  income of independence and comfort. The marriage of his daughter with a
  man of fortune and consequence, which took place in the course of the
  summer, threw him into a fit of good humour.

  about it, because their father had a disagreement with Collins.
  
  austen-pride_014-1813 -- Lady Catherine de Bourgh is fond of Mr.
  Bennet's friend, Mr. Collins. Lady Catherine has a daughter, the heiress
  of Rosings, and she has a sickly constitution, so she's not able to
  progress in many accomplishments.
  
  austen-pride_015-1813 -- Mr. Collins is a rector at Hunsford and wants
  to marry. He was recommended by Lady Catherine de Bourgh to Lady Bennet.
  He wanted to choose a wife from the Longbourn family. Mrs. Bennet's
  eldest daughter, Elizabeth, was soon engaged to Mr. Collins. Lydia and
  her sisters were walking to Meryton. Mr. Denny came to ask about Lydia
  and Lydia's return from London. They were stopped by a stranger.
  
  austen-pride_016-1813 -- Mr. Collins, Mr. Wickham and his five cousins
  came to Meryton for a visit. Mr. Collins was impressed with the size and
  furniture of the apartment. Mrs. Phillips was impressed by the grandeur
  of Lady Catherine's mansion and her housekeeper's room. The officers of
  the shire were in general a creditable, gentlemanlike set, and the best
  of them were the present party.
  
  austen-pride_017-1813 -- Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wickham had an affair. Mr.
  Bingley and his sisters invited them to a ball at Netherfield the
  following Tuesday. Catherine and Lydia didn't want to go. Mrs. Bennet
  considered it a compliment to her daughter.
  
  austen-pride_018-1813 -- Mr. Wickham wasn't at the party at Netherfield.
  Lydia's friend Denny said that he had been out of town on business the
  day before and didn't come back. Elizabeth suspected that he was
  avoiding Mr. Darcy. She didn't want to have a conversation with Darcy,
  so she didn't talk to him during the first two dances. Mr. Collins,
  awkward and solemn, apologized instead of attending, and often moved
  wrong without being aware of it. She danced next with an officer, and
  had the refreshment of talking of Wickham. When the dancing recommenced,
  Darcy approached her and asked for her hand.
  
  austen-pride_019-1813 -- The next day Mr. Collins asked Mrs. Bennet and
  Elizabeth's mother for an audience with her daughter Elizabeth and her
  daughter Lizzy. Elizabeth wanted to leave, but she was forced to stay
  and listen to him talk about his plans for his future marriage.
  
  austen-pride_020-1813 -- Mr. Collins proposed to marry his cousin Lizzy,
  but she refused him. Mrs. Bennet is convinced that Lizzy is headstrong
  and will not accept Mr. Collins' proposal. She wants to talk to Lizzy
  about it directly with her husband, but he is not convinced. He will
  come to the library to convince Lizzy.
  
  austen-pride_021-1813 -- Mr. Collins and Mr. Darcy are not going to the
  Netherfield ball. Caroline Bingley and her family are going to follow
  their brother to town and dine in Grosvenor Street, where Mr. Hurst had
  a house. They will not see their friends before they leave the country.
  
  austen-pride_022-1813 -- Mr. Collins is engaged to Charlotte Lucas. He
  will be her husband. The whole family is overjoyed about it. The younger
  girls form hopes of coming out a year or two sooner than they might
  otherwise have done, and the boys relieved from their apprehension of
  Charlotte dying an old maid.
  
  austen-pride_023-1813 -- Mr. Collins wants to marry Lizzy. Sir William
  Lucas' daughter, Charlotte, got engaged to Mr. Collins. Mrs. Bennet and
  Lady Lucas were shocked by the news. She never forgave them for their
  behaviour.
  
  austen-pride_024-1813 -- Miss Bingley's letter confirmed that she and
  her family are settled in London for the winter. Miss Darcy's praise
  occupied the chief part of the letter, while Caroline boasted of their
  increasing intimacy. Jane's sister, Elizabeth, was upset by the fact
  that her brother was unfaithful to her sister.
  
