"Children of the same family, the same blood,……" — Jane Austen
"Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if suchprecious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived."
