The first in a painting class to demonstrate her rebelliousness, and the other in a scene with Sidney to show her contrition for bad behavior.

The opportunity is there for a real love story, but not until she grows up a little and he commits to being honorable and seriously understanding his responsibility to protecting her and her money.

In Janes stories all the heroines get a good ending. sat on his steed in regret as he watched his Marianne marry Colonel Brandon. She and Charlotte chatter like close girlfriends are wont to do, giggling and exchanging highly personal information. Even if Sidney had said, I must do this for us the ultimate sacrifice, at least it would have shown that the family was aware and cared about what it would mean for him.

Although a happy ending is not necessary, there are several loose ends. I would love to see a second series, there is a lot to work with here from a writers perspective. Then Charlotte drops a bombshell Sidney is a wonderful man. Lady Susan certainly couldve ridden to the rescue, or perhaps Tom couldve groveled enough to make Lady Denham forgive him. A chance accident brings Charlotte Heywood to Sanditon, a seaside resort on the cusp of dramatic change.

Across the ball room, Charlotte and Sidney exchange glances of frustration, but she cant refuse Stringer, for she was not engaged to dance with another gentleman. I mean, Darcy can jump into a pond if he wants to, but generally speaking the physicality of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice made a great deal of sense; this, from handjobs in the woods to rutting on the drawing room floor, is utterly ludicrous.

Maybe she will meet a man more worthy than Sidney and less penitent than James in Willingdon. Her work still shines to this day and it is her characters that began their development in those first 11 chapters that defined what Sanditon is.
