- Edmund takes time to get over Mary.
- Sir Thomas also takes along time to get over his parenting failure.
- Julia's marriage actually turned out OK and Julia came home to apologize for eloping.
- Why did she elope? Well, after she heard what Maria had done she panicked at the thought of going home and being grounded for life by an overprotective and un-fun dad. So she accepted Yates's proposal instead and made a run for it.
- Sir Thomas became a more affectionate father in the future.

- Maria tried to come home but her dad wouldn't take her.
- So she ended up having to go live elsewhere with Mrs. Norris and the two drove each other crazy.

- The Grants moved away from Mansfield Park and Mary continues to live with Mrs. Grant. She took a long time to get over Edmund and to find someone else.
