Baseball spoken here
The highlight of the novel, for me, was the mention of baseball in the first chapter! I didn't know the game existed in England in Austen's time, let alone imagine one of her heroines playing it.

A delightful satire on gothic romance, full of of wit and love for the genre - for only a connoisseur would know its tropes, merits and flaws so well as to construct such a tale.

"Dear Miss Morland, consider the dreadful nature of the suspicions you have entertained. What have you been judging from? Remember the country and the age in which we live. Remember that we are English, that we are Christians. Consult your own understanding, your own sense of the probable, your own observation of what is passing around you. Does our education prepare us for such atrocities? Do our laws connive at them?
