Persuasion Chapter 2

from The Austen Library · host Jane Austen

In which we observe the careful deliberations of Lady Russell and Mr Shepherd as they endeavour to guide Sir Walter towards the necessary but unwelcome economy that must be embraced to preserve honour and credit. The prospect of relinquishing Kellynch Hall and the company chosen by Elizabeth reveals the delicate tensions of pride, propriety, and influence within a family faced with change.