  austen-pride_025-1813 -- Mr. Collins was called from Charlotte by the
  arrival of Saturday. He took leave of his relations at Longbourn with
  solemnity and promised their father another letter of thanks. Mrs.
  Bennet received her brother and his wife, who came as usual to spend
  Christmas. They had been staying with her nieces in town. Two of her
  girls had been upon the point of marriage, and after all there was
  nothing in it.
  
  austen-pride_026-1813 -- Mrs. Gardiner warned Elizabeth not to fall in
  love with Mr. Wickham. Mr. Darcy has been frequently invited to visit
  Elizabeth and her family this week. Mrs. Bennet's marriage to Mr.
  Collins was fast approaching. On Wednesday Miss Lucas was leaving.
  Charlotte and Maria will visit her in March.
  
  austen-pride_027-1813 -- Elizabeth is going to Hunsford in March. She
  will spend a night in London with Sir William Lucas and his daughter
  Maria. Mr. Wickham is trying to get a girl with ten thousand pounds and
  he wants to find her out.
  
  austen-pride_028-1813 -- Elizabeth and Charlotte are visiting their
  cousin Mr. Collins and his wife in Hunsford. They are going to see Lady
  Catherine de Bourgh on Sunday. They will have the honour of seeing Lady
  Catherine and joining some portion of her service.
  
  austen-pride_029-1813 -- Mr. Collins invited Lady Catherine and her
  family to Rosings for tea and dinner on Sunday evening. Lady Catherine's
  daughter, Maria Lucas, and Mrs. Jenkinson were also invited. They were
  introduced by Lady Catherine. Sir William and Maria Lucas were nervous
  about their arrival.
  
  austen-pride_030-1813 -- Sir William stayed at Hunsford for a week. Lady
  Catherine talked of his coming with the greatest satisfaction. Mr.
  Collins spent most of his time in his book-room, which is opposite the
  dining-parlour. He would walk to Rosings twice a week to see his family.
  His wife was an active magistrate in her own parish.
  
  austen-pride_031-1813 -- Colonel Fitzwilliam and Mr. Darcy visited Lady
  Catherine and her daughter at Rosings. They were invited to a party in
  Lady Catherine's drawing-room. Lady Catherine was very happy to see
  them. She talked to them about music. She is very fond of her sister
  Georgiana.
  
  austen-pride_032-1813 -- Elizabeth was writing to Jane while Mrs.
  Collins and Maria were gone on business into the village. Mr. Darcy and
  Mr. Bingley left Netherfield last November. Lady Catherine helped the
  house when Mr. Collins first came to Hunsford.
  
  austen-pride_033-1813 -- Elizabeth met Mr. Darcy more than once in the
  park. He asked her questions about her being at Hunsford, her love of
  solitary walks, and her opinion of Mr. and Mrs. Collins's happiness. He
  seemed to imply that whenever she came into Kent again she would be
  staying there too. Colonel Fitzwilliam is at Darcy's disposal. He
  arranges the business just as he pleases. He enjoys the power of choice.
  
  austen-pride_034-1813 -- Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam are leaving
  for Rosings in less than a fortnight. Jane wrote to Elizabeth
  complaining about Darcy's behaviour towards her sister. He is leaving
  Kent with his cousin. He wants to tell Elizabeth how much he loves her.
  
  austen-pride_035-1813 -- Elizabeth received a letter from Rosings at 8
  o'clock in the morning. She had been in Kent for five weeks and had made
  a great difference in the country. She was introduced to Mr. Darcy by
  William Lucas's sister, who had given rise to his feelings for her. She
  broke up with Mr. Bingley, who was her childhood friend.
  
  austen-pride_036-1813 -- Mr. Darcy gave Elizabeth the letter with the
  renewal of his offers. She was shocked by the contents of it. She had
  never heard of Mr. Wickham before his entrance into the shire Militia,
  in which he had engaged at the persuasion of the young man. She read his
  account of what had happened at Netherfield. He expressed no regret for
  what he had done which satisfied her.
  
