Ch. 24 (Vol II, Ch XII) Conclusion. "She gloried in being a sailor‘s wife, but she must pay the tax of quick alarm for belonging to that profession which is, if possible, more distinguished in its domestic virtues than in its national importance. THE END."
Read the final pages on the Book Porch with rain, cozy blanket, & a wee whiskey. Such a joy to reread a chapter a day.

Chapter 23 (Volume II, Chapter 11) "The letter, with a direction hardly legible, to Miss A. E." - Persuasion
I love this Signet Classic mass market in my collection. ✉️

Only one more chapter!
Chapter 22 (Volume II, Chapter 10): "I hope you do not think I am so illiberal as to want every man to have the same objects and pleasures as myself. I have a great value for Benwick; and when one can but get him to talk, he has plenty to say. His reading has done him no harm, for he has fought as well as read." - Persuasion
Charles Musgrove said something logical. ?

Ch. 21 (Vol. II, Ch. 9): him. "Hear the truth, therefore, now, while you are unprejudiced." - Persuasion.
Mrs Smith spills the tea! ?
Here's a lovely flashback to Pemberlittens readalong back in 2021. We dismantled The Glasshouse and moved it bit by bit to new house. All pieces are neatly stacked in a corner of the shop building, to hopefully rise again one day.

Chapter 20 (Volume II, Chapter 8.) “You were a good while at Lyme, I think?”
Seaside is such a big part of Persuasion's storyline. Has me thinking about that time I carried The Lonely Shore: Jane Austen and the Sea by Julia Fry with me on vacation just so I could read on the beach.
Because it was a gift I was extra careful not to get it wet or full of sand. 🌊

Ch19 (Vol II, Ch 7) "While Admiral Croft was taking this walk with Anne, and expressing his wish of getting Captain Wentworth to Bath, Captain Wentworth was already on his way thither. Before Mrs. Croft had written, he was arrived; and the very next time Anne walked out, she saw him."
Persuasion just inspires walking. I took late afternoon walk to the pond and read my chapter. ?

Ch 18 (Vol II, Ch VI) "He was ordered to walk, to keep off the gout, and Mrs. Croft seemed to go shares with him in every thing, and to walk for her life, to do him good."
Time has passed. No longer at Uppercross in Fall, moved on to February in Bath.
Spotted on my walk yesterday, gorgeous red leaves of maple in my yard, looking across to more fall color around neighbors pond. ?

Chapter 17. (Volume II, Chapter V). "While Sir Walter and Elizabeth were assiduously pushing their good fortune in Laura-place, Anne was renewing an acquaintance of a very different description." - Persuasion.
Something I've never noticed before. Persuasion has Chapter Titles. I don't remember any other Austen books having anything but numbers. ?

Chapter 16 (Volume II, Chapter IV):"In the course of the same morning, Anne and her father chancing to be alone together, he began to compliment her on her improved looks;" - Persuasion.
I think this cover has made Anne too glamorous but it is a gorgeous edition. ?

I must confess, on first reading as a young woman it didn't speak to me the way that Pride and Prejudice did. 30 years later I revisited after reading on Modern Mrs Darcy Blog https://modernmrsdarcy.com/ that it was a perfect fall read. My older eyes saw its beauty.⬇️

3️⃣ The Letter! I swoon every time.
4️⃣ Obviously the letter but also “But I hate to hear you talking so, like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures. We none of us expect to be in smooth water all our days.”⬇️
