Summary
"That sister of yours," Papa said, his knife flashing, "flies through life on swift wings, much as her mother does. While you, my mouse, are my child through and through; we neither of us choose to leave the solid earth under our feet."
Elinor knew herself to be most closely aligned with Papa, but had not framed the differences between her parents — or between herself and Marianne — as such a stark dichotomy. "And Margaret?" she asked, curious about how her youngest sister was viewed.
Papa chortled as he set the first pencil down, the point fine and sharp, the smell of shaved wood spicing the air. "Margaret would swim the oceans with a knife in her teeth if she could," he said, and Elinor could not help laughing too. "Today the Channel, tomorrow the Atlantic."

Summary
A selection of letters sent after Elizabeth and Darcy become engaged.
From an unwillingness to confess how much her intimacy with Mr Darcy had been over-rated, Elizabeth had never yet answered Mrs Gardiner's long letter; but now, having that to communicate which she knew would be most welcome, she was almost ashamed to find that her uncle and aunt had already lost three days of happiness, and immediately wrote…
Mr Darcy's letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style; and still different from either was what Mr Bennet sent to Mr Collins, in reply to his last.
The joy which Miss Darcy expressed on receiving similar information, was as sincere as her brother's in sending it. Four sides of paper were insufficient to contain all her delight, and all her earnest desire of being loved by her sister.
