 Situations first foreshadowed there were eventually reworked with more skill in novels that Austen had already begun, such as "Pride and Prejudice", or would write later, so that "it would be redundant to use them again in a completed version" of "The Watsons".Dissatisfaction that the fragment’s promising beginning was not brought to fulfilment eventually resulted in attempts to finish the novel.Some of the earliest of these were authored by descendants of the Austen family itself.
