he declared a much greater willingness to make mean concessions by word of mouth than on paper, it was resolved that, instead of writing to Fanny, he should go to London and personally entreat her good offices in his favour. And if they really do interest themselves, said Marianne, in her new character of candour, in bringing about a reconciliation, I shall think that even John and Fanny are not entirely without merit. After a visit on Colonel Brandon's side of only three or four days, the two gentlemen quitted Barton together. They were to go immediately to Delaford, that Edward might have some personal knowledge of his future home, and assist his patron and friend in deciding on what improvements were needed to it. And from thence, after staying there a couple of nights, he was to proceed on his journey to town. CHAPTER 50 OF SENSE AND SENSIBILITY After a proper resistance on the part of Mrs. Ferrar's, just so violent and so steady as to preserve her from that reproach which she always seemed fearful of incurring, the reproach of being too amiable, Edward was admitted to her presence, and pronounced to be, again, her son. Her family had, of late, been exceedingly fluctuating. For many years of her life she had had two sons, but the crime and annihilation of Edward a few weeks ago had robbed her of one. The similar annihilation of Robert had left her for a fortnight without any, and now, by the resuscitation of Edward, she had one again. In spite of his being allowed once more to live, however, he did not feel the continuance of his existence secure till he had revealed his present engagement, for the publication of that circumstance, he feared, might give a sudden turn to his constitution and carry him off as rapidly as before. With apprehensive caution, therefore it was revealed, and he was listened to with unexpected calmness. Mrs. Ferrar's at first reasonably endeavored to dissuade him from marrying Miss Dashwood, by every argument in her power, told him that in Miss Morton he would have a woman of higher rank and larger fortune, and enforced the assertion, by observing that Miss Morton was the daughter of a nobleman with thirty thousand pounds, while Miss Dashwood was only the daughter of a private gentleman with no more than three. But when she found that, though perfectly admitting the truth of her representation, he was by no means inclined to be guided by it, she judged it wisest from the experience of the past to submit, and therefore, after such an ungracious delay as she owed to her own dignity, and has served to prevent every suspicion of good will, she issued her decree of consent to the marriage of Edward and Elinor. What she would engage to do towards augmenting their income was next to be considered, and here it plainly appeared, that though Edward was now her only son, he was by no means her eldest. For while Robert was inevitably endowed with a thousand pounds a year, not the smallest objection was made against Edward's taking orders for the sake of two hundred and fifty at the utmost, nor was anything promised either for the present or in future beyond the ten thousand pounds which had been given with Fanny. It was as much, however, as was desired, and more than was expected by Edward and Elinor, and Mrs. Ferrar's herself, by her shuffling excuses, seemed the only person surprised at her not giving more. With an income quite sufficient to their wants, thus secured to them, they had nothing to wait for after Edward was in possession of the living, but the readiness of the house, to which Colonel Brandon, with an eager desire for the accommodation of Elinor, was making considerable improvements, and after waiting some time for their completion, after experiencing, as usual, a thousand disappointments and delays from the unaccountable dilatoriousness of the workman, Elinor, as usual, broke through the first positive resolution of not marrying till everything was ready, and the ceremony took place in Barton Church, early in the autumn. The first month after their marriage was spent with their friend at the mansion house, from whence they can superintend the progress of the parsonage and direct everything as they liked on the spot, could choose papers, project shrubberies, and invent a sweep. Mrs. Jennings's prophecies, though rather jumbled together, were chiefly fulfilled, for she was able to visit Edward and his wife in their parsonage by Michaelmus, and she found in Elinor and her husband, as she really believed, one of the happiest couples in the world. They had in fact nothing to wish for, but the marriage of Colonel Brandon and Marianne, and rather better pastridge for their cows. They were visited on their first settling by almost all their relations and friends. Mrs. Ferrar's came to inspect the happiness which she was almost ashamed of having authorized, and even the Dashwoods were at the expense of a journey from Sussex to do them honour. I will not say that I am disappointed, my dear sister," said John as they were walking together one morning before