He liked very much to have his friends come and see him; and from various united causes, from his long residence at Hartfield, and his good nature, from his fortune, his house, and his daughter, he could command the visits of his own little circle, in a great measure, as he liked.
Он очень любил, когда к нему приходили друзья и, по совокупности разных причин - таких, как старожительство в Хартфилде и прирожденное радушие, как богатство, и дом, и дочь, - мог большей частью регулировать дружественные визиты в пределах своего тесного кружка, как ему нравилось.
