Louisa vs. Anne Written by Lia (10/10/2005 9:58 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Angry Pleasure and Pleased Contempt, penned by Barbara

It's not just LR who sees Anne as superior. In chapter 10 Mrs. Croft's tone of "calmer praise" leads Anne to "suspect that her keener powers might not consider [Louisa or Henrietta] as quite worthy of her brother," and in chapter 13 "Mrs. Croft always met [Anne] with a kindness which gave her the pleasure of fancying herself a favorite."

True, this is Anne's point of view and she might be biased, but I think Anne is correct, and Mrs Croft also sees Anne as superior to Louisa.
