Have you been reading The Toast? If not, you really must. It's my favorite blog these days. It's a deadly combination of hilarious and brilliant. It's hard to explain, but basically, it's a (very) humorous blog about literature, "high culture," and feminism. Just trust me. Ever wondered if you are in a Jane Austen novel? Here are some clues from The Toast, and you can see the rest here.
A woman who hates you is playing the pianoforte.
A picnic has gone horribly wrong.
You once took a walk with a cad.
You say something arch yet generous about another woman both younger and richer than you.
You develop a resentment at a public dance.
Someone you know has fallen ill. Not melodramatically ill, just interestingly so.
A charming man attempts to flirt with you. This is terrible.
You are in a garden, and you are astonished.
