Perhaps you mean the passage immediately following Written by kathleen (elder) (9/11/2009 5:29 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I see it that way too., penned by Reeba

the one I quoted previously?

]Elinor being the only one who put herself forward

From Chapter 1, immediately following the description of Mrs Dashwood & Marianne encouraging each other's grief:

Elinor, too, was deeply afflicted; but still she could struggle, she could exert herself. She could consult with her brother, could receive her sister-in-law on her arrival, and treat her with proper attention; and could strive to rouse her mother to similar exertion, and encourage her to similar forbearance.
