Well, Anne was LR's favourite... Written by Line (10/19/2008 12:33 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Why Mary yes, and Anne no?, penned by Anna Ruby

...and god-child. I think LR would have been more aware of what was going on in Anne's life than in Mary's. I picture LR noticing Charles Musgrove's interest and encouraging Anne to say yes if he *should* propose, while she may have been less aware of Charles' interest in Mary.

Yes, IMO that *is* what Henrietta thinks - LR considered Charles good enough for non-bookish Mary, but not for her darling Anne!
