Marianne tries to leave her sister alone with Edward, but he decides instead to go and check on his horses. This seems to have been a good thing however, as he seems to appreciate the village and countryside a lot more than before. Marianne presses him to describe the areas as he sees them, but he refuses, as he has no knowledge of the picturesque. To him, it is a fine country, but nothing more, he cannot describe the country better. During this conversation, Marianne happens to notice a ring on Edward’s finger, which is embossed with a plait of hair. Marianne thinks this hair to come from his sister, but Elanor knows it to actually be her own hair, and she is finally relieved and convinced once again is Edward’s affections. At the middle of the day, they are greeted by Sir Middleton, and Mrs. Jennings, where the two are very quick to learn that Edward’s surname begins with an F. Sir John Middleton also invites them all to tea, and to supper so that they can get to know this gentleman better. Sir John laments about Willoughby’s absence, and following his and Mrs. Jenning’s departure, Edward goes to Marianne to poke fun at her regarding this unknown man.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.
