Today, Anne and Wentworth are thrown together in a variety of awkward situations, and we discover a love quadrangle.

Patron Study Questions:
Ghenet: What song - Taylor or otherwise - is on repeat on Anne’s Sad Girl™️ playlist?
Emily: Hearing Mrs Croft's account of her life as a captain's wife, how do you think Anne would have changed over the eight years if she had been married to captain Wentworth instead of the eight years that she instead spent living with her family?
Hannah: How much of the narration do you think is Anne’s internal dialog? Is it all Jane Austen from her rocking chair or a mix of both?

Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Wentworth's character and how he feels about Anne, how he feels about women, and the differences between the Musgroves' and Elliots' stances on marriage.
Funniest Quote: "Mrs Musgrove had not a word to say in dissent; she could not accuse herself of having ever called them anything in the whole course of her life."
