I was born and raised in London, and came to Sydney in 1990. I love both cities - shame they are so far apart.
I have always loved reading and when I was a kid and the mobile library made its weekly stop nearby I read anything in the historical fiction genre I could get my hands on.

Technically you are correct of course. They are cousins. But to my mind Georgiana was using the term as a courtesy title, because Fitzwilliam is so much older and definitely avuncular to her - one of the two 'father' substitutes in her life.

Carrie’s Quotes

“Do they sense it, these dead writers, when their books are read? Does a pinprick of light appear in their darkness? Is their soul stirred by the feather touch of another mind reading theirs? I do hope so. ”
― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale
