"Now you see," burst out Elizabeth afresh, "you see, Emma, what Jane thinks of Tom Musgrove—you must change your mind."
"No, indeed; her liking him can make no difference to me," replied Emma, quietly.
"Oh, Emma! I did not think you so conceited, to think of your setting up your opinion against Jane's, a married woman, and so much older and more experienced; I could not have expected it."
"I do not set up my opinion against her, I only differ in taste,"

It's not just the current generation that has that "Agree with Me on Everything or You are My Enemy" mentality. It's endemic to human nature.
This is a full length novel written by Catherine Hubback, Jane Austen's niece. It is based on the five chapters of The Watsons that Austen wrote and never completed. I am enjoying it immensely so far.
