She determines that Colonel Brandon has fallen for Marianne, and says that the match would be good, as he is rich, and she is beautiful. Marianne thinks that this idea is a joke, and feels nothing for him, and just believes him to be an old man. Mrs. Dashwood jokes that Colonel Brandon is only 5 years younger than herself, and that does not make him an old man, but she does understand what he daughter is feeling about the Colonel. Following this conversation, Marianne talks to her mother about he fears that Edward Ferras must be ill as he hasn’t visited them yet. And though Elinor hasn’t mentioned the man, Marianne feels like her sister must miss him terribly. 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.
