I was struck by some odd parallels, during this GR. The point that was made early on about how, at the time of the engagement, Wentworth showed every sign of being as spendthrift as Sir Walter, for example. I have thought a lot about how Lady Russell, who probably saw her friend's youthful infatuation which made her Lady Elliot, may have thought she saw this happening over again. In the end, of course, she is proved wrong.
