To Cassandra, from Rowling, "I do not believe that any of the party were aware of the valuables they had left behind; nor can I hear anything of Anna's gloves. Indeed I have not enquired at all about them hitherto." - Jane Austen, Thursday 1 September 1796
Anna was probably James' daughter, Jane Anna-Elizabeth, born in 1793. Her mother, Anne Mathew Austen, had passed away 3 May 1795. She spent quite a bit of time at Steventon Rectory after her mother's death.
I am glad to know that, even back then, people still lost things. I have an ongoing list of things I am looking for! I have discovered the surest way to find things is to purchase it again.
Mark Twain said, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."
I hope you enjoy your day today!
I am very affectionately yours,
Terrie
"Life is Short... Break the Rules, Forgive Quickly, Kiss Slowly, Love Truly, Laugh Uncontrollably, And Never Regret Anything that Made You Smile! Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
