Humor in this novel is partly provided by the abrasive nature of Thomas Palmer, whose house at Cleveland serves as a place of recovery for one central character's bout with pneumonia. The love interest of another central character has a brother named Robert who we first meet at Gray's giving a lecture on toothpick-cases. A central plot point is revealed when we learn of the engagement of Sophia Grey, who stands to inherit 50,000 pounds. This is explained during the central characters' time at Portman Square in London, courtesy of the matchmaker Mrs. Jennings, but the main characters spend most of their time in a cottage at Barton Park, courtesy of their mother Fanny;s cousin Sir John Middleton. For ten points, what is this novel in which Colonel Branden and Edward Ferrars end up with Marianne and Elinor Dashwood, respectively, authored by Jane Austen?
