Thanks for commenting on my story, sorry about the layout I changed it. It was one I had made for the first time and it didn't really work out so well.

For me personally it would, because money makes me uncomfortable. Also, I think poor people lived longer than the rich (because they exercised through labour and they couldn't afford to eat meat), and some other things, like they couldn't afford medical attention. That's a bad thing these days, but back then a lot of treatments didn't work and just made the suffering worse.
Is Emma as good as Pride & Prejudice so far? When I heard of it, I thought it was the book which a 1950s film was based on, about a deaf girl called Emma. I'm simple minded, I think. Oh, and I didn't actually visit the Jane Austen Museum - sorry if I made it sound like that - but I was on holiday in Bath with the English side of my family and wanted to go, but didn't as they were too interested in the Roman baths and what have you. The tour guide told me a lot about her, though, and I got to see a couple of houses she lived in. Apparently she really hated the city and was always writing letters expressing her hatred. And I met the Mr Darcy impersonator as we were walking to get some food - more torture for me.
I did know that, actually, and I think it fits it well, with Elizabeth's first impressions of Darcy and Wickham and how wrong they were. But Pride & Prejudice goes better with Sense & Sensibility. She should've given all of her books similar charming titles.
