She admits that she always gets a hope in her heart that something would happen to prevent Edward from Marrying Lucy; something from himself, or his friends, or on Lucy finding someone else. But Edward is married, and before he could possibly have taken orders. She assumes that Edward and Lucy must soon be settled at Delaford, and imagines Lucy being the manager of the house. She wishes to hear news about the event, but no news comes from any of their friends in London. She asks her mother when she will write to the Colonel, and she replies that the Colonel is expected to arrive in a couple of days. At that moment, a man stops his horse at their gate. But this man is not Colonel Brandon… She goes to get a better look and sees Edward. The whole house is shocked, and Elanor would have loved to say something but cannot make a sound. When he enters, he looks unhappy, and fearful. Mrs. Dashwood tries to greet him very warmly, and he mutters out a reply. Elanor wishes she did the same but instead talks of the weather. A long pause takes place. Elanor finally breaks it and asks if Mrs. Ferrars is at Longstaple, which surprises Edward. She then clarifies that she meant Mrs. Edward Ferrars. After some hesitation Edward says that she must mean Mrs. Robert Ferrars, which stuns everybody. Edward adds that they must not have heard about the union, and reaffirms his statement, saying that they were married the previous week. Elanor runs out of the room in tears of joy, closing the door behind her. Edward, stunned, and relieved by the actions of Elanor, leaves the house to walk in the road. 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.
