It struck me that in letter number 27 Jane shows her cla...errr... wit in full glory :D
" ..same broad face, diamond bandeau, white shoes, pink husband, & fat neck."
"I looked at his daughter and thought her a queer animal with white neck."
"She has got rid of some part of her child, & danced away with great activity, , looking by no means very large."
"Her husband is ugly enough; uglier even than his cousin John; but he does not look so very old."
"The Miss Maitlands are both very prettyish; very like Anne, with brown skins, large dark eyes. & a good deal of nose."
"Miss Debary, Susan and Sally [...] made their appearance, & I was as civil to them as their bad breath would allow me."
"Miss Emma Wabshaw...is handsome, accomplished, amiable, & everything but rich." Darn!! just when I was settling down to reading about a real Emma
All this is followed by ;)
"Mary said that I looked very well last night." Hmmmm.
Well all this was meant only for Cassandra to read so I don't accuse JA of anything.
Actually I am the one who is reading it so gleefully that I deserve to stand in a corner.
