Marianne is very quiet, presumably thinking of Willoughby, forcing Elanor to talk with their host for the 3 days’ journey. Once they arrive in London, the Miss Dashwoods write letters, Elanor to her mother, and Marianne to whom Elanor suspects to be Willoughby. Marianne is anxious all day and thinks that every carriage passing by is a sign of Willoughby. Finally, when someone knocks on the door and Marianne’s excitement was at its peak, and it turns out to be Colonel Brandon, Marianne flees from the room. Elanor talks with the Colonel briefly before the entrance of Mrs. Jennings, who presses him to reveal the secrets behind his departure. Marianne is melancholic for the rest of the day. In the morning Marianne is happy again, expecting to see Willoughby. Mrs. Palmer comes over, and is so happy at seeing the Miss Dashwoods, and all of the women of the house go into town. While the rest are occupied by shopping, Marianne is looking all over for Willoughby’s figure or face, failing to see him anywhere. When they go home, she is informed by the footman that no letters had arrived for her either. 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.
