Elinor saw, with great uneasiness the low spirits of her friend. His visit afforded her but a very partial satisfaction, while his own enjoyment in it appeared so imperfect.
I believe that Elinor forgives too easily but is that not the way of a Christian heart. I am curious to see what the religious sentiment of the time was and also what Austin’s personal beliefs were. Was she a Christian practicing? Was Christ important in her life and how she conducted herself?
