Rereading S&S and Mrs Jennings is just chef's kiss ❤️
Mrs. Jennings is the best! Here are my favourite parts of her:
She [Mrs. Jennings] then went away, walking on tiptoe out of the room, as if she supposed her young friend’s affliction could be increased by noise... Elinor, who did justice to Mrs. Jennings’s kindness, though its effusions were often distressing, and sometimes almost ridiculous, made her those acknowledgments, and returned her those civilities, which her sister could not make or return for herself. Their good friend saw that Marianne was unhappy, and felt that every thing was due to her which might make her at all less so. She treated her therefore, with all the indulgent fondness of a parent towards a favourite child on the last day of its holidays. Marianne was to have the best place by the fire, was to be tempted to eat by every delicacy in the house, and to be amused by the relation of all the news of the day. Had not Elinor, in the sad countenance of her sister, seen a check to all mirth, she could have been entertained by Mrs. Jennings’s endeavours to cure a disappointment in love, by a variety of sweetmeats and olives, and a good fire.... “My dear,” said she, entering, “I have just recollected that I have some of the finest old Constantia wine in the house that ever was tasted, so I have brought a glass of it for your sister. My poor husband! how fond he was of it! Whenever he had a touch of his old colicky gout, he said it did him more good than any thing else in the world. Do take it to your sister.” -Ch 30, Sense & Sensibility
I too believe that wine, olives, tiptoeing, and good fires is the best way to get over a disappointed heart!

"There’s something really dangerous about [Cesare], but I don’t know, I felt him from the inside. I said, “That could be me.” Like, if I was in that position, I could do these things. Which is probably very scary." — FRANÇOIS ARNAUD

There is something so motherly and yet a little bit wicked all at once about Mrs Jennings. She’s no image of perfection. She’s vulgar and embarrassing with her penchant for gossip and teasing. But she isn’t just that. She’s loyal and generous and good-natured. She can tell when people are cold-hearted like Mrs John Dashwood, so she doesn’t just like everyone. She doesn’t hold back on passing judgment when people disappoint her like Willoughby, Mrs Ferrars, and Lucy. She lacks the level of refinement and sensitivity that the highest order of Austen’s characters have, but she isn’t one to just disregard as ONLY comic relief. One of the best things about her is she often spouts a bit of nonsense in with wise things that make you check you understood her correctly. She is good-hearted and sincere in her affection for Marianne and Elinor, but she isn’t always self-aware, sensitive or even logical. This combination allows her to say some of the most delightfully silly things with utmost sincerity. Mrs Jennings is one of my favorite characters because she keeps you on your toes with her ability to say something nonsensical after saying something so wise.
Wise with a a dash of silly (because her being pretty is irrelevant)
“Well, it is the oddest thing to me, that a man should use such a pretty girl so ill! But when there is plenty of money on one side, and next to none on the other, Lord bless you! they care no more about such things! -- "
Wise and prudent. Willoughby COULD marry Marianne if he wanted and was patient. It would just be a less financially extravagant lifestyle. He is not a victim. He makes his own choices.
“Fifty thousand pounds! and by all accounts it won't come before it's wanted; for they say he is all to pieces. No wonder! dashing about with his curricle and hunters! Well, it don't signify talking, but when a young man, be he who he will, comes and makes love to a pretty girl, and promises marriage, he has no business to fly off from his word only because he grows poor, and a richer girl is ready to have him. Why don't he, in such a case, sell his horses, let his house, turn off his servants, and make a thorough reform at once? I warrant you, Miss Marianne would have been ready to wait till matters came round. But that won't do, now-a-days; nothing in the way of pleasure can ever be given up by the young men of this age."
And then a hilarious and nonsensical observation, hypothesis, and advice all wrapped in one. Has she actually met her good friend Colonel Brandon? She certainly doesn’t understand his or Marianne’s depths if she thinks he will laugh over M’s misfortunes or that M will just quickly transfer her affections to him if she can just forget Willoughby exists.
“Well, my dear, 'tis a true saying about an ill wind, for it will be all the better for Colonel Brandon. He will have her at last; aye, that he will. Mind me, now, if they an't married by Midsummer. Lord! how he'll chuckle over this news!…One shoulder of mutton, you know, drives another down. If we can but put Willoughby out of her head!"

Who's your favorite S&S character?
Mrs. Jennings.
I admire Elinor, but I love Mrs. Jennings. She's a rich widow, living her best life, antagonizing teenagers like a boss. But then when the going gets tough, she's right there. When the truth comes out about Willoughby, she's offering Marianne olives and ready to thrown down against the man who hurt her.
When Marianne gets sick, Mrs. Jennings doesn't leave with her grandbaby, she is there for Marianne. A teenager she's known for a few months and isn't related to at all. The Dashwood sisters can't count on their half-brother, but Mrs. Jennings is ready to take on the world for them.
The found family aspect of Sense & Sensibility is making me tear up. The contrast between Sir John and John Dashwood is just so poignant.
Mrs. Jennings has a heart of gold. Love her forever.

DAVID OAKES as George Plantagenet in ' The White Queen' (1.07) ↴
"He's got that sort of middle child syndrome and he's also sandwiched between two kings of England, so it's not really fair, he's a bit bitter to tell the truth."

Mr. Bates vs The Post Office (2024)
One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history where hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system.
This show is all based on a true story and it will make your blood boil and make you very angry at the injustice. This is still ongoing and you will not believe how long it has taken for the innocent postmasters and postmistresses to get this level of coverage. A must watch. If you are not in Britain, it will still be worth watching if you read up a little bit on the 'Horizon Post Office Scandal'. It really is just so wrong what has happened.
