He was a silly character; more like a Dickens book.
Oh jolly! Little green balls! What are they called? I should grow them at home.

....and then Lady Susan ended up marrying him.

There were so many characters, it was sometimes hard to keep up,
not knowing the story.

It's very easy to bend him to her will

It was gross how she was with the guy who ends up with her daughter.

Agree, I feel like a lot of Austen books have many characters.

No she thought marrying the young heir would benefit her future.
The daughter fell in love with him.
She wanted her daughter to marry the silly pea man, until her friend advised her
that his money and security would be good for her own future.
So they swapped.

I had to laugh at Lady Susan's new husband talking about (his wife's boyfriend) that man being separated from his wife, and coming to live with them. He was great company!

I forgot but Indy answered

I guess Austen wouldn't go that far "that's not how your mom did it"

Never!
I was surprised at Lady Susan having a married man as a boyfriend, and then he moves in with the newlyweds, and she announces she is having a baby, right after the wedding.

I can't remember if any of that was in the book. I am almost certain the book is told in letters.
