„It’s only a phase,“ her mother had said, and Margaret was old enough to hold her tongue (but not her thoughts). She learnt over the years what to say and what not to (which alone had been a great relief to her family), yet she found herself more than often rather talking than thinking about far away places, foreign countries and strange customs.
Her sisters had thought that this passion would fade with time, that Margaret would find something else to put her interest in if they just gave her enough stories (including of course the most unpleasant the Colonel could think of), if Margaret were old enough to attend the dances, to have some suitors, more friends …
But the youngest Dashwood had enough time to cultivate her friendships and still dream of adventurous journeys to the end of the world. She wasn’t afraid of asking questions to anyone who was willing to answer (or not), and due to this curiousity many men were already withdrawing from the young girl. They had marveled at her beauty, but as soon as they’ve found her less dull
