She feels sorry for the girl, and can only think about what might have happened to her. Mrs. Dashwoods writes more and says that she thinks it is a better idea for the girls to stay in the city, as their Barton cottage would be full of memories of Willoughby, and the city would be full of distractions for the girls. She is also hopeful that if the girls stay in London that they will see their brother. Elanor accepts that she will have to see Edward again, though is not looking forward to it after learning about his engagement with Lucy Steele. Every one of their friends are appalled buy Willoughby’s behaviour, and vow to never speak to or say a kind word about him again.

The girls talk over everything that happened between Marianne and Willoughby before breakfast, and Elanor flits between emotions as her sister stays melancholic. Mrs. Jennings comes in with a letter from the girls’ mother. Sadly, the news had yet to reach Ms. Dashwood, and her letter was full of praise for Willoughby, and entreaties for Marianne to tell her more plainly if she and he are engaged. Elanor writes to her mother and explains the new situation to her while Marianne laments further. Mrs. Jennings leaves to visit some friends, and gone, the girls are visited by Colonel Brandon.Marianne flees to her room to avoid the man, and after entering, the Colonel is glad to see that Elanor is alone. He comes to explain some things to Elanor, hoping to give comfort, and lasting conviction in Marianne’s mind. The Colonel goes on to talk of his past and his relations with a woman who, to his despair, was married to his late brother. The woman and his brother divorced, and she fell into ruin, and Colonel Brandon was unable to help her as he was posted in India. When he eventually came back to England, he found the woman on her deathbed, with a small child to take care of. He adopted this girl and sent her to a private school. One day however, while staying with a friend in Bath, the girl disappeared for several months.

Elanor is shocked by this story, and after briefly exchanging a few more particulars, the Colonel takes his leave, giving Elanor permission to tell Marianne about Willoughby’s true character.
