But is she a typical person? Written by Adrian (3/1/2009 7:25 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Breathtakingly beautiful geniuses from dysfunctional families., penned by nan duval

A girl who plays baseball and cricket with her brothers would be rather idiosyncratic, at least in JA's time--a little bit scandalous. So not only is Catherine not a typical heroine; she is not a typical Georgian girl-next-door.

So Catherine was exceptional, just not in the heroine way, perhaps what Henry finds refreshing about her.
