Sir John Middleton called on them every day for the first fortnight and urged them to mix with the people in the area. The girls go on many walks and have fallen in love with the country about them. One morning, Margret and Marianne, in spite of the rain, go on a walk together on the hills. Though the clouds were originally keeping away from their path, they soon closed in on top of them and showered their heads. The girls decided to run back to the cottage, but Marianne tripped and fell down the hill. A gentleman was walking nearby and came to her assistance and carried her down the hill to Barton cottage. The man exchanged some polite pleasantries with the family and then left. In the afternoon, Sir John Middleton came by, and the girls flooded him with questions about the handsome stranger, called Willoughby. Sir John seemed to be shocked that he was in the area but went on to explain that no better man existed, and after mentioning that he danced all night at a ball held last year, Marianne became attached. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.
