" Their house was undoubtedly the best in Camden-place" (Austen, 112).Camden-place in Bath was a place of high society living. Only people of a certain class were accepted into Camden-place with open arms. This shows that although Anne's family was in debt, they had not become social outcasts. Austen is connecting her theme of high society back into the readers mind, since Anne's absence has disconnected her from her families customs and obligations.

is it merely high society? what could Austen be saying about the nature of high society if someone can be absent of it, yet lose no stature?
