(Thanks to my friend Jo for informing me that Hawkins was the first man to dance in Graham’s company this same year. They were married ten years later. Looks to me like things were already heating up there at the End of the World…)

"You are the paragon of all that is Silly & Sensible, common-place & eccentric, Sad & Lively, Provoking & Interesting. Who can keep pace with the fluctuations of your Fancy, the Capprizios of your Taste, the Contradictions of your Feelings? You are so odd! & all the time, so perfectly natural - so peculiar in yourself, & yet so like everybody else!" -jane austen
