What's really going on
The scene is a comedy of manners with a small sting in it. The Dashwood sisters are new to Barton Park, and the Middletons make a sport of their private lives. Mrs. Jennings means no real harm, but she tells Marianne plainly that 'we none of us have any secrets here,' and the table treats her heart like an open puzzle to be solved. The guessing game with the letter F keeps the tone light, but it also shows how little privacy a young woman without fortune can expect. Marianne answers with wit — comparing her questioner to a pointer dog — while the quiet sister in the room is left to watch. What looks like friendly teasing is also the neighborhood measuring the sisters' eligibility.
