Sense And Sensibility Page #3

- What could be more glorious?

- Your romantic sensibilities ...

"Is love a fancy or a feeling? No,

it is immortal as immaculate truth."

"It is not a blossom shed

when outh drops from life's stem."

"It grows without water, nor ray of

promise cheats the pensive gloom."

A pity

Edward has no passion for reading.

You asked him to read.

then you made him nervous.

Your behaviour is cordial. You

like him in spite of his reading.

I think him everything

that is amiable and worthy.

Praise. indeed.

He shall have my devotion when

you tell me he is to be my brother.

- What shall I do without you?

- Without me?

I'm sure you will be very happy,

but promise you won't live far away.

- There is no question of ...

- Do you love him?

I do not deny that I think

very highly of him. That I ...

... greatly esteem him.

I like him.

Esteem? Like? Use these words again

and I shall leave the room!

Believe my feelings to be stronger.

Further than that. do not believe.

Is love a fancy or a feeling?

- Or a Ferrars?

- Go to bed.

"l do not deny

that I think very highly of him."

"That I ... greatly esteem him."

"That I like him."

We are so happy

that you invited Edward to Norland.

We're all very fond of him.

We have great hopes for him.

Mother expects much of him.

And in marriage. She's determined

both he and Robert will marry well.

But I hope she desires them

to marry for love.

The heart doesn't always lead us

in the most suitable direction.

Edward is a compassionate person.

Penniless women prey on that type.

Having entered into an understanding

he would never go back on his word.

But it would lead to his ruin.

I'm worried. Mother will withdraw

all financial support from him -

- should he plant affection in less

exalted ground than he deserves.

I understand you perfectly.

Devonshire?

My cousin, Sir John Middleton,

has offered us a small house.

He must be a man of property.

He's a widower from Barton Park.

It is Barton Cottage he has offered.

A cottage? Charming.

A cottage is always very snug.

You will not leave

before the summer?

We can no longer trespass

upon your sister's goodwill.

- You will come and stay with us.

- I should like that.

Edward has long been expected

byyour mother.

Come as soon as you can, Edward.

Remember, you're always welcome.

- Can't you take him with you?

- We can't afford him.

Perhaps he could make himself useful

in the kitchen ... Forgive me.

Miss Dashwood ...

Elinor ... I must speak to you.

There is something of

great importance that I need to ...

... tell you ...

about my education.

- Your education?

- Yes.

It was conducted.

oddly enough, in Plymouth.
