We begin with a reading of chapter 37 - the analysis starts at 18 minutes and 26 seconds (skip here to miss the reading).
William returns then leaves for Portsmouth, taking Fanny with him, which is all part of Sir Thomas's devious plan to make Fanny want to marry Mr Crawford.
We briefly suggest, based on the use of the word "masking", that Fanny may be on the autism spectrum - we plead ignorance of anything other than a very surface knowledge of autism and apologise if our speculations cause any offense.
