When she goes upstairs, she finds Marianne awake and feels fearful of betraying herself to her sister. In 30 minutes, she hears the carriage of Colonel Brandon and runs downstairs to greet and calm her mother's nerves. She embraced her child, and as soon as she was recovered, went to see Marianne. She was overjoyed but tried to stay calm for her daughter's sake. Elanor tries to go to sleep, but Willoughby is in her thoughts. She doubts if, after telling Marianne of all that passed, if Marianne would ever be able to feel happy. The following day, when they finally got some time alone, Mrs. Dashwood tells Elanor that Colonel Brandon confessed his love for Marianne to her. The mother is overjoyed with this news, and Elanor is not surprised by the remarks. He confessed seemingly without thinking and claims that the Colonel said that he loved her from first sight. Elanor says that she highly values the Colonel and would look on this attachment as a blessing on the family, which satisfies her mother greatly. Mrs. Dashwood also dismisses the age gap, saying that his person is exactly the time that would make Marianne happy. SEO stuff I don't want to do.

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.

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.

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.

After a few days, Elanor feels that she needs to visit Mrs. John Dashwood and see how she is fairing after the news. Both Marianne and Mrs. Jennings are against this, but she nonetheless goes. She is greeted by her brother, and he is very glad to see her. They talk about Colonel Brandon's offer to Edward, and John asks if it is really true. Elanor confirms that it is true, and states that the Colonel only wanted to do something right by Edward after all of negativity from his family. John goes on to say that Mrs. Ferrars knows nothing about the news and suggests that it must be kept from her until the marriage takes place. Elanor is confused by this as she believes her to be a hateful woman, one who has cast her son off forever. John corrects her, and says that no matter what happens, Mrs. Ferrars will never forget that Edward is her son. Then in a whisper, John adds that he heard that whatever objections existed towards a connection between Elanor and Edward, they would be a far preferable match that that of Edward and Lucy. After a little time, they are joined by Robert Ferrars, and soon, John goes to search for his wife. He goes on to ask about Edward's new job and goes to laugh about it. He can't imagine anything funnier. He goes on to say that in a conversation with his mother, he said that he would never forgive nor see Edward again if he were to marry this woman. Elanor asks he had ever seen Lucy, and he says he has but only once, and he very much dislikes her.

The Dashwood girls are still recovering from the news, however. After a few more days pass, the weather is surprisingly very good, and the whole city seems to go to Kensington gardens, and Elanor and Mrs. Jenning's go to see them. After a few minutes, they come across Miss Anne Steele, who seems very pleased to see them. Mrs. Jennings begs Elanor to ask Anne about everything that passed between Edward and his family since they were kicked out. And after confirming that neither Lady Middleton nor Mrs. Jennings are upset with her or her sister, Anne goes to tell Elanor about everything that happened between Edward and her sister. Three days passed before Edward visited Lucy, he apparently stayed in an inn and gathered his thoughts. When he came to Lucy, he announced that he would understand if she broke the engagement off, as he now has no money, but Lucy said that she wouldn't. Anne proclaims that they are very happy together, and Edward intends to go into orders as soon a possible, after he finishes some business in Oxford. Anne then lets out that she was listening to this information from the other side of the door. Elanor is disgusted by Anne and tries to change the subject, but Anne continues on. Eventually she meets her friends again and leaves Elanor with Mrs. Jennings, to whom she recounts Anne's information to.

She comes to say, that Mrs John Dashwood is ill, and has been seen by a doctor who happened to be seeing Charlotte's newborn just after being to the Dashwood's place. Mrs. Jenning's then goes on to explain that Anne let slip to Fanny that Edward and Lucy have been engaged for the past year. This threw Fanny into hysterics and she, only after her husband's pleading with her to let them pack their bags first, threw the Miss Steeles out of their house. Elanor is shocked by this account and while she manages to keep her cool before Mrs. Jennings, she feels deeply shocked by what has happened. She then goes to Marianne and tells her of all that has passed. Marianne is distraught by the news and cries all throughout Elanor's recounting of Mrs. Jenning's story and of her knowledge of the affair. Only after Elanor says truly how hurt she was by Lucy's announcement does Marianne believe that her sister truly cared about it. Marianne then laments about how hard it must have been for Elanor to deal with what happened to her and also with what happened to herself. Following this Elanor urges Marianne not to be angry with Edward for his actions, and she does, though very upset with him. The following day, their brother comes to visit and talk through everything that happened at their house too. He explains what happened once Mrs. Ferrars heard the news, and more importantly what happened once Edward arrived… Mrs. Ferrars, Fanny, and John all apparently demanded that Edward end the engagement immediately, and no matter how severe the punishment for keeping it, Edward refuses. John then explains that Mrs. Ferras has vowed to make sure that Edward shall never be able to find a decent job, that he shall only have his 2000 pounds to live off of, and that she will bestow the estate that Edward was to inherit, on his brother, Robert. Mrs. Jennings finds Edwards actions very noble and offers, if the occasion were to arise, to invite Edward to stay with her while he gets onto his feet. John doesn't wish to offend her, so he doesn't say anything, and though Marianne wishes to, she remembers her promise to her sister. SEO stuff I don't want to do.

