Lives very close? Written by Ellen M (3/26/2009 10:25 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Very much inclined to agree, penned by Tarn

It takes 2 3/4 hours to drive by carriage to Woodston from Northanger. (Ch. 26) What's the average speed of a carriage? What's the actual distance and would it be considered close in JA's time?
