Chapter 6 Flashcards
How is Sir John Middleton described?
“Sir John Middleton was a good-looking man… his countenance was thoroughly good-humoured; and his manners were as friendly as the style of his letter.”
“His kindness was a not confined to words; for within an hour after he left them, a large basket full of garden stuff and fruit arrived from the Park, which was followed before the end of the day by a present of game”
How is Lady Middleton described?
“Lady Middleton was not tall and striking, and her address graceful. Her manners had all the elegance which her husband’s wanted. But they would have been improved by some share of his frankness and warmth”
How are the Middleton’s social interactions?
“Conversation, however, was not wanted, for Sir John was very chatty, and Lady Middleton had taken the wise precaution of bringing with her their eldest child… by which means there was one subject always to be recurred to by the ladies in case of extremity”
