I forgot how fun Austen is to read, but also how scathing it can be. Anne's meant to be this gentle, level headed character, but the narrator's cutting remarks very much clash with that - unless that's meant to be Anne's real feelings? Who knows, there's probably a SparksNotes out there to answer that question
