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.

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.

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!
