Cut from the same cloth

Marianne is my favorite too. It is nearly impossible for me to conceal my own feelings. Usually they are on my sleeve and plastered on my face. A blessing and a curse.

I love Elinor's responses to Marianne "Excuse me and be assured that I meant no offence to you, by speaking, in so quiet a way, of my own feelings. Believe them to be stronger than I have declared." She has a quiet strength and though she does not express things outwardly, she has just as much emotion as Marianne.

I am surprised at the character of the mother. I didn't know her character was so much like Marianne. Especially surprising was the fact that Elinor has to keep her mother in check where finances are concerned.

By the way Sarey, I love the title of the blog and the little intro to the right. So cute. The wallpaper is adorable. Good job sis!
