Very helpful. I’ve never analyzed writing in this way. Thank you. Passage 1 is burdened with 9 name citations. Austen’s cites only 2, the primary characters present. Austen also suppresses the sound of D’Arcy’s response This intensifies the effect Elizabeth’s words have made on him.

You're exactly right, Ian. Excessive name use always creates a barrier to immersion! It's a very common oversight that you'd expect to see rectified in editing.

A serial was being shown on Zee Tv in India which was very well done, showing the entire life of Buddha. It was very interesting. We watched the full serial
