The 19th c novel, in particular those by Jane Austen are such fun. She can always be counted on for a sardonic comment on the perversion manners or quirks of personality caused by a perversion of manners evoked by the desire for social standingstated with a lightness of touch that almost disguises their cynicism. I wish I could relive the days of first reading those wonderful pages.
