Anne Elliot reflects on her past decision - eight years prior - to break off her engagement to the then-poor Captain Wentworth, under Lady Russell’s persuasion.

In the ensuing chaos, Anne remains calm and takes charge, demonstrating her strength and composure. Louisa is taken to the home of Captain Harville, a naval friend of Wentworth’s.
