The books are "The Semi-Attached Couple" and "The Semi-Detached House" by Emily Eden, who wrote a while after Jane Austen and is supposed to have a style somewhat like hers. The books are out of print so I'd really like to get an ebook version. I'm hoping maybe some very kind person would be interested in reading them and posting them here!

I'm about to upload
The Semi-Attached Couple. I'll do the other one tomorrow. They weren't on Project Gutenberg, but on the 'A Celebration of Women Writers' website.
There are several ways of joining up books that are in sections. I usually download the first section then open it in Word and copy and paste the rest into it, chapter by chapter. Then I edit it. This one needed some spelling corrections and I added curly quotes and emdashes.
