Bearing grudges

It is quite ridiculous for me to be so resentful about something that happened almost two hundred years ago. But although I know that Jane Austen loved her sister Cassandra probably more than anyone else in her life, I still nurse a furious resentment towards Cassandra for burning many of Jane's letters after her death (by some estimates Jane wrote over 3,000 letters over the course of her life, but only 160 or so remain). And the ones she kept, she censored. Even if it was what Jane wanted her to do.
