The plan reproduced in Nigel Nicholson's Godmersham Park, Kent: Before, During and After Jane Austen's Time shows it as the north-facing room at the bottom left, one wall entirely windows and-if the plan is to scale, which we cannot take for granted-the largest room in the house (20-21). ...what Louisa describes-and very entertainingly at that-is a hunting, fishing, and shooting kind of a family, who love outdoor activities of all kinds. ...in 1878 she joined her niece Cassandra Hill, living out her final years in Ireland. Louisa Lushington describes Marianne in 1821, just as she has taken on the responsibility of being mistress of Godmersham Park on the marriage of her elder sister, Fanny: Miss Knight, the eldest unmarried daughter is about nineteen & has management of the family, table etc. she is very pretty in every way, face, and figure, large hazel eyes, pretty nose, very small mouth, a good complexion with a good deal of colour, her face is rather round than oval, and she has very pretty brown hair, dark eye-brows, and eye lashes.
