Persuasion, Chapter 5
Sir Walter's meeting with Admiral Croft is satisfactory, and their agreement is finalized, which means that the Elliots are off to Bath. Or rather, Sir Walter and Elizabeth are headed to Bath, but they will be joined by Mrs. Clay instead of Anne. It's quite an affront, but one that is softened somewhat by an invitation from Anne's other sister, Mary, to stay with her at her home in Uppercross. So Anne is staying close by to Kellynch instead. At least she's wanted here, which is more than she can say for Bath. As she settles in with Mary's in-laws, the Musgroves, let her story help you settle in under your covers as you drift away into a night of gentle sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
