Funniest Quote: “Which is, perhaps, more in favour of his liking Julia best, than you, Fanny, may be aware; for I believe it often happens that a man, before he has quite made up his own mind, will distinguish the sister or intimate friend of the woman he is really thinking of more than the woman herself."

Questions moving forward: Who is the mystery man? Is Sir Thomas coming back?

Who wins the chapters? Fanny!