  austen-pride_037-1813 -- The two gentlemen left Rosings the next
  morning. Mr. Collins was waiting near the lodges. Lady Catherine and
  Lady Catherine's daughter, Miss Bennet, invited them to dinner.
  Elizabeth will be in town next Saturday. She will have been here only
  six weeks. Mrs. Collins wants her to stay for another two weeks.
  
  austen-pride_038-1813 -- Elizabeth spent six weeks with Charlotte at
  Rosings in Hunsford. She was visited by Mr. Collins and his wife, Mrs.
  Collins' cousin, Lady Catherine. They were grateful for her company.
  Maria came to collect her.
  
  austen-pride_039-1813 -- Kitty and Lydia bought a bonnet for Lydia.
  Lydia and Kitty's sister, Elizabeth, want their father to take them to
  Brighton for the summer. Lydia is happy that Wickham is no longer
  married to Mary King, because she liked her.
  
  austen-pride_040-1813 -- Mr. Darcy sent a letter to George Wickham. He
  was disappointed with his sister's refusal to marry him. Jane was
  shocked by the letter and her sister's attitude towards him. Elizabeth
  tried to console her sister, but Jane was unimpressed.
  
  austen-pride_041-1813 -- Lydia is going to Brighton with Mrs. Forster,
  the wife of the colonel of the regiment's regiment, to be with her.
  Lydia and Lydia had been intimate two times in three months. Mr. Darcy,
  Lydia's father, disapproves of the affair.
  
  austen-pride_042-1813 -- Elizabeth's father married a woman whose weak
  understanding and illiberal mind put an end to all real affection for
  her early in their marriage. Mr. Bennet was fond of the country and of
  books. His wife's ignorance and folly had contributed to his amusement.
  Elizabeth had never been blind to the impropriety of her father's
  behaviour as a husband. She had never felt so strongly as now the
  disadvantages which must attend the children of so unsuitable a
  marriage. Her tour to the Lakes was now the object of her happiest
  thoughts.
  
  austen-pride_043-1813 -- Elizabeth's uncle and aunt are visiting
  Pemberley. They are going to stay at the lodge. They will see the house
  and its owner, who is going to be there tomorrow with a large party of
  friends. Elizabeth is very fond of the house.
  
  austen-pride_044-1813 -- Mr. Darcy's sister came to visit Elizabeth the
  day after she arrived at Pemberley. She was surprised by her behaviour
  and her uncle's and aunt's reaction. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner suspected
  that Miss Darcy and her brother were after Elizabeth. Bingley was
  waiting for her.
  
  austen-pride_045-1813 -- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are at Pemberley. They
  were greeted by Miss Darcy, Mrs. Hurst, Miss Bingley, and Mrs. Annesley.
  Mr Darcy had been with Mr. Gardiner, who was engaged by the river, and
  left him on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to
  Georgiana that morning.
  
  austen-pride_046-1813 -- Lydia went off to Scotland with Colonel Forster
  and one of his officers to marry Mr. Wickham. They left on Saturday
  night about 12 and were not missed till yesterday morning at 8. Colonel
  F. traced them to Clapham, but no further. Lydia left a few lines for
  his wife, informing her of their intention.
  
  austen-pride_047-1813 -- Lydia and Wickham are going to elope. They are
  staying in Colonel Forster's family. Mrs. Gardiner thinks it is too
  great a violation of decency, honour, and interest for him to be guilty
  of it. Jane's aunt doesn't think so. Lydia is young and has never been
  taught to think on serious subjects.
  
  austen-pride_048-1813 -- Mrs. Gardiner and the children will stay in
  Hertfordshire a few days longer. Their uncle promised to prevail on Mr.
  Bennet to return to Longbourn, as soon as he could. On Tuesday his wife
  received a letter from him. He had been to Epsom and Clapham before his
  arrival. He was determined to inquire at all the principal hotels in
  town. He promised to write again soon.
  
