Here's hoping the home'puter is raring to go when you get there! What excellent points you make. There is another aspect of Mrs. Norris that is skewered by JA very accurately--namely her lack of genuine refinement appropriate to her class. In this regard she rather resembles Mrs. Bennet or Mrs. Phillips raised to a slighly higher sphere. She is always working overtime to depress and dominate and lower Fanny's self-esteem--I suppose because she herself had to accept a lower rank in life than her younger sister. To have Sir Thomas rate her down so fast on the issue of Fanny's carriage to the dinner party and blindness to the immorality of the private theatricals gives me much glee!
