You're very welcome. I daresay Jane would be VERY proud.

I hope you're watching "Miss Austen" btw. Excellent series!

Finally, have I told you about these purses I discovered? You need one, at least! https://wellreadcompany.com/collections/bags

(I have S&S, P&P, Sherlock Holmes, & Great Gatsby and get MANY compliments when I 'wear' one!)

Yup! I have the larger purse on that one. Smaller ones are the perfect size for carrying phone, lipstick, cash/credit card.

The crowns are more complex and sophisticated, but the jewels still gorgeous

Terminological note: "Fuckability" - obviously not in Austin. But on the rare occasions she refers to someone's "person" i.e body, roughly, she means that.

I cannot recall whether one of her heroines is ever described as dwelling in that way; probably not.