  austen-pride_049-1813 -- Mr. Bennet's niece is getting married. Mr.
  Gardiner sent an express letter to Mr. Wickham by express on Monday,
  August 2. He wants his niece to get equal share of the five thousand
  pounds secured among his children after the decease of himself and his
  sister, and to enter into an engagement of one hundred pounds per annum.
  
  austen-pride_050-1813 -- Mr. Bennet wanted to set aside an annual sum
  for the better provision of his children, and of his wife, if she
  survived him. Five thousand pounds was settled by marriage articles on
  Mrs. and the children, but in what proportions it should be divided
  depended on the will of the parents. Lydia's expenses were very little
  within that sum, so her uncle, Mr. Wickham, arranged for her to marry
  his daughter.
  
  austen-pride_051-1813 -- Lydia and Wickham got married. Lydia went away
  for 3 months and came back to tell her family about it. They were
  surprised to hear her talk about her new life with her husband. Lydia
  was called "Mrs. Wickham" by her neighbours.
  
  austen-pride_052-1813 -- Elizabeth received a letter from her uncle. Mr.
  Darcy's brother, Mr. Gardiner, came to London to look for Lydia Darcy
  and Mr. Wickham. Lydia had left Derbyshire and was staying with a lady,
  Mrs. Younge, who had been a governess to Miss Darcy. She was dismissed
  from her position and moved to Edward Street, where she is letting
  lodgings.
  
  austen-pride_053-1813 -- Mr. Wickham and Lydia left for Newcastle. Mrs.
  Bennet was forced to accept a separation. The housekeeper at Netherfield
  had received orders to prepare for the arrival of her master, who was
  coming down in a day or two. Mr. Bingley is coming to Netherfield on
  Thursday or on Wednesday.
  
  austen-pride_054-1813 -- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy had their first meeting
  at Longbourn on Tuesday. They were in a bad mood because of the
  behaviour of the gentlemen. They did not see each other again until
  Tuesday. On Tuesday they went to a dinner party at the Bennet's. Bingley
  was invited by Jane. He sat by her.
  
  austen-pride_055-1813 -- Mrs. Bennet invited Mr. Bingley to dinner with
  them, but he was busy, so she invited him to come tomorrow instead. He
  came tomorrow, but the ladies were not dressed, so he had to wait for
  them alone. He was a most agreeable addition to the evening party, but
  his mother was very officious.
  
  austen-pride_056-1813 -- Bingley and Miss Bennet were sitting in the
  dining-room when they were surprised by a visit from Lady Catherine de
  Bourgh. Lady Catherine was her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Bennet asked her to
  take some refreshment, but Lady Catherine declined and asked Elizabeth
  to show her the park.
  
  austen-pride_057-1813 -- Lady Catherine came to Rosings to break off her
  supposed engagement with Mr. Darcy. Lady Catherine's neighbours at Lucas
  Lodge had informed her that the engagement was almost certain and she
  had looked forward to as possible at some future time. Elizabeth wanted
  to apply to her nephew to prevent their marriage. Her father came out of
  his library with a letter in his hand. It was from Mr. Collins.
  
  austen-pride_058-1813 -- Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley came to Longbourn
  before many days had passed after Lady Catherine's visit. Mrs. Bennet,
  Darcy, Bingley, Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty and Darcy were walking out. They
  walked towards the Lucases, because Kitty wanted to call Maria. When
  Kitty left them, Elizabeth went alone with Darcy.
  
  austen-pride_059-1813 -- Lizzy is engaged to Mr. Darcy. She is worried
  about the reaction of her family. She loves him more than she loves
  Bingley. Jane is happy for her. Lydia's marriage was acknowledged at
  Pemberley.
  
  austen-pride_060-1813 -- Mr. Darcy has fallen in love with Elizabeth. He
  came to Longbourn to see her, not to ride to Netherfield and be
  embarrassed, but to see if he could make her love him. He was disgusted
  with the women who were always speaking and looking for his approval.
  Lady Catherine's unjustifiable endeavours to separate them were the
  means of removing all doubts.
  
