We talk about Margaret&#8217;s contribution to the plot, how Elinor and Marianne&#8217;s debate on sense vs sensibility moves from the theoretical to the practical, the linking of propriety with morality, how the mystery subplot is quite unusual in Jane Austen, and the nasty tone of some of Willoughby&#8217;s jokes about Colonel Brandon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> We discuss the character of Colonel Brandon, then Harriet&#8217;s partner Michael talks about the military, with a focus on service in the East Indies. Harriet talks about how adaptations and modernisations treat these chapters, and the presentation of Colonel Brandon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2> Things we mention:   <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> References: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Jane Nardin, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Those Elegant Decorums: The concept of propriety in Jane Austen's novels (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/489031.Those_Elegant_Decorums_The_Concept_of_Propriety_in_Jane_Austen_s_Novels\" target=\"_blank\">Those Elegant Decorums: The concept of propriety in Jane Austen&#8217;s novels<\/a><\/em> (1973)<\/li><li>Samuel Richardson, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pamela  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/417549.Pamela\" target=\"_blank\">Pamela <\/a><\/em>(1740)<\/li><li>Samuel Richardson, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/529243.Clarissa_or_the_History_of_a_Young_Lady\" target=\"_blank\">Clarissa, or, the History of a Young Lady<\/a><\/em> (1748)<\/li><li>Horace Walpole, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Castle of Otranto (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/12923.The_Castle_of_Otranto\" target=\"_blank\">The Castle of Otranto<\/a><\/em> (1764)<\/li><li>Sheila Kaye-Smith and G.B.
