Day 10
Day 10. Most frustrating family member.
Another tough question, since so many of Austen's supporting characters would be unbearable to live with! Mary Musgrove from Persuasion would have to be high on my list, though. She is so incredibly selfish that she works her poor sister Anne to the bone, yet she spends all her time whining, complaining, and feeling ill-used. She is also vain, snobbish, and totally oblivious to what's going on around her (like how awkward Anne and Captain Wentworth act around each other!). I really don't see how Anne could stand to bear with her for as long as she did!
