Persuasion 5. | Behind the Hedgerow

Persuasion by Jane Austen

Mary’s inability to read the room continues as she invites herself on a walk with the Musgrove girls, Anne and Captain Wentworth. Louisa is a terrible flirt and her impropriety leads to idle and potentially damaging gossip being revealed to Captain Wentworth about Anne. An opportunity to visit the stunning seaside town of Lyme provides a much needed intermission to the somewhat claustrophobic environment of Mary and Charles’ home at Uppercross. There, Anne finds she is able to be of assistance to a grieving man, which finally provides her with a sense of accomplishment.
This episode covers chapters 10 and 11 of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
