The Palmers are going to go to Cleveland, which is only a few miles from Bristol, which means that the girls should be within a day’s journey from home. Marianne initially resists this idea as it would bring them very close to Somersetshire, where Willoughby is based, but the thought of soon being home calms her down. Mrs. Jennings announces their departure to Colonel Brandon, and he then engaged Elanor in a deep conversation, which Mrs. Jennings confused to be a sort of proposal.What the two were actually talking about was very different. The Colonel asks about Edward’s current situation and mentions that he heard that Edward wanted to take orders. Elanor confirms this, and he follows it up by saying that the curacy in his area is recently vacated, and that if Edward would like it, he may have it. Elanor understands that she must be the one to deliver the news instead of the Colonel. Elanor then comes to say that he is sure that Lucy and he would love the job there, which confuses Colonel Brandon, and he asks if he is still insisting on marrying Lucy, as the salary of the curacy would never be enough to support a family…SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

The Dashwood girls are still recovering from the news, however. After a few more days pass, the weather is surprisingly very good, and the whole city seems to go to Kensington gardens, and Elanor and Mrs. Jenning’s go to see them. After a few minutes, they come across Miss Anne Steele, who seems very pleased to see them. Mrs. Jennings begs Elanor to ask Anne about everything that passed between Edward and his family since they were kicked out. And after confirming that neither Lady Middleton nor Mrs. Jennings are upset with her or her sister, Anne goes to tell Elanor about everything that happened between Edward and her sister. Three days passed before Edward visited Lucy, he apparently stayed in an inn and gathered his thoughts. When he came to Lucy, he announced that he would understand if she broke the engagement off, as he now has no money, but Lucy said that she wouldn’t. Anne proclaims that they are very happy together, and Edward intends to go into orders as soon a possible, after he finishes some business in Oxford. Anne then lets out that she was listening to this information from the other side of the door. Elanor is disgusted by Anne and tries to change the subject, but Anne continues on. Eventually she meets her friends again and leaves Elanor with Mrs. Jennings, to whom she recounts Anne’s information to. The following morning Lucy sends a letter to Elanor, thanking her for he kindness, and tells her that she and Edward are very happy together, and asks that if she knows anyone looking for a curate, that she should put Edward forward for it…SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

    Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 37, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:After doing her rounds to visit her daughter, Mrs. Jennings comes to Elanor with some gossip. She comes to say, that Mrs John Dashwood is ill, and has been seen by a doctor who happened to be seeing Charlotte’s newborn just after being to the Dashwood’s place. Mrs. Jenning’s then goes on to explain that Anne let slip to Fanny that Edward and Lucy have been engaged for the past year. This threw Fanny into hysterics and she, only after her husband’s pleading with her to let them pack their bags first, threw the Miss Steeles out of their house. Elanor is shocked by this account and while she manages to keep her cool before Mrs. Jennings, she feels deeply shocked by what has happened. She then goes to Marianne and tells her of all that has passed. Marianne is distraught by the news and cries all throughout Elanor’s recounting of Mrs. Jenning’s story and of her knowledge of the affair. Only after Elanor says truly how hurt she was by Lucy’s announcement does Marianne believe that her sister truly cared about it. Marianne then laments about how hard it must have been for Elanor to deal with what happened to her and also with what happened to herself. Following this Elanor urges Marianne not to be angry with Edward for his actions, and she does, though very upset with him. The following day, their brother comes to visit and talk through everything that happened at their house too. He explains what happened once Mrs. Ferrars heard the news, and more importantly what happened once Edward arrived… Mrs. Ferrars, Fanny, and John all apparently demanded that Edward end the engagement immediately, and no matter how severe the punishment for keeping it, Edward refuses. John then explains that Mrs. Ferras has vowed to make sure that Edward shall never be able to find a decent job, that he shall only have his 2000 pounds to live off of, and that she will bestow the estate that Edward was to inherit, on his brother, Robert. Mrs. Jennings finds Edwards actions very noble and offers, if the occasion were to arise, to invite Edward to stay with her while he gets onto his feet. John doesn’t wish to offend her, so he doesn’t say anything, and though Marianne wishes to, she remembers her promise to her sister. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak
