Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Abstract: The party is supposed to go on a picnic to the estate of Colonel Brandon’s brother-in-law, but they end up not going at all because Colonel Brandon gets a distressing letter that morning, and is forced to leave to attend to related business. Marianne is growing increasingly more reckless, and is exposing herself imprudently to the possibility of great disappointment in her relationship with Willoughby.
