The letter which Mrs Dashwood had got was from her cousin, Colonel
Brandon. He wanted to rent a big house very close to his own house.
Mrs Dashwood accepted the proposal and so the ladies went to
London. Barton Cottage was situated by a river and they liked it a
lot. They soon met their neighbours when they had dinner at Barton
Cottage. When everybody found out that Marianne liked music, they
asked her to play the guitar. Sir and Lady Middleton listened carefully
to the music. During dinner, Mrs Jennings decided that Colonel
Brandon was in love with Elinor. Marianne thought it was completely
absurd because she thought that Colonel Brandon was too rich to be in
love.
One day, Marianne and Margaret went for a walk. It started to snow.
Marianne fell down as she was running down a hill. She couldn’t get up
again. A gentleman helped her and carried her back to her horse. His
name was Willoughby. Marianne soon fell in love with him. They liked
different amusements. Everybody saw that they were in love with each
other.
