But she uses the word "picturesque" Written by CarolTS (4/12/2010 2:41 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, proceeding from a rapidity of thought, penned by Stephanie

But Elizabeth, who had not the least inclination to remain with them, laughingly answered, --

"No, no; stay where you are. You are charmingly grouped, and appear to uncommon advantage. The picturesque would be spoilt by admitting a fourth. Good-bye." Ch. 10

To me this would indicate she was talking art and not music.
