Pod and Prejudice

Sense and Sensibility Chapters 39-41


Listen Later

This is the episode of misunderstandings. Colonel Brandon makes an offer which Mrs. Jennings misconstrues, while Edward gets the wrong idea about Elinor's affections. New Girl spoilers at 16:10!!!!!!!

Study Questions: Topics discussed include the sisters' time in London, why Brandon did what he did, the dynamics of Delaford, and the standing of the Ferrars family.

Funniest quote: "Mrs. Ferrars is one of the most affectionate mothers in the world."

Questions moving forward: Will we get back to Barton soon? What's going to happen in Cleveland? Will we see the Willoughbys?

Who wins the chapters? Colonel Brandon, obviously.

Glossary of Terms and Phrases:

ebullition (n): a sudden outburst of emotion or violence.

guinea (n): A guinea was worth £1,1s (one pound and one shilling). This is the same as £1.05 in modern money. Because a guinea was close to a pound, putting prices in guineas made the price seem less.

sangfroid (n): composure or coolness, sometimes excessive, as shown in danger or under trying circumstances.

tythes (n): the tenth part of agricultural produce or personal income set apart as an offering to God or for works of mercy, or the same amount regarded as an obligation or tax for the support of the church, priesthood, or the like.

Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Magna Carta, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the popcorn maker, Arrested Development
