"I leave it to my reader's sagacity to determine how much of all this it was possible for Henry to communicate at this time to Catherine, how much of it he could have learnt from his father, in what points his own conjectures might assist him, and what portion must yet remain to be told in a letter from James"(Austen, 230).
I felt this quote was interesting for the time when Austen decides to leave it up to the reader to decide all the details. I felt the ending was quite rushed for all the buildup there seemed to be for Henry to find out how rude Catherine's eviction from their home was. It felt like a cliché ending to a very interesting book and seemed to be Austen simply tying up loose ends. It felt like Austen was saying look how happy everyone is and they are all in love and getting married. There's nothing wrong with that, I just felt the reader deserved a little more than that.
