Exactly right,Daphne   Written by JulieW (1/24/2004 5:27 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, I think so, penned by Daphne
Are you new?

The eldest sister in the family ,in this case Jane, had the right to be called Miss Bennet.

The other girls were Miss Elizabeth etc, and Captain Denny is being punctilious when he remebers them in age order.

However, when the older sister is not persent, the distinction ws not preserved.Lest see if we can spot if this happens later in the novel ;-)
