Agree, and... Written by Tess (9/24/2012 12:41 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Paradox in the personalities of Elinor & Marianne, penned by BarbaraB

... I love the way Elinor teases people. I always imagine her saying these things with such a straight face (British humor wise). Even her mother does not escape: "You must begin your improvements upon this house and your difficulties will soon vanish".

Edward also uses wit in a similar manner (when he actually is in good spirits). Wasn't he taking a dig at Marianne about her admiration for old twisted trees?
