Then Henry inherited practically nothing Written by Glenn (9/5/2009 12:38 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, But *he* didn't have Ł4000 a year, penned by Barbara

I'm starting to get the picture. Uncle "Scrooge" Dashwood let Henry be a guest at his house for 18 years. He probably gave Henry some "pocket money" now and then. Henry only inherited Norland for one year and probably saved part of the Ł4,000 for his wife and daughters. It's a wonder that Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters didn't curse Uncle "Scrooge" along with John Dashwood. After all, it was the uncle that set up their future poverty. What a precarious life with all the appearance of wealth.