  austen-pride_061-1813 -- Mrs. Bennet got rid of her two daughters. Mr.
  Bingley and Jane stayed at Netherfield for a year. He bought an estate
  in Derbyshire. Kitty spent her time with her two elder sisters. Mary was
  the only daughter who remained at home. Lydia married Mr. Darcy.
  
  austen-sense_001-1811 -- The late owner of the Norland Park estate left
  it to his nephew Mr. Henry Dashwood and his family. Mr. Dashwood left
  the estate to his son and daughter-in-law on terms that destroyed half
  the value of the bequest.
  
  austen-sense_002-1811 -- Mrs. John Dashwood is mistress of Norland. She
  invited her mother and sisters-in-law to stay there until she could find
  a house in the neighbourhood. Her husband agreed to divide three
  thousand pounds between his half-sister and her half-brother to help
  them when they leave Norland and settle in a new home.
  
  austen-sense_003-1811 -- Mrs. Dashwood and her daughter-in-law Elinor
  are staying at Norland for several months. They are grateful to Edward
  Ferrars for his promise of 7000L in their favour. He is the brother of
  Mrs. John Dashwood's daughter.
  
  austen-sense_004-1811 -- Edward has no taste for drawing. Elinor thinks
  he has an innate propriety and simplicity of taste, which in general
  direct him perfectly right. Marianne and her mother are fond of Edward,
  and Marianne's mother believes in him more than her.
  
  austen-sense_005-1811 -- Mrs. Dashwood is leaving Norland for Devon. She
  will live in a cottage four miles northward of Exeter. She invited her
  son-in-law and his wife to visit her at Barton Park. She took the house
  for a twelve-month-long period. The house was ready furnished and she
  might have immediate possession.
  
  austen-sense_006-1811 -- Mrs. Dashwood and her family are moving to
  Barton Cottage in the early September. It is too late in the year for
  improvements at the present time, but in the spring they may think about
  building a new drawing room and a new entrance.
  
  austen-sense_007-1811 -- Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters were invited to
  stay at Sir John's cottage at Barton Park by Lady Middleton and her
  mother. Sir John had been to several families that morning in hopes of
  procuring some addition to their number, but it was moonlight and every
  body was full of engagements. He was charmed with the family he had now
  procured for his cottage.
  
  austen-sense_008-1811 -- Mrs. Jennings wants Colonel Brandon to get
  married to Marianne Dashwood. Elinor and Marianne's mother are sceptical
  about Colonel Brandon's age and his infirmity. Mrs. Jennings has two
  daughters, both of whom she has seen married.
  
  austen-sense_009-1811 -- The Dashwoods have been living at Barton since
  the death of their father. Sir John Middleton visited them every day for
  the first fortnight. Mrs. Dashwood refused to visit any family beyond
  the distance of a walk. The whole country abounds in beautiful walks.
  Marianne and Margaret went for a two-hour walk on one of them. It was
  raining heavily and they had to turn back.
  
  austen-sense_010-1811 -- Margaret's friend, Willoughby, came to visit
  Mrs. Dashwood and Marianne the next morning. They enjoyed each other's
  company. Elinor thinks Marianne has done well so far, but she has been
  too relaxed and too frank.
  
  austen-sense_011-1811 -- Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters had many
  engagements when they first came to Devonshire. Willoughby was
  introduced to the Dashwoods by Marianne. Elinor was not so happy,
  because she had no companion that could make amends for what she had
  left behind.
  
  austen-sense_012-1811 -- Marianne got a horse from Willoughby. Elinor
  and Marianne are not fond of him, but they agree to share his horse.
  Willoughy will send his groom to take care of the horse. Marianne's
  mother doesn't want to keep any horse, so she will have to buy another
  one for the servant and build a stable.
  
