in consequence of the missive, No respect at all for Miss Bates?, penned by Robbin
I find it hard to feel that she is, except by the more serious older people like Mr Knightley, and Mrs Weston. She IS silly and rather tiresome, but I think that all of Highbury does pity her and like her for her good nature, for her devotion to her mother etc.
