Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 44, narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:Elanor instantly tries to flee from him, but he orders her to listen. He says that he has business with Elanor, and in her shock to this answer, allows him to speak. He asks if Marianne is really going to be okay, stating that he heard from one of the servants that she is better. Elanor, because of his attitude, thinks that he is drunk. He says that he had a pint at Marlborough; he rode from London that day. He says that he has come to tell his story, and hopes that by telling it, both she, and Marianne will forgive him. He starts his story by saying that he had no intention of having Marianne fall for him. He only wished to spend his time in Barton in a more pleasant way. He says that since his youth he had expensive habits and friends, and that he accumulated a lot of debt. Because of this, he was determined to marry someone of extreme wealth. This is why he did not attach himself to Marianne at first, but he claims that as time went on, he did fall for Marianne. But he could not marry her, as she had no wealth… He calls himself a fool. He says that he had determined to tell Marianne about his affection, but Mrs. Smith had found out about Willoughby's connection with Colonel Brandon's ward, and because of this threatened to cut him off unless he married the girl. As she had no money, he couldn't do it, and thus, had to leave Barton for London. He seems to deeply regret having hurt Marianne too much and even goes on to claim that she was the first girl that he ever loved. He continues his story by saying that he believed it would be easy for him to get with Miss Grey, his current wife, and that it nonetheless caused him a huge amount of pain to see break off with Marianne. He then goes on to talk about Marianne's letters. He says that he was deeply pained by the letters and knowing that Marianne was in town was like lightening. He would have loved to have seen her, but he knew that his attachment to the girl would have ruined his plans to marry rich to escape from his debts. He tried all that he could to avoid the Dashwood's but eventually they were brought together by Sir Middleton… After this encounter, Miss Grey suspected that Marianne was the girl who truly had his heart, and when the final letter came to him, and she saw her name on the note, she read the note aloud. She forced Willoughby to write his letter to Marianne, to give back her notes, and her lock of hair. He goes on to say that his marriage to Miss Grey is not a loving one, it purely one of convenience and finance… He is a very pitiful figure, and Elanor forgives him for his terrible behaviour. He finishes by saying that the worst day of his life will be when he hears of Marianne's marriage and then leaves then house.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.

Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness.

Bigfoot and Mountain MenWhile listening to a Bigfoot podcast on the porch, the narrator's 94-year-old great-granddad Elijah shared a secret from his youth. As a teen in early-1900s Tennessee, Elijah and his two best friends were close to a hermit called Crazy Joe, who taught them wilderness skills. When Joe vanished, his shack was wrecked; weeks later he returned wealthy, clean-shaven, and driving fine horses. He revealed he had once struck gold in a hidden Idaho valley guarded by giant, hairy “Ancient Ones.” Joe invited the boys west. They reached the remote Valley of the Ancients, lived with a Shoshone friend called Long Tooth, and learned the creatures' rules: leave food on a sacred rock and never chase them. In return, the gentle but towering Ancient Ones left gold nuggets almost daily. During three winters the boys glimpsed the hairy beings, hunted alongside them, and filled a wagon with wealth before returning to Tennessee as wealthy young men. Elijah used his share to buy the family farm that still stands today. When the narrator doubted the tale, Elijah produced a worn journal and a bag of gold nuggets matching every detail. The family has kept the secret for six generations.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

Brian Bannon, the Merryl and James Tisch Director of Branch Libraries and Education and Chief Librarian at The New York Public Library, joins us to talk about the rise of—and stigma around—audiobooks, and why the environment in which we read might matter more than the modality.

Hey everybody, welcome back to The Smiling Homeschooler! This week we had a really fun conversation with Audiobook reader Jim Hodges. We talk about something that has been incredibly powerful in our homeschooling over the years… books and audiobooks. There is something special about the way stories engage our kids' imaginations when they are listening or reading, picturing the characters, the places, and the adventure in their own minds. It's a very different experience from just watching something on a screen. We talk about why imagination matters, some of our family's and Jim's favorite books and audiobooks, and why he has been so passionate about creating content that is not only entertaining but also completely family-friendly. If you're looking for ways to encourage reading, build imagination, and find great content your whole family can enjoy together, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation. You can stream his amazing audiobooks here https://stream.jimhodgesaudiobooks.com/ Before we get started, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for making The Smiling Homeschooler possible.

The Colonel felt alarmed by Marianne's state, but Elanor dismissed it. Eventually a doctor is called, and he states that Marianne will be better in a few days, and that her infection is minor. At the word of infection, Mrs. Palmer leaves with her baby to stay with some relations, where Mr. Palmer is to join her in a few days. Mrs Jennings says that she will stay however, to help nurse Marianne, and while the Colonel wishes at first to leave, he is persuaded to stay by the stern woman. Marianne laments that they are again forced to stay more time from home. Marianne is no better on the following day, but she seems not to be any worse. On the third day, the doctor declares that Marianne is getting better, and Elanor rejoiced in the fact that he letters to her mother were light-hearted. At the end of the day however, Marianne falls seemingly more ill than before and Elanor decides to sit up with her sister all night. Marianne gets more and more disturbed and soon calls out in her fever for her mother and claims that she mustn't go by London. Elanor tries to sooth her sister but checks her pulse and it is not good news. She runs down to the drawing room where she finds the Colonel and tells him what has happened. He offers to ride all night to collect Mrs. Dashwood, and in the time, it takes for Elanor to write a short message to her, his horses are ready, and he sets off. The doctor eventually comes and in spite of Marianne's state, he declares that she will be better. Several hours go by and Marianne is still sick. A heavy storm has begun, and through the storm Elanor believes that she can hear the sound of a Carriage. She runs downstairs, and though it seems to early for the Colonel to be back, she feels nearly assured that it is him, but when she opens the door she sees for the first time in months, Willoughby… 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.

After counsel for both prosecution and defense conclude jury selection, the Trail of the Century begins - at least in Bridgeburg - District Attorney Orville B. Mason takes to the well to begin his opening argument. (I don't know if the area in front of the bench is called "the well" but it seems to me it ought to be.) Electric. Dynamic. So Dreiser described the speaking style of the District Attorney.

Invitation link: https://discord.gg/6WUMt3m3qe  Other shows we cover on this podcast: We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows: Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It's sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant!
