A Sensible Solution

Starting at the time of the Dashwood sisters' stay in London, this Sense and Sensibility adaptation and continuation follows a chain of events having been determined by an especially dark deed of Mr. John Willoughby's on the day he should have proposed to Marianne. The consequence of his cruelty places Marianne in a situation both urgent and severe, and after much internal struggling, and urging by Elinor, it is decided that the only sensible course of action is to seek help from the afore scorned, yet ever virtuous Colonel Brandon. The inspiration for this novel stemmed partially from the author's desire for a sooner wedding between the Colonel and Miss Marianne Dashwood, for she is not one for prolonged despairing and unsolved resolutions. The rest was based on the beautiful portrayal of the Colonel by the late Alan Rickman, who will always be this author's ideal Colonel Brandon.
