Pod and Prejudice

Welcome to our new podcast, the Jennings Apologists Podcast. Marianne finds out the truth about Willoughby and doesn't take it well, everyone starts shipping Elinor and Colonel Brandon, and we meet Mrs. Ferrars. A mysterious man at the jewelers, the unfortunate return of John and Fanny Dashwood, and Eddie's pickle.Study Questions: Topics discussed include class, Lucy meeting Eddie's family, the Elinor/Brandon ship, Marianne's marriageability, and John and Fanny's return.Funniest Quote: "Elinor could have given her immediate relief by suggesting the possibility of its being Miss Morton’s mother, rather than her own, whom they were about to behold; but instead of doing that, she assured her, and with great sincerity, that she did pity her—to the utter amazement of Lucy, who, though really uncomfortable herself, hoped at least to be an object of irrepressible envy to Elinor."Questions Moving Forward: Where is Eddie?

Elinor, affected by his relation, and still more by his distress, could not speak. He saw her concern, and coming to her, took her hand, pressed it, and kissed it with grateful respect. A few minutes more of silent exertion enabled him to proceed with composure."Questions moving forward: Will we confront Willoughby? What's up with Eddie and Lucy?Who wins the chapter?
