Sense and Sensibility #6

Colonel Brandon took leave at one of the parties saying that he needed to be in town immediately. That is not what bothered me, Mrs. Jennings and the other women CONSTANTLY talk about his leave. I found it irritating how Mrs. Jennings would not let the subject go, considering that Brandon did not want to let the party know the reason he was leaving. There is a half page filled of dialogue from Mrs. Jennings questioning the "real reason". I feel as if it is none of her business.
