She readily accepts the proposal, and by supper time everyone is happy and content. Edward was especially happy as not only has he secured someone for a bride whom he truly loves, but he has been freed from an engagement by no choice of himself from someone who he did not love. Edward goes on to say that if his mother had given him some form of employment after leaving Longstaple, but he had nothing to do he thus went back and forth to Longstaple and be in love. He is so happy to be with Eleanor, and Mrs. Dashwood and Marianne are overjoyed, though Marianne is sad for what passed with Willoughby. Elanor is so happy and full of love for Edward, but also full of questions. Edward stays the following week at the cottage in Barton and during that time he and Elanor talk non-stop. She finds out about Lucy’s marriage. Elanor is very confused about the union as she believed Robert Ferrars to dislike the girl. Edward tells her that he probably did at first, but that his brother is very vain, and was probably worn down by Lucy’s flattery. He goes on to say that when he went to Oxford, he received letters from Lucy which seemed full of love. But a few days ago, he received a letter from her saying that she has married his brother. Elanor reads the letter and is pleased to find out more information the affair. Edward is very excited to properly meet Colonel Brandon in a few days’ time. He wishes to thank the man properly for the job given to him. Edward and Elanor are very concerned about their financial situation however and would need forgiveness from Mrs Ferrars to secure enough to live on. Edward does not know how his relationship with his mother will change following Robert’s marriage. He thinks that his mother will eventually forgive him, but not right away. The Colonel and Edward get along very well, and they are joined by a shared affection for the Dashwood girls.The Dashwoods receive letters from town from their friends who give them some more news about the changes in the Ferrars family. Mrs Jennings writes saying that she is furious with Lucy and feels very sorry for Edward. John Dashwood says that his mother-in-law is distraught and Fanny is in a terrible state. Robert is banished, and Lucy is never to be welcome before either.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.
