I’d rather be Mrs. Gardiner or Mrs. Croft than any of the other female characters.
Such stifling lives those other women must lead! Waiting in TERROR for an invitation they can’t afford to reciprocate (and can’t afford NOT to!).

Mrs. Croft’s life is pretty great! Though I would be afraid to travel the world before vaccines.

It must be awful to be under the proverbial gun like that! I feel for those people it must have been tough for them.

>except for Lady Bertram, she really does nothing
Gasp! Don’t you know that she conducted herself beyond reproach – and made many yards of fringe?
Jokes aside, very interesting, thanks.

Lol, sorry Lady Bertram! I forgot about the fringe. My bad.
