in consequence of the missive, Is this a jot or a tittle?, penned by Anselm
We see from Chapter 1 that Mrs Dashwood & Marianne "gave themselves up wholly to their sorrow, seeking increase of wretchedness in every reflection that could afford it, and resolved against ever admitting consolation in future." I suspect that this behaviour lasted long enough that Elinor was the only one of the Dashwood ladies who bothered to spend time with Edward during the early part of his visit(s). |
