She says that she is appalled by Willoughby’s behaviour, and that if she sees him again, that Willoughby will receive the biggest dressing down of his life. She tries to reassure Marianne that Willoughby is not the only man in the world, and before leaving, says that some friends are coming tonight for supper. At Lunch, Marianne eats with Mrs. Jennings and Elanor. She eats more than she has done in days but doesn’t say a word. Mrs. Jennings dotes on Marianne like a parent to a favourite child, but still Marianne’s humour doesn’t improve, and she retires to her room. Mrs. Jennings and Elanor discuss Willoughby’s situation some more, and Mrs. Jennings says that Miss Grey is very very wealthy, and seems to suggest that this is the reason for Willoughby leaving Marianne. Elanor tries to let Mrs. Jennings know that a formal engagement never existed between her sister and that man, but Mrs. Jennings refutes her by saying that it wasn’t necessary for him to ask after showing Marianne around his ancestral home like he did. Colonel Brandon comes to the house and talks with Elanor. He tells her that he heard about the Willoughby situation in town and talks in a way that shows how sorry he feels for Marianne. 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.
