Hello,

I know I am a bit late, but I would like to talk about the conversation Marianne and Elinor are having about wealth and happiness at the start of chapter 17.
When I first read this dialog, it struck me as very improper, although neither Elinor, Mrs Dashwood nor Edward seem to mind.

I felt uneasy to see them talk so freely with Edward Ferrars about the "ideal" income and wealth, and everything they would do if someone could give them a large fortune apiece.
