To start with, let's understand "room" to mean "a group of people talking". These groups can grow and shrink as people come and go, so we'll want to name and rename them; and we're also going to need some rules to motivate people moving around, and a description to narrate how they behave when we're with them.
Understand "go to [any room]" as joining. Joining is an action applying to one visible thing. Carry out joining: move player to the noun. Report joining: do nothing.
Understand "examine [any room]" as looking toward. Looking toward is an action applying to one visible thing. Carry out looking toward a room: say "In that direction you see [a list of other people in the noun]."
Mr Weston, Mr Woodhouse, Mr Elton, Mr Knightley, and Frank Churchill are men. Mrs Weston, Mrs Bates, Miss Bates, Harriet Smith, Emma Woodhouse, and Jane Fairfax are women.
Harriet Smith likes Mr Elton. Harriet Smith desires Mr Elton. Harriet Smith likes Emma Woodhouse.
And now we use writing a paragraph about... to describe character behavior in groups, when we join them:
{**}Rule for writing a paragraph about Frank Churchill:
if the location contains a woman (called flirt) who is desired by Frank:
say "[Frank Churchill] is talking with great animation and slightly more than becoming warmth to [the flirt][if an unmentioned other person is in the location], while [the list of unmentioned other people in the location] look on with varying degrees of amusement or irritation[end if].";
repeat with character running through people in the location:
if the character is not Churchill and the character is not the flirt, now the character is bored.
Rule for writing a paragraph about Mr Elton:
if the location contains an unmentioned woman (called flirt) who is desired by Elton:
say "[Mr Elton] hangs on the sleeve of [the flirt], offering an assortment of studied gallantries that make you wonder about his good sense.";
repeat with character running through people in the location:
if the character is not Elton and the character is not the flirt, now the character is bored.
Rule for writing a paragraph about Harriet Smith:
if the location contains Emma and Emma is unmentioned:
say "[Harriet] and [Emma] are conversing in low tones -- Harriet, apparently, being too shy to speak so that everyone can hear her."
Rule for writing a paragraph about Mr Knightley:
if the location contains an unmentioned man (called the listener) who is not Mr Knightley:
say "[Mr Knightley] is speaking with [the listener] about agricultural matters.";
now the listener is complacent.
Rule for writing a paragraph about Miss Bates:
say "[Miss Bates] is giggling about the weather[if an unmentioned other person is in the location]. This does not seem to compel the interest of [the list of unmentioned other people in the location][end if].";
repeat with character running through people in the location:
if the character is not Miss Bates and character is not Mrs Bates, now the character is bored.
