She asks the elder miss Dashwoods to join her in London. Elanor immediately refuses, saying that they need to be with their mother, but Mrs. Jennings doesn't want to hear no for an answer. Sir John also understands that Marianne would actually like to go to London, and the girls are thus forced to ask their mother for permission, and Elanor soon consents. Mrs Dashwood is very happy to let the girls go to London as she feels that they would be likely to run into Willoughby in town, and potentially Edward too. Mrs Dashwood is also excited about the possibility of redecorating the rooms of the girls and knows that it would be easier to do if the girls were away for a while. Elanor and Marianne are to travel with Mrs. Jennings in her chaise, and Sir John is very excited to have more people join them in London.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.
Marianne and Willoughby's relationship is continuing to deepen at a pace that is somewhat alarming to Elinor. After convincing Marianne that Willoughby's gift of a horse is impractical (and beyond their means), Elinor learns from Margaret that Marianne has also given Willoughby a lock of her hair. With all of this closeness, Elinor is sure that the two must be engaged. But she's soon distracted by her sister Margaret's precociousness in another venue, when she reveals to Sir John and Mrs. Jennings that Elinor was previously attached to a mysterious Mr. F. The attention is quite distressing to Elinor, but at least they have an upcoming group outing to look forward to. The Dashwood girls are entangled in a web of relationships, and as they navigate their way through, let their story help steer you into a night of gentle and restorative slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Lucy is more than happy to talk about it and says that she felt like she had upset Elanor with her information. Lucy claims that as she is used to a small income, she could do without any money that Edward's mother could give him, but she knows that Edward could not. They need to wait until his mother passes away, and Lucy says that she could only wait for Edward, no other man. Lucy says that she has come up with a plan to have Elanor help her get married to Edward. She says that if Elanor were to ask her brother to let Edward go to the church in Norland, then everything would be sorted. Lucy laments that it would perhaps be better to call the whole thing off and asks Elanor's opinion of it. Elanor refuses to answer. Their conversation ends with an invitation to go to London which Elanor refuses as well.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. She weeps for him but feels as though she can hide her new knowledge from her mother and her sister. 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. One day, Sir John came to beg the Dashwood girls to lunch with his wife, as he needed to go to the club. Elanor and Margaret readily accepted, and Marianne was forced by her mother to go. After lunch, they set up some card tables, and soon, Lucy is soon asked by Lady Middleton to continue working on a basket that she had been making for her daughter and Elanor under the guise of lending a hand to Lucy finally finds a chance to be alone and converse with her rival.SEO stuff I don't want to do.

Willoughby and Marianne continue to get closer, making her even more delighted with Devonshire. Unfortunately, Elinor's experience has been far less delightful than her sister's. She finds all of her company dreadfully insipid, except for Colonel Brandon, who is proving to be a friend. If only Marianne could see his redeeming qualities as well! Alas, for now it is only a wish. As the Dashwood sisters continue to settle into their new reality, let their them continue to be your companions as you settle into a night of soft and restful sleep. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Elanor does find her agreeable enough for half an hour, but no more, as the girl is uneducated and illiterate. One day while walking back to the cottage, Lucy asks Elanor if she knows Edward's mother. Elanor finds the question strange, and after some little conversation, Lucy intimates that she knows Edward very well, but has never met his mother. Elanor is shocked by this revelation and Lucy goes on to reveal, because she apparently trusts Elanor, that she and Edward have been engaged for several years, and that she keeps a picture of him on her person, and that the ring embossed with a lock of hair contains the hair of Lucy. Elanor is shocked, and though she tries to remain polite, is very glad once Lucy leaves to go back to Barton Park.SEO stuff I don't want to do.

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 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!

Mrs Palmer is very pushy towards the girls, wishing for them to come to the city and visit them. Mr Palmer is as gloomy and miserable as usual. Sir John pokes fun at Marianne for her love of Willoughby, and Mrs Palmer adds that Willoughby does not live too far from them, and invites them to visit them at they home as well as London. 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. They stay for a while, and before leaving, Sir John presses the women of Barton Cottage to come for dinner.SEO stuff I don't want to do.

The Dashwoods are growing more comfortable in Devonshire, and one of their many employments is enjoying the many beautiful walks in the surrounding countryside.

Luckily for her, there's a handsome gentleman who happens to be nearby to carry her home, the dashing Mr. Willoughby. Could there be a more romantic way to make the acquaintance of a handsome young man? Marianne thinks not.

Marianne tries to leave her sister alone with Edward, but he decides instead to go and check on his horses. This seems to have been a good thing however, as he seems to appreciate the village and countryside a lot more than before. Marianne presses him to describe the areas as he sees them, but he refuses, as he has no knowledge of the picturesque. To him, it is a fine country, but nothing more, he cannot describe the country better. During this conversation, Marianne happens to notice a ring on Edward's finger, which is embossed with a plait of hair. Marianne thinks this hair to come from his sister, but Elanor knows it to actually be her own hair, and she is finally relieved and convinced once again is Edward's affections. At the middle of the day, they are greeted by Sir Middleton, and Mrs. Jennings, where the two are very quick to learn that Edward's surname begins with an F.

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.

