CHAPTER Thirteen
Charles returns from Lyme and sends the family’s old nursemaid to help Mrs. Harville nurse Louisa. Anne goes to stay with Lady Russell. After a few days she gets enough courage to call on the Crofts, who live in her former home. There she finds that the note she received about Louisa’s health had been brought by Captain Wentworth. She also discovers that when he had been at Kellynch he had inquired about her and expressed concern over her exertions at Lyme. Anne enjoys the company of the Crofts, who are very hospitable, and is happy they have made so few changes to the house.
1. Anne is very happy to hear that Captain Wentworth has inquired about her. Her heart is still his, and she hungers for every piece of information about him so she can try to piece together how he feels about her. Go back through the chapters in which he appears and list all his interactions with her. Is there hope for this relationship?
2. The Crofts are portrayed as one of the few happily married couples in the novel. What is there about their relationship that seems so different from the other relationships shown (Mary and Charles, the elder Musgroves)?
CHAPTER Fourteen
Louisa is making a slow recovery at Lyme. Charles and Mary return to Uppercross with very definite opinions of Captain Benwick. Mr. and Mrs. Musgrove bring the Harville children home with them for the Christmas holidays. Because Anne
and Lady Russell are present for the noisy Christmas celebration, Lady Russell is very glad to get away and travel to Bath.
1. What kinds of things seem to make Mary happy? Why might women at the time of the novel have focused on such things?
2. Why does Charles believe that Captain Benwick is very taken with Anne? What facts does he use to draw this conclusion? What signs do we use today to confirm that someone might be interested in us?
3. Over the Christmas holiday it is very popular to go to vacation spots. In Jane Austen’s day, Bath was a very popular spot with the landed gentry. Why?
