Persuasion: Chapters 17 - 20
Anne is still stuck in Bath, but at least now she has a friend. After dealing with her family for too long, Anne is pleased to find an old school friend who is staying in Bath due to illness and financial troubles. What's more, the Crofts have come to Bath as well and Anne takes a walk with the admiral to find out that there is news of Louisa - also that Wentworth is on his way. Before she knows it, Anne's thoughts shift from avoiding her family to spending time near Wentworth.
This week Elle and Catrina discuss all of the happenings in Bath. Everyone is milling about, sending letters, and repeating the same gossip over and over. Catrina highlights Anne's apprehension of Mr. Elliot now that she has spent more time with him. Elle, on the other hand, wonders if Mr. Elliot didn't pull a John Thorpe and say something shady to Wentworth about Anne.
At least there is some good Austen-swooning romance brewing!
