My Pleasure Reading (Part 3)

John Willoughby, a man who helped Marianne to get to her house, worried about the girl and came to visit her. They fell in love each other and spent all their spare time together. Mrs. Dashwood began to suspect that the couple was secretly engaged. The lovers didn’t pay attention at any gossip. Unexpectedly, Mr. Willoughby informed Marianne and her family that his aunt was sending him to London on business. So Marianne was distraught and abandoned herself in her sorrow. Marianne continued waiting for her sweetheart and when she saw a young man at her house, she ran towards him thinking he was her John. But it was Edward Ferrars. He paid a short visit to Barton Cottage, but seemed unhappy. One day Lady Middleton’s relatives came to stay at Barton Park. Among them was a young girl Lucy, who informed Elinor of her secret four year engagement to Edward Ferrars. Elinor was shocked by this news.
