I love how much we can infer about the dancing and the etiquette surrounding it by the casual passages, it's evident how obvious it all seemed to Austen so of course she wouldn't describe in details, but just with how people acted and when the important decisions and conversations took place you can already learn a lot! It's also a testament to the quality of the writing, because even though she uses these situations to weave in character development and plot, and to trap people in situations where it wouldn't be socially acceptable to do things differently even if they want to, the story and characters are strong enough to be fleshed out without it. She's confident in the reader's knowledge of these dances to understand everything she's saying and implying, but even though we don't have the full context we can still connect with the characters and enjoy the story, and getting the full meaning by studying the dance rules is just an added bonus
I came to check if you’ve uploaded recently and I can’t believe I let this video slip me by! I love your videos, they’re super informative and also very fun
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoy my videos so much. It seems that RUclips really isn't kind to me in the algorithm, so if you want to stay up to date, the best thing you can do is subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell, so RUclips will tell you when a new video is posted.
Love your info but I also love your dresses, my fave is the pink one from your video a year ago, did you make it? If you did, which patter did you use??
Thank you! The pink one was made by a friend of mine who died of cancer just before the pandemic. I have no idea what pattern she used, unfortunately, and needles to say, I can't exactly ask her now.
Is part 1 if this series still available somewhere? I can't seem to find it. - I take this back! I found it. It’s title just wasn’t what I was looking for. :D
I know this isn't the point of the video, but I haven't seen ages written like "five and thirty" anywhere else. Is it a period thing? Or a Jane Austen thing? Was it used only for ages or for any numbers? Was it German influence? (In German all the ones come before tens, so you end up with "two and forty" for 42.) Is it still used in modern English?
In "The Watsons", did Emma invite Charles herself? Was it okay because he was a child? Or was it actually allowed by the etiquette for women to ask men to dance?

I love all of your videos. The analysis is so informative, and I must say, your humor is en pointe as well!
I'm glad you like my silly jokes. I say them because I think they're cute, but it's difficult to gauge whether or not they land for other people.
@@teawithcassiane8431 never change!!
I'm always happy when I see your updates

Great information! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Keep it coming, please :)
Brilliant info as always. Also, must read the Watsons.
Dancing all night! Exhausting!
