Query: pleasant spinoff of Austen's sense and sensibility

This novel borrows the character of Nancy Steele, the oldest sister of Lucy Steele who sought to marry Edward Ferrars and ended up marrying Robert. It is ten years or so later, and Nancy is just as silly, affected and garishly gauche as ever. Her relatives and acquaintences tiring of her sponging off them, she takes a position as a paid companion and has various adventures. It's not Jane Austen, but the novel has its share of irony and wit, and it's not too bad either. Worth a read or two.
