After dinner, Mrs. Jennings was still talking about the changes in her friends after Colonel Brandon left. Yes, there have been many changes in everyone in the past two months, which provided Mrs. Jennings with a lot of topics.

The first thing she talked about was of course the recent changes in her beloved guest, Miss Marianne. She described in detail Marianne's anxious, irritable and sad look when they entered the city, but when they, that is, Marianne and Willow After meeting at a ball, the two actually reconciled as before, even more deeply emotional than before, and the two could hardly wish to stick together all day long.When Marian heard this, she pretended to be indifferent and ran away to play the piano, but the flush on her face was impossible to ignore.Then, last Tuesday, Willoughby proposed to Marianne at Mrs. Jennings's home, and Marianne ecstatically agreed, and received everyone's unanimous blessing.

Of course, Hathaway noticed the disapproval look on Eleanor's face at this moment.

If Hathaway remembers correctly, before she left Barton, Sir John said that he would no longer regard Willoughby as a friend, and would no longer welcome his appearance. Could it be that everyone has forgotten it in the past few months? What has he done?

I carefully inquired about the reason why everyone forgave Willoughby so easily. It turned out that his right hand was seriously injured. Whether it was out of sympathy or pity, or because Willoughby persuaded everyone with a smooth tongue, in short The fact that he once seduced Hathaway was actually forgiven in this way.This really left Hathaway at a loss for what to say, because she let everyone see Willoughby's true colors, and then everyone accepted him again because of the Colonel.

For Marianne's choice, Hathaway can only say that she wished her good luck. Whether she simply wanted to prove that her relationship was strong enough, or she forgave him out of love for Willoughby, she felt that she really Enough good luck is required.

Then Mrs. Jennings gave another piece of good news, Colonel Brandon, whose name was often heard, though never seen, and that was the marriage of Mr. Edward Fellers to Miss Lucy.They had been engaged for four years, but had kept it secret for fear of Mrs. Ferrars' disapproval. Miss Steele had slipped the news when Sister Steele was visiting at Dashwood's in February. It was leaked, which caused Mrs. Dashwood to fly into a rage and became ill for several days. Mrs. Ferrars also flatly objected when she heard about it, saying that if Edward insisted on marrying Miss Lucy, she would no longer recognize Edward. He is his own son, and he can never get his own property.

Speaking of this matter, everyone couldn't help expressing their opinions, scolding Mrs. Ferrars's arrogance, Mrs. Dashwood's brutality, and Edward's noble character. Such topics were their favorite topics. Once you start talking, you can't stop.Half an hour had passed since they had finished expressing their opinions, and Eleanor had remained silent during this period, and talking about this topic would only embarrass her.

Then Mrs. Jennings said that Edward was going to get a priest's job, and that he wanted to go to Oxford to try his luck and see if he could get a curate. "When he gets a vicarage! Well, we all know that will What an end. They waited a year, found nothing, and ended up living on a vicarage of fifty pounds a year, with interest on the two thousand, and what Mr. Steele and Mr. Pratt could give her. They're going to have a baby every year! God bless you! How poor are they going to be! I'll see what I can get them, and help them furnish their house?" Mrs. Jennings was full Discussing sadly.

Then she asked enthusiastically: "Colonel, do you have any connections to help poor Edward find a priesthood?"

Colonel Brandon thought about it. He looked at Hathaway. Delaford did have a priesthood, but he felt that he had to consult his future wife on this matter. Hathaway looked at him and then He looked away calmly, the colonel understood what she meant, and in the end he could only reply to Mrs. Jennings that he was going to inquire and inform them if there was any good news.

Hathaway stared at Eleanor for a while. To be honest, she didn't mind being neighbors with Eleanor. Both her and Edward's character were commendable, but what happened to Marianne made her less optimistic about the future. Sure, so she was a little worried that if Edward really married Lucy in the end, she might not be able to bear a pastor's wife like Lucy as a neighbor.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Colonel Brandon and Hathaway had to say goodbye and leave, because he promised that Hathaway's brother would send her back as soon as possible. He wondered if it wasn't for the warm hospitality of the Middleton family Wei, Philip wouldn't even agree to let him take Hathaway out.

When leaving, Colonel Brandon informed everyone that he and Hathaway will hold their wedding at Westminster Abbey in London on the first weekend of June this year.

Everyone exclaimed, and then congratulated them warmly and sincerely. Sir John even jokingly said: "To be honest, Brandon, I thought I would never wait for this day. You should have your wedding a long time ago. congratulations!"

Of course, Colonel Brandon also had a lot of complaints about this matter. After getting engaged last year, he always hoped to get married as soon as possible, but until this year when they returned from Manchester, Philip still did not let go. Hathaway said a while ago that he hoped to have a happy marriage. The bride in June, Philip finally reluctantly agreed. Of course, he didn't need to mention these words. The most important thing was that he was going to get married soon.

After embracing Sir John, Colonel Brandon and Hathaway got into the carriage. He didn't want Philip to change his mind temporarily.
