From the TV Tropes breakdown of Persuasion:
Getting Crap Past The Radar: The description from Chapter 6 of the deceased Richard Musgrove:
"[Richard] had, in fact... been nothing better than a thick-headed, unfeeling, unprofitable Dick Musgrove, who had never done any thing to entitle himself to more than the abbreviation of his name, living or dead."
That's right, Jane Austen just called someone a dick.
Speaking of whom, the Austen Fiction Manuscript Project (via) is out to digitize all known holograph manuscripts of Jane Austen's fiction. More power to them!

Also, Egg McGuffin.
