As I said to dd_b in a later reply, I don't think that those who aren't emotionally expressive have hearts of stone. That's not at all what I'm saying or believing. I went on to take some examples from Sense and Sensibility that are worth thinking about.
It's good that you help me test and refine my thinking, and while having one's (initial) thinking on a topic scrupulously examined and poked and prodded and tested by friends can be challenging, I don't doubt that it will help me in the end to "see with a keen eye," so it's all to the good. I've certainly been doing some good cogitating on this subject the last couple of days, and it has spun out to touch quite a number of other topics. Thanks.
