Pod and Prejudice

In today’s chapter, we learn what really happened with Maria and Henry. Edmund and Mary are broken up once and for all, and Fanny finally tells Edmund how Mary reacted to the news of Tom’s illness. Topics discussed include the effect Maria’s actions have on Mr. Rushworth, Sir Thomas’s endless despair, and dickmatism. Patron Study Questions come from Avi and Mari. Topics discussed include the future of the Crawford and Bertram families and how Mary feels about Maria.Becca's Study Questions: Topics discussed include Fanny’s new role at Mansfield park in relation to Norris, Mary’s crime and punishment, Henry’s crime and punishment, whether Mary ever loved Edmund and Fanny, Edmund’s lessons learned, and how Jane Austen feels about the Edmund/Mary breakup.Funniest Quote: However that might be, she was unmanageable. But had she been less obstinate, or of less weight with her son, who was always guided by the last speaker, by the person who could get hold of and shut him up, the case would still have been hopeless, for Mrs. Rushworth did not appear again, and there was every reason to conclude her to be concealed somewhere with Mr. Crawford, who had quitted his uncle’s house, as for a journey, on the very day of her absenting herself.Questions moving forward: What happened with Julia and Yates???Who wins the chapters?

Today, things begin to grow in the rice pudding. Mr. Rushworth has the hots for landscaping, Molly gets bitchcrackers for Miss Crawford, and the tides turn on our affections for Edmund when he lends out Fanny's mare.
