I agree... ;) Written by MandyN (4/3/2006 9:22 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Bath, and it's assemblies, by JA. :-D, penned by Reeba

As we know, JA had first-hand knowledge of Bath from visits to her Aunt and Uncle Leigh-Perrot.
She also lived in Bath for a number of years and attended assemblies with her mother and aunt and observed the goings on and competition for husbands.

I believe JA once likened the Bath assembly balls to a battle ground !
Your selection of quotes reminded me.

Oh, how Perilous for a heroine !!

Yet our modest, unassuuming Catherine still manages to have a pleasant evening.
