hello I have my copy open and I cant find what your referring to are you SURE it was ch 18??

Wait a minute who is elinor and edward isnt that sense and sesnsibility???
yes it is ...
hummm no not sure I mean an F as in Fitz means the illigitimate son of whoever so Fitzwilliam is "son of william."

Mind you a note here that Ive always found odd Mr darcy in P&P is fitzwilliam but his prents were also definatly married the only possible conclusion ( espessially becasue of his cousins name is that that particular name had become a family name maybe the founding Darcy was a Fitz.

The book you are reading isn't Persuasion, it's Sense & Sensibility.

F= Ferrars. Edward Ferrars. The man that Elinor secretly loves.
