Jane Austen: Blood Persuasion (2011)
“Austen rose from her bed.
Jane, after a most satisfying few hours at her writing desk, emerged refreshed and cheerful to find what the rest of the family were doing. Mrs. Austen, having decided that the garden would be too wet for her to do any work outside that day, sat in the parlor, busy at her needlework. Martha, it turned out, had gone to call on Mrs. Chapple.
“Who is Mrs. Chapple?” Jane asked.
“The housekeeper at the Great House. Doubtless Martha has gone to exchange recipes.”...
“Oh, that’s right, Mrs. Kettering’s housekeeper. Hmm,” Jane said. Martha was a grown woman; her activities should be of no concern to Jane, to whom it was perfectly obvious that recipes were not what drew her to the Great House. “I shall go to meet her there. And what are you and Anna up to, this fine day?”
“We shall visit Miss Benn.”
