**wanted** to read but Lucy was unable to get them are very interesting and sort of tell us the mood Lydia is in;

Sort of her own story.

The Reward of Constancy - hoping for this while she's going through a period of disappointment

The Fatal Connexion - an ensign which might make her lose her fortune - oh, well not a fatal thing but who knows ??

The Mistakes of the Heart - perhaps the stupidity of writing a
letter in her own name to accuse him of cheating

The Delicate Distress - she's highly distressed

I love the part about the 'smelling salts'

Lyd. Very well—give me the sal volatile.

Lucy. Is it in a blue cover, ma’am? (LOL!! LOL!!)

Lyd. My smelling-bottle, you simpleton!

Lucy. Oh, the drops—here, ma’am.
