] My questions refer to S&S and Eliza's divorce with Col. Brandon's elder brother. It led me to be curious as to the mechanics/consequences of divorce in JA's time. Could you re-instate my questions?

As you can see, your post about the divorce in S&S is still on the board. The deleted posts had to do with marital sleeping arangements, etc. and, as I said, had no Jane Austen connection, and so will not be reinstated. We are most attentive to keeping posts on topic, you may wish to peruse the Guideline at the top of the L&T Board.

If you'd like to continue this discussion, let's head on over to the Help Board, which is where we discuss site policy, or you may feel free to email me. (We usually email someone when a post is deleted, but as you have not included an email address, I could not do so.)
