Sense and Sensibility Again

Oh, how I dreaded it...

No, but Elinor HAD to find out!

She had to find out that her beloved... is engaged!

*shocked gasps float from the audience*

Jane Austen has Elinor handle her emotions quite well. It's really quite astonishing... being faced with such brutal and cruel knowledge and every inch of her heart being denied, Elinor kept face. Not on the inside, but en face with Lucy Steele she didn't make any a distressed move.

The only thing to perhaps give her away to Lucy was her sudden hardness of character... but Lucy doesn't think much. She's not the type to read deep into people, and even less into introverted and quiet individuals, like Elinor, who do not wear their hearts on their sleeve.
