I imagine they are. They are quite good-natured with amiable, sensible parents.
[ Parents very unlike the ones Mary has. Even now among the revelry surrounding them she can still pick out the voice of her mother as she soaks in being the center of attention. Because who else but the lady of the house should be the one to lead the gossip circle in Longbourn? ]
They visited here a little over a year ago. It was quite a change to have them about, shaking the floorboards from their running or with voices carrying across the garden.
[ She watches the children that still have boundless energy continue to dance. They probably know little of what this celebration is about, but the fireworks, music, and food is probably enough for them to enjoy it. And in fact, it's enough for others as one of the footmen and a kitchen maid join in the dancing, laughing up a storm. It looks so lively and free, but Mary reminds herself that they are a different class. It is fine for them to be so familiar and cause such a ruckus, but for her it is improper. ]
