Provisional Notes @conformity_norms_female_behaviour (unmarried) %%born Hampshire Writer and embroiderer, cf. 1808, June-July; 1809 May-July; September-October 1813: Jane Austen's visits to Godmersham as remembered by Marianne Knight (born 1801, sixth daughter of Edward, Jane's brother: "I remember that when Aunt Jane came to us at Godmersham she used to bring the MS of whatever novel she was writing with her . . . read them aloud . . . I also remember how Aunt Jane would sit quietly working beside the fire in the library, saying nothing for a good while, and then would suddenly burst out laughing ... write something down, & then go back to the fire & go on working as before".
