Lady Middleton... Written by MarianneR (9/18/2009 3:49 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, That Mrs. D..., penned by JoAnn

You said she is useless, which so far I can only agree with. But given that every character in Austen´s novels has a particular purpose - what we were also reminded of in that GR - I wonder, what prupose will be her´s while we are reading on... It´s such a joy to discover all these tidbits!
