Sir Thomas's return made a striking change in the ways of the family, independent of Lovers' Vows1. Under his government, Mansfield was an altered place. Some members of their society sent away, and the spirits of many others saddened-- it was all sameness and gloom compared with the past-- a sombre family party rarely enlivened.
