I didn't mean to suggest Ashford has her as spiteful. Neither Emma
nor Catherine Morland are spiteful. They are all sexually sheltered
omen who don't understand their fantasie were they real would mean
Henry (in Miss Shar's case) and Jane Fairfax (Emm's) are immoral bad
people. Catherine's imaginings do have the general's tyranny as their
basis.
I liked Miss Sharpe in Ashford's boo; that's why I could read it.
She grieves over Jane's death and respects Cassandra

In case anyone else wants to refresh their memory of Miss Sharp.
According to this, it was mainly a friendship by correspondence for the
last decade of Jane's life. Miss Sharp doesn't sound like a spiteful
person at all.
