Did you notice how Alexander apologizing for the garden party was mirrored in the last episode. His first attempt goes rather poorly and leaves them both more upset than before. His second attempt he is more plain but still cryptic. In the first instance, Charlotte easily forgives him, though she still doesn’t understand. In the second, she cuts him off and pushes him away. In S3 I hope we see Colbourne develop the ability to speak more plainly and apologize simply.

Random Sanditon Thought: The Spinet

I have lots of questions about why the spinet is locked and what it might mean to hear it for Colbourne. But my bigger question is where did Leonora learn to play? When Charlotte is giving dancing lessons we see her playing quite well for an 8-year-old. Somebody taught her. But who? My headcanon is that Augusta has been teaching her whenever Mr. Colbourne is out of the house.