the gates of Delofford House. That would be saying too much, for certainly you have been one of the most fortunate young women in the world, as it is. But I confess it would give me great pleasure to call Colonel Brandon brother. His property here, his place, his house, everything is in such respectable and excellent condition. And his woods. I have not seen such timber anywhere in Dorseture, as there is now standing in Delofford Hangar. And though perhaps Marianne may not seem exactly the person to attract him, yet I think it would altogether be advisable for you to have them now frequently staying with you. For as Colonel Brandon seems a great deal at home, nobody can tell what may happen, for when people are much thrown together and see little of anybody else, and it will always be in your power to set her off to advantage and so forth, in short, you may as well give her a chance. You understand me. But though Mrs. Ferrar's did come to see them, and always treated them with the make-believe of decent affection, they were never insulted by her real favour and preference. That was due to the folly of Robert and the cunning of his wife, and it was earned by them before many months had passed away. The selfish sagacity of the latter, which had at first drawn Robert into the scrape, was the principal instrument of his deliverance from it. For her respectful humility, assiduous attentions and endless flatteries, as soon as the smallest opening was given for their exercise, reconciled Mrs. Ferrar's to his choice, and re-established him completely in her favour. The whole of Lucy's behaviour in the affair, and the prosperity which crowned it, therefore, may be held forth as a most encouraging instance of what an earnest and unceasing attention to self-interest, however its progress may be apparently obstructed, will do in securing every advantage of fortune, with no other sacrifice than that of time and conscience. When Robert first sought her acquaintance, and privately visited her in Bartlett's buildings, it was only with the view imputed to him by his brother. He merely meant to persuade her to give up the engagement, and as there could be nothing to overcome but the affection of both, he naturally expected that one or two interviews would settle the matter. In that point, however, and that only, he aired, for though Lucy soon gave him hopes that his eloquence would convince her in time, another visit, another conversation, was always wanted to produce this conviction. Some doubts always lingered in her mind when they parted, which could only be removed by another half-hour's discourse with himself. His attendance was by this means secured, and the rest followed in course. Instead of speaking of Edward, they came gradually to talk only of Robert, a subject on which he had always more to say than on any other, and in which she soon betrayed an interest even equal to his own, and in short it became speedily evident to both that he had entirely supplanted his brother. He was proud of his conquest, proud of tricking Edward, and very proud of marrying privately without his mother's consent. What immediately followed is known. They passed some months in great happiness at Dallish, for she had many relations and old acquaintances to cut, and he drew several plans for magnificent cottages, and from thence returning to town procured the forgiveness of Mrs. Ferrar's by the simple expedient of asking it, which at Lucy's instigation was adopted. The forgiveness at first indeed, as was reasonable, comprehended only Robert and Lucy, who had owed his mother no duty and therefore could have transgressed none, still remained some weeks longer, unpardoned. But perseverance and humility of conduct and messages in self-condemnation for Robert's offense, and gratitude for the unkindness she was treated with, procured her in time the haughty notice which overcame her by its graciousness, and led soon afterwards, by rapid degrees, to the highest state of affection and influence. Lucy became as necessary to Mrs. Ferrar's as either Robert or Fanny, and while Edward was never cordially forgiven for having once intended to marry her, and Eleanor, though superior to her infortune and birth, was spoken of as an intruder.  They settled in town, received very liberal assistance from Mrs. Ferrar's, were on the best terms imaginable with the dash-woods, and setting aside the jealousies and ill-will continually subsisting between Fanny and Lucy, in which their husbands, of course, took apart, as well as the frequent domestic disagreements between Robert and Lucy themselves. Nothing could exceed the harmony in which they all lived together. What Edward had done to forfeit the right of eldest son might have puzzled many people to find out, and what Robert had done to succeed to it might have puzzled them still more. It was an arrangement, however, justified in its effects, if not in its cause, for nothing ever appeared in Robert's style of living or of talking, to give a suspicion of his regretting the extent of his