Sense And Sensibility And Sea Monsters - Plot & Excerpts
Marianne took the occasion to communicate a piece of news to her sister, which surprised Elinor by its extravagant testimony of her sister’s imprudence and want of thought. Marianne told her with the greatest delight, that Willoughby had given her a domesticated sea horse—one that he himself had bred all man-hating instincts from, in his own aquatic experimentation tank in Somersetshire, among the few such tanks to be found outside Sub-Marine Station Beta—and which sea horse, with its iridescent multi-hued scaling, was exactly calculated to please a woman’s sensibilities. Marianne had accepted the present without hesitation—without considering that it was not her mother’s plan to keep any sea horse, and that its maintenance would require an appropriate aquarium, specially-designed exercise equipment, and a well-trained servant to tend it. “He intends to dispatch his ship’s boy into Somersetshire immediately for it,” she added, “and when it arrives we will gaze at it and feed it algae every day.
