Role Model for Physical Activity   Written by Pennie (9/30/2005 7:32 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Actually, the Musgroves sound very modern to me!, penned by Annette J.
Are you new?

CM may not be well read, but he leads a physically active lifestyle. Many obese 21st century children need that kind of role model! JA takes it for granted that all her characters will be physically active - at the very least they walk everywhere, far more than modern readers do.

Out of all the many characters in all her novels, Mrs Musgrove is the only one who is overweight, so perhaps all of the men doing so much sport is a good thing
