In this short scene, we learn that Willoungby's aunt, Mrs. Smith, lives in Allenham, a small town in southeast England, and that her son, Edward, is engaged to a woman named Eliza Williams, who is married to Colonel Brandon's brother, Mr. Smith. We learn that the two of them met at a party at which Edward was dancing all night, and the next morning, he was back in the saddle. We also learn that Eliza and Edward are engaged, but that they have not yet announced their engagement to one another.