Freshly arrived in Devonshire, the Dashwoods are off to dine at Barton Park and meet the rest of their new neighborhood acquaintances. There's Lady Middleton's teasing and slightly vulgar mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennings, and Sir John's quiet friend, Colonel Brandon. Mrs. Jennings, who is fond of pairing people up, is soon convinced that Colonel Brandon is in love with Marianne, but she's having none of it. Colonel Brandon is 35, and Marianne is convinced that at his stage of life, all that's left is infirmity, since he's too old for romance. With their social circle growing, the Dashwoods are settling into their new home, and as they do, let them help you settle into your bed for a night of soft and peaceful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

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. This doesn't last long as Edward seems distant and confused at seeing the girls and is silent unless asked a question. Elinor is also a little disappointed by this, but persists at continuing a conversation with him while walking back to their cottage. SEO stuff I don't want to do.

When the come home, they find Marianne in tears running past them up the stairs to her room, and Willoughby in a disappointed state. 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. Elinor and her mother go back and forth a little and Elinor concludes that her mother's reasoning is probably correct, though she would have liked to have confirmation of their engagement.

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. The cottage is smaller than they are used to, but Mrs. Dashwood is full of ideas to make it more homey (if she can save the money for it). They also make the acquaintance of their landlord Sir John, who is boisterous, and his wife Lady Middleton, who is elegant. It's a big transition for the Dashwoods, but they are making the best of it.

She is certain that something dreadful has befallen him, or that money matters have arisen, or that his sister is ill, or that Miss Williams is in town. Elinor is a little upset about the Colonel's departure but is more so engrossed in the silence of her sister and Willoughby. She wants the two of them to declare their love for each other and engagement. She knows that Willoughby doesn't have enough money yet to support his lifestyle, but believes that they could nonetheless announce their attachment. Willoughby seems really attached to the family. He has almost become a son and brother to the family. He seems to pass all of his time with Marianne, and the family. One week after the Colonel's departure, he overheard Mrs. Dashwood's ideas of improving the cottage in the spring, and he wholeheartedly refused the idea. Marianne and Mrs Dashwood eventually convince him that they shan't change the house if it would cause him harm. Willoughby goes on to flatter the cottage in a way that makes Mrs. Dashwood all but convinced of his engagement to Marianne. 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.

Colonel Brandon, who was to be their guide, received a shocking letter, and announced that he needs to leave for town immediately. Mrs. Jennings pries into him and begs to know what the letter says. He divulges no information however and takes leave. The party is greatly upset by their change of plans, and Lord Middleton tries to cheer them up by suggesting they ride in the carriages and have a ball in the evening. While riding, Willoughby, and Marianne snuck off somewhere… At the dinner table, Mrs. Jennings tells Marianne that she knows where she and Willoughby went that day. They apparently went to Willoughby's aunt's house. Elinor later reprimands her sister for this, but understands too, and listens to her sister when she details some of the rooms to her.SEO stuff I don't want to do.

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. Margret also comes on the following day to Elinor and tells her that she saw Willoughby take a lock of Marianne's hair and put it in his pocketbook. One evening at the Park, Margret was attacked by Mrs. Jennings for the name of the man who owns Elinor's heart, and though Marianne tries to get her sister to be quiet, Margret lets more slip than necessary.

All of the events taking place were designed to bring Marianne and Willoughby closer. This worked like a treat, and Elinor even ventured to tell her sister that they should not be so overtly attached, but this is dismissed by the two of them. They spent every evening together, to the delight and humour of everyone else, causing Marianne to soon become content with her new life away from Norland.Elinor, however, is enjoying Barton far less. She is feeling alone, and in want of real conversation. Mrs. Jennings, and Lady Middleton, are not great conversationalists. Colonel Brandon is the only person with whom she can converse freely, but he is sadly still attached to Marianne… Elinor starts to suspect that he has previously been hurt in love, and she starts to sympathize with him.

The Dashwoods remain at Norland while they search for a place that will fit their new financial situation. Living with Fanny Dashwood is not pleasant, but there is one bright spot: her brother, Edward Ferrars. He has been staying with the family at Norland, and by all accounts to be forming an attachment with Elinor - she esteems him, which is high praise. Marianne finds Edward lacking in his understanding of art and literature, but their mother is pleased that her eldest daughter has found love. As Elinor and Edward's attachment grows, let it help you relax as you drift into another night of restorative slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Elinor teases Marianne, that they will soon have exhausted every topic of conversation. Willoughby is everything that Marianne has ever wanted in a man, and Mrs. Dashwood starts to believe that Willoughby will soon propose to her daughter.

Sir John Middleton called on them every day for the first fortnight and urged them to mix with the people in the area. The girls go on many walks and have fallen in love with the country about them. One morning, Margret and Marianne, in spite of the rain, go on a walk together on the hills. Though the clouds were originally keeping away from their path, they soon closed in on top of them and showered their heads. The girls decided to run back to the cottage, but Marianne tripped and fell down the hill. A gentleman was walking nearby and came to her assistance and carried her down the hill to Barton cottage. The man exchanged some polite pleasantries with the family and then left. In the afternoon, Sir John Middleton came by, and the girls flooded him with questions about the handsome stranger, called Willoughby. Sir John seemed to be shocked that he was in the area but went on to explain that no better man existed, and after mentioning that he danced all night at a ball held last year, Marianne became attached.

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? What if their own child were to ever need the money? It's all sounding very logical to Mr. John Dashwood, and he is grateful to have such a clear-headed wife to guide him. As he plans for the future, let his considerations help relax you and take you into an evening of soft and peaceful slumber. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
