she doesn't hide her uselessness! I am of no use at home -- am I?

She is such a hypochondriac! It is amazing to me that she even had two children!

Mary is nothing like her sister Elizabeth nor Sir Walter but in a way she is...she has an air about her...granted it is not like that of her sister or her father but I always feel she disguises it by "always being sick". She just wants people to dote on her.

How dare she say to Anne she doesn't have the feelings of a mother!! After all, isn't it Anne who is responible for all of them? Doesn't Anne take care of everyone!!!

Thing is I don't loathe Mary. I just think she is a silly heart and she doesn't treat Anne too too badly...she may say the wrong things sometimes but I think if Anne is close to any of her sisters it is Mary.

Sorry for the over thinking on this. I do over think Persuasion way too much for my own good!
