    Anne Elliot is a Snack

    Send us Fan Mail  Persuasion Chapters 9-12  Anne is finding that having to spend a lot of time around her former lover, Captain Wentworth really isn't that bad. He is always hanging around the Musgrove family and flirting with Louisa and Henrietta. He is always nice and cordial to Anne. He fails to catch Louisa, who falls and breaks her head. It's probably fine.  Also, Anne catches the eye of a handsome gentleman. This week Elle and Catrina discuss Captain Wentworth's interactions with Anne and his dangerous flirting with the Musgrove sisters. Elle compares them to the Bertram sisters, who also found themselves fighting over a man. Catrina, however, talks about how ironic it is that Wentworth only starts to see Anne as the snack she is once another man sets his eye on her.  Who is this mysterious man? Will the Musgrove sisters fall into the same trap as the Bertram sisters? Does Louisa survive her injury? Wit Beyond Measure is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.
