for very many years there had been dashwoods living in ., sussex, in the south of england. the family owned a large area of land around their country house, norland park. recently the head of the family, an unmarried man of great age, had invited into his home his nephew, who was expected to inherit the house and land, with his wife and children. the nephew, mr henry dashwood, and his wife behaved kindly and thoughtfully towards the old gentleman, not from interest in his fortune, but from goodness of heart, so that he was able to spend his last years comfortably with these pleasant and cheerful companions. by his first wife mr henry dashwood had one son, john; by his present wife, three daughters. john, a respectable, serious young man, had received a large inheritance from his mother, and had also added to his wealth by his own marriage. to him, therefore, the norland fortune was not as important as to his sisters, who had very little money of their own. when the old gentleman died, it was discovered that he had not left his fortune to henry dashwood to do what he liked with, but only to use during his lifetime. on henry dashwood's death, the inheritance would pass to his son john, and to john's son, a child of four years old. the old man had become fond of the small boy on his occasional visits to norland, and so a spoilt child was preferred to henry dashwood's gentle wife and daughters, in spite of their years of loving care. no unkindness had been intended, however, and as a sign of his affection for the girls, the old gentleman left them one thousand pounds each. at first mr henry dashwood was bitterly disappointed, as he had wanted the fortune more for his wife and daughters than for himself. but he soon realized that if he was careful with money in the next few years, he could save enough to provide generously for his family. unfortunately, he did not live to carry out this plan, as he survived his uncle by only one year, and ten thousand pounds was all that remained for his widow and daughters.
