Don't tell anyone, but I think it's about three years since I read any Jane Austen and I had the speediest and most worried look at S & S before tackling this. (It almost took me back to exam days, lol.)

So I'm greatly reassured to hear that you liked this. It seemed a shame to me that so much time is given to Marianne and Willoughby, and then it ends quite quickly with the news that she's going to marry Brandon - much like with R/T, just another paragraph or so on that would have been much appreciated. I like to think that their marriage would have brought back all her energy and enthusiasm, but in a much more mature way, and given and restored so much to him, too. Glad you think this works and thanks for commenting!:D
