Is Miss Steele's first name Anne, or Nancy? Written by Cathy Allen (10/22/2009 10:30 p.m.)

In Chapter 21, when the Dashwood sisters meet the Steele sisters, Miss Steele is called Anne. IIRC, all other times she is called either Miss Steele, or Nancy. Is this explained, and I missed it? Does one of our JA scholars know the answer? It's quite a curious thing, I think.

Thank you in advance!

Both. :-) Nancy can be a nickname for Anne. nfm Tom P2 (10/22/2009 11:43 p.m.)
