2 People that marry can never part, but must go and keep house together.
3 Fletcher and I mean to get a house in Leicestershire, against the next season.

5 She was all impatience to see the house, and had scarcely any curiosity about the grounds.
6 She should take her time; she should not hurry herself; she did not care if she were the last person up in the house.
7 She reached the house without any impediment, looked at the number, knocked at the door, and inquired for Miss Tilney.
8 With all the chances against her of house, hall, place, park, court, and cottage, Northanger turned up an abbey, and she was to be its inhabitant.
9 In a house so furnished, and so guarded, she could have nothing to explore or to suffer, and might go to her bedroom as securely as if it had been her own chamber at Fullerton.
10 Hour after hour passed away, and the wearied Catherine had heard three proclaimed by all the clocks in the house before the tempest subsided or she unknowingly fell fast asleep.
11 The house stands among fine meadows facing the south-east, with an excellent kitchen-garden in the same aspect; the walls surrounding which I built and stocked myself about ten years ago, for the benefit of my son.
