Status Updates From Frederica

Frederica two younger brothers are wonderful but her sister and her older brother drive me to murder. It would be better if they were bad, evil people, instead they are overall kind and love their family but are shallow, selfcentered, stupid and ungrateful and think themself poor victims.

‘How long is it since you saw Diana?’
‘I should think it must be a very long time, for I can’t recall anyone of that name’
 ‘She is Chloë’s sister, of course! How can you have forgotten that?’
‘Oh, easily!’
Her eyes danced ‘You know, sir, you are an abominable person!’
‘Yes, indeed I do! You have frequently told me so, and I have complete faith in your judgment.’

His lordship, in fact, previously ruthless on his own behalf, was now prepared to sacrifice the entire human race to spare his Frederica one moment’s pain

The fact that he’d do anything for her and doesn’t give a f about anyone else’s feelings (except like 3 other people’s) makes him very efficient

I really like Frederica but Alverstoke (the mmc) is the character who shines the most and has a more prominent role, such a great character.

Buxted and Jessamy went off together; but it was not many minutes before Jessamy returned. Alverstoke, who had alighted from the phaeton, and was standing talking to Frederica, turned his head. ‘Murdered him?’ he enquired

🤣 fair, Buxted is insufferable
