Acknowledge [themselves] grossly mistaken and mis-judging Written by Stephanie (2/17/2011 10:58 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Jane's grace and dignity., penned by Reeba

You bring up an interesting point: all our information about Jane Fairfax seems to come from others. True, this is not the Highbury gossip mill, deciding Frank Churchill will visit his stepmother upon her marriage to Mr. Weston, but reasonably intelligent people who have met Miss Fairfax, albeit not recently.

Do we believe them? Especially in a novel that has a tendency to misdirection and well-meant errors?
