Oh, the Austen sass is strong in Chapter 6. 😂

I can‘t decide which I like better: the bit about Mrs. Dashwood‘s renovation plans and her inexperience with saving money or this paragraph about how fortunate it was Lady Middleton brought her kid.

The ladies are settled at Barton and have met the neighbors. Let the socializing commence!

"Of course there were those, in the following days, who drew that customary analogy between the notoriously sinful ways of the people of San Francisco, most especially those denizens of the Barbary Coast, and those of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, which people always draw." (Referring to the San Francisco earthquake.) #themorethingschange
