But one or the other, if not both of them, I must have. Lord bless me! how do you think I can live poking by myself, I who have been always used till this winter to have Charlotte with me. Come, Miss Marianne, let us strike hands upon the bargain, and if Miss Dashwood will change her mind by-and-bye, why, so much the better."
"I thank you, ma'am, sincerely thank you," said Marianne, with warmth; "your invitation has insured my gratitude for ever, and it would give me such happiness, yes almost the greatest happiness I am capable of, to be able to accept it. But my mother, my dearest, kindest mother, -- I feel the justice of what Elinor has urged, and if she were to be made less happy, less comfortable by our absence -- Oh! no, nothing should tempt me to leave her. It should not, must not be a struggle."
