Very clever of J.A. to mention that... Written by Anne-Marie (4/4/2008 7:27 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The novels that Harriet likes, penned by Graciela

That's one of the wonderful things about Austen's writing. Everything is there for a purpose, even the most seemingly trivial detail. The readers of Austen's time would probably have known about those books and gotten the joke.
