Is it not also a perfect way Written by Ann2 (9/24/2006 11:27 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I took it to mean..., penned by Barbara

to catch Willoughby's attention? A young girl caught up in a moment of wild joy without regard for exaggerated propriety would likely call forth his romantic sensibilities. I'm pretty sure he would have heard and seen them before he was given this incentive to interfere.

[I ought not to speak before reading all your posts but I can't always stay silent and will only speak when temptation gets too great.]

Is not Willoughby like Marianne in that he has this immature approach to life? It suits him perfectly to enter their lifes like this romantic rescuer.
It might be by his design or just in the eyes of Mrs Dashwood and Marianne that he makes this exit:
Jane Austen writes. ...he then departed, to make himself still more interesting, in the midst of a heavy rain. !!
