Finished Jane Austens Sense & Sensibilities last night. Representative sentence from Sense & Sensibilities: “But by an appeal to her affection for her mother, by representing the inconveniences which that indulgent mother must draw on herself, if (as would probably be the case) she consented to this increase of establishment, Marianne was shortly subdued; and she promised not to tempt her mother to such imprudent kindness by mentioning the offer, and to tell Willoughby when she saw him next, that it must be declined.” Jane is a fan of a crazy, inverted, 40+ word sentence and never sends a period to a semi-colons job in S&S. I just have Emma and Northanger Abbey left on my tour of the Austen Big 5. (P&P, S&S, Mansfield Park, Emma and Northanger Abbey).
