I hope I didn't jump the gun! :) Written by Jace (10/10/2008 11:46 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, All we know about him..., penned by Rae

We are told that Anne and Wentworth were deeply in love, and given Wentworth's personality (as told by the narrator), I can understand why he proposed to Anne in 1806. I agree with the soundess of Lady Russell's advice, but I also understand why such a man as Wentworth, impetuous and confident and optimistic by nature, would propose even early on to the woman he loved.
