When any two young people take into their heads to marry, they are pretty sure by perseverance to carry their point, be ever so poor, or ever so imprudent, or ever so little likely to be necessary to each other's ultimate comfort. This may be a bad morality to conclude with, but I believe it to be truth.
Jane Austen Persuasion (Norton Ch. XXIV pp. 175)
I find that this quote describes the last chapter in a nutshell. Unlike the original 24th chapter, this version is pure summary of what happened next. We get the narrator’s opinion of the situation, and the lack of dialogue reminds me of Anne’s character. We are told what she feels and thinks, just like the narrator tells what she (I am assuming is it “she”) perceives in the end. In that sense, I agree with the decision to keep this version rather than the original one.
