Chapter 38 di 50 · 13 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 38, Elinor hears from Miss Steele that Edward and Lucy remain engaged despite his loss of fortune, with marriage dependent on a church living. Lucy then writes to confirm their attachment and seek help through Elinor and Mrs. Jennings, whose praise contrasts with Elinor’s more guarded response.
