SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

The air is full of spices.

***

Marianne Dashwood would no more think of me than she would of you, John.

***

I knew a lady very like your sister, with the same impulsive sweetness of temper. Who was forced into, as you put it, a better acquaintance with the world. The result was only ruination and despair. Do not desire it, Miss Dashwood.

***

Miss Dashwood, tell me once and for all : Is everything finally resolved between your sister and Mr. Willoughby?

***

To your sister, I wish all imaginable happiness. To Mr Willoughby, that he may endeavour to deserve her.

***

No doubt...No doubt, Mrs. Jennings has appraised you of certain events in my past.

***

I have described Mr. Willoughby as the worst of libertines. But I learned from lady Allen that he did mean to propose that day and I cannot deny that his intentions towards Marianne were honourable.

***

O panu Ferrars: His behaviour has proved him proud. In the best sense.

***

What is the diagnosis?

***

What can I do? Give me an occupation, Miss Dashwood, or I shall run mad.

Poem: Nor is the earth the lesser, or loseth ought,
For whatsoever from one place doth fall,
Is with the tide unto another brought:
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.
Marianne: Shall we continue tomorrow?
Brandon: No, for I must away.
Marianne: Away? Where?
Brandon: That I cannot tell you. It is a secret.
