"Things are seldom what they seem, ... Written by CarolB (9/17/2006 12:54 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Edward the cipher, penned by Tina T

skim milk masquerades as cream ...." --W.S. Gilbert, "HMS Pinafore"

Sorry for the anachronism, but it colorfully states one of the themes of the novel. As for Edward, his reason for not declaring himself in love with Elinor, when all around him think he is, may have nothing to do with a young author's lack of skill and everything with how she intends to develop the plot.
