Diving back into Sense and Sensibility, chapters 4-6! We numerate Eddie's merits and flaws, the Dashwoods receive an invitation to Barton Cottage, and we travel to the sea! Topics discussed include the economics of dating in Jane Austen, Elinor's self-esteem, cousin adultery (!?), the Dashwoods as the Roses, Russian luggage customs, coastal Connecticut.
Study Questions: Team Elward, the sisters' dynamic, seaside vibes, the newfound poverty of the Dashwoods, dinner predictions
Funniest Quote: "As a house, Barton Cottage, though small, was comfortable and compact. But as a cottage, it was defective, for the building was regular, the roof was tiled, the window shutters were not painted green, nor were the walls covered with honeysuckles."
Questions Moving Forward: What's going to happen at dinner? Is this the last of Fanny and John? What about the servants?
Who wins the chapters? Marianne
