Marianne believes that the weather will soon change and bring Willoughby into town. They go into town and deliver letters to all of Mrs. Jenning’s acquaintances, and they all feel a change in the weather. Mrs. Jennings is treating the Dashwood girls with the greatest kindness, and Elanor is actually happy to be in the city. Colonel Brandon visits them every day, and Elanor fears that his feelings for Marianne are growing stronger… Eventually a letter to Marianne from Willoughby arrives, and Marianne is now more anxious than ever and refuses to do anything but wait for him to arrive, but Willoughby does not come. Sir John and Lady Middleton arrive in town and invite the Dashwoods over for a ball, where Willoughby, in spite of being invited, does not show his face.Colonel Brandon arrives the next day and seems anxious. After several minutes of silence, he asks Elanor when he should congratulate her on her sister’s upcoming marriage. Elanor asks where he has heard about it and says it is strange, as she doesn’t know about it herself. He replies that everyone is talking about it, and Elanor notices that he is clearly upset at the information that his “rival” has seemingly won. Elanor reconfirms that she knows nothing about a marriage but does state that Marianne and Willoughby do seem to be attached. On this information Colonel Brandon leaves.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.
