No, I don't think so Written by Line (10/2/2005 8:29 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Bringing in the carriage!, penned by Caroline

In ch.36 of "Emma", there is a similar line, also by the narrator, about "Tea was carrying round" (by one of those invisible servants!). I think this must have been acceptable usage in JA's day.
