We have a PROPOSAL (Graham, the sound effect)!!! We learn the real reason Henry went to London, Fanny doubts Henry's intentions, Henry comes to dinner, and Mary and Fanny exchange letters. Topics discussed include the Crawfords' breeding and capacity for change, Fanny's sleep paralysis demon, leaving unpleasant conversations, Lady Bertram's privilege, Fanny's OOO message, and the ultimate question of why Henry is in love with Fanny.A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spoilers 39:55-42:15!!!Patron Study Questions come from Avi, Linnea, and Emily. Topics discussed include Mary's intimacy with Fanny and whether it's genuine, William's promotion and whether Henry is using it to manipulate Fanny, and whether the family will find out about the proposal.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include how this proposal is different from other proposals, why Henry proposed at this moment, what William's promotion means for Fanny, and the end of Volume II.Funniest Quote: While her heart was still bounding with joy and gratitude on William’s behalf, she could not be severely resentful of anything that injured only herself; and after having twice drawn back her hand, and twice attempted in vain to turn away from him, she got up, and said only, with much agitation, “Don’t, Mr. Crawford, pray don’t! I beg you would not. This is a sort of talking which is very unpleasant to me. I must go away. I cannot bear it.”Questions moving forward: Will Henry try again? Will he change? What will happen with Mary and Edmund?Who wins the chapters? Fanny AND William!Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Avatar: The Last Airbender, A Midsummer Night's Dream, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, The Mandalorian, Aladdin, Falling For Christmas, The Good PlaceNext Episode: Mansfield Park Volume III Chapter 1Our show art was created by Torrence Browne, and our audio is produced by Graham Cook.
