Many were the tears shed by them in their last adieus to a place so much beloved. "Dear, dear Norland!" said Marianne …And you, ye well-known trees! -- but you will continue the same. -- No leaf will decay because we are removed, nor any branch become motionless although we can observe you no longer! -- No; you will continue the same; unconscious of the pleasure or the regret you occasion, and insensible of any change in those who walk under your shade! -- But who will remain to enjoy you?" (5)

It appears the answer is no one. Marianne was more prescient than she knew in her tearful farewell to Norland. When one set of Dashwoods vacated the premises there really was no longer anyone to enjoy those amiable trees because John tells Elinor in Ch. 33 that Fanny’s green house will be:

"Upon the knoll behind the house. The old walnut trees are all come down to make room for it. It will be a very fine object from many parts of the park, and the flower-garden will slope down just before it, and be exceedingly pretty. We have cleared away all the old thorns that grew in patches over the brow."

Elinor kept her concern and her censure to herself; and was very thankful that Marianne was not present, to share the provocation. (Ch. 33)
