Spare you very well

Hello,


ELINOR: Mrs Jennings, you are very kind, but we cannot possibly leave our mother...

MRS JENNINGS: Your mother can spare you very well.

MRS DASHWOOD: Of course I can!

Sense and Sensibility (1995 Film)

Mrs Jennings wanted to take Elinor to London but Elinor was hesitant because she didn’t want to leave her mother (MRS DASHWOOD). Mrs Dashwood assured her daughter she would be all right. How can I interpret “spare” here?
