Summary
Fanny’s in Portsmouth! We meet all the Prices, and they do not live up to our expectations; but more importantly, the Thrush has gone out of harbor. Fanny starts to feel that Portsmouth is not going to be all that she’d hoped for. We also learn that Fanny had another sister, Mary, who died while she was at Mansfield. Topics discussed include Fanny and William’s dream home, the Crawfords’ love letters, Fanny’s rose-tinted glasses for Mansfield, the return of the fire symbolism, dirty martinis, the lack of good servants in Portsmouth, knife fights, and toasted cheese. Patron Study Questions come from Ghenet, Avi, Angelika, Linnea, and Sarah K. Topics discussed include our impressions of Fanny’s family, whether Austen’s portrayal of the Prices is fair, Fanny not fitting in with either class, all the new characters we’ve met, whether Fanny would be a different person if she’d grown up with the Prices, and a comparison between Henry and Frank Churchill. Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include a comparison between Fanny’s first day at Mansfield and her first day at Portsmouth, Fanny’s shift in status, Mr. Price in comparison to Sir Thomas, and what's going to happen with the characters we’ve left behind Funniest Quote: "But though she had seen all the members of the family, she had not yet heard all the noise they could make." Questions moving forward: How long will Fanny last here? How long will William stick around? Will Fanny befriend Susan? Who wins the chapters? Betsey!
