Me, writing work emails after reading #JaneAusten:

“My dear Dr. Dashwood—
I trust that you and your graduate students remain in good health. Praise for your latest article is on everyone’s lips. I have not the smallest wish to vex you, but circumstances compel me to trouble you for a meeting. There is not a moment to be lost. I flatter myself that you will endeavour to fill out this Whenisgood poll before Michaelmas.
Until then I remain,
Your humble servant— S.” 🪶

@scottbarolo as a superfan of #JaneAusten who writes a lot of these emails, I could not love this more :) I think I should start writing them that way and see who gets it

@scottbarolo as it does in Austen, in the most entertaining ways!
