Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 34

When Fanny Dashwood finally meets Lady Middleton, it's a match made in heaven, and Fanny even likes Mrs. Jennings -- she likes them all so much that she invites them all to dine with her at their London home. The Miss Steeles are staying with the Middletons, so they'll be joining for dinner too, as will Fanny's formidable mother, Mrs. Ferrars. Fanny and Mrs. Ferrars warm to Lucy Steele's unique charms, while remaining cold towards Elinor, a fact that almost amuses her. But it doesn't amuse Marianne, who only sees their unbearable rudeness and has no choice but to stick up for her sister. All the while, John Dashwood is talking up Elinor to Colonel Brandon, hoping to secure a match between the two. It's a dinner full of misguided assumptions, and while our characters may be wrongheaded, their story is just right to help you into a night of restful and restorative sleep.
