In the 4th letter, my favorite Jane-ism is when she is "very sorry to say that my new coloured gown is very much washed out" (faded I guess?) even though she gave explicit directions on how it should be cared for. She immediately follows the telling with the wish that Cassandra's dress is (washed out) too. Just like me and my sisters!
