Well... Written by Rae (10/20/2008 1:24 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, But she actually has children..., penned by MarianneR

A bit later in that same letter, she is angling for an invite to Bath, and says:

I do not expect my children to be asked, you know. I can leave them at the Great House very well, for a month or six weeks. :-)

The first time I listned to a recording of Persuasion, that letter made me laugh out loud.
