I just love how it s all about reading novels. Who s a heroine, what s an adventure Austen poses these questions very directly
Cautions against the violence of such noblemen and baronets as delight in forcing young ladies away to some remote farmhouse, must, at such a moment, relieve the fulness of her heart. Who would not think so But Mrs. Morland knew so little of lords and baronets, that she entertained no notion of their general mischievousness, and was wholly unsuspicious of danger to her daughter from their machinations. Neither robbers nor tempests befriended them, nor one lucky overturn to introduce them to the hero.