Lady Middleton does not really like the Dashwood girls, but she feels it her duty to host them. Lucy doesn't really want Elanor and Marianne there either, and all Miss Steele wants is to know what happened between Marianne and Willoughby. Mrs. Jennings is over the moon about Charlotte's new child and can talk nothing of the baby. Fanny and Mr John Dashwood are forced to invite their sisters to join them at a music party in town, and though Fanny would much rather not, it would be seen as a social faux pas if they Elanor and Marianne were not present. At the party, the music is fine, but that is about all, and as Marianne is looking across the room, she sees her brother in conversation with the man who she saw in the jewellery store. Her brother and the man soon come over, and the man is introduced to her as Mr. Robert Ferrars… He is just as pompous and opinionated as his sister Fanny. Robert and Elanor discuss Edward, and Robert declares that Edward's problems stem from his mother not choosing to send his brother to a private school. They then discuss Barton cottage, and he declares that he says that everyone should live in a cottage. Elanor agrees to everything he says, but it is more so to end the conversation. Later at the party, John Dashwood, says to his wife that they should invite his sisters to stay with them, it would satisfy the promise he made to his father. Fanny however refutes this, stating that this would be a slight against Mrs. Jennings, and claims that she also wishes to invite the Miss Steeles to stay, and the following day, an invitation is sent off to Lucy and Anne. And after several days, John and Mrs. Dashwood can talk nothing but praises of the girls, causing Elanor to suffer much at the nearly definite loss of Edward. SEO stuff I don't want to do.

She questions whether he had duped her, but no, she feels certain that Edward's affection towards her is real, and that his engagement to Lucy is not one of the heart. She feels too that Edward could never truly be happy with a marriage to Lucy, and that his engagement to her will have lessened his feelings for her.

Elanor feels that she could get no encouragement from her family if she was to share this information and feels as though she would just make them all feel worse. Elanor determines that she must again speak with Lucy. She needs to know all of her feelings towards Edward and must learn more about her engagement. She feels that Lucy must be a jealous person and must also try to show interest in her relationship to Edward as a friend.These opportunities seem few and in between as the weather has been too bad for a walk, and as they met in a group, it would be unproper for the two of them to meet only by themselves.

The Miss Steele's are apparently some relations of Mrs Jennings, and everyone is thus forced to be very welcoming. The girls however appear to be fantastic guests, doting dutifully on the Middleton children. When the Dashwood's arrive at the Park, they note that the youngest of the Steele's, Lucy, is very pretty, and that the eldest, seems very noble. One of the Middleton children gets hurt, and Lady Middleton takes her children away to calm them and leaves the Steeles and the Dashwoods alone. The Steeles go to compliment the Middleton family, and Marianne calls upon Elanor to play along, as Marianne is certain that she cannot lie. The eldest Steele girl seems to be very direct, and her sister, Lucy tries to cover up her sister's mistakes in politeness. The eldest Steele girl talks about the lack of beautiful men in the area, and the Dashwoods are very put off by this talk. The Steele's seem to want to get better acquainted with the Dashwoods, to the Dashwoods' dislike…The Steele's talk of Marianne's engagement to Willoughby, and it comes out that Sir John had mentioned the relationship between Edward Ferrars and Elanor. While initially vexed, when she finds out that the Steele's know Edward, Elanor tries to find out what they know about it. SEO stuff I don't want to do.

