`She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.` Anne Elliot seems to have given up on present happiness and has resigned herself to living off her memories.

Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear...
