Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 33

Marianne finally agrees to go out of the house with Elinor. On their shopping trip, they are surprised to run into none other than their older brother, John Dashwood. He is genuinely happy to see his sisters, and calls on them at Mrs. Jennings's house the next day (without his wife Fanny, of course). After meeting all of their new acquaintances, John Dashwood is pleased to see that they all appear to be much richer and more elegant than he was expecting. He even thinks that Colonel Brandon has eyes for Elinor, and that Mrs. Jennings may be fond enough of Elinor and Marianne to leave them money in her will. After all, John's financial demands are so great that he needs to be sure that someone will take care of his sisters. With everyone in town, it's a family reunion of sorts for the Dashwoods, and the perfect occasion to help you relax and fall into a night of peaceful sleep.
