To Cassandra, from Steventon, "-I expect a very stupid Ball, there will be nobody worth dancing with, & nobody worth talking to but Catherine; for I beleive Mrs Lefroy will not be there; Lucy is to go with Mrs. Russell. -People get so horridly poor & economical in this part of the World, that I have no patience with them.- Kent is the only place for happiness, Everybody is rich there; -I must do similar justice however to the Windsor neighbourhood." - Jane Austen, Wednesday 19 December 1798
Catherine was probably Catherine Bigg. Jane mentioned visiting Catherine and her sisters at Manydown just a few sentences ago.
I hope you enjoy your day today!
