Hi,
While watching the drama ‘Persuasion’(BBC, 1995), I saw Anne Elliot says this: And that is all there is to it.
In the drama, she is presented with her family to some ladies in a higher rank(the Darrymples). Then she shares the experience with her cousin, Mr. Elliot, saying:
But I can discern no superiority of manner, accomplishment, or understanding in the Dalrymples. And that is all there is to it.
I don’t understand the meaning of ‘and that is all there is to it’. Besides, I cannot understand the structure either. ‘Is’, the verb appears twice in this sentence. Would you kind enough to explain it to me?
Thanks,
