What about her jointure? Written by Vanessa M (11/26/2006 11:31 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, If it were just this sentence..., penned by Reeba

Is the charge of the income on the estate in addition to her jointure left to her from her husband? If that is so, then perhaps it makes sense for Jane to complain about it, if Mrs Knight was amply provided for by other means.
