[quote=Anonymous]In Jane Austen's novels there is a sense of urgency regarding making a romantic match for most of her heroines. Even among the wealthy circles she wrote about, the women were considered "expired" very early in life. Anne Elliot, for example, is only 35/26 and is declared a spinster and without hope of marriage prospects. 25!! Even during the regency period I can't imagine a 25 year old displaying very many unsightly signs of aging. What are your thoughts? [/quote]
