Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen




Chapter 35.

Elinor’s curiosity to see Mrs. Ferrars was satisfied. She saw all the difficulties her engagement with Edward would have. On the contrary, Lucy was so happy to meet them. Both of them were talking about the meeting when the servant entered and announced Mr. Ferrars visit. He walked into the room and felt the awkward situation that was happening. Elinor tried to be as polite and educated as she can and tried to avoid the weird looks of Lucy. When Marianne entered the room the mood immediately changed. She was so happy to see Edward that all her problems went away. After awhile, Edward announced his departure and Lucy went with him. Marianne kept wondering why Lucy is always around, while Elinor understands this situation from the secret she kept painfully.

Chapter 36

The newspaper announced the deliver of Mr. Palmer’s son. So, Mrs. Jennings changed her schedule. Mrs. John Dashwood sent invitations for everybody to attend a dance party at her house, sending her carriage to pick them up. At this party, Elinor met Robert Ferrars who talked about how nice would be to live in a small cottage. Mr. Dashwood thought on inviting his sisters to stay at his home, however his wife said NO in such a way that he did not doubt. She said she already thought about inviting Miss Steeles to stay. She sent a letter to materialize this invitation; leaving the possibility of inviting the Dashwood’s in another moment. Lucy was so happy just to imagine staying near Edward’s family.
