Elinor: Edward made his promise a
long time ago, long before he met me. Though he may harbor some regrets, I
believe he will be happy in the knowledge that he did his duty and kept
his word. After all - after all that is bewitching in the idea of one's
happiness depending entirely on one person, it is not always possible. We
must accept. Edward will marry Lucy - and you and I will go home.
[Marianne rebukes Elinor]
Elinor: What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything
but your own suffering? For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on
me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was
forced upon me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hopes.
I have had to endure her exultation again and again whilst knowing myself
to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been
bound to silence I could have produced proof enough of a broken heart
even for you!
