And that stupid Spring war… it’s mentioned like 3 times already again same way.

Another annoying thing is repeating that Bloodraven is a bastard but legitimised and how many eyes does he have? 1001…

I can’t stand the repetitions, like I’ll clout you on the ears threats or the girl who’s too tall but not too tall for me! How many times can the author repeat himself, he could at least rephrase it in different ways…He said those like 20 times!

Emma had only one friend, who got married, and she felt like nobody else was worthy enough of spending time with her. She was melancholic because of that, but her father was more depressed thinking that woman would never be happy away from them and her husband didn’t think of her happiness. Emma tried to cheer him up by proposing to visit the newlyweds.

would give him some money, but she feared Fanny and Robert would get it all.

would be more hurt by it as he was her favourite but also forgive him quicker. After he received the letter he quickly left to go to Elinor. He said at first he thought Elinor was only a friend to him, but later compared her to Lucy and realized he loved her. He then described house from Brandon given to him. He had 2k and she had 1k pounds, they knew it wasn’t enough for living comfortably. He hoped his mother

He came back later asked to marry Elinor who agreed. He explained when he was younger he was shy and thought Lucy was pretty and promised to marry her at the time. Lucy sent him a letter that she thinks he doesn’t love her anymore and they should be friends as she will marry Robert. Elinor thought this is best punishment on herself, by giving money to Robert for same act she took it from Edward. He thought she

Edward came on horseback and they waited in silence for him. Mother asked about Mrs. Ferrars, he spoke of his mother, and then about his brother’s wife Lucy. They were all waiting impatiently. Elinor run out of the door and cried, Edward went outside to the village without a word.

They heard from their servant Mr. Feerars got married, they assumed he was talking about Edward. If people used full names this would be avoided… They all got distressed. Their mother thought she was inattentive to Elinor and didn’t say anything thinking it would only make her sadness greater.

The three of them were talking about it later, Elinor said that Marianne doesn’t have experience and even if she would be frugal, he is in self denial about things and isn’t used to not spending a lot of money and was always selfish, so they wouldn’t be happy. Marianne realized her happiness wasn’t his goal. He thinks only about himself his misery and his boring wife worse than Marianne in his eyes.

That’s when Elinor told everything to Marianne, who cried in silence and asked her to tell mother about it and went to her room to be alone.

Elinor didn’t tell Marianne about meeting with Willoughby, until Marianne told her that she realized she was selfish thinking only she could be miserable and wasn’t a good friend to her and could’ve acted better like Elinor with Edward. Marianne said she would forget Willoughby and focus on her family and their happiness.

Their mother said Brandon told her he loved Marianne. She said she would support him in pursuing his daughter and kept praising him, saying his manners were great and disposition would make Marianne happy. She then continued to imagine them living not far, as if they were already planning a marriage soon.

Their mother arrived soon with Brandon and Elinor thought how to tell Marianne what she heard. She thought it would make Marianne want to be with Willoughby even more and wished for his wife to die, but then thought of Brandon and wished her sister would be with him instead.

said that he felt agony because of that, like he was the victim here. Elinor told him she pitied him and said goodbye. Before he left he said how unhappy he is by Marianne to Brandon, and she is lost to him forever even if he wasn’t married in the future. Such a selfish awful person!

Elinor said he shouldn’t speak so ill of his wife. He said she doesn’t deserve compassion, as she knew everything before they were married. He asked if he’s less guilty and his intentions weren’t always wrong. Elinor said she thinks of him a little better. He asked her to tell Marianne of his misery. Elinor agreed, asking how does he know about Marianne’s disease. Sir John told him she is dying. Again he

He said he used to stalk them in London hiding at stores to be hidden from them, while watching them often… Then complained at the party where Marianne was giving him her hand and looking at him with bewitching eyes and his agony. He said the letter he sent to Marianne was written by his new wife, he only rewrote it. He kept complaining how he’s seen poorly by the society and had to give up momentous of her.

