She did what she could. She gets her to Bath, just after the break up with Fred but Anne dislikes Bath and problaby IIRC refuses to go there again. Lady R doesn't go much to London, she's an older lady and Bath is her "city for pleausre and society", albeit it was getting to be seen as a bit of a backwater by the time of hte novel. I think that she would like Anne to go to London, but the Elliots aren't keen to take her, and Lady R probalby cant' afford to spend a lot of time there herself and it would look odd if she were to insist on bringing Anne to London and showing her off in society when Sir W and Miss were not interested in haivng Anne in town. She DID hope for someone nice and interesting to join hte Kellynch circle who might help A get over her love for Fred, but it was a small and limited socity and that didn't happen.
