Persuasion, Chapter 2

Sir Walter Elliot's money troubles are serious - serious enough that the family absolutely must retrench. But mere cuts to their household budget (journeys, London, servants, horses, table...all the comforts of baronet life) aren't enough. The family will have to quit Kellynch Hall, relocate, and, much to Sir Walter's chagrin let their beloved home. While Anne wants to stay nearby in the country, her wishes are, as always, disregarded, and instead the family will be making their way off to Bath. As the Elliots plan their move, let their journey away from Kellynch help you on your own journey away from the day and into a night of soft and restful sleep.
