Chapter XVII
Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen
Abstract: Mrs. Dashwood is happy to see that Edward has come, and welcomes him very warmly as their guest. Again, the theme of money is shown to be of importance to the Dashwood girls; they cannot sustain themselves on their very small fortunes, and this limits their choices.
