Miss
Churchill
,
however
,
being
of
age
,
and
with
the
full
command
of
her
fortune
--
though
her
fortune
bore
no
proportion
to
the
family-estate
--
was
not
to
be
dissuaded
from
the
marriage
,
and
it
took
place
,
to
the
infinite
mortification
of
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Churchill
,
who
threw
her
off
with
due
decorum
.
It
was
an
unsuitable
connexion
,
and
did
not
produce
much
happiness
.
Mrs.
Weston
ought
to
have
found
more
in
it
,
for
she
had
a
husband
whose
warm
heart
and
sweet
temper
made
him
think
every
thing
due
to
her
in
return
for
the
great
goodness
of
being
in
love
with
him
;
but
though
she
had
one
sort
of
spirit
,
she
had
not
the
best
.
She
had
resolution
enough
to
pursue
her
own
will
in
spite
of
her
brother
,
but
not
enough
to
refrain
from
unreasonable
regrets
at
that
brother
's
unreasonable
anger
,
nor
from
missing
the
luxuries
of
her
former
home
.
They
lived
beyond
their
income
,
but
still
it
was
nothing
in
comparison
of
Enscombe
:
she
did
not
cease
to
love
her
husband
,
but
she
wanted
at
once
to
be
the
wife
of
Captain
Weston
,
and
Miss
Churchill
of
Enscombe
.
Captain
Weston
,
who
had
been
considered
,
especially
by
the
Churchills
,
as
making
such
an
amazing
match
,
was
proved
to
have
much
the
worst
of
the
bargain
;
for
when
his
wife
died
,
after
a
three
years
'
marriage
,
he
was
rather
a
poorer
man
than
at
first
,
and
with
a
child
to
maintain
.
From
the
expense
of
the
child
,
however
,
he
was
soon
relieved
.
The
boy
had
,
with
the
additional
softening
claim
of
a
lingering
illness
of
his
mother
's
,
been
the
means
of
a
sort
of
reconciliation
;
and
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Churchill
,
having
no
children
of
their
own
,
nor
any
other
young
creature
of
equal
kindred
to
care
for
,
offered
to
take
the
whole
charge
of
the
little
Frank
soon
after
her
decease
.
Some
scruples
and
some
reluctance
the
widower-father
may
be
supposed
to
have
felt
;
but
as
they
were
overcome
by
other
considerations
,
the
child
was
given
up
to
the
care
and
the
wealth
of
the
Churchills
,
and
he
had
only
his
own
comfort
to
seek
,
and
his
own
situation
to
improve
as
he
could
.
A
complete
change
of
life
became
desirable
.
He
quitted
the
militia
and
engaged
in
trade
,
having
brothers
already
established
in
a
good
way
in
London
,
which
afforded
him
a
favourable
opening
.
It
was
a
concern
which
brought
just
employment
enough
.
He
had
still
a
small
house
in
Highbury
,
where
most
of
his
leisure
days
were
spent
;
and
between
useful
occupation
and
the
pleasures
of
society
,
the
next
eighteen
or
twenty
years
of
his
life
passed
cheerfully
away
.
He
had
,
by
that
time
,
realised
an
easy
competence
--
enough
to
secure
the
purchase
of
a
little
estate
adjoining
Highbury
,
which
he
had
always
longed
for
--
enough
to
marry
a
woman
as
portionless
even
as
Miss
Taylor
,
and
to
live
according
to
the
wishes
of
his
own
friendly
and
social
disposition
.
It
was
now
some
time
since
Miss
Taylor
had
begun
to
influence
his
schemes
;
but
as
it
was
not
the
tyrannic
influence
of
youth
on
youth
,
it
had
not
shaken
his
determination
of
never
settling
till
he
could
purchase
Randalls
,
and
the
sale
of
Randalls
was
long
looked
forward
to
;
but
he
had
gone
steadily
on
,
with
these
objects
in
view
,
till
they
were
accomplished
.
He
had
made
his
fortune
,
bought
his
house
,
and
obtained
his
wife
;
and
was
beginning
a
new
period
of
existence
,
with
every
probability
of
greater
happiness
than
in
any
yet
passed
through
.
He
had
never
been
an
unhappy
man
;
his
own
temper
had
secured
him
from
that
,
even
in
his
first
marriage
;
but
his
second
must
shew
him
how
delightful
a
well-judging
and
truly
amiable
woman
could
be
,
and
must
give
him
the
pleasantest
proof
of
its
being
a
great
deal
better
to
choose
than
to
be
chosen
,
to
excite
gratitude
than
to
feel
it
.
He
had
only
himself
to
please
in
his
choice
:
his
fortune
was
his
own
;
for
as
to
Frank
,
it
was
more
than
being
tacitly
brought
up
as
his
uncle
's
heir
,
it
had
become
so
avowed
an
adoption
as
to
have
him
assume
the
name
of
Churchill
on
coming
of
age
.
It
was
most
unlikely
,
therefore
,
that
he
should
ever
want
his
father
's
assistance
.
His
father
had
no
apprehension
of
it
.
The
aunt
was
a
capricious
woman
,
and
governed
her
husband
entirely
;
but
it
was
not
in
Mr.
Weston
's
nature
to
imagine
that
any
caprice
could
be
strong
enough
to
affect
one
so
dear
,
and
,
as
he
believed
,
so
deservedly
dear
.
He
saw
his
son
every
year
in
London
,
and
was
proud
of
him
;
and
his
fond
report
of
him
as
a
very
fine
young
man
had
made
Highbury
feel
a
sort
of
pride
in
him
too
.
He
was
looked
on
as
sufficiently
belonging
to
the
place
to
make
his
merits
and
prospects
a
kind
of
common
concern
.
Mr.
Frank
Churchill
was
one
of
the
boasts
of
Highbury
,
and
a
lively
curiosity
to
see
him
prevailed
,
though
the
compliment
was
so
little
returned
that
he
had
never
been
there
in
his
life
.
His
coming
to
visit
his
father
had
been
often
talked
of
but
never
achieved
.
Now
,
upon
his
father
's
marriage
,
it
was
very
generally
proposed
,
as
a
most
proper
attention
,
that
the
visit
should
take
place
.
There
was
not
a
dissentient
voice
on
the
subject
,
either
when
Mrs.
Perry
drank
tea
with
Mrs.
and
Miss
Bates
,
or
when
Mrs.
and
Miss
Bates
returned
the
visit
.
Now
was
the
time
for
Mr.
Frank
Churchill
to
come
among
them
;
and
the
hope
strengthened
when
it
was
understood
that
he
had
written
to
his
new
mother
on
the
occasion
.
For
a
few
days
,
every
morning
visit
in
Highbury
included
some
mention
of
the
handsome
letter
Mrs.
Weston
had
received
.
"
I
suppose
you
have
heard
of
the
handsome
letter
Mr.
Frank
Churchill
has
written
to
Mrs.
Weston
?
I
understand
it
was
a
very
handsome
letter
,
indeed
.
Mr.
Woodhouse
told
me
of
it
.
Mr.
Woodhouse
saw
the
letter
,
and
he
says
he
never
saw
such
a
handsome
letter
in
his
life
.
