shouts out to all of my regency era girls

Unemployed and quarantining with my parents in the suburbs, I've been thinking a lot (well even more than usual) about the women living in country houses in those Jane Austen novels. They basically live in isolation - maybe they go to a country dance or have guests occasionally, but most of the time they're really just by themselves. They didn't do housework because they had servants. What did they do all day? From the novels we know they embroidered a lot, went for walks in the countryside, maybe played piano. I guess they spent a lot of time on their "correspondence." Did they not get bored? Maybe it never occurred to them to be bored, the pace of life was so slow then. The most exciting thing that could happen was a man of considerable fortune (5000 pound a year!) moving into the neighborhood. That was conversation fodder for months. Anyway I guess what I'm saying is that I'm Elizabeth Bennett now and if you email me I am absolutely thinking of it as my "correspondence"
