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. ?

Another week of Persuasion has come! We're really flying through it now- the Lyme trip, complete with Louisa's unfortunate flirting accident, has come and gone, and now the fam is onto Bath. Anne is resentful and resigned but mayyyybe Mr. Elliot will make things a little better? And then again, as we (and Anne) start to see, maybe not. 🙃 This week's copy is the stunning painted edition by Harper Muse Classics which I'm obsessed with. So gorgeous!
pickI haven't given up trying to catch up! 😂 I did this on audio since that's all I could get on Libby. If, like me, you struggle with the Edmund/Fannie relationship of Mansfield Park, this might be a fun read for you. It's an irreverent take on the original, but if you know this going in, it helps. Elizabeth and Darcy make a few appearances in this, too, revisiting their roles from Pride and Premeditation. #JaneAustenThenandNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig
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. ?
