When Edward's wife died, he arranged for his mother and sisters to live in a cottage on his estate, and Jane saw her nieces and nephews almost daily. They were also invited for meals and celebrations.
Jane's brother Frank rented a cottage nearby, and then rented the Great House for several years. Frank and his wife had 11 children too!
Can you imagine reading aloud to a flock of children in this nook? Her niece claimed that Jane read "just like a play."
