-Many were the tears shed by them in their last adieus to a place so much beloved. 'Dear, dear Norland!' said Marianne , as she wandered alone before the house, on the last evening of their being there; 'when shall I cease to regret you?---when learn to feel a home elsewhere?---O happy house! could you know what I suffer in now viewing you from this spot, from whence perhaps I may view you no more!---and you, ye well-known trees!--- but you will continue the same.---No leaf will decay because we are removed, nor any branch become motionless although we can observe you no longer!---No; you will continue the same; unconscious of the pleasure or the regret you occasion, and insensible of any change in those who walk under your shade!---But who will remain to enjoy you?

-Marianne
