Today, we're covering the original ending of Persuasion, otherwise known as the "Cancelled Chapters." The original Volume 2, Chapter 10 replaces the Chapters 10 and 11 that we ended up with, and the original Chapter 11 is essentially the same as our Chapter 12. The Cancelled Chapters were published posthumously. Anne has just found out Elliot's true nature when she runs into Admiral Croft, who locks her in a room with Wentworth after begging Wentworth to talk to Anne on his behalf. Wentworth reveals that the Crofts are concerned that Anne and Elliot are going to take Kellynch back when they get married. Anne tells him that she and Elliot are not going to be married, and the rest is history.

Did her family do her a service or disservice by bringing it to light?Katrine: How do the two endings differ emotionally — and what do they tell us about the love between Anne and Wentworth?

We made it to the final chapter of Persuasion! Anne and Wentworth face no opposition from Anne's family, Lady Russell admits she was wrong, and Mary takes credit for the match. Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay run off together, and Wentworth helps Mrs. Smith sell her husband's estate in the West Indies.Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Moana, Sex and the City, Wuthering Heights, I Will Always Love You, Happier, The One That Got Away, The Good Witch, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, Cornelia Street, Back to December, Anne Elliot's Sad Girl Playlist.Patron Study Questions:Megan: What 3 songs are definitely on Anne's breakup playlist? Katrine: Aside from Anne & Wentworth — do the other people in the novel get a happy ending? Think of Mrs Clay and Louisa, will they be happy in life or have they potentially made a mistake in choosing a partner? Similarly with Elizabeth and Sit Walter — is happiness in their future?Avi: Who changed more in the course of the novel, Anne or Wentworth?Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include who would be worse to be married to out of Sir Walter and Mr. Elliot, why Austen put Elliot and Mrs. Clay together, what it does to the story to have a happy ending, convenient vs. inconvenient love.Quote: "Of all the family, Mary was probably the one most immediately gratified by the circumstance. It was creditable to have a sister married, and she might flatter herself with having been greatly instrumental to the connexion, by keeping Anne with her in the autumn."Who wins the book?

What does Mrs. Croft and Mrs. Musgrove's conversation about engagements show us about society and about Anne and Wentworth, their feelings and their own engagement?

Why do you think they're doing for the story at this point?Avi: The scene at the Cobb is, justifiably, one of the most famous in Persuasion. What does this show about Anne's character and what does this show about how everyone, particularly Wentworth, really feel about Anne when all pretensions and conventions are stripped away?Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Mr. Elliot's reaction to Anne, Anne's transformation, the accident and what it does to the story, what it teaches us about the characters, the difference between persuadable characters and resolute characters, and Anne's separation from the rest of the party.Pod and Prejudice is sponsored this week by Laurence King Publishing. Check out their Jane Austen board games, card games, playing cards and puzzles!

Known to have some influence with her sister, she was continually requested, or at least receiving hints to exert it, beyond what was practicable. “I wish you could persuade Mary not to be always fancying herself ill,” was Charles's language; and, in an unhappy mood, thus spoke Mary: “I do believe if Charles were to see me dying, he would not think there was anything the matter with me. I am sure, Anne, if you would, you might persuade him that I really am very ill—a great deal worse than I ever own.”Questions Moving Forward: Does Captain Wentworth want to marry a Musgrove daughter?Who wins the chapters?

There's a LOT going on in this episode. This is the humbling of Emma Woodhouse. Buckle up.Emma begins to realize she might be the problem, Jane finally accepts a governess position and promptly falls ill. Knightley almost kisses Emma's hand, Mrs. Churchill DIES, and Jane starts avoiding Emma. And FINALLY, it is revealed that Jane and Frank have been LONG ENGAGED?!?!? Study questions: Topics discussed include Emma's repentance, Jane's avoidance of Emma, a deep dive into the engagement, and whether Frank Churchill is the villain of this story.Funniest quote: "It was felt as such things must be felt. Every body had a degree of gravity and sorrow; tenderness towards the departed, solicitude for the surviving friends; and, in a reasonable time, curiosity to know where she would be buried. Goldsmith tells us, that when lovely woman stoops to folly, she has nothing to do but to die; and when she stoops to be disagreeable, it is equally to be recommended as a clearer of ill-fame. Mrs. Churchill, after being disliked at least twenty-five years, was now spoken of with compassionate allowances. In one point she was fully justified. She had never been admitted before to be seriously ill. The event acquitted her of all the fancifulness, and all the selfishness of imaginary complaints."Questions moving forward: Why was Frank flirting with Emma? Who wins the chapters?
