Austen again

I keep going back to Austen. I was just reading parts of Emma actually and I think a vey interesting theme that I maybe missed just came up. Austen likes to have characters who meddle! With good intentions of course, but still Emma herself is a bigg meddler and matchmaker as is Mr. Darcy in a way. I woder how I can use this new bit? Something else I have been thinking about is language and the way Austen uses it. Its very charming but there are many instances when I sorta of lose the thread of what was being said. Too many long sentences is what im trying to say. I think that I could sort of use that to enhance the indie feel of the writing. Very long sentences which sometimes you cant even follow....isnt that sorta indie?