  austen-sense_013-1811 -- The intended excursion to Whitwell turned out
  very different from what Elinor had expected. They didn't go at all,
  because Colonel Brandon had to go to Avignon to attend a business
  meeting. Marianne wrote a note to the housekeeper, but it didn't
  convince him to change his mind.
  
  austen-sense_014-1811 -- Colonel Brandon's sudden visit to the park left
  Mrs. Jennings wondering. She suspects he is in financial trouble.
  Willoughby and Marianne are engaged. Elinor's sister and brother-in-law
  kept their relationship secret.
  
  austen-sense_015-1811 -- Mrs. Dashwood's visit to Lady Middleton took
  place the next day, and two of her daughters went with her. Marianne was
  absent from the party, because she had a quarrel with Willoughby. Mrs.
  Smith has sent him to London on business. He will be back in a few days.
  
  austen-sense_016-1811 -- Marianne and Willoughby broke up. She wept a
  lot. She spent a lot of time at the piano and in books. She read nothing
  but what they had been used to read together. She didn't get a letter
  from him. Elinor asked her mother about it. Mrs. Dashwood explained it
  to her.
  
  austen-sense_017-1811 -- Edward came to Barton. Mrs. Dashwood was
  surprised at seeing him. He was not in spirits, but he praised their
  house, admired its prospect, was attentive and kind. Elinor wants to be
  a great orator, but she has no more talents than inclination for a
  public life. Marianne and Margaret think money can only give happiness
  where there is nothing else to give it.
  
  austen-sense_018-1811 -- Edward is going to the village to see his
  horses and will be back soon. Marianne and Elinor are talking about
  Edward's admiration of the surrounding country. Edward is not satisfied
  with Marianne's description of the picturesque.
  
  austen-sense_019-1811 -- Edward spent a week at the cottage. He had no
  pleasure at Norland and detested being in town, but he had to go either
  to Norland or London. His want of spirits, of openness, and of
  consistency were usually attributed to his want of independence and his
  better knowledge of Mrs. Ferrars's disposition and designs. Mrs.
  Dashwood was sometimes displeased with his uncertain behaviour to
  herself, but she was well disposed on the whole to regard his actions
  with all the candid allowances and generous qualifications, which had
  been more painfully extorted from her, for Willoughby's service, by her
  mother.
  
  austen-sense_020-1811 -- Mrs. Palmer invited Elinor, Marianne and
  Charlotte to the drawing-room of the park the next day. She wanted them
  to go to Barton with Mr. Palmer, but they couldn't make it as they had
  to go away again tomorrow. The weather is very bad, so Marianne couldn't
  take her usual walk to Allenham.
  
  austen-sense_021-1811 -- The Palmers returned to Cleveland the next day
  and the two families at Barton were left to entertain each other. Elinor
  had some new visitors at Barton. They were cousins of Mrs. Jennings and
  Mr. Palmer. They had been to Exeter and had met with two young ladies.
  They invited them directly to the park. Lady Middleton didn't want to
  come, but she couldn't refuse.
  
  austen-sense_022-1811 -- Lucy asked Elinor about Edward's
  sister-in-law's mother, Mrs. Ferrars, but she didn't know her. Marianne
  didn't like her because she was ill-disposed to Marianne and Miss
  Steeles.
  
  austen-sense_023-1811 -- Lucy told Elinor that Edward had been
  unfaithful to her. She suspected him at first, but now she no longer
  doubts it. Edward's relationship with Lucy was all her own. He loved
  her. He was unhappy at Norland. He might not be happy with Lucy. He had
  problems with his family.
  
  austen-sense_024-1811 -- Lucy and Elinor have been engaged for four
  years. They are waiting for Mrs. Ferrars's death. Lucy and Edward's
  relationship has stood the test of time. Lucy's relationship with Edward
  has been strained. Edward's family is dependent on his mother, and he
  has only two thousand pounds of his own.
  
  austen-sense_025-1811 -- Mrs. Jennings invites Elinor and Marianne to
  visit her in London in January. Marianne refuses, because her sister,
  Misses Dashwood, doesn't want to leave their mother at that time of the
  year. Mrs. Jennings will send Betty by coach.
  
