The Mr Musgroves had their own game to guard， andto destroy； their own horses， dogs， and newspapers toengage them； and the females were fully occupied in allthe other common subjects of housekeeping， neighbours，dress， dancing， and music. She acknowledged it to bevery fitting that every little social commonwealth shoulddictate its own matters of discourse； and hoped， ere long，to become a not unworthy member of the one she wasnow transplanted into.—With the prospect of spending atleast two months at Uppercross， it was highly incumbenton her to clothe her imagination， her memory， and allher ideas in as much of Uppercross as possible.
She had no dread of these two months.Mary was notso repulsive and unsisterly as Elizabeth， nor so inaccessible to all influence of hers； neither was there anythingamong the other component parts of the cottage inimicalto comfort.—She was always on friendly terms with herbrother—in—law； and in the children， who loved her nearlyas well， and respected her a great deal more than theirmother， she had an object of interest， amusement， andwholesome exertion.
Charles Musgrove was civil and agreeable； in sense andtemper he was undoubtedly superior to his wife； but notof powers， or conversation， or grace to make the past， asthey were connected together， at all a dangerous contemplation； though， at the same time， Anne could believe，with Lady Russell， that a more equal match might havegreatly improved him； and that a woman of real understanding might have given more consequence to his character， and more usefulness， rationality， and elegance tohis habits and pursuits. As it was， he did nothing withmuch zeal， but sport； and his time was otherwise trifledaway， without benefit from books， or anything else.
