  You will be creating a Jane Austen-ish character with a clear motivation. Over the course of a week's long society party in Regency England, you must complete your goal: Is it to marry for love? Money? To marry off your useless, layabout son? To get laid? To be the talk of the town? To insult everybody and have a great time?
  
  Much of the story will revolve around Eligibles, those young bachelors and bachelorettes that set Society all a-twitter. But there is a role in every story for the sneaky servants, overbearing Grand Dames and nefarious rakes as well. Come have fun in Regency England!

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Busybody: "Facts or opinions which are to pass through the hands of so many, to be misconceived by folly in one, and ignorance in another, can hardly have much truth left."
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Grand Dame: "A mother would have been always present. A mother would have been a constant friend; her influence would have been beyond all other."
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Patriarch: "It's been many years since I had such an exemplary vegetable."
  
  This has no relation to the patriarch, but I couldn't find a good Jane Austen quote about stuffy old fathers. So you get the vegetable quote.

  Yes, these quotes are out of context. Austen Police. Deal with it.

conversations.value: On Holiday by the Sea: "Nobody could catch cold by the sea; nobody wanted appetite by the sea; nobody wanted spirits; nobody wanted strength. Sea air was healing, softening, relaxing — fortifying and bracing — seemingly just as was wanted — sometimes one, sometimes the other. If the sea breeze failed, the seabath was the certain corrective; and where bathing disagreed, the sea air alone was evidently designed by nature for the cure.” 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: In London: Many a Regency heroine has gone to London to have a “season” in the hope of finding a husband.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: In Bath: The first view of Bath in fine weather does not answer my expectations; I think I see more distinctly through rain. The sun was got behind everything, and the appearance of the place from the top of Kingsdown was all vapour, shadow, smoke, and confusion.”
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: At a small cottage or parsonage: “a view of Barton Valley as they entered it gave them cheerfulness. It was a pleasant fertile spot, well wooded and rich in pasture.”

  You must.

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: A regiment is stationed nearby.: ... and the young ladies are all a-twitter!
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Tarnished Reputation: "We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man."
  
  This could be due to your reclusive nature, dubious behavior on the part of your parents, or a social gaffe made at the height of last season.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Alafair Nolan: A man just entering middle age in a somber, dark suit.
  Although he still has a lean build, he has lost his good looks to his age and years of hunching over a desk, so his eyes are permanently squinty. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Alexander Rogers: A fashionably dressed, charismatic and well-mannered young man. 
  He has delicate, feminine features and blindingly white teeth. The effect of this is lessened because his face is pock-marked with pimple scars.
  
  
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Bartholomew Roberts: A stunningly handsome strong-jawed, dark haired man with a gentle, easy demeanor. He often looks into the distance with a dreamy look on his face, and then snaps back into conversation with an apologetic air. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: James Levingston: James Levingston is wearing simple parson's robes, but his tall, muscular form looks odd hulking under them. He almost compulsively pulls out theological or philosophical tomes when he is bored and delicately paws through them with hands the size of anachronistic baseball gloves, frowning and muttering to himself. He is exceedingly handsome, with sharp cheekbones and blazing eyes that seem to stare right through anyone in their path.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Barlow Symondes: This menacing young man quietly looms in corners and quietly stares off into space. His effect is made all the worse by a dark mask covering the lower right three quarters of his face. If anyone dares to engage him in conversation, he mumbles drifts away. Occasionally, he pulls out a mysterious book and thumbs through it.
  
  Graphic design is my Passion.
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Get Introduced: Mr. Levingston did not introduce you, and it's unspeakably rude for a young lady or gentleman to introduce themselves or begin conversation without a formal introduction. This is a social nightmare! Finagle your way into an introduction.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Terrible Family: "Do not make yourself uneasy, my love. Wherever you and Jane are known you must be respected and valued; and you will not appear to less advantage for having a couple of—or I may say, three—very silly sisters." 
  
  Your family is ridiculous and everyone knows it. It makes you look bad even though you may be the sane one. 
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Tempramental: You are easily angered or annoyed.