The award-winning actress Emma Thompson takes questions on Sense and Sensibility in this special episode of Bookclub to mark the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth. Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen's first novel published in 1811 when she was thirty-five years old. The book follows the Dashwood sisters as they navigate their way through love and and threat of its loss. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment. Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her screen adaptation of the 1995 film, of the same name, in which she played Elinor Dashwood. The film also starred Kate Winslet as Marianne Dashwood, Hugh Grant as Edward Ferrars, Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, and Greg Wise as John Willoughby. This episode was recorded at Broadcasting House, London, in August.Producer: Dominic Howell Editor: Gillian Wheelan This was a BBC Audio Scotland production.
After Willoughby rescues Marianne from her sprained ankle on the moor, the two quickly become inseparable. They have so much in common: music, dance, books, poetry, not to mention his wonderfully good looks. Marianne is sure that Willoughby is everything she has ever wanted in a man, and even Mrs. Dashwood is enchanted by him. Elinor, though, is more cautious. In fact, she is convinced that Colonel Brandon may be developing an attachment to her sister, even though Marianne is decidedly uninterested. Willoughby is a charmer, and as he delights the Dashwoods, let his smooth words help lull you into a night of gentle and relaxing sleep. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Mr Palmer calls out Mrs. Jennings, and Sir John for being what “ill-bred” for not wanting to abide by social rules. He, according to the girls, believe that he wishes to appear superior to everyone else. His wife also reveals that her husband is running for parliament, and as Willoughby is a member of the opposition, Mr Palmer probably wouldn't visit him.

He detested being in town, and didn't want to go to Norland, but he was going to go to one of them. Elanor believes that it is all his mother's fault. What Edward craves in independence, and in order to get it, Mrs. Dashwood asks why the man he never sought a profession. Edward explains that his wants always went against his parents wishes, and when he finally found something that he would maybe like, and that his family would agree to, he felt himself to be too old. After Edward's departure, Elanor tries to behave normally, and not back away from conversation about him.One morning, soon after the departure of Edward, Sir John Middleton, arrives with a party at Barton cottage. It is the Palmer family, Mrs. Jenning's and her son and daughter. Mrs. Palmer is a younger woman with a plump figure, and Mr. Palmer is a man of around twenty-five who contents himself in reading the paper, while the others talk.

He becomes interested in the family again. Mrs. Dashwood asks him about his mother, and Edward replies that while his mother is disappointed, she has concluded that she cannot force Edward to forgo his nature and become a famous orator/politician. Edward, above all else, wants to be happy. Elanor agrees only slightly with Edward's views, saying that money can bring happiness. Marianne is on Edwards side, claiming that “money can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give.” Elanor refutes her sister's points, claiming that Marianne does not believe what she says, as her idea of a small income is enough to have servants, horses, carriages, and hunters… Edwards is confused by Marianne's views, but before he can refute, Margret wishes that someone would just give them all a lump of money. The night goes on with them talking about what they would do if they were to all have enough money to do what ever they wished to do. Edward jokes that they would spend it all on books, music, theatre, and the like. He then asks her if her opinions on people only being able to fall in love Once have changed. They haven't. Marianne calls out Edward on his humour, and he retorts that he has never really been very genial. Edward goes on to say that he has never been at ease with people; he always seems to offend, when he is realistically only kept back by his own natural awkwardness. He says that he feels somewhat inferior, and it's probably that that keeps him from being easy with people. Marianne then jabs that he would still be reserved, which he takes offense at, as if he didn't know that he was reserved.SEO stuff I don't want to do.

She eats little, and cries for the majority of the time. She seems to nourish her grief by playing songs on the piano that she and he used to sing together, and reads books that they read together too. After several days she falls into a melancholy state. She has received no news from Willoughby, but Mrs. Dashwood seems to think this normal, as their letters get collected by Sir John before delivery. Elinor urges her mother to ask Marianne if she and Willoughby are engaged, but she refuses. The family walks on eggshells and tries not to mention his name and succeed in this endeavour for a few days until Mrs. Dashwood slipped up, causing Marianne to lament that she doesn't know when he will be coming back. After about a week, Marianne finally agrees to walk with Elinor on the downs where in the distance they see a gentleman on horseback riding towards them. Marianne exclaims it to be Willoughby and runs towards him, Elinor runs after her sister, knowing it not to be the man she loves. Arriving at the man, Marianne discovers it to not be Willoughby, but Edward Ferrars, and for a moment she is happy for her sister Elinor.

On questioning, the girls learn that Willoughby has been asked to head to London on business; he is to leave that day. The women are shocked by this statement, and in spite of Mrs. Dashwood extending an invitation for him to stay with them as soon as his business is done, he states that he can not take up her up on her kind offer and leaves.Mrs Dashwood and Elinor are stunned and each of the women think about what could have caused Willoughby to act and speak so unlike himself. Elinor believes that her sister and Willoughby must have, no matter how hard to believe, had a large fight. Her mother soon descends the stairs to join her daughter. Mrs. Dashwood claims to have thought through Willoughby's behaviour and has concluded that the man had not the power to accept her kind offer and is still sure of Willoughby's love for her daughter. She believes that Mrs. Smith knows about and disapproves of Willoughby's attachment to Marianne and has sent him away from her.

