Margaret for Marianne Written by CarolB (9/23/2006 1:10 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Yes..., penned by BarbaraB

The last sentence of Chapter 1:

Margaret, the other sister, was a good-humoured, well-disposed girl; but as she had already imbibed a good deal of Marianne's romance, without having much of her sense; she did not, at thirteen, bid fair to equal her sisters at a more advanced period of life.

Marianne is indeed in the middle - she has more sense than her little sister and less than her big one. She is in the middle in another way: part of the trio of romantically inclined family members, with her younger sister and her mother.
