The anticipation! Written by Cheryl (10/4/2011 12:03 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, An eloquent prolepsis, penned by Mara

"'A few months more, and he, perhaps, may be walking here.'" (ch. 3)

So far, Frederick and Anne's history hasn't been mentioned. This is a tantalizing sentence - who is "he" and why does this agitate Anne so? You must turn the page and find out. And then Austen starts right in on it:

"He was not Mr. Wentworth, the former curate of Monkford, however suspicious appearances may be, but a Captain Frederick Wentworth, his brother," (ch. 4)

It's a perfect chapter ending and gets the reader to do exactly what every writer wants her to do: turn the page. ;-)
