In honor of the day who do you think is a fool?
I think Henry qualifies as the most foolish so far … at least with the following definition of “to speak in jest “. Much of what he has said seems to be in this vein – his thoughts on journals, muslins, Bath all have a very teasing quality.
Do you agree? Or do you find another more foolish in the sense of “lacking in judgment or prudence?” Or “one with a marked propensity or fondness for something”? Is Catherine a Gothics fool? Mrs. Allen a fashion fool?
