Topics discussed include some clarification on marriage rules, the possibility of recovering from a broken heart, whomst Elliot's friend might be, why Elliot's proposal is a surprise, and whether Anne would accept if Wentworth proposed now.
Glossary of Terms and Phrases:
contiguous (adj.): next or together in sequence.
Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Revenge of the Sith Opera House, the Bolshoi, Curb Your Enthusiasm
Patron Study Questions:
Avi: In this chapter Wentworth offers Anne his umbrella. Do you think this is something he would have done earlier in the book? What does that signify about Wentworth and his own journey?
Ghenet: What do you think Anne and Wentworth’s conversation (about Lyme, about Benwick and Louisa etc) tells us about what he’s feeling (not just what Anne thinks he’s feeling - is she a reliable narrator in this moment?)
Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include what would change is Wentworth professed his love to Anne, Sir Walter's opinion of Wentworth, how Elliot has heard of Anne before and whether he knew she was coming to Bath, and whose team we're on.
Funniest Quote: “Yes, yes, I see you are. I see you know nothing of the matter. You have only knowledge enough of the language to translate at sight these inverted, transposed, curtailed Italian lines, into clear, comprehensible, elegant English. You need not say anything more of your ignorance. Here is complete proof.”
Questions Moving Forward: Why did Elliot come to Bath? If Wentworth proposed to Anne now, would she accept?
Who wins the chapters? Mr. Elliot

Patron Study Questions:
Avi: Earlier in the book Wentworth, clearly thinking of Anne, told Louisa that he liked firm characters. Now Louisa has changed her affection to Benwick. What do you think Wentworth’s reaction will be?
Ghenet: 1. Why do you think Louisa and Captain Benwick fell in love with each other? 2. We see Anne with members of the upper class and members of the lower class (by the Elliots’ standards) but where is it that you think Anne is most comfortable and most herself?
Emily: What point is Anne making about Benwick's character when talking about his change of heart, and is she doing him justice?
Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include the purpose widowers play in this story, what's shifted between Anne and Wentworth, Bath as a setting for their meeting.
Funniest Quote: "Anne sighed and blushed and smiled, in pity and disdain, either at her friend or herself. The part which provoked her most, was that in all this waste of foresight and caution, she should have lost the right moment for seeing whether he saw them."

Ghenet: What are your thoughts on Captain Benwick and Cousin Elliot? Why do you think they’re doing for the story at this point?

Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Mr. Elliot's reaction to Anne, Anne's transformation, the accident and what it does to the story, what it teaches us about the characters, the difference between persuadable characters and resolute characters, and Anne's separation from the rest of the party.

I have always heard of Lady Russell as a woman of the greatest influence with everybody! I always look upon her as able to persuade a person to anything!

Patron Study Questions:
Emily: Anne has very few confidantes in the book so far - how does that change how we learn about her and her hopes?
Kat: This book is often described as Austen's more deep or perhaps more serious work, but it is also incredibly funny! What do you think about the balance between the intense pining and heartache and humour in these chapters? We don’t have many sassy/witty lines like the ones in P&P, instead we have Jane Austen in her rocking chair painting a hilarious picture for us and I love it!
Ghenet: First impressions of Captain Wentworth?
Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include how Jane teaches us about Anne, the role of the Crofts, the last eight years, what Wentworth wants, and whether Anne is of feeble character.
Funniest Quote: One of the least agreeable circumstances of her residence there was her being treated with too much confidence by all parties, and being too much in the secret of the complaints of each house. Known to have some influence with her sister, she was continually requested, or at least receiving hints to exert it, beyond what was practicable. “I wish you could persuade Mary not to be always fancying herself ill,” was Charles’s language; and, in an unhappy mood, thus spoke Mary: “I do believe if Charles were to see me dying, he would not think there was anything the matter with me. I am sure, Anne, if you would, you might persuade him that I really am very ill—a great deal worse than I ever own.”
Questions Moving Forward: Does Captain Wentworth want to marry a Musgrove daughter?
Who wins the chapters? Captain Wentworth

I have made no enquiries, because I concluded you must have been obliged to give up the party.” “Oh yes! I went. I was very well yesterday; nothing at all the matter with me till this morning.
