In Sense and Sensibility, Elinor is a really admirable girl. I guess you could call her a model person, embodying many good traits.
One of those is her toleration of people. Whereas Marianne likes to flee annoying company, Elinor does not find it so easy to act so inconsiderably. The reader must sympathize with Elinor as she has to take on the tough job of speaking civilly to the most ridiculous of visitors and acquaintances.
However, this remarkable toleration does bring good to Elinor when she finds out about Lucy Steele's secret involving her beloved Edward Ferrars... *gasp*
