When Henry Dashwood dies, his wife and three daughters—Elinor, Marianne and Margaret—are left with an inheritance of only £500 a year.

She frets about the budding friendship between Edward and Elinor, believing he can do better, and does everything she can to prevent it from developing into a romantic attachment.

Marianne meets the older Colonel Brandon, who falls in love with her at first sight.
