To Cassandra, from Steventon, "We are very glad to hear such a good account of your Patients, little & great." - Jane Austen, Saturday 27-Sunday 28 October 1798
Cassandra's patients would have been Elizabeth, Edward's wife and their newest baby, William, who was born on the 10th of October 1798. William was the Reverend George Austen's father's name. So little William would have been named after his great-grandfather, and of course, Frank's name was Francis William Austen.
I re-watched Sense and Sensibility yesterday and enjoyed just as much as the first time, second time, third..., on and on.
I know it is quirky, but I am looking forward to seeing Dark Shadows this weekend. I admit I used to watch it when I was in the sixth grade. Recently I discovered it on Netflix and started watching it again. Funny how things change; it's not quite like I remembered it; but, I have seen trailers for the new movie with Johnny Depp and it looks amusing, and, if nothing else, there is always Johnny Depp, right?
I hope you enjoy your day today!
Terrie
