1 As he said this, each looked towards their mother.
2 Why, child, I have but this moment escaped from his horrible mother.
3 Mrs. Norris is much better fitted than my mother for having the charge of you now.
4 Vexed as Edmund was with his mother and aunt, he was still more angry with himself.
5 To be neglected before one's time must be very vexatious; but it was entirely the mother's fault.
6 Your mother is quite anxious about it, but cannot very well spare time to sit down herself, because of her fringe.
7 Their mother had no objection to the plan, and they were not in the least afraid of their father's disapprobation.

10 You can have no reason, I imagine, madam," said he, addressing his mother, "for wishing Fanny not to be of the party, but as it relates to yourself, to your own comfort.
11 As Mr. Rushworth did not come, the injury was increased, and she had not even the relief of shewing her power over him; she could only be sullen to her mother, aunt, and cousin, and throw as great a gloom as possible over their dinner and dessert.
