I think Austen threw in a few references to the Prince Written by Nina RG (3/18/2011 7:33 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Dedication of "Emma", penned by Jane Marie

on purpose (because Austen is so brilliant that references and double-meanings are not there by accident). I am basing this on the article below by Colleen A. Sheehan taken from JASNA. I can't remember if anyone has linked to it before in this GR, but I highly recommend it!
