The Dashwood women are soon reduced to the position of unwelcome guests in their own home. Mrs. Dashwood begins looking for somewhere else to live. Marianne, out for a walk, gets caught in the rain, slips and sprains her ankle. The dashing, handsome John Willoughby sees the accident and assists her.