He was with Marianne for his vanity, but became attached to her after her showing him such honest love for him. Elinor was upset by his indifference to the woman he married for money. He kept talking about his dilemma of love or money, and fear of being poor won. He spoke how miserable he was telling Marianne he had to leave and their mother torturing him by her kindness. Tedious trip to his wife etc. Woe is me!

her own judgement thinking it wasn’t any harsh disease. At night Marianne got worse, who asked about her mother. Brandon went to get their mother. Elinor heard a carriage and thought it’s their mother, but it was Willoughby. She didn’t want to spak with him, but was curious and sat down. He wanted her to hate him less by explanation of his behaviour and to get forgiveness. He said he wanted to marry for fortune

Marianne got sick, Brandon trusted like others that sleep and rest would cure her. Later when that didn’t help they called a doctor, who said it’s infection, so Palmers left them. Mrs. Jennings told Brandon to stay with Elinor and Marianne. She said she doesn’t believe Marianne would ever get better, which made Brandon anxious. On the 3rd day doctor said that she’s much better. Elinor was happy to listen to

Robert entered the room and John left. He laughed at Edward being a clergyman and living in a small place. He said Edward is good hearted but ruined forever. The girls went with Mrs. Jennings and the Palmers. Marianne kept walking alone in the countryside. Elinor barely saw Mr. Palmer and found him pleasant besides to his wife and her mother, but selfish, rude and seemed superior to others.

Their step brother said that Edward’s mother was very affectionate and despite disinheriting her son she still was worried about him.The woman she chose for future wife for him before that didn’t care which brother she would marry and Robert seemed better since he would get all the money of the family, and non of them is more superior to another. He also told Elinor that mother would prefer Elinor to marry Edward

When Lucy found out about Brandon giving money to her and Edward made her very happy and she kept praising Brandon and Elinor all the time. She seemed still happy to marry Edward.

disinherited and left with no money by his mother when she found out. Elinor was the one to give him the news. Later she went to Fanny and their step brother out of obligation as family, while the other two stayed home. She didn’t see Fanny, but her step brother said that he believed Brandon gave a place to live to Edward only because someone who bought it couldn’t mov in yet. Elinor told him he was mistaken

Elinor and Marianne stayed in London with Mrs. Jennings. Marianne kept looking for Willoughby everywhere until a party where she talked to him and he was cold as if he barely knew her. Then she was depressed the rest of the time. Brandon came to visit them few times but she kept ignoring him, he finally offered to give money for living to Edward so he could marry Lucy, as he thought they loved each other and he was

They met Lucy and her sister.Both liked Elinor a lot instantly and tried to get close to her. Elinor thought she lacked education and wasn’t authentic and often quite strange. Lucy kept asking about Edward’s family especially mother. Lucy told her about a secret engagement to Edward, which Elinor took well, not showing her emotions. Makes me wonder how lonely and sick could she get from holding it all in all life

Elinor was alone at home when Sir John came with Mrs Jennings and introduced her to Charlotte Palmer, her daughter, and Charlotte’s husband Mr Palmer. They were complete opposites, he didn’t say anything and read his newspaper, while she kept talking and laughing all the time.

When Edward went away Elinor tried to not show more sadness than the rest of her family, not to avoid his name and kept busy working at a table, without seeking solitude. She tried her best not to show her feelings and disappointment. She did that also to not worry her family, while Marianne thought it’s strange.

Ch19 their mother told Edward it would be good if he had some occupation to do while he’s not with friends, to have a specific direction in life. He thought a lot about it, but because his friends are so nice he became an idle, helpless being. He liked church, but his family wanted him to be better in army, law, navy, and since he didn’t need any profession. It’s easier to be idle than to work according to him.

that led to wishful thinking, without objectively assessing the situation, as well as maybe Elinor wanted the kind of love her sister had, as Marianne gave her hair to Willoughby who passionately kissed them and kept them close.
