Quote #7
Who wanted to reassure her? Mr. Nobley or the actual man, Actor X? (9.94)
Jane expends a lot of mental energy debating whether or not Mr. Nobley, or the man who plays him, saved her from the lecherous Sir John Templeton. We think either of them would have done the right thing in this case.
Quote #8
Some of the guests were actors, some players. Just who was real in this place, anyway? (18.14)
And some are actors playing actors in the play that Miss Charming puts on. Uncoincidentally, this play occurs right when everyone's identity crises are at their peaks.
Quote #9
[Nobley] is acting like a proper gentleman in love, is he not? I might almost say that he looks happy. (18.54)
Once again, we're not sure if Aunt Saffronia is talking about Nobley the man (a.k.a. Henry), or Nobley the actor. This could be a subtle way for Aunt Saffronia to push Jane in his direction. But whatever her intentions are, Henry is definitely happy (from spending so much time with Jane), and it's showing through in his character.
