More Persuasion Written by Maisy (8/29/2005 9:16 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Persuasion, penned by Cheryl

I agree with Cheryl on this, that Jane wouldn't have dwelt on these events so, for 20 years. But I also I think it possible that at least in some small way, Jane drew on her own experience with Lefroy, in fleshing out the story of Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth.