  austen-sense_026-1811 -- Elinor and Marianne are travelling to London
  under the protection of Mrs. Jennings. Elinor is worried about
  Willoughby. Marianne is writing home to her mother. They arrive in
  London by 3 o'clock on the third day. They were put in possession of a
  comfortable apartment.
  
  austen-sense_027-1811 -- It's been warm and sunny in Barton. Elinor and
  Marianne are waiting for the arrival of Sir John and Lady Middleton, who
  will be in town by the end of next week. Colonel Brandon visited them
  almost every day. Willby will call tomorrow.
  
  austen-sense_028-1811 -- Marianne and Elinor were invited to Lady
  Middleton's party. Willoughby didn't come and didn't write to them. He
  was talking to a young lady near them. Marianne's sister caught up with
  him.
  
  austen-sense_029-1811 -- Elinor's sister, Marianne, is engaged to Mr.
  Willoughby. Marianne is very upset. Elinor is going to town with her
  sister to buy wedding clothes. Mrs. Jennings saw a letter from Marianne
  and got excited about it.
  
  austen-sense_030-1811 -- Mrs. Jennings is angry with Marianne because
  her boyfriend is getting married. Marianne is very ill. Mrs. Jennings
  tries to cheer her up. Elinor tries to comfort Marianne. The Parrys and
  Sandersons are coming to dinner tonight.
  
  austen-sense_031-1811 -- Elinor and Willoughby are engaged. Marianne is
  in London. Mrs. Jennings left them earlier than usual, because she could
  not be easy for Marianne and Elinor's sister. She sent Marianne a letter
  of comfort.
  
  austen-sense_032-1811 -- Marianne and Elinor are going to visit Mrs.
  Jennings before the middle of February. Mrs. Dashwood wants Marianne to
  stay in town and not at Barton, where she would see Willoughby all the
  time. Marianne's mother wants her to stay at Barton.
  
  austen-sense_033-1811 -- Elinor and John Dashwood visited Mr. Gray's in
  Sackville Street, where Elinor was negotiating for the exchange of a few
  old-fashioned jewels of her mother. Marianne went with her and Mrs.
  Jennings one morning for half an hour. John and Fanny spent the rest of
  the day with Mrs. Ferrars and Harry at Exeter Exchange.
  
  austen-sense_034-1811 -- The Dashwoods invited Lady Middleton and the
  Middletons to a dinner in Harley Street. They invited their sisters and
  Mrs. Jennings. Elinor couldn't find out whether her sons were going to
  be at the party. Edward was in town with Mr. and Mrs Dashwood. They were
  to meet Mrs. Ferrars.
  
  austen-sense_035-1811 -- Mrs. Ferrars took a fancy to Elinor's sister,
  Lucy, and was very kind to her. Lucy is happy with Edward's engagement
  to Lucy. Lady Middleton set Lucy down in Berkeley Street to see Elinors
  alone. Mrs. Palmer arrived soon after and took Mrs. Jennings away.
  
  austen-sense_036-1811 -- Mrs. Jennings had a son with Thomas Palmer,
  Esq. Mrs. Jennings wanted to spend more time with Charlotte, so she went
  to Conduit Street every morning as soon as she was dressed and didn't
  return till late in the evening. The Miss Dashwoods spent the whole of
  every day there at the request of the Middletons. Lady Middleton and the
  two Miss Steeles were jealous of Elinor and Marianne.
  
  austen-sense_037-1811 -- Mrs. Palmer was ill for a fortnight, so her
  mother stopped visiting her. Mrs. Jennings visited Elinor and Charlotte
  at Mr. Palmer's. She found Charlotte in a fuss about the child. Mr.
  Donavan was sent for. He convinced Charlotte that it was nothing in the
  world but the red gum. Edward Ferrars has been engaged to Nancy's cousin
  Lucy for a year.
  