It's been decided: the Dashwoods are relocating to Devonshire. They have decided to take up their cousin Sir John Middleton's offer to take up residence in Barton Cottage, and soon set off from Norland to make their way to their new home.

It's a big transition for the Dashwoods, but they are making the best of it.

She wants the two of them to declare their love for each other and engagement.

Immaginiamo l'Inghilterra di fine Settecento: campi verdi, case di pietra, salotti eleganti e regole sociali rigide come armature. La storia prende il via con la famiglia Dashwood, travolta da un evento che cambierà tutto: la morte del padre.Per tradizione, la proprietà di famiglia passa al figlio maschio del primo matrimonio, John Dashwood. Le sorelle — Elinor, Marianne e la giovane Margaret — insieme alla loro madre, sono costrette a lasciare la loro casa.Questo è il mondo che si apre davanti a noi: un universo dove il denaro decide il futuro, e dove i sentimenti devono fare i conti con la logica sociale.Elinor, la sorella maggiore, rappresenta la ragione: prudente, attenta, sempre composta. Marianne, invece, è la passione pura: vive ogni emozione in modo totale, senza filtri.La partenza dalla loro casa non è solo un trasloco: è il primo passo verso una nuova vita piena di incertezze. E in questo viaggio, l'amore — sotto ogni sua forma — avrà un ruolo decisivo.Il film alla radio di questo episodio è Ragione e Sentimento.
Elinor and Edward's relationship is growing closer, but they are not actually engaged, much to Marianne's surprise. In fact, Elinor herself isn't sure of the degree of Edward's attachment to her. But the attachment is enough to catch the eye of Fanny Dashwood, who makes it clear in no uncertain terms that her family has high hopes for her brother's marriage - hopes that don't include Elinor Dashwood. Luckily for them, a letter has just arrived from one of Mrs. Dashwood's relations, inviting them to take up residence at his cottage in Devonshire. It's the perfect time for the family to make a move, and as they do, let their story move you along into a night of soft and relaxing sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Mrs. Dashwood overheard this conversation and confirms to herself that the two must be engaged.

Mr. John Dashwood is still determined to help his sisters after the tragic early death of their father. But his wife, Mrs. Fanny Dashwood, has a few questions. After all, how much money do four single women really need? And surely Mr. Dashwood's deathbed promise to his father didn't mean financial support to his sisters?

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 2, 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:Mr. John Dashwood plans to keep his promise to his deceased uncle and treat his female relatives with generosity. His wife, Fanny, however, is a narrow-minded and selfish woman and she convinces him to leave them only 5 thousand pounds apiece. Fanny moves into Norland Park immediately after the passing of Mr. Henry Dashwood and becomes mistress of the estate, forcing John's stepmother Mrs. Dashwood and half-sisters Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret to the status of “visitor.”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.

En ces temps troubles, il est essentiel de se rassembler pour s'informer et échanger, notamment sur la transition écologique qui semble être entravée par un grand renoncement depuis le retour de la guerre en Europe et la prise de fonction de Donald Trump. Pourtant, les conséquences du changement climatique et de la dégradation globale de notre environnement sont ressenties de plus en plus violemment par chacun d'entre nous partout sur la planète. C'était le 17 mars dernier au Théâtre des Abbesses à Paris. Plus d'une centaine de personnes sont venues assister à ce Débat singulier organisé par le Théâtre de la ville de Paris et l'université de la Sorbonne. Où en sommes-nous ? Qu'est-ce qui bloque ? Et quels sont les chemins à emprunter pour mettre réellement en mouvement les sociétés vers la transition écologique ? L'originalité de ces échanges est que non seulement vous allez entendre les points de vue d'éminents experts sur ces questions, mais ils seront ponctués par des textes lus par des comédiens accompagnés d'un musicien. Diffusion du débat singulier enregistré au Théâtre des Abbesses : Transition écologique, petits pas ou grande rupture avec : Xavier Desjardins, urbanisme et auteur de La révolution obligée (Allary Éditions, 2024) David Djaïz, auteur de La révolution obligée (Allary Éditions, 2024) Valérie Masson-Delmotte, directrice de recherche, CEA, responsable du Centre climat société, IPSL Lecture de textes par Marie-France Alvarez et Valérie Dashwood, de la Troupe du Théâtre de la Ville. Accompagnement musical, Alexandre Choiselat. Rencontre organisée en partenariat avec Sorbonne Université et RFI.

Sex, Satanism and Scandal surrounded the Hellfire Club that operated out of a network of caves in the country estate of 18th century aristocrat Francis Dashwood. The most powerful men in the country came to Dashwood's underground lair. Rumours swirled of everything from orgies to human sacrifice and Satanic spirits.
