'That age of feeling and reason' = 10? Written by Tom P2 (10/13/2010 7:58 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, And the innate goodness of the Price children among it., penned by jeffrey

It looks like JA's boy characters suddenly become tolerable at age 10. :-)

Here, we have Tom and Charles Price (9 and 8) being disagreeable, while Sam Price (older than 9, younger than 14) turns out OK once Fanny gets to know him a bit better.

To narrow it down further, there's Charles Blake (10) from The Watsons, who's a proper little gentleman, give or take his inadvertent put-down of Miss Osborne.
