Persuasion has always been my favorite. I suspect that the lack of description of general things may be because of an assumed familiarity with assemblies and mode of dress and means of travel. Lyme would get described because it wasn't familiar. Just a theory.
If I remember aright, I think there is more telling than showing. These, after all, were people who were accustomed to cozying up with a good book of sermons!