  austen-sense_038-1811 -- Mrs. Jennings praised Edward's conduct. Elinor
  and Marianne were not fond of dwelling on the subject when alone.
  Marianne's courage failed her in trying to converse upon the topic. Miss
  Steele went to Kensington Gardens to talk to Mrs. Jennings. She was
  surprised to meet them.
  
  austen-sense_039-1811 -- The Miss Dashwoods have been in town for more
  than two months. Elinor and Marianne want to leave town and go to
  Barton. The Palmers were to go to Cleveland at the end of March for the
  Easter holidays. Mrs. Jennings invited them to go with her, so they will
  be back home in three weeks.
  
  austen-sense_040-1811 -- Mrs. Jennings and Elinor are very happy about
  Colonel Brandon's proposal to Colonel Brandon. They are going to
  Delaford after them. Mrs. Jennings will tell Marianne and Mr. Ferrars
  about it, but not anyone else.
  
  austen-sense_041-1811 -- Colonel Brandon has given the living of
  Delaford to Edward. Elinor wanted to visit John Dashwood, but Marianne
  and Mrs. Jennings didn't want her to go. John's wife, Fanny, was in the
  drawing-room.
  
  austen-sense_042-1811 -- Elinor, Willoughby, Charlotte and Colonel
  Brandon are travelling to Barton. They will stay there for a few months.
  Elinor's brother, John, will visit her at Delaford. Marianne will stay
  at Cleveland.
  
  austen-sense_043-1811 -- Marianne got up the next morning at her usual
  time and tried to prove that she was better, but she was ill. Elinor
  took care of her sister Marianne all day. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer's
  apothecary diagnosed Marianne with an infection. Mrs. Jennings decided
  not to stay in Cleveland as long as Marianne remained ill. She went to
  stay at a relative's house near Bath.
  
  austen-sense_044-1811 -- Elinor refuses to stay with Mr. Willoughby,
  because he is drunk. He left London this morning at 8 o'clock and is at
  Marlborough. Elinor wants him to come back to Combe.
  
  austen-sense_045-1811 -- After Willoughby left Elinor was oppressed by
  thoughts of her sister, Marianne, and her family. She felt that his
  influence over her mind was heightened by circumstances and her love for
  Marianne. When he left, she was called down stairs by the sound of
  another carriage. She ran into the hall and reached the door in time to
  receive and support her as she entered it. Mrs. Dashwood was relieved to
  see Marianne and her mother.
  
  austen-sense_046-1811 -- Marianne's illness had not been long enough to
  make her recovery slow. Mrs. Dashwood and Mrs. Jennings could not quit
  Cleveland during the Dashwoods' stay, and Colonel Brandon was invited by
  them to stay at their cottage for a few weeks. Marianne and Elinor left
  on the day of separation and departure.
  
  austen-sense_047-1811 -- Marianne broke up with Willoughby because of
  his behaviour towards Eliza. Elinor and Mrs. Dashwood think it was
  selfish of Marianne to have married him. Marianne is satisfied with her
  decision and wishes for no change.
  
  austen-sense_048-1811 -- Lucy and Edward have been married. Elinor hopes
  they will settle at Delaford. They are coming from Mr. Pratt's to her
  uncle's to see her mother and Marianne. Colonel Brandon is on his way to
  see them.
  
  austen-sense_049-1811 -- Edward was released from an imprudent
  engagement, contracted without his mother's consent, and asked Elinor to
  marry him. He was brought, not from doubt or suspense, but from misery
  to happiness. Edward spent the greatest part of his time at Longstaple
  from the age of 18 to 19 with Lucy, his aunt's niece.
  
  austen-sense_050-1811 -- Mrs. Ferrars had two sons, Edward and Robert.
  Edward was admitted to her presence and pronounced to be her son again.
  He was engaged to Miss Dashwood. Elinor and Edward were married in
  Barton church early in the autumn. Mrs. Jennings visited Edward and his
  wife in their Parsonage by Michaelmas. She found them to be one of the
  happiest couples in the world. Colonel Brandon and Marianne got married.
