Sense and Sensibility, Volume the Third, Chapters Nine and Ten

In which the Dashwood family is happily reunited and returns to Barton, where Marianne continues to recover her strength and settle her spirits, and is made acquainted with Willoughby's story.



And now we're barreling towards our presumably happy ending (unless Marianne pulls a Beth March on us). Marianne's brush with death has apparently taught her a bit of a lesson, re: her feelings, and indulgence thereof. But no one we like has gotten married yet! I assume that will be taken care of soon. ROMANCE.

No illustrations of the happy Dashwoods together again; no, we'll see "how the children go on," or something:

18:16 - "And see how the children go on."

If you would like to read along, the text can be found at Project Gutenberg, and high-res copies of the Thompson illustrations can be found in the British Library's Flickr stream. No reading ahead, though!
