What's really going on
The scene is generosity doing the work of heartbreak. Brandon acts from pure kindness — he has no reason to help the man who has everything he wants — and Elinor must carry the offer to the man she loves, knowing it makes his marriage to Lucy possible. Edward's reaction shows how little he expected such friendship: 'God knows what you must think of me. I have no right to speak, I know.' Elinor's answer is the most self-denying line in the film: he owes his fortune to his own merit, and she had no hand in it. She then tells him to honour his promise, which is both advice and a farewell, and wishes him and Lucy happy.
