Is not Willoughby generally respected? Written by Robbin (9/13/2009 8:54 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Envious of wealth, situation, and more, penned by Mary Anne

Willoughby does seem contemptuous of Brandon saying (in short) he is respectable but common and sometimes people do criticize others for being too good when in reality they are ashamed of their own failings and do not feel equal. I do have one question. Is there any suggestion in the text other than Willoughby’s contempt for Brandon in Ch. 10 that he is not respected as Col Brandon in Barton and the surrounding villages?
