HEATED RIVALRY SPOILERS 4:40-5:00!!!!!Volume 2 starting off uncomfortably with Sir Thomas's return and the shutting down of Mansfield Theatre. Plus, Henry Crawford's farewell tour. Topics discussed include Sir Thomas's change of heart about Fanny, rowing across the Atlantic, how to pronounce Antigua, and partiality.Patron Study Questions this week come from Marija, Avi, and Angelika. Topics discussed include whether Maria's hopes for a proposal from Henry are realistic, divorce in the 1800s, how Sir Thomas's time in Antigua influenced his behavior toward Fanny, and the departures of Henry Crawford and Mr. Yates.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include the children's reactions to Sir Thomas's return, why Lovers' Vows was a thing, and predictions for the rest of the book.Funniest Quote: "And then he would have changed the subject, and sipped his coffee in peace over domestic matters of a calmer hue; but Mr. Yates, without discernment to catch Sir Thomas’s meaning, or diffidence, or delicacy, or discretion enough to allow him to lead the discourse while he mingled among the others with the least obtrusiveness himself, would keep him on the topic of the theatre, would torment him with questions and remarks relative to it, and finally would make him hear the whole history of his disappointment at Ecclesford."Questions moving forward: What will the young people do to entertain themselves? Will Tom stick around? Will Maria and Rushworth get married? Will Yates come back for Julia?Who wins the chapters? Yates!