income, as either leaving his brother too little, or bringing himself too much. And if Edward might be judged from the ready discharge of his duties in every particular, from an increasing attachment to his wife and his home, and from the regular cheerfulness of his spirits, he might be supposed no less contented with his lot, no less free from every wish of an exchange. Eleanor's marriage divided her as little from her family as could well be contrived, without rendering the cottage at Barton entirely useless, for her mother and sisters spent much more than half their time with her. Mrs. Dashwood was acting on motives of policy, as well as pleasure, and the frequency of her visits at Delofford, for her wish of bringing Marianne and Colonel Brandon together was hardly less earnest, though rather more liberal than what John had expressed. It was now her darling object. Precious as was the company of her daughter to her, she desired nothing so much as to give up its constant enjoyment to her valued friend, and to see Marianne settled at the mansion-house was equally the wish of Edward and Eleanor. They each felt his sorrows and their own obligations, and Marianne, by general consent, was to be the reward of all. With such a confederacy against her, with a knowledge so intimate of his goodness, with a conviction of his fond attachment to herself, which at last, though long after it was observable to everybody else, burst on her, what could she do? Marianne Dashwood was born to an extraordinary fate. She was born to discover the falsehood of her own opinions, and to counteract by her conduct her most favorite maxims. She was born to overcome an affection form so late in life as at seventeen, and with no sentiments superior to strong esteem and lively friendship, voluntarily to give her hand to another. And that other, a man who had suffered no less than herself under the event of a former attachment, whom two years before she had considered too old to be married, and who still sought the constitutional safeguard of a flannel waistcoat. But so it was. Instead of falling a sacrifice to an irresistible passion, as once she had fondly flattered herself with expecting, instead of remaining even forever with her mother and finding her only pleasures in retirement and study as afterwards in her more calm and sober judgment she had determined on, she found herself at nineteen, submitting to new attachments, entering on new duties, placed in a new home, a wife, the mistress of a family, and the patroness of a village. Colonel Brandon was now as happy as all those who best loved him, believed he deserved to be. In Marianne he was consoled for every past affliction, her regard and her society restored his mind to animation and his spirits to cheerfulness, and that Marianne found her own happiness in forming his, was equally the persuasion and delight of each observing friend. Marianne could never love by halves, and her whole heart became, in time, as much devoted to her husband as it had once been to Willoughby. Willoughby could not hear of her marriage without a pang, and his punishment was soon afterwards to complete in the voluntary forgiveness of Mrs. Smith, who, by stating his marriage with a woman of character, as the source of her clemency, gave him reason for believing that had he behaved with honour towards Marianne he might at once have been happy and rich. That his repentance of misconduct, which thus brought its own punishment, was sincere, could not be doubted, nor that he longed thought of Colonel Brandon with envy, and of Marianne with regret, but that he was for ever inconsolable, that he fled from society, or contracted an habitual gloom of temper, or died of a broken heart, must not be depended upon. For he did neither, he lived to exert and frequently to enjoy himself. His wife was not always out of humour, nor is home always uncomfortable, and in his breed of horses and dogs, and in sporting of every kind, he found no inconsiderable degree of domestic felicity. For Marianne, however, in spite of his incivility and surviving her loss, he always retained that decided regard which interested him in everything that befell her, and made her his secret standard of perfection in woman, and many a rising beauty would be slighted by him in after-days as bearing no comparison with Mrs. Brandon. Mrs. Dashwood was prudent enough to remain at the cottage, without attempting a removal to Delaford, and fortunately for Sir John and Mrs. Jennings, when Marianne was taken from them, Margaret had reached an age highly suitable for dancing, and not very ineligible for being supposed to have a lover. Between Barton and Delaford there was that constant communication which strong family affection would naturally dictate, and among the merits and the happiness of Eleanor and Marianne let it not be ranked as the least considerable that, though sisters, and living almost within sight of each other, they could live without disagreement between themselves or producing coolness between their husbands.
